The com- mittee h id not lost sight of a labour home, but no sraifcabte premises had been found. The Church Army Home at Liverpool' (had been able to provide for the few cases sent there during the year. It was hoped tihart the desirabilitv of an Inebriates' Home might have the iffarLy consideration of the County Councils of North Wales. The committee also desired to thank the clergymen and ministers who had so kindly co-operated wiith them in the work of the Society, and also certain employers of labour. There was a balance of JB23 13s 8d in the bank. bat the fundi? were provided by the few. a. fact whcch indutced the committee to appeal for mors generous support from the public generally. The President, in moving the adorrtiicn of the report, said that t?ie Society had continued its. po<)d work most tentatiously. and with a certa n amount of energy and a considerable in- crease of success. He regretted', however, the seajrt support it received from the inhabitants of the county, whic'h accounted for the hto-ldilng of the annual mee-tartg in the prison, and not in a public room in tlie f>wn. There were. un- fortunately, no subscriptions received from Mer- lanjefthah^re nor Denbighshire, .tihoawh prisoners from both ooumties were sent to Carnarvon, and had beei> assisted the Societv.

ATTACK UPON WELSH 11 NATIONALITY. LIVELY SCENE AT FBSTINIOG. On Tuesday nigiht, Mr Evan R. Da,vies, the I town clerk of Pwllheli, gave a lecture 001 "Tho- mas Davies, the Irish poet patriot, to the Fes- I tiniog Literary Society. ?1r R. Bowton, the president, oiccupied the chaIr. Following the vote of thanks, proposed by the Rev John Owen. and seconded by Mr F. P. Dodd. the Chairman made remarks deprecating the patriotic spirit, and asserting that the time had come when absurd distinctions between people in various parts of Wales Should be en- tirely removed. He had no respect for the. two- penny nationality that was preached nowadays. It made him think of Dt Johnson's saying that "Patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel." Though he said it in no boastful spirit, he thought he could claim as an Englishman to have done more for Welshmen than Welshmen had done for him. Mr Evan R. Davies, in ackniowledging the vote of thanks, said he felt certain that, whiat- ever positions the chairman had been. able to secure for Welshmen, they couild never have held tbose postions had their mdnds not been aroused and their abilities developed unifier the influence of the national spirit. The Chairman (intervening) said he was sorry that controversial matter 'had been introduced. Whereupon the lecturer retorted that tihe chair- man could hardly expect his remarks to go un- challenged. The Chairman suggested that the lecturer had started the attack; but the latter asserted that all he Had done was to lay before the meeting a statement of the general principles upon which a historical character had advocated the claims of a SiifrterOOlrlitry. After ,a further exchange of remarks, the chairman vacated the Chair and left the room, after which the lecturer expressed his sorrow that such a scene ^tvou'ld' have taken place, but he thought he Would have been lacking in his duty if he had (failed to controvert the --6hair- man's remarks, which, he submitted, were a. direct- attack upon Welsh nationa/Lity.

