RIOT AT FREE TRADE MEETING. MR LLOYD GEORGE HOWLED DOWN BY SUFFRAGISTS. SEVEN MEN* AND THREE WOMEN EJECTED. Wild scenes took place at the Free Trade taeetmgat Queen'* Hall, last Friday night, at which Mr Lloyd George was the principal speaker. Seven men end three women were ejected. Elaborate precautions had been taken to I(. cludo suffragists, but about 100 women obtained admission, most of them infuriated by the shelv- ing of their Bill in Parliament earlier in the day. The meeting opened calmly. The upper parts Of the hall ware crowded, but there were plenty of vacant seats on the ground floor. The knowledge of the special force of police outside the hall and the burly stewards within, aatisfied every one that the meeting' would be undisturbed. Mr Lloyd George had been speaking about I five minutes when th& fattf words, "What are you going to do about woman's suffrage?" were beard from a woman in the audience. It was like a match set to straw. The entire audience of men flared up with anger and excite- ment. Organist's Effort. Men shouted, and other men tried to shout them :fown: and the stewards did their best to' !D7orshout every one ebo. Hoarse cries of "Out ""jth her!" "Throw her out!" were heard above the din. Then, with all the stops and every j pedal down, tho organist tried to drown the confusion. „ The woman who interrupted was. hustled cut Of the hall. A moment later a stentorian male voice was heard protesting, and Ml head? turned to see Mr Drummond, tho husband of tho militant suff ra- cist standing on a bench shoutings something at Mr Lloyd George. Apparently he waa objecting <0 tho rough. treatment accorded to the former Interrupter. Mr Lloyd George managed to get in a few fcorda hero. He asked the steward* not to inter- tero with Mr Drummosd, who was pensuaded to sit down again. But Mr Drummoad wanted to eay something so very much that he was finally-! borne outside. "No one regrets more than I-a strong, sup- porter of( the female suffrage cAuso,such scones as these," aaro Mr Lloyd George, in a oalm voiée. "I would really ask the ladies in arrt earnest- ness whether they think they Ildvance thoir cause by making themselves & nui..AW,3 to their friends." But the interruptions eontinued. This time A man's voice was heard, and Mr Lloyd George said: "I have no compassion for men. who oomo to great meetings and interrupt." Distasteful Repartee. Bomobody with a repartee that was wholly un- appreciated shouted :"We don't want yours," and tho turmoil began again. The politicians on the platform began to look uneasy and anxious. The only undisturbed person was the organist, who played Wagnerian chords "that set the teeth rattling in the heads. of the audience. Tho gentleman with the gift of repartee was; in response to general desire, thrown out. The next person to interrupt was a man. He wanted to know who paid the taxes. They did pot enlighten him. He left the building with musical noaours. After a brief pause the disorder broko out win. A man tried desperately to make him- 8elf heard, and the organist obliged once more. Stewards fell on the interrupter, and lie, too, Swent tho way of tho reet. The fotlowing are the main points of Mr Lloyd George's speech:- "We have in Free Trade a good cause, but we aiudt not depend too exclusively on the merits *1 our case. We must not assume that it ha3 been won onco and for all. That is not so. We fiave got to fight the battle over again."

