Four brothers n, Bdi Hugh Oliver, John Oliver, Griffith O ivt-r, and Joseph Oliver, together with <>•«f-1 Davicti and W illiam, Humphreys, were by too police with having com- sc "<i a breach of the county by-laws by BO1- ng use of abusive language, gesture, arc conduct, so as to put persons in fear. Mi i. R. IXiw prosecuted, and Mr Caer J<,f' s defended. At the instance of Owen Pi-ry, Gefnant, Llandegai Mountain, H. Or. Griffith Oliver, Joseph Oliver, and J< Oliver were summoned for assault; w}iv t EdwarcUJ. Davies also charged Owen IX en and Joseph Oliver for assault. Mr LI i Garter (Messrs Carter, Vinoent, and Co Bangor and Carnarvon) appeared to pt .<"uttJ for Owen Parry and Edward J. Dt AS, Lvir Caer JOTACS defending. All the ca." "s were- taken together. Fridav, June 27th, said Mr Carter, foimen named Owen Parry, William Wil- lia u<, John Davit's, and hi. sou, Edward J. Da 8, were leaving thair work at the Pen- rh:" Quarry, a.nd were walking along a foe• pith in the direction a, Gefrant. They no1 -ad a number of people, who had been enj ling themsalve-sin a proper and rational way. tlherre having been a tea party, in conviction with the Coronation. The four men walked along the footpath which led. I. o, a (rate where a polii«e constable had bee- in the habit of meeting them, when the* came from their work, and escorting thef alone; the highway to their respective hem ~*i. Someone in the crowd saw the four met and callt/d out that the "traitors" wee coming, and the crowd made a rush fm; *dB the workmen. The brothers Oli- ver^ were alleged to be foremost in Lhe ono^vt, and one of them, Hugh Oliver, went I up Owkn Parry and asked why he had abL. d his (Olivers) father, referring to SOD hine that had t,aken place between Ow Parrv and the father in November. It a strangt' matter for comment that altl .jgh, the unpleasantness between tne twc ccurred in November, and Parrv Jlad seet- Oliver on several occasions since thea, not ag was mentioned about the matter unt that day. Wh^n Hugh Oliver cane tip Parrv. the latter said, "If your father has anything to say, let him come to me hitr. M." Then Griffith Oliver said, "Let's kill he lr- traitors now," and he had a ran' )d in his hand, which, it was alleged, he J 4d in a threatening attitude. The fcwx !rrotlicrs wt:re VCTV threatening, and it wa;- with some difficulty that Ow?n Parry wae xtrioated from their gra.sp. The part- cf t rtinen made their way along the road anc; hey found John Davies trying to ^et Iiis -n away from t.ne Oliver-, who had seiF 1 the boy by the throat. Thn father waF tidearouring by persuasion and for, to mal.* these men release his son, and that was "De of the assaults of which the pro-e- cut.,1). complained. Thcl crowd began to got "ery threatening when the mien were walk ng along, and stones were throwti at the n. The Oliver- were in front of the crowd, and certain of them threw stores. John Davies did not pre!er a cha.- re of assault, because he oould not ideivify the person who threw the stone whici struck him. The workmen had to wal backwards for 100 yards until thev can to the polios constable. The present case was similar to others which had occu- pies ;he attention of the justices for months pas He was happy to srate that no ser- iom, ?onseouences had resulted from the as- sauu, the assaulted workman bearing nf eigii of ill-usage, still the stonas which were ihr. >vn mi/ht have seriously hurt the com- plainant. It was a proper case to Bring be- fore ;be notice of the court, for, undoubted- ly, m assault and battery had betm. com- mit' d upon his clients. He had been in lbop(-; that the people in the Bethesda neighbourhood would have thought better of thejr past misconduct and would have left tihirf, workmen alone, but on June 27th, when people were enjoying themselves, a joyc* s crowd turned itself into a threaten- ing assembly directly the four men from tbo quarry appeared, flinging stout's and 3, saul* ngth*j workmen at. every opportunity. He oped that the Bench would put down this practice with a heavy hand. Was tliei going t0 be amend to all this ? Were polit ^vtaeh't-o be kept at Bethepda merelv to rwc.'itJ workmen who were quietly wafting horn, from their wGrk? The brothers Oli- ver "iad appeared in court previously, upon simr ;r charpes. Mr Dew, for the police, submitted that the I inguage used by tin) defendants brought tKet. well within the meaning of the, by- law ,In. the subject. The penalties which had iteen imposed in like esses had been in- effec ual in putting down these offences, and iie MTxd that the Bench, if they found the cases proved, would inflict such tines as Wous l stem the prance once and fov all. T1 i Chairman remarked that the liench had "one its best to prevent the recurrence of ti, 'se cases. If-. Dew said that tie heaviest penalty impc t.-d' by the Bench in the Bethenda. cases was 2. Tl., Chairman: Th-it's very nearly half the jughest oennity. My Dew But it is not enough. Tk » Chairman: We wish to put dowu the practice if only to save our time. Ov m Parry, in the course of his evidence, said chat the broCiiers Oliver were in the front of the oxowd. but he could not identify the person who str uck him.

