A sitting oi the oount magistrates wa.s ¡ held on Wednesday, Mr W D W Griffith presiding, and tbe other magistrates present were Capt Cole and Mr T J Williams. Thomas Edward Hooks charged Joseph Matthews, of Rhos, Roabon, with U"gbt poaching on the Eriviatt Estate on the 2nd September, abcat one o'clock in the morning, in company with other men, who were there for the purpose of taking game. Mr Aneurin 0 Evans appeared on behalf of the prosecutor, Thomas E Hooks, in briefly stating the evidence, said he was a gamekeeper in the employ of Mr Joe Lumb, of Huddersfield, who held the sporting rights. He was on duty last Saturday morning about one o'clock in Eriviatc Park when he saw some men raising up a nc. Be weuc up to them, when thsy ran aw ay. He ran after them and Ultimately caught the prisoner. When searched he had in his possession a stick and in his pocket were four stones (pro- duced). The preserve was a good one, Laving turned out about oGO pheasants, and there were pheasants there that night. The other men who ran away took the net with them. Mr A 0 Evans I should like to point out that this man acmes from Ruabon for this ptupcae. Supt JoneS pointed out that there were half a dozen previous convictions against the prisoner. In answer to the Bench, HOOKS said tiia<. when he went up to the prisoner he- defended himself with the stick in his left hand, and tried to get the stones out or his pocket with the right hand. The Chairman said he had pleaded guilty to the charge of night poaching, He did not think that there was any possible defence for sue prisoner, as he had been caught in the act. They had had before them a number of previous convictions, and the prisoner did not seem to try to con- form to the law, and he did not see why any mitigation should be shown towards him. He bad gone there provided with stones, for no other purpose than to use I them in case he would Le disturbed. Only last February he had come out of gaol I where be had been sent for felony at I Wrexham. They could not see their way to lessen the sentence, and the prisoner I. would be sent to prison for three months. prisoner: Previous convictions have nothing to jo with this case. The Chairman A man's character has everything to do with the case: and you have admitted the offence. Prisonew The other side have all the say in the matter. The Chairman And when you come out sf prison you will be bound over in the sureties of E10 and another of .£10 or two of £5 not to so offend far 12 mouths. People must be protected from such as you. —.—

Mr Mellard: So yon come prepared to-day with sufficient money (laughter). j Police-constable Howell Jones said that on the 5th July, about 9-45 p.m., he saw the prisoner going home staggering drank. He was however goicg quietly and was not making any disturbance. Sapt Jenes said that the prisoner had a very bad record, but not fer drunkenness. The Bench were informed that when the poliee were executing the warrant of arrest, the bouse was barricaded, and which proved of great difficaliy in effecting an entrance. Sergt Farrell: He resisted the police. The Mayor: You hear that. Prisoner: I came quietly. The Mayor: In the first case yea are fined os and costs or 7 days. and in the second case 10s and costs or 14 days. Coi Lloyd William- remarked that if the prisoner had appeared in the first instance in answer to the sumii:>.<D3. the fees would not have been so high. David Jones, a yonn labourer of Henllan- street, was now charged in custody with LaN ing resisted the police (Sergt Farrell) in the execution of his duty. e Prisoner I only went to fetch Robert Ellis' cap, air. I did not try and stop him with the man. The Mayor That's not guilty. Prisoner: Yes, sir. L Sergt Farrell stated that about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) he was on duty in Henllan-street:, in company with Police constables Jane* and Pierce, in search of the 'ast prisoner oa the warrant of arrest (produced). He tried the front door of the house, bat discovered it to be securely locked. He placed Police-constable Pierce at the front door, and proceeded to the back door himself, but found the back door to be locked aiso. He heard voices inside, and he called out and told them who he was and that he wanted to get inside the house. The iast prisoner's mother said be should not go in, but after difficulty he forced the doer open and found prisoner pushing hard at the back of the door against him, and also the last prisoner's mother. He succeeded in getting to the front kitchen where he saw Ellis ani he told him he would have to go with him, and at the same time he want to open he front door, when both Eliis and Jones tried t-o preTent him from doing so. Just at that moment Police- eons dbn Howell Jones came into the house through the back dcor He then succeeded in opening