NORTH. WALES COUNTIES ASYLUM. QUARTERLY MEETING. THE APPOINTMENT OF CHAPLAIN. Mr P. P. Pennant presided at the quarterly meeting of the visitors to the North Wales Coun- ties Lunatic Asylum, which was held at Denbigh on Monday. The members present were: For Flintshire, Messrs W. Elwy Williams and W. Davies; Denbighshire, Dr. D. Lloyd, Messrs J. A. Chadwick, A. O. Evans, J. Roberts, and J. M. Porter; Anglesey, Messrs H. Clegg and W. D. Jones; Carnarvonshire, Messrs T. W. Griffith, M. Jones, J. R. Hughes, J. J. Morris, and T. Roberts; Merionethshire, Dr. R. Hughes; and for the subscribers, Messrs P. E. Storey, R. E. Hughes, and W. Parry; with the cferk (Mr W. Barker) and the medical superintendent (Mr LI. Cox). THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS. The Clerk reported that the number of patients on tho books was 888, as against 891 on the cor- responding day last quarter; 468 were males and 420 females. The pauper patients were ap- portioned between the counties as follows:—Den- bigh 239, over quota 9; Flint 164, over quota 22; Anglesey 105, over quota 17; Carnarvon 226, over quota 6; Merioneth 87, over quota 2 The Medical Superintendent reported that the percentage employed to the total number of pau- per residents was 63 males and 55 females. Of the formoT a percentage of 28 was employed in outdoor labour, and of the latter 22 per cent. in needlework. QUESTIONABLE EMPLOYMENT. Mr A. 0. Evans raised the question of the employment of patients, and asked whether it was in accordance with the rules of the institu- tion to allow them to work for the assistant medical officer cox land over which he held shooting rights. Mr P. E. Storey protested against worrying the medical offloom with regard to these matters. The work which the patients had been called upon to do wa43 innocent and harmless. Mr A. 0. Evans: Not so harmless. I am told that the patients were caused to work in the bed of the river, and that they were brought back in a disgraceful state. After a heated argument it was resolved that the patients be not allowed to work outside the asylum premises except with the express sanction of tho medical superintendent. NEW CHAPLAIN APPOINTED. Tho Rev. Daniel Davies, rector of Denbigh, recently appointed to the living of Wrexham, wroto resigning his position as chaplain of the asylum, a position which he had held for ten years. In doing so, Mr Davies thanked the com- mittee and the staff for their uniform kindness and courtesy, adding that he was not unmindful of the unfortunate misunderstanding, not con- nected with the chaplaincy, which a few months past, somewhat disturbed their normal peaceful relations, and which was a deep source of grief t) him. lie could not, hovevor, allow this to obliterate the fact that for nine years he had discharged the duties of the chaplaincy without a syllable of complaint. On tho motion of Mr Clegg, seconded by Mr John Roberts, the resignation was accepted. It was then resolved unanimously, on the motion of Mr J. R. Hughes, to increase the salary of the new chaplain from £ 50 as recommended by the House Committee to £ 60, as against the J680 roccivcd by the Rev. Daniel Davies. There were only two applicants for 1he vacant post, viz., the Rev. T. Redfern, of Holy Trinity, Oswestry (who succeeds tho Rev. Daniel Davies as rector of Denbigh), and the Rev. H. Hum- phreys. rector of Ilenllan. Mr J. Jones Morris moved, and Mr W. D. Jones seconded, the appointment of Mr Hum- phreys, and the motion was carried unanimously, Mr H. Clogg remarking that Mr Humphreys alone complied with the advertisement. FURTHER ACCOMMODATION REQUIRED. Mr J., Jones Morris, who had to leave the meet- ing, gave notice to movo at the next meeting that, in view cf the fact that the number of pau- per patients is within 31. of the full number that could be oommod.too in the buildings, a com- I mittee bo appointed to consider the provision of further accommodation in the western division of tho Union. LUNACY IN CHESTER. A lotter was! read from the Town Clerk of I Chester (Mr Dickson) inquiring whether therik was available in the asylum accommodation to meet the wants of Chester. The average num- ber of lunatics, male and female, in Chester during the pa..9t. five years was stated tt> be under 70, and 100 beds would be ample for a consider- able number of years. Mr Dickson added that it had been reported to his committee that a scheme was under consideration for a rogrouping of tho North Wales counties in regard to asylum accommodation; if that were o, Chester desired the opportunity of joining the neighbouring Welsh counties. After some discussion, it. was decided, on the motion of Mr Storey, seconded by Mr J. R, Hughes, that a deputation from Chaster be in- vited to meet, representatives of the asylum vi-skoi-s to discuss the matter. It was decided to hold the next quarterly meeting at Wrexham.

