MOLD. BVRGLARY. -Between Saturday night and Sunday morning thieves effected an entrauce to the grocer's shop of Mr Adams, Kiog's-street. They sooured admittance by breaking a window at the back of the premises. The robbery was discovered in the course of Sunday, when close upon dE30, of which L7 was in silver, was missing. A 95 note and two cheques were left behind. At 12 o'clook on Tuesday night. Samuel Roberts, Milford-atreet, and Albert Davies, Garden Plaoe, youths residing with their parents, were arrested, and the money stolen was recovered near Maesgarmoo. On Wednesday after- noon the prisoners were brought up in ouetody before Mr Henry L1 yd Jones.—Mr J B Marston appeared for the prosecution, and after hearing the evidence of Snpt. Davies, the Justice remanded the prisoners in custody until the following afternoon. COUNTY OOUBT.-At this Court on Friday before his Honour Sir Horatio Lloyd, Mr T. W. Hughes, solicitor, Flint, made an application with referenoe to a case in the Carnarvon Oounty Couit. The aotion was between Elizabeth Williams and others, and Riohard Lewis Owen and others, and related to the estate of a Mary Owen, who by her will desired to leave the whole of her estate among her children. It seemed she lived with one Mary Morr;s, and the latter for some reason had taken potisession of the whole estate, and also of all papers relating to it. An order had been made by the registrar of the Carnarvon County Court for discovery, and also for answer to interrogatories, and with both these requirements Mary Morris refused to comply. He (Mr. Hughes) was now instructed to ask for an order for committal against Mary Morris. The necessary notiots had been given, but the woman seemei to treat the whole proceedings with contempt. His Honour said the order would not be executed before July 8th to give Mary Morris an opportunity of appearing at Chester on Thursday next to show cause why the order should not be executed FORTNIGHTLY PETTY SESSIONS: MONDAY.— Before Messrs. P. Tatton Davies-Oooke (in the chair), E. H. Wain, Thomas Pdrry, H. Lloyd- Jones, and W. P. Jones. "WH.A.T's IN A NAMB ? A Ciloen affiliation oase of Griffiths v. Roberts was called on for hearing, in which Mr J. B. Marston appeared for the complainant, and Mr G. Simon defended. The complainant entered the witness b.,x, and upon the apptaranoe of the defendant sue exclaimed exoitedly "That's the wrong man I've made a mistake; it isn't him, it's hie brother." This unexpected denouncement caused much surprise and amusement in Court, and with an intimat on that they would come again," Mr Marston said the summons would be withdrawn. 8FSOULATOBS IN THE MABBIAQE MABKBT. John Williams, slater and plasterer, a native of Mold but now employed at Ellsmere Port, was summoned under the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1895, for deserting his wife, Pbcebe Williams, I residing with a. married daughter at Maesydre. Mr G. H. Simon appeared for the complainant, and Mr J. B. Manton defended. The complainant's rase was, that she was married to the defendant at Pendref Chapel, Mold, on the 2nd of January last. This was her second marriage, while the defendant had twice previously entered the bonds of matrimony. After marriage they lived with her daughter at Hughes'-row, and subsequently, for two months, they resided in a house of their own at Pownell's- row. During the latter period the defendant was out of work, and she kept the home going by nursing. They then went to live with her son at Nerquie, and they were supposed to leave there to inhabit a house of their own in the same locality. Early on the morning of the 28th May, the defendant left the district, and she had heard nothing from him, nor had she reoeived anything for her maintenance John Griffiths, the son of the complainant, corroborated.—For the defenoe, Mr Marston said that his client's third venture in the matrimonial lottery did not yield him a prize. Defendant bad married the complainant, and was willing to support her, but declined to keep her family, and oonsidered it was his wife's duty to come to him wherever he oould provide a home. —After a patient hearing the Bench dismissed the case, on the ground that desertion had not been clearly proved.

