St. Asaph County Court. A PUBLIC GRIEVANCE. THE BUDGET BOGEY. The County Court was held at St. Asaph on Friday, before His Honour Judge Moss and Mr. Registrar Fenna. The list was the heaviest be- fore the Court for many months, and the Judge arrived by an earlier train than usual to deal with it, but several of the more important cases were settled, so that the proceedings were un- expectedly brief. His Honour took the defended cases in his private room while the Registrar heard the undisputed claims in the ordinary Court. ST. ASAPH COURT INCONVENIENCE. During the proceedings the solicitors exper- ience some difficulty in attending the two Courts, which were sitting at one time. The Registrar said he would do all he could to oblige solicitors, and did take what cases he could out of order. Mr. Pierce Lewis remarked that there was a strong feeling among the solicitors that there was great inconvenience in attending the Court when it was held at St. Asaph, and he hoped that the petition, which was signed some time ago and forwarded to the Judge for the abolition of the St. Asaph Court, would be bear fruit. He pointed out that persons who had little business at the Court had to remain in St. Asaph for hours owing to the poor train service. In fact, one of his clients finished her case just at 12 o'clock, and yet had to stay in the city until 2.30. Personally he felt that there was an unnecessary waste of time in entering cases for St. Asaph. Other solicitors endorsed Mr. Pierce Lewis' remarks. THE RING AND THE BOOK." When a lady defendant entered the box to answer for a debt of £2 4s. -d., she declared that she would never pay it until a ring she had given to a man who took her order was returned. The Registrar explained to her that she had been put in Court by a man who had had the debt assigned to him. All he had to do was to deal with the facts. The woman explained that she owed the debt, she had given orders to a man named Leventhall who called on her. The plaintiff, who gave his Christian name as Solomon," said it was very hard on him. He had had the debt assigned to him, and knew nothing about the ring. The woman further stated that the ring was worth 30s., and she gave it to Mr. Leventhall to repair 18 months ago. Whenever she asked him for it he said he had forgotten it. The plaintiff repeated that he knew nothing about the ring, and suggested that the defendant should find Mr. Leventhall. The Registrar said he could not give the plaintiff judgment on the facts as before him. He did not think it fair that a man should take the defendant's ring, worth 30s., and then with- out returning it assign a debt of 2 4s. 7d. over to the plaintiff. He adjourned the case in order that the debtor could either enter a counter- claim, a set-off, or sue Ir. Leventhall. The plaintiff protested against what he termed hard treatment," and thought the case should be settled. CAN A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY BE ILL. Mr. Gascoyne applied for an undefended case to be again adjourned. The Registrar This case is getting rather stale now. This is the third or fourth adjournment. What is the reason to-day? Mr. Gascoyne I think perhaps my client is ill. (Laughter). The Registrar: I see it is a limited liability company. Are they ill? (Laughter). Mr. Gascoyne I think that the one who can prove it is ill. The Registrar He must come up to scratch. I shall strike it out, and you must re-enter it. BAD BUSINESS. In a case in which a travelling draper was the plaintiff, it was stated that the original debt was only is. 6d., and is. had been paid off this since the summons. Judgment was given for 6d. with 2S. COStS. AN OLD FRIEND. On a case being called in which a Prestatyn lady was the defendant, the Registrar remarked: I see this is my old friend. (Laughter). I cannot make an order for more than 5s. a month against her." PERHAPS!" A travelling draper plaintiff asked that the Registrar would give him an immediate order in a case against a labouring man, and he explained that the defendant recently wrote him asking what he would take to settle the debt. He re- plied, making a reduction for an immediate settlement, but the money was not forthcoming. He had since heard that the man had come into ^100,and that he was likely to leave the country. The Registrar: If he had rioo he is not likely to leave the country. Plaintiff: He might take his money to another country. Mr. Pierce Lewis: He may go to another country where he can get better investments, and no Budgets. (Laughter). The Registrar made an order forthwith.

