The Deputy-Chairman, in his charge to the Grand Jury, congratulated them on the lightness of the Calendar, which contained the names of two prisoners ouly, and these were indicted for COlll- paratively trivial offences. The first was that of Frank Turley, who was charged on two indictments for obtaining small sums of money by false pre- tences. He thought the Grand Jury Mould have no difficulty in finding a true bill in this case. The other prisoner was Richard Eakin, charged with breaking into the refreshment rooms at Welsh- pool. and stealing several bortlcs of liquors and spirits. Having reviewed the evidence, the Deputy- Chainnan dismissed the Grand Jury to their duties. TRIALS OF PRISONERS. FALSE PRETEXCES. Frank Turley, (20), en- gineer, was indicted for obtaining on March 15th last the sum of 2s. 6d. from Thomas Warren, Machynlleth and a second indictment charged him with obtaining the sum of 3s. 7d. from Thos, Evan Jones with intent to defraud. Mr. Colt Wil- liams (instructed by Air. David Evans. Machyn- lleth,) prosecuted, and prisoner, who pleaded guilty, was undefended. He denied having been con- victed at Portsmouth on October 21st last for obtaining a bicycle by false pretences. William Jacob, a warder from Portsmouth Gaol, deposed that on October 21st last prisoner was sentenced to 3 months imprisonment in the town for obtaining a bicvcle by fraud. He was discharged on the 21st December on medical grounds. U itness had no doubt as to. prisoner's identity. A certificate of the conviction was put in. and the jury found that he was the same man. He pleaded for leniency, and said he had already been in gaol two months awaiting trial. He was sentenced to 4 months with hard labour. ACQUITTED. — Richard Eakin. on bail, was indicted for breaking and entering with divers other persons, on the 10th December, 1891. the refreshment rooms in the Smithfield, Welshpool, and stealing certain spirituous liquors therein, the property of William Harry Rudge. Mr. Colt Williams (instructed by Mr. llaJl. of Welshpool.) appeared for the prosecu- non. and Mr. Ellis Jones Griffiths (instructed by Messrs. Williams, Gittins and Taylor.) defended.— Prosecutor, who is the landlord of the Mermaid Inn, Welshpool, said he was proprietor of the refreshment room at the Smithfield, which was onlv used on fair days. It was open on the 7th Decem- bcr. His sister assisted him. After business was over for the night he locked up the place, leaving a quantify of wines and spirits there. He visited the premises again on the 10th December, and everything was then all right. On rhe following morning on going there he found the door had been wrenched open.and the padlock was lying on the floor, while the windows were smashed. He examin- ed the stock and found that 11 bottles of liquor were missing. Charlotte Rudge. sister of the last witness, identified one bortle produced as her brother's property. Mr. Sheriff", living in the Mer- maid passage, Welshpool, said he was in the employ of the Gas Company. He remembered the night of the 10th December, 1891. He was on duty at the works. Prisoner and three other men named Thomas Gardner, John Payne, and Thomas Jones, came into the yard and asked permission to re- main there, which he gave. One of them produced a botth' and gave witness a drink, w hich he accepted. The bottle was passed round. All the men were the worse for drink, and after a time they all went to sleep. Thomas (m'dner, Jabourer, Mount Pleasant. Welshpool, desposed to being in company of the prisoner and other men on the night of the robbery. He saw prisoner break the window of the refreshment room, get inside and hand bottles out ro Thomas Jones. They then came back into the road, with the bottles in their pockets. They gave witupss a hottle containing port wiue, and they drank the contents and broke the bottles. Prisoner afterwards pulled out a pistol and swore that he would blow anyone's brains out that inter- fered with him. Witness was cross-examined with a view to testify his credibility, and admitted that he had been several times convicted. On the night in question he was not sober. Further evidence having been given, Mr. Thomas Davies and Mr. Thomas Powell, who had employed prisoner, gave him a good character. Mr. Griffiths contended that there was not a little of evidence to show that prisoner had anything to do with the robbery. The jury acquitted him, This concluded the busi- ness of the sessions. THE ROYAL WEDDING. After the business had been disposed of, it was decided, on the proposition of the Chairman, sec- onded by the Deputy-Chairman, to send a message of congratulation from the justices present, to the members of the Royal. Family, on the forthcoming marriage of the Duke of York and the Princess Maryv

