KING EDWARD MEMORIAL ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING AT LLANDUDNO. A public meeting was held in the Town Hall on Friday evening in support of the aational movement to perpetuate the mem- ory of King Edward VII. Mr E. E. Bone presided, and in opening the meeting he said he felt sure that all would agree that even if they were not compelled by loyalty and devotion to the memory of a great king, to enter whole-heartedly on the great cam- paign proposed to be launched to counter- Get the spread of consumption (applause). It would be difficult to find an object calling "I loudly for their most determined, dis- interested, and self-sacrificing efforts (ap- plause). Apart, however, from the impera- tive need, based on the principle of self- preservation, to be up and d&inn in adopt- ion every possible measure calculated' to stump out the fell disease, it behoved them to recognise the obligation and the privi- lege resting upon them, to honour in a worthy manner, by a memorial of a fitting and appropriate character, the rame and memory of their late sovereign King Ed- ward VII. (applause). Dr Dalton proposed the following resolu- tion —"That" this meeting of Llandudno heartily approves of the proposal that the Welsh national memorial should take the form of a canrpaign aga' nst the ravages of ronsumption and tuberculosis in Wales and Monmouthshire, and pledges itself to do all in its power by the, collection of sub- Bcriptions and by other means to further the movement." Eh" Dalton said that the suc- -g- of the scheme would be judged more by the number of individual subscriptions than by the amounts given. If all could be got to contribut-e no more grand or more lasting memorial could bp raised to the memory of a great king (applause). Councillor Jam^ Alarks said that meuicai men now s3,id that consumption was a preventable and curable disease, and it was possible that in the lifetime of "those in the Toom. if proper steps were taken. tuber- culosis would be as rare as small-pox or tvphus fcver (appla-nse). Personally, he thought that the erection c.f a- number of email sanatoria would be more effective than nf a laro-o one. but those details could be left to the committee.

THE OPENING 'CEREMONY. ^onncillor E. E. Bone, J.P., presided over opening ceremony. In a brief address, Chairman stated that when the site of Library was acquired, a mortgage of on the building had to be paid off in obtain the surrender of the lease, so Lord Mostyn might convey the site for the new building, which was gift of Mr Carnegie. The Council then kad 'n hand which Mr John Walker -rrj^\Ven for library purposes. This was iirn j j'0 the mortgage with £ 400 'ded by the Council.

BANGOR COUNTY COURT. FORMER LICENCE'S AFFAIRS. Tuesdav. beforeTiis Honour Judge Moss —Robert Flint, formerly licensee LaTHk°telvh>XX^ bank- rupt fn 1S09, with liabilities expected to rank amounting to £ 1,210. A dmdend o 3s 7d in the £ had been paid. The Ofhciai Receiver said the bankrupt started at the Larne Hotel in an insolvent condition. The debtor «aid he wanted his discharge because £ wanted to a situation, wh.ch he fonnd difficult because of his bankruptcy. He was not in a position to make any ■^ no prospect of doing so. The Official Re ceiver objected that the bankrupt had not sufficient assets to pay 10s in the £ lhe order asked for was granted, but suspended for two years. DRAPER'S APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE. Mr M E. Nee applied for an ordtc dis- charging 0. D. Jones, formerly a draper at Carnarvon. Replying to the Official Re- ceiver, the debtor "aid hid father gave him a sum of JMOO before he 4the debtor) mad3 a deed of assignment, and in addition, lent him another sum of B403. His father was a farmer. In addition he had about £500 from his mother. He was at present travelling, and had been for about 15 years. He made from 20s to 30s a week. He was a widower, and had five children. He had been living in London since his failure, working as a shop assistant. He bad saved no money. Thev wanted young fellows. Mr Nee said th-3 Official Receiver reported that the debtor had not enough to pay 10s in the C, had not kept proper books of I account, and that there had been a previous arrangement with creditors. With regar to the latter objection the debtor had paid 13s 4d in the £ about 20 years ago. As to the other accounts, the debtor had a lot of book debts v.hi. h he failed to realise, other wise lie wo-Id have bt en able to pay his credit vs. The debte: now was of middle age, and afflicted with rheumatism, and trammelled by his bankruptcy could only take situations on commission, but he thought he could g?t a permanent situation if he got his discharge. The trouble had been hanging over him for 15 years. His Honour made the order asked for, but suspended it foe- two years. A MINER'S COMPENSATION. William Thomas Williams, a miner, Ban- gor, claimed under the Workmen s Com- pensation Act, against William Pairy, builder, Bangor, in respect of injuries sus- tained by a fall of rock while in respondent's service. Mr Par.'v admitted liabilitv, and had paid the applicant's wages in full to the end of September, and also paid the charges of the infirmary at which Williams was treated, and had offered Williams light em- ployment at full wages, which the claimant had declined. Drs Lloyd and Locke, hon. consulting physician and house surgeon re- spectivaly, who had treated Williams, said that in their opinion the claimant's injuries were perfectly healed, and formed no im- pediment to the work offered to him. Mr Thornton Jones appeared for the claimant, and Mr Pentir Williams for respondent. His Honour found that complainant was able to do the work offered him on the 1st October, that he was now fit to do his own work, and ordered respondent's liability to be registered in case any subequent disablity occurred as the result of the accident, each party to pay their own costs.

