DENBIGH. 'BOROUGH PoHCB COURT, Friday, Angust 5th,— Before Evan Pierce, Esq., M.n., and R. Lloyd Williams, Eøq, LafMHy.—John Wynne was charged with feloniously stealing a quantity of coal, value 6d., the property of his employer, Mr, John Davies, Lodge farm, on the 30th ultimo. P.O. Edward Griffiths, acting under the game law, deposed having seen prisoner carrying the coal from a field in the possession of Mr. Davies. Having good reason to suspect him, he asked him why he was taking away his master's projierty. Prisoner replied, Mr. Da- vies gave us liberty to take coal away whenever we wanted. He reported the matter to Mr. Davies, who issued a summons against the prisoner. Mr. Davies and several others having been examined, the larceny was clearly brought home to the prisoner. Sentenced to seven days' imprisonment, with bard labour. Dr. Pierce, in paaeing sentence, said-He was sorry to see the prisoner in that position, because he had pre- viously borne the character of a honest man If he had been allowed to take the coal home, his wife, who was an industrious and honest woman, would, no doubt, have aent him back with it to his master. His crime was Nearly proved, and he (his worship) regretted it intense- ly, inasmuch as it was an offence against his own mas- ter. He had endeavoured to exonerate himself by that he found the coal on the field, but that waa | a paltry excuse. Granting he had discovercil it oil the field, his conduct was not the less culpable, for he knew the field and everything on it was the property of his employer. Ilis duty was to take the coal to its proper place. He very likely thought the act was not of a serious nature, because he was cmployetl by Mr. Davies. Workmei), aiiii servants generally, fancied they had a kind of bona fide liberty to rob or plunder their employ- en iii Hiiiall tliiiigs, but lie (his worship) was of opinion that the person who could plunder his master or mistress was capable of committing crime of any magnitude—m faet, be did not think him better than a highway robber. It was high time to put a stop to the pilfering propensi- ties of workmen and servant*, who, in reality, should be foremost of all in undying the interests of their employ- ers in every respect. The other workmen, who heed- lessly witnessed the prisoner carrying away tne coal were equally blameable, and lu trusted Mr. Davies would no longer keep them in his employ The good character given to the prisoner by respectable persons, ami Air. Davies interceded on his behalf, inclined the bench to deal so leniently towards him. His Worship complimented the constable for bringing | the case to the notice of Mv. Davies. Although em- ployed under the game law, what he did on this occasion wa., quite cDmpatihle with his duties. Persons of the same disposition as prisoner were in fact poachers in 1 embry, and he trusted he would always watch them closely, lu so doing, lie would promote the welfare ot the farmers, who were at present so liable to be injured. Their fields were trespassed, hedges broken, turnips, potatoes, &c\, stolen. Farmers deserved the utmost sympathy, and the most vigorous pmteetion of the hw. m

FATAL ACCIDENT AT SEA.—A fatal accident occurred on board the Cambria, Captain Martin—one of the Rail- way Company's steamships—at a very early hour in the morning of Saturday last, the Oth of August. It is cus- tomarv on board these vessels to fasten on the windward side of the paddle-box a sheet—the weather-sheet—to protect the captain and any persons that may be on the bridge" during the passage, from the weather. A young sailor, John NVilliittii4 by name, was on that pas- sage performing the customary duty of fastening them on, when, unhappily, by some accident at present un- known, he was precipitated headlong over the paddle- box into the sea, and it is surmised he came in contact with the paddle-wheel, and sunk to rise no more alive. His body has not yet been found. The steamer was, as soon as practicable, put about, and a boat lowered, but with no avail. He has left his beloved parents and two sisters to lament his loss.

