THEFT OF VERMIN TRAPS. THE NEW REGULATION AS TO EVIDENCE. A Special Sitting of the Bathin Jastioes was held OR Monday, before the Rev Chaaoellor Balkeley Jones aad Or J R Jenkins, when Henry Moljrnaux, gamekeeper to Col Corawallis West, sharged Edwin Morris, of 64, Mwrog-street, a tailor, for that he did between the 33rd and the 29th of September, feloniously steal and oarry away two steel spring traps of the value of seven shillings, tte property of Col Cernwallis West. The accused was brought up in custody, having been arrested en a warrant, because he did not answer to a summons, Mr Edward Rohsrts (Messrs Lloyd and Roberta) appeared for the prosecution. The prosecutor stated, thai he lived at Coed Marohau, and was a gamekeeper on the Castle estate. He set some spring traps on the 24th of September for the purpose of estobiog vermin. lie put seme particular traps in the sawmill field. These he ttiseod on the 35th, and he had since seen them, and now produced them. He identified them by the initials "W.C.W." stamped upon them, and ale* heeanse they were without pegs. It was oa a duaday that he missed the tra»», and ea the following Tues^«« them again. Xhev act on the hank of the between the Tyeywern hridBa ««d th» Corwen road bridge, about 400 yards from where he had placed these. One ef the traps was closed aud the other was set. Upon the slosed one there were kiood and feathers, the feathers being these of a oock pheasant. The traps were eet in pheasant runs. The larger trap was hidden in some leaves- she smaller ens wae fastened Willt tt Wooden peg —it was the peg fas. h*u1 used te set the traps with en the mill neid. He did not toueh the traps, but eame next day to watch, oonogi. ijig himself ia the viciaity. Aheut live minutes te ten elelock the prisoner eame from the Cerwco road bride, walked past the traps, aad then back to them. He took them up, and walked with them along the river, stooping down further ODe Witness then went to him, and found that he had set one of the traps in another pheasaat run. Ssme conversation took place between them, and the priaoaer gave witness his name, and after a threat to hit the witness he oonsenUd to give up the traps. As witnsss did not know the prisoner, he toek him to Coed Mar eh as, where another keeper named Clabb told him he was named Edwin Morris. He then allowed the prisoner to go The defendant cross-examined the witness, and he then elected to give evidcDcc on his own behalf under the New Evidence ia Criminal Cases Act. He stated that be was going along the river side from the direction of Corwen road to Tyeywern, when he saw Harry Melyneux, the keeper, oemiag along towards him from the opposits direotiea. He had a couple of trape ia his left band, and a bamboo cane in his right. He asked witness where he was going, and witness said te bathe. The keeper then hit him with the stick en hia left eyebrew, and defendant fell. The keeper kicked him ssveral times, and defendant's face was covered with blood. Melyneux said, If For two pins I would kneek your brains out with these two traps." He also said, I do not know you and you must 1 some to Coed Marehan with me." When they got to Coed Marchan the defendant told I Olabb to saY wti. he was, and he had also told Melyneux. The defendant was oross-exunined by Mr I Edward Roberts, and said he wu hit en the left eyebrow with Molyøenx's olenohed fiat- although he had iast s..id ibis was done with the cane. There was no mark whatever now. He did not ttll Clubb, the otn keeper, that Molyneux bad hit him. Replying to tha Benoh, the defendant said that the evidenoc of the keeper was all false, as to the traps. To Mr Edward Roberts the defendant said that Clubb could see that his faop -n- all cot and blooding, He r: not take out a summons rgiiusi Molynenx, as he was watting to see what he would do first. The Chairman statid that the magistrates did not believe one werd that the defendant had said they believed the evidence of the keeper; and regarded the case as proved, Takisg into consideration that it was the defendant's first offenoe, they would deal very l»niently with him, by fining him one shilling only, and the coats, which, owing to the additional expense* of the warrants, etc., were 24s. Defendant would have a fortnight in which t.3 pay, and if he did not then produce the money he must go to gaol for one month with hard labour. Mr Edward Roberts stated that, in view of the conviction on this charge, ke would not prosead with the other ease for poaohing, which arose out of the same circumstances,