A CHILD S DREAM OF CHRISTMAS. Cnristmas. How every child looks for- ward to the hallowed season. Scraping every penny and halfpenny possible, weeks and months before, and planning and scheming how best to spend it to best ad- vantage when the time comes. How they ply their parents with oft repeated ques- tions as to the residence and biography of their hero Santa CLaus. It. has been our pri- vilege to visit many Christmas Grottos, but never before has it been our lot to witness one on such a grand scale as that at Blacik- ler's Stores, "the Shopping Home of Liver- pool." in Great Charlotte Street, and which well merits the title A Child's Dream of Christmas." Here Fathei Christmas is at home to all little once from 9.30 every morn- ing. and greets each with a cheery word, while his attendant Fairies in their bsauti- -Itt fu,! illuminated sledges drawn by a fine toam of Reindeer, are busy bringing wonderful parcels of Toys, etc.. from snow covered Ivi's to all his little visitors.

50 YEARS OF SCHOOL RETIREMENT OF MR OWEN ROBERTS HOLYHEAD. (BY "AN OLD BOY "). How many memories of our schooldays are stirred in the lumber-room of our minds by tha announcement of the impending retire- ment of Mr Owen Roberts, headmaster of the Park Council Schools, Holyhead! For nigh upon half a century he has moulded the young minds of the boys of his native town, checking with kind, but firm, hand the tendencies to mis-shapenness, and en- couraging all efforts towards elegance and beauty of form in the minds he was de- veloping. The responsibility of helping the minds of the young to form, of guiding them in their first steps in life is surely a great one, and the best recompense for bearing it is the knowidge that the duty has foedn wt.111-performed, and that the fruits are worthy of the labour expended upon them. When Mr Roberts nrst began to teach the word "education" had not attained the dignity of being written with a capital "e," the administration of schools was not a fashionable cult, and for the most part the imparting of knowledge to the children of the working and lower middle-classes was not considered a paramount duty of the State, but rather depended upon the eager- ness of the parent and child, and the bounty of an enlightened but limited, section of the community which was in advance of the majority, and believed that a nation's great- ness depended on the advantages which its children enjoyed. That a man with the out-standing ability of Mr Roberts should have entered the teacliing profession and remained in it until he has made a high reputation shows that he must have been possessed of the highest ideals, great deter- minaton and strength of character, and a boundless belief in the bright possibilities of the future. All who know Mr Roberts will agree that these are his characteristic traits even to this day. Fifty years or leacnmg. would that Mr Roberts would write a book upon his ex- periences One can well imagine that it would be full of classical allusions, and apt quotations from the "Bard of Avon," for, apart from Mr John Burns, the writer knows of no-one who can so easily quote a phrase from Shakespeare as Mr Roberts, who must have all the great poet's work by heart. If Mr Roberts were asked to what he owes his elegance of speech and style of writing, one can imagine that he would first modestly deny the existence of any elegance and polish, but, on being pressed, he would and have not returned, and never will re- turn ah, well, they passed away, one fen- cies, the better for having been under his care. But it was not only as a teacher that Mr Roberts has excelled, he has done splendid things on educational bodies. He was the first member to be co-opted by the Anglesey Education Committee, and his counsel always receive the greatest consideration from the members of that body. As vice-- chairman of the Governors of the Holyhead County School he renders great service to the cause of local secondary education, and on many other bodies his presence is a great force for progress. As a member and officer of the N.U.T. he has done much for his profession, and in the local political world he is a tower of strength to the Liberal party. Indeed, there are few for- ward movements which he does not aid, and now that he will have more time and op- portunity to devote his great talents to the public service, it may be expected' that the public will benefit even more than in the past by the talents which he will be able to place at its disposal. Such men as he are greatly needed in public affairs; true to conviction, with an unshakeable fidelity to principle and yet with mind so broad and experience so mellow that one-sidednees is utterly impossible to him; calm and digni- fied in his dealings with all; full of the en- thusiasm which usually is found only in youth, and when combined with ripe ex- perience is the most precious of possessions, these, audi more, are the qualities which make one hope that the- life of Mr Owen Roberts will be a long one, and that he will live to see many of the ideals for which h« has striven realised in the fulness of useful- ness and beauty. Such will be the wish at all who know him.