Quarry Accidents in Wales. EVIDENCE BEFORE ROYAL COMMISSION ENQUIRY. The Royal Commission on Metalliferous Mines and Quarries sat again on Saturday, in London, under the presidency of Sir Henry Cunyng- hame. Further evidence was given by workmen at slate and granite quarries in North Wales. Mr. Morris D. Jones, inside worker at the Dinorwic Quarry, said one out of every three got injured at the quarry in the open, according to the last statistics. He believed the number of accidents would be reduced if all the quarries were worked under the same Act of Parliament. Only one accident occurred at Dinorwic during the last two years through blasting. He be- lieved that the payment of a weekly wage in- stead of the present piecework system would be conducive to a reduction of accidents. The workers now earned nothing sometimes for a week, and then they hurried in order to make up their wage. It was then that accidents occurred. A minimum wage ought to be guar- anteed, Mr. W. R. Williams, an old worker at Doro- thea Slate Quarry, North Wales, and Mr. W. H. Jones, an employee at the Alexandra Slate Quarrv (which are open slate quarries under the pit method), gave evidence. The former advo- catedbettersanitaryconditions. With regard to Government inspection, the witness said he had no complaint to make against it, except that the Inspector should not go round with the quarry official. He did not think there was anything wrong in the Inspector being accompanied bv the quarry official, except that it did not give the men a chance of making their complaints to the Inspector. He would be satisfied if the men's representatives were allowed to go round occasionally with the Inspector, as in the case of coal mines. Evidence was given from the Penmaenmawr granite quarries that the management there, by means of fans, were doing everything possible to minimise the effect of the dust. The dust in the crushing department at the quarry had a bad effect on the kidneys. The inquiry then adjourned until September.

Dinarth Hall Pony Stud. ANOTHER SUOCESSF'JL SALE. A NEW YORK PURCHASER. The fourth biennial sale of hackney and Welsh I ponies, the pioperty of Messrs. John Jones and Son, was conducted at the Dinarth Hall Pony Stud, on Thursday, by Messrs. Hemy Manley and Sons, Ltd., auctioneers, Crewe. The stock comprised brood1 mares, foals and young stock, and made harness horses, cobs and ponies. With the exception of a few of the made harness cobs and ponies, which were typical specimens of those hitherto offered for sale at Dinarth, all had been .bred at home and claimed direct lineage from the famous stud horse Julius Caesar II., and the well known brood mares that have roamed the Dinarth Hall pastures for several years. At the last sale in 1908, six ponies bred at the stud realised 895 guineas, giving an average of £ 156 12s. 6d. each. Two of the ponies, Julia Dot and Julia Gobang, were purchased by a Colonial buyer, and have been exhibited repeat- edly IN SOUTH AFRICA against all heights, and they still possess an un- beaten record. This year's catalogue included a full brother and sister of Champion "Fireboy," a full brother and sister of Tower Rois Earl (the champion harness pony) and a full brother to Champion Torchlight. When Mr. Manley entered the rostrum, theres was a large gathering of distinguished buyers on the grand stand which had been erected and surrounding the paddock. In the course of a few remarks, Mr. Manley sympathetically re- ferred to the demise of the senior member of the firm of Messrs. John Jones and Son, but he was glad that Mr. T. J. Jones was following his father's footsteps and producing the same re- sults. He had no new theology to preach, but one of the important factors in a stud of that character was to have brood mares of approved merit, and as far as the sire was concerned, Julia Caesar II. stood out in the world to-day absolutely pre-eminent. The Welsh ponies were FAMOUS ALL OVER THE WORLD, and there was only one place in the world where they could be bred, and that was on the Welsh hills. With regard to the last sale in 1908, only three animals out of 62 were withdrawn, and the only reason that they were bought in was that they were not fit for the market. They