Evans Jones reported that there were large number of paupers over 70 years of ago m his district, most of whom had informed him that they had no intention of applyng for old- age pensions next Jauary as they preferred to fee in receipt of parish relief. Mr John II u gibes: You mean these getting 5a or over already ? Mr Evans Jones: That is so. Mr J. Richards: They are under fine impres- sion that if they accept a pension they will no longer be allowed mcdioal attendance free. The Chairmiui It is understood that they can have medical attendance. Mr J. Richards: Then the faot ought to be made known. The Clerk: Even then they must apply to the officers of the Guardians. They will not be allowed medics;! attendance out of the Pension Fund apart from the usual grant. Mr Evan Jones, in reply to Mr J. Hughes, sa.:d that a pensioner would have to apply to the Relieving Officer for an order before he could get medical relief. It WaS decided to defer the subj ret for a month to enaMe the officers to explain the position to the paupers interested. A QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY. Mr Evans Jcnes reported that he had removed a lunat.c, who was living with his father, to Donbgh Asylum. The man had a settlement at Fest.mog, which Union would have to pay for his keep in the Asylum. The Chairman sad he doubted whether the officer was right in removing the. man sinoo ho belonged -to another r nion. Mr Evans Jones: It is my duty to relieve every case in my district, and then for the Guardians to chijn it from other Unions after- Wards. Rev. J. Gower: As long as lie was under the charge of his father it was the duty of the pol- ice to remove him. After some further discussion, the matter was Adjourned for a month. LIFE AT MAENAN. Mr Evans Jones reported that an aged pauper residing at Maenaiii had asked to be provided with coal. Mr J. Richards moved that the application be granted. Rev. J. Gower: There are men living at Maenan who will not work on the farms. They prefer to catch rabbits and send them to Llan- dudno, and they do far better than the farmers. The application was refused. PAUPERS' BOOTS. Mr Evans Jones reported that a pauper be- longing to the Holyhead Union desired the Board to apply to that Union to grant her a pair of boots. Rsv. J. Gower: Does she have her boots re- paired or does she wear them simply until they aa-e worn out and then apply for another pair? Mr Evans Jones: Her boots ahow signs of hav- ing been repaired. It was decided to applybr the boots to the Holyhead Union. INMATES' CHRISTMAS DINNER. The Workhouse Master drew attention to .the usual formal.ty adopted by the Board in giving orders for the inmates' Christmas dinner. Mr W Williams contended that if the dinoier vas held a month before tho holidays it would appear unseasonable,. He moved it be de- ferred to the New Year. Mr J. Williams seconded. Rev J. Gower We had better have it early rext month. We will not be ab'e to enjoy it after our Christmas dinner (laughter). It was iinaily decided to have the dinner on j December 20th on market da v. Tt.NuEil ACCEPTED. The tender of Mr Lloyd Jones, amounting to El 18s 6d, for erecting a grate in the Master's room was accepted. A D ISCUSSIO-N ON DISTRICT NURSING. The application from Mrs Wynne Finch for a subscription towards the newly-formed District Nursing Association at Pentrevoelas, which was adjourned at the previous meeting, was again considered. The Chairman moved that the application be granted- The committee had been canvassing the whole district, and had been well received everywhere. It was an Association which the Board should support, as it was an excellent cause, and one of great utility to the Union. Tho Clerk said the Board could not pay any turn to the Association until it was finally formed. Mr J. Hughes: Will the nurse cover all her district without charging travelling expenses? I The Chairman Certainly. Rev. Henry Jones: I was at Pentrevoelas a short time ago, and the lady of the house where I was staying had been out collecting towards the newly-formed Association. At first the people did not appoar ready