CARNARVON GUARDIANS DISCUSSION REGARDING OLD AGEi PENSIONS. The Guardians met on Saturday under the presidency of Mr Thomas Jones. (In submitting the report of tne Visiting Committee, Mr E. R. Pritchard stated that the Master had given them a clear report as to how he exercised the Vagrancy Act. The committee recommended that he should do his utmost to detain the tramps in the house over Sunday, and submit a report en the matter. It was also recommended that he should not be allowed to purchase night dresses, to be worn by the tramps, whilst. their clothes were being dried and disinfec- ted, according to the order of the. Locai Government Board. — These recommenda- tions were adopted. It was decided to give the usual Christ- ma8 .feast to the inmates as usual. The ladv guardians (Mrs Nath. Roberts and Mrs Roberts) and Mr Rees Hughes were asked to undertake the necessary arrangements. --On the motion of Mr Henry Tarry. Car- narvon, it was also decided to allow all the out-door poor Is extra relief for Christmas. The children to receive 6d. These extra sums to be paid at the beginning of the last week of the month. OLD AGE PENSION. It was reported that there were in the house 27 inmates over 70 years oi age and 13 of this number had signed applications for the pension. Recommendations that each of those- who were certain to receive the .pension should receive 5s for the last week of the year, and that the guardians or the relieving officers should take care that these were installed in comforta.ble places after they vacated the house, were confirmed. Mr Frank Lloyd proposed that they should, or that the relieving officers, be in- structed to see- what the circumstances of those who left the house to live on the pen- sion were and ieport to the Board. Mr Charles A. Jones (illairman of the local Old Age Pensions oinmittee) ex- plained that he had; inquired of the autho- rities, whether the granting of medical aid to pensioners was permiesaible. According to the reply he received the guardians had a perfect right to assist in that way. He supported Mr Lloyd. An 'amendment tftiat they be leit on the saane Ifooting as the other pensioners was proposed by.Mx J. E. William's. In doing what was su^esfed he thought they would be aciting contrarily to the spirit of Mr Lloyd Gejouoe's Act. tMr T. W. Williams .said that if the in- mates eligible for the pension decided to leave the house, tihe gua.rdian.s. were al- lowed to give them medical assistance. But no other :assistance couid be extended to them.. Mr Thomas Jones Portdinorwic, support- ed the amendment. Mr Frank Lloyd explained that his mo- tion was not that these inmates should be under the supervision of the officials con- tinually, but only (for a. monith, so that a report on their circumstances could be sub- mitted' to the 'Board. 'Consequent to this explanation the amend- ment was withdrawn and the original mo- tion carried. Messrs T.

HORSES FOR GERMANY. EMACIATED. DECREPID, AND ILL. At Colwyn Bay Police Court on Saturday, William Westburv, a driver, was charged with working a horse while it was not fit to travel. William Rowland Jones, Glan to. wav the owner of the horse, was al>o charged. Mr E. Davies Jones, Llanrwst, defended.-A lady named Sophia C. Shewc.i, residing at Colwyn Bay, said that on November 16, she saw Westbury dnvrng three horses abreast in Colwyn Bay. The centre horse was very decrepit, and seemed very ill indeed. It staggered from side to side, and could not have got along at all but for the horses on each side of it. They prevented it bim failing. The defendant, Westbury, to whom she spoke, said he was taking the horse to a field, and she replied that it ought to have shelter.-Police-const- ble Holgate. who also met Westbury with the three led horses, ordered the middle one to be put in a stable, and not moved until it had been seen ibv a veterinary surgeon. Westbury told him he A-as taxing the animals to Abergele, where they were to be loaded in a horse-box for Hull, en route for Germany .James Rigby, a Llandudno veterinary surgeon, said that the horse was quite unfit to travel. The defendants gave evidence, as wel1 as several other witnesses, and it was admitted that the horse, having been put to grass owing to a previous complaint as to its condi- tion by the officer of the Roval Society, was sold to the defendant Rowland Jones. He sent Westbury with it to Abergele to be put on rail. i Rowland Jones was fined 10s and costs, and Westbury 2s 6d and costs. The Chairman said that the bench wished to point out that persons dealing in animals of this kind should be more careful not to cause the poor creatures unnecessary pain. Mr Davies Jones: It is clear that the bench is prejudiced by something outside the evidence. Nk J. Porter (the clerk) You have no right to say that.

