The arts and crafts exhibition in association with the Colwyn Bay National EisDeadiod was formally opened by the Couutess of Duiidonakl Friday afternoon. There was a numerous, influential compa<ny in fjt tendance inclutling the Hon. Robin Cochrane, who accompanied Iii", mother (tiw Countess of Duajdonald), Sir nt Williams, Mr Goscombe John, Mr Harold Pwithbono, Mr T. ll. Thomas ("Arlullydd t>eiiygam'!), liio adj-udieator ki the conipeucivie. of the exhibition; Mr Colt Edwards, Mr Dav; (ciiasrma.n of the Arta and. Crafts Coiiiiniiteo), Mr James Aniphlctt (chairman of Eistedefcfod Executive Committee), Mr Wm. Jones (hen. treasurer oi the Eisteddfod!), Ca-iion Roberts (vicar of Colwyn Bay), Mr K Griffiths, Mr C.

Roberts, Mr George Bcvan., J.P. (chairman of tb.o Eisteddfod Finance Couuiiittee), and nume- rous other rrembers of the Eisteddfod oaartmit- tees as well as a very representative attendance of tho general public. MR C. E. ELCOCK road a. message irom La.dy Mostyn, of Taiacre, and Lord and Lady Mostyn for their unavoidable absenoe. MR DAVID LEWIS as chairman, of the Arts and Crafts Committee presided and at the out- 861 expressed regret that they had been unable to have the catalogues of the exhibition pre- pared in time for that ceremony, but they would ready in a day or two. Proceeding, 'he said ~1e art section was comparatively a new feature J11 connootion with the National Eisteddfod. Ho t^nd no aHiision in an. old programme of an ^isteddfod to any section devoted to art subjects, represen/fcaiivo from the South Kaoisi'ngtoii who was a.t Colwyn Bay last week, said had attended sevtaral Eisteddfodau and had notioOO: a. distinct advance in art produotaoms. At Exhibition wa« a splendid competi- 0n in architectural subjects, some excellent fctaisted-giass windows, a wonderful dteplay solioolwork (hoar, hear). It would possibly be ^vidious to mention the names of the many who bad lent very valuable artickas of all kinds for the Exhibition, but lie must refer to Lord Mostyn, -Lady Mostyn, of Taiacre, Mis Griffith Bos- ^w-an, Mm Wynne Fioxsh, and Sir March-ant ^liliaims amongst the private individuals and ^9 South Kensington Museuai Authorities. With reference to tho exhibits shown from South. it might be asked what relation khsy had to Wak«. He replied that there wag bo special relation to Wales exaept tha.t they aspaimcffis of work of the best and finest from different countries and the object was they might be. held before ir students ad a higher standard of exoeJlence r thean to copy (cheers). The Committee felt a.t would be a. pity that the efforts made during t-e past winter in preparing exiiikwts lor tihai sec- taori of the Eisteddifod should terminate with Exhibition, and they hoped that it would be 'he means of fostering a love for art in the and that evening schools would oommeaiced, at which lessons would be given J1 all branches of art. fheaj, hea r). In conclusion Chairman introduced- Sir Maroliant Williams, ^■ernitgi to him as an export in art. A "CRIME EXPERT" ON A"RT CULTURE. SIR T. MARCHANT WILLIAMS, who was Cordially received, said he must at once dis- ->use tlie minds of the audience should there be supposition lurking in; their minds that he appeared before them as an expert in art—or else except perhaps crime (laughter). .About 10,000 casae a year came before him in hJs. court.,> and perhaps in crime he was somewhat 111 an expert (laughter). What acoou-nted for his P^oemae was the fact 'that he was a friend of the ^stoddlfod, and, curiously enough, the oldest of regular oamp-followers. The first National ■SisteddiT'od he ever a.Mem.ded was forty-nine years o, and he had followed! ute meetings ever since Jntiii two or thjee exocptions, so tbali he could "c truly described as one of the ancients of the ^institution, and hf* was a bliOrongQi believed in It fhear, hear J. He took a. great interest i:i art ø.n all beautiful tlrings-in his ooliectian of snuff-boxes, and pictiures,—and though he inaaiy times burnt his fingers, yet by oswocia- himself with great experts he had acquired) Vnat was within the reeuuh of most people, viz., wie power to detect good woH< when he saw it. thoy all could do that. lie was a great be- J^ever in -the Owlto geaius for art. As Celts they wad not produoed mucli, but no one durst say they had' produced notliing, because Richard iboa was one of the inmiortaU, and he was poping that Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn wK>uld wfoie the close of the exhibition lend •^cni sofoe specimens of ono of the g'reatest •jtists the has over seon or known. Tie ore held that the Colt was an artist, full powor, of delxaoy, of thought, of speech, and Qf touch. Hence it was that hü was interested ;!