Thanks be to Cad who giveth us victory through our Lord Jesu-s Christ- Some of us, many of lki. meet each other and exclaim what we have lost. My brethren, such a life as this is never a loss, taut a permanent gain to the Church in out m.i-dst. If you value a great gift to-day, but receive no sueJi gift to- morrow, you do not go about exdaiminy' thai you have suffered a loss, but rather think of the great treasure which you hold, and was given yesterday- You are thankful for the gift which you have jjeceived. Aud so our first duty with regard tOTikfi who li-as been removed from us to entar into the joy of his Lord, our fir.^t and pemiament, duty, is that of gratitude- The Church at Llajidiuino will bo permanently richer ior his life, his work, Ihiis liope, and his faith. And what else as tegards you ?

Ha commenced in his early years his work in the service of the Church and to the very end, his great concern was how the work of the Church could be extended and more effectively carried on. The work of Church extension, which we lave und-ertakeii in this parish, an extension of the u I C hurch in which we are now worshipping, and the building of another church, which is becom- ing' increasingly needed, weie the matters to the furtherance of which he devoted his best thought during tihe latter months and weeks of his fruitful life- And as we consider the call based on what I trust is tne many revelations descending on his victorious life, we are sus- tained by the great IiiOfiefulness i-,Iltrich the Ohurch 'teaches us on this day. "lIe has ascend- ed uip on, high- He has received gifts for men." The great promise to which the icind of the Ohwrch today is surely to us a g'round of hope- The promises of tihe great head of the Church are not exhausted. The continual merciful gifts whioh are promised from on high is our consola- tion au-d our hope- The great power is inex- haustible, the gitts of Pentecost, for which we pray have not spent tiheir force, and as God in the early Church out of many calamities and losses continually raised new servants to con- tinue his work, so we, if we are true to our Church and believe in the promises of which her career in the world is a perpetual testimony that theiy are made good—we also to-day as we do looking upwards, may by God's love took to the future with confidence and with hope. On Sunday evening' the Rector made similar references at the Welsh service in St. George's Parish Church. b. THE FUNERAL.

LLANRWST BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
LLANRWST BOARD OF GUARDIANS. Mr John Roberts, J.P., presided at the monthly meeting of the above Board on Tuesday- The fotlowin.g members were also present: Messrs D. G. Jones (vioe-chairma-n), John Hughes, W. Wil- liams. John Davies (Bryniog), J. Berry, W. _G. Jones, Owen Evans, John Davies (Gwythe-rin), David' Lewis, Isaac Hughes, Thomas T- Roberts, D. Lewis, O. Ll. Jones, K Edwards, David Jones, David Owen, Revs. John Gower, and Henry Jones, together with Messrs R. R. Owen (clerk), T. Hughes (deputy clerk), E. Hughes (master), E- Evans Jones and T. C. Roberts (relieving offi- cem). OUT-DOOR RELIEF. The Clerk reported that JB176 9s 8d had been expended in out-door relief during the past month to 275 paupers, being a decrease of 33 in the number of paupers and E10 17s 8d in relief. Cheques for JE72 and £ 106 were drawn out to cover the expenses of the ensuing month. THE RELIEF LISTS. Tho Rev- Hienry Jones, in accordance with notice, proposed "That in future the Board, in order to adequately examine the out-relief lists, resolve into two committees and submit all re- commendations relative to new applicants for relief to the whole Board." Ho argued that the members were all busy men, and especially so on market days, therefore it was essential to adopt a system which would relieve them of the cumber- some method now observed. They had their •duty to the poor and the ratepayers, and they oouid not possibly do better than for the men who were intimately conversant with the cases to investigate them, and recommend to the wholo board what the committee felt would meet eoch case. Ii) this manner much of the members' valuable time would be saved. Thi? Rev- J. Gower, in seconding th. motion, remarked that the system would undoubtedly lessen their work without deteriorating from its value, and lie hoped it woukrl be adopted- Mr IJ. Lewis moved an amendment, that the matter be adjourned for a month bo enable the membeas lo consider it thoroughly- Mr John Davies (Bryniog) thought that. if the system wa.s adopted it might unconsciously lead to mambors fooling inoro charitable towards appli- cants from their own pariah. Mr W. G. Jones seconded the amendment. Tho Clerk, in reply to Mr Davies, said favouritism could not Very well creep in as every new case would have -to be submitted for the consideration of the whole Roa.rd. At the suggestion of the Chairman the matter waa adjourned for & month to enable the mover to prepare details fttf feWe. sys6em far tbe oonaid- eraiion of the BOACC16
CONWAY COUNTY COURT.
