"Making Crime instead of Decreasing it." A PRISONER S VIEW OF HIS SENTENCE. "A DANGEROUS MAN. At the Rhyl Police Court on Monday, before Messrs W Elwy Williams and Jno Foulkes, John Spencer, 29 St Asaph Road, Abergele, was brought up in custody on a charge of begging iu Kinmel Street on Saturday night. He was further charged with drunken- ness and disorderly behaviour at the same time. He stoutly denied both offences, alleging that the charges had been trumped up against him with the object of depriving him of his living. P.S. E. Roberts stated that he found the defendant drunk and begging in a most impudent- way. He was going from door to door, and if he could not lay hands on the knocker or bell at once he terrified the occupiers by thumping the door violently with his fist. Defendant had been previously cautioned. In one instance defend- ant tried to get into the house. P.O. Rogers having given corroborative evidence, ° Defendant demanded an adjournment of the case, so that he might obtain witnesses to substantiate his version. He had been hawking in Rhyl for 17 years and had always got his living by civility. To further prove their case, the police called Robert Jolley, plumber, Elwy Street, who stated that his wife was one of the persons who was frightened by defendant's knocking. Asked by defendant why he was not taken into custody when he was first seen, witness re- plied, "I suppose they were giving you rope enough to hang yourself (laughter). Inspector Pearson said that if the Bench adjourned the case he would get some of the ladies defendant called upon to give evidence. Defendant—And I will too. Dealing with the second charge, P. S. Roberts stated that not only was defendant drunk and disorderly in the street, but after he was locked up witness had to Lake off his boots, as the man threatened to kick his cell door down. Defendant, after complaining that he was not getting a fair trial, asked witness "Didn't I demand to see the police doctor ? Witness-The Inspector told you that if you could put the money down you could have a doctor. Defendant-I had a right to see the police doctor. What is he for but to prove whether a man is drunk or not. P.C. Rogers stated that they left defendant alone for fully ten minutes before interfering with him, so that he had plenty of rope. Defendant was not hawking at all. Mr Jolley said that nobody but a drunken man would have conducted himself as defendant did. Defendant said it was no use objecting to all this trumped up evidence. For all he knew, tho last witness micrht be engaged to give evidence in such cases. Inspector Pearsoi-i-Air Jolley has never before given evidence here since I have been in Rhyl. The Chairman—We happen to know this man (Mr Jolley), aim we believe he has spoken the truth. Defendant--I have a character, too, to main- tain. I have been cumin-* to Rhyl hawking for 17 years, and I defy the police or anybody else to certify that I have insulted anybody during that period. I am crippled in one leg, and they take me to be drunk when I am only limping. Other cases in Rhyl, fitr worse than mine, have been allowed to go, even though they nearly amounted to murder. What about Mary Lewis, who starved her child ? This is a case in which they are tryin" to deprive me of my living. ° Inspector Pearson said that defendant was an old hand, but he had no list. Defendant—Will you Swear that on oath? If I am convicted to-day and my living is taken out of my hands, I shall be a beggar when I come out of prison. You are only making crime instead of decreasing it. If you had coffee houses in the town instead of public house?, things might be different. Inspector Pearson said the limping defendant had referred to did not prevent him from carrying on in a very disorderly manner for nearly two hours after he was locked up. The Chairman said that begging which was bad enough in the day time and much worse at night, seemed to be getting a regular trade here. Defendant—This is the first time in 17 years that I have been charged with anything of the kind, and if you look over it I will clear out of the country altogether. The Chairman replied that they could not do that. For the first offence he would be fined os and 7s 4d costs, and for the second 5s and 6s costs, with the alternative of seven days' hard labour in each case. His pedling certifi- cate would also be cancelled. Defendant—Then I am a beggar when 1 come out of prison. The Chairman-—^ ou should keep yourself sober. Defendant-I shall communicate with the Home Secretary about you (pointing to the police). Inspector Pearson ou are a dangerous man.

Football. The Combination tourney was advanced a con- siderable stage further on Saturday, when seven matches were decided, six resulting in favour of the homesters. Rhyl were at home to Nantwich, with whom they had previously drawn (2-2), and on this occasion they proved easy winners by 3 goals to 0. -k Wipan Town put up a good fight at Tranmere, but the Rovers always held the opposition and won by two to nil. A keen struggle attended the meeting of the Druids and Bangor, the game ending one goal each. The home side failed to take the lead from a penalty kick in the closing stages. A penalty also played an important part in the Broughton United and Crewe Alexandra game, for it was from a penalty that the Welshmen scored the only goal of the match. l'ort Sunlight paid a fruitless visit to Glossop, the Derbyshire team winning by a goal to nothing, and a similar result attended the meeting ot Oswestry and Birkenhead, the home side in this case also proving successful. By beating Chester by 2 goals to 0 Whitchurch went a long way towards making their position at the head of the table a fairly safe one. THE COMBINATION. —Goals— Pltl. Won. Lost. Drn. For. Agst.

