I The first business on the agenda was the considera- tion of the report of the Widows and Orphans' Charity, which was submitted by Mr R. J. Sisson. There were twenty-five renewed applications for grants ranging from E15 to £30, amounting to £625. There were four new applications for grants, amount. ir.g to iE65, all of which were granted. There was a batance from last year's account amounting to B93 103 OJ. The subscriptions and offertories amounted to about £ 320, and interest on money E395. There was available. for grants and donations £762 10s 3J. The grants and donations in 1889 were 2650. Archdeacon Thomas proposed, and the Rev. Hugh Jones. Llangadfan, seconded the adoption of the report, which waJ adopted. Canon Howel Evans said it was satisfactory to know that they would be enabled to increase the donations by ten per cent, there being an increase of subscriptions, and not as for some years previous a decrealP. Mr Dugdale thought the annual reports might be sent direct from St. Asaph to the clergy and laity rather than aa was the custom at present to send them through the Rural Deans. It was considered that the postage would be too great an expenditue. His Lordship said he had three remarks to make on the question, the first being that the rural deans had sufficient already to do, and he would be glad to relieve them, and secondly if the reports were posted there would be no delay or doubt as to the receipt, and thirdly, that the Rural Deans might forget the report, and he thought that information should be given aa soon and aa direct aa possible. Mr Scott Bankes a thought the reports did not contain the required information up to date, because of dalay in paying subscriptions. The Vicar of Abergele had postponed the annual collection until a more convenient and more profitable season when visitors were about. He thought it was so with others, and that was why the subscriptions did not come in to the date mentioned. It was resolved to eend the report direct from St. Asaph. THE DIOCESAN CHURCH BUILDING SOCIETY. The meeting then considered the funds and grants > of this Scciety. On the sub-committees of the Society the following alterations and additions were made- To Llanrwst E. Samuelson and Major Sandbach were added at Wrexham Dr, Williams was added in the stead of the late Sir Evan Morris; to Ojweatry 0. J. Jones was added. The elected members of the executive committee whose term of office had expired were-Lord Harlech, Sir W. Williams Wynn. B:u.. Capt. Mytton, Mr Stanley Leighton. M.P., Canons Hugh Jones and Richardson, and they were re-elected. The Rev. H. Jonea waa added to the Dyffrjn Clwyd sub com- mittee. Mr Scott Bankes proposed that in order to secure a more correct balance sheet of the yearly income and expenditure, the first meeting of diocesan committees be held in February instead of as at present in January. He thought it advisable as far as possible that the grants of the Society should be made with the money subecribed during that particular year At present they dealt with money before they had it in hand, making grants with money they hoped to receive. He thought they should make grants up to the amount they received during the year for which they were dealing. They should hold two meetinga in the year that the money was collected, and if there was an insufficient amount, they might get an increase of subscriptions by having two or three good preachers and make collections, and make each year pay for itself. Archdeacon Williams thought the society could not ask its subscribers to hold their money over it they did not p:.y to time, they must tike the subscriptions when convenient to tha subscribers, their present system might appear unbusinesslike, but they could not conduct the business better on the whole. The Rev. the Warlen thought Air Bankes measured the subscriptions ia the same manner as rates and taxes, and if they had a County Court at their backs that might answe-. S me people would subscribe mote at different times of the year, and they must consider th* subscribers' convenience. Is was decided to allow matters to remain as at presen*. J GRAKT3 TO NEW CHURCHES. I' On the recommendation ot the Executive Com- mitte. the follovving graitg wera allavved to restored or new churches at Caerfallwch, £ 50; Hope (Peny. ff,-)r,d"), 220; Llanferras, 275 Llangystenyn, £ 25; Pennant (Penybont Fawr), E25. The applications for supplemental grai.ti were considered. Llanelidan, Vale of Clwyd, restored church, grant allowed in 1888 £ 100, original estimate JE695, expenditure £786, defi- ciency £ 79, B20 was allowed. Wrexham, Sr. David's, new church, grant voted 1888 2100, estimate 21,700, expenditure kl,892, subscriptions 21,224, deficiency EP,68, grant voted £20.