to assist, but a man fell ill, and Mrs Wynne Finch sent a nurse to look after him at her own expense. Then the people, after seeing what th~ nurso was capable of doing, changed their minds, and sent in their subscrip- tions of their own accord. Mr J. Williams: Will it not be easier for us to settle upon the amount after the Association has been properly formed The Chairman said that the paupers in the district would be attended free. Mr David Lewis: What about the people re- tiding in the other part of Capel Garmon not in- eluded in this district? The Chairman: They come within the Llanrwst district. Rev. J. Gower pointed out Llanrwst was the town for a large rural area; it was the market and fair town of the country. Mr D. Lewis: If we subscribe towards one district, we must subscribe towards the others. The Chairman Certainly. Promote nursing associations in the other districts and we will assist you. Mr W. G. Jones moved, and Mr W. Williams seconded, that the Association be supported, the motion being adopted. Mr Hugh Hughes moved that the subscription The JE3 3s, and Mr John Hughes seconded. Mr LI. G. Jones moved that the subscription be- S5 5s, and that each district be granted the aame amount, provided they promoted a similar Association. Rev. J. 1.1. Richards: That. is the amount granted the Llanrwst Association. There ought to be some differentiation between the town and the country districts. Mr J. illiams: It would not be just to do so. Uanrwst town has five representatives here, whereas no other district has more than two, and the rateable value is also a consideration. Mr LI. G. Jones: I am only asking for fair play for both. You must remember that there are plenty of doctors at Llanrwst, while there is not one in this district. Mr John Williams: Most of the paupers at Llanrwst come from the country districts. The Chairman: Oh no; they arc hereditary. Rev. J. Gower: Why don t you do what I want you to do. Two sisters or neighbours should be made to live together, then there would be less work for the nurses, and the Board would have more money to subscribe towards such Associations, and enable them to keep a nurse in each parish? If these paupers do not Jove one another they will all go to hell (laugh- ter). They go to the same chapel or church and pretend to worship the God of Love, yet they quarrel and detest each other. They are all can- didates for hell (laughter). Mr Evan Roberts: We have no right to force people to live together The Chairman: The whole of the Llanrwst district is only about three miles, while the one covered by the Pentrevoelas Association is over nine miles, 'a.nd mostly mountainous. It is our duty to support such an Association. The Chairman seconded the motion to grant & t Mr J. Be try: It is out qL all reason to grant Pentrevoelas the same sum! as Llanrwst. Tlie Chairman: We #e not here as the champions of Llanrwst alofiei represent, tho whofe U nion. | f R< v. J. lower: The rpesfion! toeTore to is "Har much'' (loud laughter). I I 11 1 Mr J. O. D. Jones: How far out of the town does the Llanrwst nurse cover? Mr J. Williams: The rural district. llev. J. Gower: All the other districts will want subscriptions, and we will have to give them the same amount. Rev. Henry Jones: Before they can apply to us, tl.ey must first collect from JC50 to £ 60. Rv. J. Gower: Who made that law? (loud laughter). Mr Hugh Hughes: We think of l>n:nv nu Association at Permiachno, but we would not expect to got an equal subscription to Llanrwst. The Chairman: I don't think Penmaehno should get as much at Pentrevoelas (laughter). Mr Hugh Hughes: The district covered by the Association is an exceptionally healthy one or else there would be a doctor residing there be fore now. But for fear there may bo a case of illness there in the dim and distant future I will support a subscription of £ 3 3s (laughter). It was ultimately decided by a substantial majority to subscribe S3 3s towards the Associa- tion. MEMORIAL TO KING EDWARD. The Chairman and the Vice-Chairman were tc appointed to represent the Board at the meeting of the King Edward Memorial Fund.

