4>. INTERESTING MARRIAGE AT NEWTOWN. The Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, New town, was the centre of attraction on Thursday morning, on the occasion of the marriage of Mr Robert Jones Griffith, non of Mr Edward Griffith Of Springfield, Dolgelley, to Miss Phoebe Salisbury Jones, eldest daughter of Mr Richard Jones, the well-known manager of the National and Provincial Bank, Newtown. Unusual interest was taken in the pleasing event, on ajcount of the universal respect ILud esteem in which Mr Richard Jones and the whole of his family are held. Mr Jones is a deacon at the Welali Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, and has held that position for some time. The bride has presided at the harmonium at the same chureh for several years, and in other ways has manifested a keen interest in the work of the Church. If the marriage was popular at Newtown, it was equally so at Dolgelley and surrounding distriot, the residence of the bridegroom, who is well-known for his geniality of manner, and his large circle of acquaintances will show the esteem in which they hold him, by a demonstration of welcome on his return, accompanied by his bride, to Dolgelley. Mr Griffiths is a solicitor tractiaing at Dolgelley. His father is a justice of the peace for the county ot Merioneth, He is also a prominent public man, and takee great interest in all the governing bodies in J)olgeUey, and Merioneth, besides which he is an old and respected member of the Calvinistic Methodist Church. Although the ceremony was not fixed to take place until half-past eleven, as early as ten o'clock on- lookers and well-wishers could be seen wending their way to the chapel. So great was the crush that numbers of people had to be refused admission, the body and gallery of the sanctuary being crowded to its utmost limit. Appropriately enough, the chapel has recently undergone renovation, and Thursday was the first occasion on which it had been used after the completion of the work. Added to this Mr Edward Lewis, of London House, had artistically adorned the altar rails and pulpit with flowers and plants, the whole presenting an attractive and gladsome Appearance. The bridal party were conveyed to the Chapel in four carriages, the horses being hand- comely caparisoned, supplied by Mr P. W. Jones, of the Bear's Head Hotel. The nrst to arrive was the bridegroom, accompanied by Dr. John Jones, of Caerffynon, Dolgelley, who performed the daties of beet man. The bride shortly afterwards arrived, and walked up the aisle leaning upon the arm of her father, by whom she WAIl given away. She was attended by three bridesmaids—M ss Mary Jones (sister), Miss Winifred Griffith (sister of the bride. groom), and Miss Myfanwy Jones, of St. George's place, Liverpool (cousin of the bride). The bride looked very prettily attired in a splendid costume— aatia petticoat with ivory brocade bodice and train, trimmed with Irish point lace. She also wore a wreath of orange blosaoms, and a handsome gold diamond and ruby bracelet, gift of the bridegroum and her tulle veil was fastened with a pretty gold pearl brooch, the gift of Mrs Lewis Lewis, of Glanhafreo. In her band she carried a lovely shower bouquet of choice white flowers and white heather, also the gift of the bridegroom. The bridesmaids were all dressed alike-in pretty oostumee of ivory crepon, trimmed jrith buttercup surah and white lace, with dainty picture hate of ivory chip, trimmed with white ostrich feathers and buttercup ribbon to match. v £ »oh wore a gold curb bracelet, and carried beautiful posies of shaded chrysanthemums, with ribbon streamers, both the gifts of the bridegroom. As the bridal party assembled at the altar. Mr G. H. Bell, who efficiently presided at tha harmonium, played Wagner's Bridal Marob." The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Eliae Jones (pastor), and the Bev. Owen Hughes, of Amlwch, Anglesey, and at lie conclusion the harmonium pealed focth the strains of Mandelasolau's Wedding March." On passing Sthe aisle the happy couple were deluged in jwers of rice, and on emerging from the porch a feimilar reception greeted them. The wedding party then adjourned to the residence of the bride's father, where breakfaat was provided. The guests included Mr and Mrs Edward Griffith tfather and mother of the bridegroom), Mr and Mrs J. M. Owen (Craigwen, Carnarvon), Mr J. R. Jones (brother), Miss Jones (Garth Villa, Portmadoc), Dr. John Jones (Caerffynon, Dolgelley), Rev. and Mrs. IStias Jones, and the Rev. Owen Hughes. The chair was taken by Mr B. Jones, with Mr Edward Griffith at the other end of the table. After the repast was ever the Rev Elias Jones proposed the health of the bride and bridegroom. He said he hoped that the brightness of the morning on which they had been joined together was an emblem of what their life would be in the future. Both of them had been brought up in the best of homes, and he trusted that the better qualities of both would be oombined in their new home. If such were the case it would be the model of a happy and blessed home. From his own personal knowledge of the bride he could con- gratulate the bridegroom on the estimable choice he bad made, and he waa sure such a virtuous wife would be a crown to him." He was happy t) have known the family for many years, and he hoped they would keep up their -good name. Both families had been noted for their hospitality, their nationality, and their devotion to their religion. They loved tbeit nation, they were faithful to their religions oon- vietions, and never betrayed either friends, their nation, or their God. He concluded by reading the lonowing:- I B. Jones Gruffydd dydd o deg u. ydyw, felus a deg, Heddyw ir brawd rhoddir bri, A phawb ganmola'i Phoebi; Ein llua gyfaill hwn gafodd I'w go rau anhebgor rodd, A rhodd mo 'r gymwya mae'n rhaid Xu Né ei bun roid amnaid- 11 Dyna hi," ac onid yw hon I* w gwr yn emog goron ?

