The defendant had his hand in h: socket, and when he withdrew at witness felt it, and said, "That's enough." 'iie exact words which the de- fendant m ule use of were, "As long as you say, Thorn;- that I have broken the win- do ^t I am billing to pay for it." By the urmanr. He accused the defen- dant of thFi. niag the stone because h;6 right hajid w^a-i < r ered with soil and gravel. He tOER-minod t 5 hands of all the men. « By Mr 1 sloberts (Aber): It was a cloudy night. In repl; to further questions, witness darned th; t he had ever jeered at the de- fendant a his companions. He had been t^io' 'eprimanded for beating boys, ha- that ba-i peoed soma time ago. He did not zxxw a stuck, that being a general tuJi- in th ? .:orce at present. At this age the Bench retired, and trben they returned the Chairman an- tsouaiced ti;. j they would hear the evidesce far the deie^ice. Mr Gc<«, :• 1 &aid that llÓ; client passed Owen's ho > arm-in-arm with a frtend, and directly tJ f v did so they heard a sound of glass 11 real: g. Then a policeman.came on the scene. Two men had passed in front, airni they -ased the policeman, and when the consftab'# was tfdkjing to these young fellows, tv others passed, aiartg the side of the tenoe, i d went out of sight. It was a. wet night, nd that would sufficiently iW- oount for t -e wet condition of the defen- dants han i'. Fortuuately, a witness would be called fy; the defence who was with the defendant, ~nd he wduld say that through- out h, s co)xv arsation w'ith the constable the defendant inied throwing the stone. In tho c • .rtee of his evidence the defen- dant deni< having thrown the stone. Two men were > 4r the piaice at the time, awl they ran av .v. The officer then came there and asked.

The policeman had spoken to witness rter he had been in Owen's liou&e.—A revering Mr S. R. Dew, the de-- feii'iant. Si he oonclvided that the officer thought ti it wa& he who broke the wm- dtow. but L" never accused ,him of throwing the .st&ne. At the time the policeman came up to Mes- Owen's house there were only foux preo.i ■ not five. The pocket of the mackint 8s 'ie wore that night was not wet nor dtd he irry gravel in his pocket. He had nogra/f. in Liahand, and he contented that th.i.& -7. > shown by the rcfusjii of the officer to t" mine his hand in the light. Robert Thomas said that he accompanied the defendant on Christmas- night when thf-y pa. se: the house in whkh Owen lived. Ho heard the window being smashed. There •reore ooopk. in front And behind them. "When- the t acer spoke to them, two men passed by e iWail on the lt-ft éde of the roed, walking; as fast afi they could. The I constable v :edj who broke the window, and the deifwu- t denied it at once. After he examined defendant's hands, the officer sai l, "Th*r eaomgli," but the defendant A—- As And cfcred ) to .show his hands in the light. The Je- I fendant was invited into Owen's house.— In reply to Mr Dew, witness said he did not pass the pal icanum before the window was smaished. The men who sneaked away came__from the direction of Bethesda, the police otacor coming from the opposite road. \v itness always walked arm-in-arm with the defendant when they proceeded up that road. The Chairman announced that there was an element oi doubt (n the case, WIDCll would therefore 00 dismi -seel. In the opin- ion of the majority'of the j'istices the casq had not been satisfactorily proved. CASES NOT PROCEEDED WITH. Considerable argument, between the soÎJ- Oitors involvexi n the cases and the Bench toc<k place lunch a-> to charges of com- mitting breaches of the peace preferred against John Griffith, Thomas W lliams, Griffith Williams, and David. Griffith. As thtfce cage's aa'a^e out of the incident, which WîIíô narrated in the previous case, Mr \V. Geon;-ge w;cs!;ittcd that it wciuld be useless to proceed with them. The Bench, concurre-d. and said that they would not oe prcooeiied With. This decision was received with applause, Mr Dew protested against this demonstra- tion. The Chairman, intimated that these per- sons who interrupted would be removed from ecku-L. LVCITING