the front door and got Ellis out into the street. Whilst in the street the prisoner came out a^d gor held of Ellis' arm and tned to take him frcus- witness. Pelice- constable Pierce then went to his assistance, but te prisoner still he d on and said they shoul not take him. He then ordered Police constable Pierce to apprehend the prisoner; which he did Prisoner: I only got. bold ot his jacket and held it up. In answer to the bench. Sergt Farreii said that the prisoner was slightly under the influence of drink- Prisoner Pierce tried to choke me on the tioor. Police-constable Pierce, on being called, I said C1 had nothing further to add to the evidence of what the Sergeant had said, but fully corroborated ail thai had been said. 001 Lloyd Williams: Yon are quite sure that this man took hold ot Ellis' arm ? Sergs Farrell: Yes, by the left arm. The same prisoner, David Jones, was g now charged with ASSAULT | OR th6 same day aa the previous offence. Prisoner He chucked me down, The Bench Did you hit him. Prisoner No, sir. Police constable Pierce, prosecutor in this case, said that yesterday (Tuesday) after- noon, he was in company with Sergt Farreii and Police constable Jones, when they pre- j ceeded up ifenlian street. The Sergeant i :ried Ellis' front dcor, but found it locked. II when Sergt Farreii proceeded to the back door, whilst witness wa^ stationed at the 1 front door. When Sergt Furred came out with Ellis, the prisoner also came out with him, and got hold ot arm. He wmt to assist the Sergeant, but the prisoner again got hold of Ellis' arm to drag him away, when he was ordered to apprehend away, when be was ordered to apprehend the prisoner, which Le did. Afterwards j the pri-oner commenced to wrestle with prosecutor and put his legs around the legs I of prosecutor with the result that both fell to the ground, and whilst on the groucd the I pr'eoner kicked like a madman. Prosecutor only received one kick on the right knee, I but the prisoner made several attempts to get hold of prosecutor's testicals, but he prevenfed him from doing so by pinning him by the "liroat to the ground. With the assistance of Police-constable Howell Jones he overpowered the prisoner and took him to tLe I ck up. Police-cons'able Pierce bore showed his ¡ knee to the bench. It was swollen to an enormous size, and the mark of the kick was plainl? to be seen. Continuing his evidence, prosecutor said that prisoner scratched him on the face and that prisoner scratched him on the face and hands whilst on the ground, and whilst on the way to the police station he was very I violent, and tried to get away. Prosecutor's clothes were covered with mud. The Bench Is your knee very painful ? Police'constable Pierce Yes, sir, I have had it attended to. but have taken the I I bandages off so that your worships would bo able to see it. It was explaineL110 the beach that owing to his knee being so bad, Poliee-constable | Pierce had had to be told off duty for a i while. Mr T J Williams: Did you receive the kick while on the ground. Police-constable Pierce \e3, sir. ¡ And that is the result of the kick you received from the prisoner.—Yes, sir. Prisoner I could not kick him. I went j for Robert Etiis' cap (I o prosecutor) Ilidn't 1 you throw me on the floor ? i Police-constable Pierce You put your legs around mine and we both fell to the floor. ) Prisoner: Didn't the people shout out and fall you not to choke me. I Police-constable Pierce: I had to do so, to keep you down. Col Lloyd Williams (to prisoner): Why didn't you go guietly when you were arreated ? What business had yon to inter- fere wi h the man, and why put yourself in the position you have done ? Mr Mellard The law of the country must be obeyed. How would you like to be a-saulted. The law must not be degraded in this way. Sergt Farrell remarked that thB prisoner called out for some of the people to go to his assistance. In answer to the bench, if he had any- thing to [say, prisoner said he was very sorry for everything he had done. The black list was produced against the prisoner, and in the list of 1898 he had been previously convicted for drunk and I disorderly, and also for damage to a police. cons, able's trousers. T'lolic(=- con %'able Williams, Nantglyn, in answer to the bench, said that the damage done to his trousers by the prisoner was the j I result of a kick. Col Lloyd Williams: I do cot like people I that kick. You have been convicted once, and here is another charge. Shocking The Mayor said that the prisoner had appeared before them that dav on a very serious charge. The police would have to be protected in such matters For resist- ing the police the prisoner would be lined 108 and costs, or in default 14 days, and for assaulting the polise he weald be seu t to ¡ gaol for one month with hard labour, with- out the option of a fine.

