It was said at a meeting of the licensed victuallers of this town, held last week, that Lord Aberdare was of opinion that the Sunday Closing (Wales) Act will not come into oper- ation until next year. In a letter to the Pall Mall Gazette" on the subject, his lordship writes My reading of the Act is this: that it operates wherever the licensing sessions were held after it became law* In the few cases where the licensing sessions were held before the paasing of the Act, it will not take effect until next year." However now that his lord- ship has given an opinion contrary to their interests, his interpretation of the Act will be of little weight with the Rhyl publicans notwitstanding their readiness, last week, to accept Lord Aberdare as an authority.

The revising barrister held his court at the toMn clerk's office on Monday last, and the Liberals claim, on the whole, a decided gain of votes as the result of the revision. The Liberal interests were watched by Mr P. jMostyn Williams, and Mr Miles R. Partington re- presented the Conservatives.

THE ALLEGED ROBBERY AT RHYL. At the police court, yesterday afternoon, before T. G. Dixon, Esq., and W. Price Jones, Esq., Tohia Roberts and Annie Davies were brought up on remand charged with having stolen a cash box containing £ 32,°the property of Robert Evans, Victoria Inn, Rhyl, on Tuesday last week--MeLaren said that at Bangor, Carnarvonshire, the male prisoner was con- convicted under the name of John Owens. The female prisoner was also apprehended at the same place in March last on a charge of robbery from the person, but was discharged. The only evidence that lie could produce was that which Mrs Evans gave at the previous trial of the prisoners (as reported in last week's Advcrtiter.) He had failed to find any portion of the missing property. The Bench then discharged the prisoners.

There were only three case of a very trivial nature before the magistrates at the Petty Sessions on Monday, but the different parties managed to scrape together a sufficent number of witnesses to keep their Worships on the bench for two hours and a half.

Last week, in referring to the departure of the Rev. Duncan Macgregor, we said that he had been instrumental in removing the debt on the English Baptist Chapel. We now learn that there was no liability on the building when he came to Rhyl, but soon after his arrival here a debt of 2350 was incurred in erecting the organ, and this the rev. gentleman has seen paid.

