Evans '(60) said there was on one in charge, but the defendant called a boy who swore that he had been asked by the defendant to take charge of the pony and trap, and. that he had done so with another boy who was in the trap. He said that the defendant had asked him in the presence of the police offioer if he had not asked him to take) charge of the trap, and if he had done so, and that he had replied in the negative.—.Mr Vincent, magistrates' clerk. pointed out tha.t really the charge was one of obstructing the highway.—The majority of the (Bench considered that no caise had been made out, and the case was dismissed.

The application was ac- cordingly declined.

FOOTBALL WELSH COAST AMATEUR CUP. OOLWYN BAY v. CONWAY. The third match between Colwyn Bay and Conway in the first round of the Welsh Coast Aimateur Cup was played at Colwyn Bay on -iturday, before a large crowd of spectators. Mr F. J. H. Beech acted as referee. Within a. minute of the start Oonway scored from a mis- kick by Campbell, one of Oolwyn Bay's half- backs. This put heart into Conway, and they played a fine game during the whole of the first half, J. R. Jones scoring a second goal. During the second half Colwyn Bay played a strong game, pressing the Conway defence re- peatedly, and but for the splendid play of the goalkeeper, Ll. Parry, would undoubtedly have won the game. As it was, Conway were com- pelled to resort to the expedient of sending the ball out of play, in order to waste time. Mc- Oann played extremely well for Col- wyn Bay as centre half back, and was well supported by Riowlands, his colleague on the right wing. Moss Jones also played a good game as left wing forward, and Jack Owen, on the right, put in several good shots, from one of which Moss Jones scored. The weak spot of the Bay team was in the centre forward, Matthews being apparent!— off- colour. During the last ten minutes play was extremely fast, and Oolwyn Bay experienced "ihard lines" more than once, Conway sending the ball over on to the railway and anywhere else as opportunity offered, thus depriving the Bay of valuable time. The game resulted in a win for Conway of 2 against 1. The teams. were:—Colwyn Bay: Gool, W. E. Huiglics; backs, E. Williams and 0. E. Williams; half-backs, Campbell, McCann (cap- tain), and R. Rowlands; forwards, Moss Jones, W. Jones, Matthews, Billy Jones (Uanrwst) and J. Ll. Owen. Conway;.—Goal, Ll. Parry; backs, J. Jones and Ellis; half-backs, Shew Jones, Hiwfa Wil- liams. and W. Parry; forwards, L. H. Roberts, J. H. Jones, Ll. Pritchard, R. Owen, and Stone. it

NORTH WALES COAST LRAG-UE. HOLYHEAD v. LLANDUDNO. These teams met at Holyhead on Saturday. The teams lined out as follows:- Holyhead Goal, Collier; backs, Space, W. H. Parry: halves, W. Brown, W. J. Jones, C. Dodson: forwards, H. Roberts, J. Rowlands, 0. B. Edwards, F. Bogue, H. Brown. Llandudno Goa.t, J. Williams; backs, W. Roberts and Lunt; halves, Jacob Williams, G. Davies, Hall; forwards, Aldersoai, H. D. Rob- erts. J. Williams, Lunt, W. Owen. Llandudno rushed off at the commencement of the game, and looked dangerous, but their enthusiasm was quickly checked bv the home defence, and from the end of the first five minutes Holyhead was the better team all, through the game. The first point was got by 0. B. Edwards through a penalty, and this was soon followed by another from Bogue, who had previously made some good tries which met with an uifortunate end. Llandudno had a sudden accession of energy, and there was a 11 y determined onslaught upon the home goal, but Slpa-ce intervened, and after baffln-r three of the attackers, cleared. The visiting- outside right secured the ball, and dashed up close to the touch line with great speed, but annalled his commendable effort by injudiciously shoot- iner from near the corner poet, the ball going wide. The home team then resumed the at- tack, and after sustained and exciting pressure. got a corner. This was nicely placed by Hugh Brown, and the ball was headed through by J. Rowlands. Then Bosue put on a fourth, and J. Rowlands added a fifth from a nice centre by H. Brown. A penalty was given against the homesters, and the Llandudno cenlt-re. Wdlliams, who was prominent for many good tries, converted it into a goal. At half-time the score stood Holyhead, 5 Llandudno, 1. The second half of the game consisted mostly in clashing attacks by the Holyhead team, but the Llandudno delence was wary, and conceded frequent corners in order to stave off a big score. 0. B. Edwar(is shone greatlv- wihen he tricked the opposing backs, and being met by the goalkeeper, shot past him with profitable accuracy. Bogue was responsible for the OY seventh and eighth foals, the last one beinig a really brilliant episode in the game. It. was a marvellous effort, and was oudly cheered. The game ended with a win for the homesters by eight goals to one. The visiting goalkeeper was responsible for several gTand saves, towards the end of the game, and no blame can be .placet on him for the crushing defeat. The home for- wards were in great form, but there was not enough combination between them, and 3. bet- ter understanding in this respect will be of great value when they ha-ve a really clever de- fence to meet. Will Brown again proved his fitness for the half-back line, and completely "bottled" the left wing, the outside mall of Milrach is described as the Welsh "Settle." W. T. Jones was par excellence as usual, but Dod- son had more than his.malt.ch to nlay against. 'Plarry and Space were always safe, and at times brilliant., while Collier dealt summarily wiitth aW the shots which came near. The visiting backs were rather weak, and the halves did not show up well. The centre and outside rieht were the pick of the forward line, but the outside left was good when he could shake off Will Brown. iDespite the monotonous way in w'hieh the ball found the net ^Rowlands, it must be said, placing it several times from off-side position), the game was not uninteresting, and bodes well for the future success of the Swifts, if onlv they can learn their few weak points and remedy them

