¡¡,- EISTEDDFOD AT PRESTATYN. A VERY SUCCESSFUL GATHERING. COMPETITORS COMPLIMENTED BY THE ADJUDICATOR. Prestatyn has for some years past provided the district with an Eisteddfod on Whit-Mon- day, but this year it was feared that the King's death would have interfered with the success of the .annual event. But while there was not so liar go an attendance ae on former occasions Monday's event was in every way a success, aaid those responsible are to 00 eomiplimenUxl on the ,exoellenoe of their arrangement as wedl as upon the high-class character of the programme placed before thei.r patrons. The Rev. Ben. Williams was the president; Mr John Pritchard, vioo-pre- sident Mr E. D. Jones, treasurer; and Mr J. M. Hughes, Wrexham HYaee, again ably discharged the duties of secretary. The Eisteddfod was held in the Town Hall, and both meetings were well attended. The com- petitors came from all parts of North WaJes, wink) LiverpoollaJld Bu-kxnhead also sent formidable contingents. The conduct of the proceedings was in the hands of "Huwoo Penmaen" and the Rev. Rhys J. Huws, who perforntied their duties with ahiiity. The adjudicators were: — Music, Mr E. Hurren Harding, Mus. ^ac L.T.C.L., L.T.S.C., Bangor, and Mr I. Owei' J<ates, F.R.C.O., Cardiff; recitation, Rev. Billy.s J. Huws, Bethesda; essay and ranst i- tiens, Rev. Meredith J. Hughes, Prestatyn; needlework, Mrs T. Jones, Mrs W. J. Wil- liams, Mrs T. Lloyd Ellis, and Mrs J. Llvyd Jones. AFTERNOON MEETING. Mrs Hugh Edwards, Canonbury, presided over the opening meeting. In her zd-dreas Mrs Edwards referred to the lost iaiiii- seripts of Wales, and touched upon the his- tory of the Eisteddfod, which &he said dated from 668, She also spoke of the death cf King Edward VII., her remarks on this sub- ject being quoted in a-nother column. The conip-eticons were proceeded with as foll lowis Pianoforte solo for children under 16: There were ten competitors, three of whom appeared before the auddienoe. Tho prize was awarded to Miss J. Taylor, Birkenhead, for a credit- a.ble performance. There was a numerous-entry in the needle- work cJass, and the prizes were awarded to Mrs Littler, West Ki-rby, amd Miss Hughes, Mcliden. For the children's solo, "The Children's Home," eight entries were received, and tihe first prize (a jgoJd-centne medal) was won by Mies A. F. Parry, Llandudno Jumetion, and the second by Miss Victoria Wilson, Gron- ant. Both competitors sang remarkably well, and were compla-mented by the adjudica- tor. There were 16 entries for the recitation (own choice), and the three who appeared on the rpLatform gave an excellent rendering. The first was Miss Peggy McKay, Birken- head, and the second Mr P. Williams, Green- field. Eleven translations from English into Welsh were received, and the successful com- petitor proved to be Mx John Simpson, Pres- tatyn. Three, were selected from tihe eight who had emteired to appear in the soprano solo, "Ol-wen," and in awarding the prize to Miss Gwladye Hooscxn, of Coedpoeth, the adjudica- tors remarked that she would make a very good singer if she put in plenty of hard work. Other competitors were som-ewhatt in- different singers. For the double quartette, "In the Sweet By and Bye," three parties sang, and the contest proved a keen one, the prize going to Brytfoondaid II. from Broughton, wlhich was conducted by Mr Joseph Rogers. A challenge cup was offered to competitors between the ages of 12 and 16, and Miss Jennie Taylor, Rirkenihead (who won the pianoforte solo prize) proved a popular winner. There was only one entry for the best cush- ion, and the adjudicators with-beld the prize, considering the work not worth-v of it. In the male voice choir competition, on "The Bdaickamith," only one party oaame for- ward. The adjudicator sipoke veTy highly of tie rendering, and it