TO VIOLENCE. Davi'd Thomas, of Pare y Mocn., was charged under the county by-laws with in- citing to violence. Mr Dew &aid he thought the Bench would find the oharge proved, and in that event he asked for an. exemplary penalty. On Christ- mas Day, he said, there was a good deal of excitement in the (bstrict, and about three o'clock in the afternoon two officers on duty at Tregarth saw a large crowd of men not working at the quarry at present near the. Penygroes Chapel. They were gOJlg down tiorward«i the station, and were boohing ana shouting. Davd Thomas was in front of tho cravfd, and shouted "Come along boys, let jid go for the d The officers no- txxd, Thomas pcinting towards Tanrhiw terrace, and heaiti him. say, "There are the traitors. Soma men now employed in the qu.trry resided in that terrace. P.O. Roks stated that on the afternoon of Oiulstmas Day he was cm duty in, Tre- garth, when he saw some men engaged at the quarry playing football in a field. In the adjoini-n^ held was a crowd of strikers, who were ooohmg, shouting, and thraw ing atones. The men playing football were obliged tc( leave the field. The witness went towards Tamrhiw terrace and met a man named J. i1. Jones, who- had been struck on the head! with a stone, and was bleeding very much. Near the Penygroos Chapc-J he safw a large crowd of stri kers who were using threatening language. P.O. Jones, now stationed at Tregarth, gave confirmatory evidence. He said hat I when the workmen were driven from the football field the strikers ran into the woods and dared the constable to follow them. He did not go after them, as he. would have baeti öt.:med if he had done so. Mr Wi'dliaza Gec**ge said that nothing bad been proved against the defendant except a little horseplay and exuberant spirits on a holiday. The defendant was called, and stated that, when he saw the man, J. T Jones, who had been referred to, in the footcail field, Jones said, "Do you see this, ,ou d and showed him a pistol. The crowd then nan towards the polceman, and the officers were told that Jones had put a* pistol io. h/s (the defendant's) face. Rooert Richard Thomas also gave evidence for the defence. The. Bench, after a, ten minutes' absence, convicted tha defendant and fined him 20s and ootts, ordering him to find two sureties of P-5 eich to keep the, peace for six months. A DiMTsXTTIVE OFFENDER. William Williams, nine years of age, was charge" i witn wilful damage by stone oil row- ing. I Mr Dew, who prosecuted, said it was often .'stated that the crowds at Bethesda I were o>mpo^ed only of clHdren, and child- ren. e% e-a or this age, were capable of doing that which was wrong, and of course know- I ingly doing so. About half-past twelve oiled; on the afternoon of December 27th a crowd of children were opposite the snop < of Mi* Jones., Cambrian House, and were I throwing sods and turf. Mr Jones saw the aefealamt throw a stone which broke h. s window and alighted in a box of sweets in- side :he Window. It would suffice, so tar as the police were concerned, if the magis- trates would address a waiftiaug to the boy, but iiiey felt that the moral effect of a dis- missal without some punishment being in- flicted in a case in which a boy had teen diweovered m the act of breaking a window wo'ild be deleterious in the district.' ;;l.r Jones, Cambrian House., Bethesdn, bore out the openling statement. Mr D.. Davies, Beth«>da, for the de- fendant, called evidence showing that it was by accj dent that the window was broken, tlie defendant being engaged ,at the time in throwing sods at son 10 of hi s companions. The Chairman rebuked the defendant, and ordered his father to make good the damage done. MORE STONE THROWING. Owen Jones, a striker, was summoned for stone throwing. Sir S. R- Dew said that the defendant was seen uy P.O. Lloyd to throw a stone was seen uy P.O. Lloyd to throw a stone in the direction of a number of workmen who were being escorted home from their work, and the missile dropped a few yards from tlie workmen.. To the officer he ga/ a false addrees, this mis-statement giving the police considerable