The Liberals in rhe Boroughs are still having a Ó, pretty quarrel! amongst themselves,, as to the selection of a candidate to do battle for them at the next Election. Meetings are held every week and no result arrived at. The chief feature of them is the personal attacks made bv the different speakers on Their own political friends. Conserva- tives and Unionists can afford to look on and enjoy rhe fun." and it is to be hoped learn therefrom the lesson of rhe importance of unity in their own ranks. I should have thought, however, before entertaining the idea of selecting a candidate, our opponents would, for the credit of their party, have paid the costs incurred in their fruitless attempt to unseat Sir Price Prvce-Jones, M.P.. and not permit the disgrace to attach to them of allow- ing their dupes to be sold up, and also to suffer probably fllrtllPr proceedings. If election petitions are allowed to be got up on the same system in every other constituency as that adopted in the Boroughs, it strikes me Liberal members for Wales might be conspicuous by their absence from the. House of Commons. Indeed I should not be in the least surprised if such were the case after rhe next elections.for in order to put an M. j'. to considerable expense and annoyance, it j seems that all that has to be done is to get three men of straw to sign their names, and give them the re- quired deposit. I am glad to see that the Newtown Local Board are no longer going to be governed by a, clique, for | as regards both the water works and market questions, they have awoke to a sense of dutv. and have finally disposed of the proposals of Mr. Richard Lloyd. I observe, under the Cambridge University in- | telligence, that Captain E. Pryce-Jones has taken his M. A. degree, and Mr. A. W. Pryce-Jones his B.A. The Captain already enjoys a good share of honours, and I trust his younger brother may be equally favoured. In concluding my notes for this week, no one more heartily welcomes the establishment of what I believe will be a real good Unionist paper for this district than WANDERER.