LIVERPOOL AND NORTH WALES STEAMSHIP COMPANY. DIRECTORS' REPORT. The directors of the Liverpool and North Wales Steamship Company, Limited, in their eighteenth an- nual report to the shareholJers, Bay; "Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather experienced during the greater part of the eason, the steamers have carried t. fair number of passengers, and the result may be eynpidered as satisfactory under the circumstances. The increase shown in the working expenses is mainly owing to the advance in the price of coal and to the extension of the company's business. During the year the company purchased a small steamer for employment in the coasting branch of their business in North Wales. 'Hie new steamcr has been named St. Elian," and toolt up her position in the service in July. The various branches of the com- pany's service had been j erformed with regularity, and the steamers had been well kept up. After deducting the sum of iE5,215 17s lid for depre- ciation, the amount available for dividend and other purpoees-indnding the balance brought forward from last seas,r,-io £ 4,519 19s lid. Out of this the directors recommend a dividend of 5 per cent., carry- ing forward a balance of 91,334 19s lid. The capital account shows that the five steamers are now valued at £ 80,050, and the reserve fund is £7,000. The gross takings of the season in passenger fares, charter, season tickets, freight, etc., amounted to £ 40,050 12a 9d." The rejurt is to be presented to the annual general meeting of the company, which is to he held at the Law Association Rooms, Liverpool, next Tuesday afternoon. The retiring directors, who are eligible for re-election, are Mr II. Maclvcr and Sir R. H. Williams- Bulkeley, Bart.

A NORTHOP BUILDING DISPUTE. HOLYWELL RURAL COUNCIL AND THE SURVEYOR. At Friday's meeting of the Holywell (Rural) District Council, Mr D. Hughes reported on be- helf of a committee- which had been appointed to inspect an alleged encroachment at Northop Hall by a tradesman named Millington, who had built a house and shop without sending in plans to tho Council, Mr Hughes said when the committee met Mr Millington their surveyor (Mr Foulkes) lest his temper, and he thought there was going to bo a fight on the road. He thought it was a pity that members of the Council should be put in such a position on a public roaa. The Chairman (to the surveyor): I don't know whether it is in my authority to reprimand you but I must certainly ask you to control your tem- per when you meet committees, and net go that far. What is between Mr Millington and ycu has nothing to do with us, but certainly, for you to lose your temper like that when a committee meets, is very bad taste, at all events. Mr Hughes said there was also considerable fooling in tho neighbourhood on account of the surveyor having told the Council that the work was done in the night time. The Surveyor: I was told so. Mr Hughes: It is not so. For you to report it was so going rather too far. It is very un- fortunate for councillors to have to go to a place like that. It was decided the clerk should write and ask Mr Millington to remove the obstruction complained of. which it was stated was only a small matter.

My intention is fixed, to get my money or go to gaol. Now, you d scoundrel, if you would spare your life don't tnfle with a desperate man. Meet the tram from Cardiff, or I will make you send for the police, even if I have to break every window in your house, as well as your head. You know the amount; get it ready." On !September 24t.h the prisoner followed the letter, and was arrested at Welshpool on a war- rant, as he was taking a tioket for Llanfair, and on him was found a heavy screw spanner and 3s Id in money. The Rev. W. R. Roberts stated that he re- oeived many letters and post-cards from the pri- soner, in which certain allegations were made. The last letter was sent after the prisoner got prosecutor's address. In cross-examination, Mr Roberts said that to- wards the end of September, 1900, he and the prisoner made a trip to Manchester. Prisoner paid some, but not all, the expenses, but he would not have gone to Manohester unless the prisoner had consented to pay the expenses. He denied that the prisoner, as they boarded the train on the return journey, handed him money— four sovereigns. Evidence of the arrest was then given.