RHYL PETTY SESSIONS. Bevs BIRCHED. A DEGANWY TRAVELLER AND HIS RAILWAY TICKET. CHARGE of FALSE PRETENCES AGAINST A SERVANT GIRL. At the petty sessions on Tuesday, a juvenile court was fir.it he.d, presided over by Mr W. Ehvy iiaams, who W a*jcoii)",>aniixl on the Bonoh by Mr T. D. Jonas. BOYS BIRCHED. Two boys warned Charles Pickering, of Hope Place, and John Alorns Janets, WeUingtolft-roadj were charged with breaking inio the lock-up shop of Mr George Harrison, Bei'ord-str-e-et, Rhyl, on Suinday, October 30fch, arid stealing th-arefrom a quantity of rubber heels, laces, tins of boot polish, and slippers. Mr Harrison stated tii-at he saw that the shop was i>3cureiy locked on Sunday mo raring, but he was not certain whether the window was fastened. When ho went to the shop on Men- day he found that tho window and door had been opened, and tha,t a quantity of article* were niiaing. He gave information to tlie police, and hand-oil to them a boy's cap he found *in the shop. l'.C. Old field stated he and P.C. Da vies made inquiries, a«nd as a result of what two otiiCT boys toid him he arretted the defendants. They admitted getting over a wail, opening tihe win- dow, and then unfastening the door. Jonea left his ca.p in the shop after tJloC thmg-s were I taken. Tne Lade hid the property in the sands, and af.terwa.rcb pointed out the spot to the con- stables. It was explained by the parents of the oefen- cUnbj that the boys had been sent to Sunday School, and they did not bring anything home. The boy Jones stated that he lost his cap on the sands. Air Harrison said he did not wish to p<ra;s thq case, as he was sorry for the parents. It was ctated that Pickering had been pTevi- ously birched for stealing a shilling from a. child in the street, .and that Jones had been bound over for wilfully damaging flowers in the Marine Gardens. Addreering the boys, Mr Elwy Williams said he was surprised that they should have behaved as they had. done. As Pickering had been previcus- ly birched he would now receive six strokes with the birch rod, and as binding Over did not appear to do Jones much good, he would receive three strokes with a birch rod. Tho Bench hoped the punishment would have a benefici-al effect on ti;<l bovs, and it was better than tinin.g them, which would mean punishing their parenta. The ordinary court was then held, over which Mr Perks presided, and the magistrates preeenit were: Messra W. J. P. Storey, J. H. Ellis, W. Elwy Williams, J. B. Linneil, T. D. Jones, J. Frimston, E. B. Jones, C. F. Baiters, end H. W right. PROBATION OF OFFENDERS' ACT. The Chairman explained that Mr Hazlehurst had some time ago rat ed the question of the Bench considering the appointment of a probation officer for Rhyl, but since then Mr Hazlehurst had written a letter somewhat inodi- fving hid views. The Bemch had had a list of ca<:es which came under theAct supplied to them, and his own personal view was that Rhyl was too small, and the cases too few to warrant their ampoiiit'Ti# eucih an officer. He sug'ge.yted that the matter be adjourned sine die. This was agreed to. Mr Perks then vacated the chair, and Mr Elwy Williams presided. Mr Frimston ako retired whilo a case brought by the Sit- Asapih Board of Guardians was deiaJt Wlth A RHYL CAB DRIVER AND HIS CHILDREN. Jtfuttcs Turiey, a cab driver ill Rhyl, was charged with neglecting to comply with a magistrates' order under which ho was directed to pay the Guardians the sum of £ ± 10s and 8o ixxsts, L-o order being obtained im respect of the maintenance of his daughter by 1.be Guardians. Mr Grimsiley appeared for the flua.r^an.3, a.nd Mr T. Amos Jonms for the defendant. Mr Gritmsley ex:pdained that the order was made on August 30th, but all tihc defendant had paid 18s, or at the rate of 2s per week. The man wao in regular work, and at one time earned from 25s to 30s per week, but his earnings at present w-ere XI per week. He considered it a eiiume that the ratepayers should have to support the man's children, when many labouring men receiving .£1 per week had to keep a large family and also pay th-eir rates. Mr Amos Jones objected to Mr GrkrusZey giving second-hand evidence as to the man's means, and suggested that lie eihould have eununooied the defendant's employer to be poeeent to give evidence as to his wages. Mr Grimsley repJied that the defendant had admitted in his office that he received .£1 per week. Mr Amos Jones submitted that the case was on ail fours with a judgment summoes in the County Court, and there Judge Moss had refused to take second-hand evidence aB to means. In cross-examination, Mr GrknsJey denied that he knew that the man was only re- ceiving 15s per week during the ■winter. It was true that the Guardians refused to allow defendant oa- his wife to have the custody of the children far certain reasons. He was not aware that the Guardians had refused to low the children to go to a suitable home on the application of a Catholic priegt. He denied tin at the children were taken from the defendant because Oif kis temporary menta-l incapacity. He bad told the defendant that it would be better if he employed his money in a better way than spending it on Ile-gai proceedings. Mr Amos Jones: Do you object to a poor man having legal represcntation?