ODDFELLOWS' AXXiVMRSARY AT MONTGOMKRY. The Ark of Friendship Lodge (M. U.), Mont- gomery, held its 52nd Anniversary on Friday. The members assembled at the Club rooms, and the procession, marshalled by Messrs. T. H. George and T. Proctor, started from Prince's street at one o'clock. headed by the handsome banner of the lodge and Avearing their smart regalia; the members marched to the strains of the Band of the 4th Batt. S. W. Borderers, under bandmaster Fred. Owen via Broad street, Kerry street, and Castle street to Church for divine service, Here a most appropriate sermon was preached by the Rector, the Rev. E. W. Brown, who to ok as his text 15th Psalm, 1st verse, Lord, who shall dAvell in TLIAR Tabernacle, or who shall rest on Thy holy hill." He said it was an excellent custom of the lodge on the occasions of their annual festival that they should begin the day by assembling at the house of God, and so returning thanks to him for those many mercies they had received during the past year. H e hoped they Avould always adhere to this custom. He con- gratulated them upon the object Avhieh induced them to band together as a friendly society, viz.: the mutual help and comfort and relief of their fellow members during accident and sickness and old age. From church the procession paraded the toAvn, escorting the Mayor from his residence, the Bankhouse,to the TOAVII hall, Avherc dinner was laid. The catering was entrusted to Mr. and Mrs. H. Griffiths, Crown inn, and the spread they pro- vided elicited the highest commendation. The Mayor (X. W. Fairies-Humphreys, Esq.) presided, and was supported by A. C. ilumphreys-OAven, Esq., Chairman of the County Council; Rev. E. W. Brown; Dr. J. J. Robertson, Club Surgeon; Mr. R. Tomley, P. G., Treasurer; and Mr. J. E. Thistle. The vice chairs were taken by Messrs. T. H. George and P. K. Eaton. Amongst those present Avere Councillor J. Withers, Messrs. E. BridgAvater, P. P. G. M.; the following P. G's of the lodge T. J..L. '1: -<U-)7 '-LY 'L"'1_L_r"T Tomley, G. J. Wroughton, JoL Joncs, T. Proctor, M. Davies, T. S. Davies, S. Davies, Wr. H. Jones, J. Barge, LI. Bamaby, A. Beedles, A. Eaton, X. G., D.Pructor,A.S., T. W. Owen, Buck inn, Bertram Jones, ToAvyn, and a large number of others, the company heing a A'ery large one. After the removal of the cloth, the loyal toasts Avere given by the Clmirlllan, who referred particularly to the approaching marriage of the Duke of York and Princess May. Mr. G. J. Wroughton, in proposing The Bishop and Clergy and Ministers of all Denominations," said the work done by the Bishop of their diocese (Hereford) would give him a good name. The clergy and ministers of other denominations had done their work well; they all had Christianity at heart. Those of them Avho had attended church in the morning listened to a prayer that they did not often hear J,tliat was the prayer for uuity, He hoped the sentiment of that prayer Avould someday be realised, and that all ministers of Avhatever denomination would co-operate more and more. OddfelloAvs, also, had the interest of Christianity at heart, and were it allowable to show strangers their initiarioll ceremony, they would he astonished at the frequent mention of Christian duties. The Rector of Montgomery (the Rev. E. W. Brown), in replying, said it was with Aery great pleasure, but Avith no little diffidence, that he rose to respond to the toast, and he thanked them very sincerely for the enthusiastic way in which they had received it. The Bishop of Hereford had pre- sided over that diocese for oA-er 23 years, and had the love of all classes. This Avas slioAvn last week, Avhen he was made the recipient of a presentation portrait of himself in celebration of having com- pleted 25 years in the diocese. He (the speaker) Avished to ask a responsible person connected with the lodge, what was the meaning of the term He had seen it explained as God's felloAvs, and otherwise as a body consist- ing of men of various trades. He could assure them all that the clergy took a great deal of interest in friendly societies, and he always enquired when A'isiting a sick man if he Avas in a club, and could testify to the comfort derived from such an institu- tion. That was the first occasion on Avhieh he had been there as jRector of Montgomery. He could assure them, as hehadprevionsly said, he AA'ould tIT his best, as God him health and strength, to do his duty ss AVCII as he could, and he could only hope tnat the cordial relationship which had hither- to existed between the Rectors of Montgomery and nonconformists and churchpeople alike Avould be