BETHESDA. PRESENTATION TO THE REV. J. WILLIAMS, GLANOUWEN. On Thursday evening, the 4th illst, a numerously at- tended meeting was helilti the National Schoolroom. Its object was to present the above rev. gentleman with t gold watch, upon his leaving for Pwllheli. Mr. Williams, during his short stay atGlanogwen,ha<t won the hearts of all, and when they understood that he was going to leave them, they determined to give him some substantial proof of their regard and esteem for his services among them so a subscription list was started, aud in a short time a handsome sum was ob. tained. Mor g an, TIncum- The chair was taken by the Rev. J. Morgan, Ineum. bent, who explained the object of the meeting, and said that he was very happy to see so many present, and hoped that they should have a pleasant meeting, and without further remarks at present, he said he would call upon the choir (the bethesda Glee Society, who had kindly attended, under the leadership of Mr. Henry Williams) to sing—44 Y mae'r Ddraig fll'n ymdoni," which was done with good effect. Mr. Win Evans, churchwarden, said that he did not eome there with the intention of making a speech, but still, as he had been called upon, he could not refuse to respond to the call of the worthy chairman. He then expatiated on the brotherly feeling that ought to exist between all Church members, and also between the shepherd and his flock and he was glad in being able to say that they were not devoid of that feeling and love at Glanogwen-that Christian feeling had existed among them since the Church was planted there, and that was one reason why he thought the Church was so prosperous in tlwt locality; although they had labour- ed under great disadvantages in changing ministers, yet, totnoiiow, they were fortunate enough to have excellent clergymen, who had the Church's interest at heart, and 110 he had every reason to expect that the Church wouki cotiiintie t,) advance under their present respected cler- gyman. Mr. Williams had given general satisfaction since his arrival amongst them, and he hoped that he would be as successful at Pwllheli as he had been at GUnogwen. He then went on to shew the propriety of preaentiug Mr. Williams with a testimonial; and after making a few remarks upon Church matters, concluded by hoping that Mr. Williams would follow in the steps of Cranmer, Latimer, &c. The Chairman then called on Mr- T. Prichard (Llwyd ap Twro), who began his speech by comparing the Wateh (the testimonia! about to be presented) to the snn, Ac., and then went on to say that he hoped Mr. Wiiiiamswoutd be itucceijftil in his new curacy. When they first saw him at Glanogwen, they were exceedingly afraid that they were going to have a youth, quite inexperienced, as their curate but, in a short time, they were agreeably dis- appointed. After making other very appv >priate re- marks, he concluded by reciting some poetry which he had composed for the occasion, and which, we are sorry to say, we cannot insert for want of space. The Choir afterwards sang a Glee-" COllie, let us sing." Mr. Wm Pritchard was then called upon to make a few remarks. He said that he did not profess to be a public speaker; but in order to shew his respect for their late curate, hs would endeavour to say a few words. He said that the present of a gold watch was sufficient of itself to prove what Mr. Williams had won at Glilnogwen. Good conduct will assuredly obtain its reward, as bad conduct will the reverse There was an old Welsh adage, which he just then thought of, viz. The three greatest losses any man could suffer ivere- a good name—a character—and his soul." He tho- roughly believed that Mr. Williams had won, and not lost, all these. After a few other suitable remarks, he aaid he would end by saying, "Be faithful till death, and I will rive thee the crown of life." The Chairman then called upon Mr. John Jones (loan Llechid), who recited a long piece of poetry which be had expressly composed for the occasion, but we are sorry to say that we cannot insert it fur want of space. We should think that the composition was a very good one Mr. Owen Williams (Ogwenydd), was next called upon to address the meeting. He said they were all aware of the command, Honour to whom houour is due," and the testimonial which was their present was a sufficient proof that they also knew how to obey the command. lie then recited an excellent piece of poetry. Afterwards, the Choir sang a Glee