OLD COLWYM "YET" IN TROUBLE. WiFc'S ALLEGATIONS OF CRUELTY. GILBERTIAN POLICING SITUATION. Edith Jane Robes S, wii of Robert. Roberts, veter-nary surgeon, Old Colwyn, told the Llan- j dudno B'jinoh a sad story on Monday when sire aj./pnod tor a sejsarat-ion and maintenanoe order aga:.n.st her husband. The aeicndaat ."ilki not appear. Mr R S. Chamberlain (Messrs Chamberlain and Johnson, Llandudno), who appeared for Mrs Roberts, said the application was made era. the ground of cruelty. it was altogether a very sad car.e. His client had been married to the defen- dant, for 2-1- years and there were 7 children, two of whom, however, were out of hand, so to speak, the reniaimng five being under 12 years of age. Drink was the cause of all the trouble, and for 24 years Mrs Roberts had experienced what a great many other women had suffered under similar circumsumoes. She had been knocked. about, threatened, and made generally miser- able, but she had repeatedly forgiven hun, no aot.ou being taken until this 1<15t assault was committed. When their worships had heard the e. idoiioo they would agree wilh h:m thai L'j time had coine when she was fully justified in asking foor that peace which could only be ob- tained by means of a separation order. When the man was in drink he ill-treated his wife and even when sober he hardly spoke to her from week-end to week-end. 110 had told the children it would be better for them if their mother were dead. On the evening in question he came home very drunk. He was very violent, used terrible language and threatened his wife, finally he smashed a chair and threw it at her. He made things so bad for her in fact, that she eventually had to leave the house. She slept at a neigh- bour's while her daughter had to pass the night at the police station. When the mother went to the house the next day she found that her bus- band had left, a note beutg on the table saying he had sent a bit of fish in and that he would "be home presently." The wife was so forgiv- ing that she cooked the fish for him and what took place when he Came home would be related by the complainant. Even when he was given, a chance to make matters up he behaved like a blackguard. lie shut the door in her face and a-busod her. The defendant was apparently earning, comparatively little money. The. was a houseful of furniture, but whether that could: be clamed by the wife remained to be seen. He did not propose asking the Bench to deal with the furniture, but if the order were granted steps would be taken with regard to them. The complainant did not take that action with the intention of obtaining much money from b-ør husband, because she did not exl)c-ct to get much in any event. As there were five children to maintain, however, the wife, who asked for their custody, was entitled1 to at least El for the maintainance of herself and the family. AFTgR TWENTY-FOUR YEARS. The complainant gave evidence bearing out jn detail the statement of her advocate and adided that the five youngest children were, Ed- ward1 (12 years of ago), Bertha (10), Grace (8). Marion (6), and Clifford (3). Her husband had ill- used her more or less for the 24 years they had been married. lIe had been sober during the past twelve mon.ths up to the onning un q'ues- tion, when, he broke his In the course of the last ten years he had abused and assaulted her dozens of times. About seven months pre- viously he abused her at night, turning her out of her bedroom and threatening- to kill her. llcr daughter then came to the rescue. She had forgiven him over and over again, but she was now tired of that. On the night referred to he came home about 11 o'clock. He beat the door wit,% his stick apparently expecting her to open it, but she did not do so because she was afraid of h:m, She went to the back, ar.d after- wards called some friends in, one of whom fetched a policeman who, however, said! he could do nothing -as the house was not in his district. Her friends, however, came w her rescue. She suw her husband aftea"wards standing in the back door with a. stick rin his liavj as if waiting for her. Eventually a policeman and a gentleman friend' got him in and after pacifying him some- what got 'to bed. In the meantime she kept out of the way. Though he had promised not to do #o, he got up again, however, and there was another scene, lie cried out that the child- ren would be better dead than alive with her. Subsequently her friends took the chiLdren, one daughter sleeping the might in the police station while witness herself slept at a neighbour's. Earlier in the day, about 5.30, her husband came in and she oould see that he was drunk for the first time in twelve months. He was abusive and she tried to pacily him. He smashed a ehair into atoms and threw it at her. On the following morning- when she went 'to give