-0!1 the motion of Mr Scott Bankes. seconded by Archdeacon Thomas, the recom- mendations were passed. Archdeacon Thomas proposed that no grant be made to a church before a satisfactory report on the material and workmanship shall have been received from the Diocesan Surveyor. He knew of cases where the money had been paid, and the work was executed very unsatisfactorily. That state of things might be changed if the Surveyor inspected the work before the grant was made. Archdeacon Williams thoughts the architect must have neglected his work in the cases mentioned, when he certified to the proper completion of the work when it had not been properly finished. Canon Howell Evans was inclined to believe that there had been too much" scamped" work passed. It was difficult to get a cletk of the works that examined the progress of the work and the materials employed honestly. He knew a case where the progress of work had been stopped by calling in a clerk of the works who ordered most of the timber off the land, it being unfit to put in a building. Mr Dugdale thought a clerk of the works to be of any value, would be obliged to be on the works the whole of the time, and that would mean an additional expenditure, he thought it might be left to the Executive Committee as heretofore. Sir Robert Cunliffe suggested that they might communicate with the Incorporated Church Building Society, London, and ascertain what mode of procedure had been taken elsewhere. The Bishop thought they should Lot employ local men as clerks of the work, but employ strangers. He wanted them when they undertook work to employ good men and get the work accomplished properly. He thought a stranger would be stricter and see that the work was carried out in a satisfactory manner, and they would thus get out of the difficulty. It was resolved that the matter be referred to the Committee for them to secure the opinion of the Incorporated Church Building Society on the matt:!r. The Bishop mentioned that in the last ten years M,000 had been voted in grants, and that during the last forty years a million of money had been spent in that small diocese on the erecti m and restoration of churches. THE CHURCH EXTENSION SOCIETY. Mr Pennant read the statement of accounts for 1889, and stated that at the end of the year the Society hoped to have a balance in hand of £100. The report stated—" It is clear that the increased work of the Society cannot be maintained unleaa the improve- ment in the subscription list ia also maintained, and it may not be inopportune to remind all those in. terested in warding off the attacks that are being made on the revenues of tire church, that there is no more effectual method of church defence than an ex- hibition on the part of churchmen of their earnest care to provide for the spiritual needs of the people in the rapidly increasing populous districts of the country." (Applause.)—On the proposal of Arch- deacon Howell, seconded by Captain Mytton, the re- port and statement of accounts was adopted.—The Rev. J. Dickson, Aberhafesp, applied for a grant for the services of a curate at Bwlchyffridd, Montgomery- shire, which, he said, was a centre of political Non- conformity. After some discussion it was agreed to grant 210 DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCATION.—THE INTERMEDIATE EDUCATION ACT AND NATIONAL SCHOOLS. The Rev. Elias Owen submitted his report for the year ending April, 1890, from which we gather that the estimated number of church schools in the diocese was 292. It was to be lamented that six pupil teachers received no special religious instruction. The number of children on the school book was 26,537, and an average attendance 19,602. There were presented at examination 21,697. Out of the number on the books 29 were withdrawn from religious education, and 32 children were withdrawn from part of the religious instruction. The number of pupil teachers educated in Scripture was 174, they came from 95 schools. During the year the following schools had been enlarged or improved :-Osweetry Ragged School cost 2160-accommodation 25; Llanrhos, 235-accom- modation 40; Bucklsy, 2160-accommod-.tion 40; Rbrl, Vale-road, 298-accommodation 60 Overton, £400. New teachers houses had been erected at Derwen, 2160, Bryneglwys, £2.50. The improvements at Overton were due to Mr Peel, of Brynypys. The other undertakings were accomplished by local and other contributions. The total sum expended since 1880 up to date for the erection of school builings were £ 18,832; cost of teachers houses during the same period £ 1,650, total £ 20,482. There had been spent j on schools during the past year £853, and on teachers' houses £410, total 221,745. There had heen a slight falling off in the school nam* reen a slight f!Alling off in tbe school nom- bera during the last year, so that the school year could hardly be considered ? normal one. Whilst the Llanwddyn Watnworb were proceeding, two schools were in operation in that parish. The village school disappeared, but he Liverpool Corporation erected a commodious edifice in a convenient place to meet the educational wanti of that parish. There were 216 excellent or good I schools, as regards religious education, in the dioceee. He had to cnnplain, however, bat the catechi m and liturgy did not receive be general attention that their importance entitled them t The number of pupil teachers employed was 160, 128 of whom presented themselves for exaniinat on. He failed t) see why there should be a single absentee. All attended the Government examination, and they might also be in- duced to attend the annual scriptural examination. The result of the