To be stung by a Jelly Fish is not a pleasant experience, and may prove very troublesome unless you have Homocea handy to apply, when all pain and swelling instantly vanishes. Homocea is an invaluable remedy at the Seaside should be used for Sunburn, Blisters, Wasp-Stints, and all kinds of Insect Bites. Use also for Cuts, Burns, Toothache, Rheumatism, and all Skin Troubles. It will stop an Influenza Cold like magic. BLAIR ATHOL, HOYLAKE. "Dear Sirs,—On the 17th of June, which I think was one of the hottest days of the year, I spent the day on Hilbre Island, and was unfortunate enough to get my feet sunburned and bally stung by Jelly Fish. By the day following my feet had swoollen and were inflamed to such an extent that I was quite unable to stand on them. For a week I treated them with carron oil, hazeline, and hazeline cream without any satisfactory results. I then thought I would try 'Homocea,' I persevered with it, and after applications at intervals during 24 hours, I was agreeably pleased to find the swelling and inflammation rapidly disappearing. After two days use of it I was able to stand, and now, with the exception of a little weakness about the ankles, my feet are all right again.-Yours truly, E. S. SMYTH." If 'Homocea' had been used at once a whole week's suffering would have been saved. Homocea is sold by all Chemists at X/1 and 2/9 per box; or can be had direct from the Homocea Co., ax Hamilton Square, Birkenhead, J J Sold in Colwyn Bay by Edward Lloyd, Conway Road.

Humphrey Griffiths, Albion Vaults, Conway, was charged with serving- a drunken man (James Rowlands) with beer liquor.-Superimendelll H. D. Williams prosecuted, andMrR. S. Chamberlain defended.-P.C. John Griffiths (52) spoke to finding James Rowlands drunk, at 9 o'clock on July 7th, with a hall-full glass of beer in front of him. Mrs Griffiths, the licensee's wife, admitted that he had been served.-P.C. E. W. Parry (20; said that at 8.40 and at 9 o'clock on the evening in question he had seen James Rowlands very drunk.—For the defence, Mr R. S. Chamoeriain contended that James Rowlands did not exhibit obvious signs of intoxication, and, were it not that Rowlands was notoriously often drunk, he would have asked the Bench to find that it was not proved that Rowlands was intoxicated. — Mrs Mary Hughes said that she was in the Albion when James Rowlands came in she thought ttiat he was sober. She had often seen him drunk. Cross-examined, the witness said that, replying to P.C. Griffiths, Mrs Griffiths had said that she was sorry she had noticed that Rowlands was drunk.- John Jones, plasterer, Conway, said that he was in the Albion when Rowlands was served, and he thought that he was sober. Cross-exam- med, the witness said that he had had might-be three or tour glasses of beer previously that evening, or possibly six or seven. He was, nevertheless in a state to say whether a man was sober. — The Bench found that the police were quite right, but, as this was the first offence at a house previously well-conducted, the Bench, taking ail the circumstances of the case into con- sideration, inflicted a fine of only 15s and costs, and ordered that the license should not be endorsed.—Against James Rowlands, who did not appear in answer to a summons, a warrant was issued. HAWKING WITHOUT A LICENSE. James Rowlands, Conway, who did not appear, was charged, by Mr Esther, Inland Revenue Supervisor, Rhyl, with hawking without a license. —P.C. Rowlands (42) proved the chat-ge.-The Bench inflicted a fine of £ ,2 5s and costs, the pen- alty to cover the cost of a license to be issued. CRUELTY TO A DOG. William Williams, Ty-Gwyn Cottages, Conway, pleaded guilty to cruelly ill-treating a clog.-P.C. E. W. Parry (20) said that he saw the defendant holding the dog by the tail, and knocking it about. He found the dog badly injured when he visited the defendant's house, in the company of the prosecutor (Inspector Pocock, I-S.P.C.A.-Tiie defendant said that he was not holding the dog by the tail (lor it had none), but by the ear.— Inspector Pocock said that the dog had a very long tail.—The Bench fined the defendant 10s and costs, the alternative sentence being fourteen days imprisonment.- The fine was not paid. CRUELTY TO DUCKS. Ann Hughes, Aberffraw, pleaded guilty to cruelty to ducks. Inspector Pocock ^R.S.P.C. A.) said that on June 30th he saw at Llandudno Junction, a basket containing nine ducks, and, on inspecting- them, he found that one was dead, and that one of the others was the worse for want of room, and died shortly afterwards. The defen- dant had taken three ducks out when spoken-to. He asked for the smallest penalty, as the defen- dant had been very civil and had at once done all that she was told to relieve the birds. I lie Bench (fined the defendant is and iosgd costs. Mary Smith was charged with cruelty to ducks, on July 7th.