trouble.. P.C. Llayd (50) sajid that on Decernb ;t 20th he escorted a few working quarrymen. from Pant to their homes, and they were followed by a number of people. Ho looked round in time to find the defendant throwiing a stone in the direction of the men he was escorting, and he went up to the defesdant and asked him for his name and address. He denied having thrown the stone, and called a few friendis who had been following the workmen to corroborate "Ph statement. He gave his name and ad- dress liP, Owen Jones, 3, Carneddb road. Witness had made inquiries, and found that his statement regarding his place or residence was false. The de-fendant fed been working in South Wales. — Cross- exajn' ned by Mr W. George The summon, was taken out on December 28th. He could not help the hardship which, had. been initected on the defendant by reason of the fact that he was unable to return to South Wales with his fellow-workmen. The work- men d'id not observe the stone being thrown Mr George submitted that his client did throw the stone out of bravado, not wi>h any intention of hitting the man. Stons throwing might be A reprehensible thing, but no otferce was committed unless foot passengers were obstructed or njurfVi. The Bench characterised tho act com- mitted bv the defendant as a silly one, but in view of the fact that he had been pre- vented from returning to South Wales, and might probably lose his situation, he would only be fined 5s and' costs. A ROW AT RACHUB. The following persons were charged with committing a breach of the county by-l-tw- by "usina: violent language, 'gesture or con- dtict with intent to put in fear or so as to occasion a breach of the peace: "—Robert Jones (two charges), Richard Jeoies, Wil- !ism Morris Owen, Owen Hughes, David DftTtflB. aad Thomas Williams. In opening Mr S. R. Dew explained that 1 whilst a. number of men were being escorted home, on December 26th, they were fol- lowed by a number of strikers, including the defendants. He would not distinguish be tween the men, but Richard Jones, Owen Hughes, Robert Rifchardi Jones, and El.&>- Williams took a prominent part in ston 111. and kicking these men, and in using violent language. Mr George: There is no Elias Williams •dhar^ed. Mr Dew: Well, he ought to have be< n charged, according to my Instructions. Richard R. Davies, a marker at the Pon- rhyn Quarry, and residing at Llanllecmd, said that on December 26th Ie, together with several returned quarry men, was cs corted home by a number of police can- stabies. When near Tanyffridu he saw several running in their direction. The de- fendant Davies commenced to throw stores in the direction of the men who were being escorted. Just as he was entering Raohu'i Square witness was struck on the back. By the Bench: David Dawes was the only man in the crowd whom he did not then recognise. He did not accuse Thomas Williams of throwing a stone. Answering Mr D. G. Davies, who ap- peared for Robert Jows and O. Hughe.s. w, tness jswd that he did not see either or these defendants throwing stones, but be heard the former swearing. David Griffith, Pant, a returned quarry- man, deposed to the defendant Hugh en seiz- eng his arm, an action which frightened him (laughter). The workmen were followed by the crowd, who indulged in stone throw- ing, and he himself saw Richard Jones hurl- tng a gtone. He also saw W. Morris Owen and David Datvtes throw stones in the direction of the workmen. The crowd was threatening. The following uay the polioe made inquirlteS about the crowd, and he mentioned three of the defendants, whú had thrown stones after him. By Mr D. G. Davies: He heard t)w..n. Hughes using violent language. Mr Davies: What did he say ?—Witne « Hellish Boers (ironical laughter). Proceed ing, witness &a*d that Robert Jones made use of most abusive language. John Henry Jones, Llwyn Pendu, a re- turned quarry man, gave evidence as to stone throwing by Robert Jones. Is con- sequence of the stone throwing witness W.'Æ in, bodily fear. William Jones, Brynhafod y Worn, a quarryman working at the Penrhyn Quar- ries Thomas T. Owen, Rachub, another quarryman; John Williams, Caellwyi"- grydd, also a Penrhyn quarryman, gave evidence as to being assailed by the defen- dants, the latter statihg that he was kicked on the thigh by Robert Jones, and was m fear owing to the stone throwing. Robert Nicholas Roberts, Rynys, Rach- ub, who is also working at the Penrhyn Quarries, gave corroborative evidence, and that he was struck on the arm by a atone. At s:x o'clock the court adjourned until Friday. (S)