—No, I ano not afraid of that. On his own admission, he has received JE1 per week together with tips. Witness toid defendant it was a great !>ity that he spent his money in paying for egal assistance, as lie had done on two or throe occasions, and that he did not ajpply it towards the maintenance of his children. Hc, rcpdicd "I am not paying for it." Mr Amos Jones: That is nice for me. He is not employing me. I am employed and instructed by someone elee. M,r Grimsiev A stranger, I cuppoce. Mr Amos Jones: There is someone more generous than the Guardians. Mr Grimsley: It is a pity the money is not applied to a better purpose. You ask for it, and now you have got it. Mr Amos Jones described the treatment meted out to the defendant by tihe Guardians as "inhuman," and argued that the County Court Judge in a like case would have made an order for aibo-ut 4.s per mon.t.h. The man only received 1518 per week, and out of that he had to keeip hunaelf. It was no crime for a man to keep himself respect able, even tho-ugh the Guardians might think so. The Dc«fen<lant gave evidence on his own behalf, and said he was now receiving 15s per week, out of which he paid 12s for his boaird and lodgings. He admitted that he had been in regular employment, aiid some- times received tips. A question arose as to whether the defend- ant's employer should not be called, but The Clerk ruled that the defendant had the right, as much as the Guardiams, to call his employer. Tihe Bench ordered defendant to pay 2s per week regularly, and if he did not ao «o he would be sent to prison for 21 davs. RATE CASES. Mir S. Perks then took the chair, amd Mr JVimetop returned to the Bench, whiae Messrs t. Limell, Wiigiht, ana. I eat in another r l court to decide a number of cases for non- payment of the RhyJ Uirfban District rate. TRANSFER OF LICENCE. On the applictton of Mr Joseph Lloyd, the Bench granted a transfer of the licence of th-e Abbey Vaults, Abbey-atree t, Rihyl from Mr George Gardener to Mr H. L. Ball, for- merly of Manchester. DEGANWY TRAVELLER FINED. John Henry Thomas, Marl View-ternaoe, Deganwy, was ahar-gved by Detective Sergeant Owem, of Chester, with travelling from Uaai- dudno Junction to Rhyl on September 24th without paying hie fa<re, and with intent to avoid payment ■thereof. Mr H. r. Tait, solicitor, Euston, who prose- cuted, stated that defendant alighted at Rhyl at 2.12 p.m., from the train leaving Llan- dudno Junction at 1.45 p.m. On passing through the exit he handed to Ticket-Collector Roberts a thirdnclass ticket from Llandudno Junction. Roberts noticed that there was wo date on the ticket, and asked defendant when he had booked. Defendant replied that he booked at 1.30 p.m. that day. He was also asked irf he had any other tickets in his pocket, and h-e replied that he had not. and taking it to the passage downstairs said she would send for it later on. No one came for tho box, and so Mr Bissett eventually had it placed in an outhouse. It appeared that the defendant went 'from Colwyn Bay by tram to Llandudno, and from there by steamer to Rhyl, where she was engaged for a month as a servant. On August 15th she wont to the Rhyl Station, and sa.id that on August 10th she had been a pas- senger from Colwyn Bay by the club train for London-road, Manchester. She stated further that she had had her box taken from the house and had seen it put into the train, labelled for London-rogd. She said she travelled from Col- wyn Bay, but alighted at Rhyl, her box going on by train. She requested that the station staff should get her box wurned to Rhyl, as she was staying there. The station staff communicated with London-road The Exchange, as well as w.ith other places, b no trace of the box coufd be found. On August 19th e defendant again called at the station, and said that the box con- tained aU tho h in the world, and that she had many nc.v things in the box. Eventually she gave a list of the articles in the box, and declared that she was sure the box was put in WOMEN FALL OUT. Margaret Evans, a married woman, of 140, Vale-road, charged Margaret Evans, single woman, 56, Victoria-road., with threatening her, and as defendant was willing, she was bound over for six months in B5. NEIGHBOURS' QUARREL. Margaret Jane Matthews, 186,, Vale-road, charged Hugh Jones, 182, Vale-road, with using abusive language. The evidence showed that there had been words because of the children of the parties, asid very bad language was used. Defendamt was fined 2s 6d and costs.

