BANGOR PETrr SESSIONS. TUESDAY.—Before Mr Charles Pierce, Dr J. Richards, and Mr W. Pughe. Drvnkenness.- For this offence, Wm. Edwards, Aber, was fined 5s and costs; and William Lewis, late of Garden-square, Bangor, 2s 6d and costs. Poaching.-William Owen, Penrhosgarnedd, was fined 50s and costs for poaching on land belonging to Mr Assheton Smith, the case being proved by Mr William Bolton, keeper. Neglecting their Children's Education.-Mr John Williams, school attendance officer acting for the Bangor and Beaumaris Union at Llanfairfechan, proceeded against several persons for neglecting to send their children to school. A summons against M. A. Williams was dismissed, while John Evans, Robert Roberts, and Rowland, Jones, were each fined Is and costs.-In the case of Rowland Jones, the attendance officer said that his wife on one or two occasions sent her girl out of the house in order that she might be able to tell him (the officer) that she was not in (laughter).-Rachel Davies, Kyffin-square, and Richard Jones, Glan adda, were summoned for the same offence by the Bangor School Board, for whom the attendance officer, Mr W. C. Jones, appeared. Jones was fined Is and costs, and in the case of Davies it was decided to send her to prison if she did not send her child more regularly than in the past. Stealing a Purse at Bethesda.-Patrick Roberts, a young lad residing at Glanadda, Bangor, was charged on remand with the larceny of a purse at Bethesda. Catherine Thomas, Brynogwen, Braichmelyn, said that on the 28th ultimo the prisoner came to her house with some woollen thread for sale. Witness told him that she did not require anything, and afterwards went to the garden at the back of the house. Upon her re- turn after an absence of about ten minutes, she was informed by a servant girl that the lad had called a second time, and had entered the chest of drawers, taking away a purse. The witness in- spected the drawers and found that her purse, containing 3s 5jd, hid disappeared.-P.C. Jones, Bethesda, proved having apprehended the prisoner, who, in reply to the ch r, r.g-, admitted having taken the purse,ibut said that it contained only 5id, which would be returned to tuts owner if he (the officer) went with him to his auut. The boy afterwards said that the purse contained about 2s 6d more. The purse was found by the witness in a garden opposite the house from which it was stolen.—Cross examined by Mr S. R. Dew, who was fer the prisoner, the witness siid that the prisoner had been locked for a week.—Mr Dew, in addressing the bench, said that the lad, who was nearly 14 years of age, was without father or mother: iand was being maintained by his uucle, Robert Davies, who employed him to go about with herrings and other things. From time to time the lad was entrusted with large sums of money, and his uncle had never found him dis honest.-The bench looked upon the offence as a very grave one, the lad having paid a second visit to a house for the purpose of stealing. It was not their desire to send him to gaol to mix with hardened criminals, and they had therefore decided that he shculd receive six strokes with the birch rod. A Well-grounded Complaint.-Three lads named William Brittain, Angelo Lazarus, and Hugh Jones were summontd for throwing stones.-The case was proved by P.C. Thomas, who ..said that while on duty at Upper Bangor on the 30th ultimo he saw the defendants playing loughly near Mrs Hopson's shoo. Upon observing witness they ran down Ulan'rafon Hill, and afterwards threw stones up to the main street, one woman having a narrow escape of being struck. They also called witness bad names. Many complaints were made by inhabitants of Upper Bangor about children throwing stones, and more especially about the defendants.—The chairman remarked that the lenient course which the court was in the habit of adopting in such cases as this had not the desired effect; this was an offence which must be stopped and as the bench could only punish the parents, they trusted they would warn their children. The parents of each child would be fined 5s and costs. It was pointed out that upon a second offence the fine would be con- siderably increased. Begging.—George Davies, a young lad, whose mother was summoned for not sending him to school, was fined 2s 6d and costs for begging. i