IMR LLOYD GEORGE. M.P., AT…
I MR LLOYD GEORGE. M.P., AT BRISTOL. UNDISTURBED MEETING.. COST OF THE WAR. On Monday evening, Mr D. Lloyd George, M.P., attended a meeting at the Vestry Hall. St. Philip's, Bristol, which had been convened at the instance of members of tho Bristol (.or. ciliation Committee, the Women's Liberal Association, the Operatives' Radical Associa- tion, and other local organisations. Elabor- ate precautions were taken lor the protection of the buiiding and preservation of order. Windows were barricaded, and cordons of police were, two hours before ibe meeting, drawn, across the thoroughfares converging on the main entrance. Early in the.Tjnmg handbills were dijtributed in the streets, ccr. taining tho following:—"Assemble in your thousands to protest in an orderly manner against this tricky attempt to hold a pro-Boer meeting in the heart of our old city, to pre- judice the country's cause and strengthen the hands of Britain's bitter foe. God save the King." To Mr Lloyd George a telegram was sent, addressed to Lloyd George, Esq., St. Philip's Vestry Hall, Bristol," as follows: — That Bristol will go one better than we,did. and crack your skull, is the sincere wish of all Bit mingham." The doors of the Vestry Hall were opened at six o'clock, two hours before the time an- nounced for speeches to commence, and very speedily the hall was quickly filled, admittance being by tickets, which were printed, per- forated, and signed' by the acting secretary. At the doors there were numerous stewards on duty, and in the body of tho hall button-hole badges, some red and others white, were freely worn. Time paused uneventfully, tho period of waiting being enlivened by the singing of political songa to familiar airs, leaflets contain- ing the verses having been scattered amongst the audience. The hall, which holds 2.000 people, was crowded when speeches ve'e started. Councillor W. Jennings presided. Mr Lloyd George, who was received with loud cheers, which were answered by counter- cheers by the crowds outside the hall, said that he had to congratulate those assembled upon being able to hold a meeting at all in this free country. II was true that the papers in this country had been using their opportu- nities very freely to prove that black was white, and the result was that black was still black, and that black was growing blacker. 1h.. clouds were darkening, ana one day the storm would burst, and even these papers would then find that black, after all, was black (cheers). Lord Rosebery f>aid at the end of his great speech at Chesterfield that in this country they liked a man who spoke his mind (cheera, and a voice: "Sometimes"). There were pares in this country were they did not (cheers). For himself he had come to Bristol a,t the invita- tion of a number of citizens to discuss a public question of great and urgent importance, and he had found it necessary in order to discuss that that they should barricade their hall, and that they should trust not to argument, but very largely to the well-developed muscles of their own friends in the town. That was a dis- giaceful position. After centuries of struggles in this country, we were yet in the position in which argument was thrust aside, and we were to trust to sheer brute force—not to the mind and the intellect, which God in a greater or less degree had endowed most of us with. What did war mean? It means casting aside 1 reason, though1, and intellect, and resorting to vidence--to murder (cheers) for that was about what it was (hear, hear). That day a London paper bad published an article which he regarded as an
INCITtMENT TO RIOT.
