RETURNED SOLDIER'S ADVENTURES. CHARGE AGAINST A SEAMAN. At the Holyhead Police Court, on Tuesday, John McCarthy, a seaman, recently discharged from the s.s. "Templemore," was brought up ån custody carged with stealing the sum of P,5 6s from the pocket, of William McCurran, a private in the Royal Engineers, who had only iust ar- rived in this country from South Africa. McCur- ran travelled in the L. and N.-W. Railway ex- press from London to Crewe, and went to sleep. There were several others in the same compart- ment, including the defendant, and four or five ma.tes from the same vessel, as well as an army pay sergeant, named John Boose, who was on his way to join his regiment stationed in Ireland. While the express was going at full speed1 be- tween Euston and Crewe, Roose noticed the de- fendant placing his hand in the soldier's left hand trouser's pocket, and when he withdrew it, be placed it in h8 own pockets, and he heard the jingling of coins. Shortly afterwards, the soldier awoke, and on countancr his money, found that he onl- had a few coppers. He told the sergeant what had happened, and the ser- jgeant pointed out the defendant to him. The defendant was then asleep, but on the arrival of the traan at Holyheadi, hie was placed in cus- tody. and he made a statement. The sum of j34 lO was found upon him in gold and silver. The sergeant was asked why he had not pre- vented the robbery when he saw the man's -pocket being rifled, and he replied "Well. you see, sir, defendant had four or five big burly maJtes with him, and they were looking. I'm only a diminutive man, though I am a sergeant in the Armv (laughter)."—Accused was remanded for a week.

The higher peaks of the Snowdon range of mountains were again covered with fresh snow on Tuesday morning, and the temperature along the North' Wales coast has been very variable I with some rain. I

HOLYHEAD COUNTY SCHOOL OPENING CEREMONY. The opening of the Holyhead Intermediate School took place on Tuesday afternoon. The attendance of governors and 11he general public was fairly large and representative. Mr E. H. Williams, clerk, and the teaching staff were also present. Mr W. D. Jones, J.P.. moved, that in the unavoidable. absence of the chairman and the vice-chairman, true Rev John Hughes, C.C., should occupy the chair, and the reverend gen- tleman consented to act in this capacity. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said that he deplored the unavoidable absence of the chairman, who had been called o business to London. He felt certain that the fact of his not being present was not only regretted by those assembled together, but by Mr J. LI. Griffith himself, to whom was due in a large measure the success of the movement locally. Mr 'Griffith had from the first evinced a deep interest in the scheme, anft contributed hand- somely towards the buiMing fund. He was certain that everyone present, who knew the historv of the movement. £ ould agree with him that the establishment of the school was due to the untiring efforts and support of the chairman. The vice-chairman had also been associated with the movement from the first, and his inability to be present on that occasion was the more to be regretted. It was true that the movement was a long time in coming to a successful issue. The difficulties in the way were very great, but they had gradually been overcome. Active op- position had to be'encountered on the one hand, and apathy on the part of the inhabitants oTt the at-her. The Charitv Commissioners had de- clined to allow them to open in temporary pre- mises until thev had secured ia, site. This they had now succeeded in doinsr. The site was an excellent one. and the burkHn. when erected, would do credit to 'the neighbourhood and to in- termediate education. Great difficulty had been experienced in obtaining temporary premises, but this had been overcome at last. As a committee. they were greatly indebted to the Hyfrydle church for putting their premises at a nominal rental at their disposal in order to facilitate in- termediate education in the town. The pre- mises for the girls' department, were most suit- able in everv respect. They were fortunate m getting the Central Buildings for the bovs, and these premises would compare favourably with a.DiY other temporary accommodation in North Wales. Personally, he did not expect to have a large number of scholars at first, but later, the numbers would materially increase. The school was fortunate in obtaining the services of such a capable man as Mr R. P. Jones as headmaster, and with the excellent teaching staff, they would raise the tone of the school until it would take a foremast position for efficiency and high-das teaching. He was pleased to notice that the rural distracts were so well represented in the scholars. The district covered 22 parishes with a population of 17.000. He trusted that the school would do much good, and that Holyhead would support it most cordially. The establish- ment of the school was a. new departure in the history of the town, and he hoped that advantage would be taken of it to Improve their children. Mr W. D. Jones, J.P., next addressed the gathering, directing his remarks mainly to