The oerltificate was withdrawn, but Mr Beok was told he could make an appeal on personal grounds. LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. 11 IE COUNTY THEATRE. "The Shine GIrl," the chief picture shown during the first half of the week, made a strong appeal by its simplicity and charm. The theme dealt with the philosophy of happiness, and the "Shine Girl" proves that its key is contentment. The first tpisode of the new patriotic serial, "<c" ::t; To: ¡. "'Boy Scoitt&Be Prepared," was shown, and the first episode gave promise of a serial with a punch. For the lest of the week there is "A Fair Imposter." Filmdorn manages pretty wrell to keep abreaat of the times, and there are few things at tne lhe aires those days that have not their counter part on the M"s, "Chase Me Charlie," which will bo shown f,r the whole of next, week, and whicn is claimed to bo the first revue ever y"e;i on the screen is tho work of Mr Langford Heed, and features Cliarlio Chaplin. Mr iteed has made a complete new story from over twenty cuttings from a dozen oxiaring Chaplin films, and half a dozen fresh scenes specially produced in London. One of these scenes burlesques the signing of the famous contract for the salary of JtbiiU) per week, which, it is stated, Chaplin now receives, and Charlie is here very cleverly im- personated by Mr Douglas Graham, of the Palace Theatre. The exti-a photographic work includes some clever fakes," and it is interest- ing to noO that the subject, which is in five reels, took some six months to complete. The ti'tles are al! in topical verse, and there are also a couple of songs and a duet (on the screen), and this novel sub-titling is decidedly clever. "Chase Mo Charlie" is a laughable and creditiible pro- duction, and to call it a revlie was perhaps quite a brain wave. In addition to the revue, a iour- reel English exclusive entitled "Esther Re- deerr.ed," will be shown for the first half- of the week, while for the second half an entirely new French drama, "The Mystery of the Listening Forest," will be screened. This latter is said to be quite a novel affair, and Bangorians may congratulate themselves in that tilrey will see this thriller before any other town in Great Britain. I TH0 f FIOTURiEDHOME. ine prco, af je this week was full ot good things. The cellar attraction for the first half of t,he week was "Sunshine and Shadows," a five- part film with Baby Marie Osborne, figuring largely in it. Another item of note was the first part of "Pea.rl of the Army," in which the favourite Pearl White appears. For the week- end there is "Fatal Mirror," a photo-play which rivets attention from the first foot of the reel to the last, and the mirth of the tio's Guit',y" series will also be shown. The Pathe play in five aots, "Romance and Mystery," and the sec- ond episode of the "Pearl of the Army," are in- cluded in the programme for the initial half of next week, and "Millionaire PaupBrs" will be the outstanding film ior the remainder of the week.

Inspector Snelling, R.S.P.C.A., gave evidence Nllit the mare was very tame on nor on lore tog and totally unfit for work.—Mr Luther Jones, veterinary surgeon, desoniibed the mare as be:llg dead lame and unfit for any kind of work. It would have been impossible for the mare to have left the stable that morning in a fit state.— Mr Gordon Roberts, for the defence, stated that the maire had been under treatment by a veterin- ary sur,g,e ii. The animal left the stable that morning quite fit for the light work it had to do, but it fell lame on acoount of "thruslh."

COAL PRICES NOT YET FIXED.—The offi- cial coal prices for Llanfairfeohan have not yet been fixed, though no blame for the delay attaches to the local Coal Control Committee, who have received the following letter from the Coal Con- by tM,> Controller of Coal Mines to say that refusal- on the part of merchants to s-Liliply information asked for by your Committee will be an offence against the Defence of the Realm Regulations, as stated in Article 17 of the Order, if you experience any further difficulty regarding the matter I am to suggest that you should again communicate with the Controller of Coal Mines." It appears that the Committee desired to peruse the invoices for coal bought by local coal merchants immediately prior to the war, and these have now been for- warded to them, but they have decided to apply to the coal merchants for certain further parti- culars.

