PILES AND FISTULA. Safe and Speedy Home Cure Without Operation. FRM TO SUFFERERS FOR 30 DAYS ONLY. Joat Published. An illustrated Treatise by 1W. II. Veno, F.S.So. (Loud.), explaining in de- vil the bam* treatment of all forms of Piles and kmdrod troubles, showing how these Amgeccos afflictions may be easily and speedily any necessity for an For thirty days snly this instructive ■ook wfll be sent free to all sufferers, and fcpp&eatian should be ma.de at once to W. H. raNCk Dept* (P. 177), Cadsr-fitreet, Manohea- he thought the original motion could be amend- ed. H, in oommon with others, did not under- stand that in adopting the original resolution, they would be shutting out the right of local bands, for instance, to perform OIl any pa.rt of the Promenade after 7.30 p.m. He urged that tha.t should bo modified, and the resolution would have to be rescinded, as uuggo&ted by Mr Hilr3 motion, before the necessary amendment could be made. FOR THE COUNCIL. The Rev. W. Hughes, epcaking against the proposition to rescind, assured the Counfxil that he had no axe to grind whatever. It was true that he took the Pavilion on the Sundays in tho summer time, but that- was purely a matter of business with himself and the Pier Com- pany, and the Public Hall would suit him just as well. He believed the majority of t'he in- babitanto, if there was a. poll, would support the Council. They must have high-clats con- oerta in the Pavilion, and they wore to have Ohom. very cheaply. Rlhyl had to sjpond £ 10,000 in order to get them, and there would probably ) be a 1<>ø upon thoJU from year w year. He, too, would like also to have minstrels and pier- rote on the Promenade in the evening, but they oould not have them and the concerts. ihe Council must choose, and if they lost the oon- oerts they would loso bhe high-elae& visitors (bear, hear). There was no need to alter the resolution this year. It was arged t.;ut they should do that in order that the Lwojocai bands should be permitted to play on jhe Promenade. The company were willing that the two" bands should play. Mr E. H. Davies: They have never asked for permission to play there, and they have not been in the habit of playing there. In reply to Mr Wm. Davies, The Chairman said ho had seen no letter from tihe Pier Company, stating they were will- ing that the barids should play on the Pro- menade. The Rev. Wm. Hugftiea: I understand that there is some oommunica-tion to the effect that they are willing for the bauds to play. The Clerk said ho had seen no letter. Tho Rev. Wm. Hughes: May I ask Mr Bovan whether such a letter has been seoit to t'he Coun- cil from the company? Mr Beva.ii: Nothing written. Mr Wm. Davies: There you aro. Tha.t is how they go on. hn't it awful? (laughter). The Rev. Wm. Hughes: I was given to under- stand that a letter had been sent. Mr Wm. Davies: Making talea wftiioh can t be proved (renewed laughter), Mr Davies added that the matter had only been discussed in oommittee. How, therefore, oould the Pier directors have known anytihing sufficiently well to take action ? The Clerk &aid it was <4uito possible that the Pier Company had learned of the decision of the committee, and that they had adopted a re- solution as suggested by Mr Hngftim Mr Wm. Davies: But that would mot be very regular, would it? A PROMISE. Mr George Bevan sai-d he migiht perhaps state that the Pier Company had not tho tvliglhteat ob- jection to the two bandtj—those of Oold Colwyn and Colwyn Bay—'performing at either tho Old Colwyn or Rhos ends of the Promenade after 7.30 p.m. The oom.pa.ny did not consider that the bands woaild 00 detrimental to tihe euooess of the Pier concerts. The Chairman: Can we take that? Mr Bevan: You can take thit for granted. The Rev. Wm. Hughes said Mr Mason, the 'h I I --I L chairman of the PHM* directors, had distinctly told him, in reply to a question, "You oan put your bands on the Promenade," and he had Mr Mason's consent to announce that in the Coun- cil Chamber. Mr W. Davies: This is very irregular-yery irregular. The Rev. W. Hughes: It was quite aocidentai that I met Mr Mason—I don't know tdio gentle- rn a I L-arid Mr Wm. Davies: It is very strange that all tiheae things are accidental. The Rev. Wm. Hughes said bhat such was the case nevertheless, and he would stand to his guns whatever happened. The speaker went on to say that the Pier Company, acting on the Council's previous decision, had already engaged some members of their orchestra, and if they reeoinded their resolution, he thought tihe Pier Company could come upon the Coun- cil for damages caused in consequence of any financial loss entailed thereby. Mr Blias Hill: But there is no resolution passed as yet, and if they have engaged artistes they havo done so at their own risk. The Rev. Wm. Hughes: Well, we will see, Mr Bliss Hill: That is a threat now. Tho Rev. W. Hughes: No; it is no threat.. I ana no solicitor, I know; but Mr Bliss Hill: You arc the junior oounsei, I suppose? (loud laugthter). The Rev. Wm. Hugfhes. in conclusion, paid it would be very dishonourable for the Council to withdraw under the circumstances. Mr Ed. Allen: But, unless we rescind this resolution you cannot enter into this now ar- rangement with the company. If that can bo done without our stultifying ourselves, I do not mind. Mr J. Die ken contended that. the s'oppmg of the Promenade performances would not help tho Pier Company. He did not like the idea of pier,rot or min&trel entertainments being gont into the fields at nigiht; it was better to have them on the PpoInona-de in the light. Mjr E. H. Davies, as one of the largest rate- payers and the oldest inhabita-nt at that meet- ing, supported the agreemenit with tilie Pier Convpany