Wit-new- went up to the crowd and cautioned them.- -Crcsa-examincd Davies never told him that Joseph Oliver had struck his son. Mr Caer Jones contended that after the evidence- of the lasq witness the ca&e for the prosecution must fall through. He had fifteen witnesses to call wlio would flavly contradict the evideuoe of the prosecution. The Bench said they did not feel justified in stopping the; case at that stage. Mr Caer Jones thfill proceeded to address the Bench for the defence. He submitted that, the prosecutors walked into the crowd and endeavoured to provoke a quarrel. Defendant Owen Davies was called, and said that on June 27th he joined in a Sun- day School tea, which was followed by games, iie denied having done anything to Edward J. Davies.—Cross-examined The- was no shouting of "traitors" nor did -vit- ness see anv ,3tones thrown. Joseph Oliver denied having taken ho id of Edward J. Davies or Owen Parrv.

Cross-examined: He did nothing to Edward J. Davies. Ho saw a few stones"Ttbrown by children. fri reply to Mr Dew defendant said that all the evidence given by the prosecution respect- ing his action lÎn tho matter was untrue. Hugh Oliver denied having taken hold of Owen Parry, nor did he throw a stone at hmi.—Oro&s-examined He did ask Owen Parry if he was going to set upon him (de- fendant) as ho had .done upon his father. There was not good feeling between him and Owtn Parry. He denied having brandished a. ramrod. He saw 80me stones behtg I thrown, and he heard ''traitors" being shouted out. The police officer appealed to the crowd to desist. Ho did not hca." any adult, say anything to the children against stone throwing. Mr Carter: And you were all member of the Sundav School P Defendant: Yes. Mr Carter: Then you ought uo be ashamed of vounselves. In reply to Mr Dew defendant said b« thought the prosecutors had come up with the object of annoying them. John Oliver gave corroborative evidence. Griffith Oliver denied having done anv- thing to Owen Parry. Thomas John Hushes. Elizabeth Jones, and' Richard Thomas also g-ave evidence.

Davies, Tanyraaes, Portdiuorwic, made an application for an administration order, and stated that his debts amounted to £ 48 9s 5d.—The Judge pointed out that thure were other debts not. included in the list, and therefore brought them over £ 50. -—On the application of Mr R.

CLAIM AND COUNTERCLAIM. J. Issard Davies, Llys Marion, Carnar- I von, brought an action agairibt Robert Hughes, Cae Mur, Carnarvon, for £ (i, for breach of acrreement and damage to a pump. There was. also a counterclaim for certain fences that had been taken down.—Mr R. Gordon Roberts appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr ,j. T. Roberts defended.—Mr Gor- don Roberts said thao in 1856 Mr Issard Da- vies agreed to let a piece cf land—part of the Ysgubor Wen estate—at an yearly rent of £ 11, the land to be let for grazing pur- poses onlv. In 1900 a portion the field wa.s required by the Corporation for widen- ing the road, and otherwise improving the property. Mr Issard Davies consented to allow a. certain portion of the land to be used for the purpose of widening the road, and about 127 yards were used, and dtiQ held wais about two acres in tS-^nt. To- wards the end of 1900 Mr Issard Davies saw the defendant cutting a crop of hav he had grown on the land. He remonstrated with him, and said that he would have to pro- vide manure. Four pounds was the value of the manure which should have been pu' > upon the land; and it was assumed that eight loads at 5s a load would be re-quired t. do justice to the land after tin? crop. When the improvements were effected a nov pump was put in. It;. was broken and damaged, and when application wa.s made to the defendant to make good the: dt-mage he ignored it. Therti was a countere'aim for £ 5 for interruption of tenancy, but the pla,iritiff held that this interruption took place with the knowledge and acquieseneo of the tenant.—Evidence was given by Ro bert Jt iff revs (his agent) and John Jones,— Mr J. T. Roberts, for the defence, held that the fence had been pulled down to make the improvement, to the road. The cattle strayed hocause the field was open to the road. His client did all in his opinion fo keep them in the field. As they did not remain he had nothing to do but to mow the hay. With regard to the pump the de. fendant was not liable unless it could oc proved ("hat he had been negligent.—Evi- dence. was given by W. Hall, Borough Sur- veyor, who said that 128 square yards, in- cluding an old hedge, were taken away from the field for widening purposen. Witness said that, he saw the pump, which was very old and practically ijr^U's<-<, and he recom- mend-pd Mr Issard Davie- not to have it re- fixed. The tenant. was for a month or two without the use of the pump.—His Honour said that in a matter of this kind where both parties made concessions in the public interest it was a pity that anything should bt: heard of the claim or counterclaim. II suggested that both be withdrawn with no costs on either side. The parties agreed to this arrangement. CLAIM FOR RENT. R. Jeffreys, estate agent, Carnarvon, sued S. Bibby, Palace street, Carnarvon, for £ 3 3s, rent dut, from%lary done., deceased, Skinner street, Carnarvon.- -Mr J. T. Ro- berts appeared fcr the plaintiff, and Mr R. Roberts defended. — R. Jeffreys said that Mary Jones was the tenant of a house :n Skinner street, and she1 died on the 29th April a fortnight before the rent was due. She had furniture in the house, ind Mr Bibby took it. away. He applied to Mr Bibby for the rent., and the latter told him that he had taken the furniture, in order that he might have money to pay the funeral expenses.—For the defence Mr R. Roberts called £ >. Bibby, who said that the deceased was in receipt of parish relief. He took the furniture, and fce pa.id the funeral ex- penses, which amounted to t5 10s 8d. The furniture was sold by auction. — The case was adjourned. A BUILDING DISPUTE, Henry Thomas, architect, &c., Castle Ditch, Carnarvon, sued R. W. Hughes, Llvg Heien, Watnfawr, for £ 13 12s 8d, OOfit of plans, specifications, &c., prepared.—Mr R. Roberts appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr J- T. Roberts for the defendant.—Mr R. Roberts said that, the defendant called upon the phdntiff and told him that he was anxious to have a plan made of a hou<e which he intended to erect at Waenfawr and a certain sum of money was mentioned to the plaintiff. The plaintiff made a draw- ing which was approved by the defendant and Mr Thomas was then askt-d to prepare plans and specifications, and arrange for tenders. Three or four tenders were re- ceived, and the lowest, that of Hacrh Roberts, Groeslon, which amounted ,o £ -/5, was accepted. An agreement wns drawn ou< by the plaintiff and signed ov the defendant. A considerable amount of materiaJ was brought on the land, and Hugh Robert procteded with the work up to a Certain point, when he became bankrupt, ihere was a counterclaim for £27. for al- Ic,ge.d neglizenec,. on the part of his client.

