BABY LEFT ON A DOORSTEP I —— 4 —— STRANGE HOOTON CASE. I I A sequel to the finding of a baby in a dress basket en a doorstep at Hooton was heard at the Birkenhead County Police Court on Mon- day, when Emma Ellen Bunnell, aged forty- two. was charged with deserting a baby on the 14th instant at Hooton. Mr. A. F. Moore ap- peared for the defendant.—A hc-uaemaid at Trie Oia\vti;orn--s, Hooton, stated that on the evening named she went to tho door to answer the bell. On doing so she found a drcsj. basket lying on the step Becoming alarmed s he shut the door again and telephoned for the police, leaving the basket where it was.—Mrs. Emily Woods, a resident of Ellefcinere Port, said that on October 14 ahe travelbd in a train to Hoo- ton. In the compartment were five persons, 7, cluding a poison whom she leoognised as tho defendant, who had a dross basket on her knee. A child's cry came from the basket. Witness alighted at Hooton, ao did the defendant. She carried the strapped basket at her side in the ordinary way. Sergeant Breese said ho went to The Craw- thornes and there found the basket produced containing a living mal-ü child. It was warm und well wrapped up. Ho took it into th. hou.-je, whv-re he found a note fastened to the child's cape. There was a medicine bottle con- 1 taining warm milk which had been used as a feeding lottI) He sent t.i-- chi!d to Clatter- brklge Workhouse On the 16th instant lie ar- rested the defendant, who was the district, nurae, at her rosid-^rioe, M-iifield-terrace, Little Sutton. In reply to th-e charge the defendant said "I did not think the child would take any harm, as I was expecting Mrs. Porter to ring m.e up as a district nurse to take charge of the child at once." In answer to Mr. Moore the sergeant al<i the defendant was spoken of very wiell in the district, and he personally had en- tertained a high opinion of her. Mr. Mooro said he had no defence to make. Defendant was forty-two years of age, and for eleven years had been the district; nur&3 for the Little Sutton and District. Nursing Society. This was a society tho committee or which con- sists of the leading ladies in the neighbourhood, and of which MM. Porter was honorary eecre tary. Bunnell had no relatives. Up to the age of forty-one she had lived a most virtuous and proper life, but, unfortunately, had then gene astray and given birth to this child. Having no relatives, -be did not confide in the ladies, many of whom would have helped her. In Sep- tember she !ook her month's holiday, and went to the houce of a stranger in E600X where her confinement took place on September 27. She could easily have mad e arrangements for this child to be put out to nurse, but her idea was that if .she brought the child back and did as ehe did. she eouJd eventually get it into her own hands. She took the child back, and her plan was only frustrated by the absence of Mre. Porter f rom home. Evidienoe of defendant's previous excellent character wae given by the Rov. Percy Douglas, Dr. Nott. and Mrs. Porter. The latter said that if she had been at home she would have found a home for the child and not permitted it io go to the workhouse. The ladies on the committee of the society were will- ing to help her and to try to start her on a fresh footing elsewhere. She was fined £ 3 and coste.

Barkers' band supplied the music. ST. MARK'S CHURCH. --For some time it has been felt that St. Mark's Church required considerable restoration. It has been d-ecided to try and raise JE550. A sum of J650 has al- ready been subscribed, and Mr. Edward B!ano has kindly offered to re-tile tha chaxicel at his own expen<»e. Subscriptions, however small, will bo thankfully received by Messrs. T. J. Renty and Edwt>»d Williams. MISSING CRIMEAN VETERAN.—Despite that dragging oparations have been carriod on in the river Doe at Shotton and Connah's Quay, no traoe of 'he Crimean v-tcran, Ryan, w hose hat and atick wore found on the river bank last wek, have been found. Ho promised tove an address to the children of St. Ethol- wold's school on Monday, on his reminiscences of Balaclava, and groat disappointment was "elt by the children, to whom ho was well- known on acoount of his war stories. Mr. T. H. Haswell (headmaster) took Mr. Ryan'e place. A RUNAWAY.—On Saturday evening a ho, belonging to a Chester hawker, took j fright at the top of Golftyn Hill and galloped ar. a fearful rate through the Quay and Shotton, scattering people right and left. All attempts to stop the animal proved fruitless. A man and boy who were in the cart were thrown out, but luckily escaped with a severe shaking. P.C. Toale followed the horse in a convcyanco, and found it had been stopped between Sandycroft and Mold Junction.—While Dr. A. Whit to: no. was driving his mctor-car up St. Mark's Hill on Tuesday morning he drove his car on to th.. high kerb in trying to avoid a dog, and .rP.a -h(,cl one of his front wheels. The car was eventually towed up the hill. INCREASED POSTAL FACILITIES.— Ow- ing to the great increase in the population of Shotton, due, no doubt., to the fact that Messrs. Summers have transferred the major portion of i' eir clerical staff from Stalybridgo to Shotton, tho postal authorities have found it expedient to havo several extra despatch?-.} to cope with ■ho increased demand. Letters can now be posted at Shotton up to 9.45 a.m., 12.40. 