Mrt; Dr Parry has collected a sum of E64 towards the Welsh Hospital for South Africa. The amount establishes a bed to he called the "Carnarvon Bed," At the St. Mary's Church, on Sunday, the "Dead March" was played on the organ by Mr Pughe Griffith in memory of the Jate Miss Owen, of Amlwch (sister of Dr W. G. Owen, now of Barry, and Mr C. Owen, chemist), who was at one time or- ganist of the church. Dr Mills Roberts, who is one of the staff of the We'sli Hospital for South Africa, was at Carnarvon on Saturday in Khaki uniform. He left by the 8.15 pjn. train for Southampton, his departure being wit- nessed by a large number of friends, who raised a cheer as the train moved out of the station. Colonel C. H. Rees has written to Colonel Pryce-Jones expressing his thanks and those of the Volunteers to the Welsh mem- bers for their action in causing the removal of the grievance felt in connection with the Queen's reception at Holyhead, when the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, although stationed at Holyhead, were not included in the arrangements for Her Ma- jesty's reception.

COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT. — On Saturday, before Dr Taylor Morgan, Mr D. P. Williams, Mr John Davies, Mr J. Issard Davies, Mr G. J. Roberts, Mr R. Roberts, and Mr T. Jones, William Jones, of Llanddeiniolen, was charged with not sending his child to school. "Mr J. B. Allanson prosecuted on behalf of the Llanddeiniolen School Board. A fine of 5s and costs was imposed.-Richard Richards, Battery, Ebenezer, was sum- moned for being drunk on licensed pre- mises. P.C. 47 said that the defendant when under the influence of drink always had soldiers on the brains (laughter). He asked witness to take him in charge as he was a deserter from the Royal Artillery. A fine of 2s 6d and costs was imposed.- .Robert Jones, Cae Corniog, ,Clwtybont, charged with being drunk on licensed pre- mises was fined 2s 6d and costs. THE CORPORATION CART AND ITS CONTENTS.—At the Borough Police Court, on Monday, before the Mayor and 'other magistrates, Catherine Gould, North Pen'rallt, was summoned, under the Town Police Clauses Act, for putting rubbish opposite an unoccupied house in -that street. The defendant admitted having placed a quantity of wall paper on the street, in readiness for the Corpora- tion cart, but the man in charge of the cart refused to take it away.—Mr E. Ro- berts, sanitary inspector, said that he saw pape:" all over the street and gave infor- mation to the police. He had on pre- vious occasions received complaints that heaps of papers were$>eing placed on the streets, and that children often put fire to them.—Replying to the Bench, witness said that Corporation carters had been instructed not. to take papers away, but simply house refuse. Notices warning householders against putting paper on the street nad been issued by the Corporation. Supt. Rowland, replying to the Bench, said that the defendant removed the paper when she was told that she was com- mitting an offence.—The Bench, after a discussion, in the course of which some difference of opinion was expressed, dis- missed the case. nrinnnr A NT EXTRAORDINARY SCHOOL BOARD CASE.—At. the Borough Police ^ourt, on Monday, before the Mayor (Mr W. J. Williams), Dr Parry (ex-Mayor), Mr .3. Hughes, Mr W. Hamer, Mr J. P. Gregory, and Mr J. R. Hughes, Elizabeth E. Edwards, Twthill square, was sum- mon< d by the School Board, for whom Mr Ball appeared, for not sending her child to school. The defendant did not appear, and was represented by a neighbour, who handed to the Bench a letter written by the Rev Father Jones, a member of the School Board. In the letter the rev. gen- tleman said that he made inquiries and had found that the defendant .was suffer- ing from a bad lee, and was unable to leave the house, the result being that the girl had been kept away from school. However, he had noticed that there had been a great improvement in the girl's at- tendance at school for some time past. He was convinced that the mother had kept the girl at home to do house work, and that the latter had not played truant. He sympathised with the mother, and hoped the Bench would deal leniently with the. case.—The Mayor thought it was father strange that the School Board should instruct the attendance officer to take proceedings and then for a mem- ber of the Board to write a letter of the kind to the Bench.