ACTION AGAINST A RHYL SOLICITOR. On Tuesday, in the City of London Court, before Mr Commissioner Kerr, an action was brought by Messrs Ehrmann Brokers, WiD" Merchants, Gresham>buildings, against Mr W W. Parry, solicitor of Rhyl, to recover E-o, alleged to be due under somewhat peculiar circumstances. Mr M'Kenna appeared for the plaintiffs and Mr Palmer for defendant. This was a claim for money had and r ceived by the defendant on behalf of the pltiiotItr", and Mr M'Kenna stattd that the defendant had a nt a letter in which he admitted that he had collected £7 which sum the plaintiffs claimed as a part of money due to tbem. Mr Palmer submitted that the letter did not amount in Jaw to an account stated in the city of London. Mr M'Kenna—I don't say it is; but surely this letter is an admission of money having been received on our account. Mr Palmer.—No; the account really stands between your clients and their customer in Wales. Mr MKenne.-The defendant admitsE7, and be may have got more for all we know. We have been corresponding for months about this money. The Judge.—I rather think that tbe letter is evidence of an account stated. Mr Palmer.—I submit that plaintiffs can't divide their claim, and if they insist upon having the t7 it must be accepted as a whole. Besides the defendant has a claim of two guineas against them. The Judge.-I agree that if the plaintiffs want tbe f.7 they must allow the two guineas to be deducted. I will therefore give judgment ior the plaintiffs for 14 18s.
FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. ABERGELE v. RHYL (A). Last Saturday week a team of the Rhyl Football Club, principally composed of 2nd eleven and reserve men visited Abeigele, and after a very pleasant tussle defeated Mr J. Duncan Miller's team by the substantial majority of eight goals. The Abergele team was not so weak as the score would indicate, and at timef the visitors were forced to defend, although Medcalf seldom had to do so, Foulkes or Edwards relieving each time. On the whole however, Rhyl held the upper hand of their opponents, the game being decidedly slow and uninteresting, save for an occasional bit of good play on the part of Charlie Jones, J. Lloyd Roberts and Foulkes. Abergele were fortunate in securing a goal (" the only one ") at he outset, but the final result was as follows:—Rhyl 9 goals, Abergele 1. Thomas (goal), Evans (half), Whitlam' Evans and W. Bell (forwards) were the best of the home team. Medcalf saved one or two good shots, and Foulkes was all there at back. Owen Edwards his com- panion has a good kick, but is far too slow for the position. J. Lloyd Roberts was by far the best of the half-backs, but both Matthews and T. Jones played well. Glass was not much good as a centre, nor yet on the left- wing, but played hard, and once put in a nice goal. His dribbling is sadly at fault, but a little practice may remedy this defect, although between the posts is where he shines. J. Roberts would have done more effective work had he passed more, and fiddled" less with the ball, and the same applies to;J. Davies, with the additional remark that the latter player pays too mush regard to the man to do any good. J. Parry shoots well, but wants better support than was the case on Saturday, and so does Charlie Jones, who was also sadly handicapped in this match. Teams: Abergele—(Goal) J. R. Thomas (Backs) T.