CONWAY COUNTY COURT. A PENSIONER'S FATAL ACCIDENT. DEGANWY BUILDER'S UNSUCCESSFUL DEFENCE. His Honour Judge Moss presided over this court to-day week. Lvdia. Jones, widow of Ellis Jones, an old-age pensioner, lately of Penytelin, liendre-road, Con- way, brought aJl action under the Compensation Act against Hugh Jones, of the Black Lion Inn, Conway, 'licensed victualler and farmer, for the recovery of £ 15C on account of the death of her husband on June 17t.h last- Mr Gordon Hew art (ins-h'iioted by Messrs Porter, Amphk-tt and Jones), stated that the deceased had been in the respondent's employ from time to time for SOUK; <car::c:, and on January 11th, while he was engaged trimming and cutt.ing' hedges on respondent's farm, Cae- hclyg, a bill-hook, which he it-ed in his work slipped and inflicted a severe incised wound on his left ieg. Dr. Morris Jones was summoned and he made three stitches in the wound. The patient appeared to be progressing well for some little time, but failed to recover from the after effects, death taking place on January 17th. The applicant, Lydia Jones, said the deceased had been employed by the defendant on the day of the aecidcnt, by an agreement entered into bctwûen the defendant personally and the. de- L ceased. Prior to the accident he had enjoyed very g'ú\>l] health; in fact he 'had been attended by a doctor only three times in 36 )<OO.rs. When he came home about noon his leg was bleeding profusely from a wound in the knee which he told her had been caused by a. bill hook slipping on the limb while he was cutting a stick in the hedge Deceased had been previously employed by the defendant from time to time- On the first day after her husband died Hugh Jones paid her 10s and' subsequently :g:a YO her L5. In reply to a letter sent by her some time afterwards seeking compensation, Hugh Jones called and asked her liot ;v much she wanted, to which she replied £ tQ-" Mrs Jones eventually called and asked witness to settle the matter, but the ca! e was then in the hands of her solicitors. At pre- sent site had nothing to maintain herself except what she could earn by washing, and alio was 63 years of age. At this stage his Honour suggested that the parties should discuss matters with a view to an amicable settlement. So fa.r as lie could see it wa.s purely a matter of amount. Mr Gordon lievvart assented, but after consul- tation. with the defendant's representative, Mr R- A. Griffith intimated that his client preferred to "fight it out and leave it to your honour." He had a good defence. Cross-examined by Mr R. A. Griffith, witness said her husband never told Hugh Jones, when he called after the accident that "it was no fault of yours Mr JonEs." Dr. J. Morris Jones described the deceased's oondition when he was called, and the subse- quent progress of the patient. Dr. M. J. Morgan gave corroborative evidence as to the cause of death. W. E. Price, Conway, gave evidence as to statements made at the inquest held on the de- ceased. Mr R. A. Griffith, on behalf of the respondent, contended that no evidence had been given prov- ing that the accident had arisen out of employ- ment for which the deceased had been engaged by Mr Hugh Jones. Continuing, Counsel said that as a matter of fact, when the accidcnt hap- pened, the deceased had been trespassing on Mr Elias Davies' land, which adjoined that of the respondent, where he had been cutting poles, which he had not been instructed to cut, and for which Mr Davies had given the man no per- mission. Under the circumstances he maintain- ed that respondent could not be held responsible for anything that happened to the man. Further, he thought that to claim JE150 for the death of a man aged 75 years was unreason- able. The Judge: Unfortunately, the Act of Parlia- ment makes no difference between a man aged 75 and another aged 30 in a matter of this kind. Hugh Jones, the respondent, said deceased had