—Mr Ball said that Father Jones signed the document autho- rising proceedings to be taken. The fact was that the defendant had been trilling with the Attendance Committee all along. She had not appeared before the commit- tee when requested to do so.—The defend- ant's daughter, a tall, strapping girl, in respect of whom proceedings had, been taken by the Bonrd, was then questioned by the Bench. She admitted that she was onlv in Standard I.. whereas, according to the Mavor, she ought to have been in the sixth. She said that her mother had been suffering from a. bad leg for about six months, but that she was able to go about.—Mr Btvll said that complaints bad been received' from the Education De- partment and H.M. Inspector in respect to the attendance at school, and thei Board decided some months ago to do (their utmost to bring about an improve- ment. As to the defendant he might say that he had called three or four times a week at her house.—A magistrate hoped that the School Board would do their part as well as Mr Ball had done his.—Another magistrate hoped Mr Ball would bring to the notice of the Board the letter writ- ten by the Rev Father Jones. The Board could not expect the magistrates to sup- port them when a communication of the kind was addressed to the Bench.—The case was adjourned. A SUCCESSFUL DESIGN. — The com- mittee of the National Eisteddfod, to be held in Liverpool next September, offered a prize of five guineas for the best design for the carved oak chair which will be pre- sented to the successful bard. In response, eight designs were sent in, and the Arts Committee have awarded the prize to the design bearing the 110m de plume "Re- naissance," who turns out to be Mr T. G. Thomas, of the local post office. The back of the chair has a centre panel depictive of mountain and cromlech, with a venerable harpist seated under the proverbial oak, deriving his inspiration, "Yn ngwyneb haul a llygad goleuni." The arrangement of the sun's rays represent the Eisteddfodic "nod gyfrin" (symbol). The top of the chair has a medallion, with the liver sup- ported by the "eryri" (eaglets), and sur- mounted by the Prince of Wales' plumes. The front of the arms have carved repre- sentations cf dragons' heads, and the front panel, under the seat, has the Welsh gbat's helad, and the side panels the Hirlas Horn. There are introduced also oak leaves and leeks. The chair will be at once put in hand to be made from the prize design. It should be stated that Mr Thomas' design of an oak chair was adjudicated the best at the National Eisteddfod held last at Carnar- von. BOROUGH POLICE COURT. — On Monday, before the Mayor (Mr W. J. Wil- liams), Mr E. Hughes, Dr R. Parry, Mr J. R. Hughes, Mr W. Hamer, and Mr J. P. Gregory, Jane Davies, Bank street, was fined 2s 6d and costs for using profane language. — W. Jones, junr., Ty'nygroes, Waenfawr, was summoned for riding furi- ously through the streets of the town, and was ordered to pay the costs. — Edward J. Griffith, Baptist street, and Richard Jones, Brynyfivnon, -uianrug, were fined 5s and costs and 2s 6d and costs respectively for drunkenness. Mary Bathgate for a simi- lar offence was sent to prison for 14 days. -On the application of Mr Carter, the licence of the Palace Vaults was tempor- arily transferred from Miss Williams to Miss Harriet Williams. NEGLECTING TO FENCE MACHI- NERY. — On Monday, at the Borough Police Court, the Arvon Brick and Tile Company, Ltd., were summoned by Mr Hilditch, inspector under the Factory Acts, for neglecting to fence machinery at the works. The defendants admitted the offence. Mr Hilditch said that he visited the works in March and found that the dangerous parts of an apparently new engine we're not fenced. There had been numerous cases of mutilation as the re- sult of being caught in machinery which 11 Z7 was unprotected, and he considered that the section of the Act under which the pre- sent proceedings were taken was one of the greatest importance. — The Manager of the works explained that the machinery was not fenced at the time of Mr Hilditch's visit owing to its being in an incomplete state, but since then all that was required by the Act had been done.