WHICH ? An angel passed through a village lone, And paused where a widow made her moan By her dying tire and her lamp's faint light, As she mended her children's clothes at night. •'God help me," she sighed, a she drew her thread, I have seen hard times since poor John is dead Five bairns to feed—and a hungry crew It takes me all that my hands can do. I toil all day at the Great Hall Farm, To get a few things just to keep them warm, And as for new boots—ah, what ihall I do ? Theirs are dropping to bits, and I can't buy new." Here she turned her eyes to the opened door, A white-robed guest stood upon her floor, But she neither trembled nor shook with dread, Only murmured "some poor soul gone off their head. To come out at night in a garb so thin, Come in, poor creature, come in, come in ?" And the angel stepped, with a smiling face, Into the poor widow's dwelling-place. Woman," the angel said- I come- To take with me 4 one' of your children home, To a fairer, brighter home above, Where all is happiness, peace, and love. Which shall it be ? It will make one less To fend for and feed and provide with dress Which can you spare ? say the word to-night And the child will begone ere the morrow's light." The widow paused-there were five dear heads Laid sweetly to sleep in their humble beds, Johnny was naughty, ah yes, 'twas true But so was Bertie, and Dick and Hugh. And baby Maggie she, could not rest If that tiny lamb were not in its nest; She counted the tale of her children five, But none to the stranger she cared to give. And all at once came a feeling strange, That, hard work or easy, she would not change Her lot with the wealthiest woman aline Who was childless and lonely-for "she" had, five! Lady," said she to her angel guest, I begin to think that the Lord knows best, He sent me these five from his home above, To make up for the loss of their father's love. I know I am poor, that I toil full sore But, somehow—I keep the grey wolf from the door, I kiss my babes when my work is done, Thank you kindly-I can't spare one I" The angel smiled as it passed away, And the widow woke to see dawning of day, Her mended stocking lay on the floor. And the snow had drifted within her door. It came through the crack on her old grey shawl, Which hung on its nail on her kitchen wall. 1 must have dreamed as I dozed" she said, After the children were put to bed." But strange! from the night she dream'd her dream, Luck seemed to come in a flowing stream, Presents came from an unknown hand, No happier woman lived in the land. And she used to say, did her neighbours doubt That her stock of provender would run out, "Nay, nay, my guest will watch o'er my store For she left a blessing within my door!" MARIANNE LESTER.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT PRESTATYN. THE INQUEST: VERDICT OF MANSLAUCHTER. The adjourned inquest touching the death of Jjbn Ellis, Meliden Road, Prestatyn, who died suddenly after a fight with a man named Thomas Jones, tailor, Dyserth, on Saturday, the 3rd inst., took place at the Victoria Hall, Prestatyn, on Monday, before Mr F Llewelyn Jones, Acting Coroner, and a jury, of which Mr Joseph Littler was foreman. Mr Oswald Moseley (of Mr A Foulkea Roberts' office) appeared to watch the mse on behalf of Thomas Jonee. Mr John A Lloyd watched the proceedings on behalf of Mr lenton. licensee of the Railway Hotel, Prestatyn. W illiam Cunnah, Ffordd Isa, Prestatyn, labourer, said he was at the Railway Hotel, Prestatyn, on Saturday, August :Ird. He was setting in the smoke-room. Among others present were Evan Jones, Prestatyn, and Thomas Jones, tailor, Dyserth. Thomas Jones paid for drinks for Evan Jones and himself. While they were in a little girl came to the door and asked him if John Ellis was in. He said to her, I do not know, but I will go and look." He found John EHis standing by the bar. He told him he was wanted outside, and he followed the little girl oat. There was a lady outside waiting for him. Witness returned to the smoke-room. When he got back Thomas Jones said, as he saw John Ellis passing by the door, I want to go and fight with that man." Witness said to him, Don't be so foolish." Thomas Jones said nothing in reply, but went out after the deceased. Witness followed in about two minutes afterwards, and he then saw deceased speaking to a lady outside. Thomas Jones was standing outside near the door, about two or three yards from the deceased. Thomas Jones waited until deceased finished talking to the lady. Then the deceased turned back, and Thomas Jones said, Here I want to talk to you. John Ellis said, What do you want with me ?" and immediately struck Thomas Jones somewhere 00 the chest. Thomas Jones fell to the ground on his knees, and then got hold of John Ellis around his legs with his arms, with the result