I MR LLOYD-GEORGE AND THE PATENT LAWS. AMENDMENT PROMISED. A pritave interview took .place on Thursday at the 'Board of Trade between Mr Lloyd-George and a email deputation from the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, in regard to some points arising out of the dis- cussion with a deputation received on April 9th last on the subject of the compulsory working of patents. After some conversation, Mr Lloyd-George said that there were several points in the (Patent Laws calling for amend- ment, and that he hoped to introduce an amend- ing bill at an early opportunity.

ANGLESEY EISTEDDFOD TO BE THOROUGHLY WELSH, A well-attended meeting of Eisteddfodwyr was held at Llangefni on Thursday to consider the question of establishing an annual eistedd- fod for Anglesey. Mr R. J. Thomas, of Llan- rhyddlad, was voted to the chair. It was unanimously resolved to hold an eis- teddfod annually in the county, and it was suggested that this be held at different centres in rotation. The question as to whether a central perma- nent committee should make the arrangements was discussed, and i* was decided to hold a public meeting to decide this and other matters of management. A scheme for central admin- istration, coupled with the aid of a local com- mittee, was submitted by the secretary. Mr R. Mon Williams, stated that he had been for the past three months holding the safety-valve of the eisteddfodic enthusiasm at Holyhead (laughter). The Chairman expressed' a hope that the eis- teddfod would be thoroughly Welsh in charac- ter, and was sure it would prove of great bene- fit to the literal and musical life of the island. They felt that there was too great an English element in the National Eisteddfod, and many persona who had talent were kept away from entering the competitions by the magnitude of tts scope. To bridge this the Anglesey Eis- teddfod would be valuable.

CRUEL ROBBERY IN ANGLESEY. AN OLD MAN THREATENED. HIS LIFE SlAYENOS GONE. On Thursday night, 'Mr Hugh Williams, of Oefn ffsgoed, a farm in a lonely and rocky part of Anglesey,, was awakened by hearing hie window broken in, and was driven to terror when three masked men entered his bedroom and demanded to know where his money was. Mr Williams is 80 years of age, and bent al- most double by a life of toil, but, the mis- creants threatened his life by brandishing a crowbar and avowing to kill him if he didn't remain silent. They thrust a lamp before his eyes, so that the glare might prevent him from recognising them. The terrified old man de- nied having money, but they pulled him out of bed and searched; the bedclothes and mat»- tress. Finding only some loose silver in his pockets they went downstairs and commenced to ransack the place. During their absenoe the old man pulled; out of his clog £ 30 in gold, which he had concealed before retiring to rest, I and with feverish haste he transferrer them to the bed. In his orer-anxiety, however, he pave the robbers the clue to its for upon hearing the gold jingle they rushed upstairs and seized it. Then they disappeared, leaving the old man prostrated; at the lose of leaving the old man prostrated; at the lose of all that was left of his life's savings. There was not a. house within half a mile, and no alarm could be raised, but in the morning the police were investigating. The money which was stolen is said to re- present air the savings of Mr Williams, who is very infirm and almost bent double with age and toil. He is much sympathised with by the neighbouring farmers and villagers. jFerfly On Uhluir/ldap- (hejhad gone to FroB Wen to pay Mr William Owen for a heifer, and this reduced his store of gold by jgysa pounds.