in the interests of the staple indus- try «,f the district., namely, the lodging atnd 'boarding-houses. The concerts had been pro- vided for seven years by the company, and there was no return. If the ooncorts ceased they would lose their better-class visitors, and property values wore already going down fast *"W~. n rjK MR BEVAN DEFENDS HIMSELF. Mr George Bevan, in reply, said that Mr Blifcfc Hill had insinuated that all he had Raid or done over that matter had been for the Pier Company only. He wag exceedingly sorry ho was in any way interested in the Pier Company if it lent colour to so unworthy an insinuation, tout if he had not been a director of tho Pier he would have been a much keener supporter of tihe agreement. He had been a member of tl i at, Council for over eighteen years, and lie chal- lenged anyone overlooking his career during that time to trace a single vote which he had given but that had been given free a.nd in- dependent of all personal intereeriU whatever (hear, hoar). He had worked harder than any- one else on the Council to carry out great loaal sohemes, and ho claimed that he had to a great extend been successful (hear, hear). As he had a-Iroady stated, if he had been free, he would have fought over that matter with very mudh. mloro earsnestiness than he had done, because ho believed it was tihe only correct polioy for Col- wyn Bay. Of what value were eight niggera and six pierrots who performed for an hour and a. half to two hours every evoning of the week compared with the orchestral concerts in the Pavilion? He ventured to think that if the Town Advertising Association were to adver- tise all over t)he Kingdom at there were eight -nigg-org and six pierrots performing on the Col- wyn Raj Promenade every evening, that it would not sucoeed in attracting to the. t.own a singlo visitor from tiho other side of C,hee<ter, whereas if it were advertised that high-claws ordhewfcial concerto were given in the Pavilion, many families would be attraoted from various part.s of the oountry. He assured the Council that he would not lift a finger for the com- pany if he thought it would be against the in- terest of Oolwyn Bay. He had more interest in Colwyn Bay as a ratepayer an4 as a public re- presentative tha.n he had in the comii>anty. But what was the use of spending the hundreds of thousands of pounds they had spent with a view to making Colwyn Bay the leading watering- plaoe in North Wales if they woro not going to oater for the visitors in a proper manner? Ho was perfectly siwre tlhat if they wetre to rely upon eight niggers a.nd six. pierrots as a. source of attraction to visitors, leaving the higih-class con- certs at bhc Pavilion to fall through, Coiwjyn Ba.v would very soon drop out of the race; and it would take it a good many years to make good the ground lost. It had been said that the Council were going to help the Pier Com- L.- L _L i.. 11 ,'1 pany to pay its way, out wuiai was reauy me case was that the Council were going to help the company beoause tihe Council believed that thigth-ol-u-ss oonicorte were eaaantial to the well- being of Colwyn Ekyr. The Pier Company were moat anxious to work with the Council for the good of the town, and wouJd meet the Council as far as they could. He assured the Council tihiat the directors would not oppose tihe giving of concerts by tho Old Cblwyn Band or tho Town Band at tho Rhos or Colwyn end of VLio Pavilion. Mj- Wm. Davies said that question had crop- ped up in consequence of a newspaper cry tihat the Pior concerts were going to stop at Colwyn Bay. Such a. report did a great deal of harm to Colwyn Bay, and that was not the first titne suclh a. bbing had been dome. "If tfheso people don't get their own way," added the speaker, "tihey at once try to blacken tho town. This is not the way to meet sudh a company. This Rpirit of bluff must be disoouraged, and I hope that wlhatevcr oomes of this resolution, the company will remeattber tlhat bluff won't improve their case with the Council in future." The speaker said a good ma.ny workingmen wenit on, the Pro- menade in tihe evenings to hear the niggers and pierrots, and tihey would not tlhank tho Council for depriving tibem of tflieir oh 004* amuse- ments. A LADY INTERPOSES. At this stage an elderly lady who had occu- pied a seat in the apace reearved for the general public, rose to speak. "Mr Chairman," she pro- ceeded in » piercing voice, "I represent every hotel, every boarding-house, and all the leading pooaMtt in Colwyn Bajr The Chairman (uplifting his hand by way of remanfitronce): Excuse me, madam* but your intrusion is irregular (hear, he-ar, and laugili- ter). We have no lady members on the Council a<3 yet, though we may have next year (renewed la ugh tor). I am sorry we cannot hear you (hear, hear). The lady resumed hOor ohair in unmistakable confusion. Mr Wm. Davies: This is very irregular. Mr Chairman—(loud laughter),—especially while I aml on my feet making a fpeedh (renewed laugh- ter). Mr Davies concluded by saying he be- lieved that in the interests of morality it would txo better to have the eji>torta.incnenf« c;n the Pro- menade in the light than in dark fields, as was now suggested. Mr E. H. Davies: I offered to allow tihe use of my field in the evenings, the money to be handed over to the Town Advertising A;.sx?ia- tion. After that statement by Mr Wm. Davies, I beg to withdraw that offer ("Oh"). The Chairman, in putting the motion, said the Cournoil had its. honour at stake. It would be rather undignified if they went back on their agreement with the Pier Compa.ny. The proposition to rescind was rejected by ton. votes to five, and the recommendation of the General Purposes Committee was approved.