& the art side of the Eisteddfod, whitili first an art. exhibition as an odSjuaot on the oooa- StOB. of the Wrexham gathoring twenty-two years He desirod the Exhibition to bl) an edu- 9ataon to the neigJibourhood, He wanted the to have its school of art and to Bee C the walls of its day schools decorat'Cd with er pictures than olieograjihs—(bear, hear)— *^r it was by looking at pictures that one got to «iow them just as one knew members of a is-milv. Children developed tlie taste for real when brought in contact with it. He aJso to make the members of his audience °ollectors of objoats of art. There even now Seinained uncollected wonderful things relating to the history of the oountry. Let thean be oollocted and' sent to the Welsh National Museum at Cardiff (a laugh). They might at Cardiff, but before very long there ■Would not be a Welshman who would not be ^shajned to say that he had hôn there. Wheal th National Museum establisilied loans be imade by it to local museums all over country. Things which had already been up here and there were really pi-joeless, more were to be got even, to-day. In that (Trowing neighbourhood they ought to have an aTt school to teach tilbat Chore was after all something more important even than making ?E*X-iey. Let those who had the artistio gift oa-vo a chaai'co of developing it. He believed that the art exihibition proved a great adva^aso not only to the Eiste<kliod but to the neighbour- hood where it was Jicld, and he exijressed the nope tLat that at Colwyn Lay would be great Buooess (alieers). EXHIBITION OPENED The COUNTESS OF DUNDONALD, in de- Qiaring the cxhibitioci opvn, remarked that in bi3 intorestimg fqxxxh Sir Mardbant Williams had raised xuany points which, she felt sure, wouict be takM) up at Colwyn Bay (hear, hear). She believed it was universally admitted, even by the Sassenach—(laughicr),— that the Colt Was fundamentally artistic. There was no doubt. "Whatever about his music, for wherever one ■W«r>.t in Wales, whether among workmein sbt their work or oufcsi<le it, one always found melody. It was also well known fhat wherever tiicre was. tho gif, of muffle there was also thoo gTft of art gener- ally (hoar, hoar). But as Sir Marchant had! «b»o,-vod, the letter gift was not so much o&- volopod in Wales a.t present, and it would ha. most excellent thing if that genius which was *ato:it in the Ceitic people was brought out and ciji:vat»d• by means of art schools. She t-bere- foro hoped' thuit; the movement in that direction Would go on and prosper (cheers). ^MR JA-MES A A1P11LKTT, in proposing tnaiilsB to the Coumtc*» of Dundonald for kindly s^istanoe, said that whatever wnjxjrtant move- t. W0.3 initiated in Oolwyn Bay her ladyship invariably took an active personal" interest in it, ^Hi he felt they had started the National Eisteddfod prcowxlings in tho best posaiblo manner by tho CJuu«tess to open that exhibition (hear, hoau-). "THE FIRST WELSH NATIONALIST." lie iTiohidtedi also in the resolution the nanJoO of Sir Marohant Williams, whom all South Walians n&gurdjed as one of the biggest jwwer.s in Cardiff &11.(1 out of it.. It was truo he {.massed mM of his tonic in considering crime, but he was ako asso- OUitod in a prominent manner wttii art and edu- aad was parhaps the first of Welsh Nationalists (hear, "heM). It was to bo hoped that the National Eisteddfod Association of winch he was president would claim his services for many years. They hod boon 3ignady lucky that Sir Mardliflj:it had b'X'n holidaying in North Waies, thus being .blo to rotideT them tlio help be had t;h,'it afternoon. In the some motion the Da.me of Mr David Lewis must also be- included for as chairman, of tbe Arts and Crafts Com- «ni(.t«> ho had worked industrouslv ARLLNYDD PiiNYGARN, who seconded, ho had ovory reason to look upon tho exhi- bition «s a mark m tho progress in art of the National Hietoddfod. Sinoo the verv great art mil.t'btoon cold in connection