6.30, nnd 9.30 p.m. Three coli-?ctions a day are also taken up from Hawardon Bridge Works, and 'he mail bags are sent, forward to Chester bv the London and North-Western Railway. Three yean ago the inhabitants of Shotton had no dslivcrey from Saturday to Monday, but now I hcre are prospects of gettinsr three deliveries. RESCUE BY AN ANGLER. Th.? H-awardon Bridge Angling Soci-'tv held their annual outing on Scnday, Farndon being the selected venue. Twenty-twe members made thi journey in beautiful weather The party lunched at the Greyhound Hotel. During the afternoon Messrs. T. Patron and W. Davios were directly instrumental in saving the life of a youth [ amed Thomas Garrard Simmons. On the re- turn of the boat, in which Messrs. Patten and Davios had been for a row on the river, Sim- mons ran down an incline leading to the water's edge to save the small craft bumping, but ho ran so fast that he found it impossible to avoid dar-hing into the water. The inevit- able took plaoe, and the youth struggled about in 18 or 20 feet of water. The boat had, by this time, luckily reached Iho scene, when Mr. Patten succeeded in lifting the youth out of the water into the boat, and, with the help of Mr. Davios, restored consciousness. P.S. E.— Tho Saturday evening concerts, or- ganised by the Rov. E. Griffiths and othonj, and hekl in the Drill Hall, continue to attract h,,rge audiences, and are highly popular. The pro- gramme issued week after week is very eagerly looked forward to, and so long as the local and other talent provided is of the same standard of excellence as that already o+ cured, t!:{,;0 fon- certs will always be well aptroniocd. The prices are within the reach of every body, and so long ad they cover expenses, such as the cost of printing, hire of tho hall, and neccssary inci- dentals, they will be carried on. The manage- t-icnt id entirely voluntary, and Mr. Griffiths and his co-workers are to b-3 congratulated on their unqualified sucoces so far.—Another oon- osrt 0; the series took place last Saturd.a.y night and the hall was crowded as usual. The accom- panist was Miss Jennie Taylor, and the pro- gramme included songs by Miffi Dorothy Grif- fiths, Mr. Latham P.'irry, Mr. J. O. Edwards, and Mis= Eva Vauehan violin selections by Mr. D. Williams, of Northop: ventriloquial sketches and conjuring by Mr. Will Morris, of Chester; and handball ringing by Mr. W. C. Fletcher, of Chester. PUBLIC LIGHTING.—A publio meeting of the parochial electors in tho Shotton lighting area, under the jurisdiction of the Hawarden Parish Council, was held in St. Ethelwold's Schools, Shotton, on Friday evening. Mr. S. Vickers presided. The Clerk (Mr. T. H. Has- well) explain-e d that tho object of the meeting was the voting of a sum of money for public light- ing for the soison 1908-9. He .said the money voted last year had been, with the exception of 4s 5d., expmdod, and when one or two little items had beon paid they would have nothing in hand; J614. 16s. had been paid off on loans. Last year £ 18 was owing on the first mort- gage, but each year they would diminish that amount. A sum of f55 had been expended on gas, and there was a genoml feBling that more light was required, especially in Shotton-lane, where thav had only four oil lamps, which ere! them 3s. per week. The Connah's Quay Gas Co. 'had b?on asked to carry their gas main up this lane, Lut they wanted JC20, which, to his mind, was far too much, because the main would never belong to rhe ratepayers. Thy were the pioneers of the lighting in that dis- trict, and it was outrageous for a public com- pany to want so much.—Mr. J. V. Harrk. vigorously protested against paying the Gas Co. such an exorbitant price. He thought a corporation ought to be formed to carry out tho lighting of the district. There ought to be at least five extra lamps in Shotton-larie.-Thr Clerk said there was nothing to prevent them from consulting legal opinion.—After discus- sion, it was reso!ved that tho clerk should re- quest the Gas Company to carry the main up the lane. Failing a satisfactory reply, they should seek legal advice on tho matter.—Mr. J. V. Harris thought the lamps leading to the Ironworks should be left lighted all night for the safety of men going to and coming from the w-orks.-The Clerk thought that if house- holders up the lane could be induced to take the gas into their houses it might have some effeot on tho oompany.—Mr. Jones was asked to canvass those people who might take the gas.- Mr. Miller did not think tenants of small cot taglts would take the gas.—The Clerk thought if they could got the main up the lano thoy could put up five or six extra lamps. —It was eventually agreed to grant £ 65 to cover the wt of lighting, including the oil lamps. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Ckrk oon- cluded the business.