A DISTURBANCE IN THE MARKET.—THE HALL-KEEPER AND STALL KEEPERS. A disturbance occured in the market hall on Friday evening, the 30th ult., which resulted in three distinct cases being brought before their Worships Susannah Williams, butcher, charged Robert Owen Jones with assaulting her, and Robert Owen Jones charged Mrs Williams and Mary Davies, the first with obstructing him in the execution of his duty, and the other with assaulting him. Jones also charged Richard Williams, Susannah Williams' son, with assaulting him the following day. Mr Davies (Messrs Davies and Roberts) appeared on behalf of Mrs Williams and her son and Miss Davies, and Mr Arthur Rowlands (town clerk) represented Jones. Mr Rowlands (anticipating an objecction on the part of Mr Davies to his appearing for Jones) said that he had been instructed to do so by the Board of Commis- sioners. The Public Health Act empowered a Local Board to be represented by their Clerk in any action they may be concerned in. The present cases were taken under the Market and Fairs Act, which was incorporated in the Public Health Act, and as Jones had received written instructions to take action in the matter, Jones was the Commissioners' servant, and he (Mr Rowlands) contended that he had a right to appear for him. The Chairman asked if Mr Davies objected to Mr Rowlands appearing. Mr Davies said he did on principle. If action had been taken against the Commissioners as a body, he would certainly say that Mr Rowlands had a perfect right to appear for them, but in the piesent instance they were neither defendants or complainants, there- fore Mr Rowlands really could not appear, but a solicitor should be employed. The Bench agreed with Mr Davies that by law Mr Rowlands could not appear. Mr Rowlands asked the Bench to adjourn the case until twelve o'clock to enable him to engage a solicitor. The Chairman remarked that that would be incon- venient inasmuch as this was the only matter to be heard that day, and they had appointed another meeting 12 o'clock. However, to save the time of the court, Mr Davies. after making his objection, said he would not press it further. Mr Rowlands acted for Jones, and the case of Susannah Williams v. Robert Owen Jones was taken. Mr Davies, in opening the case, said that the cir- cumstances were very simple. Mrs Williams rented a stall in the market and had done so for many years. On the night in question her attention was called to Miss Parry's stall, Miss Parry and another woman were talking about somebody and Mrs Williams thought they referred to her, while she was asking for an explanation, defendant came up from behind took hold of her by the arms and pushed her to her own stall. From the rough usage Mrs Williams had been subjected to at defendant's hands, she had to consult Dr. Girdlestone who gave her a certificate (produced). Mrs Williams, on being called, said that on the 30th ult. her attention was attracted to a conversation between Miss Parry and another person. She thought that they were talking about her. She asked Miss Parry what are you saying about me ? I never did anything against you, but have always done my best for you." Miss Parry said that they were not talking about her but about another person. The defendant then came up to her and taking hold of her by the arms from behind pushed her to her stall. Jones took hold of her so roughly that her arms, above the elbow, were black and blue. She was unable to attend to her business on Saturday morning and consulted Dr. Girdlestone who gave her a certificate. By Mr Rowlands—She was not quarrelling with Misd Parry at all. The doctor examined her arm on Monday. The hall-keeper did not ask her to leave Miss Parry's stall before taking hold of her. Eliza Jones, fishmonger, deposed that she heard the conversation on the evening in question at Miss Parry's stall. Mrs Williams went up and asked what they were saying about her. Miss Parry said that they were not speaking of her at all, but about another person. Jones, the hall-keeper, came up and said every one to their own stall," and pushed Mrs Williams and her cousin, Miss Davies, to Mrs Williams' stall. By Mr Rowlands—They were not quarrelling. Miss Parry was throwing spites at somebody and Mrs Williams thought they were meant for her. By the Bench—They were not talking loudly. Ellen Bradley, greengrocer, said that she was not in the market at the commencement of the affair. The first thing she saw was Jones taking hold of Mrs Williams and pushing her to the stall. Miss Parry, poultry dealer, said that Mrs Williams went to her stall and "blackguarded her quite well," asking what she said about her. When it was ex- plained that nothing had been said about her she "came to herself after scolding quite well." Mr Jones asked her to go from her stall two or three times, but she refused. He then took hold of her and pushed her. She did not see Jones touch Miss Davies. Mrs Williams shouted all over the market. By Mr Rowlands- She I I black.-ii,,i,ded quite well" and witness was afraid of her. Somebody called Mr Jonep.' attention to her. Edward Jones, butcher, stated that he saw Jones pushing Mrs. Williams to her stall. She came out to show her arm, and te pushed uc-r back n second time. lie (witness) saw complainant's n-u about four or five minutes after, and it was black. When •Tuues took hold of Mrs Williams she shouted '• Don't hurt me man. By Mr. Rowlands They were uot talking loudly. l Mrs. Williams became very excited after Jones had taken hold of her, but not before. r Samuel Powell, servant to Mrs. Williams, heard some talking going on, but did not know what it was about. He saw Jones pushing Mrs. Williams to her stall. That was the case for the complainant, and Mr. Rowlands asked the Bench to reserve their decision until they heard the next case. Jones v. Susannah Williams and Mary Davies. Mr. Rowlands, having pointed out the section un- der which the action was taken, and which stated that any person found guilty of obstructing a market hall keeper in the execution of his duties were liable to a fine not exceeding 40s., said that it would be impossible for the hall-keeper to keep order if his hands were tied. He had often to eject unruly persons from the market. This disturbance took place after closing time, and really the parties were trespassers there. It was about quarter past nine. There was a great noise, and a crowd of boys had collected. Jones's attention had been attracted from the other end of the market. Seeing that a breach of the peaco was imminent, he stood between Mrs. Williams and Miss Parry. Mrs. Williams became very violent, and Miss Davies struck Jones on the face. He then called Robert Owen Jones, the complainant, who said that a little after nine on the 30th idtimo, he was putting the lights