ADA lONG DEFENCE FUND I We understand that a fund has been opened to defray the expenses incurred by Ada Long, the Colwyn 'Bay girl, whose case at Ruthin Assizes a few weeks ago attracted so much attention. Miss Ion,, is a .poor girl, and but j ifor the kindness of Colwyn Bay (people, she would undoubtedly be unable to pay counsel for defending herself against the serious charge Y-ai brought against her. The fund was organised by Councillor Edward Allen, and subscriptions amounting to JB59 2s. have been received. Messrs Bone and Lucas, solicitors, Llandudno j and Colwyn Bay, who took up the defence of the girl, have acted very generously. In a i letter to Councillor Allen they wrote as fol- lows: Our charges for professional services, if made out on a moderate scale, Would amount. Icf t/'tween £ 30 and £ 40, biziti we understand the total sum received in subscriptions is JB59 2s, and we shall there- j fore be willing to accept whatever balance there may be in hand atfter payment of the expenses in settlement of our charges for professional services." I Dr Mould and Dr Whitehead, who gave evi- I dence for the defence, ha.ve also acted very generously, and the two advocates, Mr Ellis J. Griffith, M.P., and Mr Artemus Jones, re- turned £ 5 of their fee 'cowards the fuad.

A THAMP'S STATEMENT ROBBERIES AT A TAILOR'S SHOP IN COLWYN BAY. At Colwyn Bay, on Thursday, Robert Fitz- gerald, aged 21, a well-built youth of the tramp style, hailing from Liverpool, was charged with breaking into the lock-up, shop of Mr J. W. Browne, Abenge-le-road, steading therefrom articles of clothing, etc., to the value of about JS10. Mr J. W. Browne, the shopkeeper, stated that he locked u.p at 9 o'clock on the 11th of October, when everything was all right, but on returning the following morning, he found the place in great disorder. He at once com- municated with the sergeant of police, ani later, in company with P.C. Evans, searched the premises, when several articles were found to be missing. The window of the workshop, through which an entrance had been gained, wjas unfastened, and there were fcotm-ark-s both on the sill and on a table just inside the window He identified a dark grey overcoat, pair of grey mixture trousers and vest, pair of green coloured trousers, and field glasses pro- duced as his property. Albert Ediwards, of Stanley House, Flint, {pawnbrokers's manager, said that on the 12th of October, prisoiner came to his shop, and produced a dark grey overcoat to be pledged. He gave his name as Robert Fitzgerald, and said he stayed at 7, Chapel-street. Flint. Wit- ness gave him 3s on the coat, and did not a&k Olim if the overcoat was his, as he appeared respectable. The next he heard of the matter was. on Monday, 5th November, when Inspector Bagshaw came to his shop. Inspector Blagelhiaw said that on the 31st October, he wéJ' to Sheffield, and there re- ceived the prisoner from the city police, where he had surrendered himself. He brought pris- oner in custody to Abergele, where he was locked up, and the following morning a state- anient made by prisoner was read to him, and he was asked whether it was true and whether the signature was in his handwriting. lIe replied in the affirmative. Prisoner's statement was as follows :—"On the 11th October, 1906, I went from Rhyl to Colwyn Bay with a man whom I know as James Brady; we reached Colwyn Bay at 6 p.m. on that day. About 8.30 p.m. we went into a field near the main road. There was a boot shop at the corner of the street, opposite -to where we were, and a tailors' shop next ^loor. We waited in the field until the boot shop was closed. There are some steps lead- ing up to the bootshop door. We crossed over and found that the window of the tailors' shop was unfastened, and the top sash wa.s open about 6 inches, and was propped up "with a piece of stick inside. We lifted up the top safiih, and the stick fell inside, and we went in through the window. We slept in the shop until 2 o'clock the following morning. We ] broke open the gas meter and stole 2s 7d from St. We took our own off, put om two pairs otf new trousers each, and a jacket and pairs otf new trousers each, and a. jacket and vest each, also an overcoat each. We also took a pair of opera glasses, a razor in a case, and a lather brush and a hard hat. We left the shop about 4 a.m. and walked to Holywell. We afterwards went by train to Flint, where I piledged the overcoat for 3s in the name I Doyle or Fitzgerald. Brady afterwards pledged the waistcoat and one pa-ir of trousers for 3B at the same shop, and he gave the name as I had given. We destroyed the tickets. We afterwards went by train to Chester, where I Brady pledged the opera glasses for 3s. We stayed at Chester until Saturday, the 13t n, when we went to Liverpool, and Bradv pledged another of the pairs of trousers in Wavertree- road for 2s We stayed together at a lodging- house in Falkland-street until Sumdav. when I left him. I afterwards wont to Old Swan, and stayed there until Tuesday, 16th October. I pledged another of the pairs of trousers in 'Buownlow Hill, on the 16th, for 9d. We <raye ) the razor and lather brush away in a public- I, houso at Chester." Continuing, the Inspector fuiiid that in com- sequence of this statement, he visited Flint, where Mr Albert Edwards handed him a- dark grey overcoat, also a. grey troupers and ve&t. He. then went to Cfhester. and at the pawn- grey overcoat, also n. grey troupers and veBt. He then went to Cfhester. and at the pawn- broker's premises of Mr W. 'G. Lightfoot, and from the manager, Mr .John Dutton, received a. pair of opera glasses.