ANGLESEY CASTLE THEATRICALS. CLOSE OF THE PANTOMIME. On Saturday night, the Gaiety Theatre, An- glesey Castle, was w&: filled with a select aud- ience to witness the last performance of Mr Alex. Keith's pantomime, "Little Red Riding I Hood," the "state box" being occupied by Mr j Assheton-Smith and party from. Vaynol. The night was what is called a "souvenir night," the souvenir presented to each person on this oc- casion being a superb lithographed likeness of casion being a superb lithographed likeness of Lord Anglesey suitable for framing, which Was evidently keenly appreciated by the recipients. When his lordship appeared in the course of the play as Boy Blue, to.sing "Sweet Seventeen." be was greeted with a roar of applause which prevented him commencing to sing for some minutes, and at the conclusion of the song, he was thrice re-called, and was presented with a ibeautrfufl bouquet. Later on, after a duet sung j with Miss Kent (Little Red Riding Hood), hits lordship was again encored, and became the re- j cipient-of a. second bouquet, a simita-r compliment being shortly after paid to Miss M. Hope for her charming rendering of her song. "The Nightingale." His lordship was warmly ap plauded for his effort in "The Electric Dance." ■and the superb costume he wore, which, rich in itself, was made resplendent, by a series of electric lamps ingeniously fastened all over it, I tihe marJ'.puilation of the lights being most effec- tive. Again, on singing "Tlie Ala Girl," the. Marquis was four times encored, and had to I oarry away with him a third bouquet. Tlie splendid palace scene, wherein Lord Anglesey appeared in a costume of indescribable mugni- licence, wias the occasion of a prolonged demon- straitikwi of approbation, and advantage was taken of the tem^>rr- spaciousness of the stage to present his lordship with a beautiful little silver timepiece, an expression of the apprecia- tion iof the entertainments freely provildied by his TordisHip, from a few of the Bangor tradesmen. The gift was accompanied wiith a cordial wish for his lordship's long life and happiness. Following this, on belhalf of the household servants, M. N. de Tchitdhagotf presented his lordship with a handsome writing set. On his own ibeliialf. M. de Tchitohagoff next offered1 for I his lordship's acceptance a silver jewel case, and on behalf of Miadame Coquelin, who is at pre- sent in France, M. de Tchitchagoff handed hb lordship an exquisite bouquet of flowers. His lordstiip fittingly and happily acknowledged the various presentations, and expressed his satis- faction at the pleasure the entertainments afforded his audiences. He hoped to make his re-appearance on the stage in the second week in Mia.rdh, after a short vacation (applause). Coming on the stage to sing the song "When I'm on the stage dancing," Lord Anglesey was the recipient 'of another prolonged demonstra- tion of applause. The grand final transforma- tion -scene, resplendent as it has been throughout the season. Was on Saturday night more ,gor- geous tban ever, but even its glory paled1 before the magnificence of the Marquis's wonderful cost-ume. "Little Red Riding Hoed" is to be fol- lowed after an interval of a fortnight by a triple bill, which will include "Box and Cox," "The Other Danger," a drama written and ad- | Opted, by the Marquis of Anglesey, and one of < his lordship's famous dances. It is said that during his recent visit to Paris, Lord Anglesey obtained a score or so of speci- ally designed costumes of extraordinary splen- dooir, costing in the aggregate about £500. and ) these he has worn in turn during the run of the pantomime.

A. Jones said that he recommended an amendment of the clause. After the words "from time to time" he suggested the insertion of words "annually from their own body, to elect three Trustees, etc., such Trustees to be Trustees for twelve months.^—Mr Jones explained that there was no objection to the amendment suggested by him. and on the motion of Mr Richard Thomas, seconded by Mr Wawn. tha same was agreed to by the Trustees, —In reply to a question. Mr C. A. Jones said there was nothing new to report concerning the Provisional Order. A VACANCY.—Mr J. Davies (Gwyneddon) said that at the last meeting, a notice had been given by a member who was absent that day < 1 to the effect that he would move that- the < •Mayor be elected a permanent member of tlie Trust. He (Mr Davies) begged to Eenew the notice.—Mr F. Turner seconded, and Mr J., Prxrhard. who rose simultaneously, observed that he was going to do the same thing.—Mr Harry Clegg asked whether it was desirable to elect members before they knew what would become of the Provisional Order. He was not objecting to any election, but wished to refer to the general question.—The Chairman said he thought it would be better to proceed in the present case, and with regard to the future to have a special committee to consider the matter. —The members concurred, though no vote was taken. THE RECENT GALE.—The Surveyor, in his report, stated that one of the buoys had been removed by the recent gale. He considered it a wonder that all of the buoys had not been swept away.