STARTLING DISCOVERIES AT LLANDUDNO ALLEGED WHOLESALE POST-OFFICE FRAUDS. W. Be van, Esq., and J. Sipinther James, Eèq., formed a special Police Court, held at Lia-ndud- no, on Friday, when John Spencer, office cleaner and porter at the Llandudno General Poet-Office, was brought up in custody on the charge of stealing postal packets, the property of the Postmaster-General. Mr J. B. Allanson, Carnarvon, prosecuted, and Mr W. J. Corbett, Llandudno, defended. Mr Allanson stated that. in June last Mr W. W. Peck, of Bolton, a visitor to Uandudno, lost a cigarette case on an excursion, and Mr Williams, of Llanrwst, finding it. posted it to Mr Peck's lodgings, Olovelly, South-parade, Llandudno, on July 2nd. When Mr Williams did not receive his expected reward he wrote to Mrs Roberts, at Clovelly, and was told that the case had not arrived. Inquiry was insti- tuted. Mr W. T. Edwards, a clerk in the 'General Post-Office, was sent down, and saw the prisoner on October 11th. On that morning something was missed. In the presence of the (postmaster, Mr J. Wyard, and of a detective, Mr Edwards told the prisoner that various thlinigs were missing, and asked if he could give "any information about them. He said he could not, and that he had no pogit-Office pro- perty in his possession. His box was searched, in Ms room upstairs, and in it a mass of things were foun. Among them was the cigarette case. In addition to these articles, there was found in the box L8 10s for which Spencer oould not account. The prisoner gave the ad- dress of his wife, The Green, Werringtton, Peterborough, where a large quantity of goods was found, about which inquiries had been made at the Post-Office, and for which the officials had been hunting. Two charges only would be taken. The other things would be I' mentioned as showing the extent of the ac- cused's depredations. Joseph Wyard, postmaster, at Llandudno, gave evidence as to Spencer's duties, and Mr ) Peck identified the cigarette case. Mr Owen Williams (Llanrwst) deposed to posting the, case, and Mr Wyard stated that it would reach Llaoidudno the same ni'g'ht at ten o'clock. William Thomas Edwards, clerk at the Gene, ral Post-Office, and the prosecutor, described the interview with Spencer on October 11th. I He said to Spencer "I am makinsr inquiry into I' the numerous complaints of the loss of letters passing through t'he Llandudno Post-Office. The missing packets contained razors, watches, brooches, rinigs and other things. Do you I know anything about them?" The man replied "No." Mr Edwards said, "Have you any Post-Office property in your possession?" and the replv was "No." "Have you any objec- tion to allow the detective officer to look round your room and search your box?" "I have no objection," replied Spencer; "I should not be likely to do anything like this, as I have a life pension." Mr Edwards remarked. "I am glad to hear it. but, as you have -no objection, we will look into the box." They went upstairs to the caretaker's room. Detective Coldoott. I opened the box with a key which Spencer cave him, and the witness saw a large number of missing articles extracted, including the cigar- ette cas«. Detective Ralph Coldecott and Police Ser- geant E. Williams, who arrested the prisoner, were the remaining witnesses in the first case.

THE SECOND CHARGE. Mr Allanson stated that the second charge was one of stealing from or out of a post, letter or packet. Mrs Lynch, of Teddington, a visi- tor at Llandudno, wrote home to Mrs Mills, her caretaker, requesting her to forward cer- tain things which she had left behind, includ- ing two gold chains, attached to which were very old valuable ~old seals and two cold keys. When the pacKage arrived, Mrs Lynch saw that it had been tampered with, and tlie seals and keys were missing. Mrs Mills protested that she had packed the things up exactlv as she I found them on tfhe dressing table, and that Mr John Haynes, solicitor, of Teddinigton, brother of Mrs Lynch, .posted them for her. In the prisoner's box the missing seals and keys were I found, attached to a less valuable chain. Mrs Lvnch and Mrs Mills gave evidence, and (Mr Allanson said that Mr Haynes would be called at the Assizes, as he was that day j emsraged at Spalding. 'I The accused was committed for trial at the Carnarvonshire Assizes on both- charges. Mr Corlbett aarolied that the s.um of B8 10s which was foumd in the prisoner's box, and which, the prisoner declared to be his own pro- perty. should be returned to him in order to provide for his defence. Mr Allanson objected, contending that the money was got by the sale of articles which were still missing. I Mr Bevan isaid the Bench would make no order as to the application. ) The prisoner was removed jr. cuistodv. q.nd a «x>wd of persons waited outside the hall to witness his departure.

