Sequel to the Great Orme Tragedy. CHARGE OF PERMITTING DRUNKENNESS. MAGISTRATES DIVIDED. At the Llandudno Police Court on Monday, before Mr. Ephraim Wood and other Magis- trates, Walter Beaumont, licensee of the King's Head Hotel, at the foot of the Great Orme's Head, was charged by the police with permitting drunkenness and also with selling beer to a drunken person on the night of Saturday week. Considerable interest was taken in the case, and the Town Hall was packed throughout the hearing, owing to it being alleged that it was a sequel to the Great Orme Tragedy, which was reported last week. Mr. James Marks appeared to prosecute on behalf of the police, and Mr. R. S. Chamberlain represented the defendant. Mr. Marks, in stating the facts, said that a man named Curwen and now deceased, was seen by his wife some time between 6.30 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Royal Oak Hotel. In Mrs. Curwen's opinion her husband was then under the influence of drink. They walked along Mostyn-street together, and then she missed him for a short time, and afterwards found him again at the house of Mr. Beaumont, and he was then undoubtedly drunk. Evidence would be brought to show that he had drink in the house, and several people who saw Curwen subsequently would say that he was drunk. It was not necessary for him (the advocate)—al- though he could do it-to prove that he was drunk on the premises, but if he could show that within a reasonable time afterwards the man was found drunk outside the premises, the licensee was liable. The further history of the cas-e was well known. Later that night the man I unfortunately fell downstairs and was killed. George Brookes, 7, Bryngwvnt-terraoe, de- posed to seeing Curwen at the King's Head on the night in question. Witness had two glasses of beer with him, but he could not say who served them. Curwen was not drunk, neither was he exactly sober, but he was capable enough. Witness saw Mrs. Curwen enter the house. Mr. Chamberlain: Supposing Mr. and Mrs. Beaumont were taking reasonable care in the conducting of their business, was there anything about Curwen that would put them on their guard? Witness Xo, nothing in my opinion. Continuing, the witness said that whilst Curwen was in the house, another man came in, and owing to his being drunk, Mr. Beau- mont turned him out. James Henry Coburn, tramway conductor, living at (Iwynfry n-view, said he met the deceased a few yards from the Black Gate. He thought Curwen was drunk. He was using very bad language, and was swaying from one side of the road to the other. Replving to Mr. Chamberlain, the witness said he had never noticed a peculiar walk by the deceased. He had a wound on the head, but witness could not say whether he had been struck by a stone. He did not see deceased's wife, but he went and picked the man up. Mr. Chamberlain: You have no feeling in this matter?—None whatever. Are you a teetotaller yourself?—Yes, I am. Mr. Chamberlain: I thought so, that there was something behind this. Re-examined: The fact that you are a tee- totaller does not suggest that you have not come here to tell the truth ?-In fact I have had many a lemonade at Mr. Beaumont's place. I have no personal feeling at all in the matter. Mrs. Leithley was ihe next witness. She said she saw a man and woman going up the road, and the man was using very bad language. She could not say who he was. He was the worse for drink. Replying to Mr. Chamberlain, she was not prepared to swear that it was Curwen. Mr. Chamberlain A good many drunken men go up the Black Gate on Saturday night, do they not? Witness I don't know. I am a stranger (Laughter.) Mrs. Curwen, the widow of the deceased man, called for the prosecution, said that her late husband was drunk at the Royal Oak Hotel, and when she saw him afterwards at the King's Ilead about S p.m. or after, he had a glass of beer in front of him. She could not sav who was in charge of the bar, because she only noticed her husband, and wanted him to go home. Her late husband did not give her any money that day, and when he was sober, he alwavs handed her his wages. Replying to Mr. Chamberlain, the witness denied that she refused a sovereign from her husband that day. He asked her if she had a shilling to give him. Are you in the habit of taking too much to drink?—No, Sir. You had had nothing that day?—No, I don't think so. I put it to you that you had had too much that dav-I am not exonerating your husband at all—and that you were both in a quarrelsome condition?—No, I was not. Did you walk to the King's Head with him? --T went in front of him and he turned in. Whv didn't you warn the licensee if your husband was drunk?—Being that he was in such a temper, I thought it would be best to wait him outside. Did you ever notice your husband sutterin0 from malaria after having been in India?—At times, he got very queer. Without any drink?