tha,, deceased fell, striking the back of his head on the window sill. Deceased had a cap or a hat on his head, but was not certain whether he had it on when he fell. Both got up and had another struggle. By that he meant they wrestled with each other. Thomas Jones, after Ellis got up, first hit the deceased on the chest, and afterwards Ellis got hold of Jones by his neck. They both feH down again, A lot of men then came upon the scene and separated the men. The men were not more than two minutes on the ground before they were separated. They did not have another tight after they were separated. The deceased was then taken away towards the bridge by two or three men, and Thomas Jones went to the back oi the Railway Hotel and washed his face, which was bleeding. He afterwards returned inside the hotel. He did not notice whether Thomas Jones, when he first went out, had rolled up his shirt sleeves. ThQmas Jones never took his coat off in the whole fight, and witness was present through- out. After they got into the house someone came in and said that John Ellis was nearly dead. Witness persuaded Thomas Jones to go out and see what was the matter, and he returned and said that Ellis was nearly dead. Witness went to the railway bridge, and when he got there Ellis was dead. Neither the deceased nor Thomas Jones were in drink when they had the tight. But when Thomas Jones came in after the fight the land- lord refused to serve him with drink, though he was not in drink then. By Mr John Lloyd There was no quarrel in the house. Both men were quite orderly there, and both wre quite sober. John Richard Williams, 6, Abbey Street, Rhyl, proprietor of the Prestatyn Jolly Cadets," said he was in Prestatyn about 6 o'clock in the evening of the 3rd of August. He was having his tea at 4, Railway Terrace, which was next door and adjoining the Railway Hotel. He heard a noise outside of people shouting as if there was a brawl going on. He went outside and saw Thomas Jones in a fighting attitude with his coat off, and deceased was standing by the window sill. Thomas .Jones said Come on here,' and deceased came up to Thomas .Jopes and struck him a blow, which brought him half way to the ground. Thomas Jones thereupon got Ellis by the legs, and they both went on the ground. He saw the deceased put his thumb in the mouth of Thomas Jones, and his four fingers on his left cheek, which was scratched. When he saw this he immediately went to separate them. He caught ho4d of John Ellis and raised him un his feet, whereupon John Etlia got free from wttness and rushed up to Thomas Jones and struck him. He again went between them and separated them, and told Thomas Jones not to be so foolish in causing a disturbance, and advised him to go home, and advised Ellis to do the same. John Ellis walked towards the bridge. Though the men had had some drink they were not drunk. Robert Cornwall, Church View, Prestatyn, cab driver, said that on Saturday, the 3rd August, he was by the Railway Hotel. Prestatyn, in charge of a horse. He saw John Ellis coming out of the hotel and speaking to his niece. Thomas Jones, Dyserth, came out after him, and when he came to the door he turned up his coat sleeves and said, Tyd odd'na, John (come along John.) John Ellis turned from his niece and struck Thomas Jones on the left shoulder, hitting him down to the ground. John Ellis stepped over Thomas Jonee, when Thomas Jones got hold of him by the legs and dragged him down, and as he was falling he struck the back of his head on the window sill. He had a cap on, but this came off as he was falling. The men hvt a struggle on the ground, and somebody separated them. Thomas Jones, after he got up, pulled his coat off, and rolled up his shirt sleeves. He said, Come on, John," and they tell on the ground a second time, when they were again separated. After they were separated a second time John Ellis sat on the window sill. Witness had to go away then, and he did not see anything afterwards.. The whole struggle only lasted four or five minutes. Both men were in drink, but not very drunk. By Mr John Lloyd It was because of the way they were fighting that he thought they were drunk. A EytOR Lloyd, said he made a past mortem examination of the body of John Hilis on August ;>th, in conjunction with Dr Wimberley. The body of the deceased was well .nourished and muscular. He was apparently a man of about 3.) or 37 years of age, and was about 5ft 9in. in height. A very careful examination of the external appearances of the body showed no evidence of external injuries, but there was a large amount of post mortem discoloration and stiffen- ing, the discoloration being in the back. The abdominal organs were all perfectly sound and uninjured, the bladder containing urine. The cnest and lungs were sound and healthy. The heart