The Sun's day tvatn," in excellent style. Mr. Griffith Prichard, one of the Church communi- cants, rose and -said that he was sorry he could not ex- press himself as well as he wished; but he could say this, that Mr. Williams had done a great deal of good hince he came amongst them, and he hoped that the same success would attend his labours in the district of 1'wllheli. The Chairman then called upon Mr. H. Williams, of St. Bee's College, who was there present. He said he knew Mr. Williams long before he came to Glanogwen, and he could bear out those who had spoken before when they alluded to his zealousness and earnestness as a minister in Christ's Church. He understood that the Testimonial which was about to be given to Mr. IVil- liauis was got up by both rich aud poor of all denomina- tions. He theu alluded to the propriety of presenting a Minister of the Gospel with a Watch. Every time that Mr. Williams would took at that watch it would call to his mind the old friends he had left behind at Glan- ogwen. He then alluded to the responsibility of the minister, and the difficulty of performing his duty and, after a few other appropriate remarks, concluded with wishing him success in his new sphere. The Choir then sang-" Soldiers brave and gallant be." Afterwards the Chairman presented the Watch to Mr. Williams, and remarked that by this time he had heard of the testimonial they were presenting him with. The whole neighbourhood had contributed towards it; and it must be a source of great satisfaction to him to fiud the people o frieudly disposed towards him. He then went on to say that the present was a most cita- ble one, and then made some very good remarks upon the watch, alluding to the time when he was similarly situated when leaving Yspytty. He afterwards begged of him to be sure to keep this watch safely, and not to part with it upon any account, but to hand it down to his children as an everlasting memento of what he re- ceived at Glanogwen. He then handed the watch to Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams, upon receiving it, said that he could not possibly find words adequate to express himself—he felt very low spirited at leaving old friends. His com- ing to reside in this parish was brought about in a pecu liar manner. He then explained how he first came to NtHe there. Afterwards, he said that lie should always be attached to the place as being the first scene of his Labours in the ministry. He made some other appropri- ate remarks, thanked them all, and sat down amidst groat applause. The Chairman next called upon Mr. Owen, the school- master, to make a few remarks. Mr. Owen said that he hoped the watch would do its duty, as Mr. Williams had done while resident at Glan- ogwen. He then recited some excellent verses which he had composed for the occasion. After a few other ÎIp- propriate remarks, he wished Mr. Williams success at X'wllheli. Mr. 0. Williams, churchwarden, of Llanllechid, rose and said that it gave him great pleasure to be present there that evening to witness such good feeling between Mr. Williams and the Church members of Glanogwen, and he greatly hoped that he should hear of Mr. Wil- liams' success at Pwllheli. The Rector of Llanllechid offered some very good re- marks and advice. It afforded him great pleasure to witness such unity prevailing at the meeting. All had only one object in view, and all were intent upon that. He then gave some good advice to Mr. Williams, as he waa an experienced clergyman he could say that he would not meet with everything quite as he wished it wherever he would go, but that he should preach the truth without fear, and he hoped he would continue to prosper.

At 3 o'clock p.m., the children, to the number of about 120, assembled at the Vicarage, where they partook of a plentiful supply of currant bread and tea, which being over, the children walked in procession down to the field fronting the Vi- carage, where innocent games and amusements were re- sorted to, and in which the juveniles joined in great delight until 7 o'clock, when they were formed in cou- ples, and walked round the Vicarage, singing very sweet- ly, with their master, Mr. Parry, who is, we understand, one from the vicinity of Bangor. They afterwards dis- persed home, highly gratified with the day's proceed- ings. Many thanks are due to Mr. Parry, schoolmaster, for persevering so very hard, and for making himself so generally useful in the parish.

