Yotlell on a charge oi steal- ing money from the person cf one Edward Morria, on the previous evening (the fair Bight). She was sutwe- fluently examined before the 31;tyc.,f, and remauded till (Saturday last. The prosecutor stated that lie met the I prisoner at the Cross Foxes. She prvflfcnded to be ill, :,anti ireqiteste(I him to hke her liome.

The <priseier wa* committed for trial at the nint Quarter Sessions. .?SPECIAL !EETTG OF THE DEN'BIGHSKIiVK, AX I) FLINTSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SO. ) CIET\ I On Honoay'kRt iiieetiiig of the Denbighshl'e .and Flintshire "Society was held at Ittithiti, for the put ■ poae of electing a successor t" the Secretary, Mr. Ge^r^re HeUis, who had given notice of his intention to retire from office iu uoustHnieuce of his increasing professional busiuess. The meeting in the first instance was hel,1 at the White Lion Hotel, Uit-it was found, from tho verv large attendance of Iuembers, expedient to adjourn to the County Hall, which tva* kindly granted for the pur- I pose, by Mr. Joseph Peers, clerk of the peace. Aniongs* those present were—Ltavelyu Faulkner Lloyd, Esq., Townshend Maiuwaring, M.P, Whitehall Dod, Esq., James Maurice, Esq., E. C. Walker, Esq., Path- afarn, T. G. Oixon, Eaq Edward Bates, E, Rev. J. R. Roberts, Rev, T. B. Ll. Hrowne, &c. Mf. Ll. Faulkner Lloyd was uiatuously voted to the chair, and read/the turaute* of the last meeting, and the •■circular convening the meeting. He then said, having taken considerable interest in this society for some time past, he could not let this opportunity escape him without offering to the members present at the meeting —in fact to all tire auncultcrisV) of the two canities » -which this society represented, Denbighshire and Flint- tfthire—his feelin. with Tegard to the (ititie-i which had "!been performed by Mr. Bellia, their secretary. That "gentleman had taken very greatiirterestiu.it, had been extreniely energetic in promoting its welfare, and on all occasions had exhibited «u amount of eourtesy to the subscribers and other persons connected with the society which did him infinite credit. He (Mr. Bellis) had avoide(I fiuythiiie: io the aliap* of party feeling whatever in all his transactions, his dealin". with those with whom he caTLe in contact I)eitig ,frictly,imiarti,I-as iinpartial as it was pogaiLQe t" Ito, Having now been clostlv con- nected with him sineethey did him 'the chairman) the honour to elect him cuairmlIl of the Finance Committee —having been in constant c umuunicatiou with him, :-and having had some very interesting points to consider 'with him—he was bound to say that Mr. Bellis** up- 'rightness, regularity and shrewdness bad overcome every »obstacle and difficulty where they arose. (Hear., hear). He felt sure that Mr. Bellis retired from his office with ttte good feeling of every subscriber, and out of kindness to him it would well become them, for Teasons already explained to accept his resignation. Perhaps he might be allowed to forestall Mr. Bates in what lie was to Ray. At the meeting of the-committee which oenterbii,.e(\ ,fT. };elli, notice in February last it ap- peared to nitll that it was not regular, but for the good J YeeEnt thry had towards him, they thought that they j would leave it to the present meoting tw 'appoint his ] successor. (Hear, 'hear). I Mr. Bate. —There «vs no perscm that had tarried "illl the bnainpo of the society better than tiheir abl« ?arv. and h" felt sure that every member ttfrMhedt kin,lty feeling towards him. (Hear, hear), <>eing so, he thought they w'>lITd e' itTi-iRed ;to rtiebt Vr, Bellis's views, if they could '<io ;s» legally. -Bufcitwas not so, for one of the clauses of the '4th rule said that the secretary's service "shallend and determine on thiee by him at any genera! an- or to him at any special meeting of the members of the society called for that i pur-1 fBMe." That being part of the laws and regtilatim.4, •they vcere bound by the same. He therefore beggodto •move that Mr. Bellis continue secretary up to the-nest annual meeting, when he could give notice. Mr. Thomas Jenkins seconded the motion. Mr L'avison said he was one who attended 'the Fi- nance Committee meeting at Mold ¡,t month, v.-hen it that Mr. Bellis should bo at liberty at the termination of the ifnancial year that he bought was the f. eling entertained towards Mr. Bellis. The Ch-tirmaii-Ttio Society s accounts had been pass- ed, and £ 88 stood to the credit of the Society, which would appear in the printed publication of their pro- ceedingi. lie thought that an annual election of se- cretary would be a good thing, for there bad been a good amount of uionev paid on that day, doubtless with the view to enable the subscribers to vote. (A lauzli). 41 Mr) Bates said he was not quite sure if he had made himself understood. Their year terminitteft on the Slut, Dec., on 1 the object of the claose appeared to be that AHWCT annual meeting should be held in Sept., and the notice should expire with the termination of the year of the society. Captain Cooke said that the Finance Committ," ■meeting agreed to accept Mr. Bellis's resignation, nsrt they were bound to aeeept it. If the -committee Had done wrong it was their fault He begged to move, by way of amendment, that Mr. Bellis's resignation W ac- cented especially by fhrft meeting, which was thehwgest ia connection with ttsa society that he ever rexwnv i>ered seeing. Mr. Davison seft'mM the amendment. Mr. V. Go3f<#rfl washed tho 4th rule to be reaffi. Mr. Rellis then read the same, which hasTeference, M already stated, to three months' notice. Mr (! >sf -rd said that every member ofthaftoeicty wat b6,mm4 by the rules, and had no (lowar (to. <le»iato fri-JW them. Captain Cooke said if they could stretch a point they cajht to oblige Mr. Bellis, in consequent of his loot 8yj, j.v. "Mr. Bawum said they ought to a. me™ a. uiti rtite-. "Mr Gosford wished to call attention to the 14th rule, wMchoaH ?Th?t the f.-r?oing rules be stnot lv ad- he?d tm, ?d?o alteration ma le in them, unless by an extraordinary general meeting of the members of fii-e society, called especially for that purpose. There w* one remark which Captain C^oWtrtd made uaniely, that they ollght to remember Mr. Belhss ivnt sen-ices. He(,Nir. could only Bay" that those snvices were highly appreciated by the society," and if he would ooy consent to continue them to the erid fif the year, he had no doult the meeting wouid make up— would C.mipjiisate him (Mr. Bellis) for any -Ra«nfie» of time that he might have made dtirinx that po- rid. (Iloir, hear). H J e jaoluded by making a motion to' that effect. Mr Dawson seconded it, Mr, Astbury said this was an extraoromnry general tneetin-, and they wore perfectly jiwtffiett iu opening the nnestiim of appointing a n€w secretary. Til- Chairman thought that if the gentlemen of the iong rube, who occupied that. r,voni last week > ass,res) were present, they wouM tell the meeting differently. (A langh), ?S?'? ?ford thon?t It wouU be well to hear what Ili-. Bellis had to say. Mr. Bates also tUoucfht that it would be well if tr.

(CrieR of "No, no.") lIe thought the new comer would have a great insicht into the duties of the offict" if instructed by Mr. Bellis; but if they did not accept his resignation, he was afraid Mr. R»UU would he slow in offering any assistance to his fOries of No, no.")
