PRESTATYN PETTY SESSIONS. WBDNESDAY, September 28th, 1889. Before Lieut.-Gol. Standish Bore (in the chair), Mr Ll. Lloyd and Mr W. Wynne. A LICENSE FOR NANT HALL. Mr Edward Roberts, solictor, of Rhyl, said that in this case he appeared to make an appli- cation in the place of his friend, Mr C. W. Bell, who would be a witness. The application, which was on behalf of Mr Henry David Pochin was for a license to sell wines and spirits at Nant Hall. He (Mr Roberts) was perfectly aware that ib was the policy of the Bench rather to reduce than increase the number of lioensea. Still there were exceptions to all rules, and be thought that in a rapidly rising place and in such an important town as Prestatyn would be- come this was certainly an instance in which an exception should be made. And really and truly if anyone was entitled to a license it was Mr Pochin, and the hous6 was likely to be a great acquisition in the neighbourhood. He would now call evidence to show that all the preliminaries connected with the application had been complied with. Mr C. Bell stated that he produced the notices signed by Mr Poobin, copies of which had been served upon the overseers and superintendent of police. Thomas Parry, assistant overseer of Meliden, proved the rateable value of Nant Hall to be £45 tor the house alone. David Thomas, Glas Farm, in the employ of Mr Pochin, produced copies of the notice which he placed on the Church doors of Meliden and Prestatyn on the 20th of August. The notice on Meliden Church was on the doors before ten in the morning and till five in the afternoon. He could not, speaking from his own knowledge, say whether the notice remained on Prestatyn Church but he had a witness who could. Thomas Waterhouse, bailiff in the employ of Mr Pochin, gave evidence as to the dates on which the notice was affixed to the front door of Nant Hall. The statute required that it should be on two Sundays before the making of the ap- plication, and it was posted up on the 14th and -22od of September. Mr U. W. Bell then proved the publication of the notice in the Rhyl Journal, a paper circu- lating in Prestatyn, as did also the County Herald, which likewise contained the notice. Mr W. Bell, in reply to the Bench, said that Mr Poohin wished to convert this place into a first-class private hotel. He hoped to get some respectable tenant for it, but at present the place would be carried on in his own name. Mr Lloyd: To provide a class of hotel that does not exist at the present time P Mr Bell: Yes; there really is no bouse of the character at present.: The Clerk: What name will it go by P Mr Ed. Roberts: Now give it a good Welsh name. Mr Bell: I suppoee it will be called the Nant Hall Hotel. The Clerk: Is there anyone to object to this application ? Mr O. W. Bell said:be had heard of no objec- tion, and more than that, the owner of the best house in Prestatyn had told him that he hoped the license would be granted. Superintendent Hughes said he had no objec- tion. Mr W. Bell then gave some description of the accommodation provided by the house, after which The Chairman announced that the license would be granted. EXTENSION OF HOUBa. Mr Costigan, of Bodfor Street, Rhyl, appealed for an extension of hours to four o'clock on Thursday, the 26th of Ceptember, on the oc- casion of a dinner for the railway men. Mr Wynne asked whether a shorter time would not do. If they granted the application in this case it would place them awkwardly if they wished to refuse others that might come after. Mr Costigan replied that the supper would not begin till ten, after the mail had left. Mr Wynne did not think that there were many men about for the mail. Anyway, it would be better for the men themselves not to remaia so long. The Bench deoided to allow the extension till two o'olock. JURY LISTS. The magistrates then received the jury lists from the assistant overseers of Dyserth, Gwaen- ysgor, Llanasa, Meliden, and Newmarket. Per- sons who were known to be ignorant of English were struck off the list. The list for Gwaenys- gor had not been signed by the overseers and churchwardens, but by the assistant overseer in their behalf. It was suggested that this ir- regularity might void the whole list, but the Clerk pointed out taat as the names had been published on the Church doors and no objections bad been raised, it would be useless for any to quibble hereafter. Another assistant overseer wished to omit the name of a ratepayer who is gomg to leave the neighbourhood for six months, but the Clerk said that that could not to be done, ihe man would have to attend if he were summoned, wherever he might happen to be. LAPSING OF A LICENSE. As there was no application to renew the license of the King's Head, Meliden, the Bench decided that it would drop, Mr Lloyd observing that it was a very good thing as it would make up for the license they had created. PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. Thomas Roberts, of Bodfari, was summoned by Ellen Hughes, eirgle woman, of Llanasa, to shew cause why he should not contribute to. wards the support of her female child, born in May last. The parties belong to the humbler classes and the alleged intimacy took place whilst they were in service together, but as there was an entire absence of corroborative evidence the case was dismissed. Defendant did not appear, but the Clerk remarked that his absence did not make evidence. There had been several love passages between the youth and the girl and one of the letters which had passed was produced. It was in the vernacular, and there was no one in court who could read off a free translation: the Superintendent of the police subsequently deciphered a portion of it, and read it out, but it oontained nothing very material to the case.

