CHRISTMAS IN DENBIGH. Christmas in Denbigh passed off very quietly. The weather was fine on the whole, and outdoor sports could be pleasureably indulged in. There was some skfttiag on the flooded fields on Saturday and also up at Gwaynynog, but unfortunately a thaw set in on Sunday and the prospect of having some fun on the ice was doomed. Several football matches were played on Monday and Tuesday.

'OUT OF WORK." The distress caused by the lack of employ- ment, which has been so Keenly felt in all our large towns, has not been up the present felt so much in the rural districts. Unfortun- ately, however, this state of affitirs has ceased to exist in Denbigh since the Asylum building operations have been considerably curtailed and the drainage work in the town practically finished Quite a gang of young workmen have been marching about the town and neighbour- hood failing to find any work, with the result that many of them made ttp their minds to enlist, and yesterday (Thursday) quite a number of them entrained for Wrexham in order to join the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

CHRISTMAS AT THE ASYLUM. Cbristmastide was faithfully kept up to all its traditions at the Asylum. Joyous services were held in the Church on Sunday morning and afternoon. The sacred edifice had been most prettily decorated by the matron (Mrs Niven), which considerably enhanced the pleasure of the services. At the Church service in the morning the Rev T Walter Llovd officiated and preached a suitable Christmas sermon, afterwards administering the Holy Communion to quite a large number of the patients. On Monday the usual Christ- mas night tiauce was held, and « very enjoyable time was rv-ed. After some light refreshments the co;. tte of a huge Christmas tree was distributed amongst the patients, who c. ftgiily delighted wit! tuia pleasant j innovation. In between the dances songs were I given by Dr Cox. who was loudly encored. Mr Roberts (a pat i ant) also gave a Bong.

CHRISTMAS SERVICES. Christmas Day opened in the Churches with early celebrations of Holy Communion, at which there were a large number of com- municants. At 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Holy Com- munion was celebrated in English at St David's Church and also at the morning service in Welsh. At St Mary's Church there were also celebrations of Holy Communion at 8 a.m. (Welsh) and at the morning service (English). The morning service was of a most hearty and joyous character. A beautiful Christmas anthem was sung by the choir, which was conducted and excellently accom- panied by the organist, Mr Alex Bellamy. The Rector and the Rev T Walter Lloyd officiated, the latter preaching an appropriate Christmas Day sermon. The sacred edifice had been most tastefully decorated for the occasion by the following ladies:—Altar, Mrs Francis and Miss J C Lloyd Williams; choir stalls and lectern, Misses Clough pulpit, Mrs Davies, The Rectory; gasaliers, Misses Lewis; font, Mrs Frank Wyøne and Miss Amy Wynne. The Rev Thomas Jenkins, B.A., Rhyl, rendered most valuable services by assisting our re ident clergy, in the place of the Rev D Lester Jones, who left this parish last week. He delivered two admirable sermons at Sc David's Church at the morning and evening services respectively.