FOOTBALL -0- WELSH SENIOR CUP. (Second Round). LLANDUDNO AMATEURS V. CAR- NARVON. Plaved at Llandudno on Saturday aiteinoon in dull weather. The visitors won the toss. Land got away, passed to Walter Joifes. and the latter to Tom Roberts, who kicked too hard for the left wing to gather the ball. Carnarvon had the advantage, and Stallaid effected a good save from Tom Roberts. The home right combined prettily, but Cleave failed when in a splendid position. The homesters were dallying with the ball and were often too slow for their opponents., Jimmv Williams did some brilliant work and beat four men in succession before centring to Cleave who shot widely over the bar. Land missed narrowly from a centre by R. H. Roberts. J. E. Williams put in a brilliant drive, which was cleared after a buily near the goal. The Carnarvon men then assumed the aggressive, but Tom Roberts placed wide. A foul against the visitors gave them an anxious time, but Cleave again failed when well placed. Walter Jones then did good work, and despatched a red-hot drive to Stallard, who saved magnificently at the expense of a corner, which was cleared. The Llandudno goal narrowly escaped through a misunderstanding. The game became very fast, and Jim Williams struck the post with a fine shot. the ball glancing behind—a lucky escape. Jones saved splendidly from J. E. Williams and Johnson. Llandudno were having most of the game, but failed to find the net. J. H. Jones was entrusted with a free kick, but shot over the bar. J. E. Williams was playing a hard game, but was fouled when going strongly for goal. Ben Morris shot wide from the ensuing free kick. The visitors pressed, but 11 were pulled up for "hands," and J. E. Williams getting possession forced a corner, which wa ■ cleared. The visitors' right wing dashed down, but were brought up for offside. When Carnarvon appeared dangerous Stallard emerged from goal and cleared to "Dan ,'Bach." who passed to his partner; the latter parted to Jim Williams, who dribbled well, centred to Cleave, but Jones partially cleared his shot. R. Davies rushed up and netted amid tremendous cheering. Hardly had the cheering died away when Tom Roberts dashed off, and beat Stallard with a rising shot, the ball glancing off the underside of the bar into the net. Jimmy Williams was next to the fore, and forced a corner, which Cleave nearly headed into the net, Jones took a. free kick, but the leather was charged' down. Half-time: Llandudno. 1; Carnarvon. 1. On resuming play, WSJter Jones was soon away, but Johnson intervened. R. H. Ro- berts nearly spelt danger and centred, but again Johnson relieved with a huge punt. Dan Davies dribbled down and passed to J. E. Williams, who centered to cleave, the latter failing to negotiate the ball. Dan Davies was fouled just outside the area. J. H. Jones tried again with a free kick, and this time was successful, the ball passing through into the corner of the net to the de- light of the home supporters. R. H. Roberts, of Carnarvon, put in telling work on the light and often troubled the home defence. A foul against Jack Brown looked ominous, but Morris cleared just in time. Dan Davies was often in the picture, and passed to his partner very neatly. The latter forced several corners, but the Carnarvon custodian saved two splendid drives from Bob Davies in as many minutes. The home left centred eventually but he saved again. Cleave got clear away, but he fell at the critical moment, and, rushing out of his goal, saved in the nick of time. J H. Jones con- ceded a corner, and after the scramble J. Jones, on the Carnarvon left, was fouled, and the goal had a narrow escape. Even- tually Walter Jones ran through and scored an excellent goal, thus equalising matters. R. H. Roberts was a source of trouble to the homesters, but Pearson stuck to him like a leech. The homesters pressed hard. but the visitors kicked out to clear their I lines. Cleave finished a good movement by heading just wide of the mark. Carnarvon then burst away and Tom