Llandudno Petty Sessions I LLANRHOS FARMER FINED FOR CRUELTY. WOMEN DRUNKARDS. These Sessions were held on Monday, Mr Kneeshaw (Chairman) presiding. The other magistrates- on the bench were 'Mr J. O. Thomas, Mr Adey Wells, Dr. Dalton, and Mr William Bevan. CARELESS PARENTS. Mr J. R. Jones, school attendance officer for the district, prosecuted a large number of par- ents for the non-attendance of their children at school. Against Alfred Greenacre, of Penirhynsidie, an attendance order was issued Alfred Bryan and James Woodman, of Llandudno, were each fined 2S. 6d. and costs; while John Finlay and John Jones, also of Llandudno, were mulcted in the sum of ss. each and the costs. CRUELTY TO A HORSE. Inspector George Henry Eakins, of the R.S.P.C.A., summoned Hugh Jones, Bryniau Farm, Llanrhos, for illtr-eating a horse, and Ro- bert Kidd, of the same address, for causing the same to be worked while in an unfit state. Evidence was given which showed that the horse in question, while in a very lame condi- tion, had been used in Augusta Street, Llandud- no, to draw a load of coal. The Inspector, upon examination, found a great deal of inflam- mation, which caused a partial dislocation of the fetlock joint. Indeed, the horse was so bad that it had to be unharnessed and taken to the nearest stable. The driver, in reply to the In- spector, said he knew the horse was lame, and that it had not been out before for several weeks. The owner, when questioned upon the matter, gave the same1 reply. Mr Evans Thomas, Llandudno, who appear- ed for the defendants, contended that there had been no intentional cruelty. They admitted the horse was lame, and the owner never used it ex- cept for very light work. The horse was a little worse that day on -account of an unsuitable shoe with which the animal had recently been shod. Both defendants gave evidence corroborating these statements. The Bench thought the case had been proved. Robert Kidd was fined is. and costs, and the case against the driver was dismissed on pay- ment of costs. MOTORING WITHOUT A LIGHT. Henry Edward Bonmallie, dental surgeon, Llandudno, was fined £ 2. and costs for driving a motor without a light. A BLACK-LISTER IN TROUBLE. John. Williams, of Back Madoc Street, de- scribed as a habitual drunkard, was charged with unlawfully buying beer at the North West- ern Hotel, he being a "black-lister." The -defendant, who had nothing to say in reply, was fined! £ 1 and costs. A WOMAN'S NINTH APPEARANCE. Jane Evans, of Lloyd Street, who made her ninth appearance in Court, was fined 5s and costs for an offence in Back Madoc Street on the 6th inst. HAD A DEAF MOTHER. Maria Griffiths, whose face was quite familiar to the magistrates, made some very lame ex- cuses. Superintendent Rees: She is charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct, on the 25th of November, your Worships. Defendant: Well, you see, I have to shout a great deal. I always shout when I am all right. (Laughter.) A Constable: She was very disorderly in her behaviour, your Worships—shouting all over the plaoe. Defendant: Well, I have to shout because my mother is deaf. It is only my way of shout- ing, sir. That is it, sir. I can't help it, sir. (Laughter.) The Chairman: But you can help drinking too much. Superintendent Rees (to the Chairman) This is the fifteenth appearance. The Bench imposed a fine of 10s and costs. For being found drunk whilst in charge of a horse and carriage, on the 17th of November, William Brislow, who was up for the fifth time, was fined 5s and costs.