ACCUSED'S DEFENCE. The prisoner did not call any witnesses, but made a paeeioaaate appeal to the jury. He said he knew all along that he was fifhtmg a losing battle- To fight such a battle tUi that was botJh disheartening and heart-breaking. He was a man without resources, without documents, and without witrueeeee. He was without legal as- sistance or legal knowledge. He was confronted with an exceedingly black charge, and he was fighting alone against the legal intellect of the country. Hie defence firom ita very nature was bound to be mechanical and he had to fight with the only weapoDf, at his disposal—words. More tihan that. they were the words of a man who had leAt his position through 'his own folly. He asked the jury to aside all that tihey had read in the newspapers, and what they had beard o<f hie career, and to deal alone with the present charge, which he admitted was a very gainful one not only for the prosecutor, but for himiself- Counsel had deecribod hie as an adventurous career, but that had nothing to do with the jury. It would be for the judge to deal with what was absolutely proved against ihim in inflicting punieiunent- The prosecutor and he were collega chums. There was a time w'hen the prosecutor said he loved him, and he re- ciprocated that affection. Even in the prison cell at Shrewsbury, old college chums and col- lege scenes had come home to him. and, as it were, knawed at his heart's strings, and caused him to bite has liI to prevent him screaming out in agony. The case was a peculiar one, beoauee with the exception of the letters which ihe admitted having eent, there was absolutely no corroborative evidence to eupport the charge. From the very out&et it resolved it- self into a test between the prosecutor's veraci- ty and his own WOTCLS. And here again the prosecutor had all the advantage. All society would give preference to the words of a man who had a position rather than to those of a man who had lost his tiosition. That was the oustom, but who could say that this custom led to tihe vindication of the truth or to the rights of a man who had nothing to lose? A man who bad nothing to lose had nothing to gain by falsehood or truth, but a man who had everything to Lose by telling the truth had an inducement to keep back taat truth- He did not make insinuations, but ho asked the jury to car-efuiiy consider the fact- Proceeding to deal with the evidence, he said that it waa a fact that in September. 1900, he and the prosecutor spent searly a week to- gether in Manchester, and during that time the prosecutor told him—his oid college chum— that he had slight monetary difficulties. He promised the prosecutor help, and he kept that premise by handing the prosecutor £4 as he wag leaving for Stoekton-cn-Tees. That was the money ho had been demanding all along, and ho had hoped to that day that the prose- cutOlr would have found a duirty memorandum of the loan (laughter). He was charged with wihat was practically blackmail, but, he was not such a fooi as to do that. He was fallen, but no one had ever said that he was insane. Had he wanted to blaok- mail anyone was it likely that loir a paltry jB4 he would have levied blackmail against his old college dhum, and the prcepect of a long term of imprisonment ? Would he not ratlier have gone to a. sin. id Carnegie or Rcckfeller who could be bJúd again and again in la.rge doeee at regular and stated intervals without dying of exhaustion ? (laughter). He had known hundreds of students at college and hundreds of ministers. He had lived for months with ministers, and why should he select his college chum for levying blackmail? It seemed to him that the last maji against whom he would Jo such a thing was his coi'egc chum-his more than brother. It was to the prosecutor that he gave war relics from South Africa-, and it was he upon whom he had heaped kindness to the utmost ef his meams. He urged that the reading public would the next day eliminate all idea, of blackmail, and would believe that he had lent the prosecutor the money, and had only asked for what was duo to him. H he had erred at all he hod done so by making a reaeonablc demand in an unreasonable way. Ho was sorry for that. He had never intended to injure the prosecutor physically, and he did not believe that he was frightened. The prosecutor knew that he was a man of vigorous language, and if he wanted to injure him it was not likely that he would have sent the prosecutor a warn- ing letter. He had been placed in desperate circumstances, and although prosecutor knew that he owed him £4 for years he did nothing but receive the repeatedly-made applications, carefully number and file them. He never ence wrote a letter of warning to his old college chum and friend. He did write the letters to the prosecutor; but there was one expression that he wished to withdraw. He had told the prosecutor that he would have to "get monev at all costs, even if he stole it from the church." It was an ugly expression, and in fairness to the Wesievan body it should go forth to the public that no one could steal from the Wes- Jeyans any more than anyone could steal the Crown' jewe.'s, as the money was safely in the hands of accredited representatives. He wished to say that, a.5 he expected that it would be a long time before he had his liberty, according to the law of the land. The Judge pointed out that the prisoner was not doing his case any good by what he was doing. Prisoner said he would bow to the advice of the Judge, and would conclude by 6ang that he simpiy walked into the arms of the police. He had made a mistake, but all he did was to get the £4 that the prosecutor had borrowed and never paid. ACCUSED FOUND GUILTY. The jury unanimously