THE DECORATION SCHEME. THE Com m itvsi oners scheme for decorntivc im- provemer.ts has received but a cold reception at the hands of the Local Government Board and the chilling attitude adopted should act as an other lesson to our local governors that the most urgent needs of this town are sanitary and nt fanciful improvements It will be rmellJbel" d that General Cure v. a few weeks a-o, held a public inquiry as to the Board's most recent ap- plication for powers to borrow money. The result has been communicated in a letter from the L )ca) Government Board, with which was enclosed ex- tracts from their Inspector's report. Tim latter views several features in the scheme as being in themselves desirable; but he takes exception to the Board's mode of proceeding. He apoarentlv regards the dicssing of the entire promenade with tir a waste of money, and suggests that thi operation should be confined to some 40 feet Ion,, the rent re, the entire vi-idtli beilll:* flot les,,i than one hundred feet for a considerable distance. To maintaia all that area in proper order would be, lie remarks, difficult and very costly. He thinks that the remaining pjrtion of the promenade coald be gravelled as at present. As a genera! thing all asphalted portion forty feet wide would be sufficient to accommodate the public; but there aie occasions when doub less some jostling would be the result of so circums ribed an area. And i r there be one portion easier t" walk on than .LL.- _.lL_- me oiner, rew persons wilt toe found self-den vino •aough to take to the rough purt as a Dliltf<;r 0] chone. The Inspector doubts the efficiency of the projected outer wail and sand screens, and even the necessi'y of this costly addition to the s.a-rront. He admits that souie steps should bf taken to prevent the lodgment of drift-sand on the promenade but before sanctioning all ex penditut-e that might prove a lailure and an objectionable nuisance, he suggests that experi- ments should be made during the ensiling wintei with wooden screens, to ascertain whether the raising of the existing wall to a uniform ùt'ih' of three rett, and a hoi izontal pr.-j^t- log sciecu to prevent the sand blowing over tip- toT, ()f the %all, the ludgiiicnt of drif, -:i?itiot b(. sufficiently prevented, lie aùds tI,at it i'illJi!ar expelluient could of course be made with a screen representing tne outer wall in another section, and then the ch.ta obtained from the expeiirnents next springy would probably bj sufficient to enable the Commissioners to form a reliable pinion as to the best mode of protection against drift sand. In his opinion the very low eighteen inch wall now existing on the sea-front is an absurd arran-e ment in that exposed position and unsightly Visitors to Rhyl, however, will not gen'raliv agree with the luspecor's opinion that the wall is unsightly, and are piepared te testify th;it it is rery serv; cable in summer, if on the other Land it is an "absurd arrangement" ia winter. NY doubt the greater portion of the sand with which the promenade and parade are covered at times in the winter comes over this wall for some length at the east end portion of it and we can scarcely expect the Inspector will believe us when we say that last winter hundreds of loads of sand which drifted over this w-11 was tipped agnin on its sea- ward side, to be blown over the promenade by the next gale: An efficient mode of {prevent- ing sand drift is a thing much desired, and it would have been of advantage if, with the Inspec- tors experience, he had given u, S0Ine FJore definite plan, home of the experiments he suo- gests have a ready been trbd, although pos^iWv H)t in quite the right wav, M The general result is that no advance whateve. has been made in the way of securing the proposed improvements; and it is sincerelv to be hop.d liH t ? a"0ther th<- will turn itP attention to more pressing needs.

CHRIST CHURCH BAZAAR- The members of the congregation of the English Congregational Chapel have every reason to con- gratulate themselves on the successful efforts they have made to wipe off their building debt, which efforts came to an issue on Tuesday, the first day of the opening of their grand nautical and marine bazaar. The ladies connected with the place have for some months past worked with iiiitiiiii, zeal, and as their respected pastor pointed out in his opening remarks were highly worthy of very hearty thanks. The bazaar was held in the Town Hall, the assembly room having undergone quite a decorative transformation. All round the room were erected model ships represen'ed in full sail, and heavily laden with all kinds of most useful, ornamental and many valuable articles In the centre of the room was erected a small tank in which were floating a couple 'of life-buoys and a number of miniature ships, whilst surrounding there were some capital specimens of nautical objects, including ship lamps and the wheel." To the rear of the hall there was a large stall heavily laden with most luscious fruit, and edibles of both delicate and substantial characters the table was tastily laid, the large epergne adorning the centre having been kindly lent by Mr Lawrence, of the Royal Hotel. Three o'clock was the time fixed for opening, and at that hour there was a large attendance, amongst whom we noticed Col. Barnes, the Quinta, Chirk Rev T. S. Ross, and Mrs Ross, Rev T. 0. and Mrs Williams, Rev J. Verrier Jones, Rev J. Judge, Mr and Mrs H. J. B. Lawrence (Royal Hotel) Mr P. M William*, Mr F. L. Rawlins, Mr J. Y. Strachan, Mr and Mrs S. Perks, Dr and Mrs Suinmerhill and others. The following lad'es, assisted by others, gracefully presided over the respective stalls NC). I ST A IX. Mrs. Ross, Ivcitiptott House, and friends.