undertaken to complete the job he was on for 5s. He had not as a matter of fact done any of his proper work, but. deceased had apparently out five poles in Mr Elias Davies' field. He had had no instructions to do that, because the poles were useless so far as witness was concerned. He went to see the deceased after the accident, and Ellis Jones said witness could not. help the acci- dent, and when he (witness) asked him what he wanted with the poles, deceased gave no satis- factory answer. He made an offer to the plain- tiff of £ 20 without prejudice, to he!p her tide over the troubles. Cross-examined Witness said that when plain- tiff wrote him requesting payment by way of compensaf ion, witness did not write telling her about the pole-cutting, nor had a statement con- cerning that matter been committed to writing at any time. Elias Davies, of Farmyard, said he saw the deceased on his field "cutting something" before the accident happened, but he had not given the man permission to do so. His Hopour, in giving judgment, said he had no doubt at all in his own mind as to how the accident, happened; that it had occurred in the course of his employment, and that it had re- sulted in the man's death. However, the plain- tiff had admitted that she had been only parti- ally dependent upon the deceased- Under the circumstances, he awarded plaintiff E55, less the L5 previously given by tLe respondent to the plaititiff-210 to be paid now, and the balance to be invested in the usual way, and paid out at the rate of JE2 per month; costs on Scale C to apply. A DEGANWY BUILDER'S AGREEMENT. John Courteney, clerk and builder's assistant, of Deganwy, sued Arthur Hill, builder and brickmaker, of Deganwy and Llandudno Junc- tion, for the recovery of E53 14s 9d, said to be due by way of commission, etc. Mr Gordon Hewart (instructed by Messrs Porter, Amphlett and Jones) was for the plaintiff, and Mr Joseph Lloyd, Rhyl, for the defendant. Plaintiff's evidence was to the effect that from August, 1904, to March, 1906, he had been prac- tically altogether engaged by the defendant in various capacities. He was then discharged in oonsequence of an accident received, but defen- dant gave him a "reference." In June, 1906, he was re-engaged, and had since worked off and on under the defendant, his duties being to look after building -operations, time-keeping, collect- ing rents, and paying wages. At one period he had not been in regular employment, and during that time he was paid 6d an hour by defendant. Early in September last there was a large accu- mulation of bricks, between 200,000 and 300,000, at the defendant's works. An agreement was then drawn up whereby plaintiff was to be en- gaged at a salary of 15s per week with 2 per cent. commission on the sale of the bricks which defendant was anxious to dispose of, his work to be only in the office- That, however, was torn up and burned in the defendant's presence in the office. Later in the day, when a second agreement was executed, providing that plain- tiff's work would be seeking orders for bricks, collecting rents, and paying wages, the hours time-keeping, overlooking building operations, to be from 7 a.m. till any time the defendant chose to dismiss him. He sold all the bricks in the yard, but had never received a penny of the 2 per cent. commission due on the account. Counsel put in the agreement referred to. Witness, proceeding, said he went on working on the terms of the agreement from September last year till March of this year. From the defendant's sale-book sales of bricks had been effected during that period amounting to E613 14s 5d, which showed that JM6 Os 7d were due la commission. In reply to his Honour, Mr Joseph Lloyd said the amount of the oommission due was admit- ted, but his client's contention waa that the plaintiff was responsible for E17 colleoted in rents, etc., for which no explanation had been given. Witness added