Transcription	NORTH WALES GUARDIAN , SATURDAY , JUNE 2 , 1888 . not run . the The major portion of the latter retreated , those individuals the furthest off shouting to their comrades to stand firm and Mr. Lloyd , who had been strenuously endeavouring to restore order , then addressed Captain Howard , and said the people had pro mised to keep quiet . The tenant of land complained that the Lancers , in riding on his field which had just been sown , damaged it to the extent of £ 30 , and he would be very glad if they were ordered off . - Captain Howard : I will gladly order them off if you keep the people quiet . - Mr . Lloyd said he would en deavour to do so , and the Lancers rode off . was then agreed that Mr. Dale should only be accompanied to the next field by three emergy men and Mr. Alun Lloyd , and that the people should remain where they were . Whilst they were absent a hymn was sung by the people , after which a collection was made for the It purpose of supplying the Lancers each with a pint of beer and some bread and cheese . The collection realised upwards of 108. , and the money was handed over to the Sergeant Major . Other farms were visited , but nothing of note occurred , and the party about six o'clock started for home . On the way the axle tree of the coach and four broke , and the consequence was that the policemen had to walk all the way home . THE ANTI - TITHE WAR . THE LANCERS AT LLANSANNAN . HOOTING THE POLICE . THREATENING TO READ THE RIOT ACT . AN ACCIDENT TO THE FOUR - IN HAND . AN IMPORTANT PROCLAMATION . A stranger arriving in Denbigh on Thursday morning , and visiting High - street , would begin to wonder whether he was in " gallant little Wales " or in the Emerald Isle , and from the presence of the military , the emergency men , and the police , together with the excited appearance of the crowd , would come to the conclusion that in some peculiar manner he had been wafted across the channel , and deposited in county Wicklow . If , however , he was at all conversant with the vernacular , he would speedily learn that all the commotion was caused by the " degwm , " or , to put it in other words , that , owing to the influence of persons whom it is needless to mention , matters have reached such a pitch that it is necessary to employ military force to collect a just debt . The street , before nine o'clock , was crowded with people , curious to see the military , and to witness the first start made under its pro tection . The crowd was composed of persons of all grades , all of whom were debating on the tithe question and the measures adopted by the military . Considerable stir was occasioned by the publication of the following proclamation issued by the magistrates , which was posted in a very conspicuous position : TITHE DISTURBANCES . The Justices of the Peace of the Isaled division , assembled in Petty Sessions , having been informed of the recent serious disturbances which have taken place in the division in connection with the collection of tithes , desire to point out that three or more persons assembling together and conducting themselves in a turbulent and disorderly manner , showing an apparent tendency to force or violence , making threatening speeches of a turbulent nature , making a great noise , or acting in any way calculated to inspire the people with terror , or intimidating any persons in the per formance of any lawful object , commit an offence for which they are liable on indictment to fine and im prisonment with hard labour . The Justices further desire to point out that such tumultous and riotous proceedings as have recently taken place in the parish of Llanefydd are unlawful , no matter what may be the cause or object of them . And the said Justices hereby give notice that all persons disturbing the peace of the district by taking part in such unlawful assemblies will be proceeded against according to law . By Order , J. PARRY - JONES , Clerk to the Justices for the division of Isaled . Denbigh , 23rd May , 1888 . The proclamation was also printed in Welsh , and its publication appeared to have a good effect , as the rowdy portion of the crowd re frained from ventilating their feelings by giving vent to horrible howls , as is their usual custom . Copies of the proclamation , we may also say , were circulated throughout the division . About ten o'clock , the bugler attached to the troop sounded the " call out , " and the Lancers , in their gay uniforms , soon paraded in the Town Hall . At the same moment Mr. Phillips ' four in - hand , conveying the police , drove up High street , and was immediately followed by a brake containing the emergency men . When near the end of the street a brief halt was made and a procession , formed in the following order , moved on for Llansannan : -The four - in - hand with 20 policemen , under the command of Supt . Vaughan ; the brake with 12 emergency men , under command of Sergt . Green ; trap contain ing Mr. Dale , of the Commissioners ' office , Mr. Stevens , distraining agent , and his clerk Mr. Rook , and the valuers ; trap containing Mr. Alun Lloyd and Mr. Gwilyn Parry , repre sentatives of the League ; trap with the representatives of the Press , followed by the Lancers , 39 men , under the command of Major Gough and Lieut . Colvin ; the rear being brought up by members of the general public . The force was also accompanied by Major Leadbetter , the Chief Constable , Capt . Henry Howard , J.P. , who attended to read the Riot Act if necessary , and Mr. George Blezard , Poole Park ; the three being mounted . The occupants of the two first vehicles were hooted as they drove along , whilst the Lancers were cheered again and again . The weather was beautifully fine , and was rather too hot to be pleasant , and as the journey was a long one , and the roads bad , the party proceeded at a moderate pace . As they marched along the force excited a deal of attention , the labourers in the fields desisting from work and gazing at the Lancers till they were hidden from view in a cloud of dust . At Henllan a small crowd had gathered , and passed humourous remarks on the military being called out for the " degwm , " some individuals boldly declaring that they would be no match for the " Llan sannan boys . " As the force