THE ENGLISH CHAPEL CONCERT. This concert took plaee on Thursday evening of last week in the Assembly-room. There was a very large audience the programme was brilliant and interesting and the event was a success from every point of view. A capital artistic effect was obtained by decorating the platform with pale green and yellow muslin and sprigs of ivy, which was hung along the front and arched over the doorway. Foliage plants were tastefully placed, and screens of a ground colour harmonizing with the pre- vailing tints formed a novel background, while a greenery below the cornice of the platform wall completed the picture. Mr Edward Roberts, as the chairman of the committee who had organized the ooncert on behalf of the English Presbyterian Church, stated that in consequence of the serious illness of the instrumental quartette party who were announced upon the pro- gramme, these performers were not able to appear. However, he was glad to say that another quartette, a vocal quartette, had been secured instead of them. He hoped the result would be that the audience would not be disappointed. This was about the only change that would take place in the programme. The concert then opened with a clever duet on Welsh airs by Miss Owen, Plas Coch, and Miss Katie Edwards. Mr. E. Barlow, tenor, then appeared, and rendered an interesting song. Miss Maggie Foulkes, of the Liverpool and Blackpool concerts a contralto vocalist possessing a voice of sweet resonance which is really well used, sang" The Toilers, and was enthusiastically encored. Following this came the quartette whom Mr Edward Roborts had referred to, namely, Messrs T 0 Jones, Robert Jones (bandmaster), J T Meirion Jones, and Robert Davies, of Denbigh. They sang a rendering of the "Ash Grove" in four parts with beautiful effect, and were compelled to repeat the latter portion. Miss Katie Edwards next appeared and charmed the audience with an artistic and sweet rendering of Cowen's Better Land," which seemed to suit her voice admirably. She was most heartily applauded. Her brother, Mr JH Edwards, the popular baritone, whose next" turn it was, received avociferous welcoDli, rand de- lighted the company beyond measure with Soldiers of the Queen." In response, to a recall of the most determined kind, he rendered the well-known ong, Drinking," one of the successes of Signor Foli. Mr Loui Parry, the celebrated Chester comedian, then took the house by storm with his extremely clever inter- lie, entitled •« The Village Concert," the impersonations of which were delightfully done. The sketch closed with the Chevalier song, "The Nasty Way 'E Bays it." Obeying the ultimatum of the folk "in front," he re-appeared to give a really perfect character impersonation, I'm getting too old for them now." The time set aside for the interval had been swallowed up by the encores; therefore the second part commenced at ODee, the Denbigh quartette giving a most interest- ing rendering of Bonnie Dundee;" airanged for four voices. Mr Barlow sang (f The Anchor's Weighed," bringing home the pathos of the theme with tasteful skill. Miss Maggie Foulkes contributed the charming and melodious ballad, A Dream of Paradise." Required to appear again by a mandate from an imperious democracy in the auditorium, she tang the sweet ditty, Tatters," with even better eff*"t, Iniss d .1 u. 7 II Edwards then appeared in a most effective I duet, entitled "Tell me gentle stranger. It was sung beantifully, and was deservedly redemanded. The quartette added to their laurols with the plantation melody, The Old Folks at Home in fact they achieved a triumph. Mr J H Edwards rendered The Storm Fiend," with verve and the perfection of intonation. The delicious quartette, "Good night beloved," was sung by the Misses Edwards, Xims Foulkes, and Messrs Barlow and Edwards and then Mr Loui Parry gave his oonclud- ing sketch, Never to return again," by Lester Barrett. It was exceedingly droll performance, but without a particle of vulgarity, showing that lt Fun without Vulgarity" Harry Liston's famous watchword—is still possible, notwith- standing the abominable character of much of the so-called humorous ditties of the present day. Being re-called by a, delighted audience, Mr Parry sang the h comic, All through the woman with a Goal black eye," with limilar loughtir, provoking skill, and the concept on terminated with God Save the Q08??' the solo being sung by Miss Edwards. duties of the accompanist were graoe y and cleverly carried out by Miss Owen, Plas Coob.