BALL AT EATOl4- A BRILLIANT FUNCTION. After an interval of four years her Grace the Duchess of Westminster gave at Eaton on Thursday evening last week, a county ball which in its brilliance was worthy of the best traditions of the House of Grosvenor. The leading families of Cheshire and many in Flintshire, Denbighshire, and Shropshire were honoured with invitations, and the ac- ceptances numbered about 350. The Duke and Duchess entertained a house party, and at several neighbouring county houses there were large parties for the occasion. The magnificent suite of State apartments was thrown open, and a tasteful scheme of floral decoration lent additional charm to the rooms, which ordinarily are beautiful. Their Graces received the guests in the Saloon, which is remarkable for the wonderful pano- ramic pointings by Stacey Marks of Chaucer's Canterbury Pilgrims. In the embellishment of this apartment there was employed .a profusion of choice lilacs, carna- tions, and vases of tulips. A more elaborate floral display was made in the Marble Hall, where palms, spirea confusia, wistaria, aza- lea mollis; laburnum, orchids dindrobriums, calanthes and liliums were effectively ar- ranged. Dancing took place in the large drawing- room, notable for its costly Beauvais and Aubusson tapestry and Louis furniture up- holstered in tapestry. Herr Gottlieb's band were engaged and occupied a recess, which was set oif with palms. The floor was ex- cellent, and for the comfort of the dancers the floral decorations in the room were sim- ple, consisting of palms in the fireplace, with azalea mollis, wistarias, and a few pots of a azalea indica. The library, which is a room of fine proportions, was used as well as the marble hall for sitting out. Hero there were arranged pot plants, azalea indica, blue wistarias, yellow mollis spireas and pyrus floribunda. Similar deco- rations were carried out in the small draw- ing-room. Supper was served in the large dining-room at a number of small tables. The charming adornments in this apartment consisted of pink tulips, caranthes and coe- logues (orchids), with smilax. Dancing commenced at ton o'clock, and during its progress the ball-room presented an enchanting picture in ever-varying colour. The programme consisted chiefly of valses and two-steps. Many beautiful dresses wore worn. Princess gowns were mostly favoured, white aad pink being the prevailing colours. The Duchess of Westminster looked regal in a wonderfully fitted Princess gown of whito lace, with tiny lines of sequins. Her jewellery consisted of an exquisite high dia- mond tiara, with a diamond collar, from the right side of which a diamond spray fell to the corsage, while on tho left side there wa8 a tiny diamond snake. Among the invited guests were the follow- ing Mr and Mrs R. Birch Mr and the Hon. Mrs and Miss Blozard, Mr and Mrs St. John Charlton and the Misses Charlton, Sir Fos- ter Cunliffe, Bart., Mr and Mrs Hasalum (Trefnant), Capt. and Mrs E. Wynne Grif- nth, Lord and Lady Harlech, Col. and Mrs H. R.

ABERGELE PETTY SESSIONS. SMART PUNISHMENT FOR LAMP BREAKING. These Sessions were held on Saturday, be- fore Mr J. Duncan Miller (presiding), Major Hughes, Dr Wolstenholme., Mr Griffiths, and Mr J. Hannah. THE LATE MR W. T. MASON. The Chairman said that before they pro- ceeded with the ordinary business of the court he would like to refer to the loss they had sustained by the death of the late Mr Wt T. Mason. During the past year or two Mr Mason had not been able to attend the Sessions, bub when in hoaltli he had been a most regular attendant. Those who had lis- tened to his remarks from the Bench knew that there was not a more fair-minded or fairer magistrate than the deceased had been, and his death was a loss to that Bench in particular and to the community in general. Mr Griffiths said he wished also to bear testimony to the sincero rectitude with which Mr Mason had discharged his duties. Mr J. Hannah associated himself with the Chairman's remarks. Mr Crabbe, as a former advocate in the court, and now as Magistrates' Clerk, said he had known Mr Mason for many years, and he would like to be associated with the remarks of the Chairman. Mr Amphlett on behalf of the advocates) and Inspector Tippett (on behalf of the police force) also endorsed the remarks of the Chairman. LICENSING BUSINESS. On the application of Mr Featherstone, of the Bee Hotel, an extension of time was granted for the usual St. David's Day din- ner, on Monday. It was stated that an application was to have been made for an off-wine license, but it had been withdrawn. The name of the applicant did not transpire. A FINE FOR POACHING. Peter Williams, of Tow vn. Abergele, was charged by William Owen, Plas Llwyd, with trespassing in pursuit of game on land in the occupation of Mr Isaac Owen, on February 1st. Mr Joseph Lloyd prosecuted. Defendant pleaded guilty to being on the land, but denied that he was searching for game. William Owen, gamekeeper, in the employ of Mr Hughes, of Kinmel. said that on Feb- ruary 1st, he saw the