would have been no easy matter to have beaten them. He had seldom heard better singing, even at the National Eisteddfod. The. Broughton and District Male Vcdoe Party, conducted by Mr Evan Evans, was the choir, and although by the rules they ware not entitled to a prdez, the committee under tihe oi rcumstances made Mr Evans an acknowledgment. For the baritone solo, "GJyndwr's Grave," 20 entered, and after a keen contest, Mr R. J. Jones, of RhosHvanercihrugog, was awarded the prize. The Rhyl Juvenile Choir (conductor, Mr Wadsworth), the Prestatyn United Choir (conducted by Mr Alun Davies), and the Gronaut Juvenile Choir (conductor, Mx Wm. Humphreys) computed in the piece "Hurrah for the Country." The adjudicator said he had no hesitation in giving this award; the Rhyl Choir being easily first with good balance and blend, as well as a well worked- up finish.—This was the second prize the RhyJ Choir won on Monday, carrying off in the morning the award at Llannerfydd Eistedd- fod. The proceedings closed with a. vote of thanks to the lady president, moved by Mr G. O. Williams, and seconded by Mr E. D. Jones. EVENING MEETING. Councillor John Pritohard, who presided at the second meeting, said he had never ex- pected to occupy the chair at a gathering of that kind, but the fact that a lady had so ably filled it in the afternoon gave him courage. He was pleased to know that in spite of the numerous Eisteddfodic gatherings held that day Prestatyn had held its own, and he wished the movement every success in the future. The conductor announoed that a second prize had been given by Mr Roberts for the pianoforte playing at the afternoon meeting, th,e winner being Mlis-s Taylor, Shotton. There were nine entries for the juvenile pianoforte contest, and the prize went to Miss G-ladwys Hughes, Grona-nt, after am excellent competition between the two selected to aIp- pear on the platform. For tihe best tnansllajtion from Welsh to Eng- lish, Mr J. H. Roberts, Colwyn Bay, gained tihe prize. Five coTnipetitors sent in essays, and the Rev. Merediith J. Hughes awarded the prize to Mr Tom Morris, Tranmere. Birkenhead. An exoeHent and close competition took place in the tenor SOLO com.petition on "Hoff- der y Cymro." There were 17 entries, three being selected to appear, and the winner was Mx E. W. Belli/ Rios. Four competitors were given the stage in the English recitation (own choice), the prize going to Mr Oswald Hughes, Brymbo. A very good rendering was given in the tenor and bass duet competition, Messrs E. W. Bellas and R. J. Jones, Rhos, being de- cJiared the winners. For needlework Mrs Littler, West Kirby, and Miss Huglhes, Melidien, were again an- nounced as the successful competitors. A salver cup was offe-r-ed for the best Welsh recitation, for which there were 27 entries, and Miss L. J. Evans, lalansam-nan, proved the winner after am excellent rendering. The chief male voice competition attracted three parties, Broughton and District (con- ductor, Mr Evan Evans), Hindley Industrial (conductor, Mr J. Leyland), and Ffynnoc- groew (Mr Joseph Spencer). The piece selected was "The Pilgrims," the prize going to Brougihtan for an exceptionally fine rendering, and for which they were highly complimented by the adjudicator. Although there was a large number of com- petitors for the dballesnge solo, only one was aMe to appear on the platform, others having to leave by train, and the committee award half the prize to Mr E. Lewis, Boottle. The Rev. B. Williams proposed a vote of thanks to the president, and also to all who had assisted the Eisteddfod. MT J. M. Hughes seconded, and this was carried midst applause, the mooting closing with the singing of "Hen wlad fy nhuiau," in which Mr E. Lewis took the eolo. Mr G. W. Jones and Mr W. Nuttall wtT* the acooanpaaxi^ts throughout the day.