Ross pointed out that the reason the bazaar was being held was an old story. Its origination was due to the munificence and liberality of a lady whose name he knew was held in high esteem in the town. He referred to Miss Ruth Evans—to whom Rhyl owed great gratitude. She had al- ways been a generous and liberal friend of tin- sectarian education. A little over 12 months ago Miss Evans gladdened his (Mr Ross's) heart one Monday morning by handing over to him a cheque towards their chapel debt for X20t). The manner in which he expressed his gratitude to Miss Evans was so manifest that she was con- strained to be even more generous, and in a very short time afterwards she offered another £200 if during the following 12 months they could wipe off the remainder of their debt. He felt from the first since he came amongst them how important it was they should get rid of the debt, although he did not think Christian Churches should be directed mainly to the getting rid of debts but they would feel themselves freer, and more en. couraged to work harder for their Lord and Mas- ter. That was the reason they had met there that afternoon, and he hoped they would not leave anything behind them. He also took that opportunity of according a sort of general vote of thanks to the many kind friends to whom they felt so deeply indebted that day. Their warmest thanks were due to Miss Evans—(applause) — whom he had already described as being the mover of those endeavours. Also to their chairman, and to their friends who had during the past few months been busy preparing those beautiful things they saw around them. He felt personally he j should thank those people who bad assisted in putting up those things on the day previous He also heartily thanked the baud, whose services were given gratuitously. (Applause). Mr T. H. Wood (Promenade Band) then sang in capital voice" I fear no foe." Col. Barnes then addressed the assembly. lie observed that during the past year in consequence of illhealth he had to refuse several invitations to attend bazaars, but Mr Ross had written to him in such an imploring manner that he felt he could not refuse him. He (Col Barnes) liked bazaars for several reasons. When holding those bazaars,— either Congregational or Church bazaars, the different members of the congregation got to know one another in a way they could not otherwise do. There were persons who could work for a bazaar that could not afford to buy anything or give anything; and when they saw the valuable articles they had made on the stalls being sold they were doubly pleased. They had a very beautiful bazaar that day, but he should like to ask them not to undersell the shopkeepers, because he thought that was very unfair, as the trades- men had their living to get by it. Ht could not say either that he approved of having two prices, as they sometimes had at seaside places-one price for visitors and another for residents. (Laughter). Whilst the stalls were very beautiful he thought the stallholders did not come anything shoit, as they were quite as nice as their stalls. He had taken the liberty of having a look round and he noticed the staIls were filled with most beautiful articles and none of them contained trash He was sure Mr Ross was deserving of every help, aud he was also ule that everyone including their Church friends, would do every everything they could for him. Mr Ross was a gentleman who believed they were all working for one good cause, whether it was the Established Church or not, and he, as every right minister wauld, wanted to get ri-1 of his debt and he (Col Barnes) heartily wished him success. He did not propose to h-y anything tbt;t day but he would be pleased to contribute Lio. (Applause). After a soug had been rendered in a very sweet manner by Miss Williams, of l."Ie Guildhall Musical School, London, and niece to Mr P. M. Williams, Col Barnes formally declared the bazaar open, advising the ladies to victimize the geutle. men in a just aud merciful way. j A r.nAViiiVicus vote of thanks was then accor- Lt ded C.il barnes, after which the sales commenced most earnestly. Duiing the afternoon t!ie Promenade Band, under the oonductorship of Mr Cohen, discoursed smie capital music. In addition to the sales going on in the room there w.,is ,i ,I)oot;i)(,, g-iller.y with air guns erected in the B tardroom, at which a good amount of money was realized and a galvanic battery in charge of Mr J E Jones was well pitronised. WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. On eunesday afternoon was another good attendance, the opening cer.mony being per- formed by Mr Olive- Jones, of Liverpool. The Rev T. S. Ross made a few preliminary remarks, after which Mr Oliver Jones proceeded to open the proceed- ings. He observed that when he was invited by Mr Ross to perform the task of opening the bazaar he could not tind any excuse to deny°him, inasmuch as he was not suffering from any kind of illhealth, and knowing the good work Mr Ross I was engaged in he was very glad to be present to wish liini every success. He thought they ought 1(-e I to acknowledge the great kindness Miss Evans had shown in making her proposal to clear off the debt, by every endeavour to procure the sum re- quired to meet her donation. He believed they had riised £ 1.00 the day previous which he thought was very encouraging indeed. (Cheers). I He thought they would be successful in liquidat- ing the debt, because he believed Christian work should be carried on without so much begging for o the £ s d. In conclusion he Imped they would have very favourable breezes to assist them in tile ill view (itpplause). 'I he Rev I S proposed a. hearty vote of thanks to I!r s for killdly opening their Seconded by Mr P M Williams, who remarked that he had Known Mr Jones for a good number of years, and he was sure that he was pleased to come to their rescue as he had done on previous occasions. (App'ause). A number of entertainments were given in the Board room by Professor .Miller, the ventriloquist and several artistes who are performing on the Pier. ° The lady stall-holders beg thus publicly to tender their grateful thanks to the numerous friends who contributed to the s'alls, aud those who otherwise shewed their kind sympathy. The fCommittee, and Mr Nuttall, its secretary, are to be congratulated on the excellent arrange- ments made, and their successful results. z-

