Denbighshire Quarter Sessions. The Licensing Bill. The Easter Quarter Sessions for the county of Denbighshr were held at Denbigh on Fri- day, before Captain Griffith Boscawen (presid- ing) and other magistrates. In charging the Grand Jury, the Chairman said that,"although there were seven prisoners down for trial, the cases were rather of a simple character. As regards the state of crime in the county, that appeared to be very much the same ,as in the corresponding quarter of last year. The number -of indictable cases were rather more, but ,the non-indictable cases, on the other hand, were somewhat less. The number of per- sons proceeded against for drunkenness were fewer than last year, which was 'a very satisfac- tory sign..Sunday drunenne's appeared to be on the decrease. Dealing- with the provisions of the Licensinlg Bill now before Parliament, he .said that part III. of the Bill, which dealt with the registration of clubs, was a, very important one for 'the western portion of the county of Denbigh. He welcomed the powers proposed to be given to magistrates with regard to. social clubs, an.d ho considered that the Act on the whole would go far to control the liquor traffic and diminish drunkenness. He suggested that th: court 'should pass a resolution in. favour of the Bill. Col. Cornwallis West, of Ruthin Castle (Lord Lieutenant of the county), said that, although rtheBlil, in his opinion, did not go far enongh, yet, as a whole, it was one that ou'gij.t to re- ,ve general support. Cr;rtie ?,v?as inor,? or l??s,3 c eL the result of ,the horrible vice of drunkenness, and whatever could be done to mitigate the evil deserved every support. With regard to clubs, he thought the clauses ci the Bill which, dealt with thes2 institutions, would be extremely use- ful if passed. They all knew that these club? were extremely pernicious,and if anything could be done 'to alter the character of these clubs, which in some case's were nothing less than, drinking dens, he was. sure it would have the hearty support of the court. He moved that the court approve generally of the Bill, and hoped it would be passed during this session. Mr Thomas Williams, of Llewesog, seconded. He agreed that the provision in regard, to the -i of clu,L-s was :a valuable one, bi:,t 11,?, reg,istratio- thought the secretaries or .other responsible r,ers,ons c,Dn?n?ec?t?ed v, -ith, ?the clubs should Le put on the same footinrgas licensed holders. He re- gretted the absence from the Bill of any pro- vision for the rreduotion of the number of li- censed'houses, and that no attempt was likely to be made :to extend the benefits of the Sunday Closing- Act to Erigland. The resolution was agreed' to, and the clerk was directed -to send a copy to the Home Secre- tary and 'the members of Parliament for the county and boroughs. Extraordinary Proceedings at Abergele. Ellis dlughes, 72, painter, of Abergele, was indicted for having stolen 'a door key, the pro- perty of Thomas Parry Williams, at Abergele, on the 31'st March. He pleaded not guilty. Mr Moss, M.P., prosecuted, and said it was a peculiar case. About twelve months ago the prosecutor purchased a house in Vale-street, Abergele. The prisoner, who had been living in the house for some time, had' given prosecutor and his family considerable trouble, so much so that he had been ejected from the house. Prisoner said the 'house had -been- left to him under the will of one Esiah Parry, and in taking thfe key ihe'only tc-fok vrh-,t was his own pro- perty. The jury found a verdict of not guilty, and expressed the opinion that prisoner was not re- sponsible- for his actions. Bad Ventilation. At the conclusion, of the criminal business, Colonel Cornwallris West called attention to the complete want of ventilation in the hall, and expressed a hope that the Standing Joint Com- mittee would engage an expert to advise them as to the ventilation of all the courts in the county. Mr Moss, on. behalf of the bar, endorsed Col. West's remarks, and Mr Lumley explained: that the matter was under consideration, and would probably be remedied without delay. +-

Cowlyd Water Board. The Junction Level Crossing. AN adjourned meeting of the Cowlyd Board was held at the Council Offices, Colwyn Bay, on Monday. There were present Mr J. W. Raynes, J.P. (chairman), Dr Brooks,Alaerman H. Owen, Messrs T. Thomas Parry, J.P., and H. Hughes, with the clerk (Mr T. E. arry), the engineer (Mr T. B. Farrington), the waterman (Mr Whalley), Mr Wm. Jones (surveyor to the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council). Nona of the Conway representatives attended. The Engineer's Report. The Engineer reported that the rainfall for t I ?aiid foi _h?e MonLth of was 4.50 ,? p-rioc! -in 1901, 8.20 inches, th, corr--sp,on'ding decrease of 3.10 inches. The rainfall for the three months up to the 31st ult. was 11.60 inches, against 18.00 inches for the correspond- ing period last ye-ai, a decrease of 6.40 inches. The average overflow of the lake for the month was two inches. Rain fell on ten days, against eleven days in March last year. In r j.ard to the boundary fence, reference to which r.j I been made at the previous meeting, he had written to Mi R. C. Trench, agent to I.Ji.1 Penrhyn, asking what length of fencin'g would be required to be done, and the estimate ior the same. In reply, Mr R. C. Trench wrote, stating that bt" length of the fencing the engineer inquired auout would be about 1,700 yards, and the same ought to De put up at a rough estimate at the P ue of 2S per yard, though he could not bind himself to that amount until a thorough exam- ination had been made. The Engineer further reported that the con- icct,ioii beweeii Coivlyd a:id 'Dulyi3, r.