A SUNDAY EVENING'S ASSAULT.— Larking with a young girl led to Sunday eve- ning's assault near Llanrwst, and the sequel was heard at a. special County Court held at Llanrwst on Friday, when his Honour Moss had to decided the dispute between the parties. On Sunday evening, the 7th of Octo- Iber, Evan Lewis, farmer, Ffrith Ucha, was proceeding towards home after the evening ser- vice at the Oannel Methodist Chapel. Fol- lowing him were four girls, one of whom was the defendants diamghiter. Then came a young farm lad named William Williams, who is en- gaged at Rhos Farm. Williams, it appears, |overtook the yfoufnig ladiies, and asked; the youngest how elhe was. It was also alleged ithaf some larking took place, and that t-hft tplaintiff (Williams) put his arm round her, with the result that she called out to her father. Evan Lewis turned round, and gave the plain- tiff a really good thrashing, and this was the assault for which William a claimed JB10 10s by way of compensation. His Honour held the assault proved, and awarded L2 damages to plaintiff, but ordered both parties to pay their own costs. Mr A. Lloyd Griffith a'ppeared for the plaintiff, and Mr R. O. Davies. for the de- fendant.

A MOTOR SMASH COLWYN BAY FARMER OBTAINS DAMAGES. At the Conway County Court, on Thursday, November 29th, before his Honour Judge Moss, an action was heard in which Mrs Elizabeth Evans, tenant farmer and milk vendor, of Gwern Tyno, Colwyn Bay, sought to recover from Mr George Bradbury, architect, of 4, Cook-street, Liverpool, the sum of L21 10s damages and loss sustadined by her in conse- quence, as she claimed, of the negligent driv- ing of the defendant's motor-car. Mr Amphlett stated ithat the motor-car, driven by the defendant's driver, who was the only occupant, was passing along Conway-road# Colwyn Bay, on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 23rd, when a collision occurred with the milk float belonging to the plaintiff, as a result of which the horse attached to the milk float had to be shot. The float was being used for the afternoon delivery of milk, and as it turned out Of Llewelyn-road into Conway-road the motor-car was approaching the junction of the two roads at ai very rapid rate. Seeing the car coming for him, the driver of the milk cart, who had crossed Conway-road till he. was on his right side, pulled up. The driver of the motor-car might have passed safely on his own side of the road (behind the float), but he put on his brakes, and was going so rapidly that the car skidded and he lost control of it, so that the lamp bracket struck the horse in the breast, and broke its right foreleg at the top joint. William H. Lewis, a Colwyn Bay policeman, stated that about 4 p.m. on Sept. 23rd he was near the corner of Llewelyn-road, when he saw the motor approaching from the direction of Abergele. The car was coming at such a rate that he drew the attention of a person who was with him to it. The milk float crossed into Conway-road' amd pulled up. He then heard a i sound which he thought was due to the driver of ttM motor-car putting- on his brakes. The man, in his opinion, then lost oontrOll of the car, as there was a track 1621 yards long in the road made by the car's back wheels drag- ging. Several other witnesses for tho plaintiff were called. Mr Gibbons, for the defence, submitted that the young man driving the mil'k float came into the Conway-road on his wrong side; that he was not looking where he was going; that the motor-car was proceeding at a moderate pace, but that the milk cart came so suddenly into the way that it was impossible to prevent the collision. The horse was, unfortunately, in- jured by his leg becoming entangled with the lamp bracket, but there was no damage to the float, and none of the miil'k was spilled. Mr Bradbury submitted that the accident was due to the contributory negligenc 3 of plain tiff's man. If the car had skidc1.1 as de- scribed, the Michelin non-skid tyres would hava been torn, whereas they were undamaged. Witnesses for the defence having been hear his Honour found that the accident was due to the motor-car driver not having kepu a proper look-out, and not having blown his horn when approaching Llewelyn-road. Judgment wc given for plaintiff for J320 Is.