NOTLS BY OBSKRVKR. I hear that, Miss Jennie Evans (Llinos y Gog- ledd), Rhyl, has just been engaged as principal soloist of a concert party about to make a tour of the chief towns in the United Kingdom. The en- gagement will commence at Leicester on Bank Holiday. Miss Evans deserves much and continued success and it is sincerely wished she may obtain it. The Rev. J. K. Green on Sunday evening preached a timely sermon on the words Remem- ber mjr Sabbaths and keep them holy." Rightly or wrongl,, Sabbatarianism is vanishing very much in l'hyl: and even to many "professing members" the concert is made the most prominent devotion of the day. £ It was a sight which attracted much attention in High Street on Saturday evening to see the drum- mer beating the dust. A young man was driving a vehicle up the street, and it is saicl that he went ill for the band rather suddenly. The result was that the drummer was overthrown and a little child knocked down. Dr. Girdlestone attended to the latter at once, and it was pleasing to learn that she was not hurt. It is stated that the inci- dent is to be the subject of a magisterial investi- gation. 'f¡. ;¡;y" The morning concert given by the young ladies of Arcville College on ednesday afternoon, in a marque in the recreation ground, [alll told, was a decided success. In addition to instruhiental music, choruses and tableaux vivauts (from the Bohemian Girl") were given. The liintdi-r records that Mr Dunbar, C. E., who was for some time in the Town Surveyor's office at Rhyl, has been successful, out of (HI competitors, in gaining a prize of £ 100 for the best design for laying out the marine estate of Mr. John Corbett, M.P., of Ynys-y-rnaengwyn, at Towyn, Merioneth. It is a, somewhat singular coincidence that it was another civil engineer of this town, Mr Collingwood, who had drawn the plans for the new drainage and water works, and also the promenade in front of the marine estate at the above named rising watering-place. The penny-a-liner is responsible for a cruel innu- endo regarding the death of the unfortunate tramp in the Voryd on Sunday. It was stated that he had been refused a passage over the bridge above, because the man bad only a half-penny to pay toll with. Hut the simple f ict is that the poor fellow did not attempt a passage over the bridge at all: anil consequently there co tld have been no refusal. :< # The fourth Oxford meeting of the University Extension and other students will extend from July 31 to August 31. A very large number of lectures will he deliveed, and the programme has been issued and as regards monetary arrange- ments they are ea«y and advantageous. It is to be hoped the Rhyl students will not he unrepre- sented. Owing to very tine weather great progress has been made with the hay harvest. A large quantity has been already carted, and in but very few iii- stances the hay is down, in good condition, and nearly made. In some instances tbe yield is heavy, and the crop generally isa full average one. Turnip crops are in a fairly satisfactory state, and look healthy. The grain crops have made rapid pro- gress. and though they are late, the present state of the weather will easily make up for lost timo and the clieck caused by the coolness of the spring. Potatoes awl fruit now promise well. # # A distinguished company of ladies and gentle- men assembled on Tuesday last at a garden party given at Bishop's Court, Manchester. The Lord Bishop itil o', Mrs Moorhouse received their guests untler the spreading branches of one of the fine trees on the Lawn. The list of invitations inclu- ded Councillor J. 1- Middleburst. Mrs Middle- hurst, Mr Middlehurt, junr., and Miss Middle, hurst, of loryil Hall, Rhyl. The weather was fine, and the grounds and gathering presented a picturesque appearance.

STNDAV IIKII ON BOARD -The question of Mr S. Smith, M.P. in the House of Commons is one of much importance to shipowners, their officers and crews, who suffer from a practice of recent origin in some foreign and colonial ports, of shipping of hundreds of tons hunker coals and transhipping cargoes unnecessarily oil Sunday. Mr S. Smith referred to the part which Mail Steamers took in originating and encouraging this unloading and loading Oil Sundays, which stops all Divine of worship for the crews of cargo vessels, for the precedent set by the Mail ships is tooapt to he followed for private gain by the owners of many cargo boats. The consul at Lisbon describes in a recent blue book on "Sunday working of cargoes in foreign ports," how the granting of "packet privileges of this sort to mail ships on the Tagua has grown into an entire setting aside of the Portuguese laws against such practices. The fre- (lucnt arrival of Mail steamers in Hong Kong Harbour on the day of rest was recently used as a strong argument a gainst the passing of the Sunday working ordinance in that Colony and the same ill-timed management of the Post Office at Singapore is even now quoted in the Blue Book on this subject for the Colonies, against any restric. tions on this perinoious practice in that harbour. At. Malta thousands of tons of coal are commonly taken on board steamers on Sundavs, the mail ships being the leaders of this unnecessary labour. From Brindisi and Marseilles similar complaints are received, as well as from the Cape of Good Hope, Sierra Leone, Brisbane, &c. But the Post. master General says these calls arc rare, so that the ill-reputation the Mail steamers have long had amongst sailors for robbing them of their day of rest would appear to I)e undeserved. The Post- master General might easily clear the reputation of the Post Office by preparing a return to Parlia- ment of the names of the foreign and Colonial ports at which Mail steamers called or remained last year on Sundays, so as t" give occasion for the working of bunkercoals or cargo, and the dates on which such Sit inlay work was necessitated durintr the year. A plea of public, advantage may be put in for the Mail steamers in this matter: but no such excuse can be made for other shipowners who stop all Divine Worship in their ships and bring their own religious consistency into question amongst their officers and crews by working thousands of tons of coals and cargoes unnecessarily on tho Lord s Day. niereiy tor private gain in a foreign or colonial V 's of this kind do much to account ,J y •: lunate and lamentable lack of sympathy, fell, -fe(t: and kindliness which so often ohta' i employers and employed in the BriLish Me, ..ie Marine.