THE PENRHYN STRIFE. THE WEEKLY MASS MEETING. The usual weekly mass meeting was held on Saturday night, at the Cefnfaes School, Mr Henry Jones presiding. Mr W. H. Williams stated that he was glad to see so many coming to the usual weekly mass meeting, whilst they perhaps knew that there was nothing new to say. They were asking continually what were their prospects with regard to the fatura. Nobody could say clearly what was awaiting them, but they could hope for the best if they would fight a good fight now. They shoeld fight for the welfere of their fel- lows and not for any personal advantage. If they would remember this their efforts would be more successfnl. They were far from being per- fect, but at the same time, he believed they could be compared with any other class of work- men. That however, was not an excuse for not doing all in their power to perfect themselves. In this struggle they greatly depended on sup- port from ontside, and fortunately they got assistance. Why were they extended so much assistance ? The reason was, he thought, not because they said that they bad a good cause, and thaftjustice was on their side, but because of some power from behind that proved that their cause was just (applause). What they were fight- ingfor would sooner or later rise into sight. Let them all do their duty—let them be unselfish They ought not to be hopeless of Parliament, but if they were to lose there, let them not lose themselves (applause). Mr Benjamin Williams, Gerlan, also delivered a short address. MORE HELP FROM CARNARVON. In response to his appeal, Mr Peter Angel, the secretary of the Carnarvon Branch of the Typo- graphical Association, is enabled to remit a further (third) sum of JE10 in aid of the Bethesda quarrymen.

MENAI BRIDGE COUNTY COURT. TUESDAY.—Before his Honour Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd. A WILL APPLICATION. — Mr Trevor Roberts, Carnarvon, applied for the nomination of trustees in the matter of the wm of Robert Roberts, late of Hendn, Newborough. After bequeathing the sum of JE200 to the children of his son and JE250 to the children of his daughter, the testator nominated as trustees of the above named, Captain Hugh Roberts and Mr Owen Jeffrys Jones. Inasmuch as these trustees had no duties to perform, and no property was invested, the executor of the will paid the money into Court, and it had stood in the name of the Registrar. The eldest children having come of age, it was desired to obtain the appointment of trustee, so that they could not only obtain higher interest, but also pay the money to the children as they came of age without incurring heavy costs and Court fees.—Canon Roberts, Colwyn Bay, was the father of one set of children, and William Thomas (elder), Ty'ny- bnarth, Llangaffo, of the other set.—The appli- cation was that the parents should be appointed trustees, and this was granted.

The plaintiff had never spoken about being short of food.— The Judge: I think she should have grumbled, because it must have been disagreeable to be hnngry.—The plaintiff's mother gave evidence to the effect that her daughter had complained that she was hungry whilst in the employ of the defendant.—W. H. Murphy stated that the girl had never complained that she did not have enough to eat. He himself told her to help her- self to anything going on The diet might not be equal to that of a big hotel, but it was what they partook of themselves. The girl had her meals with the family, and ate what was going on "—The Judge: But she says that the things would not go round,—The Defendant: Her cheeks did. She developed (laaghter).—The Judge: She says that when she went there the cupboard was bare. I don't think that you would keep a house on such starvation princi- ples. You would not have kept such a house for your own children's sake.—Addressing the girl, the Judge observed:—"I am afraid you are lazy. Fortunately, the starvation has done you no harm as far as appearances go. I will allow you to withdraw the summons so as to save the costs." A TRAVELLER'S ELOQUENCE.—Messrs Bayne and Dargie, clothiers, Bangor, sued W. H. Murphy. Menai Bridge, for £7 19a, clothing supplied.—The defendant informed the Judge that the goods had been pressed upon him by the eloquence of the plaintiffs' traveller.

R. new represented the defendants.—In opening, Mr Lloyd Griffith explained that on November 5th the plaintiff called at the Rail. way Inn, Llanfair P.G., with regard to some work, being detained there for half an hour. As he was preparing to go home, a coachman nimed Welstead asked for a lift. plaintiff ac- quescing, and they both, along with the plain- tiff's servant, drove in the direction of Bangor. It was a dark night, and lamps were lit. They noticed a trap coming in the opposite direction, and as soon as it got abreast of them, the horse swerved across the road and collided with them. The plaintiff was thrown out, and much damage was done to his trap. After the accident, the plaintiff returned to the Railway Inn, and assistance was procured, a local chemist advising his removal to Bangor to be medically treated. The plaintiff was completely incapacitated for three weeks, and was medically treated for five weeks, his knee being still damaged; and he would be more or less lame for the remainder of his life.

