We understand that an amicable settlement has been come to as to the tenancy of St. Wiuefride's Well between the Urban District Council and the Rev. Father Beauclerfc, and all doubt as to the occupancy of the r-ow famous Well for the present year has beeb. settled. That this has oome not a moment too soon is shown by the large amount of correspondence which has taken place as to whether the Urban Council would take the Well out of the hands of the present tenant. As indicative of the tenour of the correspondence we-may quote from a letter from the secretary of St. Lawrance's Birkenhead Branch of the Catholic Total Abstinence League of the Cross, which states that they have a desire to organise a large pilgrimage to Holywell this summer, and tha. they will only do so providing the tenancy of the Well is in the hands of Father Beauclerk. Many other pilgrimages are contemplated, and in view of the expeoted large influx of visitors to Holywell next summer, it is satisfactory to know thafc the vexed question has now been set at rest. We learn that Mr J. B. Swynerton has secured at Rome a most beautiful block of marble for the new statue of St. Winefride to be placed on the pedestal outside the New Hall, and it is now in the hands of the sculptor, MONTHLY SESSIONS: TUESDAY.—Before Mr R.

He asked that in order to simplify other proceedings that evidenoe of the appointment of Mr Judd as Inspector of Nuisances should be taken. The proof of the existence of nuisances was given by Mr Judd, who stated that at the beginning of Deo. there was an accumulation of filth, which had now been rem-,)Yc ].-Several of the defendants said they had done what they could, others said there were structural defeotst-The defendants were muloted ia the costs, 3s. 4d. each. DIVBBSION OF EOAD AT MOSTYN. Mr P.

DOG CASE. Peter Burns, junior, Holywell, was summoned by Mr Daniel Chisholm, Inland Revenue Offioer, for keeping a dog without a license on the llth December. -Defendant pleaded not guilty.—The prosecutor stated that the defendant bad a dog which was fully twelve months old.

V. Lean, Mertyn. He went in the direction of the sound and saw defendant burying something in the bottom of the hedge bank of a field. He went up to the spot and picked up two partridges, one was dead and the other not quite dead. The birds had just been shot and were warm. He aooused defendant of trespass he said nothing in reply, but went straight to the house. He had seen defendant cross over the etyle on to his own land.—Defendant denied having gone off his land, and called Wm. Edw, Williams, of Mertyn Abbott. The case was dismissed, the majority of the Bench not considering the evidenoe sufficient to convict. GROSS CASK OF NEGLECT OF 0HILDBEN. Wm. Jackson, of Yiatoria Cottages, Bagillt-road, was summoned at the instance of Inspector John Rowlands, Denbigh, of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, for wilfully neglecting four children, viz.: Edith Davies, Lionel Jackson, Mary Ann Jackson and Margt. Jackson, in a manner likely to cause such children injury to their health,-Mr R. Bromley appeared for the prosecution, and said it was a most disgraceful case of negleot, and one that it was hardly possible to believe could exist in Holywell. The proseou. tion sought to convict the defendant and to obtain an order for the removal of the oustody of the children to the Guardians of the Holywell Union. -Inspeotor John Rowlands said on the 30th Dec., he visited the house of the defendant, who resides at Victoria Cottages, Bagillt-road. The house con- sisted of two rooms, the kitchen was in a deplorable condition. In the bedroom there was only one iron bedstead, with a foul and filthy mattrass and ohaff bed. There was no bed covering. One little child was in bed, although it was mid-day. The stench of the child and the room was sickening. The other children were filthy, creeping with vermin. Tho girls had no underclothing; they had only frooks on. One of the children was an illegitimate girl of about 16 years of age. The children had left the Workhouse some seven or eight weeks pre- viously, the father having been in prison at the time the children were in the Workhouse. There was not a scrap of food in the house. He went to a grooer's shop and bought 3s. 4d. worth of bread and butter, tea, and sugar, for them. He afterwards saw the defendant and spoke to him. He told him it was a shame for him to spend his money in drink. Defendant promised faithfully to amend. He left the defendant and called Dr Jones, and he was present when Dr Jones went to the house and examined the children. On January 6th he again visited the house with Sergt. R. Davies. He saw no sign of amendment in the condition of the children or of the house. The children looked half starved. Ou the second occasion there was half a loaf and about quarter of a pound of butter on the table. The defendant earned 2s. 8d. per day as a labourer in a timber yard.