ST. ASAPH COUXTV COURT 1 SATrKPAT. I Before His Honour Sir Horatio Lloyd, .judge, and R. Fred Sisson, Esq I'egis'rar. Jltll,r¡molt Sit m}JI (JiI St' His Honour made fresh ot-(Ipi- of tl t)(,i- ir,()ntl,, in three judgment summonses fgainst W J Hughes, of Hh\ I —Mr Edw.ird Rub: i ts, who npjieired for the debtor, said that his (the debtor's) appearance at tii.it cou t being so repeated must have made ateiri le imjiie-sion upon His Honour's mind. but notwithstanding that if this man hacl obtained goods illegally there was another court in which they could deal with him. He (Mr Roberts) waJ in this difficulty the debtor was ilot pre-eiit. ind he was not its a position to prove his means he therefore applied that the judgments should be adjourned for a short time. Mr Lloyd, who appeared for one of the judg ment creditors, slid thi man bad been hawking good about Rhyl every dajr during the last fort- ] night. He was pivparel to be sworn and state that he had been hawking the goods he bad pur- chased. The Rcjintrar's Taxation Uvhtltf. Mr Alun I.loyd made an application to His Honour to review taxation in the case of J. Duek. worth Sncdgiass against Mis Hannah Whitbeld, Hhyl. The case was heard at St. Asaph and then adjourned to the Rhyl Court, He (Mr Lloyd) claimed 10s. for attending the St. Asaph Court. and for attending the Rhyl Court, but the ¡{,gls'rar did net seem satisfied in allowing the same. Mr Wm Davies, who represented defendant, opposed the application, observing that 5s. of the los. was disallow d under a certain rule, and con seqnently without expressing his opinion as to the intel pretatin of the rules he should oppose the application on the ground of the Registrar having done so. His Honour said that so far as this case was concerned he was disposed to adhere to the Regis- trar's taxation on the merits of the case, but he would make no interpretation of the rules in this case. He would wait till he had a better one. Taken hy Surprise Mr Davies said be had a further application to make with respect to the, above-named paities. He wished to make an application for a new trial. His grounds of applilatiun were that this c:ise was adjourned to enable defendant, to meet his wife aud settle the case out of Court. The defendant had an interview with the plaintiff's solicitor and he promised to arrange a. meeting with the defendant and his wife at his ('he plaintiff's solicitor's) office, a d write and let defendant know. The plaintiff's solicitor never made snell an appointment, and therefore the defendant never attended the ad- journed hearing. The facts laid before His Honour at the last Court led him to say that he thought it was the best thing to do between hus- band and wife to give them an opporunity of settling their differences out of Court. If the defendant's wife was left to herself and not under her mother in-law he thought there would be no dispute. The defendant would lelate what tran- spired between him and the plaintiff's solicitor In three or four weeks after not receiving a letter, he was afraid that judgment might go behind his back without his knowledge, he wrote a letter to the Registrar, in answer to which he receivad the order of judgment and the amount of costs, and therefore he was taken by surprise, and lie came that day to ask His Honour to give him an oppor- tunity of being heard. He was willing to do everything and anything he possibly could regard ing his wife. He was willing to take her home and was anxious to have his family about him, it would be better for him than to pay the 12s. There was no doubt from the observations of the letters hat they were couched in the most affectionate terms, b' it was the celebrated mother-in-law's interference. (Laughter). If defendant's wife got away from her mother he bad no doubt she would make a good w fe and a good mother. His Honour I am surprised they did not come to some agreement. J Duckworth Snodgrass, tbedefendtnt, tidthat he was in the May court, and in consequence of I whnt passed he saw Mr Lloyd before he left court, and Mr Lloyd promised to arrange a meeting and y 11 let him know by letter when it would be held. but he failed to do so, consequently defendant never put in an appearance at the adjournment. Mr Lloyd Don't you think your mother-in law has had to borrow money to keep your wife ? The applicant: I should think so old villain." (Laughter). Mr Lloyd Did you make an appointment to meet me at five o'clock the same evening the case was tried ? The Applicant replied that he promised to do so with a proviso that if he did not have a telegram from his Surveyor that be was wanted to go home cl immediately. Mr Lloyd And did you receive a telegram? Applicant Yes, I did. Mr Lloyd: And did you not send a telegram from St. Asaph saying that you won the case ? The Applicant hesitated in answering the ques- tion put by Mr Lloyd, but eventually admitted that be did send a telegram saying he had won the case. Mr Lloyd promised to arrange a meeting between them but he never did so, and he (the Applicant) thought the fart of the matter was, that Mr Lloyd was a very dishonest man. Mr Davies If you don't ansWer th questions 'n a proper manner and not make use of such expressions, I shall not proceed with the case. Mr Lloyd Did you not send that telegram after you saw me ? Applicant I am not qui'e sure whether I did or not. Mr Lloyd: Did you not tell your wife vou would have nothing to do with her? Applicant No I did not. I did not threaten to go abroad.—Iu answer to further questions by Mr Lloyd, the applicant said tlint he first arranged the meeting for five o'clock he thought, and then he said six o'clock, and eventually he said that lie was not sure whether any time was mentioned or not. He admitted that his train did not leave Rhy! tin til ft So His Honour said thf.t was no sort of statement, first to say one thing and then another, and then say he did not remember whether any time was mentioned or not. It came to this, that be refused to grant a new trial. Applicant: Why not Sir ? His Honour: My own reasons. The County C'ub's Case. it c This was a claim by Mr W. J. P. Storey for the return of X2 2-. subscription paid to the club authorises; the plaintiT having refused to join the club upon a decision being come to that the premises should be opened on Sundays. Mr Gamliu observed that this case was adjour- ned from the last couit In order that in the mean time he should obtain a certificate of the incor poration of the Rhyl and County Club. He had obtained tha certificate and therefoie put it in. That was his case. Mr Davies for the defence, said tint the original action was against Dr vjirdle.