were prepared to treat the buyers fairly that day, and they could take it from him that with the excep- tion of three ot four lots, all the horses would be sold without reserve, and nobody was present on the ring side to represent Mr. T. J. Jones. The first lot was a brood mare, Lady Jones," winner of many prizes, for which Mr. Burton, St. Asaph, paid 13 guineas. For the foal Mr. Wil- son, Nantwich, paid 13 guineas. Spring of Horace," a harness or brood mare 13.1J hands, was bought by Mr. Hayes, Rochdale, for 31 guineas, and the dark bay filly foal realised 11$ guineas, the purchaser being Mr. Catlow, Pade- ham, Lancashire, who afterwards re-sold it to Mr. Hayes, the purchaser of the mare. Mr. Weager, Brighton, bought Welsh Fashion," a harness or brood mare of excellent character, for 17 guineas, andi he was also the buyer of the brown colt foal, which fetched 13 guineas. The first lot of real importance was the brood mare Peggy Sure Four," described by the auctioneer as the best brood mare in England. The bidding started at 50 guineas, and soon rose to 85 guineas, at which price it was knocked down to Mr. Moore, Egremont. A chestnut colt foal, son of "Peggy Sure Four," and sired by Julius Caesar II., and only five weeks old, was withdrawn at 40 guineas. Mr. Radford, Roch- dale, bought Londesborough Whitesocks," a beautiful hackney brood mare, for 28 guineas. The chestnut filly foal fetched 15 guineas, the buyer being lr. Whittaker, Manchester. Another chestnut colt foal was bought for 8 guineas by Mr. Downes, Rotherham. Miss KJandy," a show harness or brood mare with an excellent reputation realised 27 guineas from Mr. Lewis, Seafield, Leith. May flower," one of the best 13 hand Galloway ponies in Wales, was knocked down to Mr. Kennedy, Dublin, for 16 guineas. Lot 14 was the three year old filly Lilly wen," described as the perfection of type, and a winner of numerous prizes. This was with- drawn at 95 guineas. The 3 year old filly Julia Anwyl, was also withdrawn at 105 guineas. Later, however, the auctioneer announced that Mr. Warwick Fowel, of Crewe, had purchased both these animals and another three year old named Quicksilver for 220 guineas. Jack," a chestnut two year old filly, own sister to u Hulloa," recently sold for 250 guineas, was knocked down to Mr. George Bond, London, for 27 guineas, whilst Mr. Fletcher, London, was the buyer of Julia Confina," also a two year old, for 34 guineas. A two year old filly, Julia Sprig," was bought by Mr. Bowers,Nantwich, for 28 guineas, and "Luscious," also a two year old, was withdrawn at 30 guineas. The following prices were obtained for yearling fillies:—Mr. Duokworth, Norwich, 32 guineas; Mr. Jones, Llandilo, 27 guineas; Mr. John Jones, Kilford, Denbigh, 27 guineas; Miss Lort, Carnarvon, 17 guineas; Mr. Ewing, Belfast, 20 guineas. One yearling was withdrawn at 16 guineas, and the daughter of Mayflower, the racing pony, was withdrawn at 18 guineas. The chestnut two year old hackney colt Dinarth Danegelt 11012," winner of first at Carnarvon on the only time shown, was with- drawn at 50 guineas. A bay colt, Bournages 10956," a brother of Champion Fireboy," was sold to Mr. Bowers, Nantwich, for 42 guineas. A brown colt, "lerrie Magpie 11149," which was described as royally bred, fetched 30 guineas the purchaser being Mr. Duckworth, Norwich. Caesar Gobanog," which has a reliable pedi- gree, started at 40 guineas, and at 65 guineas it was withdrawn. The best price for a single animal in the sale was obtained for the bay two year old colt u Little Imp 11112," the sire being Julius Cassar," and the dam Kindergarten Gem." The animal was described) as a very strong candidate for premier honours next March. There was some keen bidding, and ultimately it was knocked down to Mr. Peer, New York, for no guineas. Sinna 112.11," a light chestnut two year old, only fetched 22 guineas, Mr. Duckworth, Norwich, being the buyer. Other prices realised were chestnut yearling colt, 40 guineas, Mr. Bowers, Nantwich; dark brown yearling, 50 guineas, Mr. Bowers; I Jew," a two year old gelding, 14 guineas, Mr. Jones, Llandilo Fiery Caesar," two year old, 17 guineas, Mr. Hull, Crewe; Taffy," two year old, 18 guineas, Mr. Peter Holden, West Houghton u Bravo," three