PRESENTATION fcTOfi MB. W. Mc. DAVIES. At the Castle Hotel, fiutnin, on Friday evening, a very pleasant gathering took place, when two presentations were made to Mr W Me Kinlay Davies, son of the late Yicar of Llanynys, who, with his mother and family, are abant te leave the district. Mr 140 Davies, as has been al- ready paid, is very well known throughout the Vale of Clwyd, espeolally as an amateur entertainer, and it was felt that he ought not to be allowed to depart without some memento of his friends and acquaintances in this part of the world. A committee was formed, with Mr W HoüBon Owen, North and South Wales Bank, as secretary, and tiiey quickly collected some forty-two pounds, which was done without effort, as the subscriptions flowed in freely. It was decided to present to him a gold watch, With chain and seal, and the remainder in gold. The watch was obtained from Mr T H R gby, of St Petel'ltIUare, is an 18- carat gold centre seooads chronograph stop watch, with the following inscription :— Presented to Mr W Me Kinlay Davies by personal friends in the Vale of Clwyd, as a slight memorial of much regard." His Tn~r-am is Oil He UiO. It been felt by the committee, on account of the recent bereavement of the faaiilf. it would be in accordance with Mr Me Davies'a wish that the presentation shouli be mada privately wiin only the members of the committee present. The committee trust that, in doing so, they have approval of the subscribers, to whom they tender their grateful thanks for the generous response to the appeal. At the presentation ceremony, the Rev: W P W hitting ton, M.A., headmaster of the Grammar School, of which Mr Mc Davies Is an Old Boy, presided, and there wera present Messrs Lloyd, of Rhag- gatt, W Lloyd (town clerk), W G Rigby, L G Thomas (N & 8 W Bank), E P Jones (Plaa iiiillynyl), W Jones (L & P Bank), T Jercan, Lambert Cole, T H Rigby, W M T-inor, R H Bleackley, Joe Jenkins, J W Kershaw, C E Jones, and W Hooson Owen; hon secretary. The Chairman said he considered himself honoured by their ropost that he should assist in endeavouring to earry out the pur- pose or thati amting. But he assured them that the pleasure which it gave him was s ingled with sinoere regret at the loss winch they are about to sustain in the departure of their friend, Mr Me Davies, from ~ha neighbourhood. Some fifteen years ago he entered the old Grammar Soho, and as a bey won their regard by his £ ?nial and manly charaeter. They know L;.w these and other characteristics had been developed in manhcod, so that he had in a marked degree drawn to himself the esteem and lasting affectum of all (applause). Mr Me Davies had always ;hrown himself with great heartiness into Lt bletics,whather cricket or football—and s lad rendered valuable aid to Mr W G Rigby n the formation of the Llanyehan Cricket r lub. It would be no easy task to esti- < mate the value of his services, when asked bo assist in any charitable undertaking, i How kindly and readily, how freely and ] how generously had he put forth his best p efforts to further some deserving cause (applause). While they knew that his genial manners—his Manly and straight- forward actions would win him many friends in a new sphere, they were equally sure that his friends in the Vale of Clwyd would not forget him. Turning to Mr Mo Davies, the Chairman said We ask you to accept from those who esteem you highly this gold watch and ehain as a slight memorial of our regard—a token of affection from your personal friends in the Vale of Clwyd and from the Masters and Boys of Ruthin Grammar School; at the same time we are convinced that no chain or link is necessary tp bind us ciosar together in mutual friendship. On behalf and in the name of the subscribers it gives me great pleasure to make the presentation with our earnest wishes for your success and happiness (loud applause). Mr Lloyd, of Rhagatt, said it was a great pleasure to him to attend at that function, for no ine had greater respect for Mr MoDavies's parents than he had, and he had always considered the Davies's one of the nicest and most kindly disposed families in the Vale of I Clwyd. It was regrettable that they were leaving and that their services, always :;1) freely renderedr would be no more at the I public disposal (applause). They would all be the losers by that event (applause), and especially by the departure of Mr McDavies, whoso frank and genial person- ality they all appreciated (applause). He hoped there was a bright future for the family, and with the very sincerest and heartiest good will he begged to present to Mr MoDavies a purse of gold, on behalf of the subscribers, wherewith he could be assisted to remember the friends he was leaving behind him (applause). Mr W G Rigby iaid that as one who had shirked the responsible position which Mr Lloyd had taken up on his behalf, he would not like the meeting to close without having endorsed the good words said by Mr Whittington and Mr Lloyd. One of the most characteristic points about Mr McDavies was his sunny, genial and unaffected temperament and nature. All