was unusually thin in its walls, and more empty of blood than is usual. It was emphatically a feeble heart, but there was no valvular organic disease. The external appearances of the head were carefully noted, but there was no evidence of injury. Upon removing the scalp evidence of injury was equally absent. In the event of a person receiving a blow upon the skull before death, upon removing the scalp a congested patch or a clot of blood is invariably found corresponding to the external point of contact. There was no injury to the cranium, no crack or fracture, nor was there any injury or extra- vastation of blood on the brain substances. Deceased had a peculiarly faint heart, and there was nothing to account for death but the failure of the heart's action brought on by unusual ex- citement and exertion. If it had not been for the struggle he had heard described it was probable that death would not have taken place. Such excitement might have been brought about by the deceased taking part in a tire or accident, or anything causing mental emotion. In his opinion death was due to the failure of the heart's action, caused partly by the mental emotion and physical exertion attendant upon the struggle. He considered that the struggle and the excite- ment thereon was the immediate cause of the heart's failure. By Mr Moseley He did not think that the exertion involved in climbing the stairs of the railway bridge would have caused the excitement. It might have been caused by climbing a steep hill at a rapid pace. Elizabeth Ann Ellis, Meliden Koad Cottage, Prestatyn, said she was a niece of the deceased. On the 3rd of August, about H p.m., she was by the Railway Hotel, Prestatyn. She sent her sister into the hotel to see whether her uncle was here. He came out of the hotel and came up to her. She wanted him to come home at once. While he was talking to her Thomas Jouea came out and said to Ellis 11 Tyd yma, John." Her uncle turned round and said I will come to you just now, I am engaged now.' Thomas Jones said (in W eh) You can come to me now. Witness tried to persuade her uncle to come, but he refused and said he would follow her directly. Witness immediately left and saw nothing of any struggle. When Thomas Jones was at the door he had his coat on, and she did not notice his slw¥PS turned up. William Downll, Pant y Beuno, Prestatyn, cab driver, said that about 6 p.m. on the 3rd of August he saw John Ellis come out of the Railway Hotel and speak to the last witness. The next thing he noticed was Thomas Jones on the floor and Ellis was stooping over him, holding him down. Jones got hold of Ellis by the leas and deceased fell with his head on the sill, and both fell "to the ground, when they were separated. John EHis sat on the sill of the window and Thomas Jones went aside a bit and pulled his jacket off and turned his shirt sleeves up. He went towards John Ellis and said Come on, Jack, stand before me like a man.'J Both then started fight ing attain. Jones was down on the floor and got hold of Ellis's legs and pulled him down a second time. They were down for a minute or two when they were again separated. Ellis afterwards went up the bridge. Witness then went away with his carriage. John Roberts, plasterer, 1 Nant Terrace, Pres- tatyn, said he saw Jones on the ground and Ellis was standing up. He asked Ellis to go away with him to the other side of the bridge and have a drink on the other side. Ellis replied, "I have plenty of money myself." He saw nothing of the fight, but he persuaded the de- ceased to go up the steps. Ellis walked up the steps himself at an ordinary pace. They reached the top together and looked over the railings to see the volunteer train go out. In a minute or two Ellis fell down on his back. He did not say a word. Witness obtained brandy, but deceased could not take it, dying within a few minutes. He could not say that the men were drunk, although they had had drink- If Ellis had had too much he could not have walked up the steps. Deceased did not complain of feeling ill. By Mr Moseley Deceased was excited. By Mr Lloyd: We were going to the Victoria for drink, and deceased was sober enough to have more. Llewellyn Roberts gave evidence to seeing the men struggling. He saw Jones with his coat on when he came out of the hotel. He afterwards saw the deceased standing by the foot of the bridge in a white and excited manner, although he was smiling. fie urged deceased not to go back again. He did not see deceased fall, but he was present when he died. He could not say that the men were drunk as they held themselves up afterwards. They were between drunk and sober. Katie Morris, barmaid at the Railway Hotel, Prestatyn, said the deceased was served with lemon-dash. He was in drink, but she did not consider him unfit to be served. She