-tone. The Company only eame ilo pxitenec on the 12th J),"rlllh, ¡. and anything done before that had nothing what- ever to do with the registered compauy On reference to the articles of association thev would find that all share olders were member' of the Club, and they were empowered to lIIake Bye Laws for the election of members other than share- hollers. The plaintiff received a notice in Febru- ary, and immediately on receipt of a prospectus which informed him of ilieCompany's registration. and with which was enclosed the ru!es"the Com- pany had given, he immediately sent his cheque. There was nothing in the rules about the proof copy Mr Storey had had respecting the limited company, and upon the receipt of the prospectus, Mr Storey became a member according to the rules and regulations of the limited company, He was to pay £ 2 2s. for being a member, and with. out any shareholder's liability being attached to it. If be was not pleased with what the Company did there was a provision for withdrawal by any member signifying his intention to do so in writ- ing before the 1st January in each year. The plaintiff stated, and the point was raised by Mr Gamlin, even if he did apply to the Company it was their bounden duty to give him notice of the acceptance of the applic tion. ani until that rcceptance was sent the application could be withdrawn. That applied only to the limited iompany's members and not to the other Be rubers His Honour enquiried whether there was any- thing in the rules to say that they were required ;0 give formal intimation of the election of members. Mr Davies said there was not, and he contended luat there was no liability whatever on the part of the Company to refund the two guineas b-icli to the Plaintiff. and he asked His Honour for a non suit. Mr T. D. Evans, Secretary of the Club, said that he was present at the meeting on the 17 th of February when Mr Storey and others were elected. He read the minutes with reference to their elec tion, which stated they should be "provisionally elected, and hat certain forms should be forwar ded them for filling up aid for their signatures," following which were Mr Storey's and several other gentlemen's name-. By Mr Gamlin: Witness's father, Mr J. A. Evans, was the agent for the Club previous to 12tb December, and previous to tha' he "cleo generally in conne tion with the Rhyl and County Club. It did not occur to him at first that the names of the gentlemen elected would be required to be inserted in the minutes, and the reason he had underlined them was to make them more ex plicit. He could not remember perfectly whether Mr Storey was elected by show of hands or not. He supposed it was the result of a resolution, but he could not swear who proposed it or who secon- dpd it: He could not..say whether they elected him by ballot or not. He was aware that accord- mg to rule 5 it stipulated that every member must 0 be elected by ballot. He could not say whe'.her Mr Storey w.,t, proposed and seconded by any act- ing member of the Company or not. His Honour said the Club b:u,, a new one lie supposed things would te out of order a little. Air Gamlin And w e contend that we withdrew before they were put in order. His Honour said that the question in dispute was really the opening of the Club on Sunday, and undoubtedly Mr Storey entered the Club on the faith of the Club not being opened on Sunday, but, however, certain powers had been granted the Committee to alter any rules. That was not the object of the Club but a mere matter of regu- 1 lation, and any one who did not like it was at liberty to leave the Club at the end of the year. They certainly could not make rules to please every member of the Club. The question was whether Mr Storey at the time of his application was not practically and really a member of the Club. Per haps all the forms bad not been gone through bu' I they really araoun'ed to nothing. Mr Storey must also remember that had it not been for tbe Sun day question he would have been a member now, and whether he acted wisely or unwisely with respect to his conscientious objections was a mat- ter that had nothing whatever to do with him. He did not propose in that case to give cos's to anyone because it had been a blundering thing throughout. Mr Lewis Morgan, who was representing Dr Girdlestone, applied for costs in his case. Mr Gamlin said that he wrote to Mr Morgan two days before the last Court stating that be had received a copy rf Dr Girdlestone's affidavit, and that he should not proceed against him. His Honour entered judgment for defendants, without costs only in the case of Dr Giidlestone, to whom he allowed costs as if the case had b?en commenced and ended on the last Court day. The Hy') "lid the Kitchen-ma d. This was an action in which Mr R M Walker' manager of the Hydropathic Establishment, gh,y1. sought to recover os 9d from a domestic servant, named Annie Forner, of Shrewsbury, being her railway fire advanced to her by the Plaintiff.— Mr Alui, iloycl, repi-c-sentret the defendant. The tated that he had engaged the defendant through aregi-tiy office in Shrewsbury, as a kitchen-maid, bhe arrived at six o'clock in the evening and was shown her duties by Mrs Walker. Shp got afraid of the phc aud refused to stay, and on going into the town she returned and said that she had got another situation at the Dudley Arms Hotel. She promised to pay the railway fare she had had advanced to her, and the landlady of the Dudley said tbt she would receive her wages at the month's end. By Mr Voyd: Her wages were to be £12 a year. She nine dtwn at the time appointed. He did not. tell her that he expected site was a strotiz country girl. His wife said that she was afraid she was not strong enough, but they would give her a trial, and if they found she not do in in tbe kitchen they would find her a place in the pantry. Mr Lloyd said the ease f r the defence was that she obtained the situation in Shrewsbury through a registry office, andtl e plaintiff as was usual in tho<e cases forwarded the railway faro. The girl arrived at the Hydropathic J.-ta lishment at the appointed time, and on being inspected by Mr Walker she was pronounced thoroughly unsuitable, but was told she could remain there for the night She had no money, and had it not bee.i for the situation at the Dudley Arms Hotel, she would have been lef: in a town where there are so many temptatious 'o young girls without anywhere to go or any money in her pocket. Annie Farmer, ou being call d corroborated the statement of her solicitor. Mr Walker, the plailltifl, sail ihegir1 had every considera'ion shewn her, and he would be ashamed to occupy the position he did to act in su h a heartless manner as was suggested to any young girl. He simply asked for the money to be rc- funded. His Honour said that be would most certainly hesitate in believing that the plaintiff would throw th", girl into the street, and in the face d the pla ntitl's statement that they had offered her another situation, he felt that he could only give a verdict for him.

