Ait Menai Bridge Police Court on Monday, be- fore Mr Herbert Williams and other matgiatiraltoes, John Thomas, California. Inn, Llanfair M.E., was charged under the Defenoo of the Ba.alm Act with selling a bottle of stoUJt alflter 8 p.m. and with accepting an order for spirits after 2.30 p.m. Ellen Jones, Gloddfa Badh, L/lariougrud, was aflso charged with purchasing stouit aft-er 8 p.m. and with taking- spirits from a licensed ivoiuee. after 2.30 p.m. Mr T. R. Bvana, Holyhetad, /prosecuted, and Mr Thornton Jones defended. Rev. T. O. Jones, Arwel, Tynygonigfl, Non- conformist minister, a special (constable, said he saw Mrs Ellen Jones coming from the back yard of the California Inn at 8.20 p.m. with a ba,g- in her hand. Ho had a conversation with the woman about her sick child. She said $ê had some whisky for the h,,d and that she had purchased it at the California, Inn. Witness asked what she had in the bag and she showed tibireo bottles—whisky in one, brarlcly in another, and witness believed there was beer in the third. Witness went with Mrs Jones to the licences, who, at his request, prod uced the delivery 'book which must be kept. under the Defenceof the Realm Rcffuktioms. Witness then charged the liceucee with hre-aking the law, and he expressed regret. He offered to return the money to Mrs Jones and take the bottles back. CrosB-examined by Mr Thornton Jones, witness said his suspicions were ar-olus-od by the bag which Mrs Jones was carrying. He did not sug- gest that Mrs Jonas shoufld return the bottles to the liccncee. He had not gone under any in- struction as a special constable. He knew the liooncee was a man of good dbaraoter. He did not report the case at the time. Mr Thornton Jones: Was there any doubt in tho case?—None. Why did you not report the case ?-Beoause I did not want to punish him. I was not sure what to do at, t,lic, time because it was the first offence I had discovered. Did you make any report ?—Yes. How long after me event ?—Three weeks or so. I promised Mr Thomas that I would not proceed with the matter. There was no compulsion upon you to promise? -N one at all. Have you come reluotawtJy to-da.y ?—Yea iin a way. Because you exercised your discrotion that mgihit? Yes, I finished with it that night. Mr T. R. Evans: What made you think of promi. sing?—I thought I wouiid rather make a mistake on that side tham on the other side with a neighbour. Mr Evans: It was not a proper thing for a Tcci,)l constaMe to promise anyone not to report the cMe to a superior officer. Mr Thornton Jones: They can disrate him or stop his leavo for that (laughter). Inspector H. Williams stated that the licences admitted to him having sold to Mns Jones whisky and stout a few minutes after 8 p.m., and a-ddea that he wmld not have served her, had she not st.altoo that her child waa ill. He next saw Mrs Jones, who said slue was not quite sum of the time sho waa at the inn. Questioned by Mr Thornton Jones, witness said I tho staitement that he obtained from Mrs Jones was signed by her.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. I AGRICULTURAL ORGANISATION J SOCIETY.. J OFFER OF 9500 TO ENDOWMENT FUND. 1 (To the Editor.) I Sir,—The need for t;he reconstruction and de- velopment of British agriculture after the war is admittedly so urgent that the Agricultural Organisation Society, which should play a large and important part in this connection, desires to appeal beforehand for subscriptions towards a permanent endowment fund. The society exists for the establishment of co-operation in agricul- ture. The practical application of this prin- ciple takes many forms, and, as Lord Selborne said in his speech at its recent annual meeting, the society's organisation covers the whole field of purchase, sale, tramport, business credit, science and education." Captain Charles Bathurst, M.P., has made a generous offer to contribute S500 to an endow- ment fund for the A.O.S. on the day that peace is signed, if, but only if, nineteen others in the meantime will give their definite promise to do the same. It is important that the benefit of this offer should not be lost to the society, as it will be unless the. condition attached to it is fulfilled. We are asking you, therefore, to give it publicity in the confident hope that the neces- sary subscribers will come forward. In oase any subscriber wishes to give his contribution in commemoration of some friend or relative who ha.s fallen in the war, the society will make suit- able arrangements for meeting his wishes. Subscriptions should be sent to the General Secretary, Agricultural Orga-nisation Society, Queen Anne's Chambers, Westminster, S.W., from whom full information as to the society's work may be obtained.—Yours, etc., R. A. YERBURGH, President. I SAMUEL BOSTOCK, Chairman. I