who came into contact with Mr McDavies must feel that they were better men for knowing a man 01 his character, for he brightened everyone with whom he came into toueh, and ehed warmth and kindli- iwrs wherever he went (applause). They all hoped that he would in the end come back to his native air, and he would reoeive a warm welcome (applause). Mr McDavies, who was received with applause, said that the position he was in, owing to their great kindness and to the great kindness of those who were absent, was perhaps one of the most, delicate and difficult positions one could be asked to face. The 25 years he had lived amengst them in Ruthin and the district had certainly been the happiest part of his life. He was educated at the dear old Ruthin _1 I scnooi nucler Mr Whittington, and he attributed all the success he had attained to the geniality and kindness of their head master (applause). It had always been a source of pleasure to him to take part in any entertainment, and he was always willing to help any good oause, and required no thanks for that (applause). lie was sure they would exonse him for not making any long speech, but in eon- elusion he wished to thank those who had contributed to these handsome presents and for the bag of money, which would be moat useful to him. He also wished to thank them on behalf of his mother and brothers and sister for all the kindnesa extended to them recently and at all other times, He ooncludei by saying Good Bye to them all (applause). Mr William Jones said that his friend- ship with Mr McDavies had been a very short one compared with that of his other friends present, but at the same time it had been a sincere one and a pleajant one, and he hoped that for the future the wings of their friendship would never moult a single feather (applause). Mr T Jerman also gave a few very suitable remarks as to the qualities of Mr McDavies, dwelling especially upon the work they had done together in connection with the entertainments at Llanyehan school. Mr W Lloyd said he had always foand Mr McDavies ready to come forward and help in any entertainment he had had to promote in the town of Ruthin. end he fehoUit.; sniki a.ih..ii man v '-a. lit1 onouiu anas hnu iur instance as a member of their old trio, who gained such renown by singing A little farm well tilled (laughter). He would also miss him as one of the Old Boja Team, for whenever the 01,1 B°J0 could not t«d Mr McDaritis alw»V3 ready to take his place. They could not MoD«i,8 in oowecio. with the Old Boys Team, and they would have to send for him most certainly at the next rc-union of Old Ruthinians (applause). Mr J W Kershaw said that Mr McDavies and he had sung together once or twice (applause), and they had been on terms of intimate friendship for years. Hence, he felt he ought to say how much he regretted Mr McDavies's departure, and how much he desired his prosperity in the new home to which he was going (ap- plause). Mr Ellis Powell Jones said that Mr MeDavies and he, and Mr MoDavies's family had been close friends for many years. He could well remember Mr McDavies coming to the vicarage. He was sowing turnips at the time, and the boye wanted to ride on hia pony (laughter), the three of them in turns (laughter). All the family had been the kindest neighbours he ever had. He had been living at Plas for 60 years, and the Davies's had been at the Rectory for 25 years, and there had not been the least sign of a disagreement between them during all that time (ap- plause). Now they were going to York- shire, but he hoped the day would come when they would return, and when ke would see their faces at Plas again (applause). Mr Bleackley and Mr OjJE Jones having ipoken in similar effect, Mr C E Jones moved and Mr L G Chomas seconded a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was carried unanimously. The Chairman thanked the meeting for the vote, and all the subscribers for their kindness, and he then moved a cordial vote of thanks to Mr Hooson Owen, the seeret- ary, who bad done the work not merely with the efficiency of the secretary, but with the enthusiasm of the friend and comrade of t-he oricket. field (applause). Was it not true that wherever they found tho appreciation of cricket there they found true comradeship ? (applause). He was not present at the last Llanyohan dinner, but he must say that club had done a great deal not only for cricket but for the social harmony of this part of the Yale (applause). Mr Lloyd of Rhagatt seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. Mr Owen, in reply, said that what he had done in connection with the testimonial had been a pure labour of love. They would greatly mitis Mr Me Davies at Llan- ychan, and they were very sorry indeed when, at the beginning of the last season, he had the misfortune to break his leg The number of the subscribers was 97, and the amount realised was about Z42, including the small amount still out- standing, and this sum had been disposed of thus For the watch, chain and seal, £23 151 in the purse, Y,16 (applause). The proceedings then terminated.