A TERRIFIC GALE. THE HOLYHEAD BREAKWATER DAMAGED. A fearful gale was blowing in the Irish Channel on Sunday night and Monday, when the sea break- ing over the magnificent breakwater at Holyhead presented a grand spectacle. The wind was W.N.W., and was accompanied by very heavy sea, and blinding storms of hall and rain. About 4.0 a.m. on Monday, the coastguards on duty at Hohhead observed signals of distress outside the breakwater. The lifeboat Thomas Fielden, belong- ing to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, was in a few minutes, although blowing a hurri- cane, launched, and proceeded to sea, and after a very hard struggle got alongside the vessel. At daybreak she was anxiously looked for by the coastguards, and she could be seen to leewards, the sea sometimes breakiog clean over her; but she was behaving splendidly, aDd about 9.0 a.m. she came in. The vessel proved to be Thomas AyZan, bound from Runcorn to Plymouth. She had escaped undamaged, witb:the exception of her fore yard having been carried away. Between eight and nine a.m., the Glynwood from Nova Scotia to Rhyl, with timber, was seen driving towards a dangerous spot, having parted her cabls. The lifeboat and the tug Sea King went to her assistance, and she was ultimately brought safely in, having lost her anchors, &c. The heavy sea was sweeping over the breakwater tremendously, and soon it was discovered that a large gap had baen made on the upper part of it, near the light- house, the massive stone-work on the top being carried away for a length of about 120 feet, and the sea swept furiously jthrough the gigantic gap. The Royal mail steamer L?inster (Captain J. Thomas), from Kingstown, arrived safely, being a little over an hour late. In the afternoon the brigantine Citizen, of Yongball, and bound there from Cornwall, was seen driving fast towards the breakwater, her sails being all in pieces. Three tugs and a lifeboat went to her assistance, but she rounded the breakwater without aid, but could not tack in to the harbour. She was eventually got in tow, and brought in safely. Just at the time a Norwegian barque was reported to be in great danger at Rhoscolyn, and the life-saving apparatus in charge of the coast- guards immediately started there, but by the time they arrived, it was found that their services were not required, the Rhoscolyn lifeboat having at great risk rendered valuable assistance in saving the crewe. The old gunboat Express which had been pur- chased lately by a Liverpool gentleman, was in tow from Plymouth to Liverpool, when the ropes parted, but the crew were got on board the tug. The Express ran ashore at Aberffraw and became a total wreck. The London and North Western Railway Com- pany cargo boat, North Wall, which started from Holyhead, had to put back to port owing to the severity of the storm. During the storm on Sunday night, a brick chimney in Newry-street was blown down, but fortunately no one was injured. The authorities at South Stack between eight and nine on Tuesday evening informed the coast- guards at Holyhead that a vessel was displaying signals of distress, and preparations were im- mediately made to launch the lifeboat. Several hundred persons were soon on the beach, and the lifeboat was launched and taken in tow by the "Sea King," the Storm King" having previously started. It was discovered that the vessel was the '• Dronning Sophie," the Nor- wegian barque which had been riding heavily at anchor at Rhoscolyn since Tuesday. She was in tow of the tug Ranger," and was taken safely to harbour. The signals it appears were displayed when she was starting from Rhoscolyn. On Wednesday morning the screw steamer Planet," of London, from Belfast to Penarth, Cardiff, was towed in to the harbour, having received some damage to her machinery. The old schooner Belt," of Newry, which went on tha breakwater on Tuesday while shift- ing berth in the harbour, has become a total 1 wreck. Several places have been damaged more or less by the gales. A thatched roofed house called Pen- ybryn, by Porthyfelin, Holyhead, was in great danger, and had it not been for men belonging to the Trinity House the roof all would have been cairied away. SHIPWRECKS ON THE COASTS. The schooner yacht "Pleione," ashore at Bangor, will become a total wreck. A three-masted vessel went aground during the gale in Cardigan Bay. The Aberystwytb lifeboat was launched, but had great difficulty in approach- ing the vessel. A SHOP BLOWN DOWN. At Holywell the side of a fruiterer's shop was blown out, the read being blocked with debris. In the adjoining districts trees were uprooted and blocked the roads, and a large quantity of grain which remained unharvested has been completely spoiled. MEN AT STRAITS. A large number of vessels put into the Menai Straits, off Beaumaris, during the heavy gale. No serious damage was done, the district having escaped with slight injury to house property and the breaking away from their moorings of some boats near Garth Ferry. Owing to the violence of the gale ferry traffic between the Anglesey and Carnarvonshire sides of the Straits was suspended ) during the greater part of the day. At Carnarvon several vessels dragging their anchors were I stranded. In one instance a young sailor, fearing that his ship would founaer, jumped into the sea, and with much difficulty succeeded in reaching the shore. Hundreds of people watched the movements of the vessels moored in the Straits. The sea spray swept clean over the promenade and the town walls facing the Straits. A large quantity of wreckage has been washed ashore, and it was feared that many casualties would be reported. Scores of trees were uprooted, and some of the country roads were nearly impassable.