I HELP FROM PWLLHELI IlTelp to those in trouble is always welcome, but doubly when it comes from a neighbour. To many here, who are in trouble, the ex peri- ence of this 'Pwllheli man will prove of the greatest assistance and encouragement. Mr David Davies, Edward-street, South Beach, (Pwllheli., says :Doan's backache kid- ney pills have done me so much good that I shall certainly recommend them to my friends. "This medicine has given me sp,endid re- lief from weakness and pain in my back. Some- times the pains were so sharp that I could have cried out with thiem, especially when 1 was stooping; to the woman made miserable by at my work, and perhaps it was that which upset my kydneys and made my back bad. I tried other medicines, before I started with Doan's, but it is only Doan's that have made me better. "You are welcomed to publish my case for the benifit of other sufferers. (Signed) David Davies." What better encourgaement could there be tha.u this? It brings hope to every kidney fluffetreir to the man whose work is marie slavery by backache, rheumatism, kidney colds, urinary disorders, sciatica, sharp pains when stoopng; to the woman made miserable by dizzy smells, frequent headaches, and lnyster- ious aches and pains which she mistakenly puts down to female complaints. v The genuine Doan's backache kidnev mils are safe and reliable for old and young. Their one purpose is to heal the kidnevsi—to build them back to their natural condition, so that they can filter out. the uric acid' and other kidnev poisong that cause disease. Doan's ^Backache Kidney Pills are two shil- limrs and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and nineoence). Of all chemise and stores, or post free, direct from Fost^r-McCIellan Co.. 8.

A further breach in the embankment along the riverside protecting the London and North- Western Railway hais occurred on the Holy- well side of Llanerchymor gutter and between the gutter and the old gap stopped two years ago. Hundreds of men are engaged on the defence work, and thousands upon thousands of tons of stones are being tipped into the gap.

FOOTBALL J NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE. PORTMADOC v. HOLYHEAD. These teams met at Portmadoc on Saturday in a Coast League match. The visitors were represented as follows —• Goal, Collier; backs, Conlan and Parry; halves, Taylor, W. T. Jones, R. Ellis; for- wards, W. Brown, J. Rowlands, 0. B. Ed- wards, John Jones (Wallis), and H. Brown. The game was a very tame one, and neither team played very good football. The re-arrange- ment, of the visitting forward 141 e did fiot have any improving effect, and thecombinaton (was weak. Parry scored for holyhead by a free kick at 23 yards range, and the second came from the foot of Johnny Wallis. At half time the score was two gaols to nil in favour of Holy- head and there was no further score. The defence of holyhead was excellent, the best man on the field being W. Taylor. Holyhead were, despite their shortcomings, much the better team and well-deserved 'to win. They are still the leaders of the Coast League, having won four matches, drawn one, and lost none. Their goal record is 20 for 5 against.

COLWYN BAY v. LLANRWST. On Saturday Llanrwst again journeyooi to Colwyn Bay to play the fxture in the Welsh Amateur Cup-tie. This was the third occasion these teams had met in this round. The first: time the match was played at Llanrwst, and ended in a drawn game. Then Llanrwst went to Colwyn Bay to replay the match, but the re- feree, Mr J. Roberts, 'failed to put in an ap- pearance, and the game had to b? played on Saturday last. There was "nly a tmall at.ten dance of t „ectators. Ilic :amc- lined up as follows: Colwyn Bay: C. Hallwood (goal), R. Camp- bell, and P Rowlands (backs), R. C. Morris, T. Wellings, a,id E. >,riffiths (half-backs), T. McClann (captain), W. T. Jones, E. Reckless, S. C. Matthews, and J. LI. Owen (forwards). Llanrwst: W. E. Price (goal), W. Owen and W. T. Jones (backs), Jim Jones, Die Thomas, I and Grenville Jones, (captain) (half-acks), Norman Jones, Archie Garter, — Ohisholme, Humphrey Roberts, and Arthur Richards (for- wards). It will be noticed that t'he Bay were minus 0. E. Williams and E. 'Walters, the vacancies 'being filled by R. C. Morris, of the Post-office, and E. Reckless. The Bay won the toss, and elected to kick down hill with: the wind at their backs. (Seven minutes from the adver- tised time Chisholme Started the haill for Llan- rwst, the Bay playing only 10 men. The Bay quickly got to work, and were soon hovering around Price, who was repeatedly called upon to save. Throughout the whole of the first half the Bay had the best of the play, and only the Stirling defence of Price saved the situa- tion for Llanrwst. J. Ll. Owen unfortunately received a. nasty kick, which necessitated the game being stopped for several minutes, but on coming round Owen pluokily resumed play, though evidently suffering. Several chances of scoring were missed hy .ReckJless, and the other ggggSSSais*- Bay forwards were also to blame on several M'-casfions. tOn Ithe whole, howievei^, t)hey played a good game,but could' not beat the Llan- rwst defence, and half-time ended withouit a goal being scored. On restarting, Llanrwst carried the play into the Bay territory, and from a weak clearance Campbell, Archie Carter sent in a hot shot, which gave Hallwood no chance to save. This put the Bay upon their metal, and soon afterwards Matthews from a nicely-placed penal'ty kick equalised with a well-timed shot. MdOann then 'had several tries, and deserved to score, and with the ex- ception of a few breakaways by Llanrwst the play was mostly in the Llanrwst quarters. Aibout five minutes off time J. Ll. Owen put in a splendid shot, which, carried by the wind, just cleared the. net beyond the reach of the goalkeeper. The game thus ended with one goal each. The referee requested' the players to resume play for extra time, but Llanrwst refused.