Thomas the plaintiff, vt r nce' r,r'd in cross-exarninat'ion he ?aid he considered the tender of Hugli Ro- berts too low.—For the defence, Mr J T Roberts submitted that the. plaintiff v,,as lict entaned to R5 for superintending the work, <vc. The Dla/intiff never suggested t0 his client when he prepared the p!an.« and specifications that the house would cost mort: than £ 250, and the instructions cf hi? client were that the co-t should not, ex- ceed that amount.

WHAT CAN BE DIGESTED MOST EASILY?—The right answer to this question is necessary for oveiy man and woman in •■■he enjoyment of general health, because good health depends mainly on tha proper action of the diglest i t?e organs, and these are speedily deranged Ly unwholesome and un- assailable food. But it is most necessary in the nursery and sick-iwom. The diges- tion of children, like their other powers, is imperfectly developed; it must be stimulat- eod, but, before all, it must not be taxed. The digestion of invalids, on -he other hand, lias become torpid, perha.ps disorganised. In ail such cases, recourse may be hr-i, with per- I fect confidence, to HORLICK'S MALTED I MILK, which is a perfect driet for infancy and childhood, an invaluable preparation in the sick-room, and a refieshng and sustain- I ing beverage for all time's and seasons.

The proceedings wtTe opened very properly by opening wide the doors of the Mission Room,, which was spe.edily hlled by the expectant crowd, which had been waiting outside. Here the Mayor and president had provided t-a to all comers, and it looked as if all had come. The feast proved in every respect wcrthy .f the occasion and of the caterer, the jovial Mr C. Rowlands. The oakos, of wh;ch a ¡ prodigious quantfity was disposed, were sup- plied by the; Misswi Williams and Mrs Ed- wards, while other dainties were provided by Mrs Francis, all of Bull Bay. Eventually, however, the patriots were induced, but not without considerable persuasion, to moderate their loyal demonstrations and leave the cakes and the tea tables and be- r take themselves to a field close by (kindly lent for the occasion by Mr Owen, of Ty- gwyn) to witness the sports which had been arrangedto oommenoe at six o'clock.

The next itt-m was a three-lodged race for competitors over 20 years of age. Several well-known gentlemen aspired to fame in bhis. raoe. The trophy was (jarri M off by two gentlemen who bore the good but hy no means rare name of Jones. There existed, however, a pretty general feciing amongKt the spectators that if the Dr. and Ted Jones could have agreed in time< with which foot to start they might have stood a chance. After the three-legged race there was a potatoo race (which dops not mean that the potatoes were racing). This was won by William Thomas, second Hugji Owtjnt William Roberts took the first prize in the 200 yards flat rie", wl).'le R. Williams was the successful competitor inthe high i-imp competition. Then followed the cigarette race, the conditions of entry being that every competitor must have a lady, a cigarette, and a match. The committee undertook to provide the cigarettes and the matche/s, but declined responsibility ;n re- gard to the ladies. The prizes were carried off by Messrs R. Williams and IT. Parrv. The event of the evening, however, was still to come, viz., a. tug-of-war between married and .single' ladies. A right roval tug took place, and to the glory jot the handsome husbands bo it recorded that their wives won. There ha^not been such a tug-of-wnr in Pull 'Br.v ^ince 1899, when the ladies pulled so determidlv that the rone hrokp. Then, of course, honours were dividod.