-Sergt. R. Davies said he accora- paniod Inspector Rowlands to defendant's house. He corroborated the Inspeotor's statement. Previous to the defendant going to the Victoria, be lived in Brvnford Bank, and opposite his own residenco. He had seen the children in the bedroom window from eight in the morning to late at night. When he visited the house with Inspector Rowlands th-j smell was so bad he could scarcely stand it. The defendant was not an habitual drunkard, but he had seen him iu drink. On the last occasion he saw def ndant in drink he said" You must excuse me. I have been to prison for debt. "-Police -constable Wm. Thomas said he had several times seen the defendant in drink. The last time he saw him so, he was coming out of a baker's shop in Whitford- street carrying a loaf.—Dr J. O. Jones said on the 30th December last he went to defendant's house at the request of Inspector Rowlands. He found the house in a filthy state, and the four children dirty and covered with vermin. They were insufficiently clad, and though fairly nourished the children had a look of starvation about them. The premises they occupied were nnfit for habitation, and were injurious to health. The Bench intimated that further ovU\r.c° va5) unnc-ss <rj—The defendant, who pleaded not guilty, said he gave the children as much food as they could eat, and they had always had it, but as it happened to be a Monday when the Inspector called, they had run a bit short of bread. The children had bad their breakfast and should have had their dinner when he came down with it from the town. He did not require a loaf from the Inspector. He could get food from the grocer's shops whenever he required, and pay for it on the following Saturday. He oould not look after the children very well. They had no mother and he had to go out to work in the morning and stop out all day.—Mr Bromley said he would ask the Bench to make an order for the custody of the children by the Guardians of the Union, and the defendant would have to contribute towards their maintenance. -The Bench after a retirement for some time ^for ^8^era^on °f the case, returned to Court, and the CnaiwmaQ aaid it was a most disgraceful state of things, a,.d the defendant would have to go to gaol for three k-ouths with hard labour, the children to go the Workho.,Ie. TRA DBINX. Moses Roberta, Vas sumi^ned by Police-constable Wm. Williams, for being dru.k and disorderly on Station-road, Greenfield, on Saturday night last the 1st inst.-Fined 10s. and 8s. oosta. A FAMILY RUPTTJBE. Ann Jones, of Ffyddion Farm, Whitford, was summoned by her brother John Jones, also of Ffyddion Farm, to provide sureties to keep the peace.—Mr Bromley appeared for the complainant. Evidence having been given of the conduct of the defendant towards her brother, she was ordered to provide sureties, herself in ZCIO and two sureties of L5 eaoh, to keep the peace for six months, or one month's imprisonment in default. THE MOSTYN JEW "JBWBD." A young man of the Jewish persuasion, named Cohen, of Halendy, Mostyn, asked for a warrant against a man to whom he had given a stock of goods for sale, and who had never returned the goods or value. He stated that a man came to his store and asked applicant to let him have some goods. He took pity on the man as he spoke so nicely and honestly, and was reoommended by a friend. He let him have X4 14s. worth of drapery goods, and gave him a distriot to work. The man signed an agreement and went out with the goods but had never returned. He had no sign of him and did not know where he lived.—The Bench de- olined to grant a warrant, telling the applicant that his remedy lay in the County Court. PARISH COUNCIL MEETING. The monthly meeting of the Holywell Parish Council was held at the Board Schools, Bagillt, on Tuesday evening last, when there were present- Messrs. Robert Foulkes (ohairman), Wm. Hollis, Edwin Roberts, Edward Hughes, William Jones', Joseph Williams, Peter Williams, William Davies, and Samuel Lloyd olerk-Mr. John Marnden. THE AUDIT. The Clerk reported that the accounts of the Parish Council for the past year had been duly audited and the books as signed by the District Auditor were produced.—The Chairman stated that out of the call of E40, the establishment expenses amounted to X16 6s. 5d., and the cost of ^meetings, polls and election for the parish, f,19 6s. Od., leaving a balance in hand of £4 7.. 7d. The result of the parish council audit was very satisfactory, and he hoped that their finanoial position would continue to be so satisfactory. THE LOCAL PILLAB LETTER BOXES. The Clerk reported that in the matter of the suggested letter boxes, Miss Jones, the postmistress of Holywell, had attended to the suggestions, and Mr. H. W. Jones had made the investigations. It appeared that at Bagillt, the postal facilities were. sufficient for the requirements. It was suggested that a letter box at Pentre Isa, near the Railway Station would be a public convenience, and Miss Jones would take the necessary steps to obtain a letter box in that looality. At Holway a central place had been selected where a letter box could be erected, and it would be put up immediately. It was also proposed to have a letter box at New Quay, Greenfield.-The Chairman said it was » 8-0.:1, ing to the Council that their suggestions had been attended to with such promtitude, and their thanks /^o.ubtedly due to Miss Jones for her kind attention to tut _Mr Edward Hughes said he was also pleased to say that cinoe the'' last meeting a postal delivery had been granted to the district of Pwllolai, Brynford.—The thanks of the Council were proposed and passed to Miss Jones, postmistress, for the promptitude with which she had dealt wiih the matter.—Mr. William Davies suggested that application be made for additional facilities on the Bagillt-road, at Greenfield. VOELGBON AND KBBLLYN BO AD J. Mr. Edwin Roberta brought forward the question of the Voelgron and Merllyn roads and footpaths which he said were in a wretched state. It was deoided to refer the matter to the members of the East Ward with power to act as regards the footpaths. A IDAYGIMOUN TOURRM. Mr. Edwin Roberts drew the attention of the Council to the unprotected state of the stream by Oak Cottages which at times was a strong torrent. Several narrow escapes of children had oocurred recently, and it was time some protection should be put up.—It was deoided to refer the matter to the Rural Distriot Counoil. WILD PAD; 3PUM. It was decided to recommend to the Rural District Council, that a pump be erected at Park Gwyllt. The condition of the place at present was bad, and an existing nuisanoe. THE BAGILLT LIGHTING. Mr. Samuel Lloyd asked had any communication been received by the Clerk from the Local Govern- ment Board, in reference to the lighting powers of Bagillt.-The Clerk replied that no reply hid as yet been received.—Mr. Lloyd considered that some- thing should be done. The Council did not assert their power sufficiently. -The Ohairman said he did not think there was necessity for any pressure, he believed that the Lighting Authority would band over their powers at the close of the current year.- Mr. Lloyd: That is not the thing, the Parish Meet- ing dissolved the Lighting Inspectors, and there are no inspectors at present in Bagillt.-The Chairman I beg your pardon, here's one myself, and very much in the flesh too (laughter).—The Clerk was requested to apply to the Local Government Board for a reply. ALLEGED INTBBPBBBNOB WITH PUBLIC BIGHTS. Mr. Hollis brought before the Council a com- plaint that workmen living at Boot and working on the railway were stopped from using the footpath by Liverpool House. The footpath was a great saving of distanoe to workmen going to and from their meals.—The oomplaint was referred to the Rural District Council, in compliance with the re- quest of Mr. Harding Roberts, the Clerk to the Rural Council. THE GBEENFIELD LIGHTING. Ur. William Davies proposed That the Clerk to the Parish Council write to the Clerk of the Green- field Lighting Inspectors, requesting him to call a meeting of the Inspectors to decide, do they, or do they not intend to transfer the powers as a lighting authority to the Parish Council." He believed that such matters should be handed over to the authorities appointed by the recent Local Govern- ment Act, and which were authorities more distinctly and directly representative of ratepayers than those appointed at what he considered nothing but a hole and corner meeting.—Mr. William Jones seconded the proposition.

NEURALGIC PAINS. ROAT), I'KNY-GKAIG, Dec. 26th, /Syo. Die AH SIK,-I fed very thankful that such a precious remedy as your Quinine Bitters has been discovered. Three years ago my little boy, who is now almost nine years of age, suffered greatly with his teeth, and often cried and screamed suddenly by night and day from the acute pain he suffered in the nerves. We tried various prescriptions, but all in vain, and even the doctor could give him no lasting relief. At last, one of our neighbours told us that the cause of his suffer- ing so acutely was Weakness, and advised us to try Gwilym Evans' Bitters to strengthen him. We did so, and before he had com- pleted the second bottle a great change for the better was evident, and by continuing its use he rapidly improved, and soon got rid of the excruciating pain which caused him such great suffering. I heartily recommend parents to try it in cases of ailments of their children, especially in cases of Weakness. Yours sincerely, WM. D. LEWIS,

WTUIC AT BBTTISFIRLD. -Considerable uneasiness existsamong the colliers and workmen at Bettisfield colliey, in consequenoe of an offor laid before the men ly the manager (Mr C. J. Oroudace), that they shouli aocept a reduction of 121 per cent. or an alterative of the stoppage of the men employed in the fi'e-feet seam and the No. 6 district, which will throw out of work from 160 to 200 men. The reason assigied for the proposed reduction has been laid befori the men, and a vote upon the offer was taken on Saurday last, when the men were unanimously agaiut the reduction. No notice has as yet been given the proposal having been submitted to the men hformally, that they may be prepared for the ineviable, and have time to consider what steps they shoufi take. It is stated that some of the men are williig to accept a reduction in order that their fellof-workmen might oontinue in employment COAj STEALERS CAUGHT RED-HANDED. A FINAL WARNING. Ai a Special Sessions, held at Holywell on Friday befoie Messrs Wm Jones, Joseph Garner and Isaac Hugies, Thomas Griffiths, of Littler's row, was brought up charged with feloniously stealing 90 lbs. of coal valued at 6d., the property of the Bettisfield Colliery Co. Police constable Eley, said, in pur- tuaaoe of instructions he had received, on Thursday evening he went near to Bettisfield Colliery and stood on land belonging to Mr S Davies. At about ten minutes past six he saw two men pass in the direction of the oolliery. He remained in the same place for about twenty minutes when he saw the two men returning from the direction he bad seen them take. He went to meet the men and coming upon them, the first man (who was not then in oustody), upon seeing witness burled a bag of coal off his back nearly hitting the officer on the bead, and ran off. The prisoner was the second man, and witness got hold of him. He had a bag of coal (produced) on his shoulder. Prisoner gave his name and address, and said Let me go this time. I have never been before." Witness said "I cannot do that, there are too many complaints about coal stealing." He took prisoner to the colliery premises and saw Mr J. Halliday Johnson, the Manager. He afterwards took prisoner up to the Holywell Police Station. On the road prisoner said he was "hard up," but admitted that at present he was working on the railway. -Walter Horrobin, surface foreman at Bettisfield Colliery, said that morning poijoe-constable Eley brought two bags of ooal to the stores of the colliery for the purpose of being weighed. Altogether there was 175 lbs. in the two bags, the weight of the one produced weighed 90 lbs. and was valued at 6d.—Mr Johnson, the Manager at Bettisfield, said coal stealing had been going on at Bettisfield to such an alarming extent even though several oases had been brought before the Bench, that the Company felt compelled to press the case in order to put a stop to the depredations. —Prisoner pleaded guilty.—The Chairman said ooal stealing at Bagillt had been going on for some time and there seemed to be an impression among people that they could take ae much coal as they liked, and to expect only slight punishment. It should be clearly understood that to steal coal, equally as much as any other thing, was against the law, and who- ever K*-oH»ht before the Conrt again on a oharge would be paniBneu very ^ovBreiy.— Prisoner was 8(,>:r,1 one nionth's imprisonment with bard lvur, lD default 01 paying a am. vI .06.

Pryce Davies, M.A. (Chester), and Messrs H. H. Hughes, J.P. (Oaergwrle), Hugh Davies (Hawarden), 0. Tudor Hnghes and Robert Savage (Wrexham), James Prince (Connah's Quay), O. W. Jones (Flint), and Thomas Williams (Buckley) After the ordinary business had been disposed of the Secretary read the following letter which he had received from Mr J. Herbert Lewis, M.P. Penucha, Caerwys, January 17, 1896. Dear Mr Evans, I am very wishful to establish some permanent memorial to the memory of my late wife and that the same should, if possible, be permanently connected with the work of the Presbytery in one of whose Churches she was a faithful member for the greater pait of her life. It has occurred to me that a suitable, if not the best, method of carrying this intention into effect would be the adoption of some scheme for encouraging the young people of our church in the gtudy of the Bible and other related subjects. If, therefore, the Presbytery will allow me to do so I propose to place in the hands of Trustees a sum of money for the purpose of establishing an endowment, sufficient to provide annually two silver medals and one bronze medal to be awarded every year to those who take the highest places in the annual examinations in religious knowledge conducted by the Presbytery, with the addition of such subject or sub- jects as may from time to time be prescribed. I have asked my friend, Mr Alfred T. Davies, who is fully conversant with my wishes and intentions, to attend the next meeting of the Presbytery to explain the details of the scheme ana of the proposed trust. In requesting the Presbytery to accept and to assist in giving immediate effect to this gift I would express the hope that it may tend to dignify and to perpetuate the systematic method of scriptural instruction which has hitherto been carried out by the Presbytery with such excellent result. and that it will stimulate the young to a deeper interest in the study of holy Scripture,— Beliive me, yours very faithfully, J. HIBBEET LEWIS, W. R. EVAHS, ESQ., J.P. Mr Alfred T Davies, of Liverpool, at the invita- tion of the Moderator then explained the details of the memorial soheme. According to the latter it was proposed to award the medals as follows :—(a) A silver medal, to the candidate who obtained the highest number of marks in Division I, (open to those over 21 years of age), (b) a silver medal to the like candidate in Division II, (open to those over 16 and under 21), (0) a bronze medal to the like oandidate in Division III, (open to those over 12 and under 16). He felt sure that anyone who knew the late Mrs Herbert Lewis would agree that her memory would be more fitly and usefully perpetuated in providing incentives to the young people of the church to which she belonged to become diligent seekers after truth" than if it was enshrined in monumental marble. He had very strong hopes that the scheme would be found to work well and would prove a helpful adjunct to the excellent ex- aminations of the church, and if it did so it would certainly realize the hopes and wishes of the one who asked to be allowed to found it (applause). The Rev Edward Jerman of Breeze bill, then proposed the following resolution :—" That this Presbytery, having heard the kind proposal of J. Herbert Lewis, Esq, MP, to offer annually in commemoration of his wife Mrs Adelaide Lewis two silver medals and a bronze medal for the en- couragement of the study of Scripture, gratefully aocepts the offer and desires to thank Mr Lewis very warmly." The resolution also appoints the trustees and committee to administer toe trust. —Mr J Elias Jones Beconded the resolution which was carried.—A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Alfred T Davies for the assistance he bad rendered in framing the scheme and preparing the trast deed for the establishment of the eudowmen t -By Mr Lewis' express wish the medals are to be offered for competition at the ensuing examina- tion to be held on the 15th April next.