examination last May was most satisfactory, and there were a greater number of excellent papers sent in than upon any previous year. Out of the 174 teachers presented, seveaty-four took first-class prizes. Ou reviewing the work in the scboo18 for the last year. he was pleased to say that it had a healthy tone. But that a crisis had arrived was evident, for the requirements of the new Code were more in number. Still, as the voluntary school had survived, and exhibited a vit dity equal toJ paife emergencies, they would no doubt be able ti grapple with the code of the present year. On the motion of Dr. Tumour, who spoke of the comprehensive nature of the report, seconded by Col. H. R. Hughes, the report was adopted. The annual report of the Diocesan Board of Education was then read by the Secretary, the Rev. T. Lloyd Williams. The report stated :—The past year has been one of exceptional anxiety to all those who took an iutere3t in Church schools. In the case of a large number of schools in the diocese there is the prospect of serious diminution of income. a Managers have of late been threatened with the withdrawal of sever* 1 charities upon which they have been accustomed to count. Your committee cannot but express the great injury the proposed transfer, if carried out, would inflict upon elementary schools in the diocese, and they venture to express their strong conviction that it is most unjust ti transfer to higher education those charities which have been applied for many years and with much success to the cause of elementary education. The Bettun Charity has been of invaluable service to small country schools, and your committee would strongly urge the inexpediency, to say the least-, of the proposed ciiange in the disposal of the funds. There is another source from which a serious losa may be count!d upon at no distant date. The Welsh Intermediate EJucation Act is now on the statute book, and the Joint Education Committee appointed under the provisions of that Act have lately been holding inquiries as to the educational and other charities that may be made applicable for tie purposes of the Act, as the funds that have ueen found available have been wholly in- adequate to launch the scheme of intermediate Education, it is all but certain fiat all the charities that are legally available will be made use of for this purpose. The sums that will thus be drawn from the struggling country schools will make it very much more difficult for the managera of these school s to carry them on, whilst the requirements of the new code will add considerably to the already heavy burdens of the manager?. Special grants under the new code were promised t) small country schoola, whilst the requirements are very stringent. If the schools were to meet the requirements of the new CJde they would require an efficient staff of teachera and suitable appliances which could not he procured without a more generous and prompt assistance on beh alf of the diocese at large. The number of parishes that had assisted the Board by offertoriei, &c., bad risen from 74 in 1888 to 106 in 1889, but there were 200 parishes in the diicese. Owing to the laxity displayed on behalf of subscriber". the grants could not be paid, and the Diocesan Inspector's salary was often overdue. They were glad to report that there had been an increase in the offertories aud collections during the year. £100 had been received to form m Bishop Hughes prize as a memorial of the late Bishop. The Committee expressed its heartfelt thanks to the Rev. Daniel Edwards for faithful services to that Board for the last ten years. They were pleued to state that Lieut.-Col. Hore, of St. Asaph, would continue to be lay secretary. On the motion of Sir Robert Cunliffe, seconded by Mr Pennant, the report was adapted. The Bishop said that if the endowments of their schools were taken away they should have to appeal for increased support. When the Intermediate Education Act was passed power was given to levy id rate. but the Government had since, under the Extra Spirit Act. given Wales another ii rate. so that really the amount now available for Intermediate Education was double what it waa before. As Churchmen they should take up perfectly sound, honest, and therefore strong ground upon the question. They were really making a great fight for their voluntary school?, and because they believed in religious instruction. (Applause.) It was of no use fighting for such a principle unless they saw that the education was right down good. (Hear, hear.) The question depended upon the clergy, and they must all be earnest in the matter. (Applause.) A rev. gentleman said the Dissenters would resent the parson going to the schools, especially if they thought the catechism was said. He thought it best to leave it alone, for the clergyman was in a peculiar position. His Lordship said he cared not what religious instruction was given provided it was given. Mr T. Clayton said he was a large ratepayer, and thus paid to the Board Schools, and he also subscribed to the National Schools, and if they were not to gain distinct church teaching he wih. d to know why they should subscribe to the schools ?
ITHR DUNLO DIVORCE SUIT.