THE TITHE WAR IN FLINTSHIRE. RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS AT GWAEN- Y800R. Mr. Earnest A. Craft, auctioneer, returned on Saturday to levy distraints for tithe iu the parish of Gwaenyscor, Flintshire, he having had to abandon the work earlier in the week owing to the threatening attitude of a crowd who had been collected together, whilst he had been locked up as a prisoner in one of the farmhouses. The feeling in this small rural parish, with a scattered population, is very intense, and owing to the prevailing excitement Mr. Craft was on this ocoasion accompanied by an escort of half- a-dozen policeman. They drove into the village, which is situated on the hilltop overlooking Prestatyn, at ten o'clock, and their arrival was at once announced by the firing of a signal gun and the blowing of horns in various parts of the parish. Hafod farm was firat visited, and when Mr. Craft reached the spot a orowd of persons had congregated on each side of the gateway, whilst others had perched themselves upon the gate. As it was impossible under the circum- stances to open the gate, the auctioneer endea- voured to olimb over it, but the men orowded together and prevented him, aod Mr. Craft left Hafod without effecting a distraint. He returned to tbe village, followed by a hooting and yelling crowd, and on his way be was etruok with addled eggs. Entering their conveyanoe the party drove to Graig, a large farm between Newmarket and Rbyl. The crowd, anticipating the move, took a short cut, and reached the farm before the trap, that when Mr Craft and his escort arrived they found that a heavy farm cart had been backed up to the gateway, and the crowd had taken possession of tbe gate. After several attempts to effect an entrance, during which he was justled and elbowed with no little force, Mr Craft succeeded in entering the farmyard, fol- lowed by a jeering crowd. No distraint was made in their presenoe owing to their threaten- ing attitude. Mr Ellis, the tenant of the farm, was ignorant of the action of the crowd, whose proceedings was discountenanced by him. On returning from Graig the party had to drive along a narrow lane, and found that a plough, field gates, and large boulder stones had been placed on the road to impede their progress. These the police bad to remove before Mr Craft's vehiole could proceed. The road was completely blocked in several places with an evident design of upsetting the trap. The next visit made was to the Mostyn Arms, Newmarket, where Mr Roberts, the landlord, paid the tithe demanded. On returning to Gwaenyscor crowds of persons were seen congregated on the hilltops, and it was considered prudent, owing to the angry feeling exhibited, to quit the parish for the day. In the adjoining parish of Llanasa 15 or 16 distraints were made without attracting any notice. After Mr Craft's first visit to Gwaenyscor a scandalous outrage was found to have been committed in the church, whioh is one of the oldest ecclesiastical buildings in the diooese. During Wednesday night a large t-tone was thrown through the fine chancel window, which was completely smashed, the stone being thrown with such violence that pieces of the glass were found in the church a dozen yards away from the window. We are glad to hear that the report as to the chancel window being brok n appears to have been greatly exaggerated. None of the stained glass was injured, but a square of ordinary plain glass.