maintained. (Applause). Mr. Humphreys-Owen, in proposing the toast of The Manchester Unity, Boards of Directors, and Montgomery District," said he came fresh from hearing the interesting and valuable evidence Avhieh had been given by their able actuary, Mr. Watson, before the Aged Poor Commission. He was able to sav that there Avas a remarkable unanimity of opinion amongst the able and distinguished men Avith Avhom he Avas associated on the commission, as to the Aalue and excellence of Mr. Watson's evidence. It Avas no Avonder that, possessing such officers as Mr. Watson, the Mattchester Unity shollld holdthe proud place Avhieh it di(L amongst the great affiliated orders of this country. He noted from the report presented to the last A.M.C. that I ho membership reached the magnificent total of 709,403, and the funds amounted to no less than £7,844,462. What made these figures still more striking was the fact that this growth was the work f the Avorking and middle classes of the country. The Order had raised itself from being mereh'* an association primarily for good fellow- ship, and afterwards for good Avorks, into what it was now, a vast machinery to proA'ide for sickness, old age, and for death. He found that at a con- ference of Friendly Socities lately held, societies were represented basing a total membership of 2,430,000 members and holding accumulated funds of end these great totals were far from exceeding the number and Avealth of the societies of the county. Such being the case, any inteference by Parliament Avith the great work which those societies are doing, must be undertaken only with the n'ry greatest caution. For his own part his leaning was strongly in favour of encourag- ing by any legitimate private means, these great societies and not attempting to impose upon them any such assistance which would entail State regulations. He had heard Mr. Watson say very triumphantly that he would no be afraid of com- peting with any scheme of Government benefits, after dealing with the recovery of the Order from a financial depression which existed some 20 or 30 years ago. Mr. Humphreys-Owen said, that as it had done that, so also v. as it now proceeding to other fields of enterprise, such as old age pensions, the admission of females into membership, &c. He pointed out also, that every individual lodge in the Unity, no matter how small and scanty its membership was backed up by the immense Avealth of the entire order, and concluded bv saving that he had rhe pleasure of havmy the assurance from their distinguished brother. Mr. Stockhall, that the Montgomery District AV;;S a i riuhr spot in the "'hole area of OddfelloAvship. ( L< ;i<! applause.) Kdmund RridgcAvn'rer. P. P.O.Si., who re- sponded. answered the query p!i,poinded i,-v rhe Rector, by explaining t!.at an Oddfellow was a man who did his duty to God, to his neighbour, and to himself. The Chairman then read inability to attend, from Colonel Harrison and Mr. i he toast of the evening "The Loyal Ark of Friendship Lodge Avas i^'iveii by the Chairman A', no mentioned the esteem in which the C;ul> and its members. it was now twenty five years since he first met them in that room and he could never forget the friendship they extended to him. He was most pleased to hear from Mr. H umphreys-OAven of the good positon of r hc Montgomeryshire Lodge. He noticed that the Avorth of the funds per member in this Sodge was nearly lor the kingdom. Mr. R. Tomley, P, G., treasurer of the lodge, in responding to the toast, said rhat he had been un- able to reply to the enquiry of an interrogator who asked Avhat the ladies tvho Avould be admitted to the Order under the new rules Avonhi be called, as they could not be termed Oddfellows." (Laughter.) To SIICAV the good Avhieh their society did he quoted the figures from the last financial statement, which shewed £272 3s. 2d. paid during besides payments out of the widow and orphan fund. Mr. J' E. 'lhistle, m eulogistic terms, proposed the health of Dr. Robertson, the club surtreon. The toast Avas drunk Avith three; times three," and Dr. Robertson briefly replied. The remaining toasts Avere "The Visitors" proposed by Mr. T. H. Evans, and responded to by Mr. T. W. Owen, and The Host and Hostess," proposed by 31 r. T. 11. George, to Avhieh Mr. Griffiths appropriately replied. The health of "The Chairman, proposed In" Mr. S. Davies, and drunk Avith musical honours," brought the proceedings to a elosp. Aftei'Avards dancing Avas indulged in upon the Bowling Green to the strains of the band, which also played for dancing in the Town Hall lip to the early hours of Saturday morning.