that when he requested a set- tlement of the commission account defendant said, "Go to •" While witness was ill an in- surance company paid a claim of 30s to Mr Hill for his (witness') illness. Defendant offered him El of that, but witness declined to accept it be cause he felt he was entitled to the full amount, inasmuch as the claim had been merely made' by Mr Hill on his behalf. He left on March 10th, but had received no wages for the period between March 6th and that date. One day in March defendant saw him in a shop, and said that if he did not consider his (witness') wife and children lie would give him in charge for for- gery and embezzlement. Witness replied that he need not consider his wife and family in any way, and that he could give him in charge there and then- Witness added that lie was prepared to show by the defendant's own books that he had paid all moneys received by him on account of rents, except in a few instances where the money had been handed over to Mr Hill per- sonally, but for which he had not had a receipt. His Honour (to Mr Lloyd): Do you say this document (the agreement) is a forgery? Mr Lloyd: Yes, that is my ch'ent's contention- Cross-examined by Mr Lloyd with reference to the agreement, witness said there were three bottles of different inks on the desk in the de- fendant's office when the agreement was pro- pared; hence the difference in the ink with which tho agreement had been made out. Air Llovd called attention to a. certain line in the document, and said: Would you be sur- prised to know that no document was written on that date in that ink? Witness (emphatically): I would.

Plaintiff: No- Do you notice t.he signature of Mr r-ur on the agreement is in copying ink?—He had his fountain pen, and I don't know whether he kept copying ink in thai. His Honour il)orusing the agreement): The acceptance is in copying ink, but I should not have said the other was- Mr Lloyd (to witness): You copied letters for Mr Hill in the copying-book; why did you not give him a copy of tha-t agreement or copy it into th copying-book?—Witness: Because- I gave him an aooeptanoe, and he knew it was ttot -necessary for me to give a copy. Further questioned, witness said that though defendant allowed him to pay himself his or. 4IMRIR ajJary evea week be would NOT aiW him to draw out the commission. I asked him, said witness, and he said. "Wait a bit," and I have been waiting ever since" (laughter). Witness was cross-examined as to specific items of money collected alleged to have beon unac- counted for by plaintiff. Mr Hewart (to Mr Lloyd): As a matter of fact, at least. fifteen out of the twenty-four items you allege are unaccounted for have been al- ready traced by us in the defendant's books- Arthur Hill, the defendant, gave evidence. He denied that two agreements had been made as stated by the plaintiff, and also that tho one now put forward was a genuine one. There had been only one bottle of ink in the office at the time the document he signed had been pre- pared, whereas that produced showed that more than one ink had been used. He had been in the habit of leaving in the office sheets of paper with merely his signature upon them. so that his clerk could write letters ü;, Miem in his absence, and he suggested that use had been made of one of those sheets to prepare the agreement now produced. Additional evidence for the defence was given by John Hail Noble and A. C. Joneo, both em- ployed by the defendant- His Honour g.ave judgment for the plaintiff for B55 14s 9-:1, a question of "set-off" to be referred to the registrar- He thought the agreement had been properly signed and executed, and before he gave consideration to the serious allegation of forgery he would require tho clearest possible evidence of it, and that had not been forthcoming. In the case of John Williams v. Arthur Hill judgment of £ 6 was given by consent-
LLANRWST COUNTY COURT.
