THE ALLEGED LITERARY
THE ALLEGED LITERARY FRAUDS. WELSH VICTIMS. AT Bow-street, London, on Monday, Sir Gilbert Edward Campbell, Bart., William James Morgan, David William Tolmie, James Sidney Tomkins, and William Nathan Steadrnan, were charged on remand with conspiracy to defraud by means of bogus literary and art societies. Mr H. Gill, instructed by Mr Fravling, prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury Mr J. X. Murphy appeared for Sir Gilbert Campbell, Mr Crawshaw defended Clarke, and Mr E. F. Lever represented Tolmie. Mr St. John Wontner appeared for Morgan. Steadman and Tomkins were undefended. Evidence was given by James Swindells, a schoolmaster, of Manchester, William Simpson, waiter, of Cardiff; Miss Elizabeth Letchmere, Rock House, Fawnhode, near Hereford; Rev Marcus Samuel Cam Rickards, of Twigworth, Gloucester; Edward Williams, a retired coal mdrchant, of Kifle-crescent, Aston, Birmingham; and Edward Sherwin, a schoolmaster, of Con- nah's Quay, Flintshire. The latter stated that in consequence of ill-health, in 1889, he adver- tised for some lighter work, and offered £100 security. He received a reply from Morgau, on the paper of the National Artistic Union, and with the printed address, 61, Berners-street, crossed out, and 8, Raeburn-street, Brixton, written in. He called at the address, and saw Morgan, who said he was an editor. The result of the interview was that he deposited the £100 security, and was to receive eight per cent, in- terest and a salary of £150..Morgan referred I him to Tomkins and Tolmie, who gave, Morgan an excellent character. The address was 9, John-street, Adelphi, Tolmie and Tomkins called occasionally. The name on the door was the Artists' Alliance. Witness was the registrar, and was employed in sending out prospectuses, averaging from 300 to 400 per week. Morgan was engaged in correspondence most of the day. I By the prospectus chequet and postal orders were to be made payable to witness, but the only cheques he ever endorsed were those re- I ceived in salary. They changed the address in I a few months, but witness did not know until afterwards that the door had been screwed up because the reht was not paid. Morgan said he had invested his £100 with Dr Clarke in a news- paper called Dramatic Opinion. On the door at 20, York Buildings. there were the names of James Longman and Co., The Theatrical Time* and Jljusic Hall Gazette. but he knew nothing about either of them. He had only been with Morgan a few weeks when he gave notice and asked for the return of his money, but could not get it. He made application through a soli- citor, and received a few instalments. He re- mained with Morgan twelve months for the purpose of getting his money back. lIe never saw Sir Gilbert Campbell until these proceed- ings were instituted, when witness was also arrested. He had since resumed his duties as a schoolmaster. The prisoners were again remanded, bail being refused for Tolmie and Morgan.
■ THE COWL YD WATER SCHEME.…
■ THE COWL YD WATER SCHEME. | GOVERNMENT IJ.QUIRY AT CONWAY. ON Monday morning, Mr Smith, C E„ inspector of the LoctI Government Board, SH.t at the Guild Hall, Conway, to inquire into an applica- j tion t) borrow £ 3C,000 for tho purposes of a scheme for o^'tainicg water from the CjwJyc! Lake to supply Conway, Colwyn Ihy, L'angys- teuin, Cownd, lil;d Llysfaen, as well as the out- lying district. There were in attendance :—Tho Rev W. Vennblrs Williams, chairman of the authority Mr T. I'urry, cierk Mr T. it. Far- nugtou, C.K. engineer ot the scheme Aider- man Edward Jones, Mtssrs U. Krieesh^w, John Porter, J. C. Wallace, Thomas Bugbird, contrac- tor of tlie scheme; Niessrs Newton, Ritchie, ) consulting engineers a;.d others. f The liev W. Yenabhv, Wilhams alluded to the interest. Mr Smith, the inspector, had always [ taken in the Slme, and to the assistance he had rendered m gv.ttiug the hii 1 passed- Mr Farriugton submitted detailed plans of the scheme, und showed that, it would require 17,000 yards of piping frow thtl luke down to Talybont. The water would be taken to Dol- garrog and Talyl-ont, and across the liver near Conway by a bridge, ana then on to n point, called Sain Fynach, a cross road from LIausantSctiid and CMwyn Bay, where a jointure wouW be made with the already existing pipes. The engineer gave a detttiied explanation of the scueme, and said the p-ping, eai Uienw; re and castir,>n would be respectively of 15 iuch and 12 inch diameler.