Henry George's principle that all unearned increment should go for the public benefits. Mr. Brodie Hoare moveil the (jmission of the clause, and the amendmeni was seconded by 31r. Kimber. Sir J. Lubbock urged its retention, arguing that au owner whose property was improved by the expen- diture of public money should bear a proportion of the cost. Eventuany the House divided, and the Bill was, by 216 to 118 votes, ordered to be read a third time. Mr. Aclaiid told 3Tr.

Sir U. K. ShuttlcAVorth informed Sir C. Cameron that about 50 ships and about 20 torpedo boats Avould be en- gaged in the forthcoming naval mameuvres. He- plying to Lord G. Hamilton respecting the loss of the Victoria, the Secretary to the Admiralty said they had reason to hope that the number of men drowned Avas considerably less than was at first anticipated.

Sir U. Kay Shuttleworth. ansAvering 31r. A. Forster as to whether a supplementary estimate Avould be voted for the purpose of repairing the loss to the NAA A caused by the sinking of the Victoria* said questions of this nature Avere altogether pre- mature, and that the House might rest assured the Admiralty Avould not neglect its duty in reference to this deplorable occurrence. The Minister of Agriculture informed Sir R. Temple that inquiries Avere being made as to the best possible means of coping Avith the failure of the hay and grass crops as a result of the long drought. 1 he House then Avent into Committee of Supply on the army estimates, when a number of votes Avere, after some discussion, agreed to. In the Commons, on Wednesday, Mr. Gladstone said he was taking- measures to prevent avoidable delay in divisions on the Home Rule Bin.and would, on 1 hursday, move a resolution Avith the object of expediting the progress of that measure. Sub- sequently Mr. MorleA-, on behalf of the Premier, read the draft of the resolution, which provides that the proceedings on clauses 5 to 8 inclusive, shall terminate not later than 10 o'clock on Thurs- day. July 6th on clauses 9 to 26, by the same time on Thursday, July 13; on clauses 27 to 40 by July 20; oil postponed clauses, new clauses, schedules, and preamble, by July 27, and that after the clauses are thus disposed of the chairman shall forthwith report the Bill as amended to the House. Mr. T. W. Russell gaA'e notice of an amendment, Avhieh was received Avith loud Unionist cheers.to the effect that the House declined to sanction a proposal Avhieh directly interfered Avith the free discussion of the measure by the Parliamentary representatiA cs of the people. In committee on the Home Rule Bill the discussion of clause 5, Avhieh deals with the executive poAvers in Ireland, was proceeded with. An amendment moved by Mr. Fisher providing for the exercise of the power of veto by the other chief executive officer for the time being, in the event of the temporary absence of the Lord-Lieutenant, was accepted by the Government, and carried Avith- out a division. Mr. Hanbury next proposed that the Lord-Lieutenant should exercise the powers delegated to him only with the Queen's approval, as signified by a Secretary of State, but after con- siderable discussion this was rejected by a majority of 29.

Messrs. W. L.

Wheat has been more freely offered, and trade has been quiet at unchanged prices. Oats have experienced a quick sale, and haA-e risen 6d. per sack. Flour lias remained unchanged. For offals an improved demand has sprung up, and bran has adA-anced from 7s. 6d. to 10s. per ton. Our market here to day was thinly attended. Wheat changed hands at former quotations.

BAXGOR, MONDAY, lint for the influx of Bethesda 9 quarrymen, who never work upon Bangor fair-flays, it Avould have been difficult to surmise that to-day was the summer or annual clover fair. Above two dozen head of horned stock were brought into the fair, and although prices ruled exceptionally low, very few changed llands, To the horse fair in the afternoon the like remark is applicable, there being a very insignificant SIIOAV of hea\-y stock. Dealers were conspicuous by their absence, o,iiig,doul)tless, to the fair clashing in-ith another tt Carnarvon. NKAVTOAVX SHEEP AXD PIG FAIR, 3IOXDAY. At this fair there was a good supply of sheep.

There was a good supply of store cattle, but no de- mand. Horses sold badly. BRADFORD. AIO-\ I)AY. A better tone was shown in the market to-day, as compared Avith a week or ten days ago. Spinners apparently acted under the im- pression that nothing was to lie gained by keeping longer out of the market, and they Avould do busi- nes readily when old prices were accepted. Quota- tions on the part of staplers showed a slight harden- ing tendency as regards lustre domestic AVOOIS, .and other sorts fully firm, Avith the prospect of remain- ing so for the present. Cross-bred fops sold well at full rates, and in merinos there wasarather better tone. Mohair very firm, though continental prices were not realised here. Alpaca showed no change. In yarns, spinuerswereverybusy on lustre and mohair sorts. Prices of mohair yarns were again ad\ ancing, and spinners Avould produce the material fast enough, in the two-folds Avorsted trade there was rathe- a better feeling, and prices were firm. The stuff trade did not show many signs of im- provement, Business was of a hand-to-mouth character, and prices were unremunerative.
