SUDDEN DEATH AT PRESTATYN.
SUDDEN DEATH AT PRESTATYN. Coroner and the Duty of the Public. On Tuesday evening at the Town Hall, Mr J. Roberts-Jones conducted an inquiry into the death of Hugh Jones, milk dealer, Meirion House, Prestatyn, whose body was found by his son in a stream near Warren Road at noon on Monday. The jurymen were as follows Mr Frank Jewell (foreman), Rev. J. Kelly, Rev. Lewys Davies, Messrs, Geo. Jones, Wm. Evans, J. Gratton, J. M. Hughes, W. J. Williams, J. O. Clarke, T. G. Tucker, W. D. Jones, D. Hughes, Wm. Wheway, and Joseph Davies. After the jury had viewed the body, the first witness called was Richard Jones, draper, Prestat) n, who identified the body as that of his father, aged 66. Witness stated deceased had been subject to fainting fits, and had also had a slight stroke. He had been medically attended fur some time, and complained on Monday morning of not feeling very well. His father not being at home when witness went to dinner at about 12-15, he went in search of him, and found his body in the stream near the shippon. There were two pails near by, one filled with water on the bank, and the other in the stream. The body was not totally covered by the water, and there were marks on the brook side as though deceased had slipped. In reply to the Coroner as to whether he moved the body, witness said he did not. He could see his father was dead, and he became confused. Witness did not know what position he might be placed in legally if he moved the body, and he therefore went for the police. .1 The Coroner said he was anxious it should be known that the idea of anyone not being allowed to touch a body until the arrival of the police was utterly wrong. He did Dot want to blame witness, as he had evidently acted so in his confusion. But it was quite possible that some lives might be saved if people examined a body and see if anything could be done before fetching the police. P.O. John Cheney gave evidence as to being called by the previous witness. He went to the spot mentioned, and there found the body in about 15 ins. of water. Deceased was lying on his right side, one portion of the face being above water. The body was then removed. Dr. E. C. Wimberley, Prestatyn, said he had attended deceased for the past four years, and he had beeiL subject to fainting fits. In fact witness had seen him in these fits. He had aiso a diseased heart, and witness was inclined to say he died from syncope. Elias Roberts, 19, Albert Terrace, testified to seeing deceased alive at 9 a.m. on Monday. The coroner briefly summed up, and the jury without retiring, brought in a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence-that death was due to heart failure. On the proposition of the Rev. J. Kelly, a vote of sympathy was passed with the relatives in their bereavement, the coroner undertaking to forward the same. The funeral took place at Rhyl on Thurs- day afternoon. Before the cortege left Prestatyn a short service was held at the house, this being conducted by Revs. J. Kelly and W. O. Evans. At Rhyl, Rev. 0. J. Davies (Vicar of Prestatyn) conducted the service both at Trinity Church and at the graveside, the interment being at the old cemetery. Deceased had resided at Prestatyn for about 10 years, having previously lived in Rhyl. He was a faithful and prominent member of the Wesleyan cause, in connection with which he had held several offices, and used to attend Horeb Chapel. Deceased was well versed in the history of Wesleyanism in this circuit, and was well-known and much respected in the neighbourhood. Much sympathy is felt for the family in their bereavement, especially so as the widow has been bedridden for some months past.

PRESTATYN LICENSING .SESSIONS.
PRESTATYN LICENSING SESSIONS. Adjourned licensing sessions were held on Wednesday before a full bench, the magistrates being Messrs. S. Perks (in the chair), J. Foulkes, R. C. Enyon, G. A. Taverner, Thos. Jones, and W. Bulcock. At the previous sessions the renewal of the licence of the White Lion Inn, Glanrafon, was deferred, a temporary licence only being granted. This case again occupied the attention of the Bench, Richard Williams, applying for a renewal and transfer of the licence. Mr Joseph Lloyd appeared for the applicant, Mr Porter for Sir Pyers Mostyn (owner of the house), and Mr Roberts Jones opposed the application on behalf of the Llanasa Free Church Council and the Overseers of Llanasa. Mr Roberts Jones said the objections were based on the ground that the premises were unnecessary, unsuitable, and not easy of access for police supervision. There were 2 licensed houses in. Gwespyt, 3 in Berthengam, 2 in Lianasa, 3 in Ffynnongroew, and 1 in Gronant. In Glanrafon itself there were only 22 houses, with a population of 72, including men, women, and children. There was no place of worship, no school, and only the tiniest of tiny shops. The White Lion was not on the route of tourists, and there were too many doors there for proper police supervision. Several transfers had taken place, and the tenants usually followed some other occupation, which tended to shew that the place did not pay. At the previous court a man was fined for being drunk on these premises, and this shewed that the conduct of the place was not as it should have been. Resolutions in favour of the abolition of the licence had been passed by 13 re- ligious and public bodies in the neighbourhood, which shewed an overwhelming opinion against the licence. His clients did not wish to harm the present tenant, who took the nouse suojeci to tne transier being granted. Mr T. G. Jones gave evidence in support of the opposition. He considered there was no need for a public house in Glanrafon. It was a tied house to a certain extent, and the tenants usually carried on some other business. One tenant used to sell paraffin oil (laughter). Mr Lloyd To be consnmed off the premises I suppose ? (loud laughter). Mr Lloyd objected to witness handing in a resolution of the Lianasa Parish Council, on account of it being a copy only. Resuming, witness said he had lived in Glanrafon for 11 years, but he never used the house. He had seen several people come from the house drunk, but he had not complained to the police. He had often been to the place on business. In reply to a question as to where he would go for brandy in case of sickness, witness replied he kept it in the house for medicinal purposes. Mr Richard Owen, Llanasa, gave similar evidence. Dr. Lloyd Owen said there were 10 licensed houses within a radius of 111 miles, without the White Lion. His opinion was that there was no need for the house. Asked by Mr Lloyd for his opinion on alcohol, witness said it was a powerful drug. In some cases it was beneficial as a medicine, while in other cases it was harmful only a medical man could say in what case it would be useful. Rev. Meurig Jones gave evidence as chairman of the Free Church Council. He considered it would be beneficial to the neighbourhood if the White Lion licence was o done away with. Mr O. W. Ellis, assistant overseer, was called to give evidence on behalf of that body. Revs. E. Pierce and 0. B. Jones also supported the opposition. Rev. R. J. Stevenson put in a petition against the licence. This was signed by 139 inhabitants, a number of whom resided in Glanrafon. In placing his case before the bench, Mr Lloyd commented upon the fact that all the evidence they had heard had come from teetotallers," and, with one exception, none of whom lived in Glanrafon. He called his client to testify that 8t 18-gallon casks of beer had been sold, on an average, each week during the month he had been in the house. That was sufficient evidence that the house was necessary and desirable. His instructions were that the population of the neighbourhood was 438, 400 of whom resided nearer to this public house than to any other. The applicant bore out his advocate's statement, and said the nearest public house to his was It miles away. About 40 people usually visited his house each night between 5 and 10 p.m. Applicant handed in a petition in favour of the licence, signed on the premises by 60 or 70 of his customers. Superintendent Jones was called by the chairman, and he said the house was not in a good state of repair neither in nor out, and the sanitary arrangements were very bad. He would not venture an opinion as to whether the house was needed or not. Mr Lloyd announced that if the licence was renewed, an undertaking would be given that the house would be put in a. proper state of repair. The magistrates retired, and after a few minutes' deliberation they announced that the licence would be renewed and a full transfer granted, on the understanding that r the necessary repairs, etc., would be carried out within three months.