the •scholars. He deplored the fact that he "had not received the advantages of an intermediate edu- cation, and urged the children to improve them- selves, and take .advantage of the opportunities they enjoved to make their mark in the world. They had' teaclhersi r>f ability and, erudition, and if they failed to profit bv their instruction, the fault would bf'l entirely their own. Mr Thomas Williams, chairman of the school board, and kt member of the local governing body, addressed the assembly on the advantages of education, and warmly urged upon the schol- ars to take '"Excelsior" as their motto. Miss Annie Roberts, also a member of the local governing body, in the course of an address, ad- vised the scholars to do their best to bring credit to the school. She trusted that the schol- airs would retain their individuality. The schol- ars possessed different talents and minds, and unless they developed themselves as individuals, not much good would be accomplished. She hoped thev would raise the moral tone of the neighbourhood, and be persons of character. It was her desire to see them do justice to the teaching imparted to them, bring credit to the •locality, and the Welsh nation, and the Empire to which they had the ihonour to belong. Mr Joseph Hall addressed the assembly on behaJf of his wife. one of the governors, and said he had taken an interes,t in the movement from the first, having been vice-chairman of the building committee for some years. Elementary education was a,s good at Holyhead as in any cither part of North Wales, but the, children were at a great disadvantage in the race of life for the want of an intermediate school. Boys from Holyhead were as bright and intelligent as anywhere else, but it was complained that young people going awajr from the town were not equal to other youths on account of the fact that they had no intermediate school exist- ing in their midst. He was glad that this school was now opened, and that it was within the reach of even the poor to take advantage of. He warmly congratulated the town on the fact that it was putting itself in line with other parts of North Wales and the British Empire. Mr R. P. Jones, M.A.. headmaster of the school, in addressing the meeting, aid that he was pleased to find that the local governing bodv and the public were so well represented on this occasion, and was gratified to hear the encourag- ing remarks of the speakers. He trusted the scholars would' be regular in their attendance. Complaints were made of the irregularity of the attendance of children at the day schools, and he was sofrv to hear it. Regijla-rity of attend- ance was all important, 'and led to success.

I BANGOR PETTIT SESSIONS. TUESDAY.-Before Whom,s Lewis, Esq., J. E. Roberts, Esq., Heo. Lewis, Esq., Thomas Roberts, Esq., R. Hugfies, Esq., W. G. Roberts, Esq., Dr LangforcL Jones, and W. Lester Smith, Esq. TRANSFER. The license of the Menai Bridge Vaults was transferred to Mr F. Warner. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—John Jones, Caellwyngrydd, Bethesd-a, was summoned for being drunk and assaulting the police. P.C. Thomas (13) said that he saw the man going to the Douglas Arms in a. drunken state. He was refused drink, and when the witness sent him out the defendant kicked him violently, and the assistance of two civilians had to be obtained to take the man into custody.—Defendant was fined 5s and costs for drunkenness, and 10s and costs for assaulting the police. A VIOLENT MILITIAMAN.—Daniel Swift, an Anglesey Militiaman, was summoned for being drunk and disorderly and assaulting the police.—Sergeant Pugh deposed that on Satur- day night, the defendant and another man were fighting,and when witness interferred, he stamped his feet on the sergeant's toes. He was pushed away two or three times and given a chance to go away, but he became violent and had to be carried to the police station. A large crowd con- gregated and began hooting.-P.C. Evans (60) corroborated, and said' the defendant was kick- ing the sergeant.—Dr Richard Jones stated that he came to the police station at midnight and found the man drunk. He said he had not been ill-used.—Defendant said that he met some com- panions and had some drink, and he had not been used to it.—The police said the hailed from St. Helens, and there were 36 convictions against him for vagrancy and felony.—He was fined 5s and costs for being drunk and disorderly, and JB1 and costs for assaulting the police, or a month's imprisonment. A WARNING TO MILK VENDORS.— William Thomas, Niwbwrch, was summoned for selling milk which was alleged to be adulterated. -Mr S. R. Dew prosecuted, and Mr W. Thorn- ton Jones defended.—David' Griffith, the inspec- tor of weights and measures, gave evidence to the effect that on the 26th of March last he purchased a quantity of milk from Morris Thomas, the defendant's son, who told him some of the milk had been purchased at a farm near Minffordd, but that he had not a written warranty. The first sample contained 33 per cent. of added water and the second sample 22 per cent, of added water and deprived of 18 per cent, of cream.— Cross-examined He had every reason to believe that the milk was sold by William Thomas as pure.