3<.,..IILII NORTH WALES HORSE…
3< IILII NORTH WALES HORSE SHOW. KEEN COMPETITIONS. OPINIONS OF THE JUDGES. (From Our Reporter.) Unlike its immediate prediceeaaor, the annual North Wales iiorse Show at Carnar- von, on Wliit-Monday, was favoured with beautiful weather, the sky being unsullied throughout the day. Naturally there was a Largo "alaux into the show heid, situate on tile Loodineien Ground, wthicsh are gained by crossing the Aber Bridge, and overlooking tine Mienai IStraits, they are ideally placed. Of one feature this show can truly boaet—an enthusiastic committee, who have not been daunted by a succession of ill-luck, which would have Led to the demise of many a show. Last year, for instance, the wretched weather wiiucih prevailed involved a loss of .£70, and many tilum predicted the end of the show, particuiuirly as many of the preceding ex- hibitionts had not proved a financial success, but the oolmnutte-e showed commendable spirit and enterprise, which met with its due reward on Monday in the fonm of a bumper gate, and a grand exhibition of animals. 'lihc president was the Marquis of Angle- sey wno unfortunately was unable to be present at the -Low, Mr J. H. Griffith, Clynnog, Dwyran, was the vice-president; Captain N. P. Stewart, Bangor (who was a i.,tember of the original Executive Committee of the sihow being elected in 1881, .and who was as active as ever in the ring), presided over the Executive Committee; Mr J. Heath- cote Addie, LLanwnda, another busy official, being the vice-chairman. Mr G. H. Hum- phreys, Lloyds Bank, acted as treasurer, wihiLsit Mr Dan Rhys, who has been se-crctary of the show for 24 years, again officiated m that capacity with that thoroughness so char- acteristic of him, he having an able assistant in Mr D. J. Daviee. The superintendents were: — Large ring Captain N. P. Stewart, Plas Lodwig, Ban- gor; Mr V. P. Lort, Bryniau, Bangor. Shire rang: Mr F. L. Lloyd, Pron, near Carnar- von; Mr D. 0. Wiilnams, Tymawr, CLynooog. Pony ring: Mx Henry Owen, Bridge-street, Carnarvon; Mr Maurice E. Jones, Foel Ferry, Anglesey. The superintendents of the general arrangements were: Messrs J. Heath- cote Addie, Lianwnda; G. H. Humphreys, Carnarvon; Major Whiskin, Carnarvon; Messrs Evan Evans, Froaideig, Carnarvon; John Davies, Muriau, Carnarvon; W. Hes- ketih ughes, Grecian Villa, Carnarvon; W. S. Jones, Mimafon, Carnarvon; Adwynne Car- ter, Bontnewydd, Carnarvon; D. T. Edwards, Rock House, Carnarvon; Mr Ernest W. Jon,-3, Carnarvon.