Defendant's name and address "were taken, and at 3.15, while the defendant was in the train going to Flint, he was again asked if ho had any other tickets in his pocket, and h:3 again answered that he had none. On October 3rd Detective Daw, of Llandudno Junction, saw the defendant on the matter, and asked for his explanation. Defendant then said he had booked at 3.20 from Llan- diudmo Junction, and that he paid Is 2d for his ticket. As a matter of fact., the fare was Is 2Jd. He also explained that the ticket he had handed over must have been in his pocket, and it was an old one, and that the ticket he had purchased on Sertember 24th must have been lost through a hole in his pocket. Defemdant said he would pay the fare again rather than have a bother, but that the detective refused to apt. He (Mr Tait) submitted that defendant had been guilty of an attempt to defraud the ooon- pany, as it was found that, not only was the ticket which w«i given up issued as far back as February 25th, but there were no tickets issued from Llandudno Junction to Rhyl on •September 24th between 11 a.m. and 4.15 p.m. Evidence was then given by T'icket-Col- lector Roberts, Detective Daw, and Mr Cart- wright, chief booking clerk at Llandiudao Junction, tho latter producing the train books in support of the company's ease. He added that the date on the ticket must have been ruHboo off, and one of the numbers on the other side was almost defaced. The Clerk Rubbed off by the friction in defendant's pocket from February 25th (laughter). Defendant pleaded that he had made a mistake. He had taken a ticket in February, r but never used it. He must have left it in an old waistcoat, and wore the same garment in September. At Llandudno Junction, on September 24th, he was worried about his Iruggage, and was also muddled by some whiskey he had had. lie tho-ught he had "booked," and when he arrived at Rhyl he put his hand im his pocket, and took out what he thought was that day's ticket. He did not know he had an old ticket in his pocket. Mr Elwy Williams: EVen if you were muddled with whiskey you found an old ticket ? Defendant: And I offered to pay the fare. Mr Elwy Wilikums: Yes, when you me found out. Defendant pleaded for leniency. He said he was formerly a manufacturer of sausage casings, but "the Conway Corporation ruined his business by stopping his works," and since then he had had to travel for other people. Trade was so bad that often all he took was taken up by travelling expenses, and he had a wife and four children to maintain. Replying to the Bench, Mr Tait said the com- pany would not press for more than the ordinary cost. What they wanted wa.s a conviction. The Chairman said the Bench would take a lenient view of the case after what Mr Tait had said. It was impossible for the railway to over- look a case cyf that sort, and defendant would be fined 5s and 10s costs, two weeks being allowed to pay, which was an unusual course for the Bench to take.

CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO DEFRAUD THE RAILWAY COMPANY. Jessie Eliza Jennings, domestic servant, of Borthin-terrace, Rhyl (formerly of Colwyn Bay), pleaded guilty to attempting to obtain £ 9s Is 5d from the London and North-Western Railway Company by false pretences on August 24th. Dctective-Sergt. Owen, Chester, had charge of the, case. Mr Tait, who prosecuted, said the case was a peculiar one. The defendant, who was about 25 years of age, was a native of Crewe, where her parents resided. For five or six weeks prior to August 10th she had been employed by Mrs Bissett, of Nithsdale, C-reonfield-road, Colwyn Bay, but on August 10th that lady had cau&e to send the girl away. The girl packed her box, Bay, but on August 10th that lady had cau&c to send the girl away. The girl packed her box, the train at Colwyn Bay, and was prepared to point out the porter who had charge of it. The defendant called almost daily at the Rhyl Station about the box, and said that she would have to put in a claim, as she had spent a lot of money in getting new things. The defendant was handed a lost luggage declaration form on August 24th, and she filled it up, signing it on the 25th of August. She claimed C9 Is 5d, and that form was duly sent to the Superintendent's Office, after which Detective-Sergeant Owen took lip the matter. lie saw defendant at Rhyl, and asked her if she was sure the answers and parti- culars she had given on th.) form were correct, and she said they were. She told Owen that she was anxious to get the box, as it contained all her belongings, and that she had neither home nor relatives. On October 11th Detective Owen went to Colwyn Bay, and saw Mrs Bissett, with whom defendant had been employed, and he there found the missing bov, which had never been out of the place. The contents of the box were exa- mined, and the articles it contained did not in any respect correspond with the list given by the defendant. On October 12th the defendant was seen in Blackpool, where she was tem- porarily employed, and she again told Detective Owen that she had seen the box put into the train at Colwyn Bay. She was then shown eel" tain articles taken from the box. She identified the articles, and asked where the box had been found. Owen told her she ought to know where she left it, and although told it was found at Mrs Bissett's, the defendant still said she could swear she saw it put into the Manchester train at Colwyn Bay. She aferwards admitted she did not take the box with her, and said she gave an outside porter 6d to fetch it to the sta- tion. She also admitted she bad not been a passenger by train and con 1 d not have sent it. After that defendant said she was sorry she had made a claim. 8111e. said. she was pursuaded by a person to db so, but she would not give that person's name. Mr Tait added. that the evidence shewed t' I-e oa&> was a bad on?, as defendant kinew the box bad never been to the station. Unfortunately, oaecs of that sort were rather frequent on the railway, and very dfficult to prove. The Railway Company was often victi- mised, and NN",ie.ri persona w-i-e found out they should be severely dealt with, so that it should be a lesson to others. Evidence was given by Defective Owen, and he added that defendant said she had a great deal more things in the box than he had claimed for. She also informed him that she alighte.d at Rhyl, andi the g-uard would not give her the box, saying that if it was labelled to London- road it would have to go to that station. He had told defendant that no i.eket was issued from Colwyn Bay to London Road by the train sihe said she travelled, and defendant then said she booked to Rhyl, and rebooked to Chester, but did not use the ticket, destroying it. When he said) he would go and see Mrs Bissett, defen- dant said it was no Use> going there, as Mrs Bis- setit had gone away. He went the next day and found Mrs Bissett at home. Detective Owen said he had the box and its contents in court. He did not know whether the Bench would like to see the things, but he advised them not to do eo (laughter). Mr W. EJwy Williams: Are they all new things as. defendant alleges ? Detective Owen: No. Mrs Biss^tfc was also called, and said that when no one came for the box she wrote to the defendant's parents at Crewe, and asked what she should do with the box. Aft she had no re- ply she placed it in an out-house. The box had an envelope on it addressed to London Rood, Manchester. Supt. Jones said the defendant had been be- fore the magistrates in Crewe charged with stealing a t,rading beok from the Co-operative Stores, but was bound over on promising to go to a home. She had also been sent to prison at Whitchurch for obtaining a pair of boots by false pretences, being sentenced to ten days' hard labour. The Chairman said the defendant had been guilty of a very serious offence in attempting to obtain money by xiiilk", g misrepresentations, and Ahe would have to go to prison for one month with hard labour.