RHUDDLAN. INTERESTING WEDDING. The ancient town of Rhuddlan was en fete on Monday last, celebrating the marriage of Mr Robert Williamp. of Bodlondeb, Tal y Bont, near Baogor, to Miss Catherine Anne Owen, step- daughter of Mr Peter Edwards, New Inn, Rhuddlan. The marriage ceremony was per. formed by the Rev. T. W. Vaughan, vioar of the parish, and the bridesmaids were Miss Edwards, New Inn Hotel, and Miss Stevens Tanymarian, the bridegroom bliing accompanied by Mr Wm. Williams, Bodlondeb, and Mr Wm. Price Smith, of Bangor, After the wedding breakfast, the happy pair left Rhuddlan amongst Bhowera of rice and the good wisbesjof numer us friends to spend their honeymoon at West Kirby. Mr Roberts (Bodran) being on a visit to Rhudd. lan, oomposed the following lines on the occa- sion :— 0 chime, sweet bells, thy merry peals O'er Clwydian Hills in pride, Forth from Rbuddlan's old church door Comes bridegroom and his bride. The cannons roar, and flags are seen r Like swallows in the air; Hearts rejoice: hark, 'tis their voice— God bless the happy pair! May health and wealth and happiness Surround them through their life, And sunshine in their future home, To comfort man and wife. Heart to heart, band in hand, In harmony together, None but death that bevers all Can sever them for ever.

DISASTROUS FIRE AT DENBIGH. Early on Tuesday morning the large candle and oil works at Denbigh, belonging to Mr Boaz Jones, a member of the Denbighshire County Conncil, were discovered to be on fire. The pre- mises had been left in safety on Mondav night by Mr Jones's son. On the alarm being giv -n tho fire brigade was quickly on the spot, and Itrge orowds gathered. The flames caused by the oils, wax, fat, &c., with which the works were stocked, were most terrific, lighting the country for miles around- All hope of saving the building or its content soon had to be aban- doned, ard the brigade laboured with good effect to save the adjoining property, which for a long time was in great danger. Mr Jones's works, inoluding all the stock and a large quantity of valuable machinery, was destroyed, merely the walls and the chimney being left standing. The works have not long been built, and most of the machinery was new, some of it not having been used. The loss is mostly covered by insurance.

GENERAL NOTES AND JOTTINGS. Many will be glad to know that the memorial to the late Bishop Hoghes is progressing apace. It will be remembered that it was at the annual meetings of the St. Asaph Dioo<'san Board of Education that Mr J. Soott-Bankes, proposed that it would be a fitting Memorial of tie late Bishop, who took a deep interest in the Religious Education of the Diooese, to make his prize a permanent one in his name. It was resoived, ou the motion of the Earl of Powys, eeoonded by Sir Pryce Pryce Jjnes, that Mr Bankes, suggestion be adopted, and that the Secretaries of the Board act as Secretaries, and the Treasurer as Treasurer for this object. It is thought that a sum of 1160 will be sufficient for the purpose. Among the subscriptions already announced there are ten pound notes from Lords Trevor and Powis five pounds from each of the follow- ing: Lord Harlech, Mrs Towtshend Mainwaring Lady B. A. Mostyn and Major Oorbet Windor three pounds from Mr E. Peel; two guineas each from Mr E. A. Luxmore, Mr S. Boose, Bev. John Wynn, Mr D. H. Mytton, and Col. West, M.P.; and one guinea each from Col. F. Stand- ish Hore, Rev. H. E. Heaton, Mr T. Bate, Mr J. C. Edw rds, Mr A. T. Roberts, Rev. T. J. Hughes, Coi. H. M. Joijea-Moi timer, Miss Mytton, and Rev. T. Richardson; one pound each from Messrs. H. R. Sandbach, W. Overton, Rev. D. Grimaldi Davies, Miss Burton, and Canon Howell; and 10s. 6d. from Canon Lewis and is. from Rev. D. W. Evans. Nearly 170 has therefore been subscribed but that is barely a moiety of what is required. Those willing to assist in making up the sum required should send their subscriptions to KrtR. J. bisson, St. Asaph. Mr Meredytb, the organising agent of the Conservative party in North Wales is making arrangements for a vigorous politioal campaign in this part of the Principality during the coming winter. This is just what is required and it is to be hoped that some really first class speakers will be engaged. By the way it will be seen that Sir William Haroourt the politician who has for the last three years been stewing in Parnellite juice, as he called it, is to be at Oarrarvon next month, doubtless with the intention of doing his best to diss1 pate the wholesome influence of Lord Salis- bury's famous speech in the same town. It is reported, but bow far true I cannot say, that the London and Sorth Western Ra Iway Company have succeeded in carrying their plans for the Lew station and roadway at Prestatyn. As to the desirability or otherwise of the site eelected by the company nothing need now be said; but it is certain that a new etation is urgently required. The present structure is a disgrace