—In reply to the inspector, Mr l-'arr.n^'ton explained the mode he intended to take the pipes on a parallel w;tli the suspension bridge, this" being the most im- portant part of the w.rrk. .Air Newton, the eminent consulting engineer, said that he had thoroughly considered the plans,, and quite approved the scheme. He thought it was amply .sufficient for the purpose, lie considered that, the plan of crossing the river was perfectly feasible. Mr J. Ritchie, from Perthshire, as represent- ing the owners of the lllke. nlso approved the scheme generally. Mr Vaughan, engine# Newcastle-on-Tyne, thought the provision fur crossing the river was sufficient for the purpose, and that the bridge would be exceedingly rigid." There being no opposition The Rev W. Venahles Williams moved a hearty vote of thanks to Mr Smith for the care- ful and patient manner be had conducted the inquiry, Lhe question being a most momentous one to the district. Mr Albert Wood, in seconding, remarked that an abundant supply of water was what they were in need of. Mr Smith briefly replied, and said the scheme, be believed, would give the district an ample supply of water for many years to come. -1-
CHESHIRE & CARNARVONSHIRE…
CHESHIRE & CARNARVONSHIRE I- AKTILLERY__VOLUNTEERS. I THIS battalion, made up of batteries from Egre- moat, New Brighton, Chester, Bangor and Car- narvon, has been under canvas during the week at Aber, near Bangor, now recognised as the permanent camping ground for Lancashire, Cheshire, and Welsh artillery regiments— facilities for a range unsurpassed in any part of North Wales having been afforded by Lord Penrhyn-was on Friday inspected by Colonel Rooke, R.A., commanding the North-western District, who was accompanied by Captain Wark, R.A., the adjutant of the 2nd L.A.V. The inspection parade was called for eleven o'clock, the muster of ail ranks reaching close upon SUO. The inspecting officer, who was received with the customary salute, made a close scrutiny of the line, the battalion being afterwards marched past in open and quarter column. Considering toe nature of the ground the march past was remarkably good, touch and distance being well kept, the New Brighton battery being specially noticeable for the smart- ness and swing with which they went past the saluting base. Major Savage (Bangor), having put the battalion through the manual exercise and a few minor movements executed, the battalion was formed in three sides of a square and addressed by Colonel Rooke, who said he was very much pleased in again having the opportunity of seeing them on parade and also of inspecting their camp. He was very much pleased with what he had seen that morning, and Colonel Brown might well be proud of commanding men of such exceptionally fine physique, well set up. smart in appearance, with accoutrements clean and well put on. They marched very well indeed. One noticeable point was the strong muster on parade, the strength heing 727, which was remarkably good and must be appreciated by the inspecting officer, the colonel III command, and those under him. Another point, very favourable and com- mendable, was tne large number of officers. As was well known, there was often considerable difficulty in filling up vacancies, but as regarded the number of officers they would compare very favourably with any other corps, lie was specially pleased at finding the training colleges of Chester and Btuigor so strongly represented. He liked to see men of that stamp coming forward and taking tin interest, in the volunteer movement; for, a* was well known, their time was fully taken up with other work. He hoped that when they left their colleges to take up scholastic appointments they would continue to manifest the same interest in the volunteers and induce others to do so. lie was very glad to see the way in which they managed their music. It was'well known that the Welsh, so many of whom were in the battalion, were fond of music, and it had given him great pleasure, when in camp ibe previous evening, to hear some excel- lent glee siiigifiv. The musical taste ought to be encouraged in every way, as it not only varied the monotony of camp lite. lout also tended to foster that feeling ot good fellowship which shouidexist. in every brunch of the volunteer force. In c Hiclusiou, lie could only repeat that he was extremely pleased with everything he had seen. The batteiies were then maichec*. back to their lines for dinner. The mussed bands of Chester, Bangor, Carnarvon, &nd New Brighton played at the march past, under the leadership of Bandmaster Handley. The in- specting officer paid them the compliment of remarking that they had