In the course of a conversation with our reporter, Mar Arthur E. Evans, Wrexham, who judged the light horses horses and who, by the way, is presmcksnt of the Hackney Horse Society tibis year, ex- pressed the opinion that the hackney might be used as a cross with Welsh bred mares to greater advantage, especially if the hackneys are got, as they can be got, on hunter lines -annnals with good shoulders and size. "Tihe most es<sentiai thing for backney breeders to bear in mind," said Mr Evans, "1. that the ahouldera of an andmail are worth all the other points put together." Mr Morris Evans, one of the judges of the heavy horses, described them as a good average lot with nothin.g vesry striking aui< ng them. "Leek Golden Drop "(Mr Thomas Williams, Uyelew) he considered a splendid chestnut with good feet, sound, and a g'\xxi mover. "Gellhiiog Quoon" (Mr ThI'. Jones, Dwyran) he thought should develop into a fine animal, amd she fully des-jr^jd tno prizes won by her. The turn-oats wero ex- ceptionally neat, with not a bad lot tinoigst tirem, declared the judge. The light horse judge mentioned one olnss where halters were specified, and he thought tihat competitors might obey thj rule.s la;d down. He spoke of "Morton Fireaway k -I. r W. Hughes Jones, Llangefni), a notable winner, as a very useful horse, and the second in the class. "Dinartlh Danegelt" (Messrs John Jones and Son, Dinarth Hall Pony Stud) he described as a very good mover, a typicaJ hackney, though rather on the small side. The judges took some tame in judging the pony stallion class, the pre- mier prize being awarded Miss Lort's "Bobby Dazzler," which had more quality than the second animal, and showed better style and action. Miss Lort, whose exhibits were bred by herself, was siingularly successful, and "Bobby Dazzler" would assuredly have captured the silver medal offered by the WclBh Pony and Cob Society, had it not been sudden- ly taken ill on the show field. The judge was very pleased with "The Banker" (Mr J. T. Oliver), shown in tihe best wedght- carrying hunter class (14 stone and over),say- ing it was a sort of animal seldom seen these days. Mr R. Roberts, Mall Bank, Men an Bridge, showed "Polly" in the ligtht weight hunter class, and it caught the eye of the judge, who, in awarding it the first prize, highly praised it. "Polly," which was shown for the first time, was bred from "Lord President" and "Judy" (dam), tihe pro- perty off Lord Panrhytn. The following is a list of the a wards SECTION A.

ST. ASAPH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. "NEW FADS AND INCREASING EXPENDITURE." The fortnigfatly meeting of this Boaa-d was held on Friday. Mr J. F. Friwston presided, and Mr Wm. Jones occupied the vice-chair. There were also present, Messrs John Roberta, J. Fierce, J. R. Ellis, J. B. Wil- liams, Abergele; J. T. Parry, Robert Da.vies, Bettwe; R. E. Grifflths, Bodelwyddan; W. S. Roberts, Bodhijd; Owen IWes, Geltn Mrs J. Gee, Miss Gee, Messrs Robt. Jones, Hugh Williams, J. E. Jcnes, Denbigh; E. Mor- gsui, Dymeirchicnn E. Williams, Dyserli; R. A. Jones, Wm.

Edwards, Rhyl J. Lothian, W. A. Watte, St. Asaph J. D. J&nes, St. George; J. Morris, Trefnant; John Jones, Waen, and C. Grimsley (clerk). DOUBLE DOORS FOR THE BOARD ROOM. Mr Llew. Evans suggested that steps should be taken to prevent persons who came before the Board over- heuring what the members said conoennDg' them whilst tisey were out of the room. Recently he was threa.tencd for something someone else had said in the meeting. The Master said he would see that there were double doors provided far the Board Room. THE LATE KING. The Ch.,irrrriu referred to the death of King Edward, and dwelt upon his many excellent qualities. He moved a vote of condolence with Queen Alexandra and the other members of the Royal Family. lb -c vote was passed in siilencet "NEW FADS AND MORE EXPENSE. The Clerk placed before the members a circular lot- tor frotm tho Local Government Board with regard to the method and principles of distributing relief. Mr Edwin Morgan did not consider that the Board were called upon to deal with the matter. He had read the circular, and in his opinion tiere seetned to be a desire to bring in new fads, which would mean more expense for officii ale and more saJanies. Mr S. Perks said the circular was the outcome of the report of tbe Royal Commission, and many radical changes were proposed. Too circular required very careful oonsideration before they committed themselves to it, and they should hesitate before they made any