-Mr Thornton Jones said that he did not think it was a case which called for punishment. Defendiant had supplied Bangor for many years, and had acquired a reputation for selling good milk, and the demand was so great sometimes that he had to buy from others. It was abund- antly clear that there was a vast difference in the quality of the two samples, one of which was unmixed and bought frqm a neighbour, the other [ being that neighbour's milk mixed with defen- dant's.—William Jones, a cowman in the de- fendant's employ, gave evidence, and Mr Dew said the prosecution did not wish to press the case, and adrfnitted all the facts as opened by Mr Thornton Jones. The only question was that the defendant had neglected to get a warranty. -In the next case, William Price, Ty'nlon, was charged upon. four informations, with adultering milk and also depriving milk of cr. -Mr S. R. Dew prosecuted, and Mr Pentir Williams defended.—Mr Dew informed the Bench that the defendant in the previous case purchased his milk from the present defendant. One of these samples Contained 51 per cent, of added water and was deprived of 32 per cent, of cream, and another contained 32 per cent. of added water and 21 per cent. of cream had been abstracted. The inspector went to the place where Price's milk was delivered to Morris Thomas. There they were met by the defen- dant's sister-in-law, who brought tne two cans, a gallon measure, and a strainer. The milk ap- peared somewhat dirty, and from the appear- ance of the strainer it would seem that the milk had been brought straight from the cow and had not been strained.—David Griffith, the inspector of weights and measures, gave evidence in sup- port of the statement, and Morris Thomas also gave evidence.—Mr Pentir Williams said that the defendant had been lately feeding his cows with "mangolds and swedes, and milk obtained, from cows thus fed would be very deficient in quality and very poor. The defendant was not aware that there had been *ny tampering with the milk, and he had never been previously ac- cused, but there was no getting over the analysis and the defendant had been advised to throw himself upon the mercy of the court., for tech- nically he was responsible for the acts of his servants and agents.—The Bench considered the case to be a very painful one. Mr Thomas ) ought to have been more careful and ought to have observed that the milk was deficient in cream and that water had been added. They considered that his own milk was pure, but the majority of the Bench thought he should be let off by paying the costs. In the case of William Price, the Bench thought it to be very serious, because more than half the milk sold as pure was water, and it was very bad for young babies. He would be fined heavily, for the Bench was bound to protect, the public. He would be mulcted in B2 10s and costs in each case, making a total of £10. a total of £ 10. SENT TO THE CELLS.—Hugh Jones, pig dealer, Bethesda, was charged by the L. and N.-W. Railway Company with travelling between Bangor and Bethesda without paying his fare.— Mr J. Fenna prosecuted, and Mr Twigge Ellis defended. Evidence was given by Owen Samuel Bowen, porter at Bethesda, to the effect that on the 7th of March, the defendant came with the 7.25 p.m. train and handed a ticket from Bethesda to Bangor. Witness called his atten- tion to the ticket and said he had already I travelled with the ticket to Bangor, but the de- fendant pushed his way out.—Mr Twigge Ellis withdrew from the case because the defendant I would not accept his advice.—Further evidence was given, and the defendant, who appeared to be somewhat intoxicated, was ordered by the magistrates to be removed to the cells until he I got sober. They also informed Mr Fenna that they had1 decided to convict. ILLEGAL FISHING.—Three lads, named Robert Parry (ased 17), Willie Jones (14), and Gipffitb John Thomas (13) were charged1 with ) illegal fishing.—Mr Vincent was instructed to prosecute on behalf of Lord Penrhyn, and Mr Ellis Davies, of the firm of Messrs R. O. Roberts and Davies, Carnarvon, defended.—Mr Vincent expla,ined that on the 24th of April, the defen- dants attempted to take fish from the river Caseg otherwise than by angling, in the day time. They were seen on the day in question fishing in a legitimate way, but as they failed! to get any fish with the rod, they dammed up the stream and in this way dried up a certain portion of the stream leaving little holes here and there. They tucked up their trousers and went in attempting to take fish with their hands. The keepers came up and Parrygave the name of Alfred Nicholas Hughes and a fictitious address. William Jones said hie was Josiah Williams, and Griffith John Thomas gave the name of Oliver. One of the keepers, however, knew that his name was not Oliver, and the lad! afterwards gave his proper name and address. The river ran down the mountain above Beth- esda and' was Lord Penrhyn's private property, but his lordship threw it open to the public, preserving and maintaining it entirely at his own expense, so that true sportsmen might enjoy the best sport. It was, therefore, not fair that these young lads should, repay Lord