[ GWYRFAI DISTRICT COUNCIL. THE SMALL-POX CASES. I SATURDAY.—Mr W. Owen, presiding, iSMALL-POX AT THE HOSPITAL.—It was reported that a tramping tailor, suffering from small-pox, was admitted into the Gwyrfai Hos- pital on the 3rd of February. He only arrived in the district eleven days before he was taken ill, and it was clear that the infection was con- tracted elsewhere. He had tramped from Merthyr, in South Wales, through Montgomery- shire and Merionethshire, to Carnarvonshire, and at Clynnog, in the Gwyrfai district, he was notified to be suffering from a rather serious type of smallLpox. He was removed with all haste to the hospital, a distance of twelve miles, and was now stated to be making satisfactory progress. Dsr Eraser, medical officer of health, reported that four sma-ll-pox cases from the Llysfaen district had been removed to the Gwyrfai Hospital under the following circum- stances —The four persons were quarrymen, residing in small cottages, two of which were situated in populous terraces, so that it was clear that very great danger of a. serious epidemic existed. Having utterly failed to obtain a.ny house in the vicinity in which the patients might be isolated, in the emergency he communicated with the chairman of the Gwyrfai Council, and requested leave to convey them to Gwyrfai Hospital. provided that all expenses and rent for the hosptal be paid by the Conway Guard- ians. With great kindness the chairman gave his consent, a written order by the relieving officer of the Conway Guardians wa.s obtained, and the four men: were removed the same day in the fever ambulance of the Colwyn Bay Coun- cil. They .stood the journey of about 34 miles very well, and were getting on well under the care of Dr W. J. Williams and two nurses. He (Dr Fraser) trusted that the 'Council would. with their usual kindness a.nd humanity, sup- port the action of the chairman in granting his request. as the position was a most serious one not only for North Carnarvonshire but for the whole county. The same kindness in a similar emergency was shown to the Gwyrfai district II by the chairman of the Carnarvon Sanitary Committee in 1900.—On the motion of Mr R. B. I EUis, it was resolved that in future no cases of small-pox were to be removed into the Gwyrfai Hospital from places outside the district with- out in the first prace obtaining the permission of all emergency committee.—This was seconded and adopted and a committee representing each parish in the district was appointed.

Thornton Jones, enclosing copy letter from1 the bridge lessee, stating that this was the only matter which had arisen between the Corporation and himself during the time he had had the bridge, and he would be very sorry for it to lead to any litigation or unpleasantness.

TERRIBLE DISCOVERY AT .LLANDUDNO. SUPPOSED DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE. LITTLE BOY'S DISTRESSING STORY. A dreadful discovery was made at Llandudno on Tuesday night, which leaves no room for doubt that a double murder and suicide had been committed in the course of the afternoon on the Great Orme's Head. The toll-keeper of the Marine Drive admitted to the drive in the course of the afternoon a woman about 34 years of age and three child- cnen. The eldest of the children wias a boy seven years of age. They stated that they were not. going fa.r. About an hour afterwards, Mr Owen, the toll-keeper, saw the boy alone return- ing. He asked where the mother was, and the little fellow replied "She's gone." Thinking the child was lost, Mr Owen handed ,him over to the poilice, who learnt from questioning him that liis mother belonged to Liverpool. It was, as the result of further inquiry, found that the wioiman was named Ellen Roberts, aixd lived flit 24, Townsend-lane, Winchester-street, Liver- pool. Her husband, a tramoa.r inspector in the employ of the Liverpool Corporation, was tele- phoned for. and arrived at Llandudno on Wed- nesday. The boy was able to explain the dread- ful tragedy to him. He said that his mother and the two younger children, both girls, were d'norwned. The mother had thrown them over the precipice into the sea, and had then cast herself after them. Inspector Owen, of LTandudtno, with Sergeant Pugh amd some assistants, proceeded to the spot indicated by the child. It is about 150 yards from the lighthouse on the Marine Drive, near from