THE CARNARVON SCHOOL BOARD AND ITS APPOINTMENTS. THE REV W. MORGAN, B A., ON SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. The monthly meeting of the above board was held on Monday evening under the presidency of Mr W. P. Williams, the attendance also including the Revs Owen Davies, O. Ll. Davies, W. Morgan, Father Jones, Messrs J. Davies, W. l-t. Thomas, and J. H. Thomas (clerk). THE NEW MISTRESS OF THE GIRLS' SCHOOL.— THE VALIDITY OF THE PROTEST AGAINST THE APPOINTMENT. Father Jones, in accordance with notice, moved —" Inasmuch as the record, entered in the minutes at our last meeting, of Mr W. G. Thomas's dissent from the action of the board at a previous board, I in appointing Miss Johnson as mistress of the Girls' School, was not allowed by the vote of the board that it has been erroneously represented in the public press as a protest allowed by the board against its own action and that more especially it forms an undesirable precedent; it be expunged from the minutes before the same are signed by the chairman." The rev. gentleman, who was very indistinctly heard, contended that such a record should not be allowed to appear on the books. He did not wish to disagree from any member of the board except when a matter of principle was involved, such as at present, which was of very great importance. It was very irregular and unusual for an absent member to enter a protest on the book and for the board to allow a protest against its own legitimate action. He maintained the appointment was made by the board in a perfectly regular manner, the vacancy having been advertised in the ordinary way. There were fourteen applicants, but as the board had decided that only those who had some know- ledge of Welsh should be entertained, the number was reduced to four. Miss Johnson was included in the latter number, and thE, board, knowing that she had three years' experience of a Welsh school, were of the belief that she had a knowledge of the Welsh language. Mr Thomas's protest he looked upon as a vote of censure upon the board. And, moreover, the board had been subjected to very unfair and uncalled, for criticism in the public press, and dust cast into the eyes of the public. Mr J. Davies remarked it struck him that the Rev Father Jones in calling attention to one irregularity was perpeti atmg another irregularity. The board had agreed to this record being entered, as a safety valve" for Mr W. G. Thomas; but the rev gentleman was now raising the whole question in a somewhat irregular manner. Now that the appointment had been made it was the duty of the board to support the new mistress in the arduous duties which she had to discharge. Father Jones I do not want to raise the whole question again, only so far as it stands as a precedent. It was not passed by the board. The Rev O. LI. Davies: I was not present,at the meeting at which the protest was entered, and I was very much surprised to find the report in a Welsh paper. I never heard of such a thing in my life. Mr Thomas said that at the last [meeting he made some remarks in the most courteous manner without entering into any personalities. He stated his reasons for the protest very clearly and very moderately, but of course he was not respon- sible for the articles appearing in the papers after- wards. To object to a:protest or a dissatisfaction being entered upon the minute book was as much as to say that the members could not express an opinion, and that that opinion should not be entered in the minutes. Father Jones was present when the protest was made, and yet did not feel it incumbent upon him then to object to the protest being entered, and surely if he wished to object, this was not the time to do so. But not only had the rev gentleman come to the board with a motion to have the record expunged, he had also taken the trouble to write a letter to a newspaper stating things which he (Mr Thomas) did not want to answer through the medium of the press, but he thought he was now called upon to make some remarks in reference to the same. The Clerk I hardly think it is in order to make comments here upon what appeared in a news- paper. Mr Thomas: The comments were made because of the action of th3 board. Father Jones has been allowed to enter into the whole question without being stopped in any way; and if I am stopped on the other side 1 shall appeal to the chairman, and I wish the reporters to understand that I am stopped.. The Rev Father Jones I do not raise the ques- tion of the Welsh language. I am only speaking of this protest. Mr Thomas proceeded to quote from the pub- lishpd letter of the Rev Father Jones, when Mr J. Davies asked whether he would not reply to what had been said by Father Jones, and after- wards, he might, if he chose, reply to the letter in the newspaper, whose channels were no doubt open. He felt that Mr Thomas was digressing, although he believed that Father Jones had tempted him to digress. The Rev Father Jones I simply spoke to a point of order. Mr Thomas Not only that, if there was a point of order at all. but you also entered into the merits of the case. If they are to be entered into on one side, sqrely it is only fair that they should also be entered into on the other side. The Chairman It is very desirable not to go through the general question. The Rev Father Jones, proceeding, said that the precedent about to be established was a very bad one, and was never allowed in the House of Com- mons