1 NORTH WALES MASONIC CHARITIES In a circular letter to the members of the Masonic Lodges of 'North Wales, Mr Jamea Porter, of Conway, the chairman of the NorUh Wales Masonic Charitable Associations, points out that the voting' strength of the province is approximately 22,000 for the b«ys' school, 1160 for the girls' school and 340 lor male candi- dates, and 200 for female candidates for the benevolent- institution. At the, last election the figures recorded, for the lowest successful can- didates were 3786 for tho boys' school, 4594 for the girls' school, and 3526 for male and 1917 for female candidates for the benevolent insti- tution. There were now in the institutions five boys, three girls, and four aged masons or widows receiving annuities. To accomplish this result thousands of votes have had to be borrowed, and the aggregate indebtedness in votes was more than three times the annual voting strength, so that it will take the pro- vince quite three years to wipe out tlie exist- ing "votes debt." The loch/e which subscribe* best to the A fund of the Association, each subscriber having one vote for the year, is St Trillo Colwyn Bay, 56 per cent of the members contributing, while the lodge which subscribes wst to the B fund is the Square and Compass, Wrexham, 100 per ceaxt. of whose members are contributors. The smaller B fund subscrip- tions are .pooled by the Association for the pur- pose of purchasing life subscribers' votes for one or other of the institutions-

LYING ON THE RQA~DSIDE On Tuesday, a. motor car belonging to Mr G. H. Robertson, of Plas Newydd, Llangollen in which were the owner and two ladies and r, gentleman, was going along the Wrexham road just outside Chester, when it ran over a man who was lying on the roadside, and inflicted such injuiries to his head that he died shortly afterwards. The man was about 50 years of age, and wore labourer's clothes. He was not identified.

THE TEST OF DRUNKENNESS AN AMUSING CASE AT LLAMRWST. CQlonclr Joh uis/tone &n,d other nmgdsbroam sitting at the Uanrwst Police Court, cm Mon- day, had only one case of drunkenness to ad- judicate upon, but it was out of the ordinary run of cases at this particular Police Court inasmuch as it was keenly defended. It was a caste in which Rotbert Edward Morris butcher, Scotland-street, Llanrwst, was charged with having been drunk on the premises of the Glanconwy Hotel in that town. P.O. Evans stated that on October 3rd, when visiting with a brother officer the Glanconwy Hotel, he saw the defendant, who was intoxicated, sitting in one of the rooms. The man nad no liquor in front of him, but there was a sixpence on the table near him. The officer was sharply cross- examined by Mr Arthur Roberts, who appeared for the defence, as to how he knew the defen- dant was drunk. P.C. Evans said he saw the man half an hour earlier drunk in the Square. He could' see by his face also in the hotel that he was intoxicated. Mr Roberts continued to interrogate the officer, when the latter in- ignantty, "Why do you repreat your questions to me? lwill not answer your Qxces- tionis twice over." Mr Roberts, for the defence, declared that some better test of drunkenness than the ex- pUe^l0TL a ma;n's *ace have been ap- P.C. Evans; This is a misrepresentation of my evidence, your worships. I had seen him staggering drunk half an hour before. Mr Rbberts said he did not deny that the police were trying to do their duty, but this wa.s a ra<je of over-zeal. The defendafnt was fined 5s and costs.