MYSTERIOUS DRATII OF A YOUNG WOMAN AT RHYL KEFITATION OF ALLEGATIONS. THE VERDICT. At the Rhyl Town Hall on Friday evening last week Mr \Y in Davies, the Coroner for Flint- shire, resumed the inquiry into the circumstances attending the mysterious death of a domestic ser- vant, Elizabeth Jones, who died at the residence of Mrs Lloyd, a widow, No. 2, Rhuddlan Place, Rhyl, which took place on Wednesday week, after a premature confinement. The jury men tioned before answered to their names. There were also present in court, ])r. Pierce, Coroner for Dr. Morgan, (represented by Mr Porter, solicitor, Conway), Dr. Girdlestone, Dr. Suinmerhill, Dr. Kyton Lloyd, and Mr. F. J. Gamlin. f |The first witness called was Mary Pritehanl, who said she was the wife of Thomas Pritehanl, hosier, Llandudno. he knew I the deceased Elizabeth Jones, who was in her ser- I vice three weeks hist Wednesday. he hatI been in her service a month. In three or foity- (Iztvs after ( she came to her sci-N-ice she complained of a pain in I her hack. In about nine days after she came she had to go to Conway to see Dr Morgan on account of her hand, and witness's daughter out of pity for the deceased asked her to take Elizabeth Jones. She accordingly did take her to Dr. Morgan's bouse, who was her (witness s) doctor. She got one bottle of medicine from him. Dr. Morgan took deceased to a room by herself. She was there less than ten minutes, and afterwards witness and deceased partook of tea in Dr. Morgan's house. The deceased ate heartily. Deceased returned home with witness, taking with them the bottle of medicine from the doctor. Witness asked Dr. Morgan what was the matter with hel, and lie replied that he iii(I iiot kiioiv. He said she would know without Iloullt ill wceks' tillle. After they returned home, deceased went about, her work as usual and said she was better. Tn a fortnight or three weeks after they had been at Conw ay w itness gave deceased notice to leave her service, having understood that she was pregnant. At the same time she remonstrated with her for not having told of her condition before entering the service. After deceased went with witness to Conwy she had no know ledge of her having gone there again on any one occasion. Deceased had told her that the father of her child was a butcher at Rhyl, with whom she had been employed. The witness did not remember the name of the man. Deceased said she would not go home, as she was afraid to see the face of her mother, but said that she would go to her brother's bouse, and call on Dr Morgan as she was going home. Witness said to her "What is the good of you going to him; he will not give you any medicine." The reason she ob- jected to deceased going again to Dr. Morgan was that she had admitted thatshe was in the family way, and that she did not want her to remain any longer in her house. By it juror: Witness first met deceased in the street in Llandudno. She asked her if she knew any one who wanted a servant. Witness wanting a servant at the time, asked deceased where she came from, and she replied fiom Ruthin, Asked her how it was she came there, she said she was in some potter's shop at Llandudno, where she did iiot get eiioitgli to eitt. After some further conver- sation with her, witness agreed to engage her. Witness had not seen Dr Morgan from the day she took deceased to him until that day, further than when they met in the street, they asked each other how they were. There was no conversation with reference to this case. It was not possible for deceased to go to Dr Morgan without witness knowing. By the Coroner Witness said deceased took the medicine given her by Dr Morgan, but did not know w hether she took the whole or not. The medicine was given to deceased personally. By a juror Witness did not know whether deceased saw Dr Morgan on the day she left her service. lr. Potter Had ycu any suspicion that she was in the family way before she went to your house Witness Xo, Mr. lottet- Was the Doctor very jbusy when you wellt there. Witness said the Doctor left in about ten minutes after. Kate Williams said she was the daughter of David Williams, 13, St. Helens Place. She knew the deceased when she came to Mrs Owens at Bedford Street. She vas in Thomas Owens to see when Mr Roberts, butcher, Sussex-street, came there to see (leceitse(l. He aske(i (lecetse,l if wit- ness could understand Welsh, and deceased replied No." He told her to close the door, and she (ii(l, m-lieii Rol)et-ts it.,ke(I deceased what she sent the note for, illlt, she replied that she wanted some money. He said that lie was very sorry that he could not give her any that day as he only had a sovereign in his pocket. He said he wanted to pay some debts, and he would be very glad if she would wait until Tuesday or Wednesday, when lie would give her