I THR DUNLO DIVORCE SUIT. At Friday's proceedings in the Dunlo divorce suit, the most important witness was Mr Marmaduke Wood, an officer in the Somersetshire Militia. He admitted in cross-examination that at the Lyric Club on the previous night he said that he, Lord Albert Osborne and Lord Dunlo had tossed up for the possession of the lady, and that the lot fell to Lord Dunlo. He also made a serious allegation against Lord A. Osborne, who is now in Ceylon. At the close of the petitioner's case, Mr L?ckwood opened for he respondent, saying that Lady Dunlo would cter the box and deny the charge against her. Mr Gill followed on behalf of Mr Wertheimer. The suit was resumed on Monday. Mr Gill, in concluding his address on behalf of Mr Wertheimer, said Lady Dunlo had been treated infamously, and submitted that the private detectives had deliberately iied. Lady Dunlo having entered the witness box, said she first became acquainted with Weston in 1887, and had a child in the follow- ing year. She had refused an offer of marriage by Wertheimer, and had not been intimate with him. She also denied having any relations with Lord Albert Osborne, and said she never told the witness Wood that Lord Dunlo would win the case easily. Witness was under cross-examination when the Court adjourned. On Tuesday Lady Dunlo's cross-examination was concluded. Mr Wertheimer, the co-respondent, emphatically denied that there had ever been any improper relations between himself and Lady Dunlo. Lord Dunlo was re-called, and denied the statement that he, Lord Albert Osborne, and Mr Marmaduke Wood tossed for Belle Bilton. This concluded the evidence, and the case was again adjourned. The case was brought to a close on Wednesday Sir James fiannen's summing up was in favor of the respondent, and the jury, after a quarter of an hour's consultation, found that Lady Dunlo had not committed adultery with the co-respondent. The suit was dismissed with costs.
LABOR AND WAGES.
LABOR AND WAGES. The Aberdeen cabmen's strike, which has lasted for a week, has collapsed, the larger employers having withstood the men's demands. The men have agreed to abandon the union. The miners and mechanics employed at the Ferndale Collieries, Rhondda Valley, have been granted the nine hours a day asked for. MINERS' WAGES. Noticea have been received by the Lancashire colliery owners from the men's organisation remind. ing them that the second 5 per cent. advance in wages is due on the 1st proximo, and asking if they are prepared to concede it in accordance with the decision of the conference between masters and men in March last. The men have instructions from their Federation to strike in all instance* where the advance is not given. This makes 40 per cent. increase in wages since 1888.
ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.
ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Minister of the Interior has directed the local authorities to prevent foreign missionaries in Russia from carrying on religious propaganda, as is done at present among the Jews in Poland to the detriment of the exclusive right of propaganda possessed by the Orthodox Church. On Sunday evening upwards of 20,000 persons gathered at Nelson's Colamn, Glasgow to protest against foiBting a Liturgy or Popish Mass Book on the Church of Scotland." The chief speakers were the Rev. Mr Primmer and Rev. Mr Thomson. A large body of police were present, but the proceed- ings passed off quietly. Almost the same number of handa were held up for the resolution and the amendment, and the proceedings terminated amidst laughter. All the Baptist Associations in Wales, except those for the counties of Pembroke and Monmouth, have practically agreed to the proposed amalgama- tion of the Colleges at Haverfordwest and Ponty. pool. The question is, however, regarded as by no means settled, as the opposition to the Bcheme in the counties where the Colleges are placed may hinder the final settlement. The Rev. T. T. Lucius Morgan, St. Peter's Church, Dulwich-common, London, has been appointed Diocesan Organiser of the Church of England Temperance Society for the Diocese of St. Asaph. Mr Luciua Morgan, who was originally in connection with the Presbyterians at Beaumaris, is well known as one of the most promising of the younger clergy.