—Eleven new incandescent Windsor lamps have been set up between the London and North-Western Railway station and Hawarden Bridge. The entire expense of laying mains, providing lamps, etc., has been defrayed by Messrs. Summers, of Hawardon Bridge, but the cost of lighting and upkeep will have to be born.) by the Parish Council. The whole of the arrangements have be<:n carried out by Mr. T. H. Harwell (clerk to the Joint Committee). CONGREGATIONAL SOCIETY. Tho members of the Rivertown Congregational Church Christian Endeavour Society held their ooventh anniversaiy on Sundav, and it proved a great sucoeiss. On 'Saturday evening an "At home" was held in the schoolroom, where a most enjoyable time was spent. The Rev. Jçe. and Mrs. Davies acted as host and hortcAA. Tho room was gaily and artistic-ally decorated with flowers, bunting, etc., with tables laid here and there around the room. the whole presenting the appearance of a palatial dining-room. The proceedings were opened br hymn and prayer, following which the Rev. Joseph Davie#- gave a brief and interesting review of the early history of the church (of which he had the honour of being the founder) In those days, he said. this church was the only building, with the ox oeption of a little thatched cottage, between the station und Wvprc Bridge, but changes had t4, ken place. From the few children which then constituted the congregation, the church had grown to the large company which he raw before him.—Then followod an interesting pro gramme of vacal and ir?trum?nta! music: Song, "Kilarnev," Miss Tilloy Knowies; man- dQline solo, "Canadian Voluntc^ro," Miss Mag- gie Parkinson song, fit for Tat," Mies Rose Nichclls; guessing competition, which evoked mnch laughter. At this juncture tea and re- freshments were served and when full justice had been done to the good things provided, the programme continued Song, "Tho sailor's grave." Mr. J.

A short address followed, in which the Bishop particularly emphasised the fact that no gi-aves should be allowed near the foundations of tho building. It was quite natural that people would wish to rest under the shadow of tho churoh. but it had been de- monstrated that such interments were a source of danger to the fabric of tho church. After singing "Brief life is hoie our portion," the prayer of consoc-ral ion was offered, followed by the other prayers, after which all joined ir singing "Let Saints on earth."

In the course of an eloquent ad-dr&s, Mr. Powtanoo referred to the continued staunch and unswerving allegiance to the noble work of the Biblo Society. He thought tho reading of the Bibl-e at home in Cheshire and Lancashire wa-i not quite so enthusiastic as of old, and one missed in churches nowadays the rustling of leaves when a ckrgyrnan quoted a portion of Scripture. Were an examination to be given in Holy Scripture to the upper edu- cated closes of people many would be found cadly lacking in knowledge of simple rudimen- tary facts. He urged upon them the caroful study of "The Book," which could not bo ap- proached by our finest fiteratu?. (Applause.) Ho congratulated th0 Neston district upon its ahan In <h? n?bt? wo-k of the Bib!o Society, and, referring to the a??noe of the president, Gaid they knew that it was to a great extent ow- ling- to his devoted services to the State.—Mr. John Owens (Che-"t) followed with an interest- ing address, fcr which !U3 p,?raonal !.now)<?}?e of the details of foreign mission work well fitted him. The immon-io difficiiltier, encoun- tered and overcome by missionaries travelling through lonely tracts o' country abroad to die- tribute Bibles in the native tongue were de- scribed.—Mr. J. O. Honghton gave an able description of the Society's work gencrallv.— Colonel Lloyd, who remarked that he bad been present at every meeting of this society in Nes- ton, moved a vote of thanks to the Ohairman for his admirable management of the proceed- ings, and Mr. J.

McLoavy in the chair- While re/erring to .1 question of overhauling the electrical machinery, Mr. (jr. J. Townsend said 'h^-re was a wiro extending from the en- gine-house to the nurses' home and hospital which was practic-illy a live one, and if it fell he trembled as to what would happen. How it was possible for anyone who held a contract for tho work to allow it to be done in that manner waii beyond his coir.prehen.sk n. As chairman of the General Purposes Committee he could not accept the responsibility of tho matter, and lie asked t he Board. to pass a resolution on the subjtct. He road the engineer's report, which shewed that the plant had been inspected and tho live wire pointed out. The wire was a sstrandc-d bare copper cable. and several of the strands had been broken If the wire fell and touched anvono it would do a serious matter. Mr. T Davies proposed that the architect (Mr. Davies) should go into the provisions of the tender, and see if the work had boon car- ried out according to tender if not to obtain an explanation from the contractors.-Thit; was agieod to. On the ouggestion of Mr. Hazlehuret, it was decided that if tho work was aocording to tender a new covered cable should be purchased and erected iramcd lately. Mr. Townsend road a Pross report of the meeting of the Cheshire Education Commit- tee'•> mooting at Crewe, at which the estimates for the year WN) produced and shewed an in craase on higher education accounts of £ 2,010, tn elementary education £ 3,900, the estimated deficit for the year which was equivalent to a 9d. rate, or a penny more than last year. Ho moved a i,-soliit 'on of protest against the :62,rM for higher education, be- cause the committee had £ 20,000 placed in the reserve fund; also that the resolution ohould be sent to the County Council, although he knew it would be of very little use. Mr. Hazlehuret seconded, and the motion was carried. An application was made by the master and matron for an increase of salary. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee.