some money. SI te said she would. By a juror: He did nit give her any, of the sovereign. By Mr P otter The deceased knew I understood Welsh. She wanted me to listen. The Coroner said that Dr Thomas, who assisted Dr. Suinmerhill in a post nwrlrm examination, was not able to attend on ac- count of the death of his mother. He was i obliged to go to Anglesey. It was important Dr. Thomas should be present, as the deceased was alleged to have made a statement in his presence, the purport of which they had had tbe day pre- "ious hy lrs Lloyd. He would also like him to be there that lie might corroborate the state- ment to Dr. Suinmerhill, One of the jurors complained that Dr. Thomas should be allowed to go away when he thought proper, whilst they were bound uuder a peualty to be present- The Coroner, very sharply, told the juror that lie was not there to give judgment. Dr. Thomas had been called away under painful circumstances, and should auy juror represent to him that be had a relation dead, or was ill himself, he would be able to exeuse him serving oil tlke j*lll-y. THE INQUEST AGAIN RESUMED. Last evening Mr Dayies, coroner, again resumed the ahoye enquiry. Mr Porter, solicitor, again appeared for Dr Morgan, and Mr Alun Lloyd watched the case on behalf of Roberts, butcher. The first witness called was Dr Win. Thomas, who said he knew the deceased Elizabeth Jones, whom he first saw last Saturday week, the lltli inst. There were three or four other women in the room. She complained of pains in the bowels, which appeared like labour pains. He found however on examination that labour had not then com- menced. He prescrihell for her, and visited her again on the following day (Sunday). She then said she felt better, and her pains were easier. He saw her again on Monday, when she was again suffering from increased pain and palpitation. One of the women present told him she had given birth to a chillI about an hour previously, which she sai(I had lived only about an hour and a half. He pre- scribed some medicine for her, and was sent for again the same evening, and he was worse, suffering more from sickness but in less pain. He saw her again on the following day, and her condition was much worse, she was losing strength, and she gradually sank and died on the following day.— In answer to the Coroner, witness said deceased made a statement to him on Tuesday afternoon, the 14th inst, in the presence of Mrs Lloyd with whom she was lodging. He told her lie was not satisfied as to the cause of her illness that he considered it was material for him to know. He asked her if she had taken anything and she said "no," except some hierapicra and gin, also some worm- wood tea. Mrs Lloyd then pressed her to tell him the whole truth. Well, she said, I had some medicine from Dr. Morgan, of Con- way. and he also put me under chloroform three tillJcs-on three successive Fridays. He asked her wdiat he did, and she said she did not know, except that oil the last occasion she thought lie had done something, as she had pain when sitting down, and blood was coming from her. She sti(I he told her to go home, and leave her situation, as be did not know how soon it might come off, as "he woulll not go her full time. That is all I remember she said. Mrs Lloyd was present during the whole of the time. Coroner: Did you say anything to her about making her depositions? -Witness:! did. I saill the statement she hall made was a very grave one, and told her that she was not likely to recover, and asked her if she would like to repeat what she told me before a magistrate. She hesitated, and then asked me if she would have to swear it, as she could not sw ear. I said it was not necessary for her to swear to it, and then she said she would rather not.- -Coroner: Did she say anything with respect to the father of the child Witness I could not say distinctly. Corojiet- Did she say who went with her to Dr. Morgan ?-NN'ittiess She said she went with her mistress, a patient of Dr. Morgan's. f don't recollect her saying anything about how long she was under chloroform.

Coroner And that she said she would? Witness: I don't rernlWt t.lmt -Coroner: Mrs. Lloyd said it was Dr. Morgan, of Colwyn. itness 1 understood Conway.— Coroner Mrs Lloyd said deceased said in your presence that she had been to Mr Morgan three times, and on each occasion lie used instru- ments. itness: I should Hot like to swear either )iie m-,ty or the other. I assisted Dr. Suinmerhill in the pust mortem examination. A Juror Why did you say it was not necessary for her to swear.—Witness Welt, I understood that was so.- foreman Did she ha\e any medi- cine from any other Doctor do you know ? Witness: 1 do not know indeed, I never heard her say so. DrSuniinerhill wasthen sworn, and gave evidence of the post illol-teill.A ]III.ol.