BUTHIN POLICE COURT. MOKDAY.-—Befor* the Bev Chancellor Bulkeley Jonos, warden, in the ohair, Mr G H Denton, Capt F B 0 Cole, Mr G Blezard, Dr J R Jenkins, Mr W T Rouw and Mr J Watkin Lumley. CUEIOUS GAME' CASE. NTPMIFOCS POINTS OF LAW. Thomas David Ellis, of Bronhyfryd, Pwllglas, was charged that he did, on, November 3rd, enter ia the daytime upon land the shooting rights of which belonged to Col W Cornwallis West, for the purpose of taking a partridge. Mr Edward Roberts (Messrs Lloyd and Roberts) prosecuted, and Mr A 0 Evans defended. Henry Molyneux, the prosecutor, who said he was a gamekeeper in the employ of Col W CornwalJis West, said on the date named, about mid-day, he was going along the road towards Eyarth bridge, when he heard a shot which sounded as if it came from thsir land. There was another keeper with him named Clarke, whom he sent one way, while he went another way. They arranged to meet at a certain point. He went along the road until he came to the boundary fence between Mrs Kiizabeth Ellis, of Cilygroeslwyd, and a field belong- ing to Ty Foster. He then saw Thomas Ellis standing in the Ty Fester field. He saw Thomas Ellis Bending bis white fox terrier dog into the wood. Witness was then about 40 yards away from defendant, and he want orer on to the grsnnd of Mrs Ellis. The wood here belonged to the trustees of the lato Mr Johnson, and Col West had the shooting rights. He walked up to Thomas Ellis. He got within about five yards of him, aid he could hear him encouraging his dog to hunt. The dog went on the land, of which Colonel West had the shooting, defendant saying "good dog," and BO forth. The tdog got np a partridge and also a pheasant. The partridge came np from their land and flew into the field, where Mr Thomas Ellis was standing, and ¡ Ille snot at it, lulled it, aad it fell on the field. Defendant walked towards the fence and pieked up the bird, which he stroked wi.h his baud, then turning its head under its wing, and putting it in his pocket. Witness said "What do you mean by sending your dog on our land ? Defendant said he did act do so. Witness replied I saw you do it." He remarked "I suppose you have a license to kill game?" De- fendant laid" No, I have not." Witness then said You will hear more about this," and walked away. Cross-examined by Mt' Evans, witness said he had known the defenlant some time and had been on friendly termb with him. Defendant had been shooting in -wifïneu's company, but not at witness's invitation. Ty Foster was occupied by Mr Pinningtoc, bat witness did not know that Mr Ellis looked afl,or it when Mr Pinningtou was away, It was part of the holding called Craig Fadryn. The wood where the partridge was raised belonged to the trustees of the late Mr Johnson, but thsrehad bean an understand- ing for years that Col West Bhould have the shooting over this land. That was all witness knew of it-that Col Wear had shot over tho land for many years. The com- plaint witness made against Mr Ellis was, in h*i«f, that he tneouraged his dog to go into the wood, and then shot the bird which his dog got up. ) Charl.. Clarke, undsr keeper, gave con. firmatory evidence. e Mr Evans said he rose to address the I bench with absolute confidence as to th« result. The Jaw was entirely in favour of the defendant. He should first say that the defendant was a miin of irreproachable eharaoter and of independent means, and he livAd FL* P^llglap. Tb8 Ctmt.a keepers wvjfc d Hue having If SCCiH tm Ml UWlJ "j iu ifild UiiUtft of tho Castle shooting, or what they claimed to be their shooting, although he entirely disputed that, in point of law. The Chairman said Mr Evans ought to dea) with the points of law which had been raised. Mr Byans said that in the first plaoe he claimed that there had been no entry in the meaning of the Act of Parliament. Mr Edward Roberts said it was held by Lord Ellenboro in the Court of Appeal that a man who from the outside of a elose discharged a gun into it so that the shot must have atruck the soil was guiity of entering, and a dog jumping into a close with the cooment or by the inducemerat oi his master was held te be a trespass on the part of the master. M* John Roberts, representing Mr Ll Adams, the clerk, who was not well, said it had been held that the words "entering or being in the 30th Btction of the Statute, meant a personal and not a constructive entry. Lord Carapbell, in a case named, said, I thinK a man sending a dog is to a cover would not be sufficient to support a conviction, for the offence contemplated by the legislature was that the offender should be personally on the land on which the trespass is alleged to have been committed." Mr Edward Roberts argued that the case he quoted app.ied, being on all fours with the present one. The Chairman agreed that the point raised by Mr Edward Roberts, if a resent decision, covered the case. Mr Lumley said be did not agree that it did, and he urged that in an important matter of law of that kind they should not base their decisions upon Stone's Justices' Manual. The Chairman said he was sorry he could net jigree with Mr Lumley, as htone was revised annually, and this was taken from the issue el 1897. Mr Evans contended that