I LOCAL CASES AT CHESTER ASSIZES. I M0UL30N V UOCLSON AND ANOTHER. At the Chester iVss;zes on A-ionday, before Lor,i Chief Justice ColeriJ^e, tiii4 caae, which was an action for damages for slander, was heard. Mr Marshall (instructed by Mr Cartwright, of Chester) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Honoratus Llnyd (instructed by Mr Aahton Bradley, Wrexham), de. fended. o wing to a paucity of jurors only eight gentlemen answered to their name?, and by consent the case was heard with a jury cf that number. Mr Marshaii, in opening, said that in this case the piaiiitiff, Mrs Oelin* Fiancea Ioulson, brought an action for damages for slander against Mr Charles Henry Moulson, her brother-in-law, and Mr John Lswis, a grjom, employed by her mother-in-law. The plaintiff was the wile of Mr Wm. Edward Spuratow Moulson, and had been married 16 yearr., who at the time of his marriage, which took place at South. ampton was a private soldier in the army. \f'cr leaving the army he obtaine I employment, and this he left at the invitation of his mother, who had by then come into a considet able i-um of money, and she undertook to mak e an allowance for plaintiff's hus- band ail wen as her ct ler son. Tins was done, and both socs came to live in Wrexham, and she gave to each £1 per week. As far as his client's husband was corcernid it wai true that he was not as pteady as he might be. and the money Wä8 pai 1 to the plaintiff This went on until about Christmas last, when thi plaintiff heard a rumor, which was the foundation of the present action, which wai that the two defendants had said to 31ra Moul on, senr that the plaintiff at the time she was married waa a prostitute on the streets in Southampton, and that her husband married her knowing that to be the fact. There was no foundation to justify that statement. The plaintiff had never been a woman of the character indicated, and she had always been a hard-working woman. Sh9 had three chi:dren, and had carried on a business to support her family. Ut-on hearing of the rumor, she had au it.tirview with her mother-in-law, when her husband and the defendant MmUon were present. His client's husband asked his brother if there was any truth in the report he had heard, that he had made the statement in question to his mother. That this was so was admitted. M a Moulson, senr., said that she had heard it. and that they intimated theycou' d prove it. She said she would not make any further allowance until plaintiff cleared her character. That. therefore, left her no option, but, however reluctant she might be. to take that action to defend her character. Plaintiff instructed her solicitor t) writs to the defendants, and that was done. That lter asked for an apology but it was not forthcoming, and so the proceedings were begun. The defence was that not only was the wrong meaning gi ven to the alleged word-, but a denial was given to the fact that they were spoken. Ha would be able to prove that the words were used, and urgpd that only one construction could be placed upon them. William E. spuratow Alouison saia ne was too husband of the plaintiff to the action. They were married sixteen years ago in Newport, Isle cf Wight, and he had lived with her since. Witness was r.ot in the Army at the time of the marriage, but had been some time before. After the marriage he lived in Liverpool, and was employed there, earning about 30s or 2-2 per week, with which he supported his wife and family. At the invitation of his mother he gave up that situation and came to live in Wrexham. She promised to give him ki psr week, and that money I waa paid to his wife until Christmas last. Owing to what he bad heard, he went to see the defendant Lewis, his mother's groom, on December 28th. He also saw bis mother and all together. He asked what defendant had spoken to Mr Stubbs, on Saturday, December 21st, about his wife. He then made the statement complained of, adding that she had followed the soldiers for three yearp. He also said she was a factory girl. Witness asked him if he had made the statement to his (witness') mother. Defendant said he had, so also had witness' brother, and added that they could prove it. Witness then left, and sub- sequently took Mr Subb8. who was brother-in law to a farmer living at Pcnybryn farm, near Wrexham, to his brother, and charged him with uttering the alander. At first he denied it, but when witness said he would have to go to law defendant said be had repeated it, and also said he could prove it. Witness also saw his mother, who said the allowance wou:d be stopped until the matter was cleared up. He made another visit to his mother's house, and saw her in the dining room in the presence of his brother. His brother then wanted to know what the slander waa. Witness said hp should know if anyone should. Defendant then struck him in the face, and Lewis also assaulted him. Witness, who did not retaliate, ran out, and got away as fast as he could. Cross-examined by Mr Lloyd: Before his marriage he went to London, but not as a clerk. It was true that his mother had bought him out of the army, but not immediately he joined. It waa nearly three years afterwards. After this marriage he came to live at Conway, and worked as a time keeper on the railway. His mother did not take the home for him nor furnish H. She did nothing at all for him there. She did, however, take him and his wife to Fairfield, Liver- pool. It was not true that while there his wife struck Mrs Moulson, and they were not turned out. He then went to Kirkdale, but his mother did not find him with anything, in fact, she took things from him. Mr Lloyd Did you take to duck ?