BUTRIN. RUTHIN PENSION OFFICER AND THE BOARD OF GUARDIANS. To the Editor of the FRoEE PRS. Sir,—From the report of the meet-1 ing of the Ruthin Board of Guardians contained in your last issue, I extract the following :— The Pensions' Officer states that the cow in this case is worth £80 a year and the hens 14 10s each." This statement is entirely incorrect. As I write I have before me the actual figures, which show a gross profit considerably less than a quarter of the above amounts. For obvious reasons it is not possible for me, even if I felt so disposed,—which I do not-to eater into a public discussion of he merits or demerits of any case, but I think that when such erroneous state- ments—calculated to convey to the public a totally wrong imprèssion- ara made they should be publicly denied. One other point' I should like to I mention. In the discussion which followed the remark quoted, it II appears to have been entirely over- looked that each applicant for an old age pension, in the event of an adverse local decision, is entitled to I appeal to the Local Government I Board, whos deciion is final. In the case referred to, applicant took advantage of this legal right and obtained the decision of the final authority. The personal references I dis- regard. PENSION OFFICER.

WAR MEMORIAL MONUMENT ADVOCATED. To the Editor of the FRED PRESS. Dear Sir,—I am writing on behalf of my friend and myself. We are both Ruthinites and I must &ay that we both agree with Mr Ellis Williams with regard to the War Memorial for the Boys of Ruthin and district, and I think it should take the form of a Monument on the Square. A New Town Hall, also Swimming Baths, are things that have been wanted in 1 Ruthin for many years and should come out of the rates. A stained window as someone suggested is out of the question altogether, as it would br. ooked upon as too muca the pro- party of whichever Church or Chapel it would be placed in, and in that case would not be fair to the other churches and chapel3 also a tennis court would not do; let those who want a tennis court form a clnb to get one. Why sheuld our brave boys give up theii lives for othera to have a pleasure ground ? The trees mentioned would very much improve the streets mentioned. If the Monument is cho3en I for one will willingly give at least £ 1 Os Od out of my small savings, but if either of the others are chosen I shall not feel disposed to give anything. I have brothers of my own who have done their bit, but I would not like to think they had given their lives for others to reap pleasure from it.- Yours truly, A RUTHINITE. Liverpool. 25/2; 19.

MUSICAL SUCCESSES. We have every reason to be proad of the record of several of our leading local ohozistera in quite recant achievements. Only a fort- night ago it was oar pleasure to fiad that our local tenor impressorio, Mr John Williams, was selected to sing for two nights at the Winter Concerts of the Llandudno Pavilion Company, where hie effozts were so successful in obtain- ing very warm recogaiticn, hia interpretation being agreed upon as almost perfection. A few days following anoiber of oar looal favoar- ibee, Mr Gwi'ym Dowell, WAS offered the privilege of deputising at the Pavilion for a well known Beecham Opera soloist, who was unable to appear. Suffice it to say thab alt his work was thoroughly acceptable, each iboua being wall enoored. And now cooisa the announcement that another notable Rubhin- born vocalist, Mr Furneas Williams, Is to take parb under the same auspices ao the St David* Celebration. Very few, if any provlnsiai town? of liko dimensions can be singled out in the possession of such a galaxy of soloists, and the town is to be heartily congratulated not only for Its musioal atmosphere but the record of oapable artistes. ■■ ■' ■ »- —