—Oh, no, not without drink. For the defence, Mr. Chamberlain contended that the defendant had conducted his house reasonably, and they had evidence that he actually ordered one man out of the house, whilst the deceased was in there. He could prove that Curwen was perfectly sober at the Royal Oak. The evidence of the prosecution was not sufficient to convict the defendant. James Mellor said he was employed by Mr. Sam Hall, gardener, and was a fellow workman with the deceased man Curwen. On the Satur- div in question, Curwen received 22s. in wages, and they both went to the Royal Oak Hotel where they had a private job planting trees on the balcony. Curwen had to carry the trees up the stairs and through the window. He was perfectly sober, and if not, he could not have worked on the balcony which was only 18 inches wide. After finishing the job, they had a glass of beer each. It was a lie-an absolute lie that Mrs. Curwen went down to the Royal Oak and found her husband drunk. He saw Curwen handing something to his wife, but could not say what it was. J. Osborne gave evidence on behalf of the de- fendant. He was in the habit of visiting the King's Head occasionally. He got his daily beer there. He saw Curwen on the day mentioned, and he was not drunk. Mr. Beaumont could not, in his opinion, see anything about the deceased that would show he was drunk. Wit- ness had seen Mr. Beaumont refuse people being served, that witness considered should be served. By Mr. Marks: Curwen was not drunk, but he could not say he was absolutely sober. Walter Beaumont said he saw Curwen come in and go out of the King's Head on the day in question He had two glasses of beer, and could have drunk ten glasses more and gone up the hill easily. On several occasions, he had drawn the line with customers, and on that night he had refused another man. His house was difficult of management, and he and his wife controlled it themselves. He challenged the police to contradict him, when he stated his house was properly conducted. By Mr. Marks: He could judge a man By Mr. Marks: He could judge a man I whether he was drunk or sober all the world over. Curwen was certainly not drunk. He served him with two glasses of beer. On I Saturday night there were many people who were taking Sunday closing in their pockets heme for Sunday, who, as they got up the hill drank the contents, not many yards from his house. Curwen as he went on stooped down and closed the door. Mrs. Curwen was in the lower bar and had two or three glasses of stout. By Mr. Marks Mrs. Curwen had more in his house to drink than her husband. The Bench retired, and after some delibera- tion, the Chairman announced that the Bench were equally divided, and the case would be adjourned for a month. Mr. Chamberlain: Does that mean a re- hearing? The Clerk Yes. Mr. Chamberlain It is very hard on defend- ant. That is all I can say. Very hard.

Abergele Sparks. I don't know whether the following story is true. or whether it is a chestnut. I heard it on Monday morning for the first time. A cer- tain farmer living in this neighbourhood re- cently bought a weather-glass at a public auction. With all the pride of a child with a new toy, he hung it 'n the hall, commonly call the lobby.. But the weather changes did not seem to have the least -fleet on the farmer's orna- ment. It was always on Set fair." One morning recently the rain came down in tor- rents, but the glass spoke Set fair as usual. The farmer could stand such bare-faced lies no longer, and, with contempt on his face and fire in his optics, he got hold of the glassy Ananias by the scruff of the neck and threw it out. to the pig-sty, exclaiming as he did so, Do you believe it's raining now, you miser- able a ;ç Breaching as a substitute for one of the preachers who had failed to turn up at the an- nual preaching meetings of the Independents on Wednesday evening, the Rev. David Morris (W.) said "There are a lot of people living in Abergele who travel to Rhyl and Liverpool to spend their ready cash, but have the audac- ity to patronise local tradesmen when they want goods on credit. And they don't care how many months or years pass before they think of settling their bills. In many cases they don't settle them at all. Take my word for it, those people are very far removed from being anything approaching to Christians. Amen Mr. Morris. Do you know of anything more barbarously out of joint with common fairness than the outrageous charge of 25s. which the relatives of a dead person have to pay, at least in Abergele, for a few feet of earth in which to lay to rest the remains of the departed? Take for example the case of any poor man. with a large family, who has made a brave struggle for existence through life without once seeking parish re- lief. The man dies, as most working-men do, absolutely penniless. The very first claim the helpless widow has to face is the 25s. alluded to. She must pay that even before she pays the undertaker. Of course, the hapless woman could have the remains of her loved one buried in a pauper's grave, although the very word pauperism was uncompromisingly repug- nant to the man's soul when he was alive and able to earn by the sweat of his brow his and his family's daily bread. Don't tell me that we are civilised. That monstrous charge of 25s. for a hole in the earth proves that we are not. Give us free graves even before Free Trade. How? Put them on the rates, and hang the consequences. SEARCHLIGHT.