Morgan). The Chairman, Mr T. J. Owen, the Surveyor, and the Clerk were- appointed to attend a con- ference- convened by the Carnarvonshire County Council. It was decided that persons who have. made burials at the cemetery pnor to 1904 and have not purchased the graves be informed that unless they purchase them by March 31st next tho Council will make use ot such graves for buriais, Mr J erss proposed the deletion of the follow- ing recommendation: "That the Recreation Ground be Jet- to Mr Richard Roberts, Rose Cot- tage, for s heep grazing up to the end ot March on payment of £ 2, an undertaking to be given that the sheep IEust bo kept from the allotments." Mr Jorss saii the sheep would be bound to go into the allotments. The recommendation was carried, only fifteen sheep to be kept there. It was reported that the War Agricultural Committee would probably insist upon fifteen acres ot the Goli .Links being cut up. A pro- posal was made that steps should be taken to see that the land was not ploughed unless it was absolutely necessary, Mr L. D. Jones stid that if the War Agri- cultural Committee deemed it necessary to plough the land he hoped tho Coulneit woufd not do anything to discourage them. It would be bettor to nave fifteen acres of food than that fifteen partiei of visitors should lw ve facilities to play golf. The main question now was food aad not enjoyment. The committee in- charge of the links wero asked to consider the matter, but not to approach tho tenant, of the land until he leceives ciders to plough the links. According to a report, presented by a sub-com- mi tee, there is for twenty workmen's jious"s in LJanfanfechan. Mr W. G Roberts said that a number of work- men's houses in the place were unoccupied. The Chairman: The view the committee took was that the houfes you zefer to are not work- ing men's houses according to tho standard sot up by the Government. Mr L. D. Jones protested that there was no reasonable argument at the committed in favour of the ereotiorl. of twenty workmen's houses. In August there were thirty empty working rnell's houses in the place, and the number had since increased. After further discussion it was decided by seven votes to two not to accept the report of the committee. Mr R S. Williams, headmaser of the Council School, was appointed to represent the Council on the Court of Governors of the University College of North Wales.

WIFE GRANTED SEPARATION ORDER At Bangor Police Court, on Tuesday, Mra Ellen Jones, Bontuchaf, Betih-escla, sumnionecl IiiL,r huj^baud, Robert Jones, forniariy a qita:*ry- man and now working in Liverpool, under the Married Women's Act for alleged desertion. Mr Rc-ger Evans, for the complainant, said the parties bad been married 28 years, and the wife gircatly regretted that these proceedings were necessary, but her attempts to bring her husband back to licir had proved abortive. In 1902 the husband went, to work in Newfoundland', and dill/ring the six yeaic, he remained there only sent her J685. From Newfoundland he went to Chicago, where he remained several months, but did not send her a penny. Sub- sequently he worked in South Wales and Liver- pool, but did not send her sufficient money to live upon. The only complaint the defendant had against hici wife was that die had a bad temper, but frailty of temper, sa.id Air Evans, was not sufficient ground of desertion. The Complainant said her temper was no worse man that ot anyone .else sine said tiha ilece' ved a letter from her husband, saving "he did not call her his wife." She went to Liver- pool to see him, and followed him to hia lodgings, but he would have nothing to do with her. Questioned by Mr.Dew (who appeared for the defendant), the wife stated that shortly after they were married she allowed her husband to live alone in a house for two montha while sha remained with her mother. Mr Dew Did he constantly complain of your temper?—-That is what he always complained of, but thare was not sufficient temper on my paart to jmtify him deserting me. The Defendant statie-d that his wife had a bad temper, and whatever he did, she raid it was wrong. She mad.e his life intoforable, and ha hated to go near the house. When he wemt to Newfoundland he sent her JB12 to pay hor pass- age, bait she never os,me. Though he did not hve with her he sent his wiiife 103 a week, and lately he had paid her rant and otiheir bills. Mr Dew, for the defence, contended that under the oi-roumstanc-ee, admitted by the wife, there could be no desertion. The Bench granted a separation cirdar, tha husband to contribute 10s weekly for the main- tenance of his wife< Printed and Published for the North Wale. Chronicle Company, Limited, by J. S.