GWYDR ROVERS v. FESTINIOG BLACK STAIRS. A mrtah between; the Gwydr Rovers and the Festiniog Black Stars was played at Llanrwst on Slatmxdtay, Mir R. P. Whit-taker aotinig as referee. Result: Rovers, 4; Festiniog, Z.

PENMAENMAWR URBAN COUNCIL TUESDAY EVENING.—Mr W. O. Jones, J.'P., presiding. COAST EROSION.—List of answers for the information of the Royal Commission on Coast Erosion were ordered to be supplied. FREE DELIVERY AREA.—Mr L. W. Home, replying to a request that t e sfcould reconsider the refusal of the London md P^crth- Western Railway Company to extend the boundaries of the free delivarv area in Pen- maenmawr to cover the Dwygy'fylchi or Cape- lulo area, stated that he had fully reconsidered the matter, and that further inquiries he had made strengthened his views that the case Was not one in which any extension should be made. In fact, taking into consideration the hilly nat- ure of Penmaenmawr. the present delivery boundary was a very liberal one, and it would not be reasonable to expect. the Company to do more than they were dmnrr at present. Mr R. D. Owen said the oily thing now to do was to ask the Company to provide an office for the reception and delivery of parcels in the Dwy- gvfylchi district. It.'was decided to lay this proposal before the Company with others which are under consideration. are under consideration.

I MR LLOYD-GEORGE AT OXFORD. "CLEAR THE WAY." Mr. Lloyd-George (President of the Board of Trade) and Sir F. C. Gould were on Saturday guests of the Palmerston Club. The president took the chair, supported by the principal of Jesus College (Dr J. Rhys), Mr A. E. W. Hazel M.P., and others. Mr W. G. G. Gladstone gave the toast of "The Liberal Party." Mr Lloyd-George, who was warmly received on rising to acknowledge the toast, said the Education Bill left the House of Commons with a good imajority to speed it on its way. What happened? It was stripped and wounded and left half dead, and I am sorry to say the. priest-s and the Levities did not even pass by (laughter). They joined the freebooters. They have not waited for the Samaritan to come round. They are having another go a, it now, I believe. They are trying to cover up some of the wounds, so as to minimise the impres- sion of the assault they had made upon it, and j possibily to make it difficult for the Samaritan to heal them (more laughter). But there it is. J As it stands, 'it is a Bill that the House of Com- mons cannot possibly accept (cheers). In my judgment, the conceskms which were made by Lord Lansdowne are more apparent than real. In some respects the Bill is worse after the i operations of the last day or two tlhan it was before. It does not seem to me that there is an honest desire to meet the wishes of the Con- mons of this country. I am, told there arc I other Bills, which, when they go up to the Lords J are to be .similarly dealt with. The Plural Voting Bill, I am told, they are going to ipass into the crematorium straight away. This is whit will say: it is essential to the good govern- ment of the country that the road from the people to the throne should be cleared 'cheers). It is intolerable that every petition of right that comes from Hhe people to their Sovete'^M should be waylaid and mutilated in this fashion. We mean to insist that the British, constitu- tion shall be interpreted impartiallly (cheers). This demand for a dissolution is practically a negation of democracy. Our opponents are destroying the British Constitution. Their general idea is that we, the people, are the enemies of the Constitution. Surely there are no greater enemies of the Constitution than the House of Lords. Ther^e is nothing but.: eternal Toryism possible if this demand be conceded, and in the interest of the spirit of the British Constitution we ought to make it perfectly clear that we are not going to tolerate I it (cheers).