RHYL PETTY SESSIONS
RHYL PETTY SESSIONS MONDAY, Jan. 28. Before Dr. Girdlesto^ Mr LI. Lloyd, Mr W. Wynne. Travelling witnw.t a Ticket. James ClarVe, a young man, was charged with the above olience, at the instance of the L. & N. W. Railway Company, and pleaded guilty. Mr R. M. Preston, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the railway company was peculiarly subject to these kind of frauds. They occurred periodically as epidemics, and Rhyl had not been free from them; Defendant was charged with the offence with respect to the 4th inst., and it had been commuted against the Act of 1845, and not iu contravention ot any byelaws. Upon the arrival of the train leaving Chester at 5.10 at Bagilit, a fitter in the employ of the company emered a ttiird class compartment, wnere he found defendant. They both got out at Ehyl and from defendant's manner, his companion called the attention of porter Parry. The latter saw defendant leaving, and followed him. When asked for his ticket, defendant said he had not come by train. He was brought into the presence of the litter, and he again denied, but afterwards admitted the offence. Charts Hate. fitter, Denbigh, deposed that he entered tne tram at Bagillt. At Mostyn, defendant, who was iu the same carriage, asked if that was Rhyl, witness replying that it was not. At the latter place, when both came out of the compartment, he gave information I to Parry, and defendant ultimately admitted travelling from Flint without a ticket. Dr (iirulestone asked defendant what he worked at and repbed anything I can get hold of." A pre- vious eonvmion, lli Juiy 1087, for trespassing on the railway, was eutered against defendant. Mr Preston asked for the costs of four witnesses, and the total expenses amounted to £1 7s. 6d. DefuLidiiut was fiued His., but as he had neither inouey nor goods a commitment for 1 i days was made OQt. Warrant Granted. The police applied for 1\ warrant of commitmenl against Mary Lewl" Crescent Place, found guilty at a previous court of stealing bacon, and fined. The distress warrant hiving been endorsed nulla buna, a committal for 14 days was now signed. Neglecting to Keep his Mother. John Edwards, Bedford Street, a single man, had been summoned fur neglecting to pay arrears of £ 2 12s 6d ou an order from the court to pay 2.. 6d weekly towards the support of his mother, Ann Edwards, with whom the man 18 living. Mr has. CJrimsley prosecuted on behalf of the St Asaph Board of Guardians, and said that the order was dated June 13th, 1887. His mother was still chargeable, but defendant had not paid a single farthing on the order made against him. Un tbe 13tn of August, last year, ne had been sentenced to a term of imprison- ment for the offence, and the arrears now charged against him had accumulated between the 27th of August and the 21st of January. He had been, during that time, employed off and on as a plasterer. He could have had plenty of work had he been disposed to to take to it. Bat instead of that he worked for a few days, and then took the other days to spend his earnings in drink. Mr W. Ellis, Relieving Officer, proved the chargea- bility of the mother, who was in receipt of 3s 6d per week. The arrears had been demanded, defendant replying that he was up to his ears in debt, and that he had had no time to get his legs under him. John Middleton, plasterer, deposed to having given defendant some work, a day off and on in Oecemoer, and the last and the previous week. He was paid about 17s. last week, but witness could not say how much he had been paid previously. Defendant was not a steady man. Witness had simply given him work to keep him going, but had promised him more when he had it. Witness was subjected to a long examination ly Mr Urimsley, who said that he was an uuwilhng witness, the latter denying it. Defendant himself was then sworn, and said that he had not earned no more than 9s. a week on an average during the past two months, and had been paying oil old debts. When herring fishing he earned no moie than Is. or Is. 6d. per week. Mr Grimsley maintained that his case-bad been made out. It had been clearly shewn that defendant hau earned sufficient to pay something and in default of any single payment on the order prosecators were entitled to a verdict. Mr Oliver George, on the other band, maintained that defendant had been summoned with respect to the whole of the arrears, and that sum alone w s before the court After some argument over this point the court ulti- mately adopted their Clerk's view, and as they could not find evidence of the man having earned enough to pay the amount claimed the cuse was uismissed. They, however, recommended the Guaroians to take out proceedings with regard to single payments due whenever they fonna the man was at work. j Mr Grimsley replied that it was very difficult to get at evidence of his being at-work. Gross Nglect of a Child's Education Evan Evans. Tymoel, charged by Mr Eú. Jone3, atten dance officer, with neglecting the education of hig boy Robert, defendant sent his wife to answer the com- plaint. The boy's attendances were only 27 out of Ii possible 68: and although 11 years of age he had no: passed any standard nor was ht. presentlld to the Inspector any time.-Fmed 48 6d, or distress.

Larceny by a Young Person. Anne Jane Conwy, aged 13, Ochryfoel, Dyserth, was charged with stealing an embroidered apron of brown hollmd, the property of Laura Williams, Nant Mill, Prestatyn, who prosecuted. Prosecutrix said that on Thursday last the apron wa, drying on her garden hedge, and when she niissed it in L"e i.ftern she gave information to P.c. d. Jones. She valued the article at Is. P.c. fcidward Junes deposrd thatjhe went to thd house of defendant s parents, at Oc ryfoel. He asked for th" two apruns losL, and the father said he knew nothing of them, telling the girl if she had them to turn the aprons out. She then went into a capboard, and took the apron pro duced out of a bag containing some victuals which che had been beggmg. She had at first denied stealing anything, anú now aid fóhe had taken only one apron. She was brought down to Rhyl, accompanied by her m ither, when Inspector àlcLaren told them to appear in court that dav. Defendant had not been in custody at all. The girl pleaded guilty, and elected to be tried 8\1mmaril v. The Court said that this being defendant's first offence she would be dealt leniently with. She would have to pay lO., including costs, and the mother was allowed until Thursday to find the money, defendant receiving a reprimand from the Chairman.