MR. T. GRIFFITHS'S SUPERANNUATION. Mr Thomas Griffiths, the late relieving officer, wrote to give particulars of the salary and emoluments received by him for the five years immediately preceding his resignation, showing a total of E768 6s 8d, making an average of X153 13s 4d. On this calculation the amount of his super- annuation allowance would be L99 18s 9d, for which he now made an application. The Board acceded to the application, the first quarter becoming due at Christ- mas. THE DISFRANCHISEMENT OF I'LRSOJTS IS RECEIPT OF RELIEF. Letters were read from Messrs 8 1v1Ó8iJ M.P., Tudor Howell, M.P., and J Herbert Roberts, M.P., acknowledging the receipt of the resolution passed by the board at its last meeting with respect to the dis- franchisement of persona in receipt of temporary relief when out on strike or from any other cause. VISIT RY MR BIRCHAX. The house was visited by Mr F J Bircham, Local Government Board's In- spector, on October 26th, and he entered the following report in the log book :_i I I have this day inspected the house and found the rooms clean. I heard no com- plaints. I had hoped to have found some j more ot the windows had been converted into sash windows since my last in- spection." Messrs J Foulkes and T P Roberts expressed their sympathy with this recom-, mendation, and it was referred to the house committee. STATISTICAL. The Master reported that the number in the house was 72, as against 76 for the corresponding period of last year. The number of vagrants relieved duriag the ¡ fortnight was 38, an increase of 3. A I bundle of illustrated and other periodicals had been received from Pool Park for the + inmates. No

BERTH AND LLANBEDB. THE HARVEST AND DEDICATION SERVICES. These were continued on Sunday last, when the Rev R S Mylno, M.A., B.C.L., preaching at Llasbedr, on Sacrifice in the Christian dispensation" that! concluded his discourse:—'Make them to be num- bered with thy saints in gioxy everlasting.' The familiar words of the "To Dcum" come home with peculiar force, while we are yet within the ootave of All Saints Day, while we are yet letting our minds dwell on the commemoration of thefaithfnl departed, and recalling the blessed example of those holy men and womea who, offering them. selves as a sacrifice to God, have fought the battle, and vrom the erewn, and now rest ia peace, awaiting the last great day. Amongsc that great multitude, which no man oan number, these will assaredly be people of very diverse character, and very different modes cf life, yet all hereafter occupied ia singing the mystic seug of the redeemed before the great white threne ef God. Some are aimbsred wacaget the saints, heeanse they are the bsro" of the Church, because by some supreme aebieve. ment, wbere other men have failed, they have promoted the gtary of God, and ths welfare of men. Such were the Apostles of Christ. Such were 8. David and S. ¡ Daneol amongst Welshmen. Others in numbered amongst the saints because their life is kid with Christ in God because they offer themselves as a sacribee to His glory. They are but little known to the world, and yet their lowly and simple example is of great price. Blamelessness of life, and quiet elevation ef spirit, real bumility, and stedfast faitb-theas are qualities of an high order, whioh do net indeed the world, but yet provide the best the higher developement ot life.

A POSIII-VE REtIlEDY S. FOR CORPULENCE. A SPANISH COUNT EE DUCES HIS WEIGHT 34 lb. IN, 22 DAYS. Any remedy that can be suggested as a cme; or alleviation for stoutness will be heartily welcomed. There has recently been issued a well-written book, the author of which seems to. know what he is talking about. It is entitled, "Corpulency, and the Cure" (256 p^-res), and is a cheap issue (only threepence), published by Mr. F. C. Russell, of Woburn House, Store- street, Bedford-square, London, W.C. It appears, that Mr, Russell has submitted an kinds of' proofs to the English Press. 0 The editor of the- Tablet, the Catholic organ, writes: "Mr. Russell does not give us the slightest loophole for a doubt as to the value of his cure, for in the most. straightforward and matter-of-fact manner he submitted some hundreds of original and un- solicited testimonial lettew for our perusal, and offered us plenty more n repaired. To assist him to make his remedy known, we think we cannot do better than publish quotations from some of the letters submitted. The first on a. marchioness, writes from Madrid—11 My son, Count has reduced his weight in twenty- two days 16kilos 34 lb.' Another wmesi- o ar (six weeks from the commencement oi lollowing your system) I have lost fully twp. stone in weight.' The t (a lady) writes-II am just half the size;' A fourth—' I find it te successful in my case- I hare lost 5 lb. in weight since I commenced (two weeks).' Another writes-, A reduction of f8 lb. in a month is a great- success.' A lady from Bournemouth writes—f I feel much better, have less difficulty" in breathing, and can vmfk about.' Again, z. lady says-' It reduced me considerably, not only in body, but all over.' The author is very positive. He says—" Step on a welJhJaw- machine on Monday mornmg and again Oft. Tuesday, and I guarantee that you have toet 9 lb. iu weight without the slightest harm, and vast improvement in health through riddin^-thc; Mstem of unhealthy accumulations.*