done their work in ex. cellent, style, time and tune being perfect. In the afternoon there was heavy gun practice, and although there was a high wind good work was done. The repository competition resulted as follows New Biighton (first prize), 98 points, 24 mins. 45 sees.; Chester (second prize), 91 points, 25mins. 2secs Chester College. Set points, ¡ 25min. 5secs. The umpires were Majors Savage. Rigg, and Captain D'Oyly Watkiu. Colonel Brown and the officers entertained a large party at luncheon, Mr Davies, Bulkelev Hotel, being the caterer. The band of the New Brighton battery play«d during the afternoon. TheoCi- cers on parade were Colonel H. T. Brown (in com- mand), Majors Hugh Savage, J. Rigg, Captain and lion Major C. W. Duncan, Captains Stretton, R.A. (adjutant), Wrigley, Green, D'Oyly Wotkins, Samuels, Stewart, Wood, Mason, Surgeon-Majors E. J. Lioyd, Langford Jones, Lieutenants F. Barber, Harold Jones, L'oyd, Elpbick and Vaughan Lieutenant-surgeon Owen. The health of the camp, which broke up on Saturday, has been remarkably good, only two men being under medical treatment, and these for small ailmerts. The conduct of the men has been exemplary both in and out of camp. As regarded Friday's inspection, the camping cround being limited, Mr T. Roberts kindly placed a field at the disposal of the battalion.
NORTH WALES LUNATIC ASYLUM.¡l
NORTH WALES LUNATIC ASYLUM. ¡l ANNUAL REPORT. THK forty-third annual report (for 1891) of the North Wales Counties Lunatic Asylum has just been published. It is a very interesting and instructive pamphlet of about sixty pages, con- taining a detailed record of good work done during the past year, and merits a careful perusal by medical men. the general public, and boards of guardians of the poor. "On the 31st D8- cember last this institution contained 554 patients. 586 pauper, and 28 private inmates. During the year there were 57 re- coveries, or about 33J per cent, on the total j number of admissions, the deaths during the year being at the low rate of about six per cent. j Financially the Asylum seems to stand well, I the receipts being £ 13,955. and the payments £ 15,316, with a balance in hand, on the 31st March last, of £ 2380. The average weekly cost | of maintenance was 7s 6d par head, the charge for pauper patients from counties or boroughs to which the asylum belongs being 7s 7d per week each, and patients from out-counties 1-1s per week. The expenditure for salaries and wages was £2762, being about 12.1 per cent. on 2 the total receipts, which evinces a due regard. for economy in the management, when the strict requirements of the Lunacy Laws are considered, together with the fact that a double staff ol assistants, one for day and the other for nigh t I duty, has to be provided.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A LLANRHYDDLAD MAN. EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE. i JOHN BOWLANBS, T;, bdch, Llanrhyddlad, was charged at the Vaiiey Petty Sessions, on Monday, befoie Major-General Hughes and other magi- strates, with stealing the sum of £ ",0, belonging to Griffith Griffiths, Glangorsbach, Liunrhyddlad. —Mr T. R. Evans prosecuted, and Mr E. G. Iv'bei'ts appeared for the defence. — Griffith Griffiths, the complainant, gave evidence that he was in the net ot counting sowie money in tlie vicinity of a brickfield, when the defendant r snatched the ten pounds out of his hand, lie then s-sarched for the money ou the poTson of the accused, bur failed to find it. He. however, omitte.l to search one pocket. Prisoner denied I i having the money. lie (witness) visited accused's house on several occasions, with toe result that the accused told him he should have the money refunded him. But at the same time he told him not to say anything about the matter or he would be a dead man.—Cross- examined: Witness thought that the prisoner was only provoking him. On one occasion, since the occurrence, he had tea at accused's house.