-.Ni), not then. His Lordship What do you mean by that ? Witness I did not drink at that time. His Lodship What do you mean by that time ?" Witness (aiter a pause) The reason wa- I was a Good Templar at that time, and so I was not taking anything. Cross-examination (continued): He joined the Good Temp'.ars in the Isle of Wight, and belonged to it for gome years. He ceased to belong to them in 1878. He was then living in Green Lane, Liverpool. Mr Lloyd Did njt your mother take you in at f I Fairfield out of pity. Witness (sharply; No. His Lordship (to Mr Lloyd): You see you put In out of pity." (Laughter.) Mr Lloyd repeated his question in another form, leaving out the words "out of pity." Witness said she did not. It was certainly not true that she furnished a house for him. Mr Lloyd You are quite surprised at that. (Laughter) Witness Yea, I am. Continuing, witness said his wife left him about that time on account of a row ¡ with her mother-in-law. His wife was away about eighteen months. It was true that he had been con- victed for assaulting her. Mr Lloyd: And you served seven daya Witness LNo, I never did. Mr Lloyd I beg yout pardon, I mean you served a month for assaulting her. j Witness: xes. uonunumg, he said that at this time there was no judicial separation. He then came to his mother, who was living in Fairfield, his wife going tu Portsmouth. When she came back she and witness went to Seacombe. where he was employed. His mother did nothing for him there. In July, 1884, there was a deed of separation drawn between witness and his wife. They were then living at Seacombe. This deed was obtained in consequence of a dispute between his wife and his mother, which led to a dis- pute between witness and hia wife owing to him taking j his mother's part against his wife. He was convicted for an assault upon his wife, and, as he had said, he served one month's imprisonment. After that they made it up," and lived together about two years. At the end ef this time his mother came into a sum of money, and she went to live in Wrexham at h:a uncle's house, which was her property. Witness and his wife went to live at Johnstown, Ruabon. Hahadil no business there, but was brought there by hia mother to look after her aSair?, in return for which j she promised to pay him 21 per week. This money had nothing more to do with his wife, except that it was for the keep of the family. He first had 17s a week, but it was eventually raised to 21. Witness emphati- cally said that the money was for the house, and had nothing to do with him. It was true that he often t received the money, but it was because they came to live at Red Wither, and the distance was too far for his wife to come to town every week. Mr Lloyd Since living there have there not been a good many disturbances ?—No. Have you not served a week's imprisonment for a disturbance at your mother's house ?-No. Did you go to your mother's house, and did you assault the policeman who was sent for to turn you away?—I did assault the police officer, because they could not do anything else with me. Continuing, he said that he had not smashed things in his mother's green-hous*. It was true he had met Lewis there, and he told him he was not to go further. They wrestled together, and some things got broken. He knew that his mother had given orders that he was I not to be admitted. Asked how it was, then, that he came to wrestle with the groom, witness said that it was not to be supposed that a groom was to be allowed to prevent him seeing his mother. He went again and saw his mother. It was not true that he had got through a window, nor had he been found sitting in the dining room in a state of intoxication. It was true that hia brother sat up with him when he had an attack of delirium tremens. That was through his mother, who had promised to give 250 to each son. Witness had had £30, and there waa M to come. He bought some pigs, and when he went to his mother for the money with which to pay for them she refused. She went to the auctioneer and made a great statement about witness, and he was so annoyed that he took a litt!e more than he should, with the result that delirium tremens set in. He said his mother took everything under the will, and he waa paid for looking after her affairs. Mr Lloyd But she gives orders not to see you ? Witness Then she should pay the pound a week, or give a week's notice. Mr Lloyd Was it because she would not pay the money that you had delirium tremens for a night ? Witness No, it waa not do. His Lordship said that some money was apparently due to him, but he failed to see about the delirium. Witness explained that not being