CHOIR TRIP.—The annual trip in connection with the Wes eyaa choir took place on Thursday at Llany- mynech. The cjmpany started in two brakes from Welshpool about 1-30, and arrived at the picturesque village a little before three o'clock. The ascent was made up the hill shortly afterwards, and on reaching the top they were amply repaid by the beautiful scenery which met the view. The Breidden bill seemed at its best, while to the south-west peak after peak was seen. After rambling about and enjoying themselves to the full, they prepared to descend, anticipating a good knife and fork tea at the Lion Hotel. Mrs Rooerts, the Hostess, as usual provided an excellent repast, and it is needless to add that the party did justice to the elaborate spread. Before leaving Mr W. J. Davies proposed jI, vote of thanks to the trustees and subscribers, through whose kin"- ness they were permitted to enjoy the outing free oi expense, the Rev W. G. Dawson seconded. The drive home was extremely pleasant, reaching town at ten o'elock. Rdv W. G. Dawson (superintendent) and Mrs Dawson, with the genial conductor, Mr Tom Davies, accompanied the trip.

Owen asked one of the witnesses whether tht: magistrate who had heard the case on the previous occasion, had questioned him outside the Court in reference to his knowledge of the details.