-Inspector Pocock proved the case, and said that thirty ducks and one fowl were crowded into a crate two feet by four feet inside measurement. She had given him the name of Mary Smith, but she had given P.C. Parry the name of Ann Hughes, Rhosgoch. — P.C- Parry (20) corroborated, and said that he had to go on the train some distance before the defendant would give her name. — The defendant said that the crate was constructed to hold three dozen.- The Inspector Yes, three dozen fowls, not ducks.— The Bench fined the defendant 10s and 10s 3d costs, and then proceeded to hear charges against the same defendant, now charged as Ann Hughes, of overcrowding two other hampers on July 17th. —Inspector Pocock gave details as to the dimen- sions of the baskets in question, and of the number of ducks in each basket. The baskets were covered with sacking. The defendant re- fused her name and address. P.S. Rowland (10) corroborated, and said that the defendant first told him that she came from Llangefni and afterwards that she came from Gwalchmai.— Thomas Henry Davies, railway-porter at Llan- dudno Junction, said that he unloaded the baskets at the request of the defendant, whom he heard say that they were hers. — The defendant now denied the ownership of the baskets in question. and the Bench inflicted in each case a fine of 5s and costs.The defendant, in answer to the Bench, said that her name was Mary Smith, she was the wife of Fred Smith, and she lived at Aberffraw. SPECIAL SESSIONS. CONWAY, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3rd.-Before the Mayor of Conway (chairman) and Morris Jones, Esq. A SERIOUS CHARGE OF FRAUD. Mary Williams, Ty Moel Cottage, Llanddulas, was charged with attempting to obtain money from the London and North-Western Railway Company by false pretences.—Mr Fenna, who prosecuted, said that the prisoner had attempted to get L i I tos. 8d. from the Company as com- pensation for clothing in a box alleged to have been lost by the Company. She had stated that on April 19th she travelled from Colwyn Bay to Llandudno by the 1 26 p.m. train, and that she carried the box to the station from Mrs Starkey's, Meirion Villa, Colwyn Bay, and that it was labelled by the porter. She had alleged that at the Junction she asked the porter to put the box in the Llandudno train, and that on arrival at Llandudno it was not there. She had alleged that she complained to Mr Morgan, the station- master, but that was not correct. She complained- to the parcel-clerk, and eventually filled up an "inquiry notice." On April 28th she wrote to Mr Neale, the District Superintendent, setting out her loss, and that she wanted her box before going to a situation at 12, Gioddaeth-Crescent. Llandudno. Mr Neale sent her a form to fill up, and this was put into the hands of Detective Thompson, on the 8th June, to investigate. Thompson saw the prisoner at Llandudno, when she made additional statements. The detective found that the prisoner was in service at 12, Madoc Street, under the name of Jane Williams. He went to Colwyn Bay and saw Mrs Starkey. who said the prisoner only stayed there about an hour, and that she had no large box. On J unc 9th, Thompson saw the prisoner again, and told her he thought her claim was a false one. She said, It is a lie." On making further inquiries it was found that the prisoner was, on April 12th. in service with a Mrs Willis, at Rhyl, and left suddenly. She was taken from Llandudno to Rhyl on April 25th, where, in consequence 0' certain proceedings, she was lost sight of for time. But the box remained with Mrs Willis unti- April 30th, when the girl's mother and two sister^ fetched it away to their home at Llanddulas, a'11 there remained until May 30th, during all the tim<- that she was making false statements. A lette' would also be put in that the prisoner wrote to her sister, thanking her for keeping the boxes. The prisoner had written to the Company, asking' forgiveness, but the case was such a bare-face^ one that it could not be passed over. Evidence was given by Superintendent H. D. Williarill, Detective Thompson, Mr Morgan (the statlold master at Llandudno), and other witnesses, all i the prisoner, who cried bitterly during the hearing of the case, was committed to the Quarte Sessions.
