Sir John Williams said he was entitled to have information in his own way, and ho was going to. Ti.,c, Chairman added that he also was entitled to 1 nformation in his own way. t- John: I don't want to waste the publio time. The Chairman said the purpose of them all was to tiud out the truth. It might be more oon- venient for some people who examined witnesses a particular purpose m their mind, and only take so much of the truth from the ailswer as suited that purpose; but tho commission do- Sired to get the A,-iole of the facts.

CATHEDRAL REVENUES. ST. ASAPH AND BANGOR STATISTICS. At the sitting of the Welsh Church Commission to-dav week, Mr J. E. Gladstone, Cardiff, clerk to the Dean and Chapter of Llandaff Cathedral for the last 17 years, gave evidence showing that the gross income of the Dean and Chapter from endow- ments consisted of (1) an annual payment of B5500 made by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, (2) ground rents amounting to £ 140, and rents of houses and land amounting to E136 Is bd per annum, and (3) interest of stocks amount- ing to £ 18 Is 8d. By Order in Council dated June 26th, 1867, a scheme was ratified whereby all the lands, tithes, tenements, and heredita- ments then belonging in possession or reversion to the Dean and Chapter were transferred to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, who in return agreed to pay a lump sum of £ 5000 towards the repair and improvement of Llandaff Cathedral and an annual sum of E3500 to the Dean and Chapter. ST. ASAPH. Mr H. A. Cleaver, registrar of the diocese of St. Asaph since 1892, produced a return of Church endowments other than those for the maintenance of incumbents for the diocese of St. Asaph. The returns produced showed that there were 75 parishes with such endowments and 134 parishes with no endowments. The endowments were chiefly for the paying of parish clerks and repairs of the church. The totals of these en- dowments for the various rural deaneries were- St. Asaph £3698, Denbigh £1650. Holywell, E450, Llanrwst 1;4900, llhos £4028. Caedewen £ 268, Caereinion £ 101, Llanfyllin £ 53, Oswestry £ 20, Fool £3107, Bangorisycoed JB500. Edeyrnion 0, Llangollen L25, Mold E97, LV-nllyn 1;1821, Wrex- arn £ 700. The tithe rent charge, etc., belong- ing to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of St. Asaph was tithe commutation JB1369, value 1906-7 JE971. The Dean and Chap- ter also owned a building in St. Asaph known as "The Now Chapter" Library, erected and built •by the present Bishop of Bangor. This building^ was used for the Cathedral choir practices, "Clerieai meetings, examination of candidates for lioly orders, and diocesan meetings. The pro- .perty was conveyed by a trust deed in August, 1899. The Bishop's Palace was believed to be v e s rc-d in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and zso also was the Deanery. The canonical house of residence at St. Asaph was vested by Order in Council in June, 1859, in the Dean and Chap- ter. There were no other houses of residence. Replying to Mr J. H. Davies, the witness said that this return accounted for everything except what the Bishop received from the Ecclesiastical -Commissioners. BANGOR. Mr A. 1. Pryce, registrar of the diocese of Ban- gor since 1901, submitted a list of endowments belonging to each parish and applicable for pur-, poses other than the support of the incumbents. The totals were: -County of Anglesey, C192 Is 4d; archdeaconry of Bangor, JE180 Os 7d; arch- deaconry of Merioneth, £ 79 14s 6d. lie also gave particulars as to the Cathedral revenues. At- tached to the Cathedral was an office known as the sacrist, to whom was paid L105, interest on £ 4213 Consols, and JM5 ground rents of lands .leased for building- purposes. The deanery house, the residentiary canonry house, and the Bishop's palace were, it was believed, vested in the .Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Mr Marlay Samson put in correspondence .shov. ing that there was no property of this description in the diocese of St. David's other thhn that of which details were already in ths possession of the Commissioners. The chapter iClerk from St. David's will not therefore be called. SC\DAY SCHOOLS IN ST. ASAPH. W hiie in the box Mr H. A. Cleaver pointed out that the statistics from St. Asaph diocese re- lating to Sunday schools gave the average scholars in attendance, and not the total on the books. He had since called for a complete re- turn from all the incumbents, and put in the returns sent by them for 1907, showing the fol- lowing totals for the diocese:—Scholars on books under 15 19,490; over 15, 6439; members of Bible glasses, 3056; teachers, 2435; total, 31,420.

BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'3 PrC7.-STS. "LIMITS TO HUMAN ENDURANCE." EXHIBITION OF FEELING. The Bishop of St. David's, for the fourth day, .appeared again in the witness-box before the Welsh Church Commission on Friday, Lord Justice Vaughan Williams presiding. The Bishop was examined by Sir David Brynmor Jones, who asked whether a parish church was a provision made by the Church of England in .Wales for the spiritual welfare of the Welsh people. He put it that it might be said that it yvus. The P. shop: By whom? f Sir David: By the Welsh people. The Bishop: If you put that to mo my answer is in the negative. The Chairman: It is for us to.draw our con- clusions. It is not for a witness to express his opinion. Sit David said he did not contest the proposition made by the chairman, but he thought it was re- spectful to the Bishop to give him an opportunity of expressing his own. The Chairman: I don't think the opinion of anyone will assist us. Sir David: The opinion of the Lord Bishop will assist me to this extent, that I shall in the report say in dealing with this question that I did ask the Lord Bishop what his opinion was. If ho gives his opinion it ought to be stated in the report. If he does not, then no man here- .after can complain that the Lord Bishop did not have the opportunity of arguing the matter be- fore the Commission. The Chairman: I deny altogether that it is •within tho province of any witness to. argue be- fore us as to the construction of the terms of re- ference. BISHOP'S DIFFICULT POSITION. The Bishop said he was in a position of some difficulty. Having regard to the office he held, And to common decency, he was extremely anxious not to transgress the lines of propriety laid down by the chairman, but, on the other hand, he was very anxious not to give anyone the impression viat he wanted to shirk any question. Sir David: Do you assort that the tithe rent- char.^e paid by persons in the parish of Lampeter Jeffrey la a part of the provision made by the Church of England for the spiritual welfare of the Welsh people? Wit •ncss: This is one of the questions which I UFC'E first to consider whether I ought to answer it.. I will put the question once more in another form. Is tithe rent-charge paid by a Noncon- formist farmer in the parish a provision made by the Church of England for the spiritual wel- fare of the people? 1 have been examined by Sir John Williams for a day and a half, add I did not complain, and I am here to assist the Commission; but when the .chairman tells me that it will not assist the Commission my time is valuable, and I must ask to be excused. That is the chairman's expression of opinion. And to me it is law. Sir David: Whatever may be said in the report you cannot complain that you have not had a full opportunity of stating your views on this important question. The Bishop: I hope to have abundant oppor- tunity outside this room, and after to-day of stating my views. Sir David put further questions about ancient glebe and ancient parish churches. Not receiving an answer, the Chairman said that witness had no reason to suppose from the previous conduct of the Commission that any such questions would be raised, and was not prepared to answer. Sir David: It is quite competent for me to introduce paragraphs into the report commenting on your attitude in the witness-box. Witness: Quite so, and if I live I hope you will not things it disrespectful of me if I have some observations to .make on your paragraphs (laughter). Sir David pointed out that it was one thing to do that and quite another thing to decline to answer questions in the witness-box. Sir David asked whether the Church of England did not differ from other churches in the respects that it was national and established by law. The Bishop: 1 do not think it necessary to answer, and more than that, I do not think it desirable. I want to guard myself against handling political questions. The Chairman saw no reason why the question could not be answered. The Bishop referred to the chairman's ruling and the terms of letter of invitation to him to give evidence. To take up his time after three days in putting a series of such questions to him he contended was not fair. Sir David: I don't understand your complaint. The Bishop: I am not complaining, but to keep pressing on me a series of questions like this is, I think, not an economy of time. I stood a good deal yesterday, but there are limits to human endurance. His Lordship contended that in the attitude he had adopted he was on solid ground in views of the letter he had received asking him to give evidence. Sir David Brynmor Jones said he would not ask the witness any further questions. COURTEOUS AND FAIR, The Bishop said he wished to observe that there had not been any discourtesy. Sir David had been very courteous. The Chairman: Don't you think you might also Ll say fair. Don't you think he has been fuirly putting the questions to you he wanted you to answer ? The Bishop: Oh, certainly; it is not for me to criticise the fairness of the Commissioners. Replying to Mr J. II. Davies, the Witness said that the work of one generation was not seen in its results until the next generation, whether good or bad. The work done in St. David's now could not be seen by this Commission, but if another Royal Commission were sitting in ten years' time they would see it. Proceeding, the Bishop stated that in the last eleven years no one had brought to his attention any case of squabbling between local Noncon- formists and the clergy. He thought that