—A fine of 10s and costs was imposed. Y.M.C.A. CONCERT. — This concert at the Pavilion on Monday next, affords all lovers of music a rare opportunity to hear some first-class talents. The soprano ar- tiste is Madame Amy Sherwin, who sang at Bangor in February last, and who, it may beremembered, was highly eulogised by the writer of Bangor Notes in these col- umns at the time. The bass vocalist, Mr David Hughes, who now, perhaps, holds the premier position among Welsh singers, is the only one of the artistes, who has, so far appeared on a Carnarvon platform. He was here at the National Eisteddfod :n 1894, and met with a splendid reception. Mr Gwilym Richards, who has gained for himself a prominent position among Welsh tenors, is an Eisteddfod artiste, and has appeared at the principal London concerts. Miss Emilie Owen has also appeared at im- portant concerts. M. Tivadar Nachez, who may be reckoned among the finest violinist in the world, is well known by his remarkable career. It is not often that a violinist is able to produce such a list of appearances before Royalty as M. Nachez. Three choirs are expected for the Male Voice Choir competition. The Bangor Male Voice Society was successful at the Queen's Hall, London, last Febru- ary, and it will be interesting to see this choir compete against a Festiniog party, led by the veteran conductor, Mr Cadwal- adr Roberts. The other is the Gwalia Choir from Liverpool. Such a programme ought surely to prove attractive, and it is to be hoped that the public will attend the concert, and at the same time lpnd sub- stantial support to a cause which is capable of doing much good in the town. Y.M.C.A. GYMNASIUM. — There was a fairly large gathering at the Drill Hall on Thursday night to witness an assault- at-arms and gymnastic competition by the members of the Y.M.C.A. Gymnasium. Rev J. W. Wynne Jones, M.A (vicar), pre- sided, and in opening the proceedings said that he did not agree with those people who, in the name of religion, condemned athletics. A gymnasium was an institu- tion which was needed at Carnarvon, and he hoped it would be well supported by the young men of the town, who were given facilities to indulge in manly exercises which would better fit them to play. the man.—Th £ drills, especially the walking and running maze, together with the di- fferent exercises, were gone through in ex- cellent style, the whole performance re- flecting the greatest credit on thle honorary instructor, Mr W. H. Jones, Castle square. Colonel Ruck, who acted as adjudicator in the competitions, said that he was delighted and surprised to find such a class of gym- nasts in the town; and indeed, as one looked at the men it was impossible not to remark what a fine manly bearing was the result of the winter's work. Miss Rees, Plas Brereton; distributed medals to the, successful competitors, who, in order of merit, were as follows: Seniors.—W.Drink- water, R. P. Davies. Juniors.-D. 0. Edwards, T H. Gregory, R. Rees Jones— A pleasant variety of entertainments had been provided; a vocal duett by the Misses Jones (Tegfryn), a mandoline solo by Mr W. Watkin Williams, chorus by the Y,M.C.A. Male Voice Choir, and cutlass eixercise by two instructors of the R.N. Reserve, Messrs Perry' a.nd Kennar, being especially enjoyed by the audience. The class wishing to show their appreciation of the work done by their instructor, pre- sented Mr Jones with a dressing case, the best thanks of the Y.M.C.A. being tendered at the same time by the chairman of the association to Mr Jones for his untiring labours and for the excellent work done in connection with the gymnasium. The Vicar proposed that it would be fitting after recent events to sing "God Bless the Prince of Wale's," after which the proceed- ings were closed by singing the National Anthem. <
I BANGOR