THE LIFE OF GIPSIES LIVING IN A TENT OOMPOSED OF OLD SACKS. An insight to the mode of life among travel- Jrng Gipsies was obtained at the (Llanrwst lohce Court, on Monday, when IMr R 0 Davies ^Messrs R. O. Jones and DaVies^ Bla-en.au Festiniog) related to tthe justices pre- ent, over whom Col. Johnston presided, re- voiting concerning the charge of crueltv to children brought against Kenzie Taylor and Jane Taylor, his wife, by Inspector William James, R.S.IP.C,C. The male defendant ar- rived from (Ruthin Gaol in charge of a wa der and the wife from the Llanrwst Workhouse. Mr R. O. Davies said that Taylor his wife and family travelled about in the hilly parts of North Wales, living in a tiny ten*. All the eight children—the eldest of whom was four- teen years and the youngest two years-slept with their father and mether in a. tent 8ft by 6ft in area. On 10000ber 6th, Inspector James, went up to a lonely spot ou the Wjenlle Mountain, and saw ttfce wretched encampment of tbefee people in a lane. The wife had gone out hawking, and it was she who provided the only means of subsistence, the husband being merely a. drunken wastrel. The inspector found the eight children in the miser- able tent, which was formed of course ragging very much patched wl;,h ragfe. The only place for the children to sleep was on a. dirty layer of straw on the wet grass, and the only covering from them was two or three old Iblankets cover- ed with vermin. Although the children were fairly well nourished, they were scarcely suffi- ciently clad to cover their nakedness, and their bodies and- such clothing as they wore vermin- ous and filthy. Mr 'James observed that the children were entirely without food, and he obtained something for them from a neigh- bouring farmhouse. Next day, when he went up to the place with a warrant, the defendants and their unfortunate children had disappeared^ but they were traced. The father was arrested and the mother and- children were taken to the workhouse. It was thought better to issue a summons against the mot-her as well as the warrant against the father, but this was done not with the indention of protsecuting her so much as to bring her before the court, in order that the magistrates might send her to the workhouse with the children. VVhen charged, in the presence of his wife, Taylor said: "I am doing my best; I cannot do more." The wife, in the presence of her husband made the following statemeDt "I am struggling very hard in order to main- tain my children. I go out every day to sell a few things, and when I return home. at night I am obliged to hand over every penny I earn d-uring the day to my husband, who spends most of ifa in drink. If I do not give it to him he abuses me. I earned a little money a few weeks ago, and I asked my husband to try and get a little house where we could live during the winter, but instead of thai:i he spent it all in drink. I cannot wash the children's clothes because I ha.ve no changes for them. He has always acted very cruelly towards me and the children." Inspector James stated that when he ap- proached the tent on the occasion of the visit to the camp on Wenlle Mountain the children ran away, and it was with difficulty that six of them were induced to return. The two elder ones were not seen at all. Next day the eight were found 'huddled together in the tent, which wate pitched in a lane in Llanddoget. They were all very cold and very wet. Soupt. Woollam, who yave corroborative evi- dence, said that the tent was neither wind- proof nor water-proof. When searched after his arrest, £1 Os. ll^d. was found upon the male defendant, as well as a watch, which he said was his wife's. Corroborative evidence was 'also given by William Roberts, of the Fferm Farm, Wenlle Thomas J. Roberts, workhouse master, and Dr Llovd Williams. The male defendant said the reason his family were so pooriv housed and clad was that he had had the misfortune to lose his horse, and he was trying ';<o save money enough to buy another old one. He had a waggon av.d changes for the eh;1dren. Supt. Woollam informed the Benca that the. defendant's van was at Llanelian, where his horse died. In 1899 the defendant was im prisoned one month, and in 1903 two months for cruelty to children at Rhyl and Holywell. He lipd also served a term of imprisonment for malicious wounding.. The Court committedi the male prisoner to gaol for four months, wi'fh hard labour, and made an order that the female defendant should be taken to the workhouse with the children.