Abergele District Council. BIKE, TAR, AND A PRETTY PICTURE." COUNTY COUNCIL: THE OLD STORY. The monthly meeting of the Abergele and Pensarn Urban District Council was held in I the Council Chamber on Monday evening, Mr. Edward Williams, J.P., in the chair. Other members present were Messrs. H. E. Prichard, Elias Evans, J. Edwards (Pensarn), W. H. Jones, Isaac Roberts, J. Edwards (Tanyfron), Robert Roberts, j. Buchanan. W. J. Evans, Thomas Evans, J. Pierce, W. P. Morris, and Isaac Morris; with the Clerk (Mr. E. A. Crabbe) and the Surveyor (Mr. M. R. Jones). IS THE TANNERY DOOMED? The Clerk read a letter from Mr. D. Mer- edith, Dolgelley, to the effect that since buying the Abergele Tannery from the Council with a view of working it as a skin yard, a difficulty had arisen which prevented him from doing so. In the face of this fact, he asked that a special meeting of the Council be convened in order to give them an opportunity of taking the place back." Should they not feel inclined to do so, he felt he would be quite at liberty to sell or let the place in lots." Acceding to Mr. Meredith's wishes, a special meeting of the Coiyicil was held on the loth inst., and after giving the letter full considera- tion it was resoi,ed, on the motion of Mr. G. Perkins, seconded by Mr. Thomas Evans, that -Mr. Meredith be not relieved of his bargain, and that lie be called upon to complete the contract. "A PRETTY PICTURE." The Clerk read the following letter sent by Mr. D. M. Hughes, 2, Emlyn Grove, R-hyl:- Dear Sir,— While coming into Abergele on September 29th. by the Gwindy Vaults, with- out noticing that the road was newly tarred, I immediately guided my bicycle to the side of the road, and whilst steering it, the bike slided, and down I came; and a pretty picture I was, saturated to the skin, besides ruining my best suit of clothes, shirt, and singlet. After the Surveyor found out what had happened, he put a plank across. I hereby give you notice that 1 claim the sum of ^4 5s. for damages. Trust- ing to hear from you by return, and a full settlement of my claim. Unless I hear from you, I shall be compelled to place the matter in the hands of my solicitor. You will kindly understand I am not claiming the full amount of compensation. I have witnesses to prove the state I was in, and who can bear out the above statement." And after a pathetic letter like that, the Clerk had written denying liability! Worse still, the Clerk's action was approved by the Council!! THIEVES, BEWARE The Surveyor reported that some person or persons unknown had been tampering with the penny-in-the-slot lock on the door of a certain convenience at Pensarn. The sum total for collection in the box for a whole month was only threepence. Mr. W. P. Morris thought the action of the modern Dick Turpin reprehensible to a degree. A person who would rob the Council of a few coppers would rob a thousand pounds if he had half a chance. It was a great pity the culprit could not be laid by the heels. In the past the Council had been prone to show too much mercy to persons caught damaging its property. Mr. II. E. Prichard: It might not be the work of Abergele people. Perhaps a casual triimp called there and found a grand oppor- tunity of filling his pockets with a few pennies to help him on the weary way. Mr. W. P. Morris (to the Surveyor) Have you ever had your suspicions aroused by the action of any local men in that vicinity, Mr. Jones? The Surveyor: Yes, sir—by two Abergele men. Eventually it was decided to offer a reward of £2 to anyone giving information that would lead to the conviction of the guilty person. STAND AT EASE' On the motion of Mr. J. Edwards, Pensarn, it was decided to store away for the winter all the portable seats on the promenade. CONFERENCE OF SURVEYORS. The Surveyor reported on the result of his attendance at the conference of surveyors (of whom there were ic,) held at Denbigh on the 2ist ultimo to consider the Development and Road Improvement Funds Act, and to make suggestions thereon. It was ascertained at the conference that the Government had only set aside the sum of £ 600,coo to work the Act throughout the Kingdom. Out of that sum, the Western Division of Denbighshire's share would only be ^2,00, whereas applications for ^40,000 had already been made. Ultimately," added Mr. Jones, on the motion of your humble servant, the whole question was left to the County Council Main Roads Committee to be dealt with." The Clerk said that he had also