ABERGELE CHORISTERS ENTERTAINED. THE VICAR ON Lt-tûRCH MUSIC. Tho clioir and bell-.riiigcr.->" annual supper took place in the Church House, Abergele, on Thurs- day evening. The caterers were Mr and Mr9 Jones, The Motropcle, who. all usual, gavo the utmost satisfaction. About 74 sat down to an excellent supper, including, besides the members •of the English and Welsh choirs and the bell- ringers, the following ladic3 and gentlemen:— Mn Jones (Vicarage), Mrs Williams (Harp Hotel), Mrs Thomas, Ms Harrison, Mrs T. Jones, the Vicar, the Rev D. R. Griffiths, Mr Williams (parts warden), Mr Edwards (senior), Mr J. Hannah, Mr Bedford, Mr Fletcher. Mr Perkins, Mr Harrison, Mr Browne, Mr Sam. Davies, Mr T. Jones, Mr R. Pickup, Mr Evan Roberts, Mr John Roberts, and Mr David Parry, Two boxes of cigars «\De of which was generous* ly ,rinn by Mr E. n. Griffith, Bryn Aber, wnose unavoidable atsanoi was much regretted, and the other by Warden Williams) very consid. r- ajlv eatlètfind the pleasure of the smokers among the "o-Tipanv during the evening. THE VICAR ON THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC. When supper was over and tho tables had been cleared, the Vicar said: — We have now oome to the end of the first part of our pro- gramme, and it it a part to which we have given our full and undivided attention, for we have all enjoyed the good things which have been laid before us. A better supper no one courJ pos- sibly desire, and he highest complimEnt I caP. pay Mr Mrs Jonas, The Metropole, is to sav what it is only true to say, that they nevrr fail to give the most complete satisfaction. At this ataga of the proceeding: perhaps you will allow me to do what. I usually do on an occa- sion like this. namely, draw your attention to matters of a graver character. Another year of 'Church work i es gone by. The past year was rich in opportunities for work for God, for Christ, and for His Church. The Master expects every member ot His Church to uo something for His vineyard is no place for idlers-- "Go, work to-day in My vineyard," is His com- mand to every disciple. No one can be a true member of His Church without displaying in His I Church life a certain amount of salt-denying In- dustry. Ti o-e who are here are not only mem- bers of thi> Church, but they have pledged them- selves to do a certain definite work for Christ and for His Church. And it may be well for us to pause to-night to ask ourseh e; how we hav,) doiij what we pledged ourselves to do. How fcave we fulfilled our promises? Did we do our duty last year willingly, heartily, and earnestly, or did we dq-it half-heartedly and negligently? Was it. a pleasure or a burden to us? I need not dwell upon the importance of t ose duties which you. profees to do. The organisations which are represented here to-night are essential to me progress of Church work in the parish. Our two choirs, for instance, take a meet important part in the services of the Church. They arc the leaders of the congregation in this department of Church work. And as a great portion of our Church service is sung, it is very desirable that th singing of the choir s ouid be good and oorioct, and such as will stir up the devotions of the congregation. St. Paul was evidently fond of good singing, for he tells the Corinthians, "I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding' also." According to St. Paul their good singing must be hearty, ce- votional. and correct. Now to attain ü) tnis standard three things appear to me to be ab- solutely nocessary, namelv, Jove for the wod:, competent instruction, and regular attendance at the practices. Our worldly vocations convince us that no one can make headway in life unleis ne is interested in and loves his work. Musieal people are as a rule enthusiastically devoted to music. As regards competent instruction, we Tn this parish arj. very happily situated. Wo hava in Mrs Thomas, our Parish Church organist, quito a.n expert. It is to be hoped that she may loog be spared to fill the post, which Ino adorns with suoh conspicuous ability. Then we have in Mr Bedford, the organist of our Mission Church and the conductor of our English choir, eono wlio is musical to the tips of his fing'ers. As oanductor ho is unwearied in his eiTorfrs, and is to those who receive the benefit of his instruction la splendid example of devotion to dutv._ In Mr Jone3, the oonductor of our Welsh choir, we have one who is