with the second od at Gardiff they had not had one of V* etpai aiao, but they had all shown that there was on increasing imprcwaincttt. The scholastic « £ that exhifeitkm showed a mariced advunoo. It showed that the young psopie of Wales were taking up art mudh more t.han they had: dooe. The motion, wae oarriod1 with acclamation. MR ELDOOK'S DEVOTION. In respondiag the CHAIRMAN said the name of Mr C. E. Eloock should have baen included in the resolution because Mr Eloook had worked night and day for the exhibition (hear, hear). For instance, be had written hundreds of letters over it; in fact he had' devoted himself for weeks almost entirely to the work. He hoped ho would be allowed to ooavey to Mr Eloock the tnaiik-s of the meetisag for 'his great and valuable ser- vices (hear hear). 'MARSIANT'S" TRIBUTE TO A BANGOR ARTIST. This terminated the ceremony, the oompony then making' a tour of the exhobutiooL Refesrenoe was made to the exhibits at some length in these columns last week; but, for the simple reason that they were not exhibited when our representative paiid his visit, no mention was mads 01 a llwnOO1' -of exquisite miniature por- traits shown by Mr Ernest Lloyd. While con- versing with our reporter after the opening ceremony Sir Marc'n.ant "Williams directed his particular attention to the beautiful little por- traits, remarking: "They are amongst the most notablo things here. Mr Ernest Lloyd is, in my opinion—indeed he is so regarded by all the great critics—next to Mr AhùIl Williams, the best livng miniaturist. And forget he is a Bangor roan—son of the late Mr John Lloyd, of the Old Bank, Bangor. ILo is an exceedingly clover artist. Yet people say we Welshmen produce mo art You just, look ail those perfect specimens of his. They speak for themseilves."

A MOLD SENSATION. MARRIED MAN CHARGED WITH ABDUCTIOIM. Considerabks public interest was taken in a case at tho Mold Police Court, on Monday, in whiJh Edward Henrv Evans, a. married roan, who. until lately lived at Moid, and waa ar- rested at Glasgow last week, was charged with having tak-eti away a young girl, aged 18, named Gladys Roberts, of Bromfieid-row, Mold, for an uniawful purpose. Mr J. B. Mansion prosecuted, and in opening the prcooedinga explained tha.t prne-r was a steel worker and a iiiarrted man living at Haw- thorne Cottage. Moid. The prisoner had known the girl for some time-, and had talked the matter over with her and had talked to }¡m of newspaper reports in which young girls had run away with married men. Gladyu Roberts said she was bora in January, 1892. She had known prisoner two and a. half years, and had lived closed to him in her mother'* house. She worked in the same tin-plate works, and prisoner on several oocaeions osked her to go away with him, uaying lie wouid give her everything she needed, and that she would not waJlt for anything. When they talked about going away he told her that be would b9 brought up for it. He did not say what sort of a place &he should have, but that it would bo a good place.. Eventually they left Mold together on Saturday, the 27th November, and proceeded to Liverpool, whence> thoy went on to Glasgow by boat, and lived there in a street off Axgyje-etreet as man and wife, she being called1 Mrs Wiliianfc. Whilst there she worked at a remnant factory. They lived together until J a.n uary, wh-en tilie came back to Li v'i)rpuol, the jjtrisoner paying her fare. She told him of hcr condition, and that he was tho father of her child. She afterwards went for a short time into service at Southport. Eventually she re- turned home, having got her mother's consent, and was confined there. During thi-s time the received a letter from the prisoner, who eaid :— I think I'll put an end to it. all. Only for vou I would. I was in hope it was all ovsr by now, as I have not heard from you for so long. I do not kitow what is best for you to do. It jj, no good you 0Omin,g- llre now. it would kill you. If I was you, I wtsakl try and 6llicldl it aa much as I cou'd." He also appealed to her not to say that he was responsible to her for her con- dition, &3emg that it wouid ruin heir character, he being a married man. They could not foi-oe to toll the truth, and seeing that he had been a good friend to her he hoped she would be the same to him. If he tent to prison he would