LLANRWST COUNTY COURT. A CLAIM BY THE RECTOR OF TREFRIW- AN INTERESTING CASE. This court was held on Friday before His 11 on o u r J lldge Mo s s • SHEEP GRAZING DISPUTE. Edwin Wynne of Tynybryn, Maenan, sued Richard Williams, Blaen Nan-t, Trefriw, for 20s, said to) be for the grazing of 20 sheep for one week. Mr Twigge Ellis anpeared for the defen- dant. The plaintiff said that last October he ag'reed to allow the defendant to graze 20 sheep on his land up to April 1st at 5s each. He had, how- ever, kept the sheep on the land for five days longer that the period specified under the. agreement- Cras-examined by Mr Twigge Ellis: The defendant's son came for the sineep on April 6th, and paid him JE5 bt. cheque for their keep. His wife had writ-ten to the defendant to take the sheep away on April 1st, but he did not do so. Jane Wynne gave corroborative evidence- Richard Williams, the defendant, said he owned a la.rg-c number of sheep and agreed with the plaintiff to graze 20 of them on his land at 5s each up to April 6th, tihe same as he always did with other farmers- The sheep were taken to plaintiff's farm in November and taken away on April 6th. They had been there for five months, not six months, according to the agreement. He had dealt in dheep fo.r over 40 years and grazed about 250 sheep on different farms annually, and had never seen a farmer object- to their removal on April 6th befcrc- He never received a letter from plaintiff to remove the sheep on April 1st" but he met him at Llanrwst when he made a re- quest to that effect, witness reminding him then that he had agreed to allow the sheep to graze until April 6th. His Honour Did he ask you to pay for the cxhra time. Witness: No, my son paid him. Robert II. Williams, the defendant's son, gave further evidence. His Honour: Why did you ask the plaintiff whether the sheep would bo -alio,wed to .sta there until April 6th ? Witness: Because it was tihe first time we had sheer) on the farm and I wished to satisfy myself. Continuing, the witness said: After I paid him the £ 5 he asked for payment for the extra time His Honour: Oh, he did refer to it then Thomas Davies, Tynffrith Farm, and Riohaid Owen, Farm Yard, also gave evidence. Hie Honour gave for the plaintiff for 5s. ACTION BY THE RECTOR OF TREFRIW. The Rev- John Gower, rector of Trefriw, sued Catherine Davies of lsydon, Trefriw, for JE66 3s, described as money lent, interest and arrears of rent. Mr R. A. Griffith (instructed by Mr A. Llot d Griffith) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Twigge Ellis for the defendant. Plaintiff said he was the owner of "Brynyr- odyn," Trefriw- Defendant called upon him in June, 1893, and asked him to let the house to her- He did so at £ 14 per annum. The •husband's name, Owen Davies, was entered in the rent book, Davies being in witness' employ at a wage of 30s a week. The rent was paid monthly until March 24,h, 1906, when they re- movede to another of his houses—lsydon. From the beginning they paid their rent 'very regu- larly. On the 24th April, 1904, they owed -241, while the balance due at proswut was jE57 3s. In 1893 witness sold the defendants' hus- band's furniture to the amount of J624. Owen Davies had no money at, the time and gave a promissory note for £ 24 at an interest of 24s per annum. The note was renewed on 1st January, 1905. The interest was pa.id up to 1905 and the sum now due was JE5. His sister received the interest up to 1903. Owen Davies died on November 2nd, 1907. Mrs Davies then left the house and took the furniture with her. Witness had been informed that she was paying JB20 a year rent for her present house- She left lsydon on May 14th, last. Cross-examined li, Mr Twigge Ellis: Owen Davies had been in his employ from 30 to 35 years- He claimed rent for Brymrodyn which he let to Mrs Davies, but the name of Owan Davies appeared on the rent book. He always under- stood that man and wife were one (laughter). Owen Davies did not utter a word when his wife spoke to witness relative to the rentin- of Bryn- rodyn as he da-red not do so (laughter). She did all the business. Mr Eliis: Did Mrs Davies not tell you that she did not owe you this «ioney ? Witness: Yes, after she had a talk with you. Mr Ellis: That is a very unfair statement, Mr Gower. Witness: And you are pressing unfair questions- How did you receive the Tent?