The bridegroom suitably replied. The health of the bridesmaids was then given, and acknowledged by Dr John Jones in a racy and humourous speech.

LLANFYLLIN,—MONDAY. Before C. R. Jones, Esq. CHARGE OF HOUSE B REAYL ING.-Thomas Bailey, .ua.a hos. Pryefc Davies, and Robert Evans, were charged with breaking into the dwelling house of Mr. Roberts, Ystum Colwyn, on the night of October 6tb. 'Mr E. H. Jones defended Evans.-William Edwards farmxervant at Tatffx2 Colwyn, eaid on the night of October 6th he won tto bed before the other servants. The waff to the bedroom was through the back kitchen and up the stairs. Regenerally hung his watch near his head. He went to sleep, and a little later .on he half awoke. He heard some strange voices, but did not see anjrone. He knew who it was who was in the room. They called him Pxyce, and he was the same maa. as the prisoner Bailey. Pryce lit a match, and a piece of the match fell on is (witness's) lip. He had seen Pryce in the room at night once before, and did not think there were thieves about. Pryce asked if there WXM room to sleep in witness's bed. He replied, No." There was another man with Pryce. He was Robert Evana. He had not seen his watch sinee he hung it np. He did not miss .it when getting up because it was dark. He went up slight after milk- ing and missed the watch. He then went to Tref nan- ney to see Pryce, and asked who was with him in the room the previous night. Pryce said it was Robert Evans. He asked if be aaw anything of the watch, and he replied No. "-Cross-examined { Men who did not belong to the household were in the habit of coming to sleep in the men's rooms at Ystum Colwyn. He did not see Prjco in the room, but he knew he was there by hia voice.-Rowlsad Thomas, another servant ai ?jtam Colw/n, laid be alept in the earn? room as the last witness. He saw Pryce in the room There was another man about, but he did not know who he was. Pryce had slept in the room before. He never saw him coming in the same way as on this night.—P.C. Hughes gave evidence of arresting the two men.—Mr E. H. Jones submitted there was no evidence at all against Evans. The evidence did not show that he was inside the room at all. Both were oommittei to take their trial at the assizes.

Hugh Reessaid on Sept. 8th he found Ellis very drunk in the house. —Cross-examined by Mr Martin Wooanam who de- fended Ellis came down staira unassisted. Witness did not know that Ellis's wife was ill in bed. Ellis was not very tidily dressed, and he looked very much as if he had been in bed. Witness charged him there and then wi h being drunk. He would swear that be (Mr Woosaam) did uot ak him whether he charged him when the case was before the bench last. —P.C. Jone-i saii ha was with P.C. Rees. Reoa went to the back door and in about five minutes Ellis came down stairs half dressed. Defendant was very druuk. -Cross-examined Witness would not pledge his oath, whether Bees specifically charged defendant with being drunk, but Rees said he would Bummon him. It took Eilis five minutes to come down stairs. When he came down witness could not see him corn. iug. Witness did not know that Mrs Ellis was ill. It was eight o'clock.—D.C.C. Crowden said on the Saturday morni< g before the Petty Sessions Ellh came to his house and made a statement and said he was sorry for what had occurred.—Mr Woosnam objected, and asked if it was evidence that could be admitted in the case of drunkenness.—David Evans was then charged by Y.U, Rees with being drunk at the Talbot Inn, on Sept. 8th. The officer said defen dant used bad language, and was very drunk. It wa* about eleven o'c.ock.-Crose-examiued by Mr Wooa- nam Ellis and a woman from Powell's Row were also in the kitchen when he saw defendant there Tne woman was sober. It was quarter to elevei when he went in. He charged defendant with being drunk on licenced premises. There was a half pibt before him on the table, but he did no taste or smell it. Witness requested defendant to leave the house. When defendant came out witness was talking to « man named Whi all. He had not summoned him there that day to corroborate.—Mr Woomam to wit- uesq Why not F-D.C.C. Crowden I thought it un- necessary.—Mr Woosnam said he should have to appeal to their worships not to allow the Deputy Cllief Constable to interlard his examination with those remarks.—Mr D. P. Owen said he thought D.C.C. Crowden was quite right.—Mr Woosnam wa,- sorry they would have to differ on this point. It was so ireely f-ir to his client.-Thomas Ellis was thet. charged with permitting drunkenness on Sept. 8th at the Talbot Inil.