received a letter from the Clerk to the County Council on the matter. The purport of that letter was to the effect that the Chairman and County Main Roads Surveyor had Lent in their report on the matter, which was as follows — "After examining the applications from the various authorities for carrying out improve- ments on rural main roads, rural district coun- cil roads, and on urban district council roads, we consider that the most extensive and ex- pensive claims submitted should stand over or be deferred for the present. The following we consider is the most de- serving case, inter alia Widening of Llanfair road, at an estimated cost of fI,750, if the work can be carried out by a grant and loan. Applications" b (improving gradient at Rose Hill), "c (excavating the whole of Llanfair road), and d (tar painting Market-street and Llanfair-road) should be deferred for the pre- sent. When making application to the Road Board, state that the application is made with the approval of the County Council." It ought to be added that the foregoing letter was sent as the result of a meeting of the County Council Urban Main Roads Committee, held at Wrexham on the 2,9th September. THE TOWN PLANNING ACT. The Clerk reported having received a circular letter re the above Act. It was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the Medical Officer of Health and the Surveyor. THE OLD, OLD STORY. The Clerk read the following letter from the Clerk to the County Council: -"Abergele Main Roads, 1910-11. Your letter of the 25th August was read at the meeting of the Urban Main Roads Committee on the 15th inst., when the following resolution was passed, viz. That the resolution passed on the igth June, recom- mending the County Council to enter into a contract for the maintenance, &c., of the main roads for the current year for the sum of Z522 be adhered to, and that the Urban Council be informed that the Committee is prepared to receive a dejmtalion from them to discuss the matter if they so desire.' The Clerk explained that the Council's esti- mate (through the Surveyor) for the work to be done was £85°' Mr. J. Pierce moved that the suggestion of the deputation to wait upon the County Coun- cil be not entertained. He had thought that the hatchet had been buried as far as these perpetual controversies between the two Coun- cils with regard to the maintenance of the Aber- gele main roads was concerned. But, as usual, it was the same old story, in the same old way. Whatever estimate the Abergele Council thought fit to submit to them, the County Council took it for granted that it was their duty to mutilate it out of recognition. It was not good enough by a long chalk. Mr. J. Edwards (Tanyfron) was of the same opinion. He moved that they proceed with the work, and if the County Council were not pre- pared to pay them their first claim, then they should apply to the Local Government Board for arbitration. Mr. Thomas Evans supported. Mr. H. E. Prichard moved as an amendment that the suggested deputation should be sent. He was of opinion that they should approach the County Council in the best possible spirit. Mr. W. J. Evans supported Mr. Prichard's amendment, which was carried by a large majority. The deputation will consist of the Chairman, Mr. H. E. Prichard and Mr. W. H. Jones A WATER NUISANCE. A WARM DISCUSSION." The Clerk read a letter from Mr. D. Mac Nicol calling the attention of the Council to the flooding of Pentremawr park, caused by the overflowing of water from a ditch near by with- in the urban area, and asking that the nuis- ance be abated forthwith. Mr. Thomas Evans warned the Council that it was dangerous to trifle with a man of the importance of Mr. Mac Nicol. He would go to law in order to secure his rights without the slightest hesitation. Mr. W. P. Morris (vehemently) A Council- lor who stands up in this room to warn us as to the threats of any estate agent is not worthy to represent the ratepayers. Such conduct is disgraceful. I move that the letter lie on the table, and that no further notice should be taken of it. After an inordinately long discussion, carried on with some warmth, it was decided, on the motion of Mr. Prichard, that the Sanitary Com- mittee and the Surveyor inspect the ditch and report thereon. SAVE THE KIDDIES. The Clerk read a letter from the Clerk to the County Council calling the attention of the Council to the fact that very few local authori- ties appreciated the benefits which newly-born babies