—Witness, re-calied, said that prisoner told him he knew s!ei),'ht-of-hand, and that he could raise the very devils. As he knew some- thing :ibo .tt sleight-of-hand tricks, lie. commenced counting his money to if it was ailriglit, as he had seen him (prisoner) by sleight-of-hand, get money out of persons' packets, when several yards away from them (laughter),—Witness j gave his evi lence in a very exmsordieary j rammer causing much amnsement in court. P.C. E i ward Pritcliard deposed that on the 6th Julv, he received information from the la -1 witness, which led witness to proceed to Holy- head and obtain a warrant for the arrest of the accused. Witness relict the warrant to accused, with the usual caution. Prisoner said he told Griffith Griffiths that a John Jones, known to both of them, WHS going to take away a cow belonging to his (prisouers) mother. In reply, Griffith Griffith said j he would lead XIO on condition that he would pay him 10 per cent. He brought the money next day, asking him if he would have another £10 at the same rate of interest. He lemarked that he could not understand why he was offering the loan of (money without a note of hand. Prisoner asked if he had better bring the money with him (when apprehended), and witness replied in the affirmative. Prisoner did not resist in any wav when arrested. P.C. Thomas 'Hughes, Bodedern, gave corroborative evidence. Mr B. G. Roberts, for the defence, contended that the evidence was uncorroborated. A great deal of the case rested on whether the evidence of complainant under such circumstances was reliable or not. His (,Mr Roberts's) theory was that Griffith Griffiths lent the money to Row- lands, then regretted having done so, and was at a loss to know how to get. it back. Prisoner gave a^ rational account of how he came to the possession of the money, and had no cock-ana- bull story about sleight-of-hand and such non- sense. Under the circumstances, the magistrates would not be justified in committing accused for I trial.—Prisoner was committed to the assizes, bail being? allowed, himself in £ 100 and two others in £ 50 each.

Application was made in the letter for an encampment, site.—The Clerk had written informing the officer of the regiment of the dimensions of the Recreation Ground, but no reply had since been received to his letter, presumably because the arrangements were incomplete. SANITARY IMPROVEMKXT9. It was agreed that the drain at Black Bridge should be cleaned, and a trap fixed.- On the motion of Captain Lewis, seconded by Mr Thomas Roberts, it was arranged that the drains made by the railway company within a portion of the Board of Trade estate should be sttended to. as it was determined after correspondence Ilnd much dehate that it was the work of the. local board.—The Surveyor pointed out that the scavenging as now carried out was most un- satisfactory, more especially in the matter of ashpits. The refuse from the ashpits is carried out, and deposited on the roads and streets in different parts of the town, and allowed to remain there for days without the knowledge of the workmen of the board. The cart we"t round twice or three times a week to take the ashes and refuse from houses. He (Mr Davies) suggested that for the future the work be done by the men of the board, and that any one wishing to retain the refuse for garden purposes should intimate the same to him.—A long discussion followed as to the in- creased. expense.—Mr Owen Hughes moved that the road committee consider the matter, and report.—Tho motion was seconded by Mr R.

- THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE, BALA.
THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE, BALA. PRINCIPAL'S REPORT. THE F.tJlowicg is a copy of THE Principal's Report for tho past year :— lbs number of students this session has been 18, nine ot whom were admitted on examination by uutsido examiners, the Rev John WiPi.ims, B.A., of Ooijjelley, and tlie Rev W. S..Jones, M.A., of ilachyulleth. The others had been students nf the College previously and attended Lectures iu Theology. One of the student* left, students nf the College previously and attended Lectures iu Theology. One of the student* left, after the first term owing to ill health, by t head vice of tiie medical officer of the College. One of the students is from Anglesey, three are from Arfon, one is from the. Vale of Conway, four are from the Vale or Ciwvd, one is from Liverpool, one I from Upper Montgomeryshire, three are from Lieyn ami Eiiiouydd, one is from London, one from South Cardiganshire, and one from Car- j martbe.ishire. All the students have attended lectures regularly, and done their work to the general satisfaction to the Professors. At the, beginning of the Session the Senate decide! to divide the Sess'or.cd Kxamiuation into three examinations, one to be held at the end of every Term, the Scholarships, &e., to be awarded on the General List m.de by adding the marks gained by every stu lent in the three Term Examinations, in the I Junior and the Senior Classes separately. This lias been doue, with the appended result. But it should be observed that the Lectures on Dog- matics were attended by all the students together. Ali the Examination Papers set at the three Term Examinations will be published in the College Calendar, which the committee have requested the Senate to issue, and which will be ready in a few weeks. The lowest of the three rooms in the tower has been used as a reading-room by members of the College, and the privilege of Using it has been extended to ministers of all denominations ar,d schoolmasters residing in the neighbourhood. The following gentlemen are thanked for donations to the. Library -.