the ohi'dietn. their breakfast her husband was not to be found. He had left aNnote on the table, as Mr Chamberlain had stated. She cooked the fi-sh and he returned in due course. He was st,ili. in a bad temper and her friends did all they oould to qivieten him while he ate the fisih He appeared1 to be sorry and one of her friends, observing 'this, advised her to go to him. She proceeded in tho direction of the door. but her husband got up and, shut and bolted the door in her faoe. All along he had treated her just like a house-keeper and she was perfectly miserable. She d/id not want his momeiy, out though she, had to a considerable extant boon kerning the childreai already and was willing' to do all she could in that direction in 'the future she thought he ought to do some- thing to keep them. They had been living from hand to mouth for some time. The Chairman (Mr Km\"sha\v): Does any- body apart, from his wife know anything- about him ? The Clerk replied that the man was a veterin- ary surgeon at Old Colwyn but he was airaid he had not been doing much business for sarno time. Mr Chamberlain But his position is enough to justify you making a substantial order against him. The Chairman: Then we make an order for maintenance at the rate of £1 per week, the wife to have tho custody of [be <-in:dr"n POLICING DILEMMA. Tbe Chairman: And' now what about the pohoo? Something was said that tbe police oould not. aot in tins case? Deputy Chief Constable Rees: Part of Old Colwyn is in the Panah of Llysfaen and this place is jt over t.bo boundary i«:i L]v\sfat'H and therefore policed by Carnarvonshire. I should think thai, the oomplainanft on this case went to a Denbighshire eonstabiie. Mr Jelf IVtit (a magistrate): That is exactly where the difficulty oomes in. Mr Chamberlain: SuptK^ng a murder was going on ? The Deputy Chief Oouseable: That is where the difficulty lies. As I said, this plstoe ia just a few yards oyer the boundary un, C&rmfirvoflv- Sihire and the went to a Deiii)ilhsliiie officer. Mr Jelf-Petit: You have got to have a Den- bighshire constable. I The Deputy Chief Constable: I would be very glad (laughter). g Oiao of the magistrates: ExtraordknaryJ

THE CHANCELLOR ON PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS. NEXT YEAR'S SCHEME. THE HIGHEST FORM OF PATRIOTISM. The Chancellor left the Eisteddfod at Colwyn Bay to-day week to carry out. a foundation-stone laying c-eremory at the Fonrhos College for Girls, situated about a quarter of a mile from the Eisteddfod Pavilion, new buildings being" in course of erection for the junior department He was accompanied by Mrs Lloyd George and Miss Megan; the Master of Elibank, Lady MacLaren, Sir Herbert and Lady Roberts, Mr Herbert Lwis, M.P., and Mrs Lewis, Mr Wm. Jones, M.P., Sir J. Prkhard Jones, Mr Fred Smith, and others. Mrs Lloyd George was pre- sented with a beautiful bouque- ef flowers, and 1 Megan with a posy and a hug-e box of choco- lates. Mr Isaao A. Mack (vioc-ehairman of the College Council) presided. The Lady Principal (Miss Ilovey) tendered a cordial weicome to her distinguished visitors, and in the course of her annual report she dwelt with satisfaction upon the fact t.hat pupils did not now leave the eoiioge at so early a.n age as formerly concluding with a personal appeal to the Chancellor to do something- lor the better remuneration of the reaching proiession, and also for pensioning tiieni in their old age and in Jlness, Mr Lloyd George, who was enthusiastically received* reierred at the outset to t.he charming and healthy site occupied by the college build- ings. It was, he said, of the utmost importance that a child who had to leave his home- for his education was sent to a school where not only were the surroundings ilealth-giving, but whose atmosphere was inspiring', and there was nothing more inspiring than the air from the Welsh hills (laughter and appla-use). In that case th-c scholars were able to pursue their studies under ilia very best of physical cond'it'.ons, breathing broeees blowing from all parts of the world, and coming across th-J ooean with neither motor- oar dust nor petrol fumes mixed with them (laughter and applause). It was equally impor- tant that the other atmosphere of a school should be equally free from taint as it was in that case, where young- members of churches of ail denomi.ia-tions were able to join together in religious exercises and study. Tiie very essence of suooe.siul 'teaching was hunian sympathy, which, thank God, was unsectaxtan (hear, hear). He was delighted to hear that there was it tendency to extend the pariod of residence at the college. lie tried to emphasise upon his friends the value of a prolonged educational oourse lor all their children, and there was no time when he got nearer to quarrelling with them than when he heard them announce their