Roberts was whistled offside when in a dangerous position. Walter Jones then dribbled down and sent a terrific drive, but Stallard was on the alert and cleared well down the field. Walter Jones again got through, when he was fouled by Jack Brown, but the ensuing free- kick was headed away by Johnson. George Williams receiving a neat pass then beat three men in his career and finished a few inches wide. A foul against Dan Davies i looiked dangerous but the home defence pre- I vailed. Jim Williams rushed away once I more, and forced a corner, which was neatly placed, but Carnarvon had no diffi- culty in getting the ball away. The Ama- teurs had several fine opportunities to score the winning goal, and J. I- W7illiams. who had only the custodian to beat, shot wide of the mark, to the disgu-t of the home supporters. Jim Williams dribbled woll on the Llandudno left wing, and after putting in good work succeeded in forcing a corne. off Jack Williams, the Carnarvon brJf-back. The corner kick was well placed, and a scrimmage took place in gonl-mouth. the ball appearing to be entering the net every minute. The home spectators urged on their "pets" vociferously, but all further attempts were void. and the close of hostilities was called before long. Final: Llandudno, 2; Carnarvon, 2. NORTH WALES COAST LEAGCE. (Division I.) HOLYHEAD v. FES01NI0G. The Holyhead team were visitors to Fes- tmiog on Saturday, and were beaten by three goals to one. The visitors' solitary goal was scored by Moseley JTmes. LLANDUDNO JUNCTION RKSERVES V. PEN M AENM A WR. Played at Llandudno Junction on Satur- day. Penmaenmawr have so far retained their unbroken record. The Junction attacked vigorously in the first minute of the game. but W. E. Hughes, the Penmaen- mawr right full back, cleared well. Pen- maenmawr responded and got down. R. Morris put in a good shot, Llew Parry, the home goalie, fisting out in grand style. The visitors got going, their forwards swinging the ball aJbout in pretty fashion. Neverthe- less, the final shot which came from Morris was more or less a surprise and it beat Llew Parry all the way. The Penmaenmawr men got through and Llew Parry stopped a giound shot from Morris, but only succeeded in putting the leather out to the left, and Caleb Williams centred. Sloane putting the ball into the net. It was an exceedingly clever goal, Sloane being with his back to the Junction goal when he got the leather in the rigging. R. Morris scored the third goal for Pen- maenmawr soon after the resumption of hostilities with a fine shot, which Llew Parry had no chance to save. E. dories, the home right full-back, ought to have cleared easily, but he missed his kick, with the result that the ball came across to R. T. Jones, who had the simplest task in the world to register No. 4 for the visitors. The visitors again ran up. and Llew Parry saved brilliantly, throwing himself full length on the ground to a shot from Caleb Williams. Whilst he wa- on +h,' ground, however. Sloane. the visiting inside-left, placed the leather in the net. A penaltv was awarded the Junction eleven on" of the Penmaenmnwr men handling within the penalty area but Ernest Parry, who was entrusted with the kick. placed the ball high over the h"r.

LIFE SS NOT MERE EXISTENCE, but the enjoyment of health. So says the Sage. To health, eat food which is palatable and nutritious. Look to the sweet course and see that it consists of good sotuid wholesome fare Ask yourself whether you are i:Ging .sufficient currants, which dre the most nutritious of foods, full of rule gra^ff sugar, and delicious to the taste. Do not restrict yor currant diet to Christmas pudding and such like excellent prepara- tions, which are used only during the festive season. Let currants enter into the daily bill of fare. It is so easy to make iirsh- -ias« dishes of currants. They are all good ;<! cheap, and are to be found in that excellent little Currant recipe book, which your grocer will give you free of charge on request. Try this ic.'ipe to-day.