—Revs E. Brookes Beekenham, London; Hugh J. flushes, Cefn William Evans, M.A., Mr John Edwards, Man- chtster Hev Li. Cernyw Williams, Professor I). E. Jones, Aberystwyth Revs Hugh Roberts, IV. R. Nicholl, M.A., Ll.D., editor of The Expositor Professor Henry Jones, Revs Josiah Thomas, M.A, Gratrau Guinres#. We are also under special obligation to Mr T. E. Ellis, W.P. for Merionethshire, who exerted himself successfully to obtain for the college 135 v dumes of the Rolls'Series of historical books, published by the Record Office. Some of the volumes are ot great value in special lines of ecclesiastical research. The largest by far and most valuable gift of bohks made to the college during the session consists of the complete library of the late nev Owen Thomas, D. D., Liverpool. A London publisher, after carefully examining this magni- ficent library, pronounced it to be one of the very best private collections he had ever seen. Frequent, I may say constant, reference to it has amply shown the immense benefit it proves to be already to the professors and the students. Dr Thomas's library was presented to the college by Mr William Thomas, Homeleigh, Merton- road, Bootle. The cordial thanks of the college were conveyed at the time to Mr Thomas for his very generous and magnificent gift. The ques- tion of extending the usefulness of such a library by lending the books, or a portion of them, to persons not members of the college was sug- gested by the donor for the consideration of the Senate. At present the librarian is busily engaged in cataloguing the books. When this work is accomplished, the Senate hope to find some method of lending the books without risk of damage or loss. The large room at. the back of the college, usually known as The Chapel," has been fitted with shelves for the housing of Dr Thomas's library and, after consulting all the members of the committee by circular-letter, the library was insured, in accordance with the conditions, laid down by the trustees, to the sum of £1200. As it appeared that the scholarship offered by Mr J. Harrison Jones, of Liverpool, had not been awarded in the previous session, the senate re- solved to examine candidates for the pcholarship in December, 1891. This was done. But as none of the candidates were deemed by the examiners worthy of the scholarship, we decided, after consultation with the donor, to offer the sum of the scholarship (£10) in two prizes of £ 5 each, for two essays, written by persons who are now or will be during the first term of next session students of the college. The following are the subjects of the prize essays:—" 1. How far is the scientific method applicable to theology? 2 The leading ideas of St. Paul's theology." The essays must be sent to the registrar of the college on or before December 23rd, 1892. For lack of a much needed cha.ir of Welsh at the college the senate gratefully accepted in October the kind offer of Professor Williams, to read important Welsh books with a class to be formed at the beginning of the present year. We decided also to offer the J. Harrison Jones scholarship of £ 10 for this year to the first in the class, the award to be made at the end of the session on the combined results of the two term examinations. In the prospectus of the college one heading is "the registration of lodging-houses." It is there stated, "In order that a lodging-house may be admitted oa the register the committee of the college must be satisfied of its sanitary condition." The senate requested Dr Hughes, of Bala and Mr Edward Griffith, of Dol^eliey, to inspect every house before it could be placed on the register of students' lodginp-houses. This was. done in a thorough and efficient manner. In some of the houses certain necessary altera- tions were insisted upon. At present we believe 0.11 the lodging-houses occupied by students of the college are in a satisfactory sanitary condi- tion. Our thanks are undoubtedly due to Dr Hughes and Mr Griffith for their kindness in doing the college an