defendant setting snares on Plas JJwyd Farm. He met him as he left the field near the gate, and asked what he had been doing, and what authority he had for setting wires on the land. De- fendant replied that lie had no authority. Witness next asked him what ho had in his pockets, but he declined to show him. Not to be denied, however, he caught hold of the man, opened his two jackets and in an in- side pocket, twisted around an empty spirit bottle, he found a wire. Defendant denied that he was setting snares, and said he went to the field to de- liver a parcel from Rhyl to a carter. He did not go near the place where the snare was found. Witness: I don't think you knew what you were doing; you were too drunk. Defendant was fined 10s and 18s costs. SMART PENALTY FOR LAMP BREAKING. John Jones, 3 Mount Pleasant, Abergele, was charged under the Public Health Act, with having smashed a hurricane lamp, be- longing to the Urban District Council on January 29th. Mr Amphlett prosecuted, and defendant pleaded not guilty. In laying the case before the bench, Mr Amphlett said it was a very serious mat- ter, because the Council had of late suffered greatly from the breaking of lamps and the damaging of trees. The whole of the evi- dence in the case was circumstantial, but the facts were so strong against the defend- ant that he felt sure the bench would have no hesitation in convicting. He asked for a substantial penalty, in order that a stop could be put to the damaging of public pro- perty. He might be able to supply a motive for the defendant's conduct, but he would not go into it other than to suggest that perhaps it was spite. Moses Williams, 8, RhuddJan-road, said that at about 11 o'clock on the night of the 29th of January, he was returning homo. from the Ship Cafe, and when ntjar the Gwindy Hotel, he passed P.O. Davies. A little further on tnere were cortain works being carried out, and two hurricane lamps belonging to the Council were placed there. One was not lighted at the time. He was walking along the footpath by Morris' shop when he heard the breaking of the lamp, and the light went out at once, the lamp being smashed to atoms. He saw the defendant within seven yards of the lamp, and there was no one else about. Defendant was on the roadway, and must have heard the glass smash. but he said nothing, and when wit- ness shouted to P.C. Daviea that the lamp had been smashed, defendant passed him, but kept his face turned away from him. Ho firmly believed that defendant smashed the lamp with a stone,' and ho watched him go round the corner of the street towards his home. A stone was afterwards found on the other side of the lamp from where he saw the defendant, and it had passed through the glass. Cross-examined by defendant: You must have heard the lamp break and also what I said to P.C. Davies, but you did not stop, or take any notice. A lamp like that could not break with the flame, as it was turned down too low. Defendant: How often have I spoken to you since I spoke to you last? (loud laugh- ter). Witness said he could not answer a ques- tion like that—he did not understand it (re- newed laughter). Defendant then referred to some dispute that had taken place between them when there were coming-of-age festivitios at Aber- gele, but witness said that the man with whom lie had had words was now one of his best friends, and he had merely pushed de- fendant away because he interfered. That had nothing to do with the breaking of the lamp. M. R. Jones, surveyor, said he afterwards asked defendant if he broke the lamp and he denied it. P.C. Davies said he was about 50 yards away when the lamp was smashed, and *the only persons about were the defendant and Mr Moses Williams. The latter shouted to him that the lamp was smashed, and they went and examined it. He spoke to the defend- ant a few days afterwards, but lie denied breaking it. Cross-examined by defendant: I cannot see how anyone else other than you could have broken it. It was not turned up too high. The place was left in darkness after the lamp was broken. Defendant was asked if he would give ovi- dence on oath. At first lie said he would not. but afterwards consented, and then said: May I never move if I have broken it. I know nothing about it, but P.C. Davies came to me a few days afterwards and said I had boon doing a nice thing. I thought he referred to tho sanitary work I was doing, and I said" Y os, I have." I said I knew nothing about smashing the lamp. I don't know when it was, as I pass the lamp each night as I go hoi ie. I ought to be in Den- bigh Asylum if I smashed the lamp. Mr Amphlett said he would like to cross- examine the defendant, but the Chairman said the bench had decided to fine defend- ant 30s and 23s 6d costa, or one month's im- prisonment. The Magistrates' Clerk: Will you pay ? Defendant: Yes, but I cannot do it to- day. The Bench allowed defendant seven days in which to find the money. DRUNK. For being drunk at Llanddulas. on Feb. 20th, Robert Thomas, Plas Newydd, Llan- ddulas, was fined 2s 6d and costs.