INCITtMENT TO RIOT. ("Shamo!"). That was the sort of thing that he wanted to protest against (cheers). Could anyone explain those disturbances? If the other side had confidence in their case, why could they not trust <the commonsense of the people? Those people knew very well that their attacks upon the arguments of himself and .his friends were baseless, and that they had good ground for their position with regard ) to the war. People of that sort were afraid j of trusting the facts and arguments they ad- vanced to tbe judgment of a calm nation (cheers). What was the crime of himself and his friends? They had suggested peace, (cheers). But Lord Kitchener had suggested peace, the man who was facing the war day by day, and doing it bravely (cheers). If we had left the war to be settled by Lord Kit- chener ("It would have been done") and by Buller (cheers) it woujd have been done in May, 1900. General Buller wanted to make peace, but the brave gentlemen in their arm- chairs at home said No." In February last Lord Kitchener sent for the other bra-ye man. General Botha (cheers), and the latter seemed satisfied with the terms offered them. WI. was not peace mado (cries of "Chambsrl-vn" I and "Judas")? Judas only finished himself, but this man had finished thousands. Mr Chamberlain prevented peace in South Africa. People were murdering each other, snd the I price had to be paid by us and our children* children for generations. Mean-.vhile, Messrs | K\noch and Co. had declared a 10 per cent. bonus ("Shame!") Was it treason to suggest 1 ts»B"is in which the general in command of the British forces in South Africa proposed in February last ("Only in Birmingham")? I They had a different king in Birmingham (laughter). The terms which Lord Rosebery suggested at Chesterfield were the very terms the poor pro-Boers had been urging upon iheii country for months (cheer.;).' He believed that the time would come when the rage of the people would be turned against those who led them into -air, and not against those who tried to stop it (cheers). Assuming the most favourable aspect of things, no one believed that this war was coming to an end during the South African summer. Our only hope, the hope of the most sanguine, was confined to a collapse some time during the next winter. That mfant that the war would be over about July. The next, step would be briaging the pi isonera back and. would they advise the Government to withdraw any troops until they knew what the men would do when they came back? No home, no property, all their cattle swept away, tho very irrigation works they made in order to be able to farm at all, destroyed, the place a perfect desert, many of their children dead — were wo sure these men would come back to become loyal British subjects (Voices: "="YN:" another Voice, "Do you blame them ?")? Would it riot be madness on the part of any British commander or the Colonial Secretary to send the troops home — that was, assuming that they were not going to give the men free- dom — until they knew exactly what these men wert. going to do; whether they were going to snatch their buried Mausers and go into the f¡"ld? How long would it take before these people were going to settle down—
WAS TWO YEARS TOO MUCm
WAS TWO YEARS TOO MUCm If we could not get any substantial number of our troops from South Africa before the period he bad referred to, the bill by then would be £ 400,000,COO. But were they i sure that tha Boers would bo beaten I -4 I by next winter? The cost of the war, in- stead of diminishing, was increasing year by year. In the firii place, the men were getting more expensive. We had to pay 5s a day to men who were sometimes not as effective as the men we had for Is Id a day bofore. Then we bad devastated the country and had to im- port food from America and other parts of I the world. If the Boers, therefore, were not broken in tke coming winter tho bill we should have to face would be £ 500,900,000; and av sumitig we had beaten them it would be neces- ,■ sarv to keep a garrison there estimated at from 60,000 to 100,000. Then we had rifiseil up animosities in Europe, and he said this oa the tesiimony of Lord Rcsobery—(Voice: you believe in the Boers?")—Well, he be- lieved the Boers were human. No nation had a monopoly of scoundrels (Voice: "Well, do you believe in the Boers?" laughter. fol- lowed by interruption and shouts of Turn him out"). But not a braver race than tbe Boers would they fiud (cheers), and courage covered a multitude of sins. All this pre- judice against us throughout Europe was compelling us to increase our ordinary arma- ments. and we should add to the taxation of this country £ 1,000,000 a year. He dwelt on the burden that. Bristol would have to bear as its share of the ooet of the war, contrasting it with the expenditure in municipal enter- prise, and he asked what would they say if a man who suggested such an outlay-which wculd bring nothing but strife, wrath, anger, the scorn of the finest