write to her after coming out. The girl was crotv5-e.xairrin>e»d by Mr Kerfoot Roberts, Holywell, for the defence. She said there was no reason why she ishould have gone away with the. pri'-oiier other t.iari the fact that he pi-essed her to do so. He kept following bar continually, and she could not get any quietness from him. She denied st.ranuotoly tha.t it was she who had persuaded prisoner to take her away. He threatened to chloroform her if the did not give in to bim. She never threatened to commit suicide if he did not take her away. Six; had not endeavoured to get the prisoner away from his wife. She rexnom- bared about a fortnight before she went away, the wife of the prisoner coming upon them sud- d-only. At that time, the prkoner said he had received a letter from a Russian General, invit- ing him to .go to Russia, and to take his partner with him. He tokl her then that the partner would be heirself. Have you ever threatened to commit suicide? —I think I told him otce when I knew what m f condition -was. Did TOfU write to him and' say, "I will oome anywhere you Wi.,J1 ?"Ye.s, sir; I did. He to'd me that he wonVI never go fcoek to his wife; that she wasn't his wife." She added tha.t she bad a happy home, and had always hœn a paxd girl before she met the prisoner. Harriet Roberts, the mother of the girl, g-avo evidence to the effect that she had known pri- soner for three year,, during which time he came to their liouse nearly every night. In August, 1909. the prisoner and hi., wife took her d.Mighter for a holiday to South Wales. About two months ago he wanted to take her for another holiday, but she refused. She. spoke to prisoner abdut his conduct to her daughter, and Lhe said he worshipped her booause he never had kijtor of his own. Shortly before they nan away she refused prisoner admittance to house. They had talked about married nIl ruming off with young girls, and she had said if anyone went off with her daughtor she wouild n.ake him sit Up. She had 00 jend money for her daughter to oome home. Mr K. Roberts submitted that "he girl's evi- dence pre vet' that. she had always endeavoured to lead prisoner astray and alienate his alTecuons from his wife. Prisoner wa:, committed to the Aasi.os, bai; being allowed in the sum of £20.
A BLESSING IN THE HOME

A BLESSING IN THE HOME ZAM-BUK'S WONDERFUL USES. A short time ago a stranger called in at the Zam-Buk Laboratories and asked how it came about that so many of his neighbours, all healthy people, regularly used Zam-Buk. These people were not, to his knowledge, afflicted with any distressful /complaints, like eczema, piles, and ulcers, for which Zam-Euk had, he knew, an excellent reputation. Our quiet reply was that perhaps all these intelligent folk had sr-cn sooner than he had how they could both save money and escape worry by promptly employing Zam-Buk for the hundred and one little mishaps of the home. Baby falls and bruises his forehead; just a touch of Zam-Buk and no more pains and more tears; only a new piece of skin grown and an entire absence of swelling and discolouration. The same soothing aid if the little one's skin is chafed, raw or irritable with bathing, or owing to the weather. The maid cuts her finger instead of the bread; nothing stops the bleeding and heals the wound so quickly as Zam-Buk. wife or daughter of the house sprains her ankle on the stairs, or hurns her hand at the cooking-rang •; it is the handy box of Zam-Buk that is at once reached down from the mantel- piece. The children at school risk catching ring- worm and eczema from their less cleanly school- fellows, and Zam-Buk quickly cures. Zam-Buk has a unique herbal origin and a scientific composition that make it the finest soothing and antiseptic healer within the reach of the public to-day. It has earned world-wido renown; and its great range of usefulness en- titles it to an impoortant place in every home How far is the handiness, cleanliness, and ever- readiness, and the purity and concentrated heal- ing power in Zam-Buk prcferablo to the old. cheap rancid ointments composed mainly of I coarse animal fat? The disoovery of Zam-Buk, while it has brought new achicvcmonts oyer oczema, piles, ulcers, '1 nd all like dark perils, has also ensured happy issue out of the simple every-day accident id its manifold complications.