year old gelding, 29 guineas, Mr. Catlow, Padeham; dark cream yearling gelding, 13 guineas, Mr. Bowers, Nant- wich bay yearling geldings, 14 guineas, Mr. Bowers. A bay three year old old colt, Mys- tery," was bought by Mr. Weager, Brighton, for 26 guineas. The best lot of the day was the three year old colt Little Fire 10735," sired by Fire Boy." This stallion has won many prizes, and THE HIGHEST HONOURS are in store for it. The bidding started at 100 guineas, and at 190 guineas it had to be with- drawn. A bay, four year old harness or saddle mare, Height of Fashion," 16 hands, a fine, big, upstanding carriage mare, was sold to Mr. Hollingsworth, Oldham, for 70 guineas. A chestnut show, harness or saddle, mare Little Candy with a fine character was bought by Mr. Williams, Redruth, Cornwall, for 53 guineas, and Moordale Belle," which was described as a showyard novice, was bought by Mr. Hollings- worth for 85 guineas.

Knott, Llandudno Junction, for 52 guineas; "Aeriel Lady," a chestnut roan, was bought by Mr. Bowers for 50 guineas. "Berkeley Beauty," a fine four year old show pony, bred by Dr. Evans, Criccieth, and a winner of five first prizes, was bought by Mr. Jackson, Rhos-on- Sea, for 42 guineas.

The Summer School at Colwyn Bay. A VISIT TO PENRHOS COLLEGE. AN ENJOYABLE AFTERNOON AND AN INSPIRING ADDRESS. On Thursday afternoon the members of the Summer School of Temperance, Hygiene, and Physical Training, promoted by the North Wales Temperance Federation, and now being held at Colwyn Bay, accepted an invitation by Miss Hovey, B.A., Principal of Penrhos College, to visit the College and partake of tea. About seventy teachers and friends were present, and also the Rev. J. Glyn Davies, of Rhyl, Secretary of the North Wales Temperance Federation, and Organiser of the Summer School; together with Messrs. Avery Roff, of London, and S. Glynne Jones, B.A., of Colwyn Bay, lecturers. Miss Hovey and Miss Ethel Hovey received their guests at the entrance to the College, and afterwards escorted them over the school pre- mises. which came in for universal admiration. In addition to the various class rooms, music rooms, studies, &c., the visitors were also taken to inspect the handsome department recently erected, to enable the pupils to study botany, which has a fine conservatory adjoining. The opinion unanimously expressed was that the Col- lege was most admirably equipped, and great interest was taken by the teachers in the up-to- date apparatus which is used. Tea was served in the spacious gymnasium, which also serves as a concert hall, and at the close an impromptu programme of music was given, the arrangements of which had been made oy Mr. Glyn Davies. Mr. J. G. Thomas, Cwmyglo, played a fantasia of Welsh airs and also acted as accompanist. Mrs. Reece, Llan- gynog, sang Y Fam a'i Baban," and Mr. Jones, Nant Peris, also rendered a song. Mrs. Taylor, Llangefni, sang By the Fountain," and reicta- tions were given by Mr. R. G. Evans, Bryn- gwran, and Mr. T. J. Jones, Prenteg; Mr. Ivor Evans, Abergele, rendering a song. The Rev. J. Glyn Davies, in proposing a vote of thanks to Miss Hovey and her sister for hav- ing entertained them, remarked that he had asked Miss Hovey to give an address at the Summer School, but this she found herself un- able to do, and issued the invitation instead. He was sure they had all been deeply interested in what they had seen, which would give many of them new ideas on the subject of education. (Applause.) Mr. S. Glynne Jones, in seconding, paid an eloquent tribute to Miss Hovey's abilities as a Principal, and declared that her record made him feel proud of being a member of the same profession as she. (Applause.) He also re- ferred to the great interest she took in all good work. Mr. Richard Davies, Llangefni, and Mrs. Wil- liams, Festiniog, supported, and it was carried by acclamation. Miss Hovey, who was warmly applauded upon rising to acknowledge the vote of thanks ac- corded; to herself and her sister, said that her reason in declining Mr. Glyn Davies' invitation to give a lecture to the members of the Summer School was that she felt the students would probably know more about the subject of tem- perance and hygiene than she. (Laughter.) She