-She usually stent her children and many others do. Owen Da vies removed from Brynrodyn on March 27th, 1906, to "Isydon." Both were JJresent when Mrs Davies took "lsydon." You persist. in stating that Mrs Davies took the house?—'Can't I tell the truth? I am not suggesting th&t you are not. I should not like to cast such, a reflection on a clerk in holy orders.—Well, I let "lsydon" to Mrs Davies and she paid all the rent. Mr Ellis (handing- a book to witness). Is this the rent book ? Mr Gower (throwing the book on the solici- tors' table)- It is not, in my handwriting- It was done up gy my collector, M.r James, but he entered what, they said and not wiiat I said. I don't want a sermoii.-I can quite appreciate that Iaot. Continuing, witness said that Mrs Davies since 1906 had paid every penny due and he had said so several times over- He issued a writ aga-inst her after her husband's death. Mr Ellis: Since when do you lend money?— I do lend money, but I get xuo interest or prin- cipal back. Mr Ellis (referring to the promissory note held in his hand): Do you; lend money oil Sundays This proisseory note is dated January 1st, 1905, which was a Sunday- Witness Is it in my writing? It is by your solicitor—I do lend money on Sunday. A man came to me the other day on a Sunday as he was starving and I gave him 10s. My Saviour did good deeds on Sundays- His Honour But youi might have drawn out the promissory note on Monday. Mr Ellis: Who signed the promissory note? Mr Gower: It is in your hands- You Had better look. His Honour: You had better reply. Mr Gower: It is signed by Owen Davies, but Mrs Davies guaranteed payment- Mr Ellis Where is your proof ? Mr Gower: My own word air, on oath. Con- tinuing, the witness said Owen Davies at his death owed him L66 3s. lie took intorest in Owen Davies as he was a gtiod workman and he would keep him again if he had been alive. Mr Ellis Did you insure his life ? iNLr Goiver: What has that to do with the ca.se ? His Honour: You had better reply. Mr Gowex Yes, I did- Mr Ellis: How much did you get? Mr Gower: £100; but w-bat does it matter"? Mr Ellis: Simply this—that if you do not get another .penny piece you stili will gain by the transaction- Mr Gower: What if he had lived for another 20 years? Anne Williams, wife of Dr. Williams, PLas (;ooh,' Trefriw, said she remembered Mrs Davies taking. Brynrodyn off Mr Gower. There were several others present at the time including1 the late Owen Davies- She a ho bargained for the furniture which^ Mr G-ower sold for JB24. Owen Davies did not" partioipate in the bargain. The defendant said her husband died November 1907, and only left the furniture. During the last 18 years she luad bought other furniture and she had seven children to rear. Her husband left no property behind and she had received no part of the insurance money. She pa.id Mr Gower jp4 109 for the coffin, Ml.J i62 125 for ethos- expenses attached to the interment- She only once received money from Mr Gower, being a la subscription towards her husband's hospital ex- penses. Mr Ellis: You ought to have framed it (laughter}- Witness: I paid 24 10s and J34 last June and JouJy to my brother-in-law for money lent by him- Cross-examined by Mr R. A. Griffith Her laie husband was employed in Mr Gower's saw- mills and received 208 a week- The wages wp-pe in-omazed to 25s, but Mr Gower raised the rent at- tllie same time (langhter). Sho kept lodigers and hod bought a lot of furniture .apart from that sold Mr GOTW. Edward Da vies, builder, Oalsyyn Bay, said ho mi the late Owea l>»via»' brother, who, when ill, borrowed altogether J68 108 from witness- This Mrs Davies had repay ed. Mr W. G. Jones, auctioneer, Llanrwst, valued Mrs Davios' furniture at £ 13 16s tyd. His Honour gave judgment for the defendant with costs. THE RHOSFAWR PARTNERSHIP CASE AGAIN. This case, which has been before the court on several pre-vious occasions, was referred to. Mr R O. Daviee appeared for the plaintiff, Wm- Williams, and Mr Twigge Ellis for the defendant, Llewelyn