Vaughan Williams, Esq., Judge. Thirty-eight plaints were registered for trial at the court. Rowland Price, Thomas Jones, and John Lloyd v. Ro- bert Williams. This was an action in which the plaintiffs sued the defendant for £ 2, balance due for ley for a cow. Mr. Adams appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr. Louis for defendant. It was stated that an agreement was entered into for the cow to graze in Castle Park from May till the end of the season in 1863, for £ 4,— £ 2 to be paid on the cow entering, and the remaining sum to be paid on her removal from the park. The cow became ill, and died on the 26th of September—four days after leaving the field-defendant alleging that she died from starvation, there being unsufficient food in the park. Defendant, consequently, refused to pay more than 92. Mr. Louis made some very severe observations on the conduct of plaintiffs, advertising the ley for c )ws only, and then when cows were iu, letting it also for cows, sheep, horses, and fat cattle. It was a fraud to turn so many animals into such a small piece of land. Mr. Adams suggested that his Honour should split the difference" between the parties. His floiouii said he could not decide the matter in that way. It was a very wrong thing for the plaintiffs t.) let the field for cows, because they, from the peculiar construction of their mouths, hail no chance of obtain- ing food in the same place as sheep and horses. Mr. Adams was under a great disadvantage to conduct his case. Mr. Adams concurred with his Honour. Verdict-Noii-.stiit by consent, each party to pay their own costs. Hugh Jones, Gartbgynan, v. Richard Roberts, Cross Keys. i An action to recover Cl5 damages for injuries done to plaintiff's vehicle and wife. Mr. Louis appeared for plaintiff, and Nlr. Adatiis for defendant. Mr. Louis stated that plaintiff was a farmer, residing at Cartbgynan, and defendant, was proprietor of a stage coach running between Huthin and Mold. On the first day of April last, at eight o'clock in the evening, Mr. Jones, plaintiff's wife, arrived at Ruthin by train from Denbigh, and at the railway station, she was met by the family servant man, with a horse and gig. It was a bright night, and all the lamps of the town were lighted. Mr. Lewis, the then road surveyor in that district, happened to be at the station, and Mrs. Jones offered him a seat in her gig. Mr. Lewis accepted the offer, and took the reins. Another lady besides Mr. Jones was in the vehicle. As they drove over the bridge cros- sing the railway, they saw defendant's coach coming down lihos-street at a smart pace, and the driver ap- peared to hold the joins in a loose and careless manner. Mr. Lewis drew the gig to the left side of the street, opposite the Feathers Inn, leaving sufficient space for the coach to pass. The gig was stopped, ami immediately afterwards a collision took place—the coach striking the wheel of the gig with great force. Mr. Lewis drove gently for a distance of ten or fourteen yards, and then they heard a crash, which was followed by a serious occurrence. The two shafts of the vehicle were broken, and Mr. Lewis and the two ladies were thrown com- pletely from their seats on the road. The horse also took fright, and broke the harness to pieces. Mrs.Jones was picked up in a fainting state, and it was found that her left shoulder was dislocated. A medical gentleman was obliged to attend her for nearly a month. The action was therefore brought to seek damages for the in. juries sustained in consequence of the negligence of the driver of defendant's coach, Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Jones, and Miss Ellen Evans, swore to the above statements. Mr. Hugh Jones deposed—I brought the vehicle of Mr. Edwards, London House. I paid £ 14 for it. The repairing of the harness cost me 15s. The vehicle is of no use to us now. Cross-examined—The vehicle is not very old. I bought it about six years ago, and have used it pretty considerably. New shafts may be put to it. Dr. Jenkins stated having professionally atteuded Mrs. Jones for three weeks. Her injury was dislocation of the shoulder. I lis bill amounted to 3 guineas. Mr. Adams, in opening his defence complained that no disinterested witnesses had been called on the part of plaintiff. He regretted the accident as much as any one, but he would call witnesses to contradict all that had been said in support of plaintiff's case. The acci- dent, he would shew, was attributable to the want of skill or forethought on the part of Mr. Lewis. He (Mr. Lev.-is) was driving ladies home, one of the amenities of life which Mr. Lewis was quite capable of enjoying ai'd of course was earnestly engaged in eonvel stiou with them, and whilst thus happily engaged, be ran the gig into the coach. (Laughter. I The coach was coming down the hill cautiously, and it was some evidence in favour of the driver that there never was before a soli- tary complaint against him, having driven the same coach for 16 years. Touching upon the question of damages, Mr. Adams said the sum claimed was prepos- terous. The vehicle, with new shafts added to it, would be as strong and as useful as ever. The fact was, plain- tiff had bought a new gig, and lie wanted a pretty good sum to assist in paying for it. He would not grudge Dr. Jenkins' bill. It was almost a pleasure to meet with an accident to have a grand new gig, and to have a per- fect cure in three weeks, and that for the very small sum of three guineas. (Laughter.) ilr. Edwards, ironmonger, Mr. F. F. Jones, auction- eer, the driver, and several others, were sworn as witnes- ses for the defence. His HONOUR gave judgement for plaintiff, Damages, E6. Francis v. Lewis v. Francis, soda-water manufac- turers. The plaintiff in this action sued the defendants for £ 23 lis. 6d, balance of wages alleged to be due to him. The action was originally entered in the court of common pleas, whence it was referred to this court. Mr. Louis appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Adams for defendants. Plaintiff is the father of the defendant Francis. After a long investigation, during which the account books of both parties were carefully examined and com- pared, his Honour declared a verdict for plaintiff for X3 5s. 6d. The court sat from 10 a.m. till 7 p.m.. One or two cases were adjourned till next conrt.