intention of withdrawing their dhildraa from school when he and they well know that the one tiling' they could not afford to do was to umier-eduoate their children. And the nation should wake up to realise better the vtal neces- sity of keeping children in school as long as they oould. Every nation that was progressive in spirit and action realised, unconsciously no ooubt, the force of old Welsh adage, "Goreu an", arf ("The best weapon is the weapon of loarnin,)-a very sound, sapient bit cu advice given in the most musical of lan- guages (laughter and cheers). It was of supreme linporta.nce that parents should realise that, if necessary, they ebould make! a sacrifice in order to keep their dbjkkcn for a reasonable period in school. Thrro wat 110 parent who would no. find it w ortii nis while to sacrifice some little luxury so that he might keep his child longer ia school. The toiiso of knowing that ho had done something for his eviiid wouid later on be the greatest joy a.nd delight of his life (ap- p,aus>c"). after all, they owed that to the na.i.n. THE HIGHEST PATRIOTISM took tho form of making a sacrifice for one's oountry, and there was no sacrifice for a coun- try which repaid the country better than a sacrifice a mam made in keeping his child as long as possible in some school or other (applause). Proceeding, the Chancellor said the Lady Principal 'had referred to pensions for teachers. That was a topio whioh he should shun, be cause t oost money—"(laughter)—and anything that cost money meant taxes, and taxes got every- body into trouble, including the Chancellor of the Exchequer (loud laughter). Taxes involved filling up forms, and, what was more, signing cheques. He would personally rather fill all the forms in the world than sign a cheque, but it was the signing of forms that }>eo]ile kicked up such a fuss about just now (laughter). When- ever anybody caiiio to him a.bout something that involved the spending of money he was .shy. Nevertheless, if there was one object more than another with which lie was fuller in sym- pathy it was that referred to by Miss Hovey. Before lie went on his holiday a deputation of teachers waited upon him from Ireland, and they told him a story which was rather discredi- table to the Empire, for teachers devoted their lives to teatihing an behalf of the Empire. They told him of cases where teachers were paid a W34:r° that a navvy would refuoo-("S:w,me")- and that at the end of their days, when broken down in health and strength, they had nothing toO keep themselves and families from the work- house. Th-ey said that at that very hour there were hundreds of teachers who had given their lives to the schools of Ireland, abandoned and deserted by the country they had served, in the workhouse ("Shame"). That was A VERY DISGRACEFUL STOJIY to be told of the richcst nation under the sun (ioud applause). He was recently at Oberam- mergau, the gueat of a parish priest who told him that in Bavaria the teachers of the village school—not tiie teacher of a swagger sohoot suoh as Penrhos Uoll<,go-oau,hler) -was paid a sal- ary which was twice as good as we paid our village school teachers. Not only that, but when the teachers grew old they got a handsome pension from the. St-abe (hear, hear). The result was that the Bavarian teacher had no anxiety about his future, and never worried about the prospect of obta-ining daily bread for their children when they broke down in health (ap- plause). It was quite as much as a teacher oould do to teach children when his brains, nerves and heart wero alright, and i T, was too luuch to expect him to do his duty when his heart-strings were worn and torn until they were ragged by anxieties about his daily bread (cheers). Germany had solved that problem. Next year he hoped to have the privilege of in- tisuran.v, which by means of the oantributroiis ihsuranoe which by means of the contributions of the workers of the kingdom woulcL place the worker above any want for his daily bread (ap- plause): Snoh a scheme they already had in force in Germany, but he hoped the British scheme would be <. better one (hear, hear). He did not believe in copying Germany, but in going one better (cheers). In coniieotion with that scheme lie hoped to do something for the teach- ers, because he was abundantly satisfied as to the desirability of it, and because from a national tjoint of view it was an obligation (hear, hear). Mr floyd George then pressed a button on the table before him, which, by means of elec- tricity set the foundation stone in its proper position in the now building a few score yards away. DESCRIPTION OF NEW BUILDING. The new building is planned on the site in Llanneroh Road, lately purchased by the Col- lege Authorities. Externally it willi be finished in pressed brick with hard York atone dneesing-3 and with the