FOOTBALL NORTH WALES COAST JUNIOR Cf1"P. LLANDUDNO RESERVES v. COLW"^ BAY. On Saturday the above teams met on the Council Field, Llandudno, in glorious weather. The bout was in the 2nd round of the N.W.C. Junior Cup. The teams lined up as follows :— Llandudno: Goal, J. Williams; backs, S. Williams, J. Lunt; halves, W. Lunt, J. T»l;usli, Hall; forwards, R. Roberts, H. O. Rob- Brookes-Evans, F. Roberts, W. S. Owen. Colwyn Bay > Goal, C. Croydon backs, G. Baker, O. E. Williams; halves, E. Raisbeck, T. Wellings, R. Rowlands; forwards, B. Wheater, W. T. Jones, Tf McCann, S. Matthews, J. LI. Owen. Referee: Mr V Jones, Llanrwst. The homesters won the toss, and elected kick towards the town goal with the wind to their backs. McCann commenced operations, and the Bay were soon in front of Williams, but nothing resulted. The homosters next took up the running, and Croydon brought off a miraculous save, which was loudly applauded. The game was of a very fast and exciting na- ture, each end being visited in turn. From one of these visits, F. Roberts scored a beauti- ful point for the homesters. The honour of the goal must most certainly be given to R. Roberts, who cleverly tricked two opponents, and passed to his brother, who quickly re- turned the sphere, the younger Roberts then putting in an accurate centre, from which the p-.)int was gained., Nothing further was scored! up to the interval, when the board road Llandudno, 1; Colwyn Bay, 0. Re- starting. the Bay, with the advantage 'of the breeae, went quickly to work, and Williams was repeatedly called upon to clear his lir.?s, which he did magnificently. There was no doubting the superiority of the visitors, and with the exception of an occasional break- away by the home forwards, the scene of play was within the home half. Some time had elapsed before McCann equalised. From now to time, excitement was intense, and great was the cheering when, (about five minutes from time. Brookes-Evans pu,t in a shot which Croydon misjudged, and was greatly chagrined to see the sphere laying in the net. Nothing further of note occurred, the whistle sounding with the scores Llandudno, 2; Colwyn Bay, 1. HOLYHEAD v. RANGOiR OELTS. Holyhead- oontinued their triumphant pro- gress on Saturday, when they played Bangor Celts in the second round of the above cup compsation. There was a good gate, and in the first half the visitors had the advantage of a slight breeze. The ground was in splen- dId condition, and the weather was ideal for tootball. The teams were • Holyhead^—<3oaI, CoUier; backs W. H Parry and Space; halves, W. Taylor, W. 1. Jones, R. Ellis; forwards, H. Roberts J. Rowlands, O. iB. Edwards, H. iBrown, W Brown. Celts.-Goal W. Gillett; backs, S. Wilhams A. Thomas; halves, W. H. Parry, W. G. Roberts, G. iHall; forwards, M. Jones, Davies, A H. Owen, T. J. Evans, Eardley. x1 rom the kick-off the Celts forced the play, and Eardley defeated Collier in the first minute. The homesters were taken by surprise, but were soon impressed with the necessity for a energetic play. They pressed to some purpose, and, after getting some corners, there was a delicate dribbling movement by the brothers Brown. Johnny Rowlands dashed in, and was dangerous when Gillett flashed from his goal and cleared. O. iB. Edwards got the ball in mid-neld, outplayed the centre half, eluded Williams and Thomas, and, while the crowd held their breath, the home captain sent in a magnificent drive past iGillett, who had run out; towards him. This put the teams level, and then Will Brownl who was performing wonders on the left., tried to score, but missed by a couple of yards. The home centre soon repeated his former effort, under somewhat similar circumstances. Tkis time Gillett Stayed in goai, but to no purpose, for Edwards, who was in a difficult posittion sent past him and went rolling to the touch-line. Holyhead were now in high feather, and began to play their usual dashing game. The visiting trio of halves, however, frequently spoiled their moves, and they deserve great credit for their fear- less tackling and persevering methods. Hughie (Roberts struck 'tne cross-bar with a stinger, and Hugh Brown's next attempt was caught by Gillett, who gave a corner. An attempt by J. Rowlands to rush the goal-keeper was fruit- less. The ball travelled towards Dollier, and the Bangor outside right hanged it at the cus- todian, who returned with interest. Combina- tion by iEdwardf and Rowlands gave Hugh iBrown a chance, and he shot with a lovely curve on the ball, IGillett having no hope of stopping it. A gallant attack by Will Brown was frustrated by A. Thomas, who cleared The, baj^I was soon returned y Hick Ellis, who was ever alert, and whose accuracy and neat- ness were prominent features of the game. W. T. Jones, with the aid Qf Taylor and Ellis, prevented any protracted passing by the visi- tors. J. Rowlands made another heroic effort- to plant the ball in the net, bui was unlucky. Hugh IBrowm secured, when Gillett waa expecting a terrific shot, the wily Hugh