LLANDUDNO PETTY SESSIONS. POLICE OFFICER ROUGHLY HANDLED. NEWSPAPER BOYS SUMMONED: ANOTHER DISMISSAL. A WARNING TO TOWN PORTERS. These sessions were held on Monday, Mr Kneeshaw (chairman) presided, and there were also .present: Mr Jelf Petit, Dr. Dalton, Dr. R. Arthur Pochard, Mr T. W. Griffith, Mr E. E. Bone, Mr Robert Roberts., Mr J. Dowedl, with the Clerk (Mr Jajnes Porter). WOMAN ATTACKS A CONSTABLE. Wiltaam Hughes, Sarah Hughes, and John. Hudson, o'f Alexandra-road, Llandudno, were summoned for assaulting P.C. Ste^kfoan Eva.ns (39) on July ISth. Mx J. J. Marks (for tho proaocution) stated that at 11.10 pm. on the date in question, P.C. H'u-glh Williams (26) saw the defendant William Hughes .In Alexandra-road apparently going home. He was obviousy drunk, but as he was going along quietly the officer allowed him to prooaed. About five minutes later P.C. Stephen. Evaais, while going4 to his home in Alexandra- road, came upon Hughes as he was crossing the field leading tram St. Mary's-rood to Trinity- street in the direction of Alexandra-road. The defendant was then s-nging and shouting, and the ofhoer, who was in his private clothes, stopped lum and raquested him to go home quietly. Hughes replied, "1 know who you are. What is it to you wha/t I do ?'' He ciien began er.rshg, and the officer again remonstra- bed with him, whereupon Hughes said, "Go and g-et your uniform first," and challenged the con- stable to go into the field1 to fight him. He shoued out in a most disgusting manner, a.nd the otfreerr tokl him that unless he went home in a proper way he would have to Jock him up. Tho man took no notioe of that, ajid persisted with his nousy demojistnataari. The officer then. ajiproaohed iwm with the view of locking him up, but 11 ug-hes apologised, sayng he meant no offence. The officer rephsd1 that he would have to report the matter. Eventually, in Alexarada-a- road, Hughes and the two other deiendan<ts met the officer. The woman asked the constable why he had followed her husband. He replied, oajuso he was drunk." She called the ofhoer a tiar acid struck 'him a blow on the noao which caused it to bleed. The two men, Hughes and Hudson, then rushed at him and held lrHrn. The Woman then took the oflioe'r's stick from his hand, and, urg-ed by Iludscti, she struck the constable with it twice after previously scratch- ing his face and causing blood to flow. While trying to protect himself in the struggle, the officer struck the woman unwittingly. The officer then struggled successfully for freedom and tried to take tho woman into custody, but some other women took her away. Hudson thon observed to the. crowd "I would &oon put him thrwugh it." The offioesr asked him what he mearat by t.ha.t remark, and Hudson replied that he would fight him. The officer told him ho "would be reported for that alro. Subse- quently, tho constable proceeded to the podice station where reported the prrooead'iaigs to I llöpOOtor Owen. Evidence to this effect was given by the two officers referred to. Cross-examined by Mr R. S. Chamberlain (for the defence): P.C. Evans said he had complained of assaulted by a person before, but tho matn could not be surramoned because he werat away though wiitn-ess laid information against him. He had been four years in the force. Ho acknowledged that Hudson might have caught of him under a. mistaken impression that he (witness) was assaulting the woman. By Mr Marks: Notwithstanding that, Hud- son heM him arid urged the woman to strike witness with the stick. Edward B. Evans, of King's-road, spoke of the incident in the eonroborat rrt^' sub- stantially the police evideince on tfrat point. Jane Stockton, a neighbour oi the defendants, gave corroborative evidence as to what took place in Alexandra-road. She fviid Hudson was on the scone before Sarah Iluglxs fell down after th-c,(.cXient.a.1 blow from r.he constabde. Neither of the men wtruok the officer, but they held him while the woman struck lwn with the stick. 1nspector Owen said that when P.C. Evans come to the police station that night his face was tut on the left side while was a lump about the iize of a marble on his head. Mr Chamber.'ajn, for the oefenoe, acknow- ledged that the woman struck the officer, but denied! that there had been. an assault by either of tho men. He submitted that, after tho apo- logy had been given by Hughes in the field, the should have- gone home, thus ending the trouble for the evening. Wm. Hughes, in describing his journey home, &aid he was singing a Welsh hymn when the offioer stopped him (laughteir). Witness deeded that Hudson urgtod his w/rfo to strike the officer; a 111 he did was to protest against the blow de- livered by the constable at heir. Hits wife struck the constable with the stick because the latter struck hoe-T. The defendant Hudson denied itrg-iing the woma.n to strike