did not see Thomas Jones until after the struggle. By Mr Lloyd I have strict orders not to serve a man in drink, and deceased was sober enough to be served. Dr Wimberley, M.D, Prestatyn, said he was called to see the deceased, and found him in a cart and quite dead. He followed the body home, and made a superficial examination of the body, but found no marks about it. On August oth, in conjunction with Dr Lloyd, he made a post- mortem examination of the body. He agreed with Dr Lloyd as to the appearance of the body after death. He agreed that death was due to the failure of the heart's action. The mental excitement added to the physical exertion could lead to the exhaustion of the heart. It would be difficult to say that the mental excitement or the physical exertion alone would cause death. Death was due partially to each. Had nothing else except a fight happened, he did not think death could have taken place. By Mr Moseley Had I not been told of the fight I could not say from the appearance of the body that there had been a struggle. No doubt the walking up the steps would accelerate the difficulty. The struggle would not affect the heart at once. It, would be difficult to say how long it would be before death took place. A person who had taken a quantity of alcoholic liquor would be depressed, and that would affect the heart. The Coroner then reviewed the evidence, and said there was no doubt that Ellis struck the first blow, but Jones took off his coat after the first round in the fight. That was a very important point in the evidence, and the jury would have to bear that fact in mind. By the medical evidence it was clear that Ellifl did not injure himself by the struggle. The question the jury had to consider was this Was death caused or itrcelerated by the fight, wholly or partially, and was the failure of the heart's action the conse- quence of the fight: or secondly, was the failure of the heart's action due to natural causes ? If death was due to excitement alone then the jury would exonerate the man Thomas -iones from all biurne. But on the other hand if they found that the failure of the heart's action was due partially or accelera- ted directly by the exertions which accompanied the fight, or owing directly to the fight, then the question would arise what was the position of Thomas Jones ? If they found that the failure of the heart's action was due to the physical i exertion caused by the fight then the question would arisoe whether anyone was criminally responsible for the death of the deceased. The jury had also to say whether they considered that Jones went out to tight the deceased with the intention of injuring him, and if death resulted from what he did then it would be necessary that a verdijt of wilful murder should be returned. But there was no evidence of premeditation or malice, although it was evident that Jones intended having something out with the defendant. Jones had not elected to give evidence, but it was clear on the evidence that he left the public house with the intention and determination, if there was any aggravation, to have it out with the deceased. It was in the favour of the man Jones that he did not strike the first blow, and if he had only acted in self-defence, and as a result of the exertions then made the deceased died, then Jones would be free from all blame. But unfortunately the evidence showed that Jones took off his coat before the second struggle and stood up before the deceased. If the jury were of the opinion that death was due to or accelerated by what took place during the struggle then they would have to find that Jones was guilty of manslaughter. But if there was any doubt the jury were bound to return an open verdict. After retiring for about a quarter of an hour the jury returned to oourt, and the foreman! handed the Coroner a paper on which was writ- ten The jury unanimously find that John Ellis' death was caused by physical exertion and mental excitement consequent to the struggle. The Coroner said the jury would have to go further than that, and they would have to retire again for the purpose of deciding whether they found that Thomas .Jones had anything to do with it. The Foreman We thought you would fill in that. The Coroner It is for the jury to return the verdict. The jury auain retired and after an absence of about fifteen minutes they returned, when the foreman announced that fifteen out of the six- teen had found that John Ellis' death was caused by physical exertion and mental excitement con- sequent to the struggle with Thomas Jones, but that the said Thomas Jones had no intention of killing the deceased, therefore we find Thomas Jones guilty of manslaughter. The Coroner entered up the verdict in the usual manner, and the inquisition was signed by twelve of the jurors. Thomas Jones was committed for trial on the coroner's warrant, bail being allowed and the wit- nesses were hound over to appear at the trial.