most popular in our midst, most painstaking, and most anxious about the reputa- tion of his choir. Our bell ringers, with their enereretic captain, Mr Russell Edwarcs, deserve the highest praise for the punctual and regular way in which they discharge their duties. My •grateful thanks are due to the wardens, sides- men. clerk, and the sextons of our Parish and Mission Churches. And last., but far from being least, I gratefully acknowledge the valuable ser- vices of my colleague, Mr Griffiths. May each one of us go forth animated with this spirit: "I will this year be more true to what I have pledged mvself to do. I will do it not for man, but for God. and God helping me. I will do it better than I have ever done it before." Tho rest of tho evening was spent in discours- ing music, kindly supplied by the choir and bell- rinors. On the motion of Mr Harrison, a. heartv vote of thanks was accorded the Vicar for his ad- dress, and the genial way in which ho had con- ducted the proceedings. • A very pleasant evening was brought to a close with three cheers for the Vioar.

COLWYN BAY PETTY SESSIONS. A SERIES OF INTERESTING CASES. CHARGE AGAINST A LICENCEE DISMISSED. OLD COLWYN LANDLORD ASSAULTED. Mr Knooshavir presided over these sessions on Saiburday. Too justices present were; Mr J. Watkin Lusmley, Mr James Wood, Mr William Jones, Mr T. J. Williams, Rev. Thomas Parry, Mr J. W. Raynes, Mr Jdlm Williams, witih die Clerk (Mr James AmphLctt). LICENSING. Mr E. A. Crabbe, Atw-rgolo, on behalf of Mr F. C. Meier, licfioioeo of th* Rhos Abbey Hoibol, applied for an extenssioin of time till three a.m. on tiho occasion of a danpo at the hotel on Friday. 17th in&t. The justices allowed an extension till 2.30 aju. FORCE OF CIRCUMSTANCES. William Staymton, a coadhman employed at. the Rhos Abbey Hotel, who was 6tunmaucd for drivkng a. vohlcie without a light after tihe legal hour, satisfied the Bench that he had offended through f-/heer force of circumstances only, a.nd for tihafc reason the mmons was dismia-ed on palYment of oo&ts by the defendant. A RELAPSE. Mary Builows, of Victor-road, Colwyn Bay, who was summoned for drunikexuiess, was repre- sented by Mr E. A. Crabbe, wiho., on her be- half, pleaded guilty. Tho advocate urged in extrication that during fihe past nine months ihis client's conduct had been exemplary. "We had to bo very careful," ho oontimsed, "tiha.t flhe fiihould be prevented from getting drink, and in this we were sueocsafutl, but on this ocaasiioni she somichow slipped out and got drink aomewlhere. She was found by Jones on fee Promenade helplessly drunk, and she must thank the eergeant for .looking after her so well (laugthter). Supt. Hugh Joines: This is tOO defendant's eevcntlh appearance, your worships. P.S. Jones Reef*: I Should like to add, your wore/blips, tihat I incurred a shilling ex'peuise in conveying her to the Polioo Sftati&iU, and I re- spectfully appJy for the refunding of that. 1 M'r Crabbe: Of course, tlhat was vory nooesiary under the circumstances; I quito admit that (loud laug'hter). Tihe Bench imposed a fine of 20s and costs. DRUNK ON LICENSÐD PREiMLSKS. Frank O'Dcmnell, a labourer, of Grange- road, Colwyn Bay, Was changed witili being drunk on the licensed premises of the Cayloy Arms Hotel, Rihos-on-Sca, an the 4th inet. Mr E. A. Crabbe defended O'Donmell, who denied tho offonoe. P.S. Jones Rees said tfhat about three p.m. cm tiho daor in question ho entered the taproom at the Cayley Arms Hotel, wdioure be observed the deforxitant who appeared to be very drunk. O'Donmell eat in a corner by the fine. Witryss called for the lioanooo, and, after drawing his attention to tho man's oondition, advised him to have the defendant remove from the pronfi&eis. "We had to sihout two or three times," said the Sergeant, "to wake him up. He appearod to have beetu asleep. He then got up and went cut turning towards Ooilwyin Baiy along the Promoiiiade. He etaggered along for a tihort distance, but a little furtiher on he leaned up against some railings. I should add that tihere were four emiptty glastes on tihe table in front of the plaoe where defendant sat, and though, there wore four otther mtpn. in bhe room they aU sat further up the table, and in a. differemt place." Oroea-examined by Mr Crabbo: Hie weather was bitterly cold on the day in question, and it was possible that some men, who were in the Iiabit of drinking and who worked on the tram- way—as the