Penrhyn's generosity y abusing the privilege in this way and thus spoil the sport of legitimate sportsmen. He did not wish to press the case against the younger boys, but desired that the practice should be stopped. It was not illegal to give wrong names and addresses, but that court generally considered it a serious aggravation of the offence. The keepers having given evidence, Mr Davies addressed the Bench for the defence. He said the lad's pleaded guilty, but they did; not destroy any fish. They had been unsuccessful in their angling, and after going up the moun- tain, they did' not like to return home with an [ empty basket, so they dammed up the river as I already described. That was, undoutedly, an j offence. The fathers of the younger lads were at work from home, and he asked the Bench I to be lenient, for the penalty would really fall j upon the parents. They were all well-connected j upon the parents. They were all well-connected i and respectable, and up to this had borne irre- proachable characters. He contended further I that Mr Vincent had no right to mention the fact that the lads had given wrong names, for that of itself was 4o offence.—The Bench fined I Parry 2s 6d and costs, and dismissed the cases against the other lads on payment of costs. A ROW AT LLANFAIRFECHAN.—Tho- mas Jones, a labourer in the employ of Mr Robert Hughes, Llanfairfechan, summoned David Lloyd, Roberts for assaulting him.—Mr S. R. Dew prosecuted, and Mr Thornton Jones defended.—Evidence was given to the effect that on the 24th of April, the prosecutor was stand- ¡ ing c'ose to the Llanfair Arms, and called Tho- mas Jones to the middle of the road. As soon as he went, defendant struck Jones in the face several times and he fell. Jones was bleeding and there were marks upon him. The defen- dant had a crowd of friends around him and they shouted "Kill him." Prosecutor had not said anything before he was struck. The result of the row was that the two men had a fight.-The defence was that there had been a long-standing 11 r, feud between these men and they had a fight. Mr Thornton Jones held that the man having j. taken the law in his own hands and got the worst of it could not very well come to court to complain. Thomas 'Jones had often provoked the defendant until he could no longer keep fcbe I peace.—The defendant was fined 5s and costs.

CRUELTY TO MOUNTAIN I PONIES. WELSH FARMERS FINED. I At the Abergele Police Court, on Saturday, Richard Jones, farmer, Hwylfa, Rhyd, Llanfair- talhaiarn, and Evan Evans, farmer, Bwlch- gwynt Fawr, were summoned; for unlawfully "causing to be ill-treated certain animals—to wit horses—by withholding from them proper and sufficient food and attention." Mr Joseph Lloyd (Rhyl) prosecuted on behalf of the R.S.P.C.A., and Mr Griffiths, Denbigh, de- fended. In stating the case Mr Lloyd said that the animals were Welsh mountain ponies, and the system adopted by many Welsh farmers had in these cases culminated in the animals' death. The practice was for owners of ponies to con- tract with the occupiers of mountain land to graze the ponies at so much per head, and the little animals were turned out on the mountains. In the winter months there was absolutely no shelter for them, and frequently the ground was covered with snow. The more hardy of the animals lived, but in a great many instances I they died of starvation and exposure. The evi- ¡ dence was then gone into. It appeared that the defendants had contracted with a Denbighshire occupier of mountain land, Richard Parry, fanner, Waen Coed Coch, for the use of moun- tain pasturage, at 13s per head for the five months from December to April, and the animals, thirty in number, were turned out on a mountain I farm, named Bryndwdan, some distance from Parry's farm. The agreement was a verbal one, Parry's farm. The agreement was a verbal one, but Richard Parry said he was not responsible for the safety of the animals, nor was he bound to provide shelter or food in rough weather, even though the animals died, the agreement being that the owners of the ponies should give all extra food necessary and also to attend to the animals. In February, after a spell of bad weather, he found one of the animals dead, and others in a very bad way, and out of charity gave them a little hay. He also wrote to both defendants, but they did not come. and the re- sult was that a second animal died.—Inspector Toyne, R.S.P.C.A., gave evidence of finding the animals in a very bad and starved condition. He had seen and examined the animals that had died, and! they had, without doubt, succumbed to starvation and exposure, and were mere bags of bones.—The defence was that the owner of the mountain land on which the ponies were pastured was responsible for their condition.— The Bench, however, overruled this contention and fined the defendants 10s each and £ 1 19s 3d and £ 2 4s 3d costs respectively, adding that it would simplify matters and1 prevent abuses of this kind to a large extent if agreements of the I r nature of the one in question were put into writ- ing. This would fix the responsibility, and the magistrates could then be sure of punishing the really giilty parties and so stop the abuse.