LICENSING BUSINESS AT BurHIN…
LICENSING BUSINESS AT BurHIN j AN APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER REFUSED. TLJ usual sitting of the Police Court took place on Monday, when the magistrates present were the Rev Chancellor Balkeley J O/It s, Dr Jenkins, and Mr J W Lnmley. Mr W Lloyd (Messrs Lioyd and Roberts), applied for the transfer of the "Black Horse Inn, Ruthin, from Peter Evacs to Robert Roberts, Hand Brewery. A temperary trans- far had previously budl granted, and the application was now for a permanent one. In auswer to Mr Lumley, Sergt Woollam said if this transfer wtre made Mr Roberts would hold two licenseti, but he intended, be be- lieved, to re-transfer that of the Black Horse to another man.—Mr Lloyd's application was thçn granted, as was also his further appli- cation for a temporary transfer from Mr Roberta to Mr Salusbury, of the Red Lion. A fall transfer of the license of th Royal Oak, Lianarmon, was granted from Noah Roberts to Matthew Parry. Mr A 0 Evacs applied in behalf of Riohard Parry Jonte, of tha BJar'd Head, Rathin, f,.r a transfer of the license to Robert Roberts. A temporary transfer had already been granted. Mr LumJey: How many times has this house changed hands during the last twelve monthB? Mr Evans Once before, and it was because the tenant, living away from Ruthin, found it inconvenient to supervise the houae. Mr A Lloyd Jones applied for the full transfer of the license of the Swan Inn, Ruthiti, from Goodman Humphreys to David Jones. H" produced three testimonials, from Mr 0 R Owen, Railway Stores; Mr Theodore R suw, and Mr T P Roberts. The applicant, Mr A Lloyd Jones added, was a jubstantial man. Mr Lumley: A ttubistantial man, and he allows his parent to be on the parish 9 Mr Lloyd Jones I was not aware that it was ac). Does he contribute now towards the main- tenance of his fathfr ? The father heJd property in Llanrhydd- .treat, and it has bijeti sold, and applied towards his maintenance. Yes, that is the father's property, But does the applicant ? I believe tile authorities nave taken the property. It was on account of the con- dition of his parents that he returned to Ruthin from South Wales. Mr Lumley These are three testimonials that have been given by gentlemen in the town here about Mr Jones' suitability to keep a public house. I believe be has been away for many years and there is no testimonial from anybody who has known him during the time be has been away. He has only been here nine months more or less probably. I am not quite, sure that he has been here nine months I rather doubt it. Sergeant: I know he was here before Christmas. Mr Lumley I think we should have testi- monials from someone who has known him during the time he has been away. Mr Lloyd Jones I did not anticipate you would raise that objection. Mr Lamley: I don't feel justified in mak- ing this tranfer. Mr Lloyd Jones: Surely you will not let the question of the maintenance of his father have any weight in the transfer of the license. Mr Lnmley I don't say I do; you said he was a substantial man, and it was inconse- quence of that that I asked the question. Mr Lloyd Jones: Well, he is a substantial man for his position in life. Mr Lumley: Ab, now, you are qualifying it. Dr Jenkins: I think yoa had better try and improve upon thesa testimonials by getting fome from people who have known him daring the time he has been away. Mr Lloyd Jones: In that case, will your worships grant a temporary transfer until next sessions? Mr Lumley: I am not willing to do so. Mr Lloyd Jones: It would be merely a fortnight interval at the worst. Ifthelicense is not renewed at the next sessions the house will be closed. Will you accept my sug- gestion that there should be a temporary transfer F Mr Lumley I am not raising any object- ion I am using my judgment. Both applications were refused. The Rev Chaneellor Bnlkeley Jones did not <Mijuuie*tc is the S-9." Tan ease.
RUTHIN TOWN COUNCIL.