finte bay windows and octagonal staircase tD,"w whioh should- form a noteworthy object in the landacajje. Largo windows are arranged in all tlie rooms, taken up a3 high as possible so as to adarut of ample light and "ventilation. The whole of tho ground floor is formed with concrete finished! with a patent composition floor which will be fireproof, warm and ioiseless. A large recreation, and dining-room, study, very complete lavatory accommodation, with a goodi kitchen and the uaual offices complete the ground floor plan, and it. is considered that the kitchen may possibly bo used for cooking 100- tures. On the first floor two dormitonies are arranged with suitable bathroom and lavatory accommodation. In all oases the bathrooms and lavatories have concrete floors with patent oom- position flooring. On the top floor further dbrmitary axxommodation is provided with the necessary bathrooms, etc. The possibility of providing a sprinkler instal- lation all over the now bulking is in eotzitcmpi*- tion, which would mean that tht'! whole block would be practically secure from fire, aa in the case of an outbreak it would be at once checked by the automatic opening of the sprinklers. There is no doubt the whlOle building when com- plete will very considerably &ug'mcn.t the accom- modation of the college and provide tit with a very satiai'-actory preparatory school for the junior girls- The architects are Messrs J. M. Porter and Eloook, of The Estate. Office, Oolwyn Bay, who have carried out all the previous work at the college and t-he contractor is Mr OswaJdI Jones, of York Road, Colwyn Bay.

It was reported with regard to the purchase of the tannery, that the Council had met in com- mittee on the 15th of August, when a email com- mittee was deputed to view tlie premises to pre- pa.re a. report thereon. This report was duly presented at a meeting held on '¡:œ 22nd of iz ts A'ugusf, when complaints were made that there had been a ieakc.ge as to information 01 the 111- tention of the Council to purchase the property. It was then proposed that the maximum price to be given for the tannery should 1*3 £ i.,550. To this there was an amencbiejit that- the limit should be £ 1,350, but this was defeated, and the original motion was carried, the- voting 1113 sevan to four. Me.-yrs E. "Williams, H. E, Priohard, and T. Evans were appointed to act on behaif of the Council in the matter. A special meeting of the Council had been lie-id m the 5th inst., whan it was reported that tbe purchase of the. tannery had been made for tho Council by Mr Edward Jones, the price paid heinz £ 1,400. l'his report was adopted, and the Council then went into committee to consider tho question of dealing with the tannery, it bamg reported that aji oiler had been made by a DoigeJley tanner. It was understood that, the Council are disposed to re-sell the tannery in order that the place may still provide employment for local labour. The question applying for a loan to defray the cost of purchasing was deferred by seven votes to four. IMPROVING THE ENTRANCE TO THE BGRIAL GROUND. A letter was read from the County Council on the queit'on. of the liability of the Urban Dis- trict Council and of the Abergele Parish Coun- cit iz, defray the cost o.I widenin.g and improving the entrance to the Abergele burial ground, Chapei-siroat. The County Council gave at as their opinion that the liability would ba based upon the. rateable val-e of both parishes. THE FORESHORE RIGHTS. It was reported that, on August 27ti-L. Mr St. John Charlton, of the Kiumcl Estate Office, had written that tbo qu-ewtion of Mr 11. R. Hug'hes selling his rights m about three acres of the Poinsarn Foreshore had been laid before that gentleman, who was prepared to sell his interests for £ 150. The Counvil had replied offering £ 100. The Clerk now stat?d that he had reoe.ved a further letter from Mr Charlton, stating that Mr Hughes would agree to the Council's oifer (hear, Hughes would agree to the Council's oifer (hear, hear). Tho oifer was subject to the Council providing an cutlet for surface water from tho land owned by Mr Hughes abutting on Sea- roed. On the motion of Air W. P. Morr..s, the rc- port. was adopted, and Mr Hughes' terms ac- cepted. STEAM ROLLING. Tho Council accepted the tender of Mr Llevv. Owen (Holywell) for steam rolling the roads. E\ ENLNG CLAfcSEfe. The Finance Conuniitee recommended tho granting of an application by Mr F. J. Holmes, socretary to the District Education Committee, for £ 20 towards the cost of the evening classes, aad the same was ado p ted. THE ROAD DEVELOPMENT BOARD CON- FERENCE. With regnrd to the application to be made for grants from the Road Development Board, the Streets aiidl Works Committee had decided to ask the Surveyor to prepare a rejy>rt for the dis- triet as to the improvement most urgently