except when a peer was absent in the House of Lords. If he (Father Jones) should happen to be absent from any meeting of the board in future he would claim a right to enter a protest on the minute book against anything passed at the pre- vious meeting to which he objected. Mr Thomas The House of Commons and the House of Lords were in existence this day month, and you had an opportunity of raising your ob- jection then, which was the proper time. vious meeting to which he objected. Mr Thomas The House of Commons and the House of Lords were in existence this day month, and you had an opportunity of raising your ob- jection then, which was the proper time. Father Jones: I would have done that had you given me notice. Mr Thomas It did not require notice. The Chairman: If every member were allowed to enter a protest on the minutes in respect of something passed at a meeting from which he was absent, there would be no end to our deliberations. However, as Mr J. Davies has pointed out, we allowed Mr Thomas to give expression to his feel- ings in this manner. Mr Thomas pointed out that Father Jones had said that this board was not bound by the previous one with regard to the question of Welsh. The board was bound, for five of them were members of the other board, and had mentioned the teach- ing of Welsh in their addresses. He deprecated the action of the rev gentleman stating that the grants should be less owing to the teachers being Welsh speaking. These teachers, he (Mr Thomas) strongly contended were as able a set as they could possibly have. The Chairman Father Jones alone is respon- sible for what appeared in the paper. The Rev Owen Davies considered that the board were making too much of this matter. Whether it was usual or regular to insert a protest in the minutes under the circumstances narrated he did not know. He quite agreed that the thing was done in due form, though, as he thought at the time, and thought so still, in too great a hurry. He suggested that the agenda be proceeded with. The Rev W. Morgan referred to an impression which seemed to be fabroad in the town that he, together with the Rev Father Jones, was respon- sible for the appointment of Mies Johnson; but he wished to say that he expressed not a single word about the appointment in any way. It was unfortunate that the reporters were not present at the time; and it ought to be remembered that the proceedings of that board, whether reporters be present or not, should not be considered as in camera. In self defence he intended to make use of the public prints. Mr J. Davies, who believed that the Rev Father Jones would be content with the discussion which had taken place, moved that the minutes be adopted as they were. Mr W. G. Thomas seconded the motion, -which t was agreed to. I The Rev Owen Davies afterwards pointed out that Miss Johnson was appointed on the under- standing that she knew a little Welsh, and that it was hbr intention to learn it more thoroughly. THE ATTENDANCE AT THE SCHOOLS" A DISGRACE TO THE BOROUGH." The Rev W. Morgan called attention to the small attendance in the various schools under the control of the board, by which, he submitted, the town and the ratepayers were losers. The at- tendance, as would be shown by figures which he proposed to lay before them, was very unsatisfac- tory. The Rev Owen Davies We are at one with vnn as to that. 01-- Mr Morgan then said that in the boys' school the number on the books for the past month was 280, while the average attendance was only 210. The girls' school was still worse, showing a num- ber of 263 on the bocks and only an average attendance of 176, being on!y 66 per cent. of the whole number. The Rev O. Davies The attendance for the year has been very good, has it not ? Mr Morgan Oh, I do not know. The vieik: Your figures refer to a very excep- tional time. Mr Morgan No; they are the true facts, which cannot be disputed; therefore please allow me to go on. The Rev O. Davies also pointed out that he was dealing with an exceptional month, while what should be done was to take in the whole year. Mr Morgan I think if you were to put together the whole of tht year I would not be far from .t. Continuing, he said that bis figures were indis- putable. They might be explained; but he would say that the discrepancy between the number on the books and the average attendance was a disgrace to the board. The other day he visited the Deiniolen Board Schools, of which he must say Wales m'ght be proud. He never met with a more intelligent, nor a better taught set of children in his life. And why were they in such a flourish- ing condition 1 He was bound to say that it was attributable to the good attendance. The number on the books of the infant department was 147, the average attendance for the year being 130; of 130 girls on the books there was an average attendance of 115; while out of 140 boys on the books the average attendance was as high as 134. If it was possible in a country place, where children lived a great distance from the school, to get them to attend in such large numbers, surely they ought to get as satisfactory a state of things at Carnarvon, with the result that the schools would be more efficient generally. He was also greatly satisfied at the Deiniolen School with the intelligence of the children, and their ability to translate from Welsh into English, and from English into Welsh. He as^ed the master what means he adopted to secure the attendance