-a;lns I was made -o.-i Llic '7th -?larc-i. Ti.le 1)?ends had been altered 'on one pipe at the Castle end of j Conway Bridge, and water had been turned on since Monday, both pipes over the bridge being now in working order. The Engineer also reported that he had al- tered one line of pipes at the Conway end, and had ordered the special pipes for 'the other lines. Llandudno Junction Level Culveit. The Engineer said he had further considered this question, and had seen Mr Dawson, the engineer to the L. and N. W. Railway Com- pany, a few days since, and he was informed that Mr Dawson was prepared to begin the work at once upon a deposit of the sum of £150, but that unless the work was completed before the end of May he could not undertake to do it until after September nest. Pressure Gaugings. He (the engineer) h'ad not been able to detect any leakage to account for the slight loss of head between DoJgarrog and Tanybryn, but he had given, instructions for frequent and careful inspections of the length in question. The Waterman's Report. The waterman (Mr Whalley) reported that he had visited the lake on the 9th inst., and found' everything in good order and the lake full. Three minor leakages had roeen repaired in the usual way, but on the 8th ult. the water was turned off owing to a blown joint close to Bank- field House. The connection at Sarnymynaeh between the Cowlyd and Dulyn mains was now completed, and water could be turned at this place, if necessary, at any time for the different mains, and the valve was now seated. To Prevent Waste of Water. The Chairman referred to the need fo- ap- pointing a man to see after the waste water in the different districts durin'g the summer months. Last year the person appointed had found a number of leakages, and had done a lot of good. Their own waterman had not the right to go into the districts of the different au- thorities. Alderman. Hugh Owen thought there was a good deal of water wasted by leakages-. Recent- ly a case had come under his personal observa- tion, where a leaking tap had been allowed to remain in the same condition for two years, and he knew of a great many cases about Llandudno Junction where a similar state of things pre. vailed. Mr Owen also referred' to the Waste which was caused by not ad-opting the ball-taps. He thought the old caps ought to be done away with and ball-taps substituted. Mr Whalley remarked that it was always a difficult -matter to deal with those complaints, lie had continually reported similar instances, but nothing riacl been- done in the matter. Mr Wm. Jones said that at Colwyn Bay they took particular care to put down leakages of all sorts. The Chairman observed that <a man, specially engaged to superintend the work in the different districts would cost them 30s per week. He was firmly convinced that in engaging such a person the Board benefited in the long run. 'Mr Hugh Hughes remarked that upon the re- ports they received from the man employed last year they could not act- Mr T. Parry concurred. In reply to the chairman, Mr Farrington said that reports had been submitted from time to time. Ile liad iju-Tid, -?Ir WM. To,, _eg (,the Col. wyn Bay surveyor) giving immediate attention to the matter in his district, and he was the only surveyor who had done so. He did not see any harm in appointing a special man once rn ,orc, tand, provided the c'.iffer--Tit author,,??ies ro- operated in their action on the matter, he would advise them to appoint someone for a month to see 'how it worked. Mr T. Roberts eventually gave notice- that he would move to that effect at the next Board meeting.. Disconnecting Branch Pipes. Mr T. Parry asked what steps were to be taken with a view ito disconnecting branch pipes from the trunk. Alderman Hugh Owen strongly opposed any steps to disconnect those 'already in existence. At Llan^wstenin the pipes were only half an inch i-i size-, and the trunk lay close by. | After a -short discussion, .Mr T. Parry proposed that they esked the different authorities once more to remove the pipes. MrHug11 Hughes seconded the motion, which was carried, Alderman H. Owen voting against it. Junction Level Crossing. In submitting his report—which- we also re- produce above—the Engineer said he was very a.-ixioiis 'that ithe work ,.i referer?c c, to the Lla-i- ci be proceeded with at once. As they saw by the report, Mr Dawson said that unless they finished the work by May the railway company could net allow it to until* !tbe -end of September owing to the heavy traffic. If something went wrong at that particular spot during the summer months they on the Colwyn Bay side of the river might be without waiter for weeks, and he was very tanxious to have -the work done before the month of May was over. He, therefore, sug- gested that the Board sign the cheque for ^150 required by the railway company forthwith. Mr T. Parry: Do they intend: to make a new culvert where the present mains are? The Engineer: 'No, sir; it will be in another place some distance away. Mr T. Parry: The present mains won't be dis- turbed ? The Engineer: No, sit; not necessarily. On the motion'of Dr 13woks, seconded by the Chairman, the cheque was ordered to be signed.. Thanks to the Chairman In -concluding the business, Mr T. Parry said that that being the last meeting of the year, he proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman for cl-ie ivav !he had, con?.Ine?*,ed the bvsi,-ie-gs of the chair duxi-n,- th, pas,, ve.-ir. -Iii.h Ilughes s,?oo-nd;ecl, and tha motion Ir I was carried unanimously. The Chairman: And I am much obliged to you, gentlemen-, for the kind way in which you have treated me.