CARNARVON COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS. SATURDAY. -Before J. Menzies, Esq., D. P. Williams, Esq., Robert Roberts, Esq. and Dr H. Jones Roberts. LICENSING.—On the application of Mr H. I Lloyd Carter the license of Bryngwna Inn was I transferred to Alford Jones, on the understand- rino: that this should not be taken into considera- tion in the licensing court. DRUNKENNESS. William William, of Ty'nywinlian, Llanrug, was fined 2s 6d for being drunk. ,— I UNJUST SCALES. Robert Angel, Moun- tain-street, was charged by H. Vaughan Davies with using an unjust scales at Penygroes, on the- 19th of April.—A fine of 10s and costs was im- posed, STRAYING.—For allowing their ponies to stray, Griffith G. Owen, Tynewydd, Carmel; W. D. Jones, Brynderwen, Rhostryfan; Hugh Owen Jones, Penybwlch, Cam-el; and J. Lloyd, Bryn- I twrog, Carmel, were ordered to pay the costs. ALLEGED CRUELTY.—Edward Pierce and Robert Evans, Oaredd, and Hugh Jones, Gar- neddwen. Waenfawr, were charged with working a lame horse.—The case against Evans was dis- I missed, but the other defendants were ordered to pay the costs. TRESPASSING.—John Pritchard, Baptist- street; J. Pritchard, Well-street; Evan Griffith. Little Chapel-street; and Robert Parry, James's- court, were charged with trespassing on land be- longing to Mr Lloyd Hughes. Coedhelen, with the intention of poaching.—Mr H. Lloyd Car- ter prosecuted, and Mr Allanson defended. Parry was ordered! to pay the costs, and the other defendants were each fined 5s and costs. OUT OF SEASON.—James Roberts, of Tan- ygraig, Cwmyglo, and Richard Hughes, Snow- don-street, Penygroes, were charged with being in possession of salmons out' of season.—They were ordered to pay costs. DOG CHURNING.—The Chairman gave the decision of the Bench in the case in which Owen Jones. Cae Garw. Rhostryfan. was charged with cruelty to a. dog by utilising it to turn a churn- ing machine. The magistrates, as it will be remembered, had decided to visit the farm to see the dog at work. Mr Menzies and Mr D. P. Williams had gone there, and had seen the dog at work. They believed the defendant had no intentoon of inflicting any cruelty on the dog. but if the defendant was to continue working the machinery by that means, they thought that he could only be .allowed to do so provided that the dog was kept in a good physical condition, and that the use of the chain was discontinued. The case would be dismissed on this condition. The. defendant could place a guard instead of a chain to keep the dog from running away from his work, leaving him, therefore, to tread at the higher level, from which the work could be per- formed at a much less expenditure of strength, and: without the hardship resulting from the present system of chaining. Taking into con- sideration all the circumstances, it being the first prosecution of the kind in that division, the Bench were of opinion that the ends of jus- tice would be met in the case by dismissing the summons, with a caution as regarded the chain- ing of the dog.—Mr H. LIDyd Carter prosecuted, on beEalf of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and Mr Richard. Roberts defended.