out at the Wellington-road end of the market. Mrs. Jones called his attention to a quarrel that was going on at Miss Parry's stall. He did not take any notice at first, but continued to put out the lights as he went on thinking that the quarrel would be stopped when the parties saw him. However, Mrs. Williams and Miss Davies continued to quarrel, and he ordered everybody to their own stalls, and all went except defendants. Miss Parry went into her own stall. He then took hold of Mrs. Williams, who resisted him, and called him a scamp and" awful things." He also took hold of Miss Davies, but seeing that she went quietly he let her go, when she immediately turned round and struck him in the face. This was about 20 minutes after the time of closing the market. He reported all the circumstances to the Commissioners, and they instructed him to take out summonses against the defendants. By Mr. Davies He told the Commissioners what he had their worships. It was 20 minutes past nine when he locked the market. He never kept the mar- ket open until 9.30 during the winter months; it should be closed at nine. He heard a noise going on be- tween the women, but he did not know what they were saying. They were talking very fast-" going like anything." When he went up there were about a dozen childien and men and women there. He did push Mrs Williams. He might be wrong in doing that. Defendants obstructed him by not going out, so as to enable him to close at the proper time. Miss Parry was the next witness called, and she repeated the evidence she gave in the previous case, adding that a Mr Mariner said that she and another woman who was with her in the stall were the two most drunken women in the town, and that she replied "never mind, we have not got red noses." It was this Mrs Williams overheard. Mrs Jones called the hall-keeper's attention to the row. By Mr Davies-She dii not ask Mrs Jones to call the hall-keeper. Mrs Thos. Jones, butcher, stated that she was at Miss Parry's stall on the Friday evening in question. Mr Mariner said that they were the two most drunken women in the town, to which Miss Parry answered that their noses were not red like the noses of some persons. Mrs. Williams then came up and caused a great row all over the market. {She (witness) called the hall-keeper's atten- tion to the quarrel, but he took no notice of her at first. When he came up he asked Mrs Williams to go to her stall repeatedly. When Mrs Williams came up she (witness) said that Miss Parry never named anybody who had red noses, and added let those that the cap fits wear it." By Mr Davies-She said that those whom the cap fitted should wear it, because Mrs Williams black- guarded Miss Parry. She was not on speaking terms with Mrs Williams, and she was not the only one in the market who did not speak to Mrs Williams. John Jones, butcher, swore to having seen Mary Davies striking the hall-keeper in the face. Mr Davies, in defence, called the attention of the Bench to the section of the market and fairs act under which the action had been taken. It said that all persons obstructing the hall-keeper, &c.. were liable to a penalty of 40s. It did not empower the hall- keeper to lay his hands on any person. Jones' duty was to summons the parties if they obstructed him and not take the law into his own hands. If men like him were allowed to assault people where would it all end. No police-officer had a right to lay his hands on any person unless a breach of the peace was about to be committed in his presence, but a hall-keeper had no right whatever. Miss Davies, by Jones' admission, did not strike him until he had took hold of her. As for the obstruction, there was none proved to have taken place in the present case. The market was about to be closed, and all business was finished. In conclusion he contended that the preponderance of evidence was in favour of his clients, and he thought the magistrates would have no hesitation in finding for them. The Bench dismissed the case of Mrs Williams against Jones, the Chairman remarking they thought that the latter had not overstepped the bounds of his duty. Dr. Girdlestone did not see Mrs Williams' arms until Monday, and he seemed to have written the certificate more from what he had heard than what he had actually seen. Edward Jones said that he had seen Mrs Williams' arm in about five minutes after the assault had been committed, and it was black then. From his (the Chairman's) experience of these matters, arms did not turn black after rough usage in a few minutes. If Mrs Williams had resisted the hall-keeper very violently, it was very likely that lie took hold of her rather tightly, and naturally the arms would turn black. It was very evident that Mary Davies had struck Jones, and she would be fined Is., with lis. costs, and Mrs Williams would be fined a like amount, with 14s. costs, for obstructing the hall-keeper. Robert Owen Jones v. Richard Williams. In this case Jones charged Williams with assaulting him in the market hall, on Saturday, October 1st, the morning after the above disturbance took place. Complainant deposed that on the 1st inst., he went to defendant's stall and said that he could not weigh some articles that day as the scales were being repaired. Defendant came out of the stall and raised his hand saying I will give you weigh, you d-. I will split you open." Defendant had something in his hand when he came out of the stall, but he (com- plainant) would not swear that it was a knife. His language was very bad-" awful." By Mr Davies—Defendant was not in the market on Friday night. He did say what did you inter- fere with my mother last night." He did not think that defendant said if I had been there I would have split you open," but he would not swear that those were not the words used. He begged of defen- dant to go to his stall several times. Esther Jane Roberts, a stall-holder, heard defen- dant saying" I will split you open, if I have six months' imprisonment for it." For the defence Mr Davies said that his instructions were that defendant had said to complainant on the Saturday morning that if he had been there on Friday night complainant would not have abused his mother, and that was a very probable version of the affair. Williams said that he would have split the hall-keeper, if he had been there when his mother was assaulted. He did not say that he would do it on Saturday morning. The Bench, however, considered the case proved and fined defendant 5s., with I Os. fid. costs.

Last week the average price was 46s. 9d. per quarter, whilst the average price of barley was 34s. 10d., and the average price of oats 20s. 2d.

During the corresponding week of 1878 it fell as low as 39s. 9d. per quarter and so, with our ports open to all the world, it fluctuates from year to year.
