ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTH WALES CIRCUIT. -BALA, MIZIONNE.
SHTRE.-MARCH 13.

(Before Mr. Justice Crompton.)
The calendar for this county, which is famed for
the paucity of criminal business at the assizes, con-
tained the names of six prisoner'i.

A. LOVER'S ADVENTURE.
John Davies was indicted for unlawfully wound-
ing William Williams by shooting him on the 22d
January last.
Mr. Vaughan Williams was for the prosecution,
and Mr. Morgan Lloyd defended.
The prisoner is a small farmer, living at Llwyn-
Gladdaetb, near Barmouth. The prosecutor is a
farm servant, living at Sylan, about half a mile off.
About 11 o'clock on the night in question, Wil-
liams, taking advantage of a bright moonlight,
went out a wooing. He sought au interview with
a fair damsel named Elizabeth Lewis, who was in
the prisoner's service. Approaching the house, he
caught a glimpse of the object of his affections, who
was sitting by the kitchen window. Whilst he
stood gazing he was rudely interrupted by the
barking of a Scotch terrier dog. Exasperated at
this the young man threw a stone at the dog, but
the only effect of this was to .eauee.it to bark
and growl louder and more mersapiogly the
before. • The prisoner got out of hid; and
taking his guu from the "031fii cupboard"
he sallied forth. By this time the prosecutor had
retreated into the high road, within. a few yards of
the house. The prisoner followed him, and
threatened to shoot him if he would not go away.
The prosecutor said he would go immediately, and
he proceeded to do so. Davies seemed to be in a
passion, and the prosecutor had not proceeded
more than about 25 yards off, when he Was fired
spernotseencuceti,otnh,rereeccaolemncima recommended upon and wounded in the thigh and leg.
The jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. V.
r
imprisonment, without hard labour.