Savage Attack on a Game- keeper at Llannhaiadp. Denbigh Men Charged. Considerable interest was manifested in a case of night poaching and assault, which was heard at Denbigh County Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, before Mr W D W Griffith (presiding), Col Mesham, Capt Cole, Mr W G Rigby and Mr J D W Griffith. James Regan, head gamekeeper to Mr W C Waud, of the Brynmorfydd estate, pre- ferred the charges of night poaching and assault, on the 17th inst, against John Jones, Ysgubor Wen, and Robert William Ellis, Red-lane, Denbigh. Mr Charles Mellor, barrister-at-law, Leeds (instructed by Messrs Gordon, Hunt and McMasters, solicitors, Bradford), appeared for the prosecution, and Mr J Holland Roberts (of Mr A Foulkes- Roberts' office, Denbigh) appeared for the defendant Ellis only, the other man having absconded. Mr Mellor suggested that the both charges of night poaching and assault be treated as one. The Chairman pointed out that, according to the information he had, they could not do so, because under one section of the Act they could treat the one charge summarily, but on the other charge defendant could be tried by jury. Mr Mellor said if there was any diffi- culty about the matter he would proceed with the charge of assault only, which was the most serious. Mr J Holland Roberts asked for an adjournment of the case as he had only had notice that his services would be required a few minutes before the Court sat, and therefore he had had no time to prepare the defence. The Chairman: When were the sum- monses served ? Supt Hugh Jones On the 21st inst. Mr J Holland Roberts explained that it being Christmas time the matter had been left till the last moment. Mr Mellor said they need not discuss that application as he only intended calling enough evidence to justify a remand, and the issue of a warrant against the defendant Jones, who had absconded, so that a remand in the interests of justice was most unfortunate. Another un- fortunate circumstance was that Regan, who had always borne a most exemplary and life-long character, had been bound over to keep the peace, but these men need not think that they could do anything they liked with him just because of that. If Mr Waud could have been present to give evidence on that occasion no doubt the verdict would have been different. He would now call Regan who would depose as to the most murderous attack that these men made upon him. THE PROSECUTOR'S EVIDENCE. James er Regan said that on the 17th instant about 11.30 he was in the company of two keepers named Roberts and Richard Prince. They were on the road leading to Brynmorfydd when they heard a gun shot. When he heard this he placed Roberts and Prince to watch the road leading to Bryn- morfydd. Further on he placed another man named Robert Roberts by a gate to watch for anyone who might pass. He then entered the Coed Mawr wood and after going a short distance he met Jones whom he had known before. He (Jones) struck him a violent blow on the back of his hand with a stick, but notwithstanding that he closed with him and got him partly down and took the stick off him. When they were in this position a man from behind felled him with a gun. The man was Ellis, and he raised the gun right above his head and tried to strike his (witness') head, but he missed it by witness just dodging round. Instead of receiving the blow on the head the gun caught him on the shoulder and felled him. Jones then gave him a running kick in the ribs and he had been suffering considerably from these injuries. This all happened about + hour or 20 minutes after the shot wai fired. When Jones got up he shouted "shoot him" twice. The defendants then rushed into the cover and there seemed to be a third man there. He summoned his companions to his assistance and sent for Police-constable George Jones who found three cloth caps at the place where the scume took place, one of which was witness'. Dr Lloyd said he was a subpoenaed witness, and on the IUiih instant he examined Regan and found that there was on his right shoulder a large contused wound and discolouration, which would be the result of a violent blow. The butt end of a gun might have produced it. His right hand was badly bruised and swollen, and when be examined his ribs he also found them discoloured. He had examined and seen him three times and he was not surprised that he had not yet recovered from bis injuries. Police-constable George Jones, Llan- rhaiadr, gave evidence to the effect that he had found the three cloth caps and a stick where the scuffle h-,il taken place. He went there about a t rtel' to two in the morning. He knew "iio defendant Jones well, but, as yet, bad fail*, i to find hiau -f The Chairman,: Do uyoU kuow personally P Witness Yos, very well. Mr Mellor said this was as far as he could go at present, and h;> would now ask for tho remand of Ellis au,i a warrant of 'iprehe* sion to be issued against Jonf ,:e-" The Chairman, after a brief consultation with hi* [leagues, said they had decided to adjc •. the case, and Ellis would he bound ovvr in his own recognizances of £20 and two sureties of ICIO each. A warrant! would be issued for the apprehension of Jones.