THE TERRITORIAL ARMY. COL. WYNNE EDWARDS APPOINTED ON ADVISORY COMMITTEE. We are officially informed that it has been decided to form an Advisory Council for the Territorial Force. The Council will sit at the War Office, and Mr Haldane, who, it will be remembered, has undertaken to re- present for the present the Territorial Force upon the Army Council, will himself act as chairman of the Council. The Council is constituted as follows: Vice- chairman, Lieutenant-General W. H. Mac- kinnon. Members, Colonel Sir Robert Cranston, Colonel Dimond (Middlesex volun- teer Rifle Corps), Viscount Esclier Earl Fortescue, General Sir John French, General Sir Ian Hamilton, Colonel Hughes (1st Volunteer Battalion York and Lancaster Regiment), Lord Lucas, Lord Newl.ands, Lieutenant-Colonel Phillips (1st Monmouth- shire R.G.A. Volunteers), the Earl of Scar- borough, Lord Stanley, Sir Frederick Treves, And Colonel Wynne Edwards (1st Volunteer Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers). The Advisory Council which has been formed by the War Office in connection with the Territorial Army, is intended primarily to represent the county associations. Its purview will, therefore, be a wide one. It may be called upon to advise the Secretary of State upon all subjects which affect the associations, though tho intention is rather to consult it upon the larger questions of policy than to load it with masses of detail. It will, of course, have to deal with ques- tions of an administrative or a financial character which may arise out of the routine work of the associations, but, besides these, many military questions will also come be- fore it, inasmuch as associations are closely concerned where questions occur which may in any way affect the men or material of the Territorial Force. There is, in fact, hardly a part of the organisation, training, and administration of the Territorial Force which does not to some extent concern the associations, and upon which therefore, the Council may not be asked for advice. In view of this it has been thought desirable that the Council should contain representa- tives of all who are in any way concerned with the raising, maintenance, or command of the force. Accordingly some of its mem- bers, while belonging to the county associa- tions, are not themselves members of the Territorial Force, and some are representa- tive officers of the Force who are not mem- bers of an association. Expert military opinion is also represented, and the Council includes besides the vice-chairman; the In- spector-General, whose inspection will extend to the Territorial Force, and a general officer commanding-in-chief. We congratu- late Colonel Wynne Edwards of Denbigh upon the honour of being selected to serve on the Council. The gallant Colonel may be regarded as the only representative of the Welsh regiments.

GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES DOUBTED. A LLYSFAEN WIDOW HAS MORE FAITH IN THE BANK. AN AMUSING CASE AT THE CONWAY COUNTY COURT. The action between Sarah Pierce, of the Bodhyfryd Inn, Llysfaen, widow, and Eliza- beth Foulkes, of Craig-y-Don, Llysfaen, also a widow, came up again before his Honour Judge Moss at the Conway County Court on Thursday. From the particulars adduced it appears that Hugh Hughes, the father of the plain- tiff and defendant, by his will, dated April 21st, 1892, devised and bequeathed to his wife, Diana Hughes, during her lifo, all his real and personal estate, and after making sundry devises and bequests in favour of his children, to take effect after the death of his wife, including a direction that the de- fendant was to receive three shillings per week from his personal estate, the testator devised and bequeathed the residue of his real and personal estate to his wife, and ap- Sointed her sole executrix of his will. Mr fughes died on October 22nd,, 1896. and his will was on the following November 26th proved by Mrs Hughes in the Bangor Dis- trict Probate Registry. Diana Hughes died on July 13th, 1898, having by her will, dated January 23rd, 1897, bequeathed all her pro- perty to the plaintiff (Mrs Pierce), and ap- pointed her sole executrix. This will was on October 26th, 1898, proved by Mrs Pierce in the Bangor District Probate Registry. In order to give the defendant (Mrs Foulkes) some security for the future payments of the three shillings per week bequeathed to her by her father's will, Mrs Pierce, by ar- rangement with Mrs Foulkes, places on Oct. 13th, 1899, the sum of t390 with the North and South Wales Bank at Abergele in a deposit account opened in the joint names of the plaintiff and defendant, so that the in- terest accruing due on the deposit should be Utilised for the payment of the weekly pay- ments, and should be drawn out by cheques signed by both of them. This arrangement was acted upon until June 3rd, 1902, since which date the defendant has refused to join with the plaintiff in signing cheques on tho deposited money in the defendant's favour for the weekly payments, and has repudiated the arrangement made between herself and Mrs Pierce, but, notwithstanding such re- pudiation, the defendant has refused to con- cur in a transfer of the deposited money and interest to the separate account of the plain- tiff or otherwise to permit the plaintiff to receive the same. For the purpose of satis- fying the weekly payments, Mrs Pierce has offered her sister to purchase, in the name of the latter and for her benefit, a Govern- ment annuity equivalent in value to the said weekly payments, and at the same timo to pay to the defendant all arrears, upon condition that the defendant shall concur with the plaintiff in a transfer of the de- posited money, and all undrawn interest ac- crued thereon to the separate account of Mrs Pierce at the bank. The plaintiff was willing to abide by her offer, but the defen- dant refused it. and had demanded instead that the plaintiff paid her 2200 as the price of her concurring in such a transfer as sug- gested. The total sum for principal and in- terest standing to the credit of the joint "account on December 31st, 1907, was zC445 18s 7d. -The plaintiff's claim was as follows: (1) A declaration that the defendant, having by her conduct repudiated the above-mentioned arrangement between herself and the plain- tiff, is a trustee for the plaintiff of the said deposited money and the undrawn interest which has accrued due thereon (2) An order against the defendant directing her to con- cur with the plaintiff in effecting a transfer of all moneys now standing to the credit of the joint account aforesaid to the separate account of the plaintiff at the branch bank aforesaid; (3) The cost of this action, "SAFE AS THE BANK." Mr James Porter (Messrs Porter. Amph- lett, and Jones, Conway, Colwyn Bay, and Liaiirwat), who now appeared for theplain- tiff, informed his Honour that Mr Wynne Edwards of Denbigh (who-appeared for the defendant) and himself had discussed mat- ters, and arrived at an understanding; but Mr Edwards' client would not accept the legal view of things put before her by her advocate. Under the circumstances, he sug- gested that the parties should abide by the judgment of the conrt. The defendant had Seculiar ideas. For instance, when ex- udge Sir Horatio Lloyd had asked her some time ago to sign certain cheques she had refused to do so (laughter). His Honour called the defendant, an aged lady, bearing a bundle suspiciously similar to that- which had amused Sir Horatio Lloyd on a previous occasion. Replying to the Judge, she said she had a bank book, and her money was in the bank. She was entitled to 3s per week. His Honour: Well, why not agree to have a Government annuity of 3s per week for the rest of your life P I think that would be best for you. Defendant: The money is in the bank, sir. and I don't like to get it out. It will be quite safe there (laughter). His Honour: Banks are not always safe, you know-not so safe as Government an- nuities. Defendant: I would rather keep it. in the UatJ■' ;4! vou please, sir (renewed la»icrVi+.<«** In reply Mr Wynne Edwards said ho agreed with the facts related by Mr Porter. His Honour: An order is ranted in the terms prayed.