LLANRWST SEWAGE CASE AiN EXPLANATION BY MR 0. ISGOED JONKS. (To the Editor of the "Herald"). Sir—Now that the proceedings I was compelled to take against the Llanrwst Urban District Council have come to an end, and I have obtained the Injunction I asked for against them, I think it right that the public should know that these proceed- ings were the result of the Council's refusal to ftifcke any terms with me in regard to the discharge of their crude sefwage into the River Conway opposite my property, with disastrous results to my estate, and which was in various ways thereby most injuriously affected. I am not fonder of law than the average citizen, and I certainly should not have re- sorted to it in the present case if I had not been driven to do so. Negotiations were of no use to the Council. They not only declined to admit the existence of a nuisance but they went so far as to contest my title to some portion of my land. The only alternative was this action which was started early in the present year Not so very long after the case was launched, or to be quite accurate, on the 26* April, » member o h Urban District Council called upon me and discussed the matter in a Îriendly way and of course, without prejudice, ana. he Tn., the impression that tie was anxiou. s- j t* the litigation. As a to see an end to tne nug { ot this interview I handed on ha 01 the same month • the ^ttarTwSic^ouM have saved the that have since been m- pnormous costs tnat nave cuS quite apart from the large sum of money' that will now have to be spent in reconstructing the whole ot the drainage svstem of the town. i The following were the actual terms subnfttted — 1 That the sewer outfall, at the southerly end of Plas dlSC°"; tinued, and that in lieu thereof the sewer be continued along the river-bank through Mr Isgotri Jones' land in a northerly direction until it joins Sewer No. 2 inter- cepting that sewer and continuing along the bank of the river still in a northerly direction and eventually forming one out- fall for both sewers into a. deep pool at the boundary of Plas yn Ore land with a tield known as Ddol Fawr. occupied by Mr Robert Rc^rts, in which case an an- nual rent of R) shall be paid by the Council to Mr Isgoed Jones for the joint easement, or 2. That a scheme be arranged after con- sultation between two or three of the ex- perts on either side for the proper treat- ment of the sewage at a point to be agreed between the parties so that the same be rendered harmless to the River Conway and to the plaintin s property, the out- falls 1 and 2 and the sewers therewith connected being only continued, if at all, for the discharge of the sewage so puri- fied, and 3. That the whole of the work be done under the supervision and to the satisfac- tion of Mr lagoed Jones' engineer or other expert, and that a formal easement be prepared or other document executed in a form satisfactory to Mr Isgoed Jones' solicitors for the maintenance of such sewers or outfalls, and 4. That in any event the whole of the costs and expenses incurred by Mr Isgoed Jones ba paid to his solicitors by the Council. For the sake of Llanrwst and district. and for the sake of showing Mr Isgoed anxiety to save the ratepeyars' pockets and not for any other reason he has considered the minimum limit of con- cessions which are comprised in the above terms. On the 14th of May the Clerk to the Council wrote ma direct that these terms were not entertained. The public of Llanrwst and nr-^M hood can judge for themselves whether in the circumstances I have acted unreason- ably. Whatever the costs amount to and whatever the expense of the scheme of re- constructing the drainage I shall have to pay my proportion as a considerable rate- payer in the district. I shall also have to pay a very considerable sum for the differ- ence between what are known as "taxed costs" and the total amount of the costs incurred by me. I have had no vindictive feeling of any sort or kind from the beginning to the end of this unfortunate dispute and if any evi- dence were required to show that I had no desire to punish my own town I think it may be gathered from the statement of mv leading counsel, Mr Romer. at the very close of the case, waen -*ir Justice Parker asked him whether he desired an injunction and damages, and he replied saying that I did not ask for both, and would be satisfied with an injunction only.-I am. etc., O. ISGOED JONES. Plas yn Dre, Llanrwst

DRINKS GRATIS 1 PECULIAR IT ELMS IN A CLAIM. The Carnarvon and District Perfect Thrift Building Society sought to recover at the Carnarvon County Court on Wednes- day, the sum of L6 15s Id from Mr D. Griffith Jones, Llanberis. According to Mr Richard Roberts, who appeared for the society, the defendant had received an appropriation of £,90 in the society. A house in Llanberis was given o security. Thø defendant kept the pre- Bcrlibed regjaynienta of sufofifcroptiona up regularly for some time. Eventually the society had to foreclose, and the amount now claimed was the amount of the ex- penses incurred through, the foreclosure. Concluding, Mr Roberts said that this was the first time his clients had to enforce payment of an appropriation in this way. (Evidence was given by the purchaser of the house. Mr John ûwen. the secretary of ihz so- ciety stated that he had made several ap- plications to the defendant for the' money I due before extreme measures were taken. Captain Jones Williams, the chairman of the directors of the plaintiff society, said the defendant had had plenty of chances to pay before the society foreclosed. lAtr Haimlet Roberts: What is vour posi- tion in this society ?—I am chairtna i of the ^T)o vou make valuations?—Occasionally^.