A procession was formed at 2 p.m., headed by the Brass Baud, and followed by the lady equestrians, acrobats, gentlemen riders, clowns, &c., which was a very imposing spectacle. The afternoon performance commenced a little after 2 o'clock, but was not very extensively patronised. In the evening, it commenced a little after 7, and the spacious marquee was pretty well filled, considering the size of the town. It was calculated that nearly 800 persons were present. The great daring displayed by the riders elicited marked applause. The globe dancing and Chinese vaulters were truly astounding. Mr. Tom Elbin vaulted and turned a somersault over seven horses. Signor Costello's classical performance was very much appreciated. The extraor- dinary bare back and great feat of horsemanship, by Master Ben Boorn, astounded the numerous spectators —in fact, the whole affair was well worth seeing.

So about Christmas time I wis pitten awa some beasties to Lunnon, and gaed down to Banff to see them off, fin a cbiel handit me ane o' your bills. Weel, I teuk it liame and read it to the gudewife, and then says I— Weel, Janet, I'll send in by for a box o' thae Peels and Ointment to the droggist in Banff, and see if they will dee my leg ony guecd.' Toots, Peter.' says she: 'fat dis that Howl-awa chiel ken or care about the like o' us ? I hae nae faith in foreigners ava, and I think ye are surely crack to shauve awa your siller on ony sic stuff.' Stuff here or stuff there,' quo' I, Ise gie the man a trial, for I'm sick and vext o' doctors and droggists tee so I think it little eneuch that I get a spring on my ain ad- dle ance in the twenty years.' Weel, weel, Peter, tak yer ain way. and seen ye win- na dee o' the pet. But 1 tell ye I have nae faith in thae foreigners ava.' But the man bides in Lunnon,' says 1, 'and he's nae a foreigner besides, if he didna sell his stuff, he widna be fit to adverteese as he does; so I'se gie him a trial.' Weel, sir, I got a box o' thae Peels and Ointment, and pursuod tsikiu' them as ordered, and in sax weeks, my leg was nearly as gueed as new. I canna tell ye how prood I wis o't. Janet allowed hersell that it passed her comprehension, and that Mr. Howl-awa deserved a medal for his physic only Janet is some droll in her rewards, for the ither day she heard the minister takin' up the cudgels against some folk in high places, and she declar'd that he ought to git a iiieditl I ken na how that would look on a parson's coat. However, I'm wanderin' frae my soobjec but ye must excuse an auld man. I've been dippit upon every time I cam to Banfi, by the drog- gist, to senk ye a certificate o' my case so I've gaen ye aw the oots and ins o't noo, and sail be happy to recom- mend your medecine, and answer ony enquiries that may be pittin to me. Wishing ye aw manner o' happiness and prosperity in which wish Janet heartily joins, I trust aw your, patients may experience as rapid and complete a cure as that of yer most obedient servant to command, (Signed) "PETER GRAY."