I BANGOR The Rev W. Edwards, M.A., senior Vicar of Bangor, was the preacher at a special Lenten service held on Thursday evening at the Cathedral. The Trinity Board steamer "Irene," which piloted the Queen irom Holyhead to Kingstown, has this week been anchoring off Bangor. At a meeting of the governing bodly of the Dolgelley County School, on Friday, it was reported that there were six applica- tions for the post of assistant master. With one exception the applicants were unable to take Welsh as a classical subject, and it was decided to write Mr R. Jones, Up- per Bangor, one of the applicants, request- ing an interview. ENGLISH WESLEYAN CHAPEL. — The Rev H. Parker, of Headingley College, Leeds, has been appointed pastor of the English Wesleyan Chapel in succession to the Rev Frank Edwards, who has left the city to act as chaplain in Sir Redvers Bul- ler's forces, The new pastor preached his inaugural sermon on Sunday to a large con- gregation. x uOTBALL CLUB. — A circular which has been issued to members of the club by the executive committee states that the ex- penses of the club had during the season been heavy. It was feared that owing to the decrease throughout the season in the gate receipts of the club (which was the ccmplaint of other clubs throughout the country), the balance in the club's favour must unfortunately be a small one. SUPPER. — The first annual supper in connection with the Upper Bangor Foot- ball Club took place on Monday evening, at .the Wicklow House. Subsequently a concert took place, Mr W. R. Gregson pre- siding. The following sustained an excel- lent programme: — Messrs R. Pritchard, W R. Lewis, Bert. Gregson, J. H. Phillips, R. Hughes, T. Parry, W. J. Daniel, and J. Pritchard. The accompanist was Mr H. Parry. COMPETITIVE MEETING.—In connec- tion with the Tabernacle Chapel, a juvenile competitive meeting took place on Monday evening, Mr David Williams, High street, presiding. Mr E. Hurren Harding, Mus. Bac., was the musical adjudicator; and Mr E. G. Owen, Greenwich House, the accom- panist. Songs were rendered by Miss Hel- ena Dora Jones, Miss Ceridwen Jones, and Miss Annie Williiams. TOWN IMPROVEMENTS. — An im- provement which has been greatly apprecia- ted has been carried out in the pleasure grounds approaching the pier. The head wall has been removed, and in its place there are light pillars and chains. By way of Easter attractions, there has been en- gaged a company of vocalists and instrumen- tshsts under the direction of Mr Buxton. Easter week promises to be very successful, and the bookings at the various hotels are gcod. MENAI ASSOCIATION OF TEACH- ERS. — A quarterly meeting of the mem- bers of this association was held on Satur- day at the Rechabite Hall, Mr J. G. Jones, Llanllechid, presiding. Mr Tegarty, the honorary secretary, presented reports re- specting joint meetings with other associa- tions. All were of a favourable character, and it was agreed that they should be in- corporated. — It was decided that the as- sociation should continue its connection with the North Wales District Union. — It was arranged that the next meeting should be called before the conference of teachers convened by the CarnarvonCounty Council. WEDNESDAY HALF HOLIDAY MOVEMENT. — At a largely attended public meeting of the shop assistants of the city, held on Thursday evening at the Cen- tral Cafe, Mr J. G. Jones (Victoria House) presiding, a discussion took place as to whether a local union should be formed in the town in connection with the above as- sistants. On the proposal of Mr Fred Watson, who referred to the many advan- tages to be derived, it was decided to form a local union, and that the subscription should be Is for each assistant. Mr Da- vies (Star Supply Stores) urged that the as- sistants should join the National Union, but no decision was arrived at on that point. — It was agreed to hold a smoking concert on April 25th, at the Wicklow House, the proceeds to be in aid of the funds of the movement. TWRGWYN CHAPEL DEBATING SO- CIETY.—This debating society brought a most successful' season to a close on Friday evening, when the members sat down to a splendid repast prepared by Mrs Hughes, Wicklow House. The tables having been cleared, a miscellaneous concert was held under the presidency of Mr Pentir Williams. Songs were contributed by Miss Hetty Jones and Messrs T. G. Jones and O. T. Pritchard; Miss Williams, Bryngwyn, act- ing ac accompanist. Recitations were given by Mr E. O. Jones aiM Mr R. Stephen Jones, and addresses by Messrs Ed. Wil- liams, Griffith Humphreys, and Frank Lewis. After passing a hearty vote of thanks to the caterers and the artistes, an enjoyable evening was brought to a close with the ainging of the National Anthem. COUNTY COURT. — On Monday, his Honour Sir Horatio Lloyd heard an action in which J. R. Brown, master printer, Ban- gor, was sued by three of his employees for a fortnight's wages in lieu of notice. Mr Huw Rowland was for the plaintiffs, and Mr S. R. Dew for the defendant. For the plaintiffs, it was contended that they were entitled to a fortnight's notice according to the custom of the trade, the defendant setting up that no such notices were re- quired, and that the plaintiffs had received full notice of the intended transfer of his business to a local liability company. His Honour held that the question of custom had not been proved, and entered judgment for the plaintiffs for a week's wages and costs.