indispensable service, which is sometimes of an invidious and unpleasant diameter. At a meeting of the Senate held November 17th, 1891. I informed the Senate that I received the, sum of £ 20 towards the college library from the trustees of the late Air Thomas Jones, and that I had placed the money in the North and Couth Wales Bank to the credit of the college. Of the grant of £500 placed at our disposal by the college committee to purchase books for the library, the sum of £200 has been spent on this subject. An English service has been regularly held I during the session in the College Chapel on Sun- day evenings. These services had been arranged by Prof. and Mrs Williams for two years past. I As they desired to be relieved of this duty, the Senate reluctantly accepted their resignation, and passed a resolution requesting Mr Llewelyn Edwards, bookseller, and Mr D. E. Jones, draper, Bala, to assist Prof. Edwards and Prof. Williams in making all the arrangements for conducting these services in future, which are, as a rule, very well attended. The thanks of the college are due to the following gentlemen:—To Mr Moss, Berwyn Station, near Llangollen, for presenting to the library nn autograph letter of Dr Owen Pughe und another of the Rev Richard Davies. Holy- well to Mr W. Williams, Dolgelley, for a large chiming clock for the central corridor; to Mr W. Griffiths, Llangollen, for a clock to be placed in one of the class-rooms to .Mr J. R. Jones, Belvidere-road, Liverpool; Mr Thomas Jones, Garston; and the Rev Owen Jones, B.A Liver- pool, for valuable help rendered in the removal of Dr Thomas's library from Liverpool to Bala. Addresses on Homiletics" and kindred sub- jects have been given now and again on Satur- day mornings by gentlemen not on the college staff. These meetings have been most beneficial to the students. I am sure the committee will agree with me in thinking that our cordial thanks should be presented to the following gentlemen for their addressesRevs John Thomas, D.D., Liverpool; J. J. Roberts, Port- mndoc: J. R. Williams, Rhydbach; Josiah Jones, Machynlleth Abel J. Parry, Cefnmawr H. Cernyw Williams, Corwen J. Roberts, Tai- hen J. C. Jones, Mankato, Minn.; J, Williams, Brynsiencyn; H. Barrow Williams, Llandudno Evan Davies, Trefriw; Principal Simon, D.D., Edinburgh; Principal AI. D. Jones, Bala; Robert Evans, Shillong; W. Jenkyn Jones, tiuimper: Idwal Jones, Glynceiriog. It is with the pwfoundest thankfulness that I inform the committee of my friend Dr Evans's arrival in this country and in this town. My gratification is chequered with keen regret at his serious attack of illness. Notwithstanding this, I look forward with eager anticipation to the excellent work which he is so thoroughly able to accomplish, if health and life are spared him, for the advancement of true religion and sound learning in Wales.

Robert Hawley, game dealer, Colwyn Bay, sued the London and North-Western Railway t Company for S9 17s 6d for alleged delay in the delivery of mushrooms and blackberries on three occasions sent from stations in Anglesey for the Bradford markets.—Mr Thornton Jones, Bangor, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Preston for the company.—Mr Thornton Jones contended that the company had unnecessarily delayed the goods, und that in consequence they were comparatively worthless.-The defence was that there had been no unnecessary delay. In any case, the plaintiff had signed an owner's risk-note which stipulates that other causes beyond accident or negligence, amounting to wilful misconduct, must be shown.—A number of witnesses were called to prove that no need- less delay had taken place.—Judgment for the defendant. Mr Preston pressed for costs, but his Honour declined to allow them, as he thought that more expedition might have been displayed in the delivery of the goods. A CLAIM UNDER A WILL. Mr Isaac Evans, Penrbyn Arms, London-road, sued Mrs Ellen Owen, of the same locality, for the sum of £ 2 10s, being a legacy due to him under a will of the defendant's husband. The defendant had paid £ 2 2s into court.—Mr T. R. Evans appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Reece R. Williams on behalf of the defendant. The latter asked for costi, as the money paid into court had not been accepted as satisfaction in time, and he was prepared to proceed with his case that day.—Mr T. R. Evans said that he was much handicapped with his case as he had not seen the will until he came into court.-His Honour refused costs. j A SOLICITOR AND HIS DEBTOR. Mr T. R.

IFROM PORT TO PORT.