therefore arranged the visit to Penrhos Col- lege as an alternative, and was pleased the teachers, many of whom she understood were head teachers, had been interested in what they had seen. (Applause.) The speaker expressed her deepest sympathy with the objects of the Summer School, firstly, from the temperance point of view, and secondly from the educational point of view. She was a teetotaler herself, and tried to influence her pupils in that direction. At the College they did not give scientific de- monstrations on the matter, as was the excellent custom in the elementary schools, principally on account of lack of time, but the pupils were ad- dressed once a year by the speaker on the sub- ject of temperance, and on that occasion asked to sign the pledge. (Applause.) Miss Hovey considered total abstinence very valuable from the point of view of self-control. It was of great assistance in the formation of a child's character when it definitely undertook not to commit an action which it knew to be wrong, and the fact of it having promised acted as a moral support in the face of temptation. The promise assisted in keeping down the poor, worst side of human nature, and in uplifting the better and higher side. The self-control acquir- ed through signing the pledge might well enable a child to say No to many of the lower ten- dencies of humanity. (Applause.) Speaking on the subject of present-day educa- tion, Miss Hovey said that whilst showing the teachers over the College, she had heard several of them exclaim in despair We had better give up teaching and go to America." (Laughter.) But that they must not do, and although they might feel somewhat discouraged at the thought of how indifferently the equipment of their schools compared with that of the College, yet they should not lose heart. Let them remember that even Penrhos College was not built in a day. Their schools might not be beautiful build- ings, but the teachers could improve them were they to hang pictures on the walls within, and attempt to give to the interior an air of refine- ment. The speaker had visited rooms of head teachers in the elementary schools, which showed nothing but bare walls, even the paint work being shabby. In her opinion, Councils and Boards would be more willing to spend money on the decoration of schools when they saw an intelligent interest being taken in the matter by the head teachers. The speaker con- sidered that one of a teacher's duties was to instil refinement into her pupils, and she deeply sympathised with teachers in the elementary schools who, unlike those at such an institution as the College, had so much to contend with on account of the wretched home life of so manv of the children. Nevertheless, Miss Hovey often envied the teachers in elementary schools, as they had such great opportunities for doing good. The most important work of a teacher was that which lay outside routine—the work for which she was not paid. If a teacher rigidly confined herself to teaching the various subjects at the appointed hours, then she was unworthy of her high calling. Let the teachers remember that theirs was a noble profession, ex- celling in the opinion of many divines even that of the church. The instruction of the young was a great and solemn charge, and it behoved them to leave no stone unturned to prove themselves worthy of it. (Applause.) Referring to a remark made by Mr. Glyn Davies to the effect that Flintshire was the only county of North Wales not represented at the Summer School, Miss Hovey said she felt sure the County Council could not have considered the matter in a proper light, and that they would not hold out another year. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Glyn Davies said that they all hoped Miss Hovey and her sister might have a pleas- ant holiday, and they should remember the ladies had stayed at the College an extra day in order to receive them. (Applause.) Miss Hovey had a great charge, there being no fewer than one hundred and fifteen girls under her care, and he trusted she might return next term much refreshed to take up her labours. (Hear, hear.) After a stroll through the grounds, the party took their leave, having experienced a most en- joyable afternoon.