THE TAXATION OF LAND VALUES MEETING AT LLANDUDNO. I Under the ausoices of the Ratepayers' Asso- ciation, Mr E. McHugh, of Birkenhead, de- livered. on Friday evening, at the Town Hall. Llandudno, an address on "The taxation of Land Values." Whether it be due to the in- clemency of the weather or other causes, there were only a very small attendance, over which Mr John Roberts (Clarence House) presided. The Chairman, in introducing the lecturer to the audience, said that Mr McHugh was the ) greatest authority on the question of the taxa- tion of ground' values in England. The land f question was a very important one for Man- dudno people. Justice was a great principle, and what they -required; was justice in land reform. Mr McHugh, who received a patient hear- ing, punctuated with a few cheers, ^aid the maxim upon which the agitation for the taxa- tion of land values was based was "Don't tax anything made by man." He held that when tKe value of land is taxed, no man is taxed. The value of land arises from and is due, not to the labour of any man, but to the presence of population and public improvement. Mr McHugh illustrated his points by means of diagrams showing how labour and land to- gether create wealth also differentiating be- tween God-made thinglS-includin.g-. man and land—and the products of labour. Mr McHugh maintained that by the taxation of land values sufficient revenue would be obtained to meet the needs of all municipal authorities without sufficient revenue would be obtained to meet the needs of all municipal authorities without the necessity of imposing rates upon the oc- cupiers of house property. I At lhe conclusion of the lecture several ques- tions were asked as to how it was proposed to deal with leasehold property, the property of railway and telephone companies. Mr McHugh was also asked how it was proposed to prevent landlords from increasing -the rents of their houses and land in order to recoup themselves for the tax on land values. The questioner mentioned a case in which the rent of a house was raised by the landlord from P,40 to £ 45 in consequence of the increase in the amount of the income tax of the landlord's property tax during the la.te war in South Africa. What was there to prevent landlords doing a similar thing in connection with the taxation of land values ? Mr McHugh, in reply, was understood to say that the price paid by the leaseholders to the landlord would be the amount to be taxed'. In regard to railways the tax would be, upon the land upon which the railway was con- structed and not upon the value of the rail- way—which was a product of man. The same way would apply to telephone companies except that where a monopoly was granted it was only just that the persons to whom a monopoly was granted should be made to pay for the privilege of the monopoly. With regard to the last question the lecturer said it was obvious that nothing could be taken from nothing, and that if the land was taxed to the utmost of its value—20 shillings in the £ —it would be impossible for the landlord to get it back from the tenant by raising his rent" to a. similar amount. 0 On the motion of Mr Isaac Slater, a vote of thanks was accorded to the lecturer, who I briefly replied.