Roberts, of Rhosfawr. At the previous court his Honour had given judgment in favour cf the plaintiff for £ 253 4s 5d and coats a.gainst the defendant personally, where- urion it was stated the defendant had made him- self bankrupt. Mr Llewelyn Hugh Jones, the official receiver, representing other creditors, stated he appeared on behalf of the owner of the farm, who claimed £ 18 for rent up to the termination of the partner- ship between the plaintiff and defendant, and on hoha'.f of Messrs Blackwall, Hayes- and Co., to whom the partnership owed about- 2.60. Mr U. O. Davies: In what capacity docs Mr Jones appear here to-day? Mr LI- Hugh Jones I am here to represent the other creditors, a.nd see that they have fair- play, and that the plaintiff does not have an un- due advantage over them though the judgment given at the last court. His Honour: I have givon my judgment pub- licly in court, and I have no power to alter it. Mr R. 0- Davies: Quite so. I apply for special costs for preparing the case for the first court. His Honour: I am granting your application. How much money has been paid into the ccurt. after the judgment at the last court? Mr R. 0. Davies: I understand that nothing has been paid in since. I apply that the money be paid at once, as they are required for a special purpose. His Honour: The money must be paid into court- without delav. ACTION AGAINST A BROTHER-IN-LAW- Mary Jane Williams, of Eghvysbach, claimed 1:43 18s 2d from Edward Jones. Ty'ntwll, Eglwys- bach, said to be on account of money lent, in- terest, goods sold and services rendered. Ed- ward Jones counter-claimed £ 46 12s 6d. Mr Twigge Ellis appeared for the plaintiff, and explained that a promissory note for £ 30 had heün signed, but. it was alleged by the defendant that. the plaintiff owed the defendant £10 15;; at. the time. He never referred to that debt at the tlime the note passed between them. He, there- I?110' fonten<lod (hat that was merely an after- thought in consequence of the plaintiff's action- M:l' O. Isgoed Jones, J.P.. stated he drew out the promissory note- and that, the late Mr Evans, his partner, had signed as witness to the defen- dants signature- Plaintiff said her husband was an inmate of an asyium. He drew the money out of the bank tor the purpose of lending it to t.he defendant but, he received no interest on it. She did not owe defendant anything at the time. She sold V-Ln 1 fi n" H at Bowlyn Ucha, and "hen he left there for Ty ntwll sh* assisted him at, his house. His saster was ill at the t:me- n„ f '0Ur action to the fact that the ?iarties were relations, and .said it was a pity thev had brought the case into the court. IIo sug- gested an amicable settlement. M^Fll^n rf hiVijg oonsuIf.c,d on the matter, Vo-I LJlj« *aid lie had accepted a settlement- f~r drawn counter-claim being with- His Honour gave judgment accordingly.
LLANDUDNO PETTY SESSIONS.
LLANDUDNO PETTY SESSIONS. THE USE OF SPURS. ST. ASAril RIDER FINED. These sessions were held on Monday, before Dr. Dalton (in the chair), Dr- R Priehard mn^Jc]t^k J( Rain-: Ilium*. The Chief Constable (Colonel Ruck) also occupied a seat on the bench. \f T? To A,N,SF^il 0F LICENCES. Srs as SkHotel from "»«« Deputy Chief Constable Rees said he had no objection to the applicant, but as the Bench knew Mr Roberts was a licence-holder in another part ot the town, which, however, was no le-al objection. ° Mr Chamberlain said that as it was too late in the season to find a permanent tenant, the hotel had been let to Mr Roberts. The application was made on behalf of Mr Roberts, but the house was in charge of an experienced man- ageress. If the Bench would prefer it, the licence might be made out in her name. The Chairman: There is the difficulty of the two licences. Mr Chamberlain Then I ask for it in th& name of Miss Daisy Bailey. The Chairman: That will be more satisfactory. Mr H. C, rqckatt was then called, and produced plans of intended alterations at the hotel, which 10 were sanctioned and the the licence transferred. The licence of the Roval Oak Hotel was transferred from Miss M. E. Thomas to Ellis Greenwood, of Leeds. DRUNKENNESS. The following were fined for drunkc-nness-- Frank Cook, la and