-For the defence Mrs Elizabeth Crow. cher said she was the wife of Thomas Crowther, and lived at Powell'road. On September 8th she wiu. charing at Ellis's house. She went about eight o'clock in the morning and left at seven in the even- ing the first time, but came back, at a quarter to nine. When she left she left ,Mrs Ellis in bed. She saw Ellis before she left and he was sober when she re- turned at a quarter to nine he was perfectly sober. She finally left at five minutes to eleven. When Evans came in he did not call for anything. There was no beer served at all in the kitchen when she wis there. It was about 9 30 to 10 when the consta. bles came in anl saw Evans. She was there, and left at 10-65. Evans was quite sober and had nothing to drink in that house that night.—By the Mayor She was in the kitchen all the time the men were there.—Thomas Ellis, landlord of the Talbot Inn, said he remembered P.C. Rees coming on Sept. 8th, when he, Evans, and Mrs Crowther were there. It waa about 9 30 or 10 o'clock. Evans had had nothing to drink, and he and witness were boxing when P.C. Rees came in. Evans followed P.C. Rees out "on his heels.Mr Woosnam said it was admitted that Ellis was capable of coming down an awkward flight of stairs. There was rebutting evidence by the charwoman that Ellis was sober at 7 and at 8-45, and therefore it was not likely that he would be druuk at 8. If he was drunk at 8 he must have got drunk between 7 and 8, and have got eober again between 8 and 8-45. He would ask their worships to believe that the constable had made a mistake, because he had not received a scientific training to enable him to detect drulI kenness. The charge of permitting drunk- e ines3 waa baaed on the theory that Evans was drunk, and he would ask them to believe what Mrs Crowther said, that Evans was sober. If Evans was sobei then the ciae of permitting drunkenness fell through.— After some moments' retirement the Mayor said they would fine him 10:1 and costs with regard to Evans they fined him 10s including costs, and with regard to the charge of permitting drunkenness against Ellis they fined him XI and costs, and endorsed his license. —Mr Woosnam said as there was no evidence of drink being served he contended they could not con- vict uoder the Act.—The Mayor: Then, perhaps, yon wi 1 taku the usual course.—Mr Woosnam: I might advise my client to do so. CHARGE OF ASSULT.-Herbert Milnes, butcher, Severn-street, was charged by James Horton, ostler at the Angel Hotel, with assault on October 2nd.— Mr Maurice Jones defended.—James Horton said on Oct. 2 defendant hit him in the face. He had a wit- ness and he lived at Forden, but he had not time to ] get him as he did not know his address; so he applied fbc an adjournment.—Mr Maurice Jones objected to an adjournment unless defendant's and his witnesses' cost-s were paid.—Complaint, cross-examined, said he saw Milnes at the Angel. Witness did not threaten Milnes with violence. Mr Walters stood between Milnes and himself. He did not jostle Milnsaopposite Mr Harrison's office, nor did he square up to fight until Milnes hit him. Witness did not fight, though there was a cbat between them but it was to stop Milnes. His coat was off because he was at work and Milne's coat was off.—Mr Maurice Jones said that it was only with difficulty that a Mr Walters succeeded in preventing violence being done. Milnes and Horton fought two or thiea rounds. Milnes was going to see some pigs of his when he was assaulted. —Mr Walters said on October 2nd he was at the Angel, and he found Milnes and Horton fighting, and he acted as a buffer.-Cross- examined Milnes did not strike Horton first.-Herbert Milnes, butcher, Sevarn-treet, preferred a cross-summons against Horton for assault.—Mr Maurice Jones appeared for Miloes.-Milnea said Horton jostled him, and witness then went into it finely (laughter).—The Beach dia. miss d both eises.

Jones corroborated, and said that he saw defendant kick the last witness, and he also got kicked himself.— Defendant admitted being drunk, but he denied kick- ing either of the police officers. He asked P.C. Jones if he could swear he was drunk. Witness replied that he oould. Then defendant wanted to know how he could kick witness if he was drunk. Witness said he could feel their kicks and saw defendant kick Roberts. Defendant called his sister, Mary Price, who said that on the day in question she was in Long Bridge-street at the time stated, and saw a crowd by the Van Vaults. Her brother was there with the policeman, and she heard him asked the policeman why he stopped him going in for a drink.
