t POLICE COURT. STEALING A CLOCK FROM THE BOAR'S HEAD. At a special police court, held on Monday, before Mr. J. Watkin Lnmley in the chair, and the Mayor (Dr. Hughes), Fred. Evans, labourer, Rhewl, was charged in custody with stealing a clock 'of the value of 5s. from the Boar's Bead, Ruthin, on the 17th of January. Sergeant Woollam said: On January 17th, information was given by Mrs. Jones, of the Boar's Head Inn, Ruthin, that a small metal alarm clock had been stolen from the house on the previous day. In conse- quence of the information, I circulated a description of the clock, and of the man supposed to have stolen it, throughout the district. On Saturday last, I wentl to Cor- wen and there saw the prisoner in custody. I was handed this clock (produced) by the sergeant of police there. I brought the prisoner to Ruthin and charged him, with stealing a clock, valued at 5s., from the Boar's Head. When I charged him I had the clock in my hand. He said (that is the clock, I took it for a lark, and I did not like to take it back. I was a fool in doing it, and I am very sorry. I had the clock about me ever since I stole it, and I thought of sending it back.' To the Bench I have known prisoner for years as a farm labourer. I know nothing against his character. He was arrested at a farm, in Carrog, and handed the clock to the Corwenpolicè I I, The Clerk said that the owner of the clock I was in court, and would be called to iden. ¡ tify it. The landlady of the Boar's Head 1 wad laid up, and was therefore unable to [ come to court to prove that the prisoner e visited the house on the day that the clock jj was stolen. Richard Parry Jones, landlord of the Boar's Head was then called, and swore that the clock was his property. Prisoner on being charged, pleaded guilty, and elected to be tried summarily. The Chairman (addressing the prisoner) said the bench had decided to deal lenient- ly with him, on account of his action in handing the clock to the police. His action did not appear to be that of an accomplished thief, as he evidently did not intend to dis- pose of the clock for the purpose of gain. Taking this view of the case, the bench would only fine him 5s. and 19s. costs, in default 14 days imprisonment with hard labour. Prisoner applied for time to pay, and was allowed a week.

. DENBIGHSHIRE ASSIZES.
At the intimation of his Lordship, counsel agreed to Jeave the case here, and his Lordship then addressed ths jury, who, after a brief de- liberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but that the prisoner was insane at the time he aommitted the act.' The Judge: I have now to make an order fcbat prisoner be detained in an appropriate place for the insane during Her Majesty's pleasure. A LLANRWST PROMISSORY-NOTE CASE. Hugh Henry Jones, 28, Commission Agent, was indicted for having, by false pretences, induced Henry Jones, his father, and William Jones, to execute a promissory-note for the payment of £ 60. E. Jones-Griffith, M.P. (instructed by Messrs. Griffith and Allard, Llanrwst), appeared to prosecute, and the prisoner was defended by S. Moss, M.P. (instructed by Messrs. D. Jones and Roberts, Llanrwst). We have already published the detail of this ease. Mr. Belcher was called, and stated on oath that prisoner, at his request, translated the promissory-note to his father and brother, and explained the nacure of it. Ultimately, the father denied liability, on the ground that he had not signed it, knowing it to be a promissory- ttot-e. He had only received 123 10s. on account of the money due. Mr. Moss: When you had an interview with prisoner's father, did you tell him that you were charging an interest of 200 per cent. on tire money lent? Mr. Belcher: I stated that I charged £60 for the loan of the f45 advanced. The Judge This will be very useful to you, Mr. Moss, when Lord James' Bill comes before the House of Commons (laughter). Mr. Moss: Thank you, my Lord, it will (re- newed laughter). Mr. E. J. Griffith: It will, undoubtedly, prove an interesting fact,' my Lord. Henry Jones was then called and denied that he signed the note knowing it to be a pro- inissory-note for the sum named. His son (the prisoner) said it was simply a guarantee for the collection of monies due for sewing machines. If he had known the business of Belcher, he would have whipped him out of his « yard (laughter). Mr. Griffith: Didn't you give Belcher a cup of tea when he was at your house? Witness No, but he got a little milk. The Judge: People have entertained angels unawares, Mr. Griffith (laughter). William Jones also gave evidence to the effect that he did not know that the document he was signing was a promissory-note, or he would not have done so. Superintendent Jarvis, Llanrwst, proved that prisoner had been a respectable man, and had neen in business at Dolyddelen as a grocer. Bis premises were burnt down, and since then he had acted as a commission agent. Mr. Moss, for the defence, called no wit- nesses, and then submitted that there was no evidence to show that prisoner was guilty of false pretences. The jury found a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenced to three months' hard labour. SHOOTING AN ABERGELE BAILIFF. Ellis Hughes, 68, plamber, Abergele, was charged with feloniously shooting Wilkes Ro- berts, also of Abergele, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. He was also charged with wounding Wilkes Roberts with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. S. Moss (instructed by Mr. Francis Nunn, Colwya Bay), prosecuted, and, at the request of the Judge, Mr. Trevor Lloyd defended the irisoner. Mr. Moss gave the history of the case, with which our readers are already familiar, it having appeared in these columns. Wilkes Roberts, after stating how the pri- soner had fired at him, said that thirteen shots had been taken out of his wrist. He also pro- duced the warrant and his coat, showing the holes caused by the shot. Evidence was also given by W. Dew, Thomas Whitaker, Inspector Roberts, and P.C. Ro- berts. Mr. Trevor Lloyd then addressed the court for the defence. The Jury found prisoner guilty of unlawfully wounding only, and he was sentenced to twelve sqonths imprisonment with hard labour. When addressed by his Lordship, prisoner said he did jnot fire the gun, but that the shot went off because prosecutor jumped to the gun. There was nothing in it at the time but powder, and nothing had been for thirteen months. The Judge: Thirteen shots in this man's wrist you mean (laughter). You had better be quiet, because if vou tell an untruth, you will io yourself more harm than good. This is not the first time you have been in trouble for violence; you were bound over in the sum of 95t) to keep the peace, and also bound over and ordered to pay the costs for using words calcu- lated to a breach of the peace. The prisoner, who strongly protested, was then removed. COLLAPSE OF A PROSECUTION. John Jones, 54, a wellknown cattle dealer of Wrexham, was indicted for stealing 930, the money of one Sarah Windsor, on the 20th of October, at Bersharn. Mr. Moss prosecuted (instructed by Mr. Wynne Evans, Wrexham), and Mr. R. Bankes (instructed by Messrs. Hughes and Bate, Wrex. ham), defended. Before any evidence had been given, the Judge asked why this case could not be heard in the County Court,fas it appeared to be a proper case to be thrashed out there than in an Assize Court. Mr. Moss said he knew nothing about the case further than the facts frecorded in the depositions. L Mr. Bankes said that his client, fiWfrofall, took civil proceedings for slander, and then prosecutor took the present proceedings. After considerable argument, the Judge directed the Jury to return a verdict of 'Net Guilty,' and expljuned that what had transpired would not prejudice the case when it became to be tried in the County Court. The Jury then acquitted the prisoner, and he was discharged. The only civil action entered at these Assizes was one in which Messrs. P. and H. Lewis, Conway, sued a Mr. Fruen for 9101 5a. 8d.,and this was settled, the defendant agreeing-to an order for the full amount. Mr. E. Jones-Griffith, M.P., was for the plaintiff.