cent in easily, the ball passing slowly between the astonished Bangorian's legs. This was number four, but the hunger of the iHolyheadians was not appeased, although there was plenty- of feeding from the halves. Magnificent .head- work was displayed, W. T. Jones being most proficient in this branch of the art. The Celts now warmed up, and the forwards made one of their few attempts at scoring. Parry, of Holy- head, was heavily pressed, and passed «to Col- lier, but the visiting centre reached the ball first and scored a very soft goal. At half-time the score was four to two. In the second half the homesters (pressed con- tinually, and GiUett was worked hard. He rose to the occasion, however, and' his saves were extremely fine. The home halves, having a poor forward line against them, considered it their duty to have pops at goal, and long shots were the rule. W. T. Jones took Gillett un- awares with a nicely judged shot fct 30 yards, and added a fifth, closing the scoring account for the day. W. Brown was hurt, and had to leave the field for about a quarter of an hour, but at the end of that period he returned, and "did himself proud." W. H. Parry, claiming a right to work, joined the half-back line as handy man. It was now the ambition of each player to score on his own, but the manner m which the Celts clustered round the goal and harassed the invaders prevented this. The tarea was so congested that AN attempt at com- bination was useless. It was a case of shoot and rush. Johnny Rowlands was desperate, and came upon Gillett like an avalanche, but the a,gile custodian always managed to be ab- sent when the crash should have come. O. B. Edwards -was not served with the hall as he should have been, and he had to make all his openings himself, runnin-r round the defence as far as the corner flag on two auspicious occa- sions. Hugh Brown sent in some nice shots, and Hughie Roberts displayed a good sense of location, but all the attempts were to no pur- pose. The Bangorians were in the coal-mouth to a man, and kicked ainywhere to prevent scoring, their tactics proving1 successful. 601- lier was quite unemployed. The best man in tha visiting team was Gillett, but the full-backs also played a good game against -the best for- ward line in the League. The halves were also excellent, and worked very hard. The for- wards seemed to be doing half-back work all the time, and did not get a look in. The homesters were good all-round, but in League matches the halves will do well fclo leave the shooting to the forwards, who are able and will in sr on all occasions. The backs are faultless, and Collier is always alert. The final score was Holyhead, 5; Celts, 2. LLANRWST v. DOLWYDDELEN. These teams met at Pontypant, and after a well congested game tthe Roosters retired vie- torious by two goals to one. JUNIOR MATCHES.

Lake as his deputy. QUARTERLY MEETINGS. These were fixed for the 5th February, 7th May, 6th August, and 9th .November. WATCH COMMITTEE. The Mayor and Aldermen were appointed a ■Watch Committee. (REPRESENTATIVES. The Mayor was appointed a representative on the Court of Governors of the North Wales University Gollegel, Alderman Parry on the 'Carnarvonshire Combined Sanitary Committee Alderman 'Parry, Alderman Gregory, and founcillor Nath Roberts on the Rhyd-ddu Joint Sanitary Committee, and Alderman R. Norman Davies and Councillors J. T. •Roberts and W. G. Thomas on the joint com- mittee dealing with John Morris's Charity. IBATIH AND AlBER BRIDGE RECEIPTS'. Councillor T. H. Edwards, referring toO the statement of collection in the report of the Finance Committee, asked for an explanation of the marked diaerence betwe-an the receipts from the public baths this year as compared with last year. The totnl to date this year was only jS70 3s. 1d as against JS145 15s 2d for the corresponding period of last year, a decrease of 50 per cent. The receipts from the Aber IBridge also showed a decrease, the total to date this year being £305 lis lOd, as against £323 16s 7d last year. Alderman R. Norman Davies ^chairman of the Finance Committee) explained that the de- crease in the baths receipts was due to the fact that this year not so many galas were held asi in the year before. There was, howeveT, a con- siderable decrease in the expenditure this year, and, therefore, the net result would be the same. Councillor T. H. Edwards: These axe things we wish to know. Councillor J. T. Roberts: [Last year the baths were much more largely patronised than this year. The more the patronage extended to the baths the more the receipts from the bridge will be. Last year the Carnarvon Row- ing Club, though not flourishing, perhaps, was in existence, and the members of the club used the bridge to go to the boathouse. The club, I am sorry to understand, has now ceased to exist. lAld'ernwi (Lake hoped that, with the new members on the Council, there would be more galas next year RATE ARREARS. J A letter was read from the former tenant of the King's Head Inn, Castle-street, stating his