ABUKGELE PETTY SESSIONS. PROSECUTIONS UNDER THE NEW DOGS' REGULATIONS. These sessions were held on Saturday, before Messrs Duncan Miller (m the chair), Dr Peter Roberts, Dr Wostenholme, and Mr J. Hannah. DOU.S AT FJiEEDOM AFTER SUBSET. John John, a farmer, Nant Fawr, Abergele, was summon(vl under tlie new county bye-laws lor per- mitting his dog to be abroad, an dnot uncfej control a.fter sunset. Defendant did! not, appeal when hid name was called out, but afterwards attended, and explained that he had been present at eleven o'clock, but thinking that the case would not come on for some time had gone into the town. In the meantime the Bench had fined him 2s 6d and costs, and the Clerk (Mr E. A. Crabbe) advised I the Bench that they could not re-open the case. Inspector Tippet said that although there had been other proceedings under these new regulations, they were very indifferently observed. The defendant said he had no knowledge of the regulations, and it was very hard, almost impossible, to keep a dog always on the chain. The. Chairman agreed, and thought that he might one day be proceeded against for a similar offence. They all knew the difficulty, and sympathised with the defendant, but still the magistrates had to ad- minister the law, and there had been a breach of it. Abraham Foulkes, the Kininei Estate Agent, Wa.8 siimmoned for similar offences on May 19th and 20th. r.O. Manuel Davies proved the offences, and in reply to the Bench, said he tried to catch the dog but could not. The dog was not fond of uniforms (laughter). Mr Foulkes did not dispute the officer's assertion, but thought it was hard to keep a dog on the chainj especially when the marsh near his place was infeated with ratg. P.O. Davios said he had warned Miss Foulkes about the dog. Mr Foulkes, who was fined JB1 inclusive for the two offences, remarked that he did not mind as long as they were all treated alike. A WARNING TO BOYS. Four youths named Henry Williams, William Ohaa. Dodd, Oswald Ed. Jones, and John Owen were sum- moned at the instance of the Governors of the Aber- gele County School for committing damage in one of the fields attached to that institution on April 18th. Mr Ampliletl, who prosecuted, said that the damage done by various boys in the locality had become so serious that the Governors felt bound to take action. In the present case, however, the parents of the de- fendants had been in communication with the Go- vernors, "nd in view of the apolojetic attitude adopted by the bjys and their parents, and in the hope that these proceedings might serve as a warning, the Go- vernors had instructed him to ask the Bench to permit them to withdraw the summons. H, however, wished the Bench to kindly to make it known that any future offenders would be severely dealt with. The Chairman told the boys they were Uable to a fine of iC.5, or could be sent to gaol for two months. He warned them and others of the serious consequences that would ensue if this kind of thing were persisted in. A CRUELTY CASE. Edward Jones, of the Numbers, Abergele, was sum- moned at the instance of Inspector Sidney Gibbs, R.S.P.C.A., for working a horse in an unfit state on May Htll. On that date Inspector Gibbs said he saw defendant driving a horse attached to a cab, going along Dundoiiald Avenue. He was in company with P.O. Ernest Owen, of Rhyl, at the time. The defendant stopped, and an examining the horse found it in a very emaciated condition, lame on one of the forelegs, from Bide bones. Indeed it was shameful to work it. He advised the defendant to take it home, which he did. He, however, worked the horsa afterwards, and declined to give a promise that he would not work it again. Hence the proceedings. On a subsequent date he visited the defendant's stable, and again examined t-he horse in company with Mr Howatson, the veterinary surgeon. The latter con- firmed his opinion, and said the animal ought to be destroyed. Tho defendant in a long rambling statement ad- mitted that many inspectors had previously spoken to him about the animal. It had since been des- troved, but despite this he had been subsequently been served with the summons. He elicited in cross- examination the fact that the inspector and veterinary surgeon had obtained a key and opened the door of his stable in his absence. Defendant was fined 5s and costs.