illAItKET LBICES. I BOARD OF AGRICULTURE'S RETURN. 1 The Board of Agriculture, in their return of market prices for the week ending September 27til, stabes:- Reports from several markets refer to the large number of half-finished cattle now being shown, the reason attributed being the high prices of all feeding stuffs, which makes farmers feel inclined to sell their cattle now off the grass rather than incur the risk of keeping them on for the winter. This seems to be borne out by the large number of fat cattle now on offer, the total num- ber at the markets included in the Return being 12,627, against 12,019 last week, and an aver- age of 11,895 in the corresponding weeks of the three previous years, while the total number of cattle offered since the beginning of the year amounts to 477,808, against an average of 450,335 in the previous thre-e years. Trade this week has been decidedly easier; the best quality cattle have in some places maintained their prioe, but infe,rior sorts have been in poor demand. Prioes generally are lower, the best quality beasts on the average marking a fall of Id and inferior 2d per stone. Sheep do not show much change in price, the chief variations being at Norwioh, where they advanced 4d, and at Nottingham and Wellington (Salop), where they declined ld per lb. the average rate over all markets remains, however, much the same as last week, the tendtmcy being to slightly lower values. Lambs are reported as cheaper at several markets, the fall in price ranging from id to lgd per lb., while the average rate is now 13id per lb. for the beat quality, against 14d last week. Pigs have fully maintained recent high rates; at Birmingham, where 3641 was on offer during the week, prices remained unchanged, while at Manchester the demand was good at slightly higher ratea. Store cattle of the best quality and in good forward condition sold fairly well at the Shrews- bury special sale on Friday, but the reporter states that otherwise trade was slow and a good many lots failed to get sold. At Northampton and York there was a rather better enquiry; at the former place young cattle sold fairly well, while at York three-year-old bullocks were in request, several lots of this class being purchased at prices ranging from £26 to JB30 per head.

I FARM WORKERS. I CALLING-UP PAPERS TO BE CANCELLED. At the Preston Tribunal Colonel Jolly, mili- tary representative, read the following telegram from the. War Office:- Cancel all calling-up papers issued to men employed in agriculture, dairy farming, mar- ket gardening, and small holdings. No men so employed are to be called up pending further instructions.

I FARM NOTES. At a public meeting on Clapham-Common, on Sunday, appeals were made to the audience to boycott the "sixpenny" milkman for a week, with the view of reducing the price of milk to a general rate of 5d a quart. At Bedford Corn Market, on Saturday, wheat made 63s a quarter, an increase of Is. At New- castle there was a rise from Is to, 2s. By cultivating garden plots in their spare time, Belfast workmen have during the past year added between £ 12,COO and £14,000 worth of vegetables to the food supply of the city. The Wrexham Dairymen's Association have given notice of their intention to raise the price of milk from 4d to 5d per quai. Willesden Council is taking over a considerable tract of land to meet the increasing demand for small hoiding3.

During the period from November 29th, 1915, to July let, 1916, 4454 cases were heard by Muni- tiona Tribunal, 130 being complaints against em- ployers. The defendants numbered 13,164. and the convictions 9315, the total fines imposed being £9417 09 8d. Sinoe the Tribunals began there have been 5354 cases, 16,930 defendants, 11,794 oonvictions, and 211,944 6t Bd has been paid in