inability to pay the rates and water charges demanded in respect of that property, and it was resolved that the accountant write to MesSTSSoameg calling their attention to the fact that their tenant had not paid the rates and water charges, and requesting them to make the payment. GAS MATTERS. At a meeting of the Gas. Committee a letter was read from Arthur Jones resigning his position as gasfitter m conse-quence of his ap- pointment with the Gas 'Light and Coke; Com- pany, Ltd. It was resolved' that the resisrna- tion be accepted, and that the maaiager take- steps to fill the vacancy. At the same meeting a letter was read' from Messrs Lake aaid Co. calling attention to the amount charged for ga-s consumed at their bakery during the September i quarter. The charge was £5 as 9d, as against a charge of £3 3s: 3d for the corresponding j •quarter, although the premises were now lighted largely by electricity.—Resolved that, aa offer to acoept £3 in settlement be made. The report of the committee wag adopted. MORTUARY. At a meeting of the ISanitary Committee letters were read from the (Rev J. Wynne Jones and (Mr J. iPentir Wiijliamis (county coroner) with reference to the provision of a mortuary, and it was resolved that inquiries be made by the surveyor as to what has ibeen done in various important towns in that re- spect. iROAiD'IllijRKYlJ1GHi fDWTHOPLL BACH. A sub-commititee of the Highway Committee had had under consideration a letter received' irom Mr R. P. Harding, of the Vaynol Estate, together with the question of the Approach from Twthill to the monument recently erected: on Twthill Each, and tt was resolved that the IMayor Ibe asked to kindly communicato with IMr Harding as to what time it would be con- venient for Mr Assheton-Simith to receive a deputation respecting the above matter. i Councillor O. Evans asked if it was in- tended to re-open the footpath through Twthill iBach to Rowland-street. The proposed new roadway through TwKhill 'Bach wouid be of very little use to the inhabitants of Twthill without the footpath leading to the station. Councillor R. Thomas (chaarman of the High- way Committee) replied that the feeling of the committee was that the footpath should be re opened, and that the matter should be placed before Mr Assheton-;Smith. INSUFFICIENT LIGHT. Councillor R. Gwyiieddon Davies asked whether the Highway Committee had had" un- der consideration the insufficient lighting of the (bottom of Tithebarn-street And iBangor- street, by Pendref Chapel. j Councillor R. Thomas sa.id that the matter would be con'sidered at tthe next meeting of the committee. THE UNEMPLOYED. j Councillor Nee asked whether it wa.s intended to appoint a sub-committee to consider what could be done with regard to relief works dur- ing fthe winter. J Councillor R. Thomas The feeling of the committee wafe'that a sub-committee should be appointed this year the same as last year. It was resolved that a 'sub-committee be ap- pointed, consisting of the* Mayor, Aldermen Parry, Gregory and Lake, and Councillors R. Thomas, Rees (Hughes, Lloyd-Carter, Nee, W. (Lloyd Griffith, and J. 'Fletcher. TRAIN SERVICE. The General Purposes Committee reported that a deputation from the Council had had an interview with Mr J. B. Bayley, assistant dis- trict traffic superintendent of the L. and N. W. Railway, at the railway station, when Mr Ray- ley promised to lay all the claims of the de- putation before Mr Dent on his return to dies- ter. lOouncillor J. (Fletcher: Has any reply been received from the railway company with regard to the train service? The times of certain trains have been altered very inconveniently. T-e Mayor We metlMr Bayley, and we had a kind and sympathetic conference with him, but no reply has been received. Councillor Nee May I suggest that when the deputation meets Mr Home that he should be reminded of the promise made to oonsidei the question of motor-service between Carnar- von and Ebenezer. We should not lose sight of the matter. We should agitate until we succeed. The Mayor I do not remember that that ma.- er was mentioned in the course of the interview, but I did suggest that a. motor-train mign- be run occasionally between Carnarvon and Baingor. The conference had entirely to do with the railway. THE COMMITTEES. T..e various committees were re-elected, Messrs. T. H. Edwards, R. R. Jones, Lloyd- Carter and Rees Hughes taking the places of Messrs Newton, Hamer, G. Owen, and J. Davies, who are not now memibers of the Coun- cil. It was suggested that Mr Carter should be appointed a member of the Electricity Com- mittee. Councillor Carter said that he would not act. Th« Mayor: We shouM ibe delighted if h° "ÇQoQUt aot. I am rather disappointed that he doe;? not. Councillor Carter I have given my answer, sir. D POSTAL (FACILITIES. The Town Clerk of Pwllheli wrote asking the Council to pass a resolution to ask the Post- master-General to extend the postal facilities to Carnarvon, and that the mail should leave the latter place at 9 o'clock instead of 8.20.