These gentlemen accepted office, and thanked the members for the re- newed confidence placed in them. On the motion of Mr Woodcock, seconded by Dr Girdlestone, Mr T W Hughes, solicitor, Flint, was unanimously elected chief registration agent. On the motion of Mr LI. Lloyd, a cordial vote of thanks was passed to Mr Goodman Roberts, the retiring political agent, for his services in the past. (Cheers). Mr Roberts, in responding to it, referred to the steps he had taken to organize the party in the county, and promised his cordial co-operation in the future. Mr Hnghes, the new agent, thanked the meetig for the honour they had conferred upon him, and said that his earnest eflorts would be directed towards improvin8 the position of the party in the county.

SIIOOHi "HEF; i OR, THE ARCHERS 01 AUDsun, j CHAPTER xxv. OOI LI; rt I gave aim you spoke of, and he naa gone to take it to the French king. Think you it will be accepted ?" Chandos conpressed his lips and screwed up his face thoughtfully That is had to say, your grace. The French are not like otr people, who think a bird in the hand worth two in the bush. They may feel so sure that they vill not spare a drop of blood and our only chance's that they may attack, straight up the lane we have left open. But even John of France can hardly be such a fool as that." The Captal de Buch, whose sparkling Gascon face was unusuallj grave and serious, here smiled, as if he could nob restrain some ludicrous idea, and remarked to Manny, so that the prince could hear him plainly "It is never safe to say a Frenchman will not be a fool. This maybe another Cressy, after all." The prince brightmed up at the words for he had been looking very grave and sad before. I Thou art right, Captal," he said, emphatically, "At Cressy we all thoight it not possible that God could give us the victoiy, save by a miracle but from the first shaft shot to the last man killed, the French never had a chame all day. It may be so here, too." Then he took Chandos to one side, and added, in an undertone Hast thou posted the squire and his men ?" I sent him off," replied the knight in the same tone, "just ere the dawn came, when both camps were asleep and the night at its darkest. He hath with him the Archers of Arien, three hundred in number, and three hundred nen-at-arms, who led their horses round on the other side of the swamp. The girl went with them to show the way. And they will lie there hidden till tIe battle joins." The prince seemed satisfied. That is well done. Even if we have to surren- der, it is well to have something to secure better terms. Ha thou seest he hath mched the king's tent. Now, if he comes hither igain soon, the terms are rejected, and we shall lave to fight our best to-morrow." Chandos made no answer, but watched the dis- tant tent gravely. From the door of the prince's pavilion the great crimson marquee in which the King of France held his council could be seen, at the distance of less than a mile, in the full glow of ounset. In modern warfare such a proximity would have been impossible, on accomt of the artillery but in those times, when a hundred yards was the effective range of arrows, a mile between tending forces was a long distance. They could see, from, the hill of Matiper-uis, that the arrival of the cardinal caused a great hubbub, in the camp, and that the knights and nobtai were flocking to the big tent to hear the news. Long and anxiously they watched, and all over the English camp men could be seen climbing up trees, from whence they could obtain a letter view. The coming of the cardinal had been spread by the tongue of camp rumour throughout the army, and every one was anxious to see what would come of the propositions for peace. After a long time a knight was seen to come from the tent of the French king, and mount his horse to ride to the English outposts, attended bj a herald with a trumpet, carrying a white flag of truce. The archers flocked down near the mouth of the lane to listen to what he had to say, but he passed up the line to the prince's tent, where the herald read, in a loud voice, a proclamation from the King of France, offering a truce for the day to the English prince, while terms of surrender were discussed." To this the prince returned an answer which was inaudible to the army but when the French knight returned, he was accompanied by Sir Wal- ter Manny and an English herald, who made a similer proclamation in front of the French king's tent. The news spread through both armies that a surrender was being arranged but soon after the cardinal was seen coming towards the lane once more, this time with a slow pace. and a sad and thoughtful face, that was a harbinger of ill for the archers and soldiers who were watching him eagerly, hoping for better things. He came to the front of the prince's tent and dismounted, but did not enter, speaking aloud from the outside, saying Dear son, I wish from my heart that I brought better news but King John rejects thy terms, and offers this alone He will let thy men return to Bordeaux without opposition, on their parole not to serve against France for seven years, but thou and a hundred of thy knif/hts must surrender to his mercy icithout term* The prince listened, and replied, gravely Does your Eminence advise me to accept these terms for my brave companions in arms ?" I do