—H. Aronson, jeweller, Manchester, sued A. Rozen, Bangor, for value of goods supplied whilst acting as traveller. The de- fendant eounterclaimed for commission. Mr Allanson (Carnarvon) was for the plain- tiff, and Mr S. R. Dew for the defendant. After a hearing of considerable length, the Judge gave judgment in favour of the plain- tiff, remarking that he had great difficulty in believing either side. — O. Parry, farm labourer, sued Charlotte Williams, Tyddyn Dicwm Farm, near Bangor, for £1 3s in re- spect of wages. Mr J. A. Rodwav (Messrs Hughes-Pritchard, Rodway and Elias) ap- peared for the defendant, and Mr S. R. Dew for the plaintiff. The judge entered judgment for the plaintiff. PETTY SESSIONS. — Tuesday.

HOLYHEAD
HOLYHEAD PASTORAL INVITATION.—The Welsh Baptist Cliuroh, Kingsland, have invited the Rev D. Lloyd, Rhydwyn, Anglesey, to undertake the pastorate of their church. Mr Lloyd has accepted the invitation, and will commence his duties at once. SCHOOL BOARD.-The ordinary meet- ing was held' last week.—A lad, who stated that he was in the 5th standard, appeared before the Board with a request: that he might be allowed to go to work. | The Clerk explained that the boy must at- tend school according to law. A resolu- tion was passed, on the motion of the Rev John Williams, seconded by the Rev Wm. Griffith, that they were unable to allow anyone to remain from school unless they had passed the age or standard require- ments.—A precept was agreed to that would bring in JE497 19s 2d. The rate was fixed at 4d in the t. In connection with evening continuation schools -a id rate was 4 agreed upon. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—The ordi- nary meeting of the above Board was held at the Valley Workhouse, on Tuesday, Mr J. Lloyd Griffith, M.A., presiding.—Mr James E. Hughes (clerk) reported that the following amounts had been paid in out- relief during the past fortnight: -Holy- head, jE77 15s 6d; decrease, C2 16s, to 3u3 paupers. Aberffraw, t47 17s; increase, 8s, to 177 paupers. Bodedern, jE48 Is 2d; increase, jEl 8s 8d, to 198 paupers. Num- ber in the house, 81, against 64 for the cor- responding period last year.-A letter was read from the Local Government Board drawing attention to Mr Bircham's report in November last regarding the want of accommodation for female inmates in the house. The Board wished to know what steps were being taken to provide addi- tional accommodation for female paupers at the workhouse. It was resolved that a reply be sent intimating that the matter was under consideration, and that the number of inmates were decreasing.-—Mr J. Lloyd Griffith called attention to what he considered an -excessive supply of milk to the house. The amount consumed was estimated at 5 quarts (including sweet and butter milk) during the fortnight per head for paupers and officers. Mr Gardner considered that the amount used was ex- r ce-ssive. The matter .was dropped.—The question of appointing an industrial trainer for the house was under considera- tion. Applications were received from two candidates, viz.. Miss Alice Williams, Efail Bach, Bodwrog, and Miss Jane Ro- berts, Valley. Neither applicant came up to the standard required in regard to age, but as the matter was a pressing one, Miss Alice Williams was appointed. DEATH OF CAPTAIN THOMSON. — This week it is our painful duty to record the death of Captain Thomson, late of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, who passed away on Saturday night, after a severe lilness. Captain Thomson was a man who was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. 