A letter was read from the London and Noron-Westers Railway Company stating that a cart, which brought coal from" Bangor-street to the back of the Prince of VVa.;&; Hotel, had pafcsed over the bridge.

ALLEGiED NUISANCE, A letter was read from Dr Taylor Morgan complaining of the noise- from Mr John Pri- chaius mill. Of late the noi:.oe had been get- ting worse, and was becoming intolerable, es- peclally to invalids in .the early hours of the morning. He had got a. few feilow-suiferers to join him in this complaint. They included Lady Turner, Parkia; Mr G. R. Rees, Plas iBrerton; Mrs Maddocks, Mr R. Roberts, Miss Sintpson, Miss Roberts, etc. The Mayor explained that a similar com- plaint was addressed to the Harbour Trust, and it was stated that Mr Pritchard had under- taken to abat-e the- nuisance. • Councillor Fletcher moved that the letter be acknowledged. Councillor Pritchard said that some of those who had signed the petition were evidently suffragettes (laughter). Councillor W. G. Thomais said that he had: not signed the petition, because he slept very soundly. understood that Mr Pritchard had made a promise that, if the noise was not done away with altogether it would be greatly moderated. That be.im& so, the object of the petition had. been met. Councillor W. (LI. Griffith Has the Town Council anything to do with the matter? The Mayor Yes, if it is a nuisance to the inhabitants. Councillor Prichard I hope you will under- stand thait I do not admit that. Councillor W. LI. Griffith It does not come under the Public Health Act. Alderman Parry: It is a nuisance. Councillor W. iLl. Griffith I only want in- formation. Councillor Prichard said that he did not wish to be unkind to the ladies who :&ad signed the petition, or anyone else, and he had pro- mised to moderate ithe noise, a.nd steps had- been taken te have that done. However, Ike could not promise that the noiis* would be done away with altogether. It wag resolved to acknowledge the letter.

BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS UNION The fortnightly meeting of the Board was held on Friday, Mr Hugh Thomas', (chair- man) presiding. At the previous meeting of the Board the porter was called upon to resign for having absented himself from the house with- out leave. A letter dated the 7th inst. was now reud from the porter resigning the post, as requested, but in a subsequent letter to the iBoard, dated the 8th, he asked for permission to withdraw his. resignation and to be rein- stated. Mr Joseph Davies explained the absence of the porter from the house. He said that he had gone to the Menai B'ridge Fair, but failed to return the same day, as arranged, owing to his having met with accident. lie tried to get a cab to come back, but failed. Mr Davies gave notice that he would move at the next meeting of the Board that the porter be re- appointed. A letter was. received from the formor master of the house (Mr John Jones) asking for the return of the money he had. paid into the auper- animation fund. Air Joseph Davies gave notice that he would move at a future meeting that the money be paid back to Mr Jones, a6 well as to the former collector of Pentraeth.

WELSH MEMBERS AND THE HOUSE OF LORDS SPEECHES AND LETTERS AT RHYL. In the unavoilable absence, through illness, of Mr J. Herbert Lewis, M.P., Mr W. Jones, M.P., performed the ceremony of opening a Liberal Clulb at Rhyl on Saturday. Mr Jones was accompanied by Mr J. Herbert Roberts, M.P. A demonstration wae afterwards held in the Town Hall, Mr S. Perks, the president of the club, presiding over a large garnering. The Chairman read a letter from Mr Herbert Lewis, M.P. :— "Day by day," wrote Mr Lewis, "it is be- coming more apparent that the Peers are b*ut on wrecking the main measure of the session. The Education Bill has been mangled apd made ridicul/oiis. The bill to establish the principle of one man one vote is oneuly threatened. It will be interesting to see what action they take with regard to the Trade Dis- putes Bill, which has been successfully car- ried through the House of Commons, or th# Land Tenure Bill, Which is now progressnig, notwithstanding stubborn and protracted op- position. "If the House of Lords were a genuinely impartial second chamber it might find a. use ful, if limited, part to play in the Constitu- tion, but as a.t present constituted it is a hope- lessly and irredeemably paxtisan body. The Liberal party in that House is in a. nermanent and absurd minority, and this imposes a handi- cap on Liberal legislation wihich the average fair-mifided British citizen will not tolerate much longer. He is determined that the Gov- ernment wihich he has placed inpawer shall not be pondemmed' by an unrepresentative body to the task of ploughing the sands, and that the Cabinet, of which Sir Henry Campbeil- iBannerman is the trusted and honoured, head. shall ha.ve the fair and unfettered opportunity which, is justly its due to carrying out it6 great programme of long-deferred