to the company, and dangerous and in. convenient to the public. Other places of not half the importance have comfortable and modern booking stations, whilst Prestatyn has too long been put off with its present barn-like buildings ard wretched platform. The RhylJJ Pier like other local enterprises has bad a fair share of the patronage of the visitors this season. The structure is still in the market, and undoubtedly offers a splendid opportunity for go-a-head c\pt'tlists. Were an energetlo company to take the Idfair in hand and extend out to deep water, it is thought that the New Rhyl people would have great confidence if they imagined that their proposed New Pier would bring about the financial collapse of the existing one. But even supposing that an ex. tension of the present deck is not. thought to be desirable, certainly something might be done to make the landing stage so that strainers would experience less d fficulty in landing passngers when the weather is a bit rough. The anti-tithe mob have been having more gala days, and giving farther illustrations of how injudicious it was of the Government not to persist in carrying some measure through Par- liament to ameliorate the lot of the tithe- owners. And really it is difficult to understand for what the Conservative party exists if it is not to safe-guard the time-honoured institutions of the country. This bv the way. For ore thing the conduct of the mob over the recent tithe distraints show the fallacy a' d hypocri-y of the profession that no disturbances would take place if the bailifis went about their business unac- companied by police and military. This pro- fession is absolutely absurd for the men who would coerce, intimidate and tyrannise over a solitary olergyman would of ciurse, as circum- stances have shown, prove in other cases also, that force is the only law that they respect. A contemporary announe-a that the Rev. J. Jenkins, late curate of Llanwddyn, and now in charge of Caerfallwcb, has been presented by the Bishop of St. Asaph to the Rectory of Hirnant, near Llanfyllin. The living is put down in Crockford as worth JE384 per annum in. cluding 10 acres of good glebe. About two month ago the rv gentleman bad the offer of the Reotory of Bettws G.G., near Corwen, from the same bishop. Mr Jenkins, the same authori- ty believes is the firfot curate promoted by the present Bishop of St. Asaph. Evidently the writer of this paragraph inclines to the opinion that curates have been lost sight of in the selection of olergy suitable for vacant benefices. H ere is a case for the Local Liberal Disrup. tionists to enquire into, it concerns ir Thomas Grattao Eamonde, Bart, M.P., to give him his full title, the gentleman that was so much utilised by the Rhyl Rada to worry over the Flintshire Magistracy business. This worthy and hon. member was no doubt supposed to be a loyal Parnellite, and as such ought he not to sympathise heart and soul with the Plan of Campaign and the No Rent manifesto? But according to a correspondence published io the Wexford People it is clear that these extreme views are not allowed undisputed sway on the Esmonde domain that bis tenants are not allow- ed an immunity from rent or from so obnox ous an iustrument as a writ. A farmer named Red- mond complains that be and his predecessors have been paying a rent of 300 per cent. above Griffith's valuation.. If this be so, surely a Parnellite members of all others should show come tremendous arguments for proceeding to extremities. Anyhow Mr L. G. Eamond, writes that he found the man was four years in arrears. But what of tbat p The Parnellites in Parliament made a pretence of anxiety to wipe off all arrears. Then the agent adds that even when Sir Thomas Esmonde himself cilled upon bis recalcitrant tenant and asked him to pay something, that the mau was insulting aod tOld him that be had no rent for him. What else could be expected after the lessons that the tenantry of Ireland have been so assiduously taught P No wonder that the man's feelinks were hurt when he was asked for rent! So promising a pupil should be taken to the very b OBom of the Land League,

HOLLO WAY'S PILLS Nervous Debility.-No part of the human machine requires more watching than the nervous system-upon it hangs health and life itself. These Pills are the best regulators and strangtheners of the nerves, and the safest general purifiers. Nausea, head ache, giddiness, numbness, and mental apathy )ield to them. They dispatch in a summary manner those distressing dyspeptic symptoms, stomachic pains, fulness at the pit of the stomach, abdominal distension, and over. come both capricious appetites and confined bowais.- the commonly accompanying sig-is of defective or de. ranged nervous power. Holloway's Pills are particularly recommended to persons of studious and sedentary habits, who gradually sink into a nervous and debilitated state, unless some each restorative be occasionally aktn.