chadngts. As Mir Morgan had said, the expenditure iD. volved would be heavy, and they had no means of cal- culating what it would really be. In fact, he -was afraid that throughout the whole country it might mean nullione of pounds. There was no practical knowledge before the Board of wtiot wouJd be spoci, nor did they know wilva good would result. If the members carried out the regulations laid down, and listened to the advice given by the Local Government Board jaapeotora there would be no need to alter their ways, as the deserving poor were well treated. Mr J. R. Ellis said there was one proposal which should be considered, altiwugh be did not think they could oarry it out in ita entirety. It was the suggestion that paupers should be paid in their own homes. In such a scattered district that was inqpeamftte, but they should inast upon those who were able to attend the pay station dninf: so, and tbe money should not be paid over to ahUdren. If the poor oaold not attend tboa tbey migfal be pIIIÍd in their own bosnea, "1. .f'" Mr Raitho said be Belt tliot the eirculair really meant that they should reform their present system, and he proposed that a small committee go into the matter and report. The Clerk pointod out that rules were laid down for giving relief, and if those were complied with there would be no need for a. change. Mr J. Pierce said he bad gone through the report, and he agreed with Mr Perks. Let roenl leave the master in abeyance until they had more information concerning it. On a division, it was deckled by a large majority to leave the matter in abeyance. THE FAMILIES OF UNEMPLOYED. A letter was read from the Hendon Union asking the Board to support a petition in favour of power being given to relievo the families of unemployed while the men were looking for work. Mr J. Ellis Jones agreed with the letter, and thougfit the present system Nvas bad. No provision was rilude for the families of men who were away looking for work, and ho had felt tiiat it was cruel to leave the wives and families of rcsj>ectable married men without relief. He moved that tliey support the petition. Mr LIew. Evans seconded, and said there 'were often men who were willing- to work who could not find it, and under the regulations the Board could not re- lieve theim. He knew of a case in Rhyl whero there was nothing in the house of a working man but a little bread amd salt. Mr John Rober-to hoped every farmer would oppose the passing of the resolution. To-day it was difficult to find men who would work they ooukl get plenty of idlers, but genuine workers were few. The result would be, if thi-, present state of things powtinuod, that all farmers would be paupers. After some further discussion the matter dropped. TEACHING THE BLIND. The annual contribution of t5 to the North Wales Home Teaching Sooiety for the Blind was granted. COST OF WORKHOUSE MAINTENANCE. The Clerk placed before tilie meeting the Local Government Board return of the coat of food and clothing of inmates of workhouses in Wales for the past half-year, and stated that the average was dE5 15s r,c. head, but in the St. Asaph Union it was only E4 10s 6d (hear, hear). DENBIGHSHIRE PRECEPTS. It was reported that in future the Denbighshire County Council would issue its precepts in January and July, instead of at later periods, so that Unions could make their rates in good time (hftlr, hear).

The annual meeting of this Council was held on Fndlay, when there were present:—Messrs W. Morris, W. Conwy Bell, Llew. B. Evans, J. Lothian, E. Morgan, Goo. Wiliiams, W. Watts, Ed. Williams, W. S. Roberts Jno. Jones, R. E. Griffiths, C. GrimaOy (clerk), R. LlQyd (road sur- veyor), and E. O. Evans (sanitary surveyor and inspector). APPOINTMENT OF CHAIRMAN. On the motion of Mr E. Morgan, seconded by Mr Conwy BeAl, Mr W. Morris, Rhuddlan, was unanimously elected chairman* On the motion of Mr Oonwy BeH. Mr J. Lothian waa eLectoo vice-chairman. THE DEATH OF THE KING. TSue Chairman referred to taw death of King Edwo.A and proposed) a vote of condolence wita the members of the Royal Family, which was paebed m sfemoe. THE UPKEEP OF ROADS: TOO MUCH EXPENDITURE. A complaint was remived from the Cwm Par- ish C<Juncùas to the state of the roads in that district. In tihe opinion of the Council more luid-our was required on the roadis and 1 maternal. It was 6Mg!gested that a deputation shouid meet the Parisii Gouncaii on the spot to go into matters. Mr W. Conwy &i1 said he thought that the matter could stand over for tlo present, and' he also