the deoision named by Mr Roberts was considerably older than that rwad by the Clerk The fienoh then decided to hold that the entry by the dog should be sonstrued to be an entry on the part of the defendant. Mr Evans ih*u made the further point that it was for the prosecution to prove their right to the shooting iu this case. The Clerk, at the request of the Bench, stated that this was a common law offence, and anybody could lay the information. Mr Edward Roberts said the preof Ms Evans wanted them to produce could only be demanded should the defendant claim the right of shooting es this laud, which bit made no pretence of doing. I After a consultation with the justices, The Chairman said that point also failed. Mr Evans then applied to the court for an adjournment of the case, in order that the tenant of the land, Mrs JUlia, might be produced as a witness. She would prove that she had net made any agreement with her landlord for him to reserve the shooting on her farm. Mr Edward Roberts submitted that if Mrs Ellis came there it would not alter tho case in the slightest degree. ¡ Mr Lumley said he felt that the applica- tion was a reasonable one, and he was in favoar of granting it. I The other members of the bench were in favour of the oase being decided. Mr Evans then said he would bow to the decision of the benoh, but they would hear further of the matter. I The Clerk stated that the defendant, if I he desired, could give evidence in his own behalf. Mr Edward Roberts contended that this could not be done now, as Mr Evans I had lost his right to call him. It was laid down in the Act, and was decided the previous week, that a defendant must give evidence immediatQly after the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr Evans said the oourt refused te allow him to address them on the facts the* in- sisted upon his addressing them upon the I questions of law. He had to do what the bench dictated to him, and not oonduot the case in his own way. lionoe, he contended I, that he shoald be allowed to call the defendant. Mr Edward Roberts was proceeding to 'I argue the matter, when The Chairman said that no doubt Mr Roberts desired to give the defendant every fair-play. Mr Edward Roberts remarked that he was only anxious that the oa*@ shoald be conducted aooording to law. The objeoiof the regulation as to the time when the defendant must give his evidence was intended to prevent his first hearing the witnesses, and then making his evidence accord with theirs. The benoh decked that, as Mr Evans had not addressed the court as to the faats, The Defendant might be oalled, and he accordingly enured the box. He said that when Mr Pinningten was away he was in sole charge of Graig Fadryn, and part of the holding was called by Molyneux, rosters Field. As no one was staying on the premises the rabbits came good deal into the field, and he wsnt thsre daily to shoot them. On the afternoon in question he was there with a gun and a small fox terrier. He heard the keepers beating below, and he thought he should have a shot at a raibit if he stayed. A rabbit came, and he shot at it, killed it, aad put L S his pocket. About the same time as he fired he heard anotkex shot, and his dog picked up a partridge. He did not shoot the partridge, but Molyneux did. Molyneux had a retriever and a spaniel with him, and dtfendant's dog went to them through the nedge, when the keeper said if he did not call the dog baok he would blow its brains out. Dsfentfant did net send the dog is to the cover nor did he shoot the partridge. As a matter of fact he had always boon very eareful about letting his dogs go into this cover, few about 12 months ago when he Was taking a valuable dog belonging to Mr W C Robeits, of Llandudno, down to Eyarth Station, it had poison at the bottom of the very place now in dispute. Cross-examined He did not say anything to Molyneux about the rabbit, although the keeper did tell him that he shot the part- ridge. Defendant told him that it was he (the keeper) who did it. The justioes having, retired to sensider their deoision, The Chairman said they thought the case proved, and defendant was fined 5s and costss, with the advooates fee of 10s 6d. The total amount of the fice and costs was XI 88 6d. Mr Evans asked was that the unanimous decision of the Bench. He asked this ad- visedly, in view of possible proceedings in another oourt. The Chairman: I think ihsrs is no objection to my saying that it is the unani- mous deciiiion of the Bench. THE SERVING OF BRINK TO CHILDREN. MR LUMLEY PROTESTS AND IS SUPPORTED BY TjHK BENCH. Mr Lumiey said he had vuatter to bring to the notioe of I ha Bench in -aference to ??. supplying of drink, by publicans, to cmiciren. He was very much surprised that Inorniul in comillg to cburt to seo °h:»-xfla, nader the &'û c; six waf 0 eccumcr -,i public he -n vr;-V» bottles I i-o ioiiowea oi them into ihe house to which it was going, wiiere, to his great sorrow and pain, tho 6 grandmother and mother of the child onr;oc'tragiu- the chiid to become a Km ii'!? £ y ?iviBg dtink out of tbis *«ry Dttblia ]) brought straight from the SSILtlT\ Jhe ju8lic8a °f the ooa*% notice of P°liC3 to take particular wUh 1-?LP ".Cans who