the lighthouse on the Marine Drive, near a curve in the road. There is a grass-covered slope, about 60 yards wide at this point, and beilow it a precipice, at the foot of which is the sea, which at all states of the tide Washes the rock. Near the verge, some art icles of cloth- ing were found fastened down to the grass with ing were found fastened down to the grass with a hat pin-, and the husband at once identified these as belonging to his wife. On the rocks below were signs of the falling of bodies from (above, but they would enter the sea- at the foot and be carried away by the current. None of the bodies have yet been found, but there is unhappily little ground for hope that the tragedy is not a terrible reality. The child states that he was pushed over by Ms mother, but landed on a hedge, whence he was able to creep bafck to the roadway, and so returnd to the lodrte where Mr Owen found1 him. His namie is Edgar Jackson. His mother was Mi widow when sue married Mr Roberts. The latter was greatly distressed when he learnt. osf hms bereavement. He states that his wilfe had been very low-spirited latterlv. but he had no idea. that she contemplated so dreadful a deed. She is believed to have proceeded straight to the Marine Drive after reaching Llandudno. Her husband was not aware that she had left home until he received- the telephone message. It is understood that Mr Roberts was a widower when he married Mrs Jackson, and that he had child- ren by his first- wife. Last year, he paid a visit to Llandudno with his wife, and they were round the Marine Drive together.

I MENAI BRIDGE URBAN COUNCIL. TUESDAY EVENING.—Mr Cadwaladr Da- vies presiding. W ATER LEASES. — Mr J. (B. Price, Plas Q.idnant, wrote stating that he was willing to renew the leases of the water rights, but as he believed some sources of supW- had been taken by the Council which were not in the leases, he should be glad if they would mark them on the plan, so that they might he included in the new lease. WATER RATE.—It was decided not to levy a separate water rate next year WATER RATE.—It was decided not to levy a separate water rate next year THE NEW WEIR: "EXCEPTIONAL DE- LAY."—Mr J. J. Webster, the engineer, re- ported that since his last report the progress of the work had been slow, due to a great extent to the boisterous weather. The west dolphin was nearly completed, and satisfactory progress had been made with the work of jumping the holes in the rock to receive ,No.6 pole. With reference to the removal of the rock in front of the dolphin, he should be glad to receive the instructions of the Council. He recommended that the sum of JB45 be paid to Mr Isaac Evans, land the sum of JB515 to Mr Alfred Thorne.—A letter w.M read from Mr Alfred Thorne, com- plaining that the old pier had not been re- moved in time. It was now twelve weeks since the iron work was delivered, and he was not yet able to drive the piles. For the last four weeks, he had done little or nothing, and he would re- quire to make a heavy claim for delay tmd loss. There was certainly now no chance of getting the pier ready by contract time.—In reply to a resolution passed by the Council, Mr John J. Webster stated tlfctt the two projecting pieces of rock, whether they be solid rock or loose boulders, were not shown or indicated on any charts or plans, land were apparently unknown to local residents. (He questioned whether the captains of the local steamers knew anything a/bout them. or they would have given them a wider berth than they had been in the habit of doing. IHe did not think blame could be at- tached to anybody, for he had only worked from information supplied to him officially. Unfor- tunately, the rocks were there, and he thought the most profitable discussion would be to settle the best plan of getting over the difficulty, which he thought would be a small one.—Regarding the letter received from Mr Thorne, Dr R. M. Williams took it that the Council was not re- [ sponsible for any delay.—Mr J. Davies Jones re- marked that Mr Isaac IEvans had distinctly stawà that tMr Thorne was not ready until the following ITuesday, and by that date he (Mr Evans) would be ready for him. He distinctly stated that Mr Thorne was not ready. He thought that the attention of Mr Evans should iba ctilled to the letter.—Mr iR. G. Thomas ob- served that everything should be done through the engineer, for it concerned him and the con- tractor.