proposed that the tenders fox the carting of material for read) repairs be aJso rtSerred to a am-wa committee, who fcivauld1 go over the whole of the district roads for the purpose of ascertain- ing what was reaiJy required ior their repair. They should visit every section of tihe roads. He letit that the time had come when they should eee that "their roads were pilaced! in a bettor con- dition. He was sorry to say that he had a sur- prise packet for the Council. lie Had had pre- pared by tihe best authority some figures, anidl he was sorry to say that the roadis in the St. Asaph district cost the ratapayexs about JB7 per nulo more tthan in other districts. The figures supplied him were as iOMOWB — Hawardten. Rural District Council with a mileage of 186 had an average oi JB14 6s per mile, and employed one surveyor and 27 men; Hoilyweill, 285 miies, at 214 15s per mile, two surveyors. 49 regular men and occasional heJp in the winter, steaixi- roitirng regularity carried out ana the ooet of which was irudludedi in the £ 14 15s; Overton Dis- trict. 99 milleej, E12 166 per mile, one surveyor. 14 men, and two extra men occasionally; &fc. Asaph, 81 miies, JE19 4s per mile, one surveyor, and 15 men. It would be seen that the St- Asaph District roadis cost L7 per mile more thain the Overton or MaeHor dSstrict), and £ 5 more than either Hawardlen or HoiywOll. Why he did not know. It really meant that this dbtijct was taxedl to the extent off 9400 per annum moro than Overton for the roads, notwithstanding the fact that tho Overton district had1 a very Jorge number of mechanical motors passing through it and where tihe traffic was very heavy. He proposed that a committee personally inspect the roads in the dfistrict, and aiter they had dlone so the members could go through the tenders and ascertain the amount of material wihidn in their opinion would be required. That system was being adopted in the No. 1 District of the County Council, of which he was chairman, and he bejieved) that it woulid resuJt in their being1 able to save a consddieaable amount of money. It was an extraordinary thing that last month the Surveyor asked for another £100 for road repairs for the ensuing year, although the County Council had taken off five miles of the roadli over which there was the heaviest traffic. The roadl he meant was that from Prestatyn to the boundary of Abergele. The Roadl Surveyor asked to be aJlov,d to ex- plain matters. The Chairman said he did not think there was any occasion for that until a specific charge had been madte. Mr E. Morgan-, in seconding Mr Conwy Bell's proposal!, said he had seen the figures Mr Bell bad referred! to at the meeting of the County Maim Roadis Committee, and he was bound to say that they came as a great surprise to him- The St- Asa.ph district was plaeed in an advan- tageous position as regards material, and the cartage in other districts would be heavier. Mr Edward Williams hoped that the Council would) consider the villages. They heard a great deal about the making up of the roads, but the villages teamed to be neglected. In Dyserth people bad, to wade through mud to gO to church or dhapeJ, and he hfopeki) that if any steam- rolling was done it would be in the villages. Mr LleJw. Evans said; ha feCit that, the Council shkyuld have some iritoxi-nation as to the nature of the traffic on the roads in the various dis- tricts. It was possible that in the other districts the ciroumtanoetj were quite different. Mr Conwy Bell ocutsideredi that the advantage wouilki be with the St. Asaph district, where there were many roads with very little trafho. Mr Edwin Morgan: St. Asaph, I should say, has the larger percentage of roads which are not imich used)- The motion of Mr Ooonvy BeM having been carriedj, The Rooad Surveyor asked permission to adt- dresB the Council, but the Chairman said he did! not think it was necessary, as there was still no speedfio charge against the Surveyor. The Road .Surveyor I consider there ia. The Chairman: No. It) waq agreed that the Chairman, Yioe-Chair- man, Mr Conwy Beilil, Mr Morgan, and' Mx Ed- Widraima sihould form the corn mit bee* DRAINAGE AT MELIDEN. It was reported that towards the scheme for additional drainage at Meliden. the owners, of property had offered to contribute JB58. the cost beting estiniated, at LIIO. Several owners, it was stated, were not wiling to contribute. The Clerk explained that the Parish Council had diebated the matter, and oomaidered that the owners should bear the wihole of the expense. The cost