CORRESPONDENCE.- OLD COLWYN AGRICULTURAL SHOW. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—Kindly allow me space to reply to the treasurer and secretary of the Old Colwyn Agri- cultural Society re balance-sheet, etc. I cannot do better than reply reriatim. I have yet to learn that, it is not the act of a gentleman to write to the public press anonymously. Circum- staasoes often justify it, and I maintain that in the present case it is amply justified. Tho trea- surer says the year of fhc society does not end unt:) December. Thxs is certainly a new depar- ture. I well rl-meanber the great cry of the pre- fent secretary for the product ion of the previous balance-siieet certainly long before December. When do other agricultural shows produce their balance-sheets ? Say, for instance, the Flint and Denbigh. If I mistake not their balance- sheet is already in t:ho hands 01 the members and subscribers. According to the press the balance- sheet of the Eisteddfod—rough or otherwise—is already out and the surpi-us allocated. Mr Rey- nolds says a rough balance-sheet of the society has been drawn out. I as a member, have not seen lit. I maintain that if the society is going to flourish—and I sincerely hope it will-inem- bers and subscribers ought to have the same privilege extended to them. My letter was not writtoea)i from spte. I have the best interest of the society at heart. Anyhow, my letter has brought out the fact that the society has a bal- ance in hand of £ 27 15s 3d. Last show had a balance of £ 35 17s 8d. By simple arithmetic this represents a lose on thiis year's show of £ 8 2s 5d. I am glad to learn that the committee have decided to call an early general meeting.—I am, etc., A MEMBER.

Sir,—As one of those present at the public meeting held here a fortnight ago, under the auspices of the above named Association, I, in common with others, felt that a much larger number of the ratepayers should have turned up- I would like to suggest a few thoughts for con- sideration, one or other of which may have ac- counted for the absence of so manv from the meeting; and I would do so by asking a few further questions. Was the meeting sufficiently advertised? Was it dear what, if any, were the practical purposes of the meeting? Were the Colwyn ratepayers satisfied that their interests would be promoted by the Colwyn Bay and District Ratepayers' Association? Whatever may bo the answers to the first two queries, there can be no question that Colwyn has its own special requirements, to the need of which only Colwyn ratepayers can be expected to be alive, Colwyn Bay is well cared for; and so is Rbos. This fact should rouse Colwyn to demand its rightful share of improvements at the hands of the Council. Colwyn wants b. t-Lor roads, better streets, better parapets, and it wants name- plates to indicate the streets. Colwyn wants more and better lighting. Colwyn representatives on the Counoil, I feel sure, can do much more for Colwyn rf the rate- payers will only wake up, and form an associa- tion of their own.—I am, etc., November 8th. R. O. HUGHES.

A neatly-dressed, superior-looking young man named Dennis Morgan, was charged at the in- stance of Deputy-Ch.ef Constable Rees with •obtaining money"under false pretences. It appeared that the defenckint had been, brought up in the custody of two warders from Lincoln Prison, where he is at present under- going a term of imprisonment on two other charges. The Deputy Chief Constable stated that on Aug'ust 3rd 1:aB year the accused called at the Royal Oak Hotel, Llandudno, and asked ior rooms He said his father had taken a big mjaiaon at St. Asaph, and he (accused) wanted to remain a4 the hotel for a few weeks pend-ivg the carrying out of certain structural alterafc.ons at the mansion It was arranged tha-t oocused should pay 30s a week for his board and ^o-dging.