STOCK SALES. I MESSRS I JOHN PRITCHARD ë", CO. I AllER PRIZE SHEEP SALE.. j Messrs John Pritchard and Co. held their 3rd annual show and sale of Welsh ewes at Aber on Saturday, when there was an entry of close upon 2,000, in ad- dition to store cattle. It was the unaiumous opinion of all present that a better class of Wo-sh sheep had never been seen together to beat the entry which faced the public on this occasion. Mr Roberts, (Jlasinfryn, was the adjudicator, and for the best 20 local bred ewes-Mrs lmis, Wig, and Mr H. O. Ellis. Ty'nheridre, were equal firsts with two exceptionally good pens. Although the conditions of sale provided for three entries in the wether sec- tiou there were only two forwarded, and being so ex- ceptionally good the auctioneers decided to share the money in this class also bet.ween Mrs Jones, Glyn, and Mr Pritchard, Gwaengwiail. A prize of tl i%-as also offered for the best three store cattle, but the entry was not large enough to award it, there being only two vendors and both lots unsold. The company, although a small one, perhaps owing to it being a Saturday and inconvenient for some to attend, was a business one, and a good selling trade ruled, every lot being cleared with the exception of three pens. It being Llanfairfschan fair day a good few sil* customers turned up towards the end of t the sale, who soon put new life into things and made a good finish. The railway company are to be con- gratulated upon their enterprise in arranging for the quick despatch of the sheep by rail from Aber, a special train leaving for Anglesey immediately the sale was over. The following were the vendors and pricesMrs EUis, Wig (60), 3Bs 6d, 37s 3d, and 35s 3d; The Col- lego Farm (155), 34s to 37s 6d; Mr H. 0. Ellis, Ty n hendre, 32s to 35s; Mr Wm. Ellis, Chwillan, 30s; Mr J. E. Jones, Pcnybryn (60), 30s to 33s 6d; Mr T. Roberts, Maesygroes, 34s 6d: Mr J. E. Jones, Erddreiniog, penned from 500 to 600 excellent. Welsh ewes from Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire, which were nearly all sold at prices ranging from 32s to 34s 6d for the best, and from 25s to 31s for smaller ewes. W*>1K1I wethers made from 32s to 38s (Mrs Jones. Glyni. WELSH PONY FOR INDIA. I Messrs John Pritchard and (Jo. have been successful in selling "Hopper Derry Dando," bred by Miss Lort, at a high price to go to India. This is the third pony bred by Miss Lort at Castell Mai which she has sold to go to India, including "State Ball" and "Rufus. We understand that the pony is bamg shipped from Birkenhead per s.s. Castalia. on Thursday, October 5th, the buyer being Lieut.-Colonel Peacock, Hereford- shire.

LLANERCHYMEDD HORSE SALE. I H A FAIR SHOW AND LARGE ATTENDANCE. I iuossrs John J'ritcnaro ana (Jo. held their first show and sale of worked horses, cart colts and foals at this centre on Wednesday, in conjunction with their usual monthly sale of fat and store cattle and sheep and lambs. There was an entry of 65 good class Welsh breeding ewes, and about forty store cattle, in addi- tion to 63 heavy and light, horses, cart colts and foals. There was a large company of interested spectators, but there were few good English buyers present, and even if they had been very few more horses would have exchanged hands, as the owners' expectations were far too high for saies to be effected, which is against vendors' interests. However, taking all things into consideration, and the fact of it being a new venture in this district, a fairly satisfactory sale is recorded. Foals made a very creditable display, and were mostly all sold, and the auctioneers have been requested to hold another sale for foals on October 18th, the next fair day, which they have de- cided to do. The judges were Messrs T. H. Vaughan, Sound, Cheshine, and Mr Davics, Wellington, Salop, who made the following awards:—Bc.->t two year old filly and gelding: 1, Mr Rd. Jones, Rhydybadell, with a weighty, good-coloured gelding, which looked like furnishing out into a good gelding. Best foal: 1, Mr Evan Thomas, Bryn Egiwys, with a beautiful filly foal by "Colney Minstrel." Best prices Two year old geldings were bona fide bid to 56gns. (for the first prize winners from Rnydy- badell); harness horses were bid to 43gns., for a nice going bay mare from Mr Robert Price, Felin Rhos; cart foals ranged from 25gns. to 32gns. for the first prize filly foal from Mr Evan Thomas, Bryn Egiwys.