would derive through the aid of the Notification of Birth Act, 1907, if it was gen- erally adopted, although it was not compulsory to do so. NI r. W. P. Morris I propose the matter be left to the Sanitary Committee to be dealt with. (Loud laughter.) Mr. W. II. Jones: Why not the Streets and \Yorks Committee? (More laughter.) Mr. J. Pierce I propose we leave the matter in abeyance. Mr. Thomas Evans What's the use of hav- ing children at all? Result: The next meeting to settle it. THE PRINCE OF WALES. Mr. W. P. Morris, commenting upon the forthcoming Investiture of the Prince of Wales at Carnarvon, said that both North and South Wales had fought hard for the honour of the ceremony. If Cardiff had succeeded in their claim to have the great event, Mr. Morris was sure that Abergele would have congratulated them upon their success. At the same time, he was very glad that the claims of Carnarvon had not been overlooked. IVales was proud of the honour conferred upon her by the Crowned Head of Great Britain—an honour which car- ried with it the recognition that Gallant Little W ales was a nation. This fact ought to bring shame to the face of such slanderers of Cymru as the author of The Perfidious Welshman." He (Mr. Morris) moved that the Council send their heartiest congratulations to the Mayor of Carnarvon on the great honour the King had conferred on the town. Mr. W. J. Evans, as a Carnarvon man," seconded the motion in a stirring speech.— Carried with enthusiasm. THE KING EDWARD MEMORIAL. Mr. II. E. Prichard suggested that the Coun- cil should move in the matter of supporting the contemplated scheme of having sanatoriums for con suiiiptive.one in South and one in North Wales—as a memorial for the late King Edward. Mr. J. Edwards (Tanyfron) was of the same opinion. On the motion of Mr. W. J. Evans, it was decided to call a public mteting to consider what steps the town should take by way of financial help to the scheme already launched. SEARCHLIGHT,

A Vale of Conway Rector and the Schoolmaster. A SCHOOL DISPUTE. The Rev. Ellis Davies, Rector of Llanddoget, Denbighshire, who is also the correspondent of the village school, and who has held the living some eighteen months, and Mr. Roberts, the head master of the Llanddoget National School, who up to a short time ago was the organist of the Llanddoget Church, judging by the let- ters each have addressed to the Denbigshire Education Committee, have failed to agree. The County Education Authority submitted the correspondence to the Llanrwst school man- agers for their consideration. At the meeting of the managers the Chairman (Councillor W. Hughes) read the letters. The Rev. Ellis Davies wrote that he visited the school one day at 3.10 p.m., when he found the children playing in the yard, and not one of the teachers was on the premises. When the head master and his daughters, who were the assistant teachers, appeared he remon- strated with them for leaving the school prem- isese during the school hours', when he (the Rector) became the subject of bitter abuse. The daughters were often at home when they should be in school, and often were engaged at their own personal sewing in the school when they should be teaching the pupils, but when- ever he addressed them upon the subject they became most abusive. The head master in reply pointed out that the Rector had only been in the parish eighteen months, and was not satisfied until he had made it so unbearable for him as to cause him to resign his position as Church organist, to enable the rector's wife to secure the post, which carried with it an emolument of £6 10s. per annum. He had been a teacher for over forty years, for twenty of which he had been engaged as head master of Llanddoget school. During that period, as a perusal of the inspec- tor's reports would disclose, his methods had always given satisfaction, and had invariably been favourably commented upon. Mr. T. R. Jones inquired whether the Rector had first addressed himself to the Foundation Manager or had he written direct to the County Education Committee? The Chairman replied that evidently he had chosen the latter course. Mr. D. Roberts: Had the Rector any right to enter the school? The Chairman Yes, he is the school corre- spondent. Mr. D. Roberts Then the teachers ought to have treated him with respect. On the motion of Alderman W. J. Williams, it was decided to refer the correspondence to the Foundation Managers and await their re- port before taking further steps.