RUTHIN TOWN COUNCIL. The monthly meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday evening, when the Mayor presided, and the other members present were:-Counsillors T H Roberts, Joseph Davies, Francis Bowel], E Tegid Owen. John Pioberts. Theodore Rouw, E T Huglips, Thomas Willian s, with the town clerk (Mr W Lloyd), deputy clerk (Mr Baldwin Griffith), borough surveyor (Mr Price Morris), and borough inspector (Mr John Morris). THE PRINTING OF THE BYE-LAWS. MR JOHN BOBBRTS DISHEARTENED. Upon the reading of the minatea Mr John Roberts said he understood the bye-lawe had been favourably passed, and he wished to know when the members were likely to receive printed copies before application was maie tor their confirmation by the Local Government Board. The Mayor: I don't think you have got hold of the right fact, Mr Roberts. Mr Baldwin Griffith then read the minutes of the bye-laws committee, which stated that it was resolved that it be a recommendation to the Couscil that the bye-laws, as approved by the Committee, be adopted, and that the Town Clerk obtain an estimate of the cost of printing the same. Mr John Roberts: I observe in the first place that that is a report which is not signed. That, of course, is a gross infor- mality. Reports of proceedings, not signed, are net presented in the proper form. I have taken a great deal of interest in the estab- lishment of bye-laws for this borough, and I want to satisfy myself that they are satis- factory. What was the good of obtaining tenders for printing these bye-laws unless it was with the object of supplying every member of the Council beforehand ? The Town Clerk It would be very ex- pansive to supply eaeb member of the Council with a copy, and I would suggest that a copy should be stint to the Local Government Board, and another affised to the Town Hall. Mr John Roberts: The report says that tenders be obtained for printing the bye-laws. That shew* clearly that th» mention was that a copy of these bye-laws should be supplIed to each member before going to tl\e Local G"ver3mont Boarti- ff it, was not th" in- tention to tmpply every member with a copy why should the committee recommend the Council to invite tenders for printing them, when only two copies were necessary ? Mr Rouw I think Mr John Roberts's idea is a very good one, but what we wanted wati to have some idea of what the expense of printing these bye-laws would be. Mr John Roberts pointed out that only throo members were present at the meeting at which these recommendations were made he had himself attended five or six meetings at which then? was no quorum, and in the eno he beame disheartened with the business. Mr Thomas Williams: 1 think it is very unfair that three members of the Council should have taken this upon themselves. Mr Roow I must protest 9aine wba" Councillor Thoisas Williams has just st% It was a committee of tnewhoitJ council, and if other members were not present, it WAS their own fault, Mr Williams himeolf was a member of thlJ committee. I Mr Willianns: No, I was not. I Mr Ronw I beg your pardon, you were 1 the whole (Jou;ioil formes the c^mmitt^o. I The Mayor: The Coapoil is not justified ia discussing this matt r any furtr" r, I was a quorcm present, the repur* was oub- mitt«d, ard approved of. Mr John Roberts I think it is very h'ird II lines upon me, when I have attended ro mauy meetings of the cornouttee, thit tcu sbould^go and submit thot:e bye-laws to the Local uovtriiHifeut Board without giving us an opportunity of going through them- Tho -Viayor: Arb you aware that the Deputy Ulerk has gone to the trouble ot writing everyone of these bye-laws and submitting them to every member of the Council months ago ? Mr John Roberts: Du we understand that these bye-laws will be affixed oa the Town Hall door ? I maj find it nacessary to repre- sent to the Local Government Board Lat some of them should not be confirmed. I want to know especially with regard to the t bye-laws rrpp9Cting the keeping of pigs (a laugh). It is no laughiDg matter. The keeping oi pigs is a very serious matter for the working people of the town. Th6 -ratrer then dropped, with the under- standing that the Town Clerk would take the necessary steps to stcure the confirmation of the bye-laws by the Local Government Board. APOLOGY FOR ABSENCE. Alderman R P Davies wrote regretting that he was unable to be present. Mr John Roberts I also regret very muoh that Mr Davies is not bere, because it was my intention to call attention to some extra- ordinary rulings that he gave as Chairman. As he is not I)res-nt, I will defer the matter until he is. APPOINTMENT or MEDICAL OFFICER. Mr John Roberts proposed the re-appoint- ment of Dr W D Jones as Medical Officer for the Borough, subject to the approval of the Local Government Buard. Mr Dowell seconded, and the motion was carried. AN APPEAL TO DEFAULTING RATEPAYERS. At a meeting of the Council in committee it was resolved that the rata Anl1.tn.. M.. Charles Goodman Jones, be requested to attend an adjourned meeting of the committee that day, aad produce a list of all ratepayers who have not yet paid the general district rate, which was ordered to be paid during tbe first six months of the current financial j.ar. The Rate Collector attended accordingly and presented the list, and it was resolved that a special appeal