BANGOR LICENSING SESSION'S. The annual brewster sessions were held a Ban- gor on Saturday, the magistratfs on the bench being Mr Edmund Peel, the Rev T. H. G. Pules- ton, and Mr Robt. Howard. Mr Thomas Shaw presented a memorial from the Deva Lodge of Good Templars, asking the jus- tices not to crant any new licenses, and praying that licenses should be witbeld from persons who had not conducted the-ir houses in accordance with the Licensing Act of 1872. Supt. Bolton reported that the conduct of the publicans in the Overton division during the past year had been good, there having been no com- plaints or offences against their licenses during that period. The number of summonses issued for drunkenness had also considerably diminished. The following table would show the number of summonses issued for the years, ending in Sep- tember '64 '65 '66 '67 '6S '69 '70 '71 '72' '73 Hanmer 9 7 2 3 1 6 5 4 8 2 Overton 1 10 13 8 10 16 12 11 8 8 P,tngi)r 14 20 11 22 14 7 16 18 12 2 Tybroughton. 4 5 0 2 3 5 19 1 0 4 23 42 26 35 28 34 52 34 28 16 Mr Peel said they could not do better than pur- sue the course they had already pursued as re- garded the hours of closing, for the report pre- sented by the superintendent was most satisfac- factory. Mrs Thomas, of the Old Ship Inn, applied that the license might be restored to that house. The application was refused, Mr Puleston re- marking that instead of opening, they would be glad to close another public-house in Bangor, and he thought two were quite sufficient. An application was made for a license for the Old Buck Inn, at Halghton, but it was adjourned until the Hanmer magistrates' meeting. CEFN AND RHOSYMEDRE. TRIPS.-On Monday, Mr T. H. Seacome, of the Delph Brick Works, generously gave the workmen in his employ a trip to Liverpool. We under- stand that it is the intention of the New British Iron Company to give their employes at the Wynnstay Colliery a treat in the form of a trip to Belle Vue Gardens, Manchester, on Saturday next. FOOTBALL CLUB.— On Monday evening the members of the Ruabon Rovers' Football Club held a meeting in the Wynnstay Arms, Rhos- ymedre. Mr D. Thomson was re-elected pre- sident, and Mr John Tomkins secretary. The following gentlemen are to compose the com- mittee: Mr G. F. Thomson, Penybryn Hall; Dr. Grey, Acrefair; Messrs E. Griffiths, Ruabon Maurice Evans, Acrefair William Jones, New- bridge Thos. Griffiths, Cefn; R. Johnson, W. H. Jones, and Whitehouse, Rhosymedre. COEDPOETH. I BTVLCHGWYN.—The Wesley an brethren at the above place held their annual meeting on Sunday and Monday, when able discourses were delivered by the Revs. R. Prichard and J. Morris. The at. tendance was good and the preaching effective. A HOUSE ON Fip.E.-Early on Sunday morning an alarming fire was observed In one of the houses belonging to Mr Evan Roberts, PriDce of Wales Ion, of this place. Before it had gathered strength to do much damage, some of the neigh- bours close by observed the bieakinjr out of smoke, and at once callcd attention to it. The cry of fire went rapidly through the place, and in a few moments scores of men were on the spot ready to do anything to arrest its fearful course. By their united actions they succeeded in ex- tinguishing its ravaging flames before it had done 1 much damage. THE BAPTIST CHAPEL.—The anniversary meet- ings of the above place of worship were held on Sunday and Monday last, when the following ministers officiated —Revs. J. Jones, of Fe-linfoel, Carmarthen; J. T. Morgin, Moss; and W. Ed- wards, Cefn Mawr. The discourses were able and delivered with powerful effect, and seemed to pro- duce a deep impression on the audience in general. The meetings were largely attended throughout, especially in the evenings. Col- lections were made at the evening services, and | were devoted to defray the expense necessary in- curred in connection with the meetings. THE EISTEDDVOD.-It is intended to hold here an Eisteddvod Gadeiriol," on a large scale, in the course of next summer. On Friday evening, the 5th inst., a preliminary meeting was called by the promoters, to consider the project and to form a committee, when a large number of the residents attended. After discussing many things pertain- ing to an eisteddvod, it was unanimously agreed to hold a grand eisteddvod at the end of June, 1874. The committee is numerous and influential, and represents fairly the district, and, as such, we expect the neighbourhood in general will take interest in the movement and contribute liberally towards the funds of the eisteddvod. The Gor- sedd" will be opened next Tuesday, at twelve o'clock, when the eisteddvod will be proclaimed from the Gorsedd" according to the bardic laws of the Ancient Britons, to be held 0 fewn un dydd a blwyddyn." Several eminent Welsh barda and literary men are expected to be prestni en Tuesday to go through the proceedings, and no doubt the procossion will be grand and im- posing. DENBIGH. BOROUGH SESSIONS.—At the Borough polica court, on Friday week, after our parcel was des- patched, Hugh Pierce, of Rhyl, was summoned by Sergeant Wjlde, inspector of nuisances, for allow- ing a nuisance to exist on property belonging to him situate in Abraham's lane, Denbigh. The complaint was supported by the Town Clerk, Mr F. Wynne, who stated that the propetty in question consisted of seven cottages to which there were no back premises, the ash pits and privies being in a most dilapidated condition. There was, also, no drain upon the premises, and the conse- quence was that all kinds of filth was thrown out into the public streets. The corporation had a drain through Abraham's-lane, by which means the defendant could easily make a proper drain on his own property and connect it with the main drain, but although he had beea repeatedly re- quested to do the work he had failed to comply with the notice given him. It subsequently ap- peared, however, that the dtfendant had stated the reason for the delay in doing the required work to be owing to the fact that the property was in the hands of the auctioneer for ssde, and he (defendant) merely held it in trust for sonte grand- children. Defendant had told the inspector he could get the work done if he thought proper, and charge it to the estate,—After a short consultation the Bench made an order for the whole of the re quired work to be done forthwith, and allowed the costs of the proceedings.—John Edgar, fishmonger, was summoned at the instance of the guardians of the St. Asaph Union for allowing his wifa to be- come chargeable to the parish. Defendant was living apart from his wife, who was summoned a few weeks ago for breaking his windows and other- wise annoying him, and since that occasion she had applied to the guardians for relief, and they in turn now sought to make the defendant pay to- wards her maintenance. This, however, the de- fendant was most unwilling to do, but, upon the Bench intimating that they could olly send him to gaol for a month, he finally agreed to pay 33 6d per week, Mr F. Wynne, on behalf of the guard- ians, then consenting to withdraw the case.