Entrusted with the ensuing penalty kick, he got his own back by landing the ball safely in the net. A little later the visitors temporarily lost the services of their left half-back in consequence of a collision with Whitelock. Notwithstanding this check, however, they pressed for a time, and T M Jones had great difficulty in saviug a hot shot from Case. E Davies made two or three deserving attemps on behalf of Rhyl, but lacked adequate support from his partner and D Hughes also gave a good ac- count ot himself. Pelrie's absence, however, was much felt. At half-time Rhyl were "one up., On resuming the homesters continued to have the best ot matters, notwithstanding that they were now playing against the wind. Whitelock put on the second and best goal of the match, thanks to judicious passing by Williams and Davies. To vary matters a bit an attack was made by the visitors and the home citadel nearly came to grief, White missing the net by inches only. Jack Jones and Ogilvie eventually afforded relief, and the ball sailed away to the Nantwich end aud once again found the net, as a result of a hard drive by Wil- liams, who secured a smart pasa from Lapping. IQ the last few minutes of the game the visitors anajn st.pnue hard for an oDening, but found the the Rhyi defence too good for them, Vernon Jones being a particularly formidable tackier. The game ended in a rather one-sided victory for Rhyl by ;)-0.

The Victorias played a grand game throughout and won comfortably by five goals to one. After the match the Vies and officials (Messrs A Hanlon, hoo. sec., J Doran and J Hayes, committee men), and a few friends from Llandudoo, sat down to a splendid repast at Richardson's Hotel, Llanduduo, at the expense of the chairman of the committee, Mr T RobiDson.

Gwespyr School Question. TO THE EDITOR OF THE RIIYL JOURNAL. SIK.—Observations on a certain letter of mine by Mr W Bulcock, J P., appeared in your last issue. To read observations on a letter they had not seen cannot be very interestin to your readers. I, therefore, oncl ,ge a copv of the one that appeared in the "Prestatyn Weekly." Mr Bulcock describes the letter as 11 inaccurate in its statements and misleading as a whole." That is a very promising beginning for some destructive work on the letter. One wonid expect some stubborn facts and demonstrative proofs to substantiate such drastic assertions. Mr Bulcock thinks that throwing some abusive terms at, and imputipg bad motives to the author of the letter, is the better method of proving the inaccuracy of its statements. Few, I believe, even of his friends, will value such work. Let me inform Mr

I Khyl Petty Sessions. FACTORY ACT PROSECUTION. TUESDAY.—Before Messrs S Perks (chair- man), W Elwy Williams and J H Ellis. The Crown Inn, Ffynnongroew. On the application of Mr Rowlands (from the office of Mr J Pierce Lewis) the licence of the Crown Inn, Ffynnongroew, was temporarily transferred from Thomas Llewelyn Bayiiss, now of Mold, to Joseph O'Connor, of the Royal Victoria Hotel, Prestatyn, Supt Robert Jones remarking that he was quite satisfied with the way in which Mr O'Connor had managed the Victoria Hotel. A Now Comer. Elizabeth Parry, a married woman liv- ing at 2 Royal Oak Square, admitted that she was drunk and disorderly in Queen Street on the 10th inst, and, on the evi- dence of P.O. Rogers, was lined 28 6d and 6s costs. Inspector Pearson remarked that he knew of no previous case against defend- ant, as she had not been long in the town. Z, A Midnight Disturbance. I don't know whether I was drunk or not, but I suppose I will have to plead guilty" said William Williams, town porter, 3 Wellington Terrace, when called upon to answer a charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct in Wellington Road at about midnight on the loth inst. P.C. Thos Foulkes,who proved the case, said that defendant kept up his disorderly conduct for two hours after witness got him into his house. Inspector Pearson said defendant had not been iined for drunkenness before, but he had had to pay costs in a case of child neglect which he brought upon himself through drunkenness. A fine of 2s Gd and 6s costs was imposed. His Thirtieth Appearance. Isaac Jones, labourer, 175 Vale Road. was summoned by David Jones, labourer, -190 Vale Road, for assault and battery. Complainant stated that while he was proceeding along Rhuddlan Road on the 16th inst, defendant came up to him, and without any provocation kicked him and knocked him about, all because he refused to give him any money to get some beer. He also threatened to pull witness' guts out. Defendant was on the job" again the previous day (Monday). Defendant—Didn't you come up to me and begin talking about John Evans Z, stealing a pair of trousers ? Complainant—No. John Lenry Davies, a gardener, corrob- orated complainant's version of the assault. Defendant said the dispute began with complainant commencing to talk about the theft of a pair of trousers. Witness did not want to listen to the story, and as he moved away complainant shoved him, and got shoved in return—that was all. Inspector Pearson said defendant had been up on 29 previous occasions, the last being in December, when he was fined for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and bound over to keep the peace for three months, which period had just expired. Defendant—I have never broken my character in my life (loud laughter). Inspector Pearson added that on the occasion under notice he had instruc- tions from the works at which complain- ant was engaged to see that he was protected. Defendant elected to put in 14 days' hard labour as an alternative to a fine of 10s and 14s costs. Unfenced Machinery. Edwin Jones and Sons, proprietors of Morley Road Sawmills, were summoned for not having certain machinery fenced. The offence was a mitted. Mr John Hilditch, inspector of factories and workshops, stated that on February 9, he visited defendants' works, and found a gas engine at work, the flywheel making about 180 revolutions per minute. The engine was properly housed, but both flywheels, about 5 feet in diameter, and also the main crank and the main driving belt were entirely unprotected and therefore most dangerous. In the machine shop he found shafting and gearing in an unprotected state. He pointed these things out to someone con- nected with the firm, and on February 12 he wrote to the firm asking them to deal with the matter as soon as ,possible. On March 1st he had occasion to visit the premises in connection with an accident which had occurred, and he then found that absolutely no attempt had been made to carry out the in- structions given there on February ith. In a day or two after that visit he received a letter stating that the work he required had been carried out. He had visited the place since, and found that the work had been fairly carried out on the whole. The engine had been running for four months in the state in which he first found it, and had a fatal accident occurred in connection with it, it would have been a very serious matter for the firm. Mr Llewelyn Jones, representing de- fendants, said they bad been very busy getting things straight, and unfortunately they were not straight when the inspector called upon them. Mr W Elwy WillAams-Is everything made up to your satisfaction now inspector ? Mr Hilditch replied that all the work had not been done when he last visited the premises. Mr Jones—Everything has been done since. You mentioned that you came down in connection with an accident. Had that accident anything to do with the fencing at all ? Mr Hilditch—Oh, no. There is no charge in respect to that. The Chaiiman said that as it was defendants' first offence they would deal very lightly with it. Defendants would be fined 5s and 10s 6d costs.