the othrer,and said he merely tried to prevent the oonstable striking the womat.t again. The woman struck the officer with the stick over witness' shoulder unknown to witness. The Bench at this point intimated that the case a gain,st Hudlsfra would be dtsmT-ssed. Win. Davies,, carriage proprietor, Llandudno, said Hug-bes ha.d been in his employ for twelve years, during wJ1:oh time he had known nothing against him "except a littlo trouble over diink." By Mr Marks: He did not remember that ten y'Nl;r4 a.go Hughes had been for assaulting the police. The. Bench fined Sarah Hughes JB1 amd costs and her husband 15., and costs for the assault and 5s for drunkemr.ess, the costs to include the expenses of four witnesses. A MILK IRREGULAR SUMMONS. Mr Chamberiain mentioned a case where a client of his had been sumanuiod by Mr A. ( onolly, on behalf of tho LJ.andludno Urban Dis- trict Council for selling milk inot of the full substance and quality demanded by the. pur- chaser. A week ag"o, however, lie (Mr Cham- berlain) received! from Mr Conolly a letter say- ing he withdrew the summons. As this was a serious charge agai:ist his oiient he informed Mr Conodly that he could not agree to the with- drawal except by the consent of tho justices. The speaker tben quoted tho decision of Sir Francitj Jeuno to tho effect, t'ltot the withdlrawal of a Huniiinonfi oould only ba done by consent of 111<3 justices. MT Conolly subrnitUxl that the cases were entirely different in oliaaiaeter, because in the case quoted there had been a. hearing while there had been none in the present instance. The summons was withdrawn because it was not made returnable within the time demanded by the Act. The case would oome before the oourt in due couirso, because a. fresh summons had: beeu issued. Mr CJbaimbarlam: But why should the defend- ant be made to suffer for a mistake by a public authority ? This iiia.ii has t-l) pay me a guinea for oammg here, and it is unfair. Tlio Clerk: The question before your worships ia w'hethiar you consent to the withdrawal of the summons before you to-uay. The Chairman said that ooasont, was granted. Mr Chamberlain askodl for costs, and said' that in common fa;nr.■) a public aut.liOTity, acting as they were iin that instance, should withdfaw the case altogether aftea* a mistake of that lcind had boen made. The Ben oh reserved their decision with ro- gard1 to costs. DRUNKENNESS. Thomas Williams, Rhos View, Pctrirhynssdo, was fined 78 3d and oosts for being drunk and disorderly. For a like offence, Robert Ilobson, Pemyffrith, was fined 2s 6d nidi costs, while Riohard Griffitlx-j, Augusta-^tre^t, was mulcted in tho sum of 2B 6d and costs for being drunk in charge of a horse and carriage. NEWSPAPER CRYING. William wton, a. newspaper boy, dwri bed1 as of Back Madoo-street, JJan<#ud-no, was sum- moned under the County Council Bye-laws for 'orytng* newspapers ia the streets thus caus- ing a nuisanoe. Inspector Owen said he watched the boy for twenty minutes, and lie was "crying out" at the top of his voice. When asked for his name and address too defendant twioe re- fused cither. By Mr Marks (for the detenoe): A gentle- ma.n tc whom ho had been talking at the timo complained to him of the nuisance caused by the "crying" of the defendant. Mr Booth, manager of the Carlton Buffet, said he complained to Inspector Owen about the noise made by the defendant. By Mr Marks: Ho did sot reside at the Oarlton Buffet. Mr Marks submitted that inasmuch as the witnoas did not reside at the Buffet he was not a resident within the meaning of the bye- law. 'i The Deputy Chief 1e (who conducted the case for the police): It makes no differ- ence. Shops or offices are included in the bye-law. The Defendant acknowledged having re- fused to give Inspector Owen his name and address, but denied shouting loudly. Mr Marks said the caae was of consider.jle importance to the whole Press of Great Britain, and the publishers of newspapers, and might perhaps not end in that court. Owing to some misapprehension and a certain amount of over-zeal the authorities at Llan- dudno were really losing a little bit of the necessary judgment in dealing with cases of street trading. It was for the justices to say whether the shouting had been so x- cessive as to be a nuisanoe to the residents. The Bench with-held their decision pend- ing the hearing of the second ease, in which a youth named John Hughes was charged with a like offence. P.S. Jones (11) said the defendant was "cry- ing" papers in the street, and Mr J. R. Jones, school attendance officer, complained to him about it. Mr J. R. Jones, who gave corroborative evidence, said the defendant had a very piercing voice. Cross-examined: He did not reside in Clifton-road where the defendant was walk- ing at the time in question. The Chairman said the Bench had given the cases very considerable