would fa! half on the owners and half on the paritsih. It was diecid-ed that the Parish Council should be imfanmedl of what the owners were willing to do. and! that they be asked to reconsider the matter. THE ISOLATION HOSPITAL. A letter waa read from the Parish Council of St. Asaph urging the Rural District Council to proceed at cmoe with tihe erection' of an isolation hcspitaJ on the piece otf land adjoining the work- house. It was arranged to caB a special meeting of the joint committees on a. convenient day, other than me usual Board meeting day, go that the matter oouldl be fixw% settteci. SANITATION AT RHUDDLAN- A fetter was next read from the Rhuddlan Pa.r.ifth Council that un>Iee» attention was paid to sanitary matters in the parish the Local Govern- ment Board! wouM bo written to. The Chairman said the matter was discussed at the meeting of the Pariah Council, and he beSiervcd it was the result of what wa stated in the MedSoai!: Officer of Health's report. lIe be- lieved they had quite a wrong impression of the matter. He did, not know what the now mem- bers wantedi, unleiss it was that. the whole of the houses sihouiid be connected with the main sewer, and th-at would meaai a tremendous expense) which tllie parish could not afforct Mr Lflew, Evans propped that the Sanitary Inspector be asked to report as to the number of houses connected with the main sewer, and the number that should be connected. Mr uonwy Belli said the Bedrhyddan Estate was quite propa-redi to go to the expense if the people would pay for it.. It. had already cost thcan about fAoo. Mr W. S. Rolbeati seconded the proposFLo-n, which was carried.

BRAOCiED Jaoob Williams, The Hand, Bettwgyooed, was sum- moned for toeing drwnk and disorderly on the night of April 30th. P.S. Breese said tho defendant was drunk and shout- ing in the street near the Post Office on the dte in question and refused to dcsiol He was locked up for the night and while in the cell he kept shouting and creating an uproar until am. He had behaved worse than any tramp and made such a mess that the bed- clothes had all to be washed. He wouM not have re- ferred to this oonduet but for the fact that the defen- dant,, when released, went round the village bragging about wiliat he had done. A fine of 10s and costs (17s), or 14 days' imprison- ment was imposed. IMPRISONMENT FOR NEGLECT. Inspector Roberts, of the N.S.P.C.O., summoned Owen Jones, Ty IJwyd, Cape! Curig, far neglecting his two children. MT W. Twigge Ellis prosecuted on behalf of the Society. Inspector Roberts said he had visited the defendant's house on several occasions during the last six months. Ou DecenbbeT 30th last he asked the defendant whether he had left his employers and he replied that he had. His wife accused him of going with other women and he lost a day on that account. His wife thereupon re- marked that he had lost a fortnight before that. The defendant answered that he had gone to the works for the wages that were due, but had not applied to be reinstated. The wife explained that her husband re- fused to go to his work at the Pool Mine before he was stopped as it was not worth his while, the wages being so low. The wife told him at the time that un- less he went to work she would go to the worlehoose, as f, essential tihat she should have food for her ohild. There were two children, the eldest being nine and the youngest one and a half years of age. She told witness thait the neighbours and her mother had assisted her, but they could not go on keeping them continually. She also said tihat about a fortnight since she had words with her husband on account of his little boy, Humphrey, when she went to the door and noticed one of the local Guardians passing. Her hus- band shouted to him to give her a paper to go toO the workhouse, but he replied that he had no authority to do so. She had to break the baok of the only chair in the house to niake a fire and the table was also used for the tame purpose. But Dx, her mother she would have been, without food all that week. At the time of the witness' visit the only food in tJr house was a little bread and a tea spoonful of too; the defendiamt h&d not then been to work for three woeks. When witness was taking down the above statements he was accompanied by P.C. Pr it chard. The baby was crying at the time, but when witness told the con-stabile to give hfen a little bread he stopped at once amd ate it. The wife said the child had "browas," or bread, water a.nd a little butter, for breakfast. All the furniture