Bulcock plainly, if he can point out any inaccurate or misleading statement in my letter, it wiil afford me as mncb pleasure to either justify er withdraw it as it did j to write it at first. So far, we have had nothing from him but words, asssrtions and no evidence. I Mr Bulcock pretends to answer the question, Should theGwespyr school be stopped?" by the query, Should it ever have been opened The writer, I suppose, considers that a very masterful answer. Your readers. I presume, consider it. to use Mr Bulcock's classics] trm, a rather" naively" method of answering. If he were to read my letter again, and put a little more thought and less imagination in his reading, he will find, I hope, a better answer. Mr Bnlcock invites his readers to follow him into the matter—the matter of Mr Meurig Joaes' letter, one would expect-but behold, to our great disBDpointment. he misses the matt, rand plunges into the mud, a creation of his own, and throws handsful of l it at myself and the supporters of Gwespyr school. Mr Bnlcock's reference to the meeting held at Talacre Arms is important; whether he represents the conveners f of that meeting and supporters of the new school as being one and 'the same persons, accurately, concerns them alone. Mr Bulcock goes on to say, It was unanimously decided (at that meeting) that Sir Pyers and Lady Mostyn should continue to carry on the Talacre schools as heretofore Sir Pyers and Lady Mostyn agreed to do ac." By heretofore I under- stand as the Talacre schools had been carried on since the Education Act of 1002 came int) power, i.e., a Non- Provided Public Elementary School in the true sense of the term. Now. does Mr Balcock seriously mean to tell us that Sir Pvers and Lady Mogtyo agreed tD carry on the schools in that sense of the term" If that had been the case no one, I believe, would have thought of opening and supporting a new school at Gwesj.yr. How will Mr Bulcock reconcile his statement with the following resolution passed at the managers' meeting on I October 20th, 1905, at Talacre Hall: The school to be given up to the trnstees, to be by them managed at the expense of Sir Pyers and Lady Mostyn as a private certified elementary school, instead of as a public ele- mentary school, as heretofore. When Mr Bulcock had the impudence of accusing me of perverting facts." I cannot but think that his own statements were upper- most in his mind at the time. Of the" darts" and" arrows" he refers to. I defy Mr Bulcock or anyone else to prove that I have said anything. in public, or in the Press, disrespectful about Talacre school or the Roman Catholics. I wish and want the Roman Catholics to have their rights, but not to have our children. If Mr Bulcock is unable to distinguish between dust and facts it is not my fault. Whether this is a question of "rates or other- wise depends on the man himself. Mr Bulcock seems to put more value on a penny in the rates than on political and religious freedom, rights and privileges. The 13") ratepayers who voted at Ffynnongroew for Gwaspyr echool seem to be much higher bidders for principles than thia gentleman, who is a Justice of the Peace. .That I have tried to set the diil'erent denominations and churches at variance" is untrue, and Mr Bulcock knows that I have done my best to secure to the children of Gwespyr the same educational treatment as all other children of England and Wales get. Peace with honour is worth lihting for. To be spoken against for doing my duty to the children that are partly under my carf', by Mr Bulcock, will not dishearten me. I would rather be a disturbing brook than a quiet pool. Unless Mr Bulcock shows better capacity to appreciate facts, principles and honour. I must treat any further contribution of his as unworthy of my notice. A good terrier never shakes a rat twice.-Yours truly, Llanasa. D. MEURIO JONES.