consideration as street calls had become a very great nuisance. They hoped the police would relax none of their vigilance, and that they would be able to bring a case before them where they could convict. It was very creditable to the police that they persisted in the matter as they did. In this instance, however, they dis- missed both summonses. TOWN PORTER'S EXCESSIVE CHARGE. Robert Jones, a town porter, Nantygamar, was summoned under th-e Llandudno Coun- cil's bye-laws with demanding money in ex- cess of the legitimate chargcs for porterage. A Dublin gentleman, named Reade, said he commissioned defendant to convey for him five parcels from Evens' Hotel, near the Llan- dudno Railway Station, to the Bryn, Craigy- don, for which the defendant demanded as. When witness demurred defendant said he was employed by the Railway Company, ard that if witness objected he should communi- cate with the railway authorities. At the railway station witness was informed that the company had no jurisdiction over the man, and that he was under the Llandudno Urban District Council. Mr Conolly (for the Council) explained that the legal charge for the work should have been Is 8d--4d per parcel. Defendant said he had been obliged to engage an assistant to convey the packages, which included two large trunks and four bags, and that he had carried the luggage downstairs at the hotel and upstairs again at the Bryn. Complainant denied that the trunks were large. Mr Conolly, in answer to the Bench, said the defendant could have refused to carry the articles down and upstairs as described, but it was the custom for porters to do the work in the ordinary course. Defendant was fined 2s 6d and costs. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A HORSE. David Da vies, Charlton-street, was charged with causing a horse to be worked in an un- fit condition on the 6th inst., the driver of the animal, Hugh Roberts, Lloyd-street, bring charged with so working it. Inspector Fleming, of the R.S.P.C.A., said he saw the animal in Yaughan-street, in charge of Davies. It was walking very lame- ly, suffering from fever in the feet. Ro- berts ooid "Davies knows she's lame," and when witness saw Davies the latter said, "She walks a bit lame in the mornings. She fell down yesterday. I look aiter the horses myself. I will take her out and have veterinary surgeon to her. I am sorry 1 didn't stop her. Witness had cautioned Da- • vies a week previously in respect to another hor.se. Evidence was also given by P.S. Jones. Mr Marks (for the defendants) said the horse in question had been one of four animaJs on the previous evening drawing a load of coal up the Orme's Head, and by some mis- adventure it slipped. It was apparently nothing the worse, however, and next morn- ing Roberts attached it to a cart and pro- ceeded to the railway station to take away a load of bran and flour. As soon as the .animal tried to pull, ho we vex, the eff-ect of the slight strain on the previous night became obvious, and immediately Roberts saw that —he could not 1-eave the animal unattended— he proceeded with it to Davies to tell of it. He was on his way when the inspector came along. He submitted that the case should lie dismissed on the defendants paying the costs. Inspector Fleming said he had no desire to press the case, wh-ereupon The Bench dism:s«d the case, the defend- ants paying the costs. Å SINGULAR INCIDENT. Owen Hughes, carriage proprietor, Craigy- don, pleaded not guilty to ill-treating his horse on the 13th inst. Inspector Fleming said he saw the defend- ant striking the horse, which was attached to .a cab near the railway station, with the handle of the whip produced two or three severe blows on the nose and head. He spok,e. to the defendant about it, defendant replying "I must beat him. He's a gibber." Witness called his attention to the whip handle used. and asked why he did not use the carriage whip. Defendant answered, "I must use this. I only took it out to-day, and I won't use it again." The whip weighed 15 ounces, and the defendant used the butt end to strike. One of the horse's eyes was injured by a blow. He asked defendant to take the animal home, and he promised to do so, but about an hour afterwards witness and P.C. 39 again stopped him as he was driving the horse through the street. Wit- ness called the police offioer's attention to the injured eyo. P.C. 39 gave evidence relating to the latter incident, and stated that the eye of the horse was closed. Inspector Fleming was re-callcd by Mr Chamberlain, and in reply to a question he said he was positive that it was the same horse he saw when the constable was with him earlier in the evening. Mr Chambe-rlain Then there is something very remarkable about th;s case. The de- fendant teHs me now he never saw you that niglit after the first occasion near "the rail- way