COLWYN BAY DISTRICT NURS- ING ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING. On Monday, the annual meeting of the S" Nursing Association was \fi< )f Chamber> Con way-road. Charles Reynolds occupied the chair There was a goodattenda.nce of ladies and ministers of the tOWII. The Chairman, in the proceedinos. referred to the markd success of the work of Zt ^sof^ion during the past year, said the leport of the Executive Committee contained a most complimentary reference to the district nureo from the committee of the Queen Vic- toria J uhilee Institution. The report of the Executive Committee stated that the total receipts of the year to- gether with the balance of JB50 from last vear amounted to £179, and expenditure to £136, showing a balance at the bank of j642 The increased support accorded to the Assaciation had enabled the committee to furnish a cottage Jo.- the nurse, as it was essential that she should nave a permanent home. Mr D. Gamble (vice-president) moved that the report of the Executive Committee be re- ceived and adopted, Mr Roger Edwards seconded, and the motion was carried The committee presented the following sum- W°rJ? done from Septmber /MJtii, 1900, to September 29tb, 1906--—Cases attended during the year, 184; number of visits paid, 545o: deaths among patients, 19; cases on books, September 29th, 1906, 9. The Chairman, in reading the report, said it wasrealiy astonishing how the nurse had done such an amount of work as was represented by the number of visits paid. Mr James Wood moved, Mr Charlton Jones seconded', and it was agreed that the report be received and adopted. The financial statement included the follow- ing items — Balance from 1905, £ 50 16s 8d • subscriptions and donations, £ 102 14s 9d' Jubilee grant, £ 10; Conway Union, £ 5 5s; members subscriptions, R9 4s and bank in- terest, £ 1 5s 9d making a total of JS179 6s 2d. The expenditure amounted to £ 136 18s lOd, thus leaving a balance in hand of £ 42 7s 4d' in addition to a sinking fund of £ 81 0s 2d. The Chairman, in presenting the financial statement, mentioned that the expenditure in- cluded an item of J352 17s 2d, expenses in- cuned in furnishing the nurse's cottage. This really represented property consequently if that money had not been expended there would have been a. balance of JS75. The secretary's expenses also deserved comment. How the secretary (Mrs Jamieson) had managed to run the affaii« of the Association for 14s 7d he could not understand. He thought it showed the great care and energy she had devoted to J the work. The Rev H. T. Couedns moved the adoption of the report, and proposed that a cordial vo:e of thanks be accorded to Mr F. J. Holmes, chartered accountant, for kindly auditing the accounts. Mrs Howarth seconded ,and the motion was carried unanimously. The Chairman then mentioned that the number of cases attended by the nurse during the past year was 24 in excess of the previous year, and the number of visits paid was 574 year, and the number of visits paid was 574 in excess, while the subscribers had increased from 305 to 325, which showed that the Asso- ciation was in good working condition. The Rev John Edwards moved, and it was agreed that the officers and Executive Com- mittee be re-elected as folloin-is --Prerideiit Mrs Reynolds. Vice-presidents Mrs Schill and Mr D. Gamble. Executive Committee Mrs Gamble, Mrs Lumley, Mrs Roger- Edwards, Mrs Charlton-Jones, Mrs Nunn, Mrs Shewell, Mrs Hunter, Miss 'Lewis, and the medical gentlemen resident in the district. Canon Roberts then moved, and Mrs Shewell seconded, and it was agreed, that Mrs Jamie- son be re-appointed hon. secretary Miss Jones and Mr William Jones (N. and S.W. Bank), hon. treasurers; and Mr F. J. Holmes, F.S.A.A., Bank Chambers, hon. auditor. Canon Roberts moved that a vote of thanks be accorded to the president, Mrs Reynolds. He knew from exprince that Mrs Reynolds had been a grea t acquisition as she brought to the work a large experience w'hich had been of great service. Mrs Charlton Jones seconded, and it was carried. In the motion of Mr D. Gamble, seconded by Mrs Whitehouse, a. cordial vote of thnaks was passed to the committee and the collectors. The committee, said Mr Gamble, had carried out the work with a minimum of expenditure, which, as the chairman reminded him, was due to the fact that the ladies of the committee gave large quantities of the things necessary for the sick poor and also for the require mente of the nurse. The collectors, too, deserved special thanks for their arduous work. He thought it required a good deal of courage to go from house to house, when frequently they met with no response to their appeals. Mr James Wood said the Association had his warmest sympathy, and he was a close ob- server of the work done by Nurse Bailey. He was very sorry, if report was correct, that the Association was going to lose Nurse Bailey. He only hoped she was going to move into a higher sphere, and he was sure they all wished her very great happiness. He moved that a I hearty vote of thanks be accorded to Nurse Bailey for her services. Father Comerford seconded the vote of thanks, which -was carried unanimouslfr. Nurse Bailey thanked those present very much for the kind things said about her. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

ABERGELE COUNTY SCHOOL INTERESTEXG PRESENTATION. A very interesting and pleasant function took place on Wednesday afternoon in the Assembly Hall at Abergele County School, when Mr Jeremiah Williams, M.A., the head- \nja^ter, (and Miss Winifred Stythe, B.A. (daughter of Mr iR. R. Stythe, Avallon, Carnar- von, and late mistress of the school), were pre- sented with a handsome silver tea and coffee 1 service by the staff and pupils as a mark of esteem and appreciation, on their approaching marriage, which, is to take place at Salem Con- gregational Chapel, Carnarvon, next Wednes- day. Mr W. J. Evans (of Carnarvon), the second master, presided, and wa.s supported by Mr W. Modlen, M.A., classical master; Miss Edith Wynne, B.A., mmtress; Mr T. Samuel, science master: Mr A. C. Bedford, A.C.P., headmaster of the Abergele National School and teacher of woodwork at the County School; Miss Williams, cookery mistress; Sergeant-Instructor Brown, and the whole of the pupils. Miss Wynne, on behalf of the teaching staff, and Nelly Thomas and David Lawrence, on behalf of the girls and boys re- spectively, made the formal presentation. The speeches which followed from various members of the staff emphasised the- very cor- dial relationship existing between Mr Wil- liams and Miss Stythe and the whole of the school. Mr Williams, in returning thanks on behalf of Miss Stythe and himself, expressed hiM I great gratification at the sincere signs of good- will which surrounded him and his future wife on all sides, and further remarked that the bond of affection sealed that day between him and the school would give him renewed courage to labour still harder in the cause of Abergele County School and the cause of education generally. A rousing cheers from the pupils brought to an end one of the. most pleasant ceremonies I ever held at the school.