OLD COLWYN VISITOR'S STRANGE EXPERIENCE. SOMNAMBUL!SM EXTRAORDINARY. GIRL FOUND ASLEEP NEAR THE RAILWAY. Miss Amy Parker, sixteen years of ago, a visitor from Oakengates, Salop, at present staying at Craw- ford House, Cadwgan Road, Old Colwyn, underwent a singular experience on Friday. It appears that at about :5 in the morning some platelayers en- gaged on the London and North-Wen tern Railway were proceeding to their work when they saw a girl, to all appearances asleep, lying on t.he embank- ment, a few feet from the railway line and about I half-a-mile from the Llanddulas station in the direc- tion of Oolwyn Bay. On reaching her they saw t.o their astonishment, that she was clad-only in her nightdress, and that she was sleeping peacefully, having tucked her soli- tary garment aTtmnd her feet. At the point at which she must have crossed the femee in order to get to the embankment a platelayer had left his coat hanging on one of the posts, and the girl had ap- parently picked it up on her somnambulistic walk, wrapped it up, and made a pillow of it, upon which ta lay her head. One of the platelayers remained with the girl, whilst the other ran to fetch P.C. Rowlands, Llanddulas, who hurried to the spot, closely fallowodPby Mr Lane, the stationmaster. She was then picked up and carried in a semi- cQEWLose state to the police station. In her posses- sion were found a Bible and a letter, which gave the clue to her identity, and also as to her Old Oolwvn address. Miss Parker is a handsome, well-developed girl, and although so young standf3 nearly six feet in height. She had suffered somewhat from exposure, but had soon recovered when claimed by her friends. It is stated that she has been rather inclined to somnambulism. During a conversation she stated that she remembered- nothing from the time she got into bed at Old Oolwyn, and woke up at the 'Llanddulas Police Station, two miles away. Everything seems to point to her having walked along the main road ana then made her way through jome fields. It possible that the mere act of getting over the fence where the ooat was himging may have Suggested the idea of .getting into bed. Happily few trains passed through at the time Miss Porter was on her tourney, otherwise she might hav* been run over.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A YOUNG ANGLE SE Y FARMER BOARDING A MOVING TRAIN. At the Y.M.C.A., Bangor, on Tuesday evening, Mr J. Pentir Williams, the North Carnarvonshire coroner, held an inquest on the body of Hugh Llewelyn Lewis (24), son of Mr Lewis, Cwirtai Farm, Tycroes, who, whilst attempting to board a moving train at Menai Bridge Railway Station on Whit-Monday, fell, between the platform ilad the train, receiving such severe injuries that he died a few hours after his admission to the Car- narvonshire and Anglesey Infirmary. The first witness was John Prytherch, farmer, Aberffraw, who identified the body. Deceased was a farmer, said witness. William Arthur Prytherch, Bodfeddan, Tycroos, stated that he travelled with the deceased from Bodorgan in a special horse-box train from Amlwch to Carnarvon, with a horse which he was showing at the Carnarvon Horse Show. At Menai Bridge both alighted whilst the train waa being shunted, and proceeded under the subway to the Carnarvon up-platform. The Coroner: What happened then? Witness: The train came along, and the de- ceased tried to board it as it was moving Did the train stop?—No. Did you try to board the train?—No. I found that it was going too fast, and I stopped. He, however, went with it, and tried to get hold of the horse-box, but slipped between the plat- form and the train. The driver and guard did not know that he had faJJen ?I don't think they did. Can you say at what speed the train waa tra- velling?—Not very fast. If it had been a passenger train he might have got in. It's more difficult to enter these trains. What went over him?—Nothing went over him. What part was mutilated?—The left leg and arm. The leg was crushed between the step of the carriage and the platform. Four horse-boxes passed him. Proceeding, Witness stated that when he next saw the deceased, he was down between the plat- form and the rail, and witness did not think that a wheel touched him. When witness raised him up he was semi-conscious and his clothes were torn. An ambulance man was soon on the spot, and he stopped the bleeding. John Davies, 91, Carnarvon-road, Bangor, the guard of the tratQj said that it was a special from Amlwch. After it had shunted, the train passed through Menai Bridge Station at about ten to twelve miles an hour. He did not notice any young men alighting from the train. Before the train left the Menai Bridge platform (prior to the shunting) the whistle was blown so that anyone who left the train could get baok. A MAD ACT. The Coroner It would be very difficult to board a train travelling so fast? Witness: Yes, it was a mad act. Are such trains more difficult to board than ordinary trains?—No, the steps are the same in both, same height and everything. Witness added that he first heard of the accident at Carnarvon. Meth. Owen, 2, Penchwintan-road, Bangor, the driver of the train, described it as travelling through Menai Bridge Station after being shunted at about nine to ten miles an hour. John Parry, stationmaster at Menai Bridge, estimated the speed of the train at eight to twelve miles an hour. The deceased was quickly moved to the infirmary at Bangor, Dr. Jones, Menai Bridge, accompanying him. By a Juror: There was no arrangement to lock the doors of horse-boxes during shunting opera- tions. William Whitby, brakesman, 35, Talbot-street, Chester, stated that he saw the deceased a.nd his companion on the up-platfc^L as though they intended boarding the train. Afterwards he observed the young man who had given evidence picking deceased from the permanent way. Wit- ness could not say whether the wheels had gone over deceased. He performed the necessary am- bulance work, and the deceased was removed to the infirmary. Dr. II. Melville Harrison, house surgeon at the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Infirmary, gave evidence that the most severe injuries sustained by the deceased were a compound fracture of the thigh and a compound fracture of the arm, both being high up. The shock bad been very great, but the work of Whitby prevented much bleed- ing, his treatment being very successful. De- ceased died from shock following the injuries. Witness believed that the wheels must have passed over the right hand of deceased, and the serious injuries wore no doubt caused by his having been crushed between the carriages and the side of the platform. The shock was so great that it was impossible to feel the pulse of the deceased in the usual place. It would have eventually been a case for operation had deceased lived. Reviewing the evidence the Coroner said that it was a pity the deceased ventured to do what he did, and he rather agreed with the guard that, considering the rate at which the train was tra- veling, it was rather a mad act, but of course young men attempted what older men would not dream of venturing. He specially wished to compliment the witness Whitby for his ambulance work, and he was glad that more attention was being paid by workmen to this humane work, for it had undoubtedly saved many lives, and it was clear that everything possible was done in this caae. Many lives had been lost because of tho ignorance of those on the spot, and ho was glad to find that Mr Whitby had turned his knowledge to such good account.. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death," and the foreman (Mr H. King) moved a vote of sympathy with the relatives, who were present at the inquest. He also wished to emphasise the compliment paid by the coroner to the witness Whitby, and added that the Lon- don and North-Western Company deserved every praise for their work in this direction. The Rev. Wynn Davies acknowledged the vote of sympathy on behalf of the relatives. He said that by the death of the deceased the neighbourhood and the church had lost an ex- cellent young man, and the jury could imagine bow deeply grieved the relatives were.