I CONNAHS QUAY & SHOTTON I I LOCAL QUESTIONS. I Mr. Walter Reney passed his resolution at the last Urban Council meeting, with reference to tho throwing of papers and vegetable matter i nd other rubbish on the roads and streets, as well as dealing with other nui-sances. It is curious that this su b ject has been persistently norca by the Council, notwithstanding that three years ago Th,3 Flintshire County Council issued b/o laws to jireeisely the same effect, which by speeial resolution had been made ap- plicable to the Quay, but which the Urban Council would not adopt. Iso explanation was ever given/ and it is probably too late to ask why now. The Ion-, continued depression in local trade is a factor which, of course, cannot be pre- vented. But bye-laws in force in other places far larger and more important than the Quay aro existing which protect the general interests of the shopkeepers, and these ought to have tha first claim on the consideration cf the Council. Hawkers of all descriptions, as has boon repeatedly pointed out in this column, could be io dealt with-as to cause a minimum of injury to the shopkeepers. It cannot be denied that the rates here are very high com- pared with other plates, and these have been increased by the recent valuation imposition. There can be no more convincing argument than tho "act that the enormous number (122) of a.ppe.aJs against the now a-f^sessnrent were mainly by shopkeepers, who, feeling the pinch of very hard times-, had no alternative in eelf-defence. The fact that on the production of the neces- sary evidence tho assessment of most of the ap- plicants was considerably reduced emphasises the injustice of any higher assessment, as well as proving that general local knowledge for tho purpose of dealing with suoh matters is more reasonable and just than all the expert foreign Knowledge from whatever source obtained. These are good reasons why the ahepkoopera should have special consideration in the pro- posed by:) lawb. It is on the whole pleasing to see our Urban Council at last moving in the right direction, as they have evidently made up their mincb to tackle the grievanoes which existed as strongly nearly three years ago, when they were re- turned, as they -lo row. They are to be oon- gratulated upon the outcome of their delibera- tions as regards the main roads and footpaths, which sinoo they were taken over three months ago have been well done, and are all that could be deeired. If between the present time and tho next local election in March, they succeed with other necessary reforms, stich as compre- hensive bye-laws and other matters of urgency, including extended postal facilities, they will have done something towards showing their constituents that they have studied the welfare I of the Quay.

CHESHIRE LICENSING APPEAL. CHARGES OF DRUNKENNESS. LICENSEE CONVICTED. At the- Adjourned Cheshire Quarter Sessions at Chester Ca-st-(-, on Wedni-sday, the appeal was heard of Peter Leigh, licensee of th3 Blue C&P Dog Inn, Crow. against a conviction on July 14th for permitting drunkenness. Respondent wer.o ths Crewe Borough Justices and the Super- intendent of Police. Mr. J. F. T. Royds pre- sided over a large attendance of Mr. Ellis J. Griffith, M.P., was for appellant and Mr. W. B. Yates and Mr. Artemus Jones for respondents. Mr. Yates said the appeal was against the decision of a unanimous bench, convicting Pet-0,1, Leigh of permitting drunkenness on July 1st. Leigh had been fined 40s and costs. The Blue Cap Dog was a ful,y iioc-nicd house in Market* st. and Heath-st., Ciewe. At 12.10 on the day 16 question a constable found a man named EvatisOO lying helplessly drunk underneath or beside a. handf cart loaded with timber, at th? junction 0 Heath-sheet and Market-street. The man W30 forked up, and the next day was fined 59. costs. Oa July 14th a man named Malone convicted of drunknmefis on the same day, a;nd it turned out that both obtained their drink at the Bluo Cap Dog. According to the evidence for the prosecution, John Malone accompanied his brother,-who bad just been paid his Army pension, to the Blue Oap, Dog. The latter stood several drinks round for those present, including Evanson. In crosSj examination, Evanson said he walked straight 00 of the house without assistance. The police also in cross examination admitted that John Malone Wiis ariested primarily because li^ did not give d satisfactory ac.ount of some timber which he ba in a handcart.