made its way up the hills , enchanting views of the Vale were obtained . The scenery was truly magnificent , and the further into the hills the party pro ceeded it became more wild and picturesque . As they skirted the base of Moel Vodian , a gure clad in corduroys was seen to make his way to its summit , and standing in that exposed posi tion , blew a series of calls on his cow horn . In reponse several other corduroys made their appearance , but nothing like the crowd that was anticipated gathered , and the thought that the " Llansannan boys " held the Lancers in awe , seemed to strike the musician , as after a rather dispairing blast he suddenly disappeared from sight , and was shortly afterwards seen on level ground . On arriving at the entrance gate to Dyffryn Aled Park , it was decided to drive to the village through the park , thus saving about two miles of bad road . This was accord ingly done , the drive , through the kindness of the owner , Mr. P. Wynne Yorke , who is at present away , being open for the convenience of the public . The way led through scenery not to be rivalled , even in the Vale of Clwyd itself . On each side of the road magnificent trees shaded the travellers from the sun , whilst down in the hollow the river Aled flowed on its peaceful course . Flowers in every hue charmed the eye , and the ear was greeted with the music of the birds . In the distance could be seen the summits of the " everlasting hills , " whilst away to the right stretched a grand belt of finest trees . After a drive of about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes through this delightful scenery , the party came in sight of the village of Llan Horns were at once blown , a few tins banged , " and other means adopted to make the presence of the enemy known . In spite of sannan . ( Before just refer to the remarkable fact that the crowd concluding our report we would was one of the smallest that has yet gathered during the whole campaign , this too in spite of the attration of the military . The reason assigned by the is , that the A The real fact is of Llansannan and neighbourhood had no in timation that the distraints were to take place . This , however , is mere rot , as the news that the Lancers had arrived spread throughout the district with great rapidity . It would not be drawing on our imagination to say that a dozen or so of farmers from the parish of Llansannan were present when the military arrived in the town , and it is hardly likely that these persons would keep the news a secret . that the Anti - Tithe League , wishing to make the presence of the military a mere farce , have pre vailed on the farmers not to put in an appearance during the distraints . Whether they succeed in doing so for more than a few days at the utmost remains to be seen . In conclusion , we would state that although the police behaved with the greatest civility , bearing the insults and taunts of the mob in silence , they were hooted and groaned at almost incessantly . This is due to the fact that at the recent disturbances at Llanefydd the police were able to chastise several noisy and prominent agitators . an turned up in dozens instead of hundreds as anticipated and promised . A brief halt was made in the village for the purpose of allowing breathing time to men and horses , and the business of the day then commenced . Headed At by Mr. Dale and Mr. Stevens , the emergency men proceeded to a small farm near the village , the police accompanying them , the Lancers re maining for a time in the village , the bugler , however , following close upon the distraining party . At this farm nothing was found that could be distrained upon , this " victory " for the anti- tithe company being celebrated with cheers by the small mob that had collected . the next farm some cattle were distrained upon , and here Major Leadbetter had occasion to caution a woman who threw a stone at the party . At a subsequent farm visited a crowd collected in a corner of the field , and commenced yelling and groaning with all their might . As they refused to desist , Major Leadbetter , speaking to Mr. Alun Lloyd , said that according to the proclamation issued by the magistrates he was bound to take the names of some of the people down . Mr. Lloyd said he was keeping the people ten yards from the police , so that the latter would not be molested . As to the proclamation , he had his doubts as to whether it was a legal document to issue or not . The party then moved on in search of some cattle to distrain on , the police being brought up , amidst the hoots of the crowd , close to the emergency men . A long search was made for some stock , but without success , and as it was going on Mr. Lloyd complained that the party were trespass ing . If they continued to trespass he would have to appeal to the police to apprehend them ! Mr. Dale said they did no wrong intentionally , and kept as much as possible to the footpath . Mr. Lloyd said if they persisted in trespassing and if the police would not turn them out they would have to take legal proceedings . party then moved on to the road by a circuitous route , Mr. Lloyd subsequently stating that Supt . Vaughan had promised to proceed against the emergency men if they trespassed further . Here the party were joined by the Lancers , who , as the crowd became large and noiser , kept up with the main body . Nothing of special interest occurred till a small holding , held by a man named Owens , was visited . The man refused to pay , and as the doors of the cow houses were locked they were burst open , in spite of the protests of the crowd . The Lancers remained on the road , the police alone accom panying the emergency men , who proceeded to a field held by the same tenant . Here the crowd became very noisy , although its numbers were not by any means as large as what they promised to be . The emergency men alone next proceeded to another field belonging to the same farm , and as the crowd followed the police remaining in the other field with the Lancers , who now , for the first time , had to leave the high road . In this field nothing could be found to distrain upon , and as the police marched to the spot . Their crowd began to be very demonstrative the only increased the excitement