—Dr R. M. Williams: We must protect ourselves.—^Mr J. Hugh Davies, proposed that the 'Council should write to Mr Webster dis- claiming liability.—IDr R. M. Williams Once we commit ourselves, we are done.—An amend- ment, proposed by tMr Thomas Roberts, to the effect that Mr Thorne should be informed that all complaints should be submitted to the en- gineer, was dirried.—'It was also decided to dis- cuss the question of the rocks at a. special meet- ing. THE E XP ENDTTUiRE. —The Finance Com- mittee recommended "that a committee of in- quiry be appointed to consider the expenditure of the Council with a view of effecting a. reduc- tion."—Supporting the recommendation. Mr D. H. Davies explained that the Finance Commit- tee, which brought it forward, had a particu- larly livelv meeting, a.nd it was adopted with unanimity. There was scarcely an item in the expenditure of the Council that could not .be ma- terially .reduced. IIn two towns in Anglesey, similar in size to Menai Bridge, the expenditure on the highway's was only B12 per mile; at Menai Bridge, it was JB46 per mile, a difference of £34 per mile. There was something radically wrong.—Mr Walter R Jones thought that the Council undertook the repair of twelve miles, not 4! miles, as stated.—The Chairman said that he knew of -a main road m Anglesey which cost only ,£8 a mile per annum.—The recommenda- tion moved by Mr J. iDayies Jones, and seconded ■bv Mr Bacon, wa.s unanimously carried AN ORJIECTIONAIBLE WALL.-The Watch Committee ,a.elvised that Messrs Greenall, Whit- ley, foe approached with the view of obtaining their consent to the removal of the wall of the garden abutting the entrance of the new Pro- menade.—-Dr R. M. Williams remarked that he spoke to one of the directors of the firm of Messrs 'Greenall, Whitley, who stated that they would be pleased to assist local authorities in everv way.The recommendation was carried. THE WATCH COMMITTEE. —The Surveyor (Mr Arthur Thomas) havinq reported that the working of the Tyddyn To Quarry was very expensive, the committee resoived to recommend its abandonment in favour of the Tvddyn Mostyn Quarry, and this was agreed to.—It was abo re- solved to inform contractors and the was com- panv that when they broke up the roads, they would have to keep th»m in repair for three I months, and be responsible for any accident oc- casioned therebv. SUNDAY WORK. Mr Thomas Roberts asked if there were anv men working at the pier on Sunday.—Mr R. 'G. Thomas replied in the affirmative, the work being very neceswirv.— Mr fieonre Hand And you cannot stop them.— j Dr R. M. Williams thought that they might, work on some day other than 8u!!rLn-, Could they not work on Saturday night?—The Survey- or stated that the men had to work on the Sun- day or else the progress would be hampered.— Mr Georee'Hand asked what obiection was th,re to working on 'Sunda-v.—Dr R. M Williams thought it just as well for the Council to respect the wishes of the neighbourhood.—Mr George Hand What about the steamship company run- ning on Sundav?—Mr J. Davies Jnnes stated that in thnt respect, the-Council had ibeen wrong- ly blamed. <

I THE LLANRWST SENSATION CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER. COMMITTED ON A REDUCED CHARGE, At a. special meeting of the Llanrwst Petty Sessions on Monday before 0, Isgoed Jones, Esq. (presiding). Jelf Pettit. Esq.,W. B. Hallied, Esq., and W. J- Williams, Esq., a. man named John Roderic Jones, labourer, residing at 5. Chapel-street, Llanrwst. was brought up in cus- tody, and on remand, charged with attempting to murder his wife. Ann Jones, on the 19th of February, and with endeavouring subsequently to oommitt suicide. Supt. Jarvis appeared for the prosecution and Mr E. Davies Jones (from the office of Messrs James and Humphreys) to de- f-emd. The ,dfe .appealed ioi court «wiith a bandaged head, and the prisoner, who wore no collar, was very restless in tthe dock. Ann Jones, the wife of the prisoner, stabed that cm Thursday morning, the 19th of Febru- ary, her husband oame upstairs with a letter for her, which he opened, and .burnt. He pre- vented her getting upT and brought witness a cup of tea and some toast. He then went down and returned. She did not see anything ill his liiand then, but he struck her first on the head, fund then on the dhest