Pownall Owen), who had been touched by the man's sad tale concerning a wife which Solomon alleged had b en left on her death bed at Abergele.

Losing no time he drove olf to inform the police. P.C. Henry Jones (72) took the matter in hand, and in 4 very short time he discovered tihe goods in the hawker's cart at Ojd Colwyn. In Church Walks ho apprehended Salomon, who at first denied all knowledge of the theft, but when ho was confronted by the hawker— who declared he could produce witnesses to prove that he placed the articles in the cart- Solomon admitted the offence. He was brought to Colwyn Bay, when he repeated his concerning an invalid wife to the magis rates- Messrs T. G- Osborn and Dr. Venable,s Wil- li,Lin,s-with the slight, th ugih significant varia- tion that she lay at B^umaris (not Abergele). P.S. Jones Rees provc-d a lor"- li.ôt of pre- vious convictions against him including a num- ber for larceny.

OUTBREAK OF FIRE.-At two o'clock on Wednesday morning, the Llandudno Fire Brigade was summoned to a fire which had broken out at No 27 Church Walks, the residence of Mr Edward Leach, electrical engineer. The first alarm was given by the Misses Marston of The Ives, who with neighbours endeavoured to check the conflagration pending the arrival of the bri- gade It appears that Mr Leach stored his jewellery and fancy articles, as well as the amber and meersham, which he had removed from his kiosk, on the pier, and also from his establish- ment in Mostyn-street, in a room over the kitchen. < These two rooms, although under the same roof, are connected with the house by a passage. The fire occurred in the kitchell. The only occupant in the house at the time was Mrs Leach, who was asleep and unconscious of what was taking place. She was awakened, and be- came so overcome with the smoke and the shock that she fainted and had to be carried out. Mr Leach was away in Birmingham. Damage was done to the staircase in the kitchen, and °t0 the woodwork of the windows. The stock, which was insured, is valued at ;CIOOO, but it is im- possible to say with any degree of accuracy what damage may have been caused to it by the water.
