Arthur-Prichard and Mr. Hugh Owen, Llewelyn Jones, Old- road, was brought up on a warrant charged with being drunk and disorderly, and also with as- saulting John Henry Roberts, 15, Wind-street, on the ist of July. The charge of being drunk and disorderly was proved, and the complainant in the assault case said that on the night in question he saw the defendant near witness's stable. Jones commenced to quarrel, and Ro- berts told him to leave, as he wished to have nothing to do with him. Immediately Jones knocked the complainant down and afterwards kicked him, necessitating his being carried home in agony, and being attended by Dr. Morgan. The medical gentleman described the injuries, and said that Roberts had to keep to the house for a fortnight. In eply to the magistrates, Roberts stated that he was unable to work for a month. Deputy Chief Constable Rees proved several previous convictions. He stated that the police got to know that the defendant was in town on Saturday night, and Sergeant Evans and P.C. Owen went up to his house in Old-road. As soon as they knocked the door the light went out. They knocked several times, but failed to get any reply, and they eventually had to burst open the door to arrest Jones. The defendant had had a lucky escape, for Roberts' injuries might have proved fatal. The magistrates fined the defendant 10s. and costs for being drunk and disorderly, and 'sent him to prison for two months, with hard labour, for the assault. DEMANDED TO BE LOCKED UP.—At a special Court, on Monday morning, John Wil- liams, of Denbigh, who had in his possession a discharge certificate from the Cheshire Regi- ment, was summoned for being drunk in Ban- gor-road on Saturday night. The Deputy Chief Constable said that the man arrived in the town on Saturday, and came to the police station in a drunken condition about II p.m., requesting a ticket for the workhouse. He was refused, and he then demanded to be locked up, as he was penniless. He was [fined 10s. and costs, or in default 14 days' hard labour. AN ARTIST'S CLAIM.—On Thursday, at the Liandudno County Court, before Judge Moss, William F. Turner, artist, Morfa-drive, Conway, sued H. Blairman, art dealer, Llandudno, for ^30 for alleged wrongful dismissal. Mr. Hall- mark appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. James Marks for the defendant. Mr. Hallmark said the plaintiff was an artist and expert in paint- ing, and the defendant was a dealer in paint- ings and antiques. Arrangements were made whereby the plaintiff was to manage defendant's shop on the Pier, and the plaintiff contended that his engagement was for the season, and not from week to week. He was receiving 25s. a week and commission. The plaintiff, after be- ing with the defendant for three weeks, was dis- pensed with, owing to the business not being to the defendant's satisfaction. The plaintiff stated that about Zioo worth of goods were sold while he was there. After hearing the plaintiff, the Judge said the case was a very weak one, t and he would suggest the parties putting their heads together and come to a settlement. Some damage must have been suffered by the plaintiff, but it was difficult to say the amount. After consultation the parties agreed that the plain- tiff receive L5 in addition to the ^1 15s. paid into Court.

Witness dragged him along as far as the Vicarage, and the female defendant then came up and got on top of the male defendant, and took a scarf from around his neck, and then said, There you are, fight like a man. Don't let them take you. I will stick to you like a Briton. She stuck, and was caught hold of by two civilians. In the meantime P.C.

Clarke Jones prosecuted on behalf of the County Council. Evidence was given by the assistant Inspector, Mr. Douglas Wynne Griffith, that he visited de- fendant's yard on the 21st September, and examined a coal machine which he found badly out of balance against the purchaser to the extent of 81bs in 281bs. He ascertained the nature of the error. In reply to defendant, the witness said he had been in the village once previously inspecting, and he called at defend- ant's house on the date referred to, but there was no one in. Mr. Clarke Jones explained that the cause of the error was the falling off of a plate from underneath the balance. It was tested two years ago, and it was then incorrect, but defendant had it repaired and put right. Mr. Richard Owen, wheelwright, Glanmor, Glan Conway, said he saw the inspector testing the scale by placing 20 lbs on the coal side, against 28lbs on the balance. The defendant pleaded guilty to a technical offence, and said he had tested the machine a week previous to the inspector's visit, and found it correct. The plate at the bottom of the balance must have come off during the week. Mr. Clarke Jones said as the machine was now put in order he did not wish to press the case. A fine of 10s. and costs was imposed.