with soimiething, she could not say what it was, but it was heavier than the fist. Prisoner did not tell her anything before the struck. Witness saiid, "For God's sake, do not kill me. John bach." She also screamed and went out of bed to the window, which sihe opened, and called out "Murder" three times. He head was bleeding at the time. The wear- ing apparel (produced) was hers, and the blood uiporn it came from her Wounds. Her son. Wll- liiam Charles, was in the bedroom. When she shouted, prisoner ran to the window, and closed it. Whilst he was doing that, witness ran downstairs. Prisoner followed, and kicked her in tlie back, having his boots on at the time. After rushing downstairs, she ran to Robert Owen's house, where she fainted. She remem- bered seeing a, bott'le like the one produced (which was a beer bottle) downstairs the previous night. There was no such bottle upstairs. P.C. Davies and Dr Williams came to Owen's house, and Dr Williams treated her head, and had been attending her ever since. She and her husband had been sleeping in the same bedroom. Wit- ness did not sleep much during that night, be- cause she was afraid. She had been ill for five wrecks previous, and it was only on the day be- fore that she came downstairs. During the nigjhlt, iprieoner got up three t-imies. On the previous evening, he had been faUow-inig her iibout. everywhere. Witness asked the reason Why, but- acou-sed did not answer. Prisoner had been ill for about five months, and she had a,t- tended to him verv well. He was in receipt of panish relief. He had no'thimg against her so far as she knew. and CÜt11å give no reason whv th-e assault was committed. When the accused brought the tea and toast, somethine wa.s said ftibom* gciiing to the workhouse. Witness saiid that she would rather go to the workhouse in order to have better fairpl-av. as to attendance and food. Prisoner said on his oath that she should not go there. It was after that that the niccused struck her. Cross -examined by Mr E. Davies Jones, she had been married to the prisoner sevent-ec-'n years. Accused brought up a letter in the morn- ing for her. but she did not see the address. She expected a letter from her m-oth.fr. Accused had written to her mother the previous Wednes- day. As a. matter of fact they had been in straightened circumstances for several weeks. but they were all right until she went down. They only .got 10s a week from the parish. Prisoner had not been earning money for 23 or 24 weeks owing to illness. He was always very willing to do anything for her, and what little he bad1 he prepared it as well as he could. In- deed, 'it was better that morning than ever be- forel. She did not titink that her husband grieved a.t all because she mentioned the work- house. When he received money from people during his i-llness. he brought it -all to her. He also used to bring all his wages to her as wedl iais the paper, showti-ng the amount he bad re- ceived. Tlie fact, tfha't be had beem out olf Work for suich a llooug time; haid changed him- very much. Dr Parry had told prisoner during has illness not to excite himself. To the Bench Witness said that- during the 17 years tlhey had Been married, her husband had been a. brute to her. He had kicked and knocked her about. He was addicted! to drink until he (gOt iIl1. Although he gave her all his money, he took amounts sometimes up to 4s from; her. Witness took drink When the doctor or- dered her, an-di brandy when her heart was bad. There had been no trouble in the househdM owing to her conduct with a man from B'stlhes- da, It was not true that she ever received JB25 from a man from Bethesda. William Charllés Jones, aged 11 years, son of the abused, said that upon bearing his mother screaming "Murder," he ran upstairs. He saw that his mother's head was bleeding. His father wias there, and he hit witness's mother with something, he could not say with what. He asked bite father not to kill her. Thereupon, Wis father ran afirr witness, and tried to give him a kick. Robert Owen, residing in Chapel-street, and <a groom- in the employ of Dr Haro-°-> Parry, saiid that on the morning in question, the prose- cutrix came to his house in a fainting condition, with blood runniny. down- iher neck. P.C. Davies (41) corroborated the last wit- ness's testimony. On Friday, the 20th of Febru- ary, at the workhouse, prisoner