VOLUNTEER PRIZE DIS- TRIBUTION AT FLINT. THE RECTOR AS A RECRUITING OFFICER. At the Town Hall, Flint, to-day week, the distribution of prizes won at the annual shoot- ing competitions of itho Flint Company of the 2nd V.B., R.W.F., took place. There waa a crowded attendance, over which Hon. Colonel Roberta (Chester) presided. The prizes were distributed by Major 0. E. Dyson to over 70 volunteers. Long servioe medals wore presented by Colonel Roberts to Privates J. W. Bellis and T. J. Williams. Major Dyson, responding to a vote of thanks, Bpeaking of the Territorial Army, said it was the wish of tho firm he represented (the United Al- kali Company) to do all that wis possiblo to give the Army scheme a fair chance, and give their employees every opportunity. He wai pleased to hear Mr Alexander, manager of the North Wales Paper Mills, say practically the samo thing. He hoped other employers would do likewise (hear, hear). The Rov. W. LI. Nicholas, Rector of Flint, proposing a voto of thanks to Colonel, Roberts, said there was a groat deal of talk about their preparedness for war and to resist invasion. He held they were no more prepared tha.n they were in 1797, when the English Channel waa guarded by the finest fleet of men that ever put foot Cll d-ocic, but a French cruiaor landed men on the coast of Pembrokeshire. Was there any preparedness then? Nothing beyond a few knives, scythes, and old muskets. They even had to strip the leid from the Chapel of St. David's Cathedral to make bullet's. If 50,000 German troops landed in Leith they would marcn to Derby, like Prince Edward, without meeting with any opposition. Thereforo, he hoped the House of Commons would not grudge this ex- penditure. Money must be lavishly poured out and used rightly for the Territorial Army. lie had been oonnacted with the volunteer movement for 44 years, and he h id been regarded as a sort of "recruiting sergeant." Ho had recruited many for the Army anl Militia and Anglesey Engineers, and wherever he went he kept his eye open for likely recruits. He was now on the look-out for recruits for the Territorial Army, and he hoped the County Council and the inhabi- tants of Flint would get many more recruits for tha Army (hear, hear). Captain Hurbutt seconded the proposition, which was carried. Colonel Robarta, replying, said he hoped the new scheme would be given good, loyal support. He appealed to employers in the county to facilitate the work. Failing success, the next move would be conscription.

THE SCHOOL DISPUTE AT FLINT. TOWN COUNCIL AND TI-IE M'KENNA GRANT. A special mooting of the Flint Town Council was held to-day week, to consider the advisa- bility or otherwiso of forwarding a resolution to the Board of Education with referenoo to tha grant towards the New Council Schools at Flint. :1 The Mayor presided. Councillor Henry Powell proposed that the Council send a resolution to the Board of Edu- c wion. They were all aware the new schools would cost L5500, but tho County Council prac. tically said "We will only givo you something like, JB1755 out of the CZ700 which has been J granted," and the Town Council found that they would have to pay something like £2060. To- wards the school legally the attitude of tha County Council was correct, but morally it was quite wrong. The County Council ware taking an undue advantage of the grant. Councillor E. A. Hughes seconded the rcooln-i tion, but did not agree with the remarks. Ha agreed with sending the application with that view of assisting Flint. He had reason to be.. lieve that if they were unanimous they could get the grant made direct to Flint. i. Councillor Powell held that it was argued that Flint was poor, it would ignore his point that they were entitled to the grant as a matter ofi right. J The Town Clerk: We assume this school is going to cost 25500. The McKenna grant is £2700. The question ia. is the 92700 to ba taken out in the first, instance or is it only af 4 portion of the amount? Our rates tell us we ard not poor-we must keep that fact back. Councillor Jas. Griffiths: Is the amount coming direct to us or to the County Council? The Town Clerk; That is the very point-th.t.t ia the reason this meeting is called. After further discussion, it was decided to leave it in the hands of the Mayor, the Town Clerk, and Dr. J. If. Williams to frame a strong resolution applying for the grant direct, ana to forward it forthwith to the Board of Education.