I FROM PORT TO PORT. [By MR FBKMRICK BROWN, HOLYHEAD.] III. AFTER returning from our visit to the great idol, we made further preparations for a trip to Tokio or Yeddo (as it is given by some), the capital of the Empire and seat of the Mikado. Having made our way to the railway station we take return tickets for Tokio, and having a few minutes to spare, we look about us and are somewhat struck with the resemblance which .8. the station and its contents bear to those m our own country. But, lJdrk! there's the whistle of the engine and here comes the train rushing into the station with lightning speed and stopping almost instantaneously by the aid of its s'.eam brakes. We secure our seats and are soon being whirled along towards Tokio. What, a beautiful sight presents itself as we dash on through the rich fertilising country. Our view, however, is drawn rather abruptly to a close by our arrival within the Tokio Station. We get out and not having any one place in particular to go, think it more advisable to walk than to ride, as the weather is so enchanting. To give a rough de- scription of Tokio, one might say that it is about I eight or nine miles long and about seven or eight miles wide. To look at from one of the many fire stations which stand higher than the sur- rounding houses, it appears as a vast plain of one and two storey houses, save here and there where some public building has been erected. The whole is cut up by unpaved streets and in- tersected by a Detwork of wide canals. Stretch- ing away in the distance is the Bay of Yeddo, profusely scattered with a quantity of shipping. Looking back ggain towards the centre oL the city we see several large buildings, some of them of modern architecture, whilst others (weary by age) were once the habitation of mighty princes. We here catch a glimpse of the residence of the Mikado, surrounded by high embankments, which are profusely covered with thick clustering trees and well guarded by soldiery. Many of the old palaces here are sur- rounded by high walls of stone, around which run deep moats. In former times these were undoubtedly rendered impregnable, and to read the accounts of the many petty wars which took place round and about Tokio, one would not wonder at the mode of defence and security made by them. To describe a Japanese house, I may say that it consists of a ground floor and one above the front and back of the basement can be removed at pleasure, leaving it quitq open through the premises for air and light, except where the posts supporting the first floor intervene. Usually the front panels only are removed during the daytime, and the back panels, formed of a light, graceful wood framework covered with transculent paper, are left to screen the cooking departments and back premises. The floor of the basement is raised about three feet from the level of the ground, and is neatly boarded and then laid over with a series of stuffed grass mats, on which the inmates walk, sit, feed, end sleep, If it is a shop the arrange- ments are still the same, except that tblt boxes or drawers containing the goods are arranged on the shelves on either side, and the merchants and purchasers in their socks-for all shoes are carefully put off on these mats-sit on the floor to discuss prices and qualities. Tokio is the youngest great city of the Eastern World, and contains upwards of a million inhabitants, who are persevering in their endeavours to adopt European manners and customs. Leaving Tokio far behind, we found ourselves onca more within the town of Yokohama, and having hired a boat were soon on board our ship. We had not been aboard long ere we learnt that we were about to make a move. Our orders were that we were TO proceed to Nagasakir via Kobe and the Inland Seas, one of the most interesting and picturesque passages in the world. It was not many days ere we were biddiug Yokohama good-bye for awhile and were fairly under weigh to Kobe, our next port. This is only two or three days' run, so that the passage was not so dull as it would have been had it been longer. Having arrived at Kobe we dropped anchor, and had no sooner done so than we were infested by crowds of men and women soliciting orders for washing. One of them, to convince me of his great skill and the manner in which he bad performed his work to others, handed me a bundle of testimonials for my perusal. Having looked them through I picked out one which had been given him by a person that had but recently gone home in one of her Majesty's ships, and this ia how it read, My washerman having bothered me times past for a testimonial, I have resolved to give him one which I consider just, as I have sacrificed several new articles of my attire at his hands. He can wash shirts, but;, unfortunately, washes buttons off as well. and does not have the goodness to replace them. The next time I received them they appeared to be worn rather bare. I expostulated with him, but to no avail; so that by the time they had been washed a few times they were unfit for further wear. Notwithstanding all this he has the audacity to ask for a testimonial. So I think by giving him this one it will warn those to whom he may solicit custom in the future." I could not refrain from laughing not only at the testimonial, but at the ignorance of the poor Jap, who was totally unconscious of the wording of it. Having read this I resolved (as I had a good supply of clean clothing by me) to wait until another port was reached. Having escaped the clutches of these, I find myself within those of tailors and shoemakers, and vendors of numerous other articles. The tailors are Chinese, who seem to monopolise the whole tailoring trade of Japan. I badly wiintfd a new serge suit, so I accosted one of the tailors and asked what he woald charge to make a suit. "Suppose yon wantehee No. I suit. I make« you one for two dollar and half." "Too dear," I said, ''c.vn't afford it." 'i Well, two dollar, sail." No," I said, I can get it made cheaper on board." Well now. sah, me speaks ploper one dollah and a half," All right then, take my measure," and our business concluded. As our stay here was to be of a very few davs no one ventured ashore, as we were to have a lengthy stay here later.