Geoffrey Nield Whitehead, of Lane ley Bail- don, Yorks, pleaded not gndly to a charge of driving a motor car to the common danger on SoiTudav. October 2nd* ,,1 i 1 Mr J J. Marks (Messrs Maries and Marks, Llandudno), who appeared for the .police, ex- plained that the dieiendant was driving his^ car at a speed! dangerous to the public at 6.15 p.m. on Sunday, October 2nd, between Uld Coiwyn and Llvstaen on that part of the road generally known'as the PenmaenriAs-road, the esleyan. Church being situated in the immediate via-1^" ty. Comment was frequently mane that police officers' statements in motor cases were not backed up by the evidence of civilian witnesses, but in this case there would be no dearth ot independent evidence. However, one of the wit- nesses was a police officer, who was dressed in plain clothes on the --on in question, and tte would tell the Bench that, at the time referred to he saw the defendant s car Oasn.ng up iliIlU proceed in the direction of Lly&iaen. The car was proceeding at a very fast pace, and was undoubtedly a danger to the safety of the publio having JAI-tiou lar regard to the fact tha.t Uiere were mariv people in the roadway at the t-nie coming out irom Sunday Schools. The chheer shouted to the driver and held up his hand, but no notice was taken of him, the car proceeding on its way. There- was a notice warning motor- ists against speedy travelling on the road at that point David Owen Roberts and other witnesses would speak to being obl.gcd to jump to tile woii along the road sido un order to get out of the defendant's way, and it was really a miracle that somebody had not been knocked down by ^*P {jhjl€ Williams (29) gave evidence bearing out in part Mr Marks' statement. He described the car as "going at a very dangerous specd-in my opinion at over 35 miles an hour. there was no footpath along the thoroughfare at the spot wheio he saw the car, and there were many people about who had just left Sunday School. Cross-examined by Mr Hallmark: Tnougii the car was going up hill at the time he repeated that it was travelling at 35 miles an hour. He knew :it was a powerful car from its length. Mr Hallmark: So tiie longer the oar the greater the i>ower V Witness: You can tell whether a car is power- ful from t'he length of the engine. Wliat do you know of motor cars J. have been throug'h a few of them; I was a blacksnuth before 1 joined the force. t Witness added that there were about 100 people about the road at the time. David Owen Roberts, of Penmaemiios, said there were about 50 members attached to the Sunday School lie attended, and there were other schools, all ot tnein oreaKing up <I." imnai u™ game time. He was aOCCnllktJilcd by a boy named Dd. Pritchard when he saw the oar com- ing along at a great pace. He thought it was making straght for him; he jumped up against the wajl to avoid being run over, and the car even then nearly touched him. The car went at a ppeodier rate than any motor he had pre- viously sect. Dd. Pritchard ha.d to jump to the wall behind him. i 1 Cross-examined lie agreed with the previous witness that there were about 100 people about the road at the time. By the Besich: He did not hear the defendant sounding Ins motor horn. David Prichard, a lad, corroborated Roberts' evidience. Thomas Williams, another witness, said he saw one Ett!e girl experiencing a narrow escape from the car, and the driver looked back to see ■whether anything1 had happened. Cross examined: There were about 30 people in a short length of roaki outside the chapel which he attended. After Mr Hallmark had addressed the court for the defence, Jeffrey Whitehead said he drove at a slow pace over this particular part of the road,^ at the special request of his frienid, who was anxious to locate a house in the vicinity at which he used to stay whle holiday-making at Old Colwyn. He saw no one jump out of his way, and he denied that there was anyone in danger at any time, though therc- were some children on the roadway at the bottom of the hill. He had never seen the man Owen before. He had travelled 6000 mileS in motor oars, and had himself driven oars lor two years, but had never previously been in ♦•roulpJe. J. H. Hoffman sa £ d he travelled with the do- 4.1.. > I oi 4 fendoni on the day in question, and he oom firmed what the defendant said. He had motor- ed for years, and he declared that t' h e speed a.t which the oar went up the hill was never more than 15 miles an hour. Witness was 1000king back the whole of the wat-v up the h Ii in order to locate the h<xi £ « he formerly stayed at. Tho Bench imposed a fine of £ 5 and costs, which, including advocate's foe and witnesses* expenses, totalled L7 1& fed. A BOATMAN'S PROTEST. Owen Owens. boatman, Lower G-ste-streat, Conway, did not appoar to answer a charge of breaking- the Towsi Council's bye-laws. Mr Thornton Jones (Boitgor), who appeared for the Corpcrat on, said the defendant \Va.&- charged with neglecting to paint the number and name of his boat in accordance with the bye- laws. The defendant appeared to have a griev- ance because painters and others not engaged re- gularly in the boating1 and fishing busirx.is were allowed licences by the Corporation to pi'y for hire and by way of protest ho refused to com- ply witJi the bye-laws. Boat Inspector Williams, having given formal evidence, Owens was fined Is and costs. -=-