'His kindn?ss and charity to the poor of the neighbourhood were well-known, and his loss will be keenly felt by all in the town and neigh- bourhood. He joined the City of Dublin Company as far back as 1851, his first ves- sel being the "Iron Duke, running from Liverpool with mails. In the same year, however, he left the City of Dublin Com- pany, and joined the Cork Steamship Com- pany, in order to better his position. After being with the latter company for about three years he rejoined the City of Dublin Company, and was appointed third officer of the "Leinster." In 1862 he was j promoted to the position cf sscond officer, I and after discharging these duties for about three years, he was sent to the Liv- erpool line of steamers, as chief officr. Five years later he returned to Holyhead as chief officer of the "C#nnaught," which duty he discharged for about eight years, then he was given command of the "Prince of Wales." The steamer was ply- ing between Liverpool and Menai Bridge. Afterwards he was sent to the Citv of Dub- lin steamers plying between North Wall j and Liverpool, and was during that period captain of the "Roval William." In 1888 he was sent from Liverpool to Holyhead to take command of the "Munster." In con- sequence of advancing years and a some- what prolonged illness, some five or more years ago Captain Thomson decided to re- tire from the service. The officers and men who had erved with him and under him did not allow the occasion of his re- tirement to pass without making him a presentation, as a small token of the re- gard in which he was held by them. The pr?«ent consisted of a handsome tea and I coffee service of old Irish design, and was presented by Hiaginson. The interment took place on Wednesdav, pt St. Seiriol's Church, where a large crowd cf people had congregated in order to witness the burial. CANTATA.—The cantata "The Life of Christ'' was performed at the GwynfaWes- leyan Chapel on Mopdav evening, by a choir under the leadership of Mr W. S. Owen. The chair was occupied bv Mr H. Gwynedd Williams. Th& meeting was commenced by singing a hymn, and Mr D. D. Davies (Newborough), lay agent of the circuit, offered prayer. Befcre calling the chairman to take the chair, Inspector J. Jones, Holborn road, said that, they had 1a very pleasant duty to perform. The Juvenile Class Society at Gwynfa were go- ing to present Hr W. S. Owen; their class leader and choir conductor, with gold spectacles. An address was read on be- half of the children by Master J. BIythyn Jones, and the classes were presented by Master W. Longfield Jones. Both acted as treasurer and secretary respectively to the movement. Mr W. S. Owen accepted the handsome present and expressed his deepest thanks for their kindness. Mr H. ) Parry Jones introduced the chairman, and J Mr Gwynedd Williams gave a most appro- ) priate address. The following took part j in the cantata —Readers Mr J. Jones, i Holborn road: Mrs Williams, Blue Bell; Mr Edward Williams, Mrs Jones, Rock street; Mr R. Beard, Mr H. P. Jones, Mrs Hughes, Gwynfa Miss Jennie Jones, Holborn road; Mrs Jones, Noddfa Mr J. Beard, Miss Mattie Jones, Mrs Alice Mr R. Williams. The following took part Owen, Mr J. E. Jonep, Mr O. B. James, Mr R. Williams. The following took part in the musical section: -Quartette, Miss | Jennie Jones, Mrs S. Williams, Mr J. E. I Jones, Mr R. Williams. Duet, Misses Ida j Mary Williams and Mary Jones, Station j street. SoTos, Miss Polly Evans, Mr R. J Williams, Hawthorn terrace; Mr W. S. Ow?n, and Master W. Longfield Jones. j Accompanists, Miss Alia G. Jones and Mr D. D. Davies (lay agent). Short addres- ""ç were delivered at the close of the meet- ing by the Rev O. Hughes, superintend- ■ ent of the circuit; Mr R. Hughes, super- intendent of Bethel Sunday School; and f Mr W. Hughes (America). The perform- a^ce was most interesting and impressive. The meeting was closed by the Rev O. t Hughes offering a prayer. VALLEY PETTY SESSIONS.-Monda,y. I —Before the Rev John Richards (chair- c man), Dr E. P. Edwards, Mr John 1 Lewis, and Mr R. Gardner, j TRANSFERS.—Mr T. R. Evans applied F for a transfer of the license of the Free- masons' Inn, Holyhead, to Miss Roberts. The application was granted.—The same boliicitor applied for a temporary transfer of the license of the Dublin Packet Inn, Holyhead, from Mr Samuel Higgins to Mrs Young, formerly mistress of the Roman Catholic School at Holyhead.