I WATER FOR JERICHO I At the Ruthin Town Council, en Monday evening (Mr T. J. Rouw) presiding, a plan of the proposed line of pipeis in connection with the Birkenhead water supply scheme was de- posited for the inspection of the Council. Re- plying to a member, the Mayor said the pro- posed new works would only affect the borough in a very slight degree. They would touch ithe borough boundary at Perthi Farm, under- mine the Volunteer Rifle Range, and then go on to Jericho." Roars of laughter greeted the Mayor's re- marks. "Jericho" is a small cottage on the slope's of the Clwydian range, Which, will be touched by the water main,

THE UNIVERSITY OF WALES THE EYTON WILLIAMS' BEQUESTS. With reference to the legacy which was left by the late Mr Eyton Williams, Chester, to the University of Wales and the University College, Bangor, and to which it was at one time supposed that religious tests were at- tached, the standing Executive Committee re- ported to the University Court on Friday that, acting under counsel's advice, they had joined with the college in an effort to obtain the re- called probate, on the ground that a certain document hitherto treated as embodying the testator's intentions was improperly admitted to probate. The committee had agreed to the proposals of the executor's to invest in consols £ 20,000 of the estate, and to pay the smaller in full, and the remaining legacies, other than the legacies to the University and the College, to the extent of 75 per cent.-The report was adopted.