Fatal Accident at Llandyrnog. A LIVERPOOL DOCTOR KILLED- I INQUEST AND VERDICT. Great consternation was caused in this neighbourhood on Monday when the sad news was received that a man had been shot accidentally at Plas Bennett, Llan- dyrnog. This incident was rendered all the more sad because it had happened at such a bright and festive time of the year The unfortunate gentleman was Dr James Armstrong, late of Rodney-street, Liver- pool, but who about 2l years ago came to reside at Plas Bennett, a prettily situated farmhouse a short distance from Llan- dyrnog, and occupied by Mr and Mrs T H Roberts. The facts of this distressiwg affair were immediately reported to Police- constable Thomas, Llandyrnog, who in- formed the Coroner for West Denbighshire (Dr J R Hughes) of the circumstances which necessitated an inquiry. THE INQUEST. The inquest was consequently held at Plas Bennett on Tuesday morning, before Dr J R Hughes. The jury comprised Messrs F A Eaves and Edwin Davies, Gladstone-terrace, Llandyrnog; E L Morgan, The Shop; D Jones Evans, Golden Lion; Thomas Williams, Tyn-y- caeau; Robert Foulkes. John Jones, Waen Wen; J Griffiths, Spodydd Thomas Roberts, Penpalmant; J Hope Woodrow; Owen Jones, Waen; Hugh Davies, Waen Cottage; John Roberts, Giles Wynne, Thomas Jones, and Isaac Jones. Mr F A Eaves was elected foreman. At the outset of the inquiry the Coroner, in addressing the jury, said he was sure that they all felt, as he did, very sorry that they had been called together to inquire into that tragic affair. The deceased bad held a very high position as doctor in Liverpool. He unfortunately lost his wife, and this (the Coroner) had been informed had so upset him that he had relinquished the high duties he held and retired. He thought that the evidence that would be brought before them would clearly convince them that this was a pure accident, but the facts would be brought before them, and they would have to decide to the best of their judgment. THE DAUGHTER'S EVIDENCE. Miss Margaret Isabel Armstrong, the first witness called, said she was lodging at Plas Bennett, Llandyrnog. The body now lying dead was that of her father, Dr James Armstrong, aged about 56 years. He was a retired medical practitioner, and retired about four years ago. He then came to reside at Plas Bennett. He was pining after his wife, but nothing in particular at the time of his death. She last saw him alive on Monday morning about 10 o'clock. He said ho was going out to shoot. This he frequently did. About 10.30 a.m. Mrs Roberts called her and said that there was something wrong in the dining room. Witness could not get into the dining room through the door so she got in through the window. She found her father lying on the floor against the door. He was lying with the muzzle of the gun at about his shoulder. There was a slight smell of gunpowder. When found he was quite dead but was not stiff. The door was not locked and the curtain behind the door was in some way disturbed. His hand was not on the gun. He had his right hand on his chest whilst his left hand was down. She did not hear the shot. She was the first to enter the room. Thos Roberts, Mill Farm, said he was called to Plas Bennett about 10-30 on Monday morning. He followed Miss Armstrong into the room and found the body lying on the floor quite dead. He took no notice of the gun. MRS ROBERTS' EVIDENCE. Mrs T H Roberts deposed that she last saw the deceased alive about ten minutes to ten o'clock. He was the same as usual— very bright. He said "good morning, Mrs Roberts, and how are you this morning?" He then went to his breakfast. He was a man of very cheerful disposition and was always a very sober man, never touching anything. He had been in the habit of visiting Plas Bennett with Mrs Armstrong, but about 2¡ years ago he came to Plas Bennett to reside. Of IN NO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY." Robert Bertrand Jackson, Ulverston, said he had known Dr Armstrong since his marriage, 25 years ago. He was a man of very sober habits. Witness saw deceased's letters on Monday, and they were entirely business ones. He had an income and did not live up to it, as he saved a considerable sum out of it during the year. Witness knew that deceased was in no financial difficulty at all. THE SUMMING UP. The Coroner said that he had no further evidence to call. They had the evidence of. Miss Armstrong and Mr Jackson that deceased met with a family trouble about four years ago-the misfortune of losing his wife-and in consequence of that he retired from his general practice, which was a very important one in Liverpool, and came to Plas Bennett to reside. From the evidence of Mrs Roberts he was a thorough gentleman and made friendship with all he came in contact with. Then again was the evidence of Miss Armstrong, who was the first to enter the room and found him with the gun resting on bis chest on the same side as the shot went off, and they had seen the side of his face had been blown away, and the shot must have penetrated the brain. This cartridge shot would penetrate the brain just like a bullet and cause death there and then. They had heard Miss Armstrong say that he spoke of going out shooting and went to the dining room. The gun, perhaps, had been loaded on another occasion and one cartridge left in it and Was forgotten. Therefore, in opening the door of the room, no doubt the gnn went off accidentally with fatal result. If he had intended doiug anything to himself, he—a doctor—would eith r. have placed the gun under his chin or In his mouth. Speaking between the iines, bØ (the coroner) was of opinion that in tryiag to open the door of the diuing roof gun, in some way unknown, got in something and accidentally ott. Not a morsel of evidence had been given to suggest it was done purpOselYt and therefore the jury had not the slightest reason to suppose that he did it himst f. I He thought that they i,sd every reason to, suppose that the gu^o went off acci- dentally and that deceased was F j through the brafa, <'«*tuch killedt' instantly. He thought that their linking should be to that eff,30t- Without any hesitation the jury returned a'^rdict to the effoct that the said Dr James Armstrong was accidentally shot through the brain by a gun whilst opening the door of the dinicg rwu! and that he died there and ihea froj the injuries •eceiTed, l THE FUNERAL.

It is with sincere regret that we record Ihe death of Mrs Lloyd, the wife of Mr T E^Lloyd (postman), 1, St Hilary's-teri-ace, Denbigh, which took place on Saturday, in her 38th year, at the Infirmary. She had patiently suffered with Christian fortitude for some years from an unfortunate accident, and the climax came, when about three weeks ago, acting on medical advice, she was removed to the Infirmary, where, not- withstanding careful nursing and skillful surgical attention, she passed peacefully away. She was a faithful, conscientious Chutchwoman, and leaves a husband and little daughter to mourn her loss. The funeral took place amidst signs of general sympathy yesterday (Thursday) at Whit- church, and was largely attended. The Rev T Walter Lloyd was the officiating clergrman. The chief mourners were:—Mr T Lloyd (husband), and their little daughter, Vera Dew Lloyd, Miss Mabel Atkins (niece), Mr and Mrs A E Atkins (brother and sister-in-law), Master Hubert Bassett (nephew), Mrs Dew, Park-street, and many other intimate friends.