reforms "In the great Constitutional strugtgle which lies before us I feel sure the members of the club will take a worthy nan, and I trust the new institution will be the training ground of a vigorous and healthy Liberalism which will maintain in full and undimiinislied strength the progressive forces of the town of Myl" | (cheers). Mr William Jones, M.P., proposed a. resolu- tion of confidence in the Government. He joined with the Chairman in expressing pleasure at the honour conferred upon their late member, and with regard to Mr Herbert Low is said no one had served the party better or been more loyal to its national objects. Th* Liberal party was in for a stormy time, with the House of Lords playing "Old Harry" —(lauigihterH-iwith its measures. He believed that three-fourths of the peers did not know what they were doing with the Education Bill; they were lost in the mist of their own ignor- ance. He outlined the changes that the Lords were making in the bill, remarking that the bishops were playinxr fast and loose with the Commons. They said they were doing it in the interests of peace. Mr Balfour delivered one of his finest speeches in praise of Cowper-Temple teaching, and the Lords did not dare to inter- fere with it in 1902. But now they were using a. Liberal measure to upset it. Such conduct was unfair and unCliri&t-ian (hear, hear). He suggested that the taxing of ground values m>i<rht be effected by means of Budget resolu- tions which would not have to go to the Lords. Mr J. Herbert Roberts, seconding the re-solu- tion. said that if the House of Lords did not (pa-sis the Education Bill in something like its present form it would only precipitate the con- flict between the people and the classes. It was pathetic to$ee the bishops with the best intentions fighting against the- will of the neople las to religious instruction in elementarv schools, If the .bishops continued to refuse to recog- nise the adequacy of the essentials of the com- mon Christian faith they would force the coun- try into a secular system. Briefly referring to the Welsh Church Commission, Mr Herbert Roberts said it was the duty of all parties giving evidence to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. There should be no hostility to the Church of Eng- land—n't was only the system tlhey attacked. I It. wns not to him a Question of counting heads. He believed that disestablishment would be the means of sweeping away a barrier, that now prevented all Christian- churches co-oper- at-iiKr acrainst wrong anid sufpporting the right (applause).

THE POLICEMAN AND THE BRICKLAYER SEQUEL TO A FIGHT AT OLD COLWYN. On Monday, at a special Police Court at Colwyn Bay, Riichard Foulkes, bricklayer, of Min-y-Don Lodge Old Colwyn, was charged before James Wood, Esq. (in the chair), and Joseph .Smith, Esq., with having as- saulted P.O. R. H. Owen while in the execu- tion of his duty on the 10th inst. Defendant pleaded guilty. P.C. Owen, of Old 'Colwyn, stated that on Saturday afternoon he was informed that the Saturday afternoon he was informed that the defendant was fight.ingwith his father in a field. He proceeded towards the spot, and in I the Dingle Field he met them. The father was very drunk, and he advised him to go home; which he did. The defendant, however, began to be abusive, and put himself into a fighting attitude. He (the constable) told the defendant he did not want to bother, and ad- vised him to go home, 'but defendant rushed at him and clutched him round the throat. De- fendant would not release his hold, and he (the constable) was obliged to use his sta(tf to .ke<<p him quiet. Defendant then promised to go quietly. But after walking about 100 yards he tried to gqt away, and some of his friends gathered round and urged him to resist the constable. Defend,aiit tried to get away, but a gentleman from Manchester came to his (the constable's) assistance. The crowd became so threatening, however, that the gentleman had to let go, and he (the constable) had to struggle with the defendant for about half an hour .before he got him to the police station. Defendant, who told the magistrates that what the constable had said was all true. wept, and promised that if they would deal leniently with him he would, not do such a thing again. Sergt. Rees said this was defendant's sixth appearance before the magistrate for 'being drunk and disorderly, and for violent conduct, and on each occasion he had been fined. The Chairman said all the warnings defend- ant had had were apparently not enouph, and he would have to go to gaol for a month with hard labour. As defendant (who kissed his wife before leaving the Court) was being taken to the cells, the Chairman said If any of. that young man's friends are here, they should understand that they have done him a. great deal of harm. If he 'had not been surrounded by his friends, who encouraged him to do wrong in resisting: the police, he probably would not have 'been Be violent.