admit that if these qualities were to be fouiz, in his speeches or writings they were due to a close acquaintance with the poetry of the Old Testament, the Psalms, the Pro- verbs and Isaiah in particular, and to read- ing Shakespeare's works It is more than hinted that one of the things which the American educationists most appreciated in connection with the Moseley Commission was that they were enabled to enjoy the great pleasure of hearing the English language spoken in all its purity of idiom and edegance of diction, by one whose mother-tongue was Welsh Casting back to the time when the writer was at school, he recalls that Mr Roberts, in order to improve the caligraphy and grammar of the boys, introduced the prao- tice of compelling those who had omitted to perform their home-tasks to write out an explanation, instead of giving it verbally. For some of the backward boys there could be no more terrible punishment, for many of them could only after much mental agony and backhunching and rubbing-out produce a weird letter of which the following is a fair example — Dere Sur the Reason wy i have not dona my hoame-lesson is that i got no ink, an my mudder want me mind the babby, youres truly Both the excuses had been worn thread- bare, but no doubt the lad believed that by uniting the two he gave them on air of con- vincing novelty. Subsequent events usually proved that the union was neither convinc- ing nor fruitful of anything but corporal chastisement, but the same lad would write out the same old story day after day, with the inevitable result, until some more im- aginative fellow-culprit would, for a due measure of reward in the shape of chewing- gum or some other precious article of mer- cliandise, provide him with some sensa- tional story about his grandmother having swallowed a hairpin, or his little sifter (n any) having had convulsions, or some other startling and distressing event which could be relied on to compel sympathy and per- haps forgiveness from a great "over-lord" who appeared to have forgotten that football and fishing and marbles were serious duties to be carried out at any cost, even to the detriment of educational excellence. This, of course, is a digression, but it is one of the scenes which will come back vividly to the minds of the sons of "Hen Gaergybi" when they h<ar that their former mentor is retiring from the profession to which he has given such lustre. The "old boys" are scattered far and wide. for t.hsv have the sea in their blood and tne call of the distant lands appeals to them with great and compiling power. Be they in Bombay or Buenos Avres, in the Orient or Alaska, they will have a kindly thought for the one who taught them when the names of these places were but the fabric of boyish dream*, and now are the structures of many realisation. And those who have gone down to the sea in ships, i Mr J. R. Williams to adjudicate upon it. I After a hearing of 61 hours on Monday 2 afternoon, the case was adjourned until < half past nine on Tuesday morning. Mr W. Twigge Eliis, Llanrwst, was for the com- plafnant, and Mr J. J. Marks, Llandudno, for the defendant. Mr Phillips is a pro- minent tradesman and an active member of St. John's English Wesleyan Church, and in consequence of his social position great interest was taken in the case. The evidence for the most part was a repetition of what was given at the previous hearing. The only material addition in the com- plainant's evidence being that when Mr Phillips and her sister came into the kitchen where Mrs Phillips and herself were-at the time when she wrote down on a piece of paper that the defendant was not the father of her child—Mr Phillips sat beside her on on the sofa and put his arm around her waist, whereupon Mrs Phillips shouted, "Now, Will, don't forget yourself." De- fendant replied, "I can't help it." Mr Phillips characterised the statement as ridiculous, and Mrs Phillips denied it emphatically. On the other hand, Carrev Hughes confirmed her sister's evidence, and in cross-examination she declared that the child was like Mr Phillips. Percy Downing, manager of the Maypole Dairy, Mostyn-streat, said that the com- plainant called upon him one morning—he could not give the date—and showed him three or four pounds in gold and some silver. He did not know where she got the money from. James Owen, 20, Jubilee-street, stated that the last time he was with the com- plainant was about a week before Christmas. He had walked out three or four times with her, altogether. There had been no impro- priety between them. She was the most straightforward girl in Llandudno. Mr Phillips characterised the com- plainant's story as a pack of lies Defendant also stated that a sister of hers would have fathered her child on another prominent tradesman in Mostyn-streat. (whose name had bean previously mentioned in court) if the dates ha.d fitted in. Mrs Phillips, and others, supported the defendant's evidence in material parts, all being • epetition of vhat they gave before. The Bench dismissed the case, and the result, was greeted with gratification at Llandudno.