I BANGOR
by Company Sergeant John Coates with selling a belt forming part of his accoutre- ments, and Hugh Hughes was summoned for buying the same in public-house at Bethesda. The purchase was admitted, Hughes stating that the militiaman repre- sented that he had left the Army and was working in a coalpit in Soutjt Wales.—P.C. 37 said that on the evening of the purchase Hughes gave him the belt saying that he had been misled, Davies having represented that he had left the militia, and was in need of food. This statement was corroborated by Griffith Williams, Grey street, Bethesda, who said that Davies pressed Hughes to buy the belt for a shilling. There was nothing to show that Davies was a member of the nrilitia.—The summons against Hughes was dismissed, and Davies was nanded over to the military police.—Upon a charge of buy- ing a paiir of boots from a militiaman at Bethesda, John Ellis Jones, Glangors, Bethesda, was fined 2s 6d and costs. CHARGE AGAINST A PUBLICAN.— Richard Wiltshire, licensee of the Liverpool Exchange, Upper Bangor, for whom Mr H. Lloyd Carter appeared, was summoned for selling drink during prohibited hours. Mr Huw Rowland representing two of the per- sons summoned for being on the premises. Mr S. R. Dew prosecuted for the police. The house was visited at 11.45 p.m. on March 27th, complaints having been made to the police. The attention of P.S. Davies and P.C. Mason was attracted by some conversation going on in the house, and after some delay the door was opened, and two men named McLennan and Alfred Lobb were found sitting on a sofa in the back kitchen. There were glasses before them, and both were under the influence of drink. Upon being interrogated the licensee said that the men were his guests, and that they had not been served after hours. Upon the arrival of the police there was a bolt down the alley leading to Glanrafon Hill, four men clearing out of the house. Two, one of whom Sergeant Davies identified, got away, and the others returned to the house j where they were found in the kitchen. Mr Lloyd Carter submitted that as there had been no consumption of liquor after closing j hours there had been no contravention of the licensing laws. In this case the four men, instead of sitting quietly, lost their i heads and bolted out of the house, being afraid of the police. There was no keeping open for sale, as the doors were locked, and the bar closed. McLennan and Lobb had engaged beds in the house.—The Bench held that the case against the house had not been made out, and dismissed the sum- mons an application by lvir H. Lloyd Car- ter for the costs of the day being refused. -As regarded the summonses against the three persons, Mr Rowland said that they were persons in a responsible and respec- table position. They were the guests of the landlord, and had a right to remain as leng as they liked; but hearing the police demanding the admission they lost their heads and took to their heels. There was no proof that they had been served with drink after eleven o'clock. — The landlord and his wife were called to prove that the defendants were served with supper and had no liquor after closing hours. Mr Dew (to Mrs Wiltshire): Are McLennan and LGbb, who live close to you, here to-day? -Witness: No.—Mr Dew: I thought not. —Mr Rowland: You should not make a re- mark of that kind simply to prejudice my clients, who are respectable men, and are not here to-day simply because they can- not be.—Mr Witlshire, in regly to Mr J. Evan Roberts, said that McLennan paid tor his bed! and supper.—The Bench said tba they were unanimous in finding that, charge had been proved, and fined each .de- fendant 10s and costs.—Mr Clegg did not sit during the hearing of this case. PROFANE LANGUAGE.-John Morris, a young man from Bethesda, was charged by D.C.O. Harris with using profane lan- guage at Bethesda.—He was fined 5s and C°DRUNKENNESS.—Henry Evans.