defendant did—went to work with little c<r no breakfast, and got nothing to eat till tihey knocked off at. midZday. Mr Crabbe: I understand they won't serve O'DKwrraodl under any circumstances at Colwyn Bay ? Witn>et»: I don't know about tlhat. Mr Cra'bbe: You may take that from me. And tihe landlord of the Cayley Arms has been in the locality for a few months only, and there- fore does not know mtrJ1 abotut this x»a.n'! The Chairman: Would it be- ptossihle to take the case again&t the liconoee with this? Mr Crabbo: I don't mind, sir. Supt. Hugih Jones: I would prefer taking thfuu separately if yoor worships have no objection. The Chairman: Very well; we will go on. POSSIBLE CAUSES. Caritinuing his aro^x1 xanii.na.tian, MT Crabbo referred to the sleepy condition of the defendant "ihon the sergeant saw him, a.nd asked whether witneai did not think that this "drovrei- rj?:3s" was due to the effect of the cold weather. P.S. Jctnco Rt-es: It may have been, but it may also have been due to heat, because tho man oat mear the fire (ki-uigihter). Mr Crabbo then questioned the' witness as to wthej'.ihor it was not his duty to see wihat came of tlvo defeiKlant after leaving him loaning on the railings. P.S. I should have explained. I had an appointment to keep, but I was back again a.t four o'clock thc<u.g>h it was ton or fifteen tnimutos after three when I lasi saw the de- fendant. However, when I did get book he had left. Mr Crabbo: The man will toll you he was (heme at 3.15. Witness: Thai is impossible. The Bcrndh: There was no douibt a,bout the man's condition:1 Witness: Not the sdigfhtyist. lie was in a stupid state of drunikenne«J. T'homas Potciher Green, "bus driver in the employ cl Mr J. Fred. Francis, of the Oolwyn Bav Mews, he saw the defendant at the tirrie in qiuestioni leaning on tihe Promenade 'railings. He seemed to roll about a little as he walked. Mr Lumlcy: ho sober in your opinion? Witnofi;: I dhould not think he was quite. P.S. J'ones Roes: Did you see him again latex in the afternoon? Witneai: Yes, I saw him at the oornter of riiriioe'a- within twenty m.j¡IHt«8 or 00 quarter of an hour. He was standing then. Further questioned, Witnese said it was a ''little after tihree when he first aaw the man, and it was he was returning with his 'bus to Rhos at 3.25 that he saw tiho man fctr the second time. AN AMUSING WTTNEiSS. Jdhn Joues, of Park-road, Oolwyn said he went to the Cayley Arms Hotel, a.bouit 1.30 p.m. on the day referred to, and he found the defendant there. Witness remained till about three p.m., and defendant was there the wthole time. Defendant was drinking, but witTHJ93 oould not 00 sure what amount he drank— pc«=ibly two or three glasses of whiskey. P.S. Jones Reee: Do you remember vvlhat I said to the landlord at tho time? Witness: You said something about the man being drunk. Amy thing else?—Indeed I was too fluttered myself to oatdh what you said altogether (laughter). Continuing, Witness said defendant had been sleeping before too sergeant entered the tap- room and he (witnews) had been trying to waken ibim. P.S. Jones Waa tb& defendant drunk or eolbcr ûhefiHo must have been drunk. Bitut was he in your •opinion'—Well he was not sober, to tell the truth (laughter). Mr Lunnley: Did he 'have many drinks to your knowledge? Wirihees: o. eir. He had about two in two hours. The Chairman: What drink was it? Witneas: Wihbkey. Mr Luraiey: He had no 00c.r? Witness: Not to my knowledge. Questioned by the Sergeant, with reference to tihe four empty glafises observed in front of the defendant. Witness said that several other IDN) had been in the taproom before the awrgeant ontorcd, and they had left. The empty glaaJes probably belonged to them. Mr Crabbe: You made a statement to me and Œvø to the police on this matter. W Mr C'nabbe: When I asked you in wihat con- dition. tlhis man was when he left the house did you not say to me: "lIo was not drurik.' Witnieas: No. sir; I says I would not own to it. I says that he was not sober. You asked :100 about his walk, and I says "You nit est not judge a man by hia walk (laugihter). Further quetwioned, Witness said ho had given the defendant 6d to get a couple of drinks, but at that time he was perfectly sober. Mr Crabbe: How maniy glacises did you see the maat drinking? Wicneiss: Well, I did not take no partioular noitice of him. He had been asleep for a. few minutes before the sergeant came in. "NOT THE PLACE." Mr