able to pay for the pig. caused him to drink, and the drink caused the delirium. Hia Lordship: I do not understand why you should have had delirium tremens ? Witness said he was in want of the money, which he failed to get. His Lordship And you went into delirium tremens ? Witness Yes, my lord. His Lordship In fact you had what they call a bout of it. (Laughter.) Witne's, in reply to Mr Lloyd, said his mother did not pay for the pigs for bim, but secured them for herself. She lost money over the transaction. His Lordship We are still far off the slander. Mr Lloyd There is, my lord, the allegation of the stoppage of kl per week. His Lordship That cannot be damage to her. It appears to me that very likely the money was stopped because of the pigs. The witness waa asked farther questions about the money, when the Judge said This is an action for slander on the wife in the presence of the mother tha mother withholds the money from the man how is that to be connected with the slander ? Mr Marshall pointed out that the money was paid to the plaintiff week by week. Mr Lloyd asked permission to cross-examine upon the question of the money later on if necessary. His Lordship conset-ticl. .\ir Marshall sai 1 that the money was stopped until plaintiff had cleared her character. His Lordship said that was probably an act of unrational reasoning on the part of the plaintiff. Air Lloyd prodnced the book containing a record of the payments. Witness said it was headed Mrs Moulson in account with Spurstow Mou'son." The receipti were initialed by himself sometimes. The money was paid at times by Mr Cooper, from Mr Ailington Hughes' office in Wrexham, and as the distance waa far from his house he came for it instead of his wife. I His Lordship said that many of the items were initialed by witness and several by his wife. A juror asked if there was any agreement, and his I Lordship explained at length the law of the case. Witnesp, in the course of his re-examination said, while at Liverpool he was employed by Messrs. lemay. Iinri3, and Co., as a checker. At that time he waa supporting his mother, his wife and family. Hia mother was living in a house belonging to his uncle, and kept lodgers, but the-e were few in number. Mra Selina Frances Mou'son, the plaintiff, waa next called, and she explained among other tilings that the money was usually paid to her, but her husband sometimes got it, because of the distance from her house to town. She referred t I the alleged slander, and said that from the first she was willing to accept an apology. Cross-examined She did not get a Miss Penk to write anonymous (letters to Mrs Zrlou.son. It was true that the letters were received about the time the money was stopped. She had been accused of writing the letters by Mr Allington Hughes, but she knew nothing about them. She received one at the same time. Mr Lloyd asked if she knew who wrote them. Witness said she did not, but a servant named Tilston had told her that she knew who had. Witness had tried hard to find her, but in vain. The letters were most disgraceful. His Lordship: I daresay. Anonymous writing generally is. Witness said her husband was given a sum of money. but she never knew how much he received. His Lordship said this was very mysterious. Het.rv Stubbs, living with Mr Charles Davies, Penybryn Farm, near Wrexham, was called, but nothing of importance was elicited, objection being taken to hii evidence by Mr Lloyd. This was the case fcr the plaintiff. Mr Lloyd submitted that there was no case to answer. His Lordship failed to see that there was one either. Mr Marshall urged that owing to the slander the money which was paid by the mother to the wife was stopped. His Lordship said he did not see that there was any connection between any loss and the plaintiff. He thought that it was a case which might have been settled by consultation between counsel. He sug- gested that a juror should be withdrawn, and the defendants should express regret for the words, if they were ever used. Ultimately a juror was withdrawn, and the cue terminated. I A RUABON CASE. I On Monday, the Lord Chief Justice heard the case of Jones and others v. Great Western Railway Com- pany, which waa an action for damages under Lord Campbell's Act. The plaintiffs were Ann Jones, widow, and Sarah Elizabeth Jones, Annie Jonea. and Amy Jones. infants, by Ann Jones, their next friend, the widow and children of John Robert Jones, deceased, who wai killed on the Great Western Rail- way, near Ruabon, on September 30th, 1839. The deceased was in the employ of Messrs Monk and Newell, terra cotts and brick manufacturers, Ruabon. and it was alleged that through the defendants' negligence in moving a truck upon which the deceased waa lawfully standing, he was killed, and the action was for the recovery of damages, £ 1,000. Mr Bowen Rowland. Q.C., M.P., and Mr Honoratus Lloyd, instructed by Mr Llewelyn Kenrick. Ruabon, was for the plaintiff*, and Mr Clement Higgins, Q.C., instructed by Mr R. Nelson, London, wAs for the defendants. Mr Bowen Rowlands opened the case, from which it appeared that there was a siding running from the works to the main