COLWYN BAY WATER SUPPLY THE COUNCIL READY TO On Tuesday a special meeting of the Ccaway; and Colwyn Bay Water Supply Board was heldi at Conway, the Mayor of Conway (Dr R. A. Prichard) presiding, to consider representa- tions from the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council concerning the deficiency in the pre* sent supply of water to the district. Mr Joseph Dicken, at. the request of ihq Chairman, stated the case for the Colwyn Bay Council. He said:—"I may as well bq frank, and without and beating about the bushi tell you that there was a special meeting held at Colwyn Bay last week to go into this wateq question. I may say that the new main wall not thou^t of when we met. We intended toi erect a reservoir in Colwyn Bay, which would give the town an eight days' supply. Our sur. veyor had got out an estimate of the cost, which was £ <26,000. 'We did not consider thisg was a very outside figure for a town iik4 Colwyn Bay, but the question was put "WoulQl it fill the pump-well y" Of course you kno-fflj that, we have just opened a pumping station to supply the higher levels, and'we can onlj) fill the pumps well during a few hours in thfl night, and the que.ion was put to the SUJVI veyor: "Suppose we put this reservoir dowq in the only position we can put it, should we b* able to fill it by gravitation? His rely was jj "It can be filled at nights; but only during certain hours of the night." We thought that! was fair and satisfactory, that we could gefl water, but we asked: "How long do you thinlg we shall be able to fill the reservoir by gravi- tation The Surveyor: "The longest wouldt be two years, and the latter part of that twaf years we shall have to turn off Llysfaen." That) was a great surprise to us ais a Council. Wq were prepared to spend B25,000, but to findl that it would only be of use for two years wag rather alarming for the Colwyn .Bay CouncU, and the question of the reservoir was immediot ately dropped. What was the use of having a reservoir that we could not fill? The Coun- cil having considered the question, came to tbef conclusion that it was the duty of the (Jowlydl Joint Water Board to give us water by mean4 of a new pipe line, and it was the unanimous! wish of the Council that we should bring thef matter before this Board. Even our old friend Mr William rDavies, who has alwaya favoured a reservoir, was brought round. Wa cannot go on much longer, it is a very seriouia matter, 'or we should never have thought off incurring the expense of a new reservoir. Wifif have been putting the matter off, but the tim<* has arrived when Colwyn Bay cannot do thatf any longer. I do not wish to use any threausi to this Board, but, it is a matter of life oil death with us. Don't take that as a threat, but it is a thing that Colwyn Bay intends, and is going to carry out. I know there has been a little ill-feeling at this Board, but there ha4 been no ill-feeling outside, and I hope that little ill-fellings here will die away. We are awarq that there are obstacles. There is the matter of the 12in. pipe line, and I was never morcj surprised in my life than I was at the suggest tion that the Provisional Order only permits 1Ut to put down one 12in. pipe line. If it comes tq a fight we shall fight. We suggest that t-hil Board should lay an additional 15in. main fronf the foot of the hill at DoIgitrrog. Mr Heenan said Air Chairman, as a strangew here, I would like you to state if there is anyt opposition from the Conway members, Surelyj there cannot be opposition. We do not tak«| your water. There is a lot. running to waster The Chairman There is no opposition oq the part of Conway or the Conway district- only in regard to the expense. Both thesw authorities do not see that it is incumbent upoQl them to pay. Qpr part of the agreement is tq carry the water to Sarn Mynach. Mr Hugh Hughes (Conway) Is it: not out oB place to talk about opposition now ? The Chairman It is a matter of expense. Mr Heenan That puts us on a. business foot" ing. The Chairman: Supposing that thilf new) main you want; is taken to Sarn Mynach, would you not want a new scheme ? Mr Heenan I think it is premature to an., Mver that question. The Chairman We are partners to a certain scheme to Sarn Mynach. Where do vou wanii the new main taken ? Mr Bevan We ask that it should be takenl to the boundary of the Urban District Couno cil. Mr Hugh Hughes (Colwyn Bay) To San| Mynach, in accordance with the present! scheme. The Chairman You will be in exactly th4l' Eame position. You cannot supply a largg town like Colwyn Bay from a pipe. Yoq cannot supply London, say Mr Dickon You can put Colwyn Bay in th4 middle of London, and not see it, you knoW,1 that. Mr Bevan then gave statistics showing th4 serioub position of Colwyn Bay owing to th. diminishing supply from the existing main. He also stated that at least 150 new houses werfll connected with the mains every year. A discussion ensued as to the amount off pressure on the mains at Conway Bridge, tha Chairman remarking it was lOOlbs at thq bridge. How did the* account fc its onljj being 501bs at Colwyn i>ay ? Mr Bevan said there must be some milk take. Mr Whalley (w;vt&rmeM, on being appealed to said that in the summer time the pressure at the bridge went down to 85 to 90. Mr Heenan said the pressure at one placg had nothing to do with the pressure at anothefl place. The night pressure at Old Colwyn waI not sufficient to fill any reservoir. The pipoi line was corroding and there there nodules off oxide of iron forming inside the pipes, whicbl were constantly decreasing the capacity of thai pipes. The shortness of water was already inter* fering with build ing operations and the present statue of affairs, if allowed to continue might result in an outbreak of disease and a panio. Mr T. B. Farrington the Board's engineer in answer to Mr Heenan, said that, his advicfl was that the Board should now carry out thai tscheme which he laid before them four or fiv* years ago, namely, to lay down a new maia from Dolgarrog, across the Conway, and along the main road through Talycafn to Glancon- wy, where it would be joined up with the existing main at Sarn Mynach. This would have the advantage that if anything went wrong with one of the mains they would be able tO- serve all parts of the district with the other., Mr J. W. Raynes pointed out thaffc they weref sMH uncertain as to their position with thq North Wales Power Company, who claimed certain rights at Cowlyd. They should hava these matters settled before they laid any ad- ditional pipes. Eventually, aftier a. long and lively discus.. sion, the Board decided to obtain the advice of the solicitor and of the solicitors to the Col- wyn Bay Council before proceeding further in the matter. It was agreed to hold anotheK special meeting at Colwyn Bay to-day (Thurs- day), when the solicitors should be present tct explain the Board's legal position.