The bench granted the licence, but on the understanding that objection would be raised whcr the anuual iceusiug came on.—On the applic ation of Mr J. Evan Jones, solicitor, Conway, the licence of the Dwygyfylcln Hotel, Pemnaeumawr, was trans- ferred from the name of Mrs Jace Evans to that of Mrs Sarah Aim Edwar.-ts.—A transfer of a grocer's licence was also granted to jlr iloiliday, confectioner, Gloddaeth-street.

That was some years ago. The Chairmun said defendant had a had record, and would likely be sent, to prison the next; time.—James Davies, Glanaber, Llanrhos, was Jrunk while in charge of a horse and shandr.;1, Superintendent Wil- liams proved the case. The defendant, who said he was sorry, was fined 10s and costs, this being his lirst offence. SCHOOL BOARTO CAS^S.—William Roberts, Morris Jones, and William Davies, i'ioewen, were charged at the instance of Owen Jones, atten- dance officer, with neglecting to send their children to school.—Mrs Roberts maintained tbat her daughter was over 13 years of age, and the case was adjourned to obtain a certificate.— In the case of Davies there was a tine of 5s. No DOG LICENCES.—Richard Robert, Angorfa, Penmaeumawr, was charged with keeping a dog, minus a licence—Mr H. Esther, supervisor prosecutor, and said the pulice found that the defendant had a dogr and no licence. He made the excuse that he gave the dog to Miss Ridgway in December, but that the animal came home in January. The officer found it in the possession of the defendant at the end of April, and had not taken out a licence yet.-P.C. Rowland (56) gave evidence in support of this. The* defen- dant was fined 10s and costs.—John Jamblin, photographer, was simihirly charged, and admitted the case, but it was stated tuThad since taken out a licence.—A fine of 5s aud costs was imposed. ALLEGED GARDEN THEFT.—Nathaniel Wil- liams, gardener, was charged witu stenling four cauliflowers and some peas, valued fit Is 9d, the property of his employer, Edmund Jones, Pen- Inaenmawr.- Supt. H. D. Williams prosecuted on behalf of the police, and Mr R. Beihs defended. —Supt. Williams said that Edward Williams complained of things being taken from his garden, and on Saturday, July 2nd, the police saw the defendant, who was in the emoloy of Edmund Jones, taking cauliflowers and peas away. He was taken to Jones, who sa'd he had given no authority to the defendant to take the articles.—Edmund Jones was called end said that on July 2nd he was called from the garden to the shop wnere there were two policemen and the defendant. He was asked whether the defendant had aright to take away the cauliflowers and the peas, and be said no. The defendant had been in his employ about five weeks. Witness did not ailow any stranger to take away vegetables with out per- mission. Some of the old htlnds might do so, and he allowed them to pay out of their wages at the end of the week..None of the gardeners, of which he had six, had authority to take away vegetables without his or his foreman's cogniz- ance. The witness said he had not paid the defendant's wages that week, as he had not called. The witness said he did not prosecute nor press the charge for it.—Thomas Rowlands, the foreman, said the defendant had on the morning of the day in question asked for cauli- flowers and peas, and he directed him to the shop of the employer, as the best had been taken away. The men took away vegetables with the knowledge of the employer, and paid for them at the end of the week. He blamed the defend- ant for taking the things without telling the employer.—Evidence was given by the other gardeners, and by P.C. Edwards (42), who said he saw the defendant going in a burry to the railway station with a basket.

He said he had permission to take the vegetables, and said he had not p:¡id for them as he was in a b l1rry.- M'r Bellis said no doubt the defendant had made a mistake, but there was no felonious intent, it was done ouenly.— The case was dismissed.