line, and on September 3Oh the deceased was engaged in packing bricks in a truck, forming one of a train which was being shunted. In accordance with the usual custom the men sat down on the trucks while they were in motion. After the train had been backed in, and was at a standstill, deceased seems to have thought the shunting was at an end, and stood up to resume his packing, when it was suddenly started, and the jerk threw him over the side, when several wagons ran over him, killing him. It was contended by the learned counsel that an engine whistle or caution of some sort should have I been given, and was generally given, and that by a negligent departure from the ordinary proceeding the man was thrown over and killed. Edward Griffiths, a packer, employed by Messrs Monk and Newell, explained the practice at the works, and said cn the date named no whistla waa sounded when the train was started the second time. John Thomap, an employ^ at the same works, said he was in a truck, and when the first movement took place he sat down. The train stopped, and he think- ing that it would not again move was rising to go on with his work when the wagon was shifted and he was knocked down inside it. He heard no whistle. Hit Lordship here intimated that to his mind the question was whether the whistle was blown or not. Wm. Williams, a terra-cotta finisher for Messrs Monk and Newell, and Alfred and Thos. Osmond, I now of the Pant Works, said that they never heard the engine wbiaile when the train was moved the second time. After hearing Mrs Ann -Tones, the widow, who said she had three children, and that her husband earned El per week, the case for the plainteff waa closed. Mr Clement Higgins opened the ciie for the de. fence, the basis of which was, first, that the plaintiff knew the ilk he was in, and that, as he took the emplol niet-t knowing the danger, the claim for dam- ages was bad. Peter Lrewe, a machmeman at Ruabon, employed by the defendants, said fie driver blew his whistle twice loudly. In reply to Mr Bjwen Rowlands, he said that on Tuesday week he saw Mr Ken rick, the solicitor for the plaintiff, but he did not tsli hiir. t iat he could not undertake t ) swear whether the engine j driver whistled or not. He had been about to leave the employ of the Company because he was below the standard of height, but ha was now remaining on. I Edward William Tatler, the brakesman of the train, said he could not swear whether the whi-tla was blown or not. Ar.tbony Appleton, the driver, and wi!h thirty-two years' experience, said he whistled first t) have the signals off to enable him to have a clear road, and as he started, which was shortly afterwards, he touched the whistle. Francis William Franks, the fireman with Appleton, said the engine whistled. Jonathan Price, a signalman at Ruabon Station, said he heard the whistling. During the examination of the witnesses, his Lord- ship said it was the defendants' duty to cause notice to be given that they were going to start the train. If they had given that noticp, he would have said there was no case, but the fact of a person under- taking a duty that was dangerous did not invalidate a right to claim for injuries arising from the negligence of others. The jury, after retirement, found a verdict for plaintiffs, and awarded damages of £300, divided into -0150 for the widow and 250 each for the children. AN UNACTED PLAY AT RHYL. I RICHARDS V. ROEBUCK. I This cape was heard on Wednesday before the Lord Chief Justice. Mr D Jug-Ias was for the plaintiff, and Mr H. Lloyd for the defendant. For the plaintiff it was stated that the plaintiff, whose professional name is Marie Hannen, contracted with the defendant, who was the lessee of the Win!er Gardens, Rhyl, to have a theatrical performance in those gardens on June 1 4th, 1889. The two were to divide the pronti in equal shares, the plaintiff undertaking to get together a company, and the defendant to furnish the hall and a,herti8 the pl&ys. which included The Wanderer's Return and another. Plaintiff engaged a company, and sent defendant show bills of the leading actors. She paid various amounts to these members of the company, and she had a rehearsal arranged. In the meantime, she found that not only had the defendant neglected to advertise the performance, but had let the Winter Gardens to another party for a promenade concert for the night in question. By this conduct she had incurred great loss. Letters asking for an explanation had been sent by the plaintiff's solicitor, but no answer had been received. Hence this action was brought for breach of contract. On the part of the defendant it was urged that plaintiff, who was the wife of an innkeeper at Wrexham, and Sergeant- Major of the Denbighshire Yeomanry Cavalry, had herself repudiated the engagement, asking to have the date changed, as she found the cavalry would not be in Rhyl on the date in question, as had been expected. There were no documents produced on either aide, with the exception of a dated show bill and a copy of The Stage." The case was tned without a jury.— His Lordship said the evidence was conflicting, and he must find for the defendant.