Ruthin PdUca Gsupt MONDAY,—before MrG H Dsn ton (in the chair), Col Saxon Gregaon Ellis, Major E W Tate, Messrs Stanley Weyman, TO Jones, T II Roberts, H H Springman, J K Williamson, and Henry Hughes. TRANSFER GRANTED. The application last Court for the transfer of the Park Place Hotel, Ruthin, from W H Hodgkiason to Mrs Watkins, of the White Horse Inn, St Asaph, was adjourned, to ascertain when a new tenant would take possession of the latter house. Mr A 0 Evans now announced that the new licensee of the White Horse would take it over on the 1st of March, and this was confirmed by Mra Watkin3. The transfer was then granted. OASES ADJOURNED. Some cases arising out of fat stock grading at Ruthin, owing to the ill- ness of a witness, were adjourned to j a future court. NEGLECTING SHEEP SCAB. Owen Roberts, Cefn Bannog, 0' Clocaenog, was summoned for not reporting sheep scab on his farm. P.C. Thomas, Clawddnewydd, said he visited the defendant's farm on the 31st of January, and suspected four sheep of being scabby. They were subsequently examined by a Veterinary Surgeon, and his certifi- cate testified to the presence of the Icab. The defendant said he did not know scab, and was quite unaware of its presence. He thought that the stitep lost their wool by breaking through the hedges. c P.O. Thomas, in answer to the bench, stated that the affected sheep were now isolated. The Bench fined defendant 5s per sheep, and stated that future cases would be severely dedlt with. Robert Roberts, Plas-yn-blan, Efenechtyd, was charged with a similar offence. His plea also was one of ignorance, and the Veterinary Surgeon in this case testified that the scab was not so extensive as iD the other one. The Bench considered that there was some doubt in the matter, and gave the benefit t3 the defendant. The charge was therefore dismissed. FURTHER ACTION TAKEN. The Justices further decided 'to bring the matter to the notice of the Chief Constable of the County, who is the Chief Inspector under the Coiitagioua Diseases of Animals Act, with the view of communicating with the Merionethshire Police. NO LIGHT. Idris Jones was fined 7s Gd for having a carriage on the road late at night without a front light. Defendant said he left home with two full candles, but, owing to the frosty state of the roads, he was greatly delayed, and, being a moon- light night, he did not notice that C> the lamhad gone out.—P.C. Ellis was the informant. NIGHT AFFRAY AT LLANFAIR. ROW BETWEEN NEIGHBOURS. John Jones, Peayffordd, Llanfair, summoned Owen Owens, Castell; Ellis Williams, Old Gate House, Llandegla; and John Owen, a soldier, for assault and battery on the 3rd of February. There was also a cross-summo is by Owen Owens against John Jones. Mr T Garth Jowes appeared for Jones, and Mr A 0 Evans for the other men. Mr Garth Jones said complainant, John Jones, was a farm servant, and lived within a mile-and-a-half to two of the defendants. At 11 oiclock at night on the 3rd ult. complainant and his wife prepared to go to bed, when a knock came at the door. Gn -opening Jones was told by John Owen that somebody wanted to see him on the road. Jones went out- side, and immediately afterwards two other men—Owen Owens and Ellis Williams—came out of a hedge and made for him. They got hold of him, dragged him to the gate, and a struggle lasting 15 minutes, in the course of which Jones was severely beaten followed. It was a most un- provoked assault. The complainant supported his solicitor's statement. Cross-examined by Mr Evans Witness denied that he was of a quarrelsome disposition, or that he was fond of too much drink. He had not been refused drink in the local public houses, nor ordered to keep away from them for the reason suggested. It was 11 o;Clock at t5c,, night when the assault was com- mitted and not 9. He had a dispute with Owen Owens about 10 months ago. He then struck Owens on the nose, but it was in self-defence, and aincs then thay had not been, partieularly friendly. f Mrs Jones gave ovidence in sup- port of her husband's statement. P.C. Roberts, Llandegla, called for the defence, said Owen Owens was a sober, industrious, steady, and straighforward man—in fact a good hearted individual, but John Jones was of a quarrelsome disposition. About seven months ago witness saw Owens with two black eyes, his face very much swollen, and arm badly bruised. This was the result of a bother between Jones and him. Jones said to witness that he would murder Owen the next time he saw him. Cross-examined Witness said he himself had no complaint to make against Jones, but had heard enough of him (laughter). The three defendants also gave evidence, all swearing that no assault was committed on Jones. They went to his house at 9 o'clock with the sole object of re-establish- 0 ing friendly relations between him and Owen, and Ellis William! had been asked to be one of the par y, because he was the most likely per- son to get the parties to shake hands and let by-gones be by-gones. When Jones entered the road, h9 at once made for Owen and tried to strike him, and all that Owen did was to take hold of his coat. Nothing more was done. Mr A 0 Evans urged that Owen had really been going about for months in fear of complainant, and the visit to his house was solely in order to make them friends again. The Bench dismissed the charges against the three defendants and bound John Jones (the complainant) over in the sum of £ 10 to keep the peace for 12 months. -H_-