Crabbe: Them you yay you woro too fluttered: to notioe the oonvermation was between the sergeamt and the defendant? Wiiiy were you too fluttered? Were you afraid that you would be in tfue same box as the defendant? Witness (drolly): Well, in a. place like that, eyeing the sergeant walking it it does not look so well (loud laMghter, and ories of "Order"). Mr Crabbe addree;ed the Benah at some Lengtih on bohalf ofrlle defendant. He stated his client fed begun work at six a.m., and, ex- cepting a cup of tea, he had had nothing to eat till he fanocskod off at mid-day. Then, instead of going home for a good dinner, like a wise labourer would do, ho called &t the Cay- ley Arms Hotel and had a drink. The weather jtm fca/proam waa exceedingly warm, and tiboae wcro the factors Viiiioh he (tihe advocate) thought aooomfnted far his clienit's drowsineas. He knew the man had been in trouble before, but the Bcnclh must deal witih that oaae on ita own merits. O'Donmell had served his country in South Africa and the hardships he had suffered tihere had left their effects upon him, because einoe then one or two glasses of liquor would Uipjethim, whereas a dozen wouid not have done so previously. Moreover O'Donmell had walked all the way home without any trouble. O'Doiruiell gave evidence on his own be<haJf bearing out. his advocate's statement. He added that he had had four glasses of whiskey alto- gether in the two hours ho had been at the betel. P.S. Jones Rees; Wihat was your condition when I saw you? Witness: I was not drunk, I wa* not sober (laugfitor). By the Beaiah: He was not surprised whicn. he had the summoinis; in fact he iuul expected it (removed langih.ier). The Bench eventually imposed a fine of 58 and aosts. OHARGE AGArNST THE LICENCEE DIS- MISSED. Mr William Hewitt, lioenoee of the Cayley Arms Hotel, pleaded not guilty to tihe charge of permitting drunkenness, which was next in- vestigated. Mr E. A. Craibbe again defended. Sergeant Reee, in the course of his evidence, said that when aekod Wuietheir O'Donne-U had "been there long, thdclendant, replied, "I don't think he has been here long." On being in-. formed that ho would reported the landlord said: "I a.m sure hi) has had no more than one drink hone." He also said: "I have been very busy turning out Mrs Ballows a.nd two men through the front." By Mr Lumioy: Is this district patrolled often by the police?—Yes, daily and nightly, a.nd Eomettmeis several tunes during the diiy and nigfat. But it does not reoeive the same atten- tion as CoIwyD Bay, I moist admit. By Mr Crabbe: The house- did a. big business on Saturday afternoons. The corner where O'Donmell was sitting was ra.iiher dtark, and tlpe taproom owing to its shape prevented iomo diffi- culty of srupervision to tihe landlord, though none to the poiioe. From tihe ba.r only half of the tapuncom could be seen. But there was also the advantage that the person in dharge of the bar had a good view of every customer entering or leaving. Mr Crabbe; Tiiat is put very clearly, Sergeant. I tlhank you. A STRANGER TO THE DISTRICT. Replying to furtibor qm/eatians by Mr Crabbe, the Sergeant said Mr Hewitt was a stirangjer to the district, having beoern there only a short time, and appeared to be very anxious to conduct the house well. In reply to tihe Justices' Clerk (IMr Amphlett) Mr Crabbe said he did notpate tihe drunkon- IDO: after the decision of the lienoh in the pre- ceding case. John Jones was again called, but assured tbe Bench he couW stiy a groat deal as to wftiat took plaoe in tihe taproom, "beoause I was t., lk- ing to a gentleman" (laughter). In answer to questions from Mr LumLey. John onoe more sot the oc/uit in a roar by re- Lating haw tmø umexj^eoted appearance of the Sergeant upon tho scene made him "all of a flutter." P-C- Martia stated that when the landlord was served with the summons, he said: "It is very hard- I didn't permit ie. L didn't serve 1mm, my wife didn't sarvie him, and my daugh- ter didn't serve him. I was very busy turning out Mrs BuJJowa and two man when the eea-geant came-" POLICE SERGEANT COMPLIMENTED- The Cnairman: We do not tiunk there is a case. Of course, we would like to say that the sergeant did propa.iy in bringing tLoe case be- fore us, and tilat dØ gave his evjaence very ro- perly lllJdøed. I may aJao remind tne deiendant thait as a stranger to tne diist-r.ct lie would do well to bo cano-ul. and I hope he will take that advice.