made a state- ment. to him in Welsh. Mr Davids Jones: DM you, caution him. The Witness No. Mr Dayies Jones: Then. you cannot put it in. Tlie objection was over-ruled, and-' Mr Jones asked that a note of his point be made on the depositions. The witness (proceeding) said! that tihe ac- cessed had said. "Bob baoh. I struck her wlitfh a bottle, but when she opened the Window and shouted 'Murder.' and asked me, 'John, don't Kill me,' I could'nt do it. But. when she -m1S •ojOTnig downstairs, I ga-ye her <a. kick in the idbest. But what came over me, I don't know." Prisoner did not give him any reason why he struck her with the bottle. On the 26th off February, he was again in charge of the pris- oner. Dr Williams was also there. Witness Sileard a conversation between the accused and the medical gentleman. Mr Davies Jonesoojootoo to the evidence. The witness, proceeding, said that Dr Williams asked prisoner what made him do it. Accused replied, "I do not know, but I was determined, and remember I was in my right mind at the time." A-Ccused told the officer time after time while in the workhouise, "They think that I am imiad, but I am not." Cross-examined, witness said that he knew prisoner well. He always .appeared perfectly sane. Witness did not know that any of the family had been confined to an asylum." He ad- mitted bavin sr observed to some persons that he did'not- like the look of prisoner. Dr Williams stated that the wife had a scalp Dr Williams stated that the wife had a scalp wtenmd on the back of the head, which bled very much, and a bruise on the breast. He had also I latitendled the accused while he was at the work- house. Accused was very impulsive, and in- fluenced by changing impressions to an exag- gerated degTee. His wife was in a weak, neur- otic state. In cross-examination the doctor said tlie Wound on the head was of a superficial char- acter, and the bruise on the breast was not ser- ious. There was no likelihood of any mischief amsimg from the injury. The scalp wound was now healed. For the defence, Dr J. W. Owen confirmed the opinion of Dr Williams as to the unimipor- to.nt character of the injuries. Tlie wife suffered Tom W^'larlty of the heart and <»-ner«,l nervousness. Tlie husband had Bright'* disease and was very excitable. Nine davs had passed] between the time he saw the prosecutrix and the date of the assault. Mr Dayres Jones addressed, the Court for the defence, and haid laid stress upon the ey-idemjce, which showed that the injury done to the wbman was_ trivial in character. He that the confession which had' b?e.n :put im- evi- dence had been improperly obtained, and should I be disregarded, and. that being done. there Was no evidence on which- to send, the prisoner for trial on the charge of attempted murder. He a«ked the Bench to reduce the dh'arge to one d eommion assault. After consultation with his colleagues, the 1 Chairman said1 the Bench had' nnanimouslv j cided to commit the prisoner to tl:-e Uiiarter Sessions on the charge of unlawful wounding The hearing of the charge of attern.r-tin.c^'to j commit suicide- was- then proceeded with ° Sunt. Jarvis stated that on the Thursday in II onestion. the nrisone-r surrendered himself to Jy'im at the Police Station, stating that he was I dying. He pointed to liis left- breast- atnd fa^tied. 4) He examined the prisoner, and found a wounl m tiM* left breast. Wlten prisoner recovered* wiitaess asked hina what, he inflicted it w&tbr and the man replied that he did it with a skewer* With whidh he made bird cages. Dr Jones at- tended him. Wiuhi-H found the skewer (pro- diuiced) in the house under the bed. To the wit- ness the accused afterwards said it would be 81 good thing if he and his wife wiere dead. The man was sober, and apparently in a. very delicate state of health. Dr Jones described the wound. It was a punctured wound just over the heart, and passed through the skin into the breast. He did not cooisliideT the Wound dangerous, as it had not, so far as he could judge, penetrated into the cavity of tihe chest. Prisoner was crying and in great distress. He asked the superintendent to let him d!ie. Mr Davies Jones reserved his defence. On this change also the prisoner was com- mitted to the Quarter Sessions, the Chiiirmau remarking that he would be mediically treated in prison, and also examined as to the state of his mind.