in the OOIll was a chair with its back gone and a large stone, evidently used as a seat, the Are place, or the window sill being utilised as a table. The elder child, Humphrey, ww not there at the time. The youmgeT child was velry lightly clad and very ookl. They aid slept in the same bed in a room on the same floor as the Living room. There was only one mattress on the bedetead, out oil which the straw was buirsteng. The bed-covering was composed of old sacks and old coats. The room was wet and damp. At the time the defen- dant wife's sister gave her a little bread, while he (Inspector) gave her 2s 6d worth of food. He visited the house again an January 15fch. The defendant had commenced to work on the previous day. Witness asked the defendant whether he would go book to work, but he evidently looked upon his interference as a huge joke, and after some pressure he promised to go to work. They had a little food in the house, but the bedding was in a similar condition. He again visi- ted the house on February 5fu. There was no food then in the house and the defiendant was not working a.ud had not been to work all that week. He visited him again on February 26th, when the defendant was working and the family had food in the 'house. On April 9th, however, he fovnd no food in the house. Defendant said he had no work to go to that day, but he had been working all me week, and that they would have plenty of food when he drew his wages. However, on April 18th, witness found that the wages referred to only amounted to 6d. The defendant was a good workman and could have had regular employ- ment at the Pool Mine earning £1 Is weekly had he chosen. The wife and the youngest child had then gone to the workhouse. Defendant told him that her reason for gOiilg to the workhouse was that he was out of work for some time. Witness asked whether she hod not gone because he failed to provide her witih food. He replied "No, there was bread in the house whall she went away." He found the boy shivering and with his toes out of his boots; so he had ham re- moved to the workhouse. The Society had done their best to get the man to go to work. He expressed sur- prise that he had not becin summoned before. P.O. Pritchard, R. H. Burchinshaw, and T. Parry corroborated. The defend ant said it was rot his fault as he lianded all the money he earned to his wife, and it was her duty to buy food. The Chairman, in sentencing the defendant to two months' imprisonment, reminded him that he had been warned twelve months since, when he was bound over in tie sum of £ 5 for a similiar offence, that if he appeared in the court again he would be sent to prison without the option of a fine. On the application of Mr KIUs, the court fees were remitted to the Society. ALLEGED DAMAGING OF A FENCE. W. James, Gower Bridge, summoned Richard Lloyd (11) and his mother, Maggie Lloyd, Albert Place, Llanrwst, for breaking and stealing a fcnce on the Earl of Ancaster's prepetty cm April 15th. Mr C. T. Allard, who appeared for James, explained that the prosecutor was a farm bailiff in the employ of the Rev. J. Grower, who held a field where the of- fence took place. Pulling up and stealing the posts of fences had become a perfect pest, and it was resolved to put a stop to the nuisance by prosecuting each cul- prift discovered at the work. Richard Lloyd being under age, the case against him was dropped. Mr James said that while standing on the Gowetr Bridge on April loth, he observed a womam and two lads pulling up the fence rails in the field under his care. He shouted to them and then ran towairds Uican. A1 nan away, dropping the rails. The woman, how- ever, after a short sprint was caught and asked for her name and address, which she retused to give. She then went round about trying- to get rid of witness, who persistently followed her. At length she crossed the Old Bridge and made a dive 'lnto an entry, where he again caught her. He asked a woiman who stood near what the defendant's name was, but the defen- dant cried out, "Don't give it whatever you do." Subsequently he went to her house accompanied by P.C. Owen, but no one came to the door. P.C. Oven said the defendant came to him subee- quently and gave her name and address. The defendant said she went into the field to took for something to mate a are, but she never touched the fence. The Chairman pointed out to the defendant that she had made hembdf liable to a fine not exceeding £5, but on this occasion a ftne of as and costs and Is 6d damages oafy would &e ionpoeedt