COLWYN BAY MEN QUARREL. "VERY LITTLE IN THE MATTER." At the Colwyn Bay Petty Sessions on Satur- day, a charg-a of assault was brought by Hum- phrey Morris, joiner, Tabernacle Cottage, against John Jones, Dee Bank, Rhiw Bank Avenue, the date of the alleged offence being January 4th. Mr O. Barnard Lowe (Messrs JNunnand Co.) was for the prosecution, and Mr E. A. Crabbe de- fended. In opening, Mr Lowe said that at half- past. eight on the Saturday evening tlie compiain- ant was standing an the south side of Abergele- road, nearly opposite the Public Hali, in con- Mersation with a man named Wilidam Evans, when the defendant came up and commenced abusing him, remarking that he was "the worst devil on earth," and making various other com- menta of that kind. At the same time Jones shook his fist at the complainant. Mr Lowe (proceeding) stated tfaat- the defen- dant said he had struck better men than the complainant, whom he invited to oome to the back of the houses. He added, "I will strike you if I have to soil the bed from under me! Just then Thomas Owen came up, to whom de- fendant handed his overcoat, apparently with a view to striking the complainant. Jones per- Muaded him from doing anything of the sort. The defendant was under the influence of drink. In regard to the question of motive, he (Mr Lowe) was willing to keep it out, and to let It go by the board. Complainant gave evidence, and said tliat de- fendant oatne up to him and said: "Humphrey Morris, you are tho worst devil on the earth. A devil of a man you are. Two-faced. You ought to have a cap with two peaks. You bad dent." At the same time t.he deiai>dant bad Lis fist with- in two or three inches of witness's face. He (complainant) told him that there were wit- nesset3 present, and that he would be held re- sponsible for what he was saying. His manner was threatening. The defendant was not sober, but under the influence of drink. Ti-ere had been no recent ditierence between them. By Mr Crabb: It is not true to say that we have been "peoonal friends" or "close friends?" It is not true that differences have arisen lately. The justices had & long consultation, but finally decided to go on with the case. William Evans gave corroborative evidence, and said that Morris had done nothing to offend or provoke the defendant.

'DID NOT ACTUALLY STRIKE." Cross-examined: Thomas O. Jones and A b901 Davies end myself are friends. Abel Davie was with Thomas O. Jones at the time. Tne three of ua have taiked about the case since then. They asked me what was the matter, but I would not tell tliem. I have never said that John Jonee didn't do anything, and that he didn't put up his hands at all. I have never saict that there was nothing for Morris to complain about. Jones att-jmptsd to strike Wrris. He did not actuallv strike him. Ur Lumley: If this man wis' ed to strike, there was nothing to prevent him?—He could Y.aio ytruck Morris if he had liked, but he .didn't do it. Mr Crabbe. rising to opew for the defence. said that the facts were very simple. As to tne state of the defendant, he was a most abstemious man. He never went into a public-house, al- though not a total abstainer. He only took a glass of beer in his own house. After further consultation with his colleagues, the Chairman said: Well, I don't think it is any use going on with the case. There is very" little in the matter, and we dismiss the case, each side to pay their own costs. The decision was received by the spectators with subdued applause.