fe- quired, and to submit the ,;3.mû or the Coun- oil's consideration prior to the report being laid before the ooniereaioe of surveyors which as to tie held at Ruthin on the 21st 11-St. Mr Jones now placed his rraport before the Ocnmeil, and suggested that Chtqx^l-street should be Avidoncd at a oost of £904; the laying of a good sub- stantial foundation of macadJam to roads at a cost of £500; the improvement ckf the road near Rose Hill, making' th-e gradient 1 in 15, instead of as at present 1 in 30. the yo&i. being estima- ted at £ 140; and the tar-painting oj Towyn- road from the Brickfields to Ty-Gwym. The Committee suggested that preference be given to the widening1 of Chanel-street and Towyn- road tarring. The estimate for Chapel-street was amended bv the committee to £1750, and the report was adopted. LIGHTING MATTERS. The Survovor asked 'for instructions as to when he should slop lighting1 the Promenade lamps at Pervsarn. It was usually done at the end of September. Mr Jno. Edwards (Pensara) suggested that they should disoontin'tio the lighting- at once, as there were very few visitors about. This wa.s agreed' to. MISCHIEVOUS BOYS. A letter was read from P.O. M. Davies .toting tliat on Attgust 22nd, a-t 8.30 p.m., he had found a boy interfering with the lamp near the Wesleyun Chapel. The. lad was extinguish- ing the lamp and re-lighting it. The officer informed tho boy's mother of the "ilair, and she promised to give him a good sou nd thrashing when. he came home (laughter and hear, hear). On the 31st of August, the officer noticed that tilie f1:1me lamp was alight during the day- time. Mr Jno. Edwardis (Tanyxron) said that un- fortunately this particular lamp had a meter attached, a.nd from it the consumption of gas in t.ho distriot was taken. He had also seen a lad interfering with lamps, but the boy bolted on teeing- him. Mr W. J. Evans also reported 1ik occurren- r jj j], Thomas: lis always the same with Abergele boys (laughter). It was decided that proceedings be taken in future against offenders. SETTLED AT LAST. The Clerk stated that some three years ago tho Oouncd purchased a considerable amount of land for the widening of Chapel-street, and it was then agreed tliat the. County Council should l>ay them the' sum of £ 150 towards the improve- ments when, work was completed. The land was now to be transferred' to the Council, and tlw arrangements completed according to the original arrangements. He asked the Council to approve of the conveyance of the land to tlie County Council, and to pass a resolution affixing tlie Council's sra! to the agreement. Thio was agreedl to, and1 thei necessary resalu- agreemWt with the railway' com- PANY. The CSerk also referred to the agreement ex- isting- between the Council and the Railway Com- pany as to tlie land along.1 too embankment be- tween Pensiirn and Towyn, Undier that agree- ment the Council paid the company £ 1 per an- UWll. and! 10s for the privilege Of placing seals on the property. The old: agreement had been cancelled, and & new one drafted, whereby the Council would haw the samo privileges for the sum of £ 1 per annum. A resolution was passed approving of tho new agreement. HARVEST THANKSGIVING. The Clerk asked for instructions as to the steps to bo ta-ken by tho Oouooil for declaring Thursday, October bth., a public holiday, that be-- ing the date agreed for tOO harvest thanksgiving. It was decided to issue the usual notioas. MAIN ROADS MAINTENANCE. The Ckrk to the Deniagtehire County Coun- cil wrote that the Oouncd had approved: a re- of tlie Urban Ma-n Reads Com- mittee on Friday last, that the, County Council should enter into a attract with the Abergele Urban Council for the maintenance, ptc., of the ly-ft;n roads for the current year for tbe sum of JE622. 'llie Surveyor having repeated tliat the Coun- cil h&d in May last, after an interview he had witSi the Count-y Surveyor, deleted JE;90 from the original estimate of ( expenditure of £ 949 7s, leaving a ouih of £ 859 17s, tiie offer otf the County Council meant a reduction of £ 238 17s. But aa against that sum lie was willing to allow tho County Council the sum of £ 161, leaving a ba/ianee of £ 67, and suggested that the Council might offer to tOO the work for an additional ernn of £ 70. „ At tin.- meeting of the Council on the 22nd Aug-uet. Mr Priohard moved that as the esti- mate sent in WM a perfectly honest one, that the Council adhere to it. and inform the County Council acoordingly that they oould not enter into a oonU-Al-t for a lees sum than £859 17a. that being tlie amount of the amended estimate. Mr Isaac Morris proposed, as an amentiment. that an oSer be made to the County Council to carry out the work for £ 700, and Mr W. J. E, vem seconded. TOO original motion was then carried by a large majority, and the miautea wero now oon- årzuød.