MOEL FAMMAU. MOEL FAMMAU is in strictness Flintonian. The tower erected on the above portion of the Clwydian range is quite visible from Rhyl, and annually visitors go up the Vale by train and tramp up to the memorial tower. We are proud of it as a noble feature in our landscape, and the spot upon which the Jubilee Memorial was erected in 1810, in hon- our of the very first British Sovereign, of the Hanoverian line, who had been born in our coun- try. The inhabitants of Flintshire and Denbigh- shire, on that occasion determined to put up the memorial in question, upon the compJetionl of the fiftieth year of the King's reign. With great propriety they gave the place of honour to the Lord Lieutenant of our own county Sir Watkin Wynn was being content to occupy the second place, as Lord Lieutenant of Denbighshire, for he, and those who were acting with him felt that Fliat as of right, should stand highest, upon the emi- nence which nature had placed within her own proper bounds. The committee in like manner, with the sanction of the Prince of Wales, appointed Lord Kenyon, a Flintshire man, to lay the foundation stone of the Jubilee Memorial, and when he had done so, Mr Harrison, the architect, read to the assembled people the following inscription, which was about to be affixed to the stone :— This stone was laid by George Lord Kenyon, Baron of Gredington in Flintshire he being graciously deputed by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, for and in his name to lay the same; when the Right Hon. Earl Grosvenor and Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., were Lords-Lieutenants of the Counties of Flint and Denbigh, in the Sheriffalty of Richard Lloyd, jf Fron Haulog, and Francis Richard Price of Bryn-y-pys, Esquires, in the presence of the Nobility. Gentry, and Yeomanry of each County. It being part of the foundation of an Edifice to be erected by Voluntary Subscription in commemoration of our much beloved and revered Monarch GEORGE THE THIRD King of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland completing the fiftieth year of His Glorious Reign and upon the 25th day of October in the year of the Christian 1810." A well-known writer of the period says—" The coins and medals deposited under the first stone were put into a vase, and consisted of the tollow- in :—A guinea of George III. a half guinea after the Union with Ireland a gilt medal of his Majesty, on his completing the fiftieth year of his reign, with the motto, "We praise thee, O God", a white medal of his Majesty on the same occasion, expressing also the Union with Ireland and the universal joy of the nation a bronze medal of his Majesty, the reverse alluding to the Victories of the War, especially Lord Nelson's glorious victory of the Nile, 1798 a bronze medal of his Majesty, on his preservation from an assassin in 1810 a bronze medal on the Union with Ireland in Jan. 1801 a bronze medal on the Peace, 1802 a bronze medal of the Prince and Princess of Wales; a bronze medal of Earl Howe, on his glorious victory 4th June, 1794 a bronze medal of Marquis Corn- wallis, on receiving Tippoo Sultan's sons as host- ages in 1792; a bronze medal of Lord Nelson, from the statue erected at Birmingham in his glorious memory." It had been intended that, our countryman the Rev Mr Williams, of Vron, should rccite some verses of his own at this great gathering, but he was too unwell to attend, but he sent the follow- ing lines to Lord Kenyon, who read them out, with good effect: Alas on this auspicious day When Cambria's sons their zeal display That with remorse, disease and anguish, A Bard on his sick bed should languish Though none more loyal were than he, How could he show his loyalty 1 Lo fate decreed, for ends unknown, Left to lament and pine alone In sickness, ailence, sadness, mourning, With heart-felt disappointment burning, Unconscious of the glorious sight Upon Moel Famma's awful height, Where Cambria told, with joy unfeign'd How long her gracious King had reigned Though here my body lay, My heart was there as blithe as May In thought I joined the jovial rout In thought I joined the loyalshout In thought I heard Moel Famma ring, Loud echoing Long live the king And while one spark of life remains, Still will I join the loyal strains, And never, never cease to pray To Heaven to bless this happy day. For two generations at least, that ugly, but notable monument commanded attention but bad work- manship, the blighting influence of our stormy cli- mate, and the neglect of the public authorities, led to its ruin, and for many past years, the remains of the Jubilee Memorial, have been a standing. re- proach to us, as a people.