be made to all defaulters tt) pay their rates before the next meeting of the Council, so as to avoid the necessity of taking legal proceedings to compel payment. THE TOWN COUNCIL AND THE COUNTY COUNCIL. At a meeting of the Couccil in committee the following letter was received from the Local Government Board I am directed by the Local Government Board to advert to your letter of the 31st nit. respecting the difference which baa arisen between the Den- bigh County Council and the Town Council of Ruthia as to the payment by the County Council of the sum of EI15 16s OJ in respect of the eost of paving certain footpaths in the borough, and. I am to ioqure whether the Town Council have in relation to this matter considered tbe jadgment in the case of Marlboro' Towa Council v Wilts Couaty Council." I It was resolved that the Town Clerk be instructed to repiy to the Local Government Board that when the arbitration proceedings were commenced, the Town Couneil were not acquainted vith the decision in the case re- ferred to, but that on being made acquainted I with that decision it is now resolved that arbitration proceedings be withdrawn; and that the Town Clerk be instructed to prepare a statement shewing the amount now due from the County Council in respect of the claim for tiles and submit the same to an adjourned meeting of the- committee. I The report was adopted. THE HEALTH OF THE BOROUGH. The medical officer, Dr W D Jones, sub- mitted his monthly report as followi, I I beg te report that during the present month five births and two deaths were registfered, deaths being due to natural causes. The bereagh generally appears to be quite free from any infectious diseases, and 1 have no cases of a special nature to report." BOROUGH SURVEYOR'S REPORT. In his report the borough surveyor, Mr Price Morris, recommended that as the Gas Company were providing five additional lamps for street lighting, an additional lamp should be fixed in Upper Clwyd-street, where it was much needed; and that the lamp in front of the Town Hall should only be lighted when necessary and should be put in charge of the Gas Manager.—Adopted. THE RUTHIN CHARITIES. The following letter was received from the Charity Uouianseioners Adverting to your letter of the 5th M»y, I am to state that the Commissioners have seen ns sufficient reason for withholding their approval ot the provisional re-appointment of Col Gregson Ellis as a governor of the above-uatued charities." TH VOLUNTEER ENCAMPMENTS. A. PROTEST FROM COL CORHWALLIS WEST. A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES. At a meeting of the Volunteer Encampment Committee the following letter was received from CelCornwallis West:—" The statement as reported ia the Free Press, that I objected to the encampments of Volunteers in Tir Simwnt and Cae Ddol is eontrary to the fact. What I object to is that the situation of the camps is seleoted without reference either to 1 myself or my agent, Mr Bireh. At the present time one camp is within a few hundred yards of the game keeper's house and close to the woods, instead of being at the North end of Tir Simwnt. The coaiequents of this may be that considerable damagw may be done to woods, fenoes and game. If two regiments came to Ruthin at the same time in future one had better be in Cor wen-road, and the other at the North end of Tir Simwnt, but I must insist on permission being previously obtained through my agent. The tenants on my estate have no power to sublet their holding without sanotioa beinfr oivon I have no desire as stated to prevent encamp- ments of Volunteers at Ruthin, but the Corporation will be more in order in future before they invite Volunteers, to obtain formal permission for the use of the ground upon which the caap would be formed, 1/an .in owtier." A claim for damages was received fcoun Mr Hugh Roberts, Castle Park Farm, as follows "I am giyen to understand that you pay all rent for fields and for damages done by Volunteers, and therefore I enclose my account. A party of men took possession of my clover field, without my permission, for signalling purposes, and did much damage. for which I must be compensated, Hundreds of men have been crossing my meadow during the week, breaking the fences and disturbing the cattle." The ciaim amountsd to £ 12 £10 for damage to Park meadow, and Y,2 for damage to clever field by signalling. It was resolved that the Town Clerk reply, I stating that the Council is not responsible fer the damage, Mr Rouw said he had seen Mr Eirec, the agent to Col West, who said he was entirely I satisfied with everything that was done ia | connection with the Volunteers. He had no » complaint to make either vith legard trespass or damage. A letter was read from J5* Birch reference to the oomplaint from Mr Roberts. He had seen the Town Cl^* letter, and he would like to kaow if the Council was not responsible, who wae. would also like to know who was goinjf repair the fences en the roads. The Town Clerk: We have nothing with the trespassing by the Volnntt-ere. The coramittef's report was aonpted. NO BATHING PLACE THIS VKAK. At a meetioK of the bathing place CO#' mittee on Augu-t loth, it was resolved tW* tho question ot providing a public b&tbiiw place be deferred, and that the Surveyor steps to prevent indiscretions by those batbis$ at Cae Ddol.