of the mob , and Captain Howard , addressing the representatives of the League , said : If they don't keep quiet I shall read the Riot Act and put the Lancers in line . I will stop this noise , and I won't have the law put into contempt . " This remark was greeted with ironical cheers , and as the rabble still persisted in creating a noise the Lancers accordingly rode up , and forming into line faced The appearance the crowd . ***** BLAN ACCIDENT TO THE CHIEF CONSTABLE'S u HORSE.uning 5 : rond 32 On Friday morning Mr. Dale and Mr. Stevens with their escort proceeded to Llanefydd , waggons being taken for the purpose of bringing stock home if the farmers declined to pay . The vehicles , however , were not wanted , the leaguers " stum.ping up at the advice of the anti - tithe officials . During the morning the horse on which the Chief Constable , Major Leadbetter , was riding became restive , reared and plunged , and finally fell to the ground , taking its rider with it . Major Leadbetter was up again in a moment , he , fortunately , being uninjured . The horse , however , was badly bruised , and was at once despatched home to Denbigh . No other incident of note occurred during the day , there being no opposition to the party , as on the occasion of the previous visit . The DEPARTURE OF THE LANCERS . Greatly to the regret of some of the in habitants , the Lancers left Denbigh for Abergele on Tuesday morning , billets having been arranged for them by Supt . Vaughan . men have made numerous friends during their stay in the town , and expressed regret at leaving such pleasant quarters . The emergency men also have departed , so that there now being nobody in particular to hoot , it is to be hoped our Radical friends will moderate their zeal and pursue their wonted occupations with their usual tranquility . The tithe distraint proceedings were not renewed at Llanefydd on Monday . It is re ported that at Llansannan , on Saturday , an attack was made on the village constable's house , many windows being broken . No violence was offered to the policeman and his wife . No one was arrested . Messrs . Dale and Stevens , ac companied by two appraisers - Messrs . Shaw and Pigott , of Chester - left Denbigh at nine o'clock on Saturday , protected by a detachment of the 9th Lancers and a large number of emergency men and police . The party was out for three hours only , and visited four farms at Llanefydd , the occupants of which all paid the amounts due . Mr. Stevens afterwards left for London . The tithe distraints and sales were suspended from Saturday till Tuesday , when it was found more convenient for the carrying on of the work on behalf of the Commissioners in the Llanfairtalhaiarn , Abergele , and up country districts to remove the troop of the 9th Lancers to Abergele temporarily and encamp them in the Llanfair district , where there is no ac commodation for billeting them . Accordingly , they paraded Tuesday morning in High - street , and were the objects of great attraction to the townspeople . They then proceeded by road to Abergele , whither Mr. Stevens and his emer gency men had preceded them . Although since the arrival of the military there has not been any disturbance , the authorities consider it the wisest and safest course to retain the services of the Lancers , instead of bringing together an exceptionally large force of police , which they think would be needed . The authorities took a serious step on Wed nesday in their determination to grapple with the extraordinary arrears of tithes due by Denbighshire farmers to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners . Around Abergele , there is an immense district in which the farmers have refused to pay tithe for the past two years , and it has been resolved to form a camp at Llan fairtalhaiarn , a village six miles distant from the coast . There , on Wednesday , in the Vicar's field the military and police went under can vass for three weeks . A fatigue party was sent forward to pitch tents in regular military fashion . There is a force of 36 men from the 9th Lancers , commanded by Major Gough , and a posse of 14 constables in charge of Superintendent Vaughan , of Denbigh . The military and police on Wednesday moved out to protect Mr. Stevens , the agent of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners , who distrained on several neighbouring farmers . No opposition was offered to the collecting agent , the farmers contending themselves with lodging a formal protest against the imposition of tithes . When the distraints have been completed the seizures will be made , and if the tenants do not pay their property will be removed . The intense feeling prevailing throughout Denbighshire against the police since the baton charge at Llanefydd has been illustrated at Llansannan , where the cottage occupied by Police - constable Davies has been literally wrecked by a mob . Davies's offence is that he acted as guide to Mr. Stevens , the commissioners ' agent . THE ANTI - TITHE DISTURBANCES IN WALES . FAILURE OF THE BOYCOTTING . " I have just returned , " writes a Wrexham cor respondent , " from a visit to the camp at Llanfair talhaiarn , where the 9th Lancers , police , and emer gency men are encamped for the purpose of pro tecting the operations of the Ecclesiastical Com missioners in collecting tithe . I was prepared from what I saw in soma local newspapers to find these forces in great straits with respect to pro visions , but this I found was only like many other stories written especially for the vernacular press to cause excitement and enmity . The boycotting certainly was tried on , but utterly failed to create any inconvenience . The authorities simply made arrangements to procure what they required from a distance . This involves more expense certainly , but the boycotters will have to assist in paying the extra cost by the increase in the rates . They now regret having put several hundreds of pounds in other pockets than their own , and would no doubt be glad to change their minds . I did not find the popular feeling against the police so strong as con stantly represented . In fact , everyone I spoke to referred in the highest terms to their wonderful for bearance throughout a most trying time , and amid much irritