A somewbat auausil2 g incident came before the Registrar in which Mr W. J. Wilkinson, a grocer of Northop Hall, sought to recover the sum of 15a. being the balance of an account for groceries from a man named John Jones, of Ptntre.—Mr Hugh Roberta, Mold, appeared for the plaintiff-Defendant denied all knowledge of the debt saying he would sooner pay a sovereign for his rights than a farthing for what ha did not know of, and alleged there must be some mistake in the name. The identity of John Jones' was established by means of a nick- name which was mentioned, and upon the Registrar asking why they called him by that name, the defendant replied It's their ignorance they know I'm John Joue!3 (laughter). Defendant further said whatever he got from the defendant be paid for, and he fetched the goods himself. His wife was not capable of going to a shop, she had no memory at all (laughter).-Tbe Registrar: But the day book and the ledger shew clearly that the balance was 18s. 6 3. and it has been brought down by paymente to 14s 6d.-Defendant: Who ha paid it then P I am innocent of paying it. I know nothing about it. The Registrar: Who obtained the goods f-Plallltdf His wife and daughter.—Defendant: I am as innocent of it as the man in the moon' (laughter).

I shall allow defendant 4s for his day. —Defendant: Will he pay me now or knock it off the account ?-The Registrar It will be knocked ofi.Defendant: Thank you. A QUESTION OF TRESPASS. This was an aotion brought by Mrs A. Roberts, Holly Bush Farm, Connah's Quay, to reoover L5 damages for trespass, from Mr W. H. Lloyd, Top- y-fron. Mr Sharpe (Messrs Sharpe and Davidson, Chester), appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr T. W. Hughes (Messrs Hughes and Hughes, Flint) defended. L2 had been paid into Court with a denial of liability.—Edward Roberts, boot and shoe maker, Connah's Quay, son of the plaintiff, said his father died in December, 1888. He was at that time tenant of the HoHy Bush Farm. He was not then tenant of the field in question. Mr Mansbridge, the agent of the property, came in June 1889, to the hay field where witness was working and said they could have the fiald of 3! acras for £7 a year, with a yearly tenancy. He acted as his mother's agent, and paid the rent of the farm to the agent half- yearly. In the spring of 1896 he received a notioe from Mr Mansbridge, to leave the whole of the farm on the 29th of September. About the 3rd of October, the defendant took possession and made a cartway at the bottom and removed part of the fenoe The defendant carted sand and other things across the field, and the ground was spoiled for agricultural purposes. The road would have to be soiled, the ruts would have to bj filled up and sown. He might get a little crop of it this year. The damage to the fence he valued at 26". To reiustate the part of the field used as a road would cost about X3. He signed no agreement excluding the Agricultural Holding's Act.-By Mr Hughes: He had let the after-grass of the field from Septjmber to Novembdr. He got 30s. for the grass of the whole field. He let it to Mr James Lamb. He made no allowance to Mr Lamb for the damage dono to the field by Mr Lloyd. Lamb did not complain or ask for any compensation for the loss of the grass taken up by the road. He considered it was over fifty yards and about twelve feet wide. The roadway was along. the fence at the end of the field aud then across a piece for about eight or ten yards. The fence was put up by Mr Clough to prevent the cattle getting on to his mother's land About ten or twelve yards of the wire fencing and some of the posts had been taken down. The fence could be put back by a CI good" man in two days and for a good job he would get 10s. a day (laughter). He did not complain to Mr Voyd while the damage was being committed he complained to his agant. He told Mr Lloyd he was not going to deliver up possession, beoause it was sent to him and also thac he wanted twelve months' Dotice.-The Defendant stated that he had taken a lease from Mr G. F. Clough of land, part of which was the field in question. The lease dated back 1st May, 1896, and be understood that the whole of the land would come into his possession. Sand was carted along the field to the brickworks. He could not say why the men did not take the road way at the bottom of the field. He believed they turned off into the field owing to the bad state of the road at the end of the field they passed on to the road again. He considered that 16s. would cover the amount of damage to the land and the fence.—By Mr Sharp: The carting continued some weekp, but he was not sure as the work was in the hands of his contractor. -Thos. John Reney, budier and contractor, Connah's Quay, said he was erecting the brick workg for Mr Lloyd. The carters took the liberty of passing through the field without his knowledge owing to the bad state of the road. When be be- came aware of the road through the field he had the proper road repaired. The cart track across the field was about 40 yards long by 13 ft. broad, making about 160 square yard-, The fence could be replaced in a day at 3s 6d a day. There was grass on the read at present, the only damage was the cart wheel, perhaps three inches below the surface. The damage on the land taken up by the carts would be put right by a man in a day and would soon be all right. He should say 10.! would cover the cost of reinstating the field and repairing the fence.—Wm. E. Eilwood, farmer, gave evidence as to the damage. A man would put the field right for 28 6d.-John Haysett, farmer, Connah's Quay, said the damage was very slight. He thought 10s to carry soil and fill in the ruts would be sufficient. The crop would be all right this season. -Mr Hughes pointed out there were no aggravated oircumstaices. The plaintiff in the claim had re- ferred to brick works on the land, which was not no. fZ had been paid into, Court in expectation that plaintiff would have accepted it and averted the aotion. Any damage that had been done would not amount to that sum,-His Honour; I am clearly of opinion that the amount paid into Court is suffioient—amply sufficient. What is the legal effect of it ? If no denial of liability had been made, it should be a verdict for defendant.—Mr Hughes I had no other course open but to deny liability. —His Honour Under the ciroumstances I don't like to give costs against the defendant.—Judge- ment for £ 2 without costs. ALLEGED A8SAULT ON A PONT AT HALKYN. John Jones, of the Windmill, Halkyn, was sued by Thos. H. Biackwell, grocer, Flint, to recover iCl. damages sustained by plaintiff through injuries done to his horsè by the defondaut. Mr T. W. Hughes (Messrs Hu-hes aod^ Hughes), appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr J. ilarston, defended. —Edw. Jones, a youth employed by the plalntdr to sell paraffin, said be w_s at Hil "yn on the 8th of Daoecnbsr, and when going through the Wind- mill the defendant came to him and said he should not go that way. Defendant struck the pony across the nostrils and mouth with a wooden frame used to rest the seive on a churn, and then backed the pony ba-Jk oh to the common, threatening the witness that hs would smash his brains' if he did not go back. Witness went arother way. He had been that way before and had customers in the direction he wai going. After the defendant etruok the pony it bled from the mouth. Ho took the pony home and found that its mouth had swolleD. The next day the pony could not eat. The following day he to )k the pony to Bagillt.— By Mr Marston He was not going that way to anooy the defendant. He had neyer touched the defendant's wall, be went over the stones on one side. Defendant wanted him to go along the road that the Duke of Westminster had purposely made. The defendant struck the pony and loosened a tooth Mrs Cheaters saw the tooth. He was positive that tho defendant struck the pon, The plaintiff (T. H. Blickwell) said the boy told him that the pony had been struck across the nostrils and mouth by the defendant. The animal was too sore to eat. The pony could not be taken out the following day and he calculated that he lost 8a a day.-Mrs Chesters, of the Windmill, HalkyD, said she noticed the pony's nose bleeding.-For the defence, a direct denial was given of the assault on the pony. The defendant, when the boy through sheer wilfulness persisted in taking the paraffin cart aiung a narrow path, baoked the pony. He dil not strike the pony as alleged. The b:)y had been previously along the lane and had thrown down hia garden wall. Defendant re-iterated th.it he had nothing iu his hand and did not strike the pony. He backed the pony that the boy should go by the proper road, and not along the narrow lane. The boy had no customers in the houses near to. He received a letter from the plaintiff but did not answer it. He put the matter in the hands of his solicitors.—Mrs Salisbury, Holywell, late of Halkyn, said she was a few yards off when the defendant stopped the boy going along the lane. The defendant bad nothing in his hand and did not strike the pony he only backed the animal.—R. Ll)yd Davies, Pentre Halkyn, said the people liring in the lane were his customers. He owned the house occupied by the defendant, and he had allowed him 10s. for re-building the wall.—His Honour not considering the case made out gave judgment for'the defendant without ooats. A. THBBSHINO ACCOUNT THRASHED OUT. Edward Bellis, threshing machine proprietor, Flint Mountain, sued to recover J62 9s. 9d., from John Hallows, farmer, Pentremooh, for work done. Mr T. W. Hughes appeared for the plaintiff and Mr J. B. Marston defended.—The plaintiff said the defendant refused to pay the money which was for two days work. For the defence it was admitted that they owed Li 18s. 3d. Defendant said the plaintiff had refused the money when he put it on the table. The plaictifi only worked three quarters of a day and he was told by the plaintiff to pay the men three quarters of a day.—His Honour remark- ing that it seemed to have been an ingenious way of getting out of it, gave judgment for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.

Pan Jones, who wrote that he was almost laid up with a cold, and unable to speak. Mr W. J. P. Storey and Mr E. Bryan also forwarded apologies. FINANCE. The Chairman stated that the Finanoe Committee had gone over the accounts of the Council, and after paying all demands against the Council, there was a balance in hand of X25 Is. õd., which amount was about the sum estimated as the balance at the commencement of the year. GROESFFORDD ROAD. The Ohairman stated that the matter of the Groesffordd road had been submitted to the Rural District Council, who had agian given the same reply, that it was not a road repairable by the Council. THE HOLYWELL RACECOURSE. Mr D. MaoNicoll reported upon the inspection with the Committee at Whitford Vicarage, of the Enclosure Award, with the result that they found the award contained only a recital from the Enclosure Act of 1800. The small portion of the Race Course in Whitford Parish was num- bered on the plan attached to the award, but was not referred to other than aforesaid.—The Clerk read the following recital having refer- ence to the racecourse:—" And it was therefore further enacted that I the said Commissioner should in the next place allot and set out the race ground in the said parish of Whitford which was part of the race ground oalled Holywell oourse to be kept open for a race course in suoh manner and under such restrict- ions as a majority in number of the proprietors assembled at a meeting to be held for that purpose and the said Assistant Commissioner whose concurrence must be obtained should direot."—Mr Barratt: Who are the proprietors? —The Chairman That is the diffioolty. We must find out what is meant by "the pro- prietors."—The Clerk said he had written to Mr Lester Smith, Halkyn, (agent to the Duke of Westminster), asking whether he would fall in with the resolution of the Parish Council to the payment of a nominal acknowledgment for the fence across the raoeoourae or give instructions to have the same taken down. In reply Mr Lester Smith wrote to the effeot that the information only oonfirmed what he had expressed-the raceooursa ceased to be common land when allotted. He was still at a loss to know on what grounds the Parish Council could interfere. There was no available record that any suoh meeting was ever held for the Whitford parish portion.— Mr Barratt observed, that Mr Lester Smith wished the Counoil to accept that it had been allotted, but he submitted no proof of such allotment.—The Chairman suggested a committee to interview Mr Lester Smith on the matter.—This course was unanimously adopted, and the Ohairman, Mr D. MaoNicoll and the Clerk were appointed a deputation to meet Mr Lester Smith, THE ANNUAL PARISH MEETING. It was arranged that the annual parish meeting be held on Wednesday, the 31st inst., and the agenda to include the oharity aooounts, the hearse aooounto, and notices of motion as to the adoption as the Libraries Act, and also the commemoration of the Queen's diamond jubilee. DIVERSION OF FOOTPATHS AT DOWNING. The application of Mr J. B. Feilding, on behalf of the Earl of Denbigh, for the diversion of certain footpaths in the vicinity of Downing, with the plans, was submitted by the Rural District Council for the observations of the Parish Council thereon. The plans of the pro- posed diversion include two sections of old footpaths, one being the path from Mertyn Abbot, through the dingle or Downing Woods, down to Gwibnant. The path crossing and re-crossing the stream running through the dingle. The path, it was stated in the applica- tion, being impassible nine months in the year, and very preoipitious. The proposed new path runs from Mertyn Abbot through the fields skirting the Downing Woods, and orossing a field, opens on to the road about midway between the Town and the Upper Lodge. The other seotion being from the Whitford road past Upper Downing through the stable yard of Downing Hall, and thence aoross the park on to the road. The proposal being to atop up the path opening a path from above Upper Downing through the fields coming out on the road a little above the Upper Lodge, thus obviating the passing through the stable yard and across the park in front of Downing Hall. The length of pathway in the first seotion would be lessened by 70 yards, and in the second seotion by 274 yards. After examining the plans of the proposed diversions, Mr D. MaoNicoll proposed, and Mr John Edwaid6 seconded that the Council approve of the proposed diversion. —The Clerk was instructed to communicate the opinion of the Council to the District Council, who will oonsider the question and again refer it to the Parish Council for assent, and where the plan will remain for two months to afford an opportunity of anyone calling a parish meeting to object to the diversion. In the event of no objection the application will go before Quarter Sessions, and the usual legal formalities for the dedication of the new path, and the closing of the old paths carried out. RECIPROCAL COMPLIMENTS. The Chairman said this being the last meet- ing of the Council for the present year he wished to express his appreciation of the great kindness he had received during his year of office, as chairman. It had been a year marred by no irritation, but in every way a record of the most amiable relations between the whole Council. He hoped that spirit would always exist and that the duties of chairman would ever, be, as they had been to him, a most agreeable and pleasant task (hear, hear).—Mr Bakewell had I great pleasure in proposing a vote of thankl to the chairman for the able and courteous way he had presided over the business of the Council. The Counoil were under a great obligation to the chairman for the business like tact he had exeroised on all occasions.—Mr Thos Hilditoh seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously.—The Ohairman in reply .said the work had been very easily got through, and he might add that the work had been greatly simplified and facilitated with all promp ness by reason of the courteous assistance of their clerk, with whom the Council was fully satisfied (hear, hear).—Mr Barratt seconded the preposition, remarking that the Council appreciated the ready help afforded the Council by their clerk. —Mr T. E. Williams supported the proposition which was carried unanimously.—Mr Lloyd thanked the Council for their kind expression of satisfaction with the performance of the duties of his ofice and hoped that he should be able to oontinue to merit their good opinion in the future.
BRYNFORD.
BRYNFORD. PRESENTATION TO THE NEW RECTOR OF BRYNFORD. At the Queen's Hotel, Dolywern, on Monday, the Rev W. Jones, rector of Brynford, and late rector of Ponftfadog, was presented with a hand- some tea and ooffee cervioe, suitably inscribed, to- gether with a pnrse of gold, on the occasion of leaving after nearly nine years' faithful work in the parish, during which time he enjoy ed in a peculiar degree the affeotion and esteem of his many parish- ioners—Church people and Nonconformists alike. A large oompany first sat down to dinner in the club- room, over which Mr F. E. Rooper, Glyn, presided, He was supported by the Rev W. Jones, the guest of the evening, the Bev R. Jennings, Glyn, and a large number of other gentlemen. After dinner, the oompany was joined by a number of ladies. A letter was read by Mrs Williams, on behalf of the new Reotor, regretting his absence that evening through illness, after which the usual loyal toasts were duly honoured. The Ohairman was heartily received on rising to give the toast of the evening Our Quest.' He felt sorry to have to now speak of him as their late reotor. Speaking of the presentation he was about to make to Mr Jones, the Chairman said though it was not of very great monetary value, he felt sure Mr Jones would appreciate it because of the spirit which prompted the gift—(hear, bear),-and as he gased upon the service of plate in days to come, he hoped it would reoall to his mind the memory of those who gave it (applause). Mr Jones first came among them nearly nine years ago, and they all knew the very great progress which had since been made in the parish, mainly through his exertions and those of his wife (cheers). He bad not only attended to their spiritual wants, but he had con- tributed to their sooial happiness (hear, hear and applause). Without in any way neglecting their spiritual welfare, as he said before, Mr Jones took a very keen interest in the civil work ef the parish, and amongat his good works were the prusenoe of a Post Offioe in Pontfadog, the obtaining of a separate medical offloer for that district, and many other matters of minor importance (hear, hear). These improvements had oonferred a very great boon on the neighbourhood (hear, hear and applause). When the last Local Government Act came into force, Mr Jones was one of the first to be appointed to the offioe of Distriot Councillor he had remained one ever since, and he (Mr Rooper) was glad to know that though Mr Jones was severing his oonneotion with the parish, he would continue to act as their representative on the Board of Guardians and Distriot Council for another year at least (cheers). Mr Jones was, he believed, the first honorary member of their Queen's Club, and not only did he show a keen interest in its proceedings, but he alto induced others to become honorary members, includ- ing Mr and Mrs Myddelton-Biddulph (loud applause) The regard and affection in which Mr Jones was held was to be found in the fact that the presentation was not confined to his own oongregation, a large number of Nonconformists having subscribed to the fund (hear, hear). They would sadly miss both Mr and Mrs Jones. Changes, however, must happen in this life, and so they envied the parish to which they were going. They, nevertheless, heartily wished thepn God-speed, and in their behalf he assured them that though they would be out of sight they would not be out of mind. So that whenever they deoided on paying the valley a visit they could feel assured that they would always receive at their hands a most hearty and cordial reception (applause). Mr Jones was now going away after nearly nine years work as their rector, and behind him he would leave many friends, and not a single enemy (oheers). It only remained for him now to formally ask Mr Jones' acceptance of the service of plate and purse of gold (loud and oontinued applause) The Rev R. Jennings, who preached in Pontfadog Church the previous night, said he could bear testimony to the fact that the ohuroh was orowded, and it would certainly be gratifying to Mr Jones's successor to And that very good work must have been done before he came to take charge of the parish (hear, hear). He asked those present to be ready to support the new reotor when he entered upon his duties. It did not really matter who was their rector; the Churoh was always the same from one generation to another, and their duty as Christians still remained for that reason be asked them to hold out a hand of weloome to their new rector (applause). Messrs T. Williams, R. Morris, and E. Roberts, Pontfadog, also spoke. The Rev W. Jones was enthusiastically oheered on rising to reply. He said he felt himself in Buoh an awkward position that he hardly knew what to say. One thing he did know, that he was in the presence of many old and faithful friends (applause). He thanked the Ohairman for the kind words which he had uttered in referenoe to himself and his wife, who, he could assure them, was present with them in the spirit though not in the flesh (applause). The praotioal manifestations of their kindness which they had experienced of late, would never fade from their memory, and the presentation would always serve to remind them of their friends in Glyn Oeiriog. The Chairman had referred to the work he had endeavoured to do. He could only say that while it had been imperfeotly done-(cries of "No")—it had been done to the beat of his ability (applause). He reminded them of the Churoh's condition when he came there nearly nine years ago from the neighbouring parish of Selattyn, and of the many willing hands he met soon after he began his work. He did not take the credit for all the good work that had since been done to himself, as most of them had had a hand in it. Mr Jones next eulogised the work of Mr Davies, the schoolmaster, and went on to say that no pariah could be blessed with better ohurohwardens than they had had for the last year or two (applause). Having expressed his regret at the absence, and the cause of it, of the new reotor, Mr Jones said he felt certain that when he did come he would immediately find that his lot had been oast among friends, who would be only too willing to assist him in oarrying on the work of the pariah (hear, hear). The rev. gentleman afterwards referred to his actions as a member of the Board of Guardians and Rural Distriot Counoil, and oonoluded by saying he could not forget all the kindness he had received from Mr Jennings and the Ohairman (applause). Mr JenningA had given him much assistance when in trouble and distress, and he .1y hoped he would find the neighbouring olergy iu the rural deanery of Holywell as kind as he had found them, from the rural dean down, in the deansry of Llangollen (loud applause).—Other toasts followed.

I ALREADY FEEL 20 PER CENT. BETTER. 13, HANOVER SQUARE, BRADFORD, Jan. Jth, 1892. CENTLKMEN,—I am thankful for the bottle of,, Gwiiym Evans' Bitters "you sent me by your Bradford representative. I have only taken a few good strong doses, and I already feel 20 per cent. better, but having suf- fered from Ague for some months in India I do not expect it to work wonders at once. To-day, while dining in the town, two of my friends remarked that I was looking much better. I told them that the cause of it was my taking your Quinine Bitters," when a gentleman sitting opposite asked me the name of it. I was very pleased to tell him, and also where be could get it in Bradford. He has been suffering from Indigestion, and I hope Gwilym Evans' Bitters will do him as much good as it has done to me. With every wish for their success, I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, J. C K. THOMA*

Several times both teams were within an aoe of goal getting. Oswestry scored twice, whilst Wrexham secured a somewhat doubtful one. Final result:— Wrexham, 3 goals; Oswestry, 2 goals.— The Oswestry Club have lodged a protest against 11% Wrexham on a number of grounds, one, alleging that Jardine, Wrexham's goalkeeper, was not eligible to play, and another that the last goal scored by Wrexham was handled before passing through.

A FIRST-CLASS COMBINATION.
A FIRST-CLASS COMBINATION. Industry and intelligence make a first-class com- bination. But it is rare. A lazy fellow who is inventive and intelligent often accomplishes more than an industrious fool. 10 the infancy of the steam engine a boy was set to let the steam into the ends of the cylinder alternately, by hand. He found it a boresome task, and so indented a way to make the engine wait on itself. His method has been in use ever since-the principle of the escentric motion. "What do you mix your paints with to produce thoee wonderful colours p" asked somebody of Sir Joshua Reynolds. With brains," curtly answered the great artist. This is a big idea, and it has to do with every- thing under the sun. Here, for instance, is the oaae of a man who spent a whole summer in bed when he might just as well have been on his feet, looking after his business and having odds and ends of pleasure on evenings and holidays. Along in the spring of 1889 he took a chill exaotly the time of the year to take chills if you don't watch out, and often if you do. Well, immediately afterwards a dreadful pain struck into both his hips and legs. The result of this was that he had to go to bed, and he stayed there sixteen weeks. Just think of that Fancy it a problem in arithmetic— a child's simple sum to be worked out on a alate. Add the pain, the trouble and worry to his family, the direct extra expenses, the loss of time and income, the loss of the summer's enjoyments, the doctor's bills, &o., kc. -and see what it tots up at. The first dootor who attended him said he had sciatica, and had it very bad. The doctor was either right or wrong. If be was right the result showed that be didn't know how to oure soiatioa. If he was wrong it showed that he couldn't diagnose a disease from its symptoms. Put it how you will, might have been an industrious, bard-working man but laoked something of being a proper doctor. Well, he gave up the case, and Mr Dawson (our suffering friend's name) sent for another. This one blistered him and painted him with iodine from his waist to his feet. By this time Mr Dawson was unable to get out of bed or to dress himself without assistance. The doctors' medicines and applications failing to help him, be went to the hospital at Buxton, where he was advised to try the baths. After 6eing there three weeks he returned home but little better for the treatment. The conclusion of this exasperating experience is set forth in a few words by Mr Dawson himself in the letter from which the above mentioned faots are taken. I had," he says, 11 little or no use of my legs, and it was wholly out of my power to attend to my business. I lost a deal of sleep in consequence of the pain, and owing to a want of appetite and necessary nourishment I grew very weak. Even after leaving my bed if I went out for a breath of fresh air I had to stop and rest every few yards. I was so broken and helpless that my wife and others who saw me thought I never should get about again. In this condition I remained until January, 1891, when I read of cases like mine having been oured by Seigel's Syrup. Persuaded by the clearness and evident sincerity of the reasoning, I began taking the syrup, and soon found relief. My legs had more power, and the pain gradually subsided, until it ceased altogether, and I could go about as I did before I was taken ill. If I had only known of this remedy and used it sooner I should have been saved suffering and heavy doctor's bills. You can publish this statement if you think it will be of use to others. Yours truly (signed), Harrison Dawson, Heap Bridge, Bury, April 27th, 1893. Our friend's inference is perfectly logical as to the advantage he would have derived from an earlier knowledge of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup as his ailment—acute rheumatism—arose from the poison generated by a torpid digestion and a clogged liver for which the Syrup is a specific. His dootors laboured hard to cure him no doubt, but without an understanding of the cause of his condition. Blind men may walk, but are apt to walk in circles. The remedy that succeeds where others fail is a product of industry and intelligence,