men on tho face of the earth, lowering, the prestige of Britain, dragging its feme in the mire — what would they say of a man like that? Put him in the I first convenient lunatic asylum. And yet this was tho great scheme Mr Joseph Chamberlain hid launched upon this country. Were they surprised that his myrmidons should prevent I tho discussion of any such scheme in this country? They were told that all would go t well. Would it? The future was in greater hands than ours (cheers). Ho did not like the killing of children (cheers). Ho was afraid of it. He had a few superstitions left, and one of them was that the government of this earth was not in the hands of great im- perial syndicates (cheera). Were hi? hearers quite easy as to the slaughter of 11,000 chil- dren ("No")? Now waa the time to praise. We were on the brink of a great catastrophe. Hri appealed to hie countrymen to pauao ere our country was engulphed in a disaster in South Africa, which might leave her as pro- stiat-e as great empires in the past had beeu left (cheers). A resolution calling upon the Government to stop the war was carried with four dissentients. Throughout the meeting thew was an :m- mense crowd in the streets close to the ball, but the space within the barriers which had been erected by the police waj kept clear, there being nearly 3QQ constables on duty, whilst mounted police ware in attendance at tha Central City Station in reserve, in case their services were requirod. Thousands of people remained outside the barriers good- humouredly singing and shouting, but they were not near enough to disturb the meeting. After the speeches in the hall the hui Iding was expeditiously cleared, a.nd the people mingled with the crowd without any disturbance occur- ring. Numerous inquiries wero made after Mr Lloyd George, but he left by a back door unobserved, and got away unmolested. c§o
IA Cure for Deafness in Old…
I A Cure for Deafness in Old Age. I In the reports of the Prouefc Institute, issued during the last quarter of 1901, will be found a surprising number of cures of Deaf- ness in old age. For tho benefit of those interacted we fimi space for a brief account of complete reoovery of hearing after years of Deafness at a very advanced age. This re- markable result is shown in the case of Mrs J. W. Swan, 75 years old, of Guardbridge, t. Fife. Her Deafness was caused hy Catarrh of the middle ear, and was w pronounced that the patient could not even htsu a. clock tick. The cure affccted by the Diouet tiieat- iuent is reported as follows:- 13. Macgregosr's Buildings, Guaixibridge, t, c. T L tfif* Dec. 3, 1901. Dear Nr.—1 have great pleasure in testify- ing to the efficiency of the remedy, that was applied in my wile's case, as being a perfect cure of her Deafness. She was so bad that coiiiJie-ar iiotliii)_g unites# Rpokcii v^ty loud close into her ear, now she hears as well as ever she. did.—Yours truly, Th « v > J- W. SWAN. I who desire ta obtain further infor- mation regarding the Drouet Treatment will iind a complete description in the "Journal for the IX-a f," which is published each month, with a "Supplement." containing a monthly report of the cores effected by this method.

Mr Lloyd George and Lord .…
Mr Lloyd George and Lord Rosebery. A contributor to the "Paft Mall Gazette" has been interviewing Mr Llovd George, and give, f-ome micr^ting statements of tlie opinions C.Xples"- "Why does your editor," Mr Lloyd George asked, 'call men traitors simply bekuse they oppose the W':J,r'! Is every politiciaji who opposea a ivar during its progress of necessity a traitor? If so, then Chatham, wa.s a traitor, and Burke, and Fox especially, and in later times Cobden and Bright- and even Mr Cham- berlain himself, all the.-e were traitors. Or is a man a traitor because he suggests liberal tenns of peace.' If so, then Lord Kitchener and Lord Rorcheiy are guilty of treason as well." "One can only judge of Lord Rosebery's future by lus past: and as he has n -vpr proved himself thf man of attack an Opposi- tion needs, I am afraid h; never will." But after all," Mr Lloyd George went on serenely, "von cannot elect a leader; he must force himself to the front, and not wait to be invited L'"d Hartin.gton was an example ot tho elected ] eii/ier. yet he had to give way to Mr Gladstone's force of character. Now, Mr Gladstone and Lord1 Rof?eberv are two vary dif. ferent men but it all depends on Lord Ro^v berv himself. If he can persuade the n.Vio.i to follow him he became* a leader without election; if he cannot, then no number of nominations can make him so. It is a In is- take to imagine there is any personal faeline against Lord Rosebeiy; there is absolutely none. If be really becomes leader, and takes the country ;Uong with him. we shall all be delighted, and Sir Henry Campbe!Bannerman j .ho as pleased as anyone, simply because of jiis lcvauty to th*» Liberal cavse. Ho re- cognises that the eta!>1 l.hmcnt of peace is now the most dcjiiiinaot need of the nation.