of the children; and his reply was that he was assisted by the board, who gave each child attending the largest number of times suitable rewards in the way of books. A similar scheme, if adopted, would undoubtedly pay well at Carnarvon. The Chairman I am afraid you are instituting a comparison at an exceptional time in the history of the schools at Carnarvon. There is a great deal of difference between the schools of the country and of the town. Mr Morgan: Yes, this difference, that the country schools are very much better than the town schools. The Rev O. Davies believed that the analogy was not complete. No doubt localities like Llan- ddeiniolen were much more favourable to good at- tendance than a town like Carnarvon. He wished to know what town similarly situated to Carnar- von could show better figures as regards the at- tendance at schools. Mr Morgan: Some time ago I gave you the figures at Portmadoc. Mr Davies That was not a fair comparison either. Of course I do not wish to convey the idea that things are in a satisfactory state here, but we must consider the circumstances we have passed through in this town during the past few years. We have done everything in our power to improve the attendance, but it may be that we have fined too few. I think we ought to be very ready to do whatever we can to increase the at- tendance. The chairman observed that many parents from the country were very often summoned before the magistrates for neglecting to send their children to school, and that might account for that which Mr Morgan had referred to. Mr J. Davies said they were all agreed that the sjhools were not in the state they onght to be; but now that Mr Morgan was a member of the board he hoped that he would co-operate with the other members to find means whereby the at- tendance could be improved. For several reasons Mr Morgan's analogy would not stand good, one reason being that the bead-master and mistress at Carnarvon had been laid up for several weeks. Mr Morgan: You must not take it that I bring this forward from any hostile feeling, but rather from a sense that something ought to be im- mediately done to rectify matters. Mr W. G. Thomas agreed with what Mr Morgan had said, but he had expected him to finish up by making a suggestion upon which the board could act. Mr Morgan then suggested that they should give prizes to the children, and if that failed let parents be prosecuted. After some further observations from Mr W. G. Thomas, it was decided, on the motion of the Rev Owen Davies, to adjourn the meeting until that day week to fully discuss the question of attend- ance.

DISTRICT CHURCH MEETING.- The Jistrict church meeting of the Calvinistic Mechodists was held on Tuesday at Penrhosfeilw. the Rev R. Morgan Jones, M.A., conducting. The subject, viz, "The conformity of the church with the world being detrimental to its influence upon the world," was opened by Mr G. P. Griffith. The Rev W. R. Jones, Messrs T. Forcer Evans, J.P., Isaac Williams, William Owen, and Lewis Lewis also spoke upon the subject. It was decided that the next meeting be held at Hyfrydle, when the same subject will be discussed, to be opened by the Rev Owen Hughes. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—The ordinary meeting of the board was held on Tuesday, when there were present: Messrs R. Williams (chairman), O. Parry and W. Riva (vice-chair- men), Richard Hughes, Hugh Jones, Thomas Owen, O. H. Fouikes, Capt George Lewis, Capt John Owen, Messrs Owen Hughes, Thomas Roberts, G. J. Griffiths, John Jones, J. Price Rowlands, R. Gardner, R. Williams (Gwaen- fynydd), and the Rev J. Richards, J.P. Out relief.—Mr O. H. Foulkes called attention to the fact that tnere was an increase in the out- relief. He had read an account of a conference at Preston of members of different unions, and they were able to report that the out relief was de- creasing, and this was attributed to improvement in trade. Trade was improving in Anglesey, and he could not see why their out-relief should not decrease in consequence of this.—Mr Thomas Owen remarked that the paupers were Hot trading, and the relief was given to those who could not work. The result was that provisions were getting higher.—The clerk stated that the decrease in the unions mentioned was due to the workhouse test being carried out, and if they were to apply that their out-relief would be sure to diminish.- Mr Foulkes said he was not of the same opinion as Mr Owen on the matter, as when wages were getting higher the poor were benefited by it.—Mr Gardner mentioned several unions in which there were very large number of in door paupers, while the out-relief was very small. He considered that they were offering great inducement to the paupers, as the amount of relief per head was very high. The matter was allowed to drop. One Sanitary Inspector for Anglesey.—Mr Thomas Owen said that Mr Lewis Hughes, Amlwch, bad given notice of motion to come before the next meeting of the County Council to consider whether it would be advisable to appoint one inspector of nuisance for the whole of Anglesey, and he would be glad to know the feeling of the guardians on the matter.-Several members expressed their opinion that the amount of work done by the inspectors of nuisance was very small, and Mr Gardner remarked that they would better do away with them altogether, or employ them on piece-work" (laughter).—Upon the motion of Mr R. Gardner, seconded by Mr R.