costs; Robert Hughes, Great Orme, Is and costs; Evan Jones, Mostyn-street, 2.s 6d and costs. A warrant was granted for the arrest of Owen Owen, Back Madoc-street, who did not appear to answer a charge of being drunk and dis- orderly. Noah Edwards was charged with being drunk in the principal street of the town on Saturday. Deputy Chief Constable Rees stated that the man was known to the police in nearly every town in North W dea. as he went, from place to place begging. He would take off his boots and stockings and go about begging in that state. Edwards was fined half-a-crown and costs. CASE STRUCK OUT. Mr A. Conolly, the clerk to the Urban Dis- trict Council, appeared in answer to a summons issued against the District Council by Mr E. E. B<)n, one of their number, for the abatement of a nnisance alleged to be caused by the emission of black smoke from the chimney of the elec- tricity station and destructor. The sum- mons was taken out last month, when Mr Bone applied for an adjournment. Mr Conolly now stated that Mr Bone did not appear, but asked the Bench to dismiss the summons, of course subject to his right to issue another if he thought it necessary, but Mr Bone was now satisfied that the steps which the Council were taking to obviate any cause for complaint were likely to be successful. The case was therefore struck out. SEQUEL TO MAY-DAY RACES. THE USE OF SPURS. David Hughes, of Ty Ucha, Waen, St. Asaph, was charged with causing cruelty to a horse at the May-Day races by using a spur. Inspector Gibbs, of the R-S.P.C.A., prosecuted, and Mr Joseph Lloyd, Rhyl, appeared for the defence. Inspector Gibbs said he was present at the May-Day races on May 4th. One of the races was for the May-Day Plate, in which three horses started, namely, tho defendant's bay mare, about 14-1 hands, and two other horses. After the first round one horse fell out, and that left the defendant's bay mare, and Mr Roberts's black mare. The defendant, it was aUeged, dug his spurs into the mare unmercifully. When lie pulled up at the winning-post the witness saw blood on both the animal's sides. The defend- ant's spurs were covered with blood, and there was blood on the grass. The witness told Hughes who he was, and that ho had seen him cruelly spurring the mare. Hughes said, "I have a right to spur when I a.m racing." Gibbs replied, "Indeed you have not. You are not allowed to punish the animal like this." When asked for his name and address, Hughes replied that it was on the card, but eventually, after a lot of trouble, he gave it. Cross-examined by Mr Lloyd: He did not object to the use of spurs if they are used pro- perly. He thought the presence of blood de- noted pain. P.C. Lewis stated that he noticed the animal bleeding, and there was also blood on the spurs. Mr Lloyd. in his speech for the defence, said the defendant could not be convicted unless it was proved that he had deliberately caused the pain. The mare was well known in Flintshire, and the defendant rode it., and in most races it won. It was kept in FlplendiJ condition, pnd there had never been any complaint. previously. If there had been any cruelty on this occasion it, had been unintentional. The young man had no idea there was any blood until his attention was drawn to it after the race. As to the dictum tha.t wfhere there was bleeding there was pain, Mr 'Lloyd claimed to refute it by gaying that when a man cut himself whilst shaving he did not suffer any pain. It was a great nuisance to cut oneself, but it was not a painful ex- perience. He did not deny that. there was blood, but submitted that it was not up-asual to see blood on a horse in a race. Defendant stated that after the race was over the inspector came to him, and said that the horse was bleeding, but. he (defendant) never saw any biood as he was on the horse's back. and he. knew that he had not dene anything to cause it to bleed. Abel Hughes, father of the defendant, said he was the owner of the horse which was now with- out a mark. The Bench considered the case proved, and fined defendant 4Q.<¡ and costs. CHIMNEY ON FIRE. Ann Jones, Carlton Private Hotel, was fined Is and costs for having- the chimney of her house on fire