MESSRS W. DEW 6- SON AND R. ARTHUR I JONES. LLANRWST SMITHFIELD. I A brisk sale is reported by Messrs Wm. Dew and Son and R. Arthur Jones to have been experienced at this Smithfield on Wednesday. Fat cattle were not equal to the demand. A good supply of stores sold freely in bunches of threes and fours. Fat lambs and ewes met with a ready market and all cleared, the former selling up to 39s 6d, the latter to 37s 6d. and wethers to 39s. Breeding ewes also sold well and all without exception were disposed of. One bunch from Mrs Williams, of Ce.rrniogmr> ,r, went to fin Angle- sey buyer at 31s 6d. Other sales: Mr Hugh Davies, Berthlwyd, four pens, up to 35s; Mr Roberts, Coed Mawr, 361:1 6d. Store lambs realised up to 22s. For good dairy cows there was very keen competition, and all cleared up to C33 17s 6d. Next sales take place at Llancrchymedd, Monday, October 9th, and Conway, Wednesday, October 11th.

I MESSRS ROBERT AND ROGERS I JONES. I WELSH EWE SALE AT TALYCAFN. I Messrs Robert and Rogers Jones conducted one of the most attractive sales of mountain ewes of the season at tho Talycafn mart. on Friday, when the hest draft of breeding ewes drawn from the Carnar- vonshire hills overlooking the Conway Valley seen on offer for many a day were placed in the market. The sale yard was packed to its utmost limit, upwards of 1800 fine sheep being penned. It was freely comment- ed that a better selection of mountain ewes could not be found in any district in Wales, all being strong, healthy, and hardy animals, and possessing plenty of size and weight. Their reputation for lamb rearing is also beyond question, hence their popularity. The sale naturally drew a large company of eager buyers from all parts, and competition was keen to secure the best lots. 51s was paid for one pen, and several other pens made easily up to 50s. These prices may be considered a record for Welsh ewes drafted driect from the hills. The following were among the sellers: —Messrs R. Ellis, Brynpin (80 ewes), up to 51s; Hugh Davies, Gorswen (20), up to 50s; Richard Tho- mas, Garthmeiliog (15), up to 43s; David Williams, Ardda (70), up to 43s; Samuel Roberts, Bryngwenith (30), up to 42s; H.

I LLANGEFNI. At their Smithfield in Llangefni on Monday Messrs R-obert and Rogers Jones offered for sale 120 fat cattle, 750 lambs and sheep, and 30 pedigree South- down ewes. Good cattle sold well, but trade in sheep and lambs was easier, owing to the indifferent quality of the stock on offer. There was, however, a good clearance. Beef made up to 55s per cwt. The following were the principal vendors and prices:— Fat cattle: Mr O. J. Jones, Rhos Bach, heifers, up to C19 12s 6d; Mr W.

amateur. One oould not blame these gentlemen, because they were doing their best according to their lights, but it could not be expected that duties at such a delicate desoription couid be pro- perly discharged by a minister of the Gospefl. The lioencee gave evidence that Mrs Jones called at "the inn shortly before 8 o'clock and asked for sixpenny worth of brandy. He sa.id he could not serve her, whereupon she explained that her child was ill. He then allowed her to have the brandy and a bottle off stout, but no whisky was sold. The Rev. T. O. Jones, who called in at the inn with Mrs Jones said that so far as ho was concerned the whole thing was dropped. By Mr Jvvana: Ho so-ld the spirits at that hour because it was a oase of emergency. Mrs Ellon Jones gave evidence that it was before 8 o'olodk when she waa at the inn. The brandy was for her siok child. She a state- ment to the polioe and waa very upset by their visit. Mr Evans was cross-examining the witness as to the statement she mad e to the police, and she replied that as she was upset she really did not know what she said. Mr Burton: No dooilbt she was flurried-Awo police ofEc-ore to one woman. I don't know what I might have said myself under suioh circum- stances. Mr Evans: Then it is no use proceeding with the case. Mr Burton: There are other points in it. The easeiJ against Mrs Jones were dismissed with a caution. The charge ajgainst the lioenoee for selling spirits after 2.30 p.m. was found proved and he was fined 103, while the charge of selling stout after hours was dismissed. In answer to Mr Thornton Jones ,it was stated that the liomoo would not be endorsed.