THE ALLEGED SANITATION OF HALKYN. SPECIAL REPORTS OF MEDICAL OFFICERS. The agent to the Duke of Westminster (Mr H. D. Lynes) oomploained to the Holywell Rural District Council of the insanitary condition of the village of Haikyn, near to Halkyn Castle, ani alleged that the plaoe was "reeking with insani- tation," and that the frequency of epidemic sick- ness was due to the squalor of the houses, and the condition, of the people. The complaint was referred to the Medical Officer and the Sanitary Inspector, who made special reports. The Sanitary Inspector detailed the condition of the drainage, end said he could not agree with Mr Lyncs in the statemeint that I Halkyn was more subjoct to infectious diseases. His experienoe was that Halkyn would compare favourably with the surrounding district, and that the plaoj was "reeking with insanitation" TO contrary to fact. He did not consider the fever oases were due to defective drainage, but to cli- matic changes. The death that occurred was the case of a child delicate from birth and sub- ject to sore throat. The houses of Halkyn were as clean and well kept as any in North Wales. With regard to the suggestion of favouritism, he did not make the smallest distinction between the property of the Duke of Westminster and other people. He could not help expressing the opinion that it was a libel upon the residents of the district to allege the houses were "squalid"— they would bear favourable comparison with tho:ø of other districts. He forwarded the cer- tificate of medical officers. Dr. D. Edwards, Mold, said after 32 years' knowledge of Halkyn, he had no hesitation in testifying to the fact that the vast majority of the houses were clean and well kept, and com- pared most favourably with town dwellers of the same class. Dr. J. Humphrey Williams, J.P., Flint, certified in similar terms, also Dr. C. E. Morris, Holywell. The medical officer, Dr. G. Williams, Mold, specially reported upon the drainagte of the vil- lage and the condition of the houses. Drainage work might be extended and connections made. The houses were clean and well kept., and the occupation of the men in mining and quarrying was of itaelf of a cleanly character. The sickness he attributed rather to the epidemic constituents in the air than to the ooridit-ion of schools or houses or sanitary arrangements of the village. It was decided that the report as affecting the schools be referred to the County Education Com- mittee, and forwarded as a reply to the letter of Mr Lynca,

GEIRIONYDD RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL* ROAD REPAIRING. The Rev. J. Cower presided at a moeiing of tie a-bove Council, held on Tuesday, at Llan. rwst. The attendance included Mr J. Lloyd Morris (vice-chairman). Rev. J. Ll. Richards and Mr T. T. Roberto, Dolwyddelen; Messrs D. G. Jones, Maenan; Evan Williams, Capel Cung; E. Roberts, Penmaehno; E. W. Roberts, Cwm; R. R. Owen (clerk), and R. H. Williams (sur. vcyor). TYNRHOS ROAD. Mr D. G. Jones reported that he and Mr R. T. Ellis had as r?qu«stod by t'he Council, in- spected Tyn, which was a continuation of tho road from Treiriw t-o lianrycnwyn v ttlage on to the old cnurch. The Council nad repaired the roid up to tho ci.larcii, but the cxiiei object of inspection was regarding a portion of th* highway near the church and facing south. They found this part in an exceptionally bad state of re]jair, the surface being mcstJv composed of protruding rocks intersected with holes. The other part of the road leading to the churoh was in a. good sta e of repair. The road leading under the troas from Trefriw passed through a very steep incline on the east A wall had been erected there some time ago to safe- guard the -put)lic.. but. this did ,oct entirely meet the case, as a similar wall was required further on at a spot where an akcident might occur at any time, with tiiie result, that the Council mig'ht have to pay compensation. The old Parish Ch'arch at Llanrhyciiwyn was one of the valuable relics of Wales, and it was only right that its approaches should 00 kept with due regard to its traditions. A great number of viaitors annually It ins]>ected the church, 'vho no doubt oxpressed surprise t^at Welshmen s.iould allow the sur- roundings of such a valuable relic of the past to be in such a disgraoofui stato of repair. Thoy felt duty bound to recommend that the naocaeary repair should be undertaken by the Council. The Clerk explained that, the portion of the roadway referred to was only 120 yards in lengtii, and the eotimatod cost of the repair was 30s. The Rev. J. Ll. Richards said he was pre- pared to move that, the Council should under- take the work of repairing, provided it oould be proved that the road belonged to the parish, and that the Council was responsible for its main- tenance. Mr D. G. Jones said it was a continuation of the Trefriw-roiad, which had always been main- the Trefriw-roiad, which had always been main- tained by the Council. Mr J. LI. Richards aeeired to know why Council had hitherto neglected to repair road. The Chairman explained that there were three farmers in the immediate vicinity who had un- dertak-en the work, but lately these farms had been amalgamated. In reply to Mr Richards, the Surveyor stAted that the portion of tne road under discussion was within the jurisdiction of the Council. Mr D. G. Jones having aeoonded Mr Richarda motion, it was unanimously adopted. VITAL STATISTICS. Dr. Fraser-, medical officer of health, reported that five deaths had occurred in the district during the past month, equivalent to & death- rate of 12.0 per 1000 of the population per an. num, as compared with 9.6 for4he oorreeponding period lasc year. There had been eight butht COMPLAINTS ABOUT A ROAD. A T edition was read oalling attention to the oondition of the road leading from Trefriw to Nant Brwynog, which is stated to be almost im- passable in places, being banked with peat and turf. The petitioners maintained that it was really no better than a bog. Mr J. LI. Morris pointed out that the road in its present state was a ecuroo of great inoon- venience to the residents in the district, who had to oonvey their goods along it. The Rev. J. LI. Richards also agreed that the road should be repaired. The Surveyor explained that he had already expended the B17 which had been provided in the estimates in respect of this road. To put it into a proper state of repair would entail an ex* penditure of JB200. It was resolved that the surveyor be allowed to do his beat to keep the road in repair. ADDITIONAL MEMBER FOR TREFRIW. The olerk was instructed to carry out the ne- cessary arrangements for the electaon of Wt ditional councillor for Trefriw.