ANOTSBR CHABGK OF FBMCIITING rmTTivcNUtfia LTflVTaavL Sergeant Farrell supmoned Mrs Owens, of I the Druid Inn, Denbigh, for serving a drunken person with drink. Mr J A Lloyd, from the offiee of Mr A 0 Evans, appeared on behalf of the de- fendant. Sergeant Farrell said that on the date in question, abput 7.30 p.m., he saw the man, who was drunk, earning up town; ho was staggering drunk. The man eatsrad the Druid Inn, and he followed for the purpose of preventing him beieg served. When be arrived there the man was sitting down with a glass of beer in front of him. Ha asked Mrs Owen if she had supplied the man with the drink aad she said "Yes," and remarKed that the did not think he was so drunk, and took the gla>s of beer from ia front of the man. He eame out after assisted by bis friends. The man had been to the Plough Inn, but was not served there, the licensee, Mrs Roberts, being in the set of turning aim out when he, the Sergeant, arrived there. There wera five persons in the Druid Inn at the time, aad the men in question was sitting apart from them. There were three pint magis and three pint glasses on the tabl*. He had sinee failed to flad the drunken man, he had absconded. Mr Lloyd: 18 not absconded a rather hard term to use against a stranger. Would not gove away be better, Sergeant Farrell: Allright, gone away (laughter). Cross-examined by Mr Lloyd, the Sargeant said that he saw the man at 10.30 the same evening at the Britanaia. There was in the Britannia a pint 8Ug between two of them. The man was drunk bath times. He was a stranger kere. Mrs Owen toak the glass of bar from the -an in the Druid. In aamwer te the Bench he said he did net see any money passed. P,olife-cgaetablo Jones said the man was drunk aad eoald hardly get up the steps to the Druid. Cress-examined by Mr Lloyd, he said the man was sitting on a chair qaite quiet in the Druid. Mr Lloyd said Mra Owen had been at the Druid for 14 years altogether. She was a wiriow and had seven children, and if the ease was proved against her she would have to leave the house. In a ease of that sort they would have te be sure that there was a oomplaint. There was only a glass of beer that was paid for the man by a friend, but it was taken away and no money was passed. There were other persons there at the time when the police arrived that would give evidence that the police had made a mistake. If the man was drank at 10.30 that did not say that he was drunk at 7 30 previous. The man was a stranger te the locality, owing to the werks that are at present in operation about here. Edward Roberts had been working with this man, who has left, and he would say that the man has something peculiar ia his walk, and that he etaggere. He is weak kneed and it was possible that the man di4 stagger when he eame up the town. Mrs Owea said she was the licensee of the Druid Ilin. and had managed it, with hu late husband, for the paet twelve years. She had been the licensee for the past 14 months. The bar was full on the night in question and she did not see the man, who was alleged to be drunk, come in. Some other man eame and ordered lour glasses of beer. She looked the man in question, in the face, and he did not look drunk nor did she think he was drunk. The Sergeant same in and said the man was drulik, and she asked the Sergeant if the man leoked drunk, and he said that if she had seen the man coming up the steps lie was staggering. She took the drink from in front of the man. aud the ethers present said it was a shame, as he was not drunk, only his legs were had. Edward Bofeerts, Castle terrace, said that the man was very weak in the legs, and he had to taks his place en the barrow-ran when they were working together. The man was perfectly sailor, as far as his judgment was eonesrned. The man said that it was very hard lines that he could not have a drink after paying for it. Cram-osamized by Sergt Farrell: He eaid a young man erdered the beer. He bed never seen the man drunk. Thomas Myddleten, Henllan-street, said that the defendant walked very clumsy. lie was surprised when he heard that the man had been summoned for being drank. In answer to Sergt Farrell he said he 40741d net awear thet tfle man was drunk or not, he walked so peealiarly and staggered always. Robert Jones, Castle, said that the man was sober. The police might easily have been mistaken, heeanse of the peculiarity in his legs. He was not present when the bacr was served. The court was cleared for about 16 minutes, and on re-opening the Mayor eaid tbat the Bench bad carefully geae into the ease. The police might have been mistaken with the man because of his infirmity. The case would be dismissed (hear, hen). DSOTTK IN CRAILON ON A HOBS*.