not," was the emphatic reply. Then," said Edward, still more gravely. nothing is left for us but to fight as best we may, and trust to God for the issue." The cardinal bowed his assent, and rode off with a sad aspect that did not belie his feelings. CHAPTER XXVI. THE AMBUSH. Away to the right of the English position, on the hill of Maupertuis, stretched the valley of the Mainson, running through a swampy lowland, covered with thickets of coppice-wood, rising at one place on the side of the little stream into a tmall hill, covered with forest, the underwood of which ran down near the outskirts of the French army. In the midst of this wood, some distance from the French camp and entirely unsuspected by their foes, at the moment when the Cardinal de Perigord retired from his mission to Edward of Wales, a strong party of English archers and men-at-arms lay hidden. The horses were munching oats, in nose-bags, to keep them quiet: the footmen were scattered round under the trees, some asleep, others telling storiea in low tones while Tom the Tinker, accompanied by Simon Hannekin, was seated among the branches of a lofty oak tree, that commanded a view of both camps, watching the coming and going of the flags of truce. The tree on which they had taken their place was one that stood alone in a glade, and therefore had room to spread its branches widely in all directions, rendering the accommodation aloft ample for a dozen persons. Tom the Tinker was in armour of the kind worn by archers, not so stiff and heavy as that in which the knights were panopiled, but fit to resist a sword-cut. Simon Hannekin, on the other hand, wore a full suit of plate and mail, which, in any on less pow. erful and active, would have been an absolute preventive to exertion in the way of climbing. "Well, brother Simon," said the late outlaw presently, as they saw the second visit of the car- dinal to Edward of Wales, "what thinkest thou will be the end of this going too and fro ?" Simon shook his head. "I know not. If we were in the same position as they, with the same numbers, we should make short work of them but, as it is, they, being French- men, are sure to attack straight up that lane, where only four men can ride abreast, and where all the rest of the army can but look on and see the men in th lane get killed." Tom n nlcled his assent, saying "That's a yeoman's wisdom, brother Simon. Now, an' 'twere I, over yonder, instead of the French king, I would set all those lazy varlets that are wandering round, treading on each other's heels, to work hacking down the hedges all round our camp; and by my faith, we have not enough to keep them from doing it, for they could put three men to our one at every point. But, as thou sayest, that lane was left there on purpose for them to come up and the fools will know better than to take it." Then he looked round below him, adding, in a low tone "Where is that she devil, Joan Butler, gone to It is not safe to trust a woman out of one's sight, thou knuwe:t anil she hath sold lier master twice over now." Simon nodded quietly. I have put her in bauds. My own brother is with her and if she guts away from him, she will be a clever wench, lloger saith that she will go into the battle with n", in armour, and fight like a man but I have told him to let no such foolish stuff be uttered. This battle will be a thing for men, and good men. too. What is that yonder, Tinker ? The cardinal is coming back." Looking through the branches, they could see the brilliant scarlet of the old Cardinal de Peri- gord, relieved against the white of his mule, com- ing over the greensward from the English camp. The late outlaw watched him awhile, and said at last: He rides slow. His news is bad. There will be a fight, after all, and I am glad of it." They watched the old priest ride on to the tent of the French king and saw the same gathering as before, to hear his news. Presently they saw the king himself come out of the tent and say something to the knights round him, which called forth a tremendous cheer that spread through the camp from man to man, till all the Frenchmen were shouting together. Tom the Tinker shrugged his shoulders with the remark: Best keep your lungs till the battle is over." The men below them, in the wood, who had been lounging about, heard the shout, and began to look up at the two in the tree, as if to inquire what was the matter. Tom looked down to say in a low tone Keep still, my bullies. Only the Frenchmen wasting their breath." Then, as he looked back, one might see that the men-at-arms and archers were bustling about in the French camp, while the grooms were leading horses back to the temporary stables, and the sound of hammers could be heard all over the army, telling of the armourers being at work. The nobles and knights round the king's mar- quee had not been in armour at; a token that the truce granted for the day would be observed. The hour was already far advanced towards night, and it took a. long time to get a mediaeval army in the order necessary for an attack, on account of the tedious process of arming the knights, and the number of different chiefs in camp, under the feudal system; each tenacious of his dignity. whether he were a duke with ten thousand retainers, or a simple country baron, with his ten lances and rabble of footmen with knives and maces.