UNDESIRABLE'S KEPT AWAY. In two or three instances the parties sum- moned did not appear, and Deputy Chief Ccn- gtable Il-.ei; applied for warrants. The Clerk: 1 undc-rsiand these me-n have gone to South Wales. Would it net be better to pro- ceed! with tbe cases in' their abap.ee The Deputy Chief Constable: No; I think it would be better to B«e tlie warrants against them. There people ocrne up for a, short period and when. they got into trouble they go to South Wales. Their room is better thaa their company, and so long as the warrants are out they wiji kejp away from. here (laughter). Should they return of oourse they will be arres- ted. The Bench cgreed iLis v'ew and granted the i\qaestw FINED FOR CRUELTY. W illiam Jones, gf l\itie Lsaa Farm, Llandud- no, yitea.diad! gnzilty to working a horse whilstv in an unfit ocmeLitiien on the 2nd ult., and was fined 5s and oe*.ts.

It was very lame on the ne-ar fore leg a.nd suffered from two sor<s, one on either side of the back. Defendant ex- presssd big regTot when hi-j attention was called to the matter and added tliat the sores had been treated on several occasions. The horse was in fairly good condition and should recover all right in dtie time- Vvivness had ascertained that it was subsequently treated by a vetenin- arv surgeoci. DAMAGED STRiEET TREES. Arthur Hughes, a. carter, living in Pleasent- street, LlaJidudSvo, who was summoned for damaging street trees, the property of the Llan- dudno Urbaia Distiricc Council also pleaded guikr. Mr A. Conolly, c: -k to the Council, who 'appeared' for the prosecution, said that was a flagrant, case of damaging public property, and he asked tJie Bench to impose an exemplary tine. P. C. Lowis st-aeed that, after driving his horse to the parapet tlie defenefcunt deliberately tore the branch produced a neighbouring tree and gave. it to tJie animal which ate the leaves. i iie Chairman said the Bench ccn&ideffed the offence a serious one as it was a. serious thing for the town to have its trees damaged, in that way. They inflicted a fine of 10s and costs. The Defendant: I think that- is otu of all reason. Tiie Clerk (sharply): You stand down. Defendant proceeded to argue that it was un- fair to punish him wli,.Ic others went free for the same olt-esKC, but was agaiu ordeiod to "stand down."

POSITIVE LLANDUDNO WITNESS. A Llandudno witness, who gave her evidence years ago, now endorses it in a. most positive way, adding immeasurably to its value. When first speaking of her oaae, Mrs E. Bos- wick, ox 11, Proapeet Place, Ty-Gwvn, Llan- dudno, said :Für a mimbe-r of years I was a gieat sufferer from kidney tixiuble. I had m pains La the small of my back, and sometimeo they would oatch 1110 quite suddenly, I became so weak that I could hardly get up after bending down, and many a timo had to take hold oi something to help my-elf up. I also suffered with my Jleed, and mv lictrt seemed 00 be affec- Li ted. I waji feeling very ill at the time I using Dean's baekadie kidney pii-ls, but I am glad to say they did nie a world of good. They quite cured me of all the pains. (Signed (Mrs) E. Beswic-k. Nearly 3 years after making tlie ahoH, state- ment, Mrs Beswick said:—"1 have enjoy-cd the best of health, sines I was cured by Dean's back- ache kidney pills."