sapplisd children «f env Hn l *° present no report «f &nj kind had been made by the polios iu tilis divmon. He thought that other justices on tnat benob had, with himself, seen a number 0 £ publicans in Ruthin suppIvms Lhasa small children, and he thought that a pnbnc reference such as he waa tuakmg that day was necessary, sseine that theto was so much drunkenness in the town, mid that they had made a special appeal to the police to take cognisance of thosa who did not conform to the require- ments of the bench in this matter. He hoped that beforft the nuxfc annual licensing sing session the police would take particular notice of publicans snpplying children under 13 years of age, and that they would report to the bench at the licensing sessions in order tbt the magistrates might consider whether they bhould rsfuse to renew the licenses of such persons. The Chairman, the Rev Chanodler Bulkeley Jones, si'jd he quite agreed with Mr Lumley, and he hoped the publicans of Ruthin would take particular note of what had beeu said. There had been no legis- lation on the point yet, bnt very probably there wonld be, but meanwhile the justioes ought to discourage the supplying of drink to children of tender years in anyway they I could. The other justices on the benoh also expressed their concurrence with the re marks Mr Lumley had made. Supt H Jones said the police weuld take oareful note cf what the Justices had said

DYNAMITE FUSE MAKERS' STRANGE REVELATIONS. Explosives have become the staple industry of the St. lgjkes district of Cornwall.

My arms felt as if they were not my own. My left arm was eontinually aobing, and my hands and feet used to sting and go numb. I also oceaeionally lost the use of my left side as if I ware paralysed. If I went upstairs I had to clini; to the banisters and to sit down and rest half-way op. I was in this condition for eighteen months ox two years. My fellow workpeople told my mother I was going into a oonsnmption. I had no blood in my body, and could hardly bear to draw breath. About IS months ago I read an article in the paper about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I got a box. I took them three times a day, and in a fortnight I felt great relief. I only took four boxes and at the end of that time I felt cured, and have taken nothing in the form of medioiae sinoe." So looi( as the package bears the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, these pills can be safely bought anywhere, but in case of doubt it is beat to send direct to Dr. Williams' Medicine Omy.any, 46, Holborn- viaduot, London, E.C. (enolosing the price, Us. 9d. or for six boxee 13». 94). This young lady's experience (her name is Miss Daisy Coon, of Fore-street, Cambourne) illustrates very olearly a danger threatening many men and women. Car«Ie»« disregard of deficient health allows the blood time to get thin and poor, tho body loses pewer to resist disease, the nsrves and spine grow weak. Presently a common cold leads to a cough, blood is lost, and consumption seiaea another victim. This kind of thing oeours over and over again; the way to avoid it ia to aot early. As soon as you grow pale or sallow, when your back aches and yoa get out of breath, with a beating heart, after a slight run, or when a meal leaves you with a "full" feeling and a sense of langeur, take the one great tonic. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make new blood it is not an experiment to try them, yoe tan judge of their effect in a very s*>orl time. By renewing the blood and by the tonio effect on the nervaa and spine, they have cared in thoasands of cases paralysis, looomotor ataxy, rheumatiovo, maiatica, riekets, eon- sumption, antenia, pale and sallow complexion, palpitations, heart disease, neuralgia, early decay, all forms of foanale weakness, and hysteria.

THE WELSH LIBRARY AT ABER- YSTWYTH COLLEGE.. Two years age a small committee was formed in connection with the above College to take into consideration the desirability of making a I collection of Welsh books. It was fopnd that I TV.i _i 11 ..1 _8 I I 140. ntiiia noois at tne Uoilegs were composed mainly of the gifta •? people interested in the work tbers, who had voluntarily sent oontri- bstions to the library, together with books purchased for the College from a small grant reeomaseaded aanaally by the Senate. Princi- pal Edwards also, in hia aeal for every depart- ment of the College life, had prevailed upon a few people to present rare and valaable Welsh books. Necessarily, the collection thus formed, though interesting ia itself, could not be appropriately sailed a library, for many of the commonest Welsh elaseios were wanting and even books necessary to the study of Welsh in the College itself were conspicuous by their absence. This being so, the Committee im. mediately went to work and soon prevailed upon a large number of prominent Welshmen to allow their names to be placed on the Library Commietee. e The result of these measures waa that Welsh 800n came valuable g extreaaelJ rare The Isto Mr Geeof Denbigh, who had always been a close friend to the College, presented a *arge paper oopy of Dr Owen Pugbe's Welsh- English dictionary with the author's correct- ions.