station. He has a witness to call who says it was lie you and the offioer stopped, and that the defendant's horse was not in that man's charge at all. John Hobson, a driver, who bore a per- sonal resemblance to the defendant, said In- spector Fleming and the constable stopped his horse about eleven p.m. as he was d-rivi-ig home. Inspector Fleming said something about striking the hors.?, but witness ccuM see he had made a mistake and let him be" (laughter). He was no relation of Hughes, and Hughes had nerer driven witness' horse. Ho knew nothing of the stoppage of Hughes' horse earlier in the day (laughter). John Owen, Ty'nyffrjth, said he saw the officers stop Hobson's horse and look into its mouth, which he could not understand, be- cause it was too dark to distinguish the animal's age (laughter). So far as witness could see there was nothing wrong with the horse. The Chairman The point is now that the two horses could scarcely have had bad eves (laughter). Inspector Hobson suggested that the two animals had been injured. In answer to Mr Chamberlain. PC. Evans (3.9) now paid it was Hobson's horse he ex- amined with the insp«?ctor. The Bench dismissed the case. Inspector Fleming asked that costs be allowed, but his request was refused. DAMAGED STREET TREES. Joseph Davies, Robert Edward Williams, ■and Joseph Evans, horse drivers, were fined Is each and costa for allowing horses in their charge to damage street trees ng- in to the Council. Mr Conolly (clerk to the Council" who pros-ecuted, said numerous complaints were received of damage done to trees by horses left unattended, and, though the Council had no desire to press the charges in those cases, they hoped on a future occasion the magis- trals would punish offenders duly.

LLANDUDNO & DISTRICT FIELD CLUB. EXCURSION TO PENRHYN SLATE QUARRIES. On Saturdtv last, the members of this Club from Colwyn Bay and IJandudno paid a visit to these famous quarries. On arrival they were conducted over the quai-yle-s by ono of the officials. There quarries have been worked for from 200 to 300 years in both an upward and a downward directioia, the various beds of slate being followed in both directions. From 1!h, lower levels the slate is carried in trucks through tunnols which end in vertical shafts in which the truok.3 are raked to the surface in cages by tho principle known as the water balance. By filling a large tank with wate.< in the cage at the top, the weight of the truck-loads of slate a.t the bottom is balanced, and when the weight of the lat-teris just exceeded, it rises to the sur- face and the truck with the wateT reaches the bottom, where trie water is run out and riows away through a tunnel into the Ogwcn River. Tho slate occurs ia several veins, known a.s the blue vein, red vein, etc. G-reat quantities of the best quality slate of comparatively small size arc Kent away daily for the manufacture of school slate. The direction of the cleavage planes of the slate is about. N.E. to S.W., and the slat" is at first removed in large blocks by blasting/ and these blocks a.re split into slabs, which are taken to the- sheds, where it is further split and made into elates of various sizes. The ;131. from this quarry are very hard and durable, but as a rule are not so thin as those irom Fest-inio-.g. Mr W. Bezant, Lowe gave a short description of the geology of slate, and in the course of his remarks stated that thoic slates be-kmgei to the Cambrian .-erics of stratified rocks, and that fossils were not found in great numbers. All slates were formed in the first insta.x«5 cut of deposits of mad, which became con- solidated, and the slaty cleavage was produced by enormous pressure applied a.t right ang-k-s to tthe planes of cleavage. To the N.W. of this series of siaty rocks occurred a ridge of pre- Cambrian rock, of much older date, and W1J!J from its unyielding character formed a line of resistance of a barrier to the pressure which came fiom the S.E., the argillaceous rocks, thus we-lged in were by degr-ces converted into slate. The ps.rt.v then returned to Bothesda, where tea was provided at the Ogr.-ca Restaurant, and Llandudno W.a,5 reached afctyjt 7.30. The next. excursion will be on Saturday, Sep- tember 10th, to G vvaenysgar Church, tho celeb- rated bone cc,, t.ho Gop and Newmarket. Llandudno will bo Ie/t. at 1.5 by train to Aber- gele, whence the party will proceed in carriage-, to Gwaenysgor, ietureJn.g from Newmarket. It is particularly peq-uesied that members wiH in- form tlio Excursion Secretary, Mr W. Bezant Lowe, Ca-3 Carw, Llanfairfrohnn, of their in- on to go by this excursion, by about Septe.n- ber 4th, so that arra ca be made abo.it conveyances. A pleasant, drive is anticipated, and the walking distance wi.1 he only about two m.'loi. Tho Rev. Meredith Hughes, tatyn, Will describe the archaeology, aid Mr Lowo the geology.