found the prisoner guilty. Mr Elks Jones Griffith said that the prose- cutor did not want to be vindictive, but he asked the Judge to deal leniently with the prisoner, if he would withdraw the charges contained in the letters against Mr Roberts, and promise not to repea.t them. The Judge said it Mas a reasonable request to make, and the prisoner had made charges against the Rev. W. H. Roberts, for which there did not appear to be the slightest justification. The Prisoner said he would withdraw all the charges, and promised not to repeat them again. Addiesjinig the prisoner, hjB Lordship 0 said the ju.ry had found him guilty of a very serious crime. He could find no excuse for what he had done, were it not for two facts a much heavier sentence than the one about to be passed would have been the result. The first and the main fact tihat Mr Roberts, the p-rceeouitor, had requested him to deal leniently with tho prisoner; the cthiCr was that the pri- Gonor hin:uciif hud promised to abstain from mdlieeting Mr Roberts in the future. In addi- tion to this, prisoner had expressed' contrition for what he had done- However, the crime was far too serious to be paased over without a soerpwiha t revere sent ence. Hip Lordship then sentenced the prisoner to øix months' imprisonment, with hard labour. ) ■

one service of club trains, but five if de- sired (cheers). It was their aim to convey passengers between Llandudno and Man- chester in the most comfortable and plea- sant manner. The carriages of the Man- chester and Llandudno club train, with which they made their trial trip that day, were the finest in England, if not in the whole world ("hear, hear"). They were calculated to give the maximum amount of comfort in travelling. It was the railway company's earnest desire to make the North Wales coast the residential neigh- bourhood for Manchester, and he trusted that no stone would be left unturned until that object was accomplished. (Applause). Mr Hamman (" Manchester Courier"), on behalf of the Press, expressed their pleasure at being able to visit LIandudno under such genial conditions. He took the wet weather as a compliment. Llan- dudno was weeping because their stay was so short (laughter). Mr J. B. Bailey (Chester) regretted the absence of Mr Horne (the district superin- tendent of the railway company). He de- sired to endorse all that had been said by Mr Linaker, and to support him in heartily thanking the LIandudno people for their hospitality, and the cordial welcome they had given to the new club train, which he trusted would greatly benefit the town (applause). As far as. the North Wales coast was concerned, the railway company were always willing to give an ear to the requirements of the inhabitants. It was, however, difficult to- please everyone; whilst one section of the district wanted fast trains, those who resided near the intermediate stations were crying out for trains to stop more frequently at those stations. The company, however, did their best to plcase both sections of the travel- ling public, and were at all times pleased to listen to any reasonable request (applause). HEALTHY RIVALRY. Mr John Williams, Chairman of the Col- wyn Bay Urban District Council said that although Colwyn Bay and LIandudno were very near neighbours, and probably some kind of rivals, yet it was a healthy rivalry. Colwyn Bay was on the best of terms with Llandudno ("hear, hear"). He was very pleased to learn from the officials of the London and North-Western Railway Com- pany that they intended to make che North Wales coast better known still (applause). Mr E. A. Addy, on behalf of the rail- way officials, members of the club, and the Press, thanked Mr Chantrey, Mr Marks, and the members of the Llaridudno Council for their kind hospitality. The or- ganisation of the trip had been very ex- peditious on the part of the LIandudno Council, who only received the letter an- nouncing it on Tuesday morning (ao- plause). 4 lhe new train left Llandudno station on the return journey at 7 p.m., the visitors having been given a hearty send-off by the members of the Llandudno Council and the local Press. -i AN EXCELLENT SERVICE. .Llandudno and tho other North Wales Coast resorts are now brought within measurable dis- tance, as a residential suburb of Manchester. The following time-table shows that a Manohester man is enabled to leave Llandudno at 8.10 a.m. and reach Manchester two hours later. The return tuno of the "Manchester Suburban" has recently been altered from 4.20 p.m. to 4.55 p.m., in order to an ow of a business man putting in practically full time at his office, and still reach home at a rea- sonable hour.— Llandudno, dep 8.10 a.m. Colwyn Bay, dep 8.25 a.m. Abergele, dep 8.35 a.m. Rhyl, dep 8.46 a.m. Manchester (Ex.), arr. 10.10 a.m. Manchester (Ex.) dep. 4.55 p.m. Rhyl, arr 6.20 p.m. Abergele, arr 6.28 p.in.

The service is in existence all the year round, and during the spring and summer months, owing to the exceedingly heavy traffic it has created, an earlier express is run, leaving Llandudno at 7 a.m., reaching Manchester (Ex- change) at 9.12 a.m. A later return train is also run during the summer period, leaving Manches- ter at 6.15 p.m., thus enabling a business man who has taken a house down the coast for a month or a longer period, to reside with his family, each night. A club has been formed, composed of gentle- men travelling between Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, etc., and Manchester daily, who for the payment of a small annual subscription have the benefit of exclusive use of the club saloons, a concession which renders their journey one of extreme com- fort, and practically brings club life into the railway journey.