It became a point to determine whether he would be able to keep the animals quiet for the night, to say nothing of the men. Already the horses were beginning to paw the ground impatiently, and mutter to each other in what threatened presently to break out into a chorus of neighings. The young squire had been put in command of the whole expedition, in expectation that the bat- tle would come off that day and the unexpected truce had left him in an awkward position. Should his detachment be discovered, its destruction could be but a question of an hour at the utmost, and Simon saw that it was necessary to draw back from the exposed place in which he was, and secure some forage for his horses from the country to the rear of him, at any risk of discovery, trust- ing to luck to pull him through. He was met, as soon as he proposed this to Tom the Tinker, by the objection that none of them knew anything about the country in the daytime, and that such an expedition at night was a need- less and foolish exposure of the party to disaster. Simon heard what the late outlaw had to say respectfully for the advice of a man like Tom the Tinker, who had passed half his life in active warfare against the king's rangers, was not to be despised. They were discussing what was the best thing to do, when Roger Hannekin, who had been gone all day, came up to them, with the disguised page, and asked what was the trouble. Simon told them, and Joan Butler at once an. swered him: If you will give me a party of men that can be trusted to keep silent I will take them into the French camp, and bring you all the horse-feed you want from the stables of the King of France him- self. All the men will have to do is to keep silence when they are spoken to, and not betray the fact that they are English." It seemed like a desperate proposition, and one calculated to throw the safety of the whole party into the hands of Joan, who had already proved a double traitress but there was something in her air that made Simon think she meant what she said in earnest, and he asked her: "And how are we to know that, once in the French camp, you would not give the alarm and srive us all up to King John ?" Joan came up close, and answered in a low tone: Come with me thyself, thou and thy brother, and thou canst kill me the moment thou seest any treachery. I will stay by thy side handcuffed, if thou wilt, unarmed. I have not come to this camp to turn traitor to thee, of all men." Simon hesitated, asking her But what is thy plan ? How can we deceive the French ?" Listen," said Joan, and as she spoke Tom the Tinker and Roger got close to her to hear what she had to sav. I was sent hither to set a place for an ambush in the English camp. If I go back to the French in the night they will think that I come to arrange for the men that I have hidden in this direction. They want forage, and we can get it from the king's stables. Thus shall we kill two birds with one stone, and fool the Frenchmen doubly." Tom the Tinker smote his thigh in admiration. "'Fore St. Hubert! a rare plan I But the men must be Gascons, or they will talk English, and let the Frenchmen know where they come from." All they need is to keep silence, and I wili do the talking for them. Gascons would betray us by their chattering." Her advice seemed too good not to be followed, and within ten minutes from the time it was ut- tered Simon Hannekin, with Joan by his side, and a party of twenty stout fellows following him (some of them men-at-arms belonging to the Black Prince's own province of Acquitaine, to do the talking if any of them should be questioned), emerged boldly from the woods at the skirt of the French camp, and walked unchallenged into the midst of horses at pickets, soldiers round their fires, tents where knights were eating supper, and all the paraphernalia of a mediaeval army. They strolled along in groups near to each other; and, in the midst of such a rabble as the French army seemed to be, attracted no particular attention. Joan led the party, with Simon Hannekin by her side, and took her way as if she knew exactly where she was going, to the rear of the camp, behind the marquee of the king himself, where an immense crowd of horses was ranged in lines, showing the station of the king's own body-guard. Here, for the first time, they were challenged by a man who wore the dress of a knight, and who accosted Joan familiarly in French: Hola 7 my pretty page, whither goest thou ? I have seen thee before, have I not ?" He took her by the arm as he spoke and pulled one of her long curls but the girl, with undis- turbed coolness, whispered to him Quiet, Ribaumont l Knowest thou not I am on secret service 7 1 have done what I am out to do and we want forage for the party that has gone to the rear of the English army. This truce has taken all the feed we have for the horses, and they will need all their strength tomorrow." Ribaumont, a stout, jolly-looking knight, whis- tled softly. Indeed! Then, by the mass, we have those Englishmen! Does his majesty know of it yet 1" Of course," returned Joan. coolly. Should I be here if he did not ? We want food for five hun- dred horses at once, and these men will take it with them to the woods. Do thou keep any from following us, or the English will see it, and the plan be spoiled. 