was highly creditable to both. Referring to the rural areas, his Lordship said that in the future depth of religion there must be a subject calling for some watchfulness. He thought it was not quite what it was. He expressed the opinion that in his diocese nearly everybody went to some place of worship. The Rev. Ellis Lewis, of Rhyl, gave evidence relating to the Calvinistic Methodist Forward Movement. He said the erection of halls had been eminently successful, and not one of them had failed. The Chairman said he was interested to learn that the cost of carrying on the Movement was jMOO a week. SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK. At the conclusion of- Mr Lewis's evidence the Bishop of St. David's again took his seat at the table, and was questioned by Mr Davies about Sunday School work. He agreed that the num- ber of communicants in a given district should as a rule agree with the number of scholars and teachers. In the whole diocese of St. David's the communicants numbered 63,731, and the scholars and teachers 51,920. They were going to pay serious attention to organising the schools. The figures showed that Sunday School work up to now had not been so efficient as the parochial ministry. It was a lesson they had to learn from the Free Churches, and they meant to learn it. The Rev. J. P. Davies, minister of the Uni- tarian Church at Pontypridd and vice-president of the Rhondda Progressive League of Theology, subsequently gave evidence relating to the rite of Communion as observed in his denomination.

INQUEST AT WAENFAWR. A QUARRY LABOURER'S DEATH. An inquest was held at Waenfawr, on Satur- day, before Mr Pentir Williams, into the circum- stances attending the death of John Roger Jones (58), a quarry labourer, who met his death at the Alexandra Slate Quarry, by an unexpected fall of rock. Evidence was tendered to the effect that the deceased was employed in removing sand from amongst the rock, and that v^jiile so engaged on Wednesday afternoon some rock gave way, as the result of a heavy thunderstorm, a little be- fore the accident, and instantly killed the de- ceased. Mr G. J. Williams (Government Inspector of Mines) elicited from one of the witnesses that the work of removing sand in the quarry was much more dangerous employment than rock work. Mr Williams added, for the information of the jury, that there was sand in that quarry just as they found sand on the seashore, as well as shells in largo quantities, although the quarry was five miles from the sea, and 1400ft. above the sea level. The Coroner, referring to a remark by the Foreman of the jury, said slate getting and rub- bish clearing in all quarries was dangerous, and that was why Parliament had framed laws, rules, and regulations so as to protect the lives of quarrymen. An Act was passed in 1904 for this purpose, but. he was told by Mr Williams that there were some defects in that Act. He hoped tho Government would listen to experienced men like Mr Williams and soon amend those de- fects. Mr Williams: It is only fair for me to say that if quarries in Nantlle and other districts were to be reopened to-day they would be done in a very different manner to the old system, especially when the side was almost perpendicular. A verdict of "Accidental death" was re- turned.

THE TERRITORIAL FORCES I MEETING TO EXPLAIN THE SCHEME AT OLD COLWYN. A NONCONFORMIST PREACHER'S ADVICE. A meeting to explain the Territorial Army scheme and the terms of service was held in the Assembly Rooms, Old Colwyn, on Friday even- ing. There was a good attendance, over which Councillor D. O. Williams, chairman of the District Council, presided. He was supported by Captain Kingston, Revs. J. Griffiths and II. E. Mocatta, Dr. Mariette. Mr J. Aneurin Jones, and Captain T. H. Morgan, commanding G Company of the 5th Battalion R. W.F. The company had marched from Colwyn Bay, in command of Captain Morgan, and made their way to the Assembly Rooms, headed by the Old Colwyn Silver Prize Band. The Chairman, in his opening remarks, ex- pressed his gratification at the attendance, which was larger than he had anticipated. With re- ference to the Territorial Army scheme, it was his opinion that before it would be a success it was essential that. they should be enlightened upon its various aspects. There was no doubt but that there was a great deal of prejudice against the Armv and such schemes as that, but meetings such as that created enthusiasm, and cleared away prejudices. He apologised for taking the chair, because he was more or less a peaceful man, and had no doubt that any differences would some day be settled by arbitration. However, he must say he was a strong supporter of that scheme, be- cause as things were a strong Army proved as much as anything a guarantee of peace (ap- plause). In his opinion he thought the scheme was about the last resort before they were driven to conscription, and from that point of view he wished the scheme success. Moreover, they all knew it emanated from a Liberal Government, and surely he ought to support it if it were only for that reason (hear, hear, and laughter). Of course there was the higher view that the scheme should rouse British citizens to a greater interest in their country. Ho hoped the scheme would be as much a success in Wales as in any part of England (applause). Captain Kingston then read the terms of the service. He compared them with the old terms, and stoutly contended that the new ones were much more advantageous. He emphasised the fact that any man could absent himself from camp, on giving a reasonable excuse, and that in future the men would receive regular pay. He also pointed out that a man on leaving a dis- trict and going where there was no company could resign on giving three months' notice. If the scheme failed it would mean conscription all through the country, but he felt sure that it would be a success, and that the 5th Battalion would reach the strength required. Before being gazetted as a battalion they had to secure 30 per cent. of the desired number, and ho was pleased to say that he had been able, some days previously, to telegraph to the War Office that that had been reached (applause). Ho now ex- pected to see them gazetted as the 5th Battalion R.W.F. (applause). A NONCONFORMIST PREACHER'S ADVICE. Mr J. Aneurin Jones, a member of the Board of Guardians, who is a popular local preacher, spoke in Welsh, and made a most stirring appeal to tho young men of the neighbourhood to take their share in the work. If they must light, they might as well light well. Someone had said to him when they heard lie was coming to the meeting that lie should go home and prepare a sermon, but, he could not help feeling that every young man should see that his land was the lirst thing to think of, and if it was necessary lie should fight for it (hear, hear). He therefore urged his young countrymen to join the now force, his one reason for coming down being to get them to do so (loud applause). Rev. II. E. Mocatta said there was no doubt about it that as affairs in Europe were what they were to-day, Britishers would have to look to themselves. All European nations were armed to the teeth, and they threatened, menaced and dictated to Britain. During tho recent Boer war they had been almost compelled to defend their honour against the German Emperor. They must become members of the Territorial Force, or put up with what no one wanted—conscription (applause). Dr. Mariette said that in speaking to Welshmen there should be no difficulty m urging them to do their duty, and take up arms if needs be to de- fend their country. The Welsh had always been a fighting- race, that fact had earned them the title of "Gallant Little W aJes," a title which was well deserved. In any movement for the good of the country he was sure they would not be behind hand. What they all desired was peace, but peace was the outcome of strength, which wis the only solid foundation that peace could rest on. Referring to the visit of the French President, the speaker said it was clear that if England made herself strong France- would form an alliance with her, and these two nations standing side by side could guarantee peace for a very long time. They would have to prevent conscription, and to do so they must have universal voluntary train- ing. The Volunteer force was not sufficient to meet the needs of the country. The speaker then went on to dilate on the advantages of military life, dwelling particularly on the great ad- vantage derived physically therefrom. In conclusion, he said every man ought to feel proud to be in the Army, and ashamed if he were not. The Vicar, who next spoke, said they had heard the schemes of various war ministers propounded, but he cared not which was the best. What was of more importance was the principle of the thing. They were living in a country greatly blessed, which had been handed down to them as a great heritage, a country which had cost the blood, service, and lives of many of the people who lived in days gone by. As tho parents of the future generation, it was their duty to hand down that great heritage to their children. There had been a feeling, especially in Wales, that to become a Volunteer was something that was not quite right, not morally nor religious- ly correct. He was very glad to see that Mr Aneurin Jones (a lay preacher) had come there that night to speak to them a few words of real truth. He was equally delighted to find that his brethren, the ministers of the Nonconformity, as well as the clergy of the Church were becoming chaplains of the Volunteer Force (applause). In doing so they were merely doing their duty, Ull afraid of the frowns of certain people. He hoped the young men of Wales would come forward and enlist in this force which had for its cbject the defending of their country. They need not be always fighting, but if there was any fighting required Welshmen could do it as well as at:y people (hear. hear). It took some time to rouse them, but when once they started they ought to the hitter end. The very first instinct in a man's constitution was self-preservation, and there was certainly no harm in being prepared. The Vicar continued at some length, closing with a few encouraging remarks addressed to the members of the G Company. Captain Morgan also spoke a few words. On being present that night he said his object was to get young men to join his company. They required 120 men for the company, and these he had to c*taw fiom the population residing- between Penmaen and Rhos. They all wanted °cace, but still in case of an invasion they would want the men who could handle a .rifle, and to teach them that was the object of the new force. He asked them not to let it be said that Wales could not find the men, but rather that they should set the example to the other countries (applause). On behalf of the meeting Captain Morgan pro- posed a vote of thanks to the Chairman and the speakers, which was seconded by Colour- Sergeant J. Griffiths, and carried with acclama- tion. After the singing of the National Anthem the names of those wishing to join the local company were taken.

CYCLIST'S MARVELLOUS ESCAPE I'ltOM DEATH. During his holidays, Mr C. E. Curtis, of 648, Chatsworth-road, Chesterfield, went with the members of tho Brampton Lifeboat C.C. for a cycle run to Buxton. Nearing the town they were descending a steep hill at a furious pace when at a turn Mr Cuius was dashed inLQ a wail while his machine rebounded across the road, and was smashed up. Mr Curt:s's friends, fortunately, had with them some Zam-Buk which they smeared over his many cuts, bruised and bleeding wounds on head. shoulders. and face. Tims tho pain was eased and the wounds kept clean. "Next day," writes Mr Curtis, "I saw Lhat all danger of festering and blcod-poisaning had been averted, and the wounds wore beginning to heal.' The -and soreness went away, and a fortnight after the accident Zam-buk had mended mo up BO wonderfully that to the astonishment of my friends I was aWe to return to work." The lesson of Mr Curtis'a experience is tha.t no cyclist should start out without a box of Zam-buk in his possession. It is the ideal first- aid remedy.

RHYL MARINE-GARDENS. OPENING CEREMONY. On Saturday, the first portion of the new scheme for the improvement of the eeafrcnt of Rhyl was opened in the presence of a large assembly by Mr G. A. Tuverner, J.P., chair- man of the Council. The tirst step taken in tho matter was uii applk-ai ion to the- magis- -I trates for a music licence, and this formality was gone through at 10 a-tn. a.t the court, when the magistrates granted the nccessary permit. Tho members of the Council aujouinod to the gardens, among those present being: — Councillors G. A. Tavcrner. J. H. Ellis, 1. D. Jones, Edmund H i i g A- D. Hili, K D. EvaiiB, 1. Batho. H. A. Tilbv, F. WaJb, J. W. Jones, Llew. B- Evans, J. i'rimston. T. Whit- ley, with the Town Cie-rk (Mr A. Row Iannis), I n c and the other officials. Ex-Councillor A slier was also present Mr De Jong's band took their plates in tho bandstand, attor which Mr Taverner advanced to the railings, ana said that it afforded1 him much pleasure to declare those gardens open. It was a bright sunny day, ami lie h"ped that thoso beautiful grounds would have a ve. y bright future, and that nicy would not only prove an attraction to visitors, but would add materially to the attraction of the town. As they wClm aware, Mr J. H. was the origi- nator of the scheme, and he was present that day to witness tho first ^tcp in tho carrying through of what was certainly a great improve- ment. They had a very tin-a band, and1 at its head was his old friend. Mr De Jong, who, he was pleased to see, looking so well and readv lo provide enterta.irment for residents and visi- tors. Ho hoped that the gardens would be well supported—they certainly ctescrved to bo patro- nised. lIe thanked them for tlie honour they had oonforned on him in asking him to perform the opening ceremony, which he had great plea- sure in doing, ajid he alio invited Mr Elba to say a few worcils. Mr J. II. Eilis said he had spoken so often about tiio gardens that he tearcelv knew what to say fresh On the subject- But lie looked upon the opening of the grounds as the dawn- ing of a. now ora for Rhyi. lie was sure that both residents and visitors would appreciate to the fullest the tine gardens that ha<t been con- structed ini so short a time, and they were now looking forward to the end cf July, when the new pavilion would be ready, r.xcelient work was being aono in that place, ami1 lw had every confidence in saying that what the Council had dorba would materially add to the welfare and prosperity of the town. The band then played tho iNational Anth.-m, after which Mr Taverner called for three cheers for Mr De Jong, which were Iieartdy given. Mr De Jong, in acknowledging the compli- ment, assured thorn that he would do liis on- best to provide them m-li-ii first-class concerts (applause). An excellent programme of music was then gone through, and during the day the gardens were well patronised, aud the new tearooms wore very IKipular. Many of the visiters spent a considerable por- tion of the day on the promenade, which has beon made on the outside of tike gardens, facirg the sea. This portion seems to Le much appre- ciated. The illuminations of the ground in the evening call for special mention. In connection with the arrangements for the opening, Councillor A. D. Hill is deserving of the highest praise. Ho took in hand tho direc- tion of matters, a.nd' helped the offie als in everv possible way, seeing to the. minutest details. Everything passed off most satisfactorily.

ALLEGED BREACH OF THE QUARRIES' ACT. PROSECUTION AT BANGOR' \t the Bangor Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, be- fore Messrs W. Pughe (chairman), J. Evan Ro- berts, and Harry Clcogg, the North Waies, Quar- ries Company (Limited) and Mr W. J. Parry, tiie manager, wcro summoned, at the instance ot Mr G. J iiliams, liis Majesty's Inspector of Mines, for not causing1 the. men employed at Fanidieiiiiog Quarry to make use of the snelters. Mr Thornton Jones appeared for the prosecu- tion, and Mr 1:5. R. Dow was ior the defence. Tne case, it. was explained by the prosecution, arose out of the doatn in April of a man named John Morria, who was iataliy injured by a stone whust using, it was ai-eged, an insufficient shelter, viz., shed for dressing1 slates. Evidence was given Dy Ko-bert Wm. Roberts, Ty'idon, relin Hen, who stated that he and five others were sheltering in the hut, against the use of which they had not been warned. As a rule they used to go to tdje level when danger was anipateod. Whilst the deceased was si tung in the hut, he, was seen to fall, bleeding from a wound. The shelter Wa.3 to boOIne extent open in the direction of the place where the blast, came from. In cross-examination witness said that there wore four gallerieo in the quarry, and he was working in the lowest, where there was a shelter as ui the others, eoevl. the upper, where the levels were used. He knew that tiie blast had been fired by Morris, who would naturally know its position, but he thought there was no danger in being in the but. lie oould not say whether Morris was leaning forward to see to the blast. Both Mr W. J. Parry and Mr Tho- mas were very strict about the observance of the ruies whieh wore posted up in the quarries. By Mr Clegg: He had never been personally wanned against using the shed. Homy Parry, Iscoed. Betiiesda, who was aleo in the hut at the time the accident, said that he had used it a few before. He went there on the day in question because lie ti'-ougni it was a safa shelter, lie had been toid several times ;ha.t the levels were the proper places foi shelters, but no one had warned him and th.) others on that day, no.* had he been summoned or pumshed for disobeying th. rules. By Mr Dew: Mr Thomas had told the gang ma-ny times not to use t.be ihut, but that. the levels were the proper shelter. Mr G J. Williams, the in-poctor of mines, said that if tiie rules had been curictly observed he did not think the accident would have hap- pened. to Morris. He put in photographs taken by himself of the hut. Tho levels were tho safest places for sheltering, and had tho quarry not bien supplied with them he would liavul called for their provision. By Mr Dew: He frequently visited the quarry, and found that when lie mado complaints they were remedied. The me.n should be compiled not to use the hut, act thero was great, danger to liife and limb. Had one of the men been prosecuted for using the hut its continuous use wouid, he thought, have been prevented. Tho accident had brought the negligence of tho man- agement to light. Mr Dew: If this accident had not happened, you would .not liavo prosecuted? Witness: I don't think I should have known of it. Mr Dew: The manager can't follow every quarry man into his shelter. Mr Thorton Jones: That is his duty. For the defence, Mr S. R. Dew contended that the management had done everything that could be re-afxmabiy expeeied of them to cause the 1.0 use the shelters, and everything sugges- ted by the inspector had been properly carried out. Had it not been fur the accident the failure of the meai to observe the rules would not have bc-en known to the inspector, cr even to the man- agement. Having provided the shelters.surely the prosecution did not contend that the manager should pert-o.mi.Uy see that caoh man cntered one of them before the blast. On the prosecution's own showing the fact was established that the defendants had done all thai could be expected of them. Mr Thornton Jones remarked that that conten- tion meant that after putting up the notices the responsibility of the management ceased. Mr Harry Clegg stated that the magistrates had fully considered the case, and it being brought forward under a statute they thought that the whole facts should be clearly proved to their satisfaction, if there was any doubt, that doubt should be given to tho defen- dants, and 1),6 there existed a doubt the case would bo dismissed, but at the same time they regretted t.hat a life had been lost at tho q|;rry, and they trusted that the management wouid t¡;Q that tho rules waro very strictly carried out in future.