Mr Alun Lloyd (who had just entered the room) said that he appeared on behalf of Roberts, whose rame had been mentioned, and he desired to say that Roberts was willing to come if the jury desired his presence.- The Coroner said that as far as Roberts was concerned the jury had no cognizance of him. Mr Lloyd Yes, ] understand that is so, but still he wished you to know that he is willing. Dr Thomas corroborated Dr SummerhiU's evi- dence as to the result of the examination. By a juror What lie saw at the lJO,1 examina- tion might have corroborated the girl's statement that she had been tampered with. —By Mr Porter The laceration at the back of the womb might have been caused by the passage of the head, but it was not probable.—Mr Alun Lloyd said lie was ready to answer any question on behalf of Roberts, and he had a complete answer to make to the charge.—The Coroner: So far as this inquiry is concerned, we don't know your client. Mr Porter said lie should call Dr Morgan, and the Coroner said lie must do so on his own responsi- bilit-y. Dr Morgan then stepped forward and said that lie knew the deceased through Mrs Pritchard, who was a patient of his. On one occasion, the 29th of May, Mrs Pritchard came to his house with young woman. They came into the house in the afternoon, between 4 and 5, when there were a number of patients in the surgery. After he had attended to Mrs Pritchard, she said that she had brought the servant girl, who had been complaining of her back. He was in the con suiting room at the time, and lie asked her how long she had been suffering from the pain in her back, when she replied, "about a fortnight or so. Witness put further questions to her, which she was reluctant in answering. Mrs Pritchard then said she would leave them, as the girl might then answer the questions better. Upon that he took the girl into the sitting room which was directly over the surgery. He then asked her several ques- tions (stated). Witness put the question to her straight whether she had had connection with any man, when she replied in the negative. She said beyond pains in her back and itchings at her el- bows she was as well as ever she was. He then took her back to the surgery to MrsPritchard, who asked him what was the matter with her, and lie replied "I don't know for certain." I was not in the room with her but from five to eight minutes at the outside, and that time was occupied in asking questions and getting answers' He produced his day book,"and turned to the page May 29th, in which was put down the nature of the medicine lie had given the deceased, and which was a simple aperient. The same afternoon he received a telegram to go to Colwyn Bay, and lie went there by the five o'clock train. He saw both the patients there, and returned by the six o'clock train. He also attended to other patients the same afternoon. All that was down in the day book. On the 12th of June, deceased came to him agitin between live and six in the afternoon. He 11 took her into the consulting room from the surgery and asked her if she was better. She said that her back was better, hut she had other pains. She then admitted being in the family-way and asked him could he get her into a hospital, as she darecl not go home. He gave her some opium pills to ease the pain and she asked for some more medicine similar to that she had had before, as it had done her good. He wrote out the prescription and his assistant mixed her the medicine, and he left, never seeing her after. He was not quite sure how much lie received from the girl, but it was less than ten shillings. He was a- doctor of some considerable practice. The statements made by Mrs Lloyd and Dr. Thomas had come to his notice, and it it was not true that at the first interview the girl ever mentioned that she was in the family-way. She never asked him to pro- cure what she called a "miss," nor did he suggest it to her. He never administered chloro- form to her, nor did he ever use instruments to her, and until the time lie had heard of this inquest lie had never afterwards heard or seen anything of the deceased.—Mr Porter That is all I have to ask, I don't know whether the Coroner or jury wish to ask him any.—The Coroner I am sure I shan't ask him anything. Miss Ellen Ann Morgan said she kept bouse for her brother, Dr Morgan, at Conway. She remem- bered Mrs Pritehanl and her servant coming to her brother's surgery. Her brother had goiie to Colwyn Bay before they left, by the five o'clock train. It was market day at Conway, consequently her brother was busy all day with his country patients visiting him at his surgery. Wm. Lloyd Jones said that Mrs Pritchard was a patient of Dr Morgan's whilst lie was there as assistant. He remembered Mrs Pritchard coming with her servant to see Dr Morgan. It was market day and there was a number of peo- ple in the surgery as usual. He remembered Dr Morgan and the servant going to the sitting-room where they remained a few minutes. He remem- bered the deceased coming alone on the 12th June. Dr Morgan asked her how she was after, which he again took her to the consulting room, which was adjoining the surgery. Dr. Morgan wrote in the day book produced a prescription which witness dispensed and gave to the deceased. She then left and he had not seen ]let- siiiec. Parry Can you say how many patients called at the surgery on the afternoon of the 12th June?— Dr Morgan then came forward, and on referring to his day book, said that perhaps about five, but lie had to visit a number of patients during the even- ing.—By a juror Witness never saw the deceased between the 29th May, and the 12th July. The Coroner, iii siiiiiiiiiii,, up, said the enquiry was a very important one, inasmuch as there were very grave allegations made, assuming that they were true. As regards the evidence or statement of Dr. Morgan, against whom the deceased made grave charges, that court allowed him to make a statement, whereas another court would not allow it. That court was differently constituted to other courts, inasmuch as it allowed surmises, or hearsay evidence, in order to arrive at the truth. In his statement the doctor gave a direct denial to the charges, and the evidence of the other doctors did not throw much light on the main point either. His object in making his statement was chiefly to show that the statement of the deceased that she was under chloroform was not correct. They must bear in mind the only evidence given in sup- port of the charge was that given by the deceased woman, and that was not confirmed by any other witness. The questioiK for them to ar- rive at was whether death was the result of abor- tion or not, and if so, whether it was committed by her own hand or by anyone else. They might have their surmises or doubts, but they would not have to be influenced by them without some tan- gible evidence to lead them to the conclusion that deceased met with her death by foul play. The Coroner then went through the whole evidence in detail. The room was cleared for the jury to consider their verdict; and after about a quarter of an hour's deliberation the foreman said they had unanimously come to the following verdict: That the medical evidence tends to confirm the evidence of witnesses as given to them by deceased, that abortion had been procured, but there was not sufficient evidence adduced to shew by whom." The Coroner, in dismissing the jury, remarked that lie did not think they could have arrived at a better verdict. The enquiry lasted about three hours.