in art, none in science (botany), and that there were 42 resident students, and as many as 31 in one olass. -Hr J. L. Muspratt replying to a remark, that it was a question whether it was worth while continuing the oentre as there were only ten external to 40 internal students, said, Pantasaph was one of those places where they got a oertain amount of grant and the grant being made on the attendance which with so many internal students it was a centre that oould fairly be continued in anticipation of obtaining more external students. The cost for teaohing would be no more.—The Rev. D. Oliver: The cost will be more if you have two centres where one would do.—Mr Muspratt: I doubt whether you would get all the external students to attend the Holywell Centre.—Mr D. Pierce said there were pupil teachers attending the Pantasaph class owing to the convenient times at which the class subjects were taken, but the facilities to reaoh HolyweU would be much better than Pantasaph, and they would probably attend Holywell if the classes were held to suit their convenience.—The Clerk read a statement showing the expenditure connected with the Pantasaph Oentre during the past three years, 1895-6, £ 103 7s. 2d.; 1896-7, £ 132 16s. 7d. 1897-8, £ 106 16s. lid. The Rev Howell Harris wrote stating that the report as to the classes at Ffynnongroew was not received but he would forward it in the course of the next week. No application was reoeived from Halkyn, though it was stated that Mr Lester Smith and Mr Peter Jones bad intended to be present at the meeting to make application. With regard to the Holywell Centre it was resolved to agree to the formation of the oentre, and the subjects recommended. The further arrangements were referred to the local Committee in conjunction with the County Sohool Governors then present, the Head Master, and the Clerk. The Governors also approved of the services of Miss Pugh being retained as oonvener in the first instance. In reference to the Pantasaph Class the Rev. D. Oliver said the expenditure In connection with the olass teemed enormouis.-Mir Thos. Thomas remarked that the statement of accounts rather surprised him. He was not aware that the teachera were appointed and paid by local centres.—Mr Muspratt replied that it was done in certain centres. At Pantasaph the looal subscriptions were somewhat considerable. Last year they amounted to 25. He thought the Governors oould deoide with regard to Pantasaph, much the same as they had done for Holywell.—Mr Pierce desired further inquiries before deciding and that a Committee of Governors should be appointed for that purpose.—On the proposition of Mr Wm. Jones seconded by Mr Thcs. Thomas, Pantasaph was declared a centre, and as to the subjects to be taken in the classes the same were referred to al committee of Governors. The same action was taken with regard to Ffynnongroew. As to Halkyn, the matter was left open, as the formation of oentres conld be deoided upon up to the 1st of August.

The proceed- ings were taken in respect to the neglect during the quarter ending June 23rd. He would ask the Bench to give the Sohool Attendance Committee every assistance in carrying out their duty. The evidence was misleading when a certificate was sub- mitted that had only been obtained the day previous and did not indioate the condition of the child at the time of the sohool negleot.-The Benoh appreciated the remarks of 14.

THE HOLYWELL SOHOOL BOARD AND THEIR TEACHERS. At the School Board Offices, on Saturday, a conference was held of the members of the School Board, and the head teacheia in their employ, to consider the question of the forma- tion of central or other classes for pupil teaohers. There were present: Messrs E. Bryan (chair- man), Jos. Jones (vioe-ohairman), R. Foulkes, SI. Jones, and Thos. Humphreys; Mr and Mrs Pieroe, Halkyn-street Schools; Mr W. M. James, Bagillt; Miss Owen, Bagillt; and Mrs Parry, Spring Gardens; Olerk, Mr. W. H. Roberts. Mr Foulkes (Chairman of the Sohool Manage- ment Committee), said the meeting was called to oonsider the best moans of forming central or other olasses for the benefit of the pupil teachers under the Board. Mr T. Llewelyn Jones, on behalf of Mrs Jones, Bagillt Girls School, apologised for the absence of his mother, who wae unable to be present, and added, his mother had desired him to state that the pupil teachers under her charge were provided for by correspondence, and she did not wish them to be disturbed in their oourse of study. Mr D, Pierce, as senior teacher, said he should like to know the feeling of the Board before proceeding to any discussion of a definite scheme. Mr Foulkes said the idea of the Board was the benefit of all oonoerued. The Board de- sired the greatest possible degree of efficiency in the interest of the children and of the ratepayers. Mr Pierce said the idea of the Board had been put into effect when a oolleotive class was formed and proved a great success; a" sup- plemental olass formed subsequently proved a failure. As to central classes, the formation of such would be very different. Only one oentral class was allowed for such places as Bangor and Carnarvon. The Chairman remarked that it was under- stood that the Central Class would be subject to the approval of the Inspector and open to inspection. Mr W. M. J mC' raid the formation of a Oentral Olass wuuia be almost impossible with the present teaohing staff. Mrs Pierce signified her agreement with the opinions expressed. Miss Owen said she ooincided with the negative opinion to the formation of a oentral olase, and added that her pupil teachers were provided for by correspondence. Mrs Parry also said her teachers were oonnected with correspondence olasses. Mr S. Jones asked, so long as the opinion of the teachers was adverse to the formation of a central class, was there any possibility of having any olasses whatever to advanoe the education of the pupil teaohers in preparation for their examination, better than had been done in the past P Mr Pieroe said with regard to the past, the pupil teachers had passed very satisfactorily and many had become certificated teaohers.