'Twill be Calais over again; but better done this time, Ribaumont." And she pinched the knight's arm and laughed, as if there were some secret jest between them. Sir Eustace de Ribaumont echoed the laugh, somewhat confusedly. Simon Hannekin recognised his name as that of a knight who had attempted a surpise of Calais, a year or two before, in which he and his confeder- ates had been takea prisoner by King Edward in person, since which time Ribaumont had been un- mercifully teased on account of his failure. Even now he seemed to be afraid of the page's tongue, for he said hastily, as if he wanted to get rid of Joan: There lies all the corn thou canst need. Take it and say no more. I will see that the ambush is not disturbed." And the unsuspecting knight actually led the way to the heaps of corn-sacks that lay in the rear of the royal stables; and the men who had come with Joan took up sack after sack and bore them off in triumph to the woods without attracting any atten- tion in the French army among the crowds passing to and fro. When they at last reached the recesses of the woods Joan said to Simon, who had remained close by her all the time: "Well, Simon Hannekin, thinkest thou I can be trusted yet ?" Simon bowed gravely. Thou hast perhaps saved the English army, Joan Butler." "Then," she replied, quietly, "I have but one boon to ask. Let me fight on your side to-morrow and show that I am true to the core." Thou shalt do what thou wilt,' replied Simon. (To be continued.) 1!:t:Y ro—wnwMW——i—■■

A j oed to investigate the subject by personal interview with the parties, who could speak from actual experience. From the results as given delew it may well be claimed that the general adoption of this remarkable agent will cause a revolution in certain quarters. "The first gentleman interviewed was Mr. William Howes, civil engineer, No (iS Red Lion-street, High Holborn, W.O. Mr. Howes stated that for over twenty years he had been constantly aud severely af- flicted with rheumatism. At times his hand and feet bad been swollen to twice their natural aizg. Again, bis joints became so stiff and painful that he could not walk, and his feet so sore that he could not bear his weight on them. He had at different times tried physicians and many remedies which had been recommended to him a3 a care for his complaints, but deiived no bsnefit whatever. An acquaintance, who had himself been cured of a severe rheumatic trouble, gave him a botde of St. Jacobs Oil, which he applied onco, with such unexpected 'Ind markej benefit that he procured another which, to use his own language, 'settled the business,' by removing the pain which he had not been free from for twenty years, AIr Howes said that had he not used St, Jacobs Oi; tie would now be in bed, instead of attending to ais business. He added, It's eff ct were simply magical.' It produced a complete cure. I will also add that numerous friends and acquain- j tances, suffering from rheumatic and neuralgic iffections, to whom I recomm nded tho Oi ,ipatsk of it nEi wonderful. It eems to effect a cure in every case." The name of Mr. C. H. Palmer, Secretary of be Conservative Defence Association, and Over. deer of the District of Islington, having bei-n mentioned to the reporter, this gentlemau'n opinion was sought. d cheerfully given in the following language For a long time I have been a great sufferer from neu algia in my face and head, and rheumatism in my limb. Afrer trying vari tn remedies without obtaining rel e and having learned of the signal benefit WiI, h a veral friends, who bad been Miff-iing fr< m severe rheumatism, derived from the Oil, I procured a bottle, the ure < t which complet iy etnoved every trace of paID. It may be added ihit in its current number the Magazine of Pharmacy, Chemistry, and Medicine devote- considerable space to a discussion of the extta- rdinary power of St. Iaoobs Oil, and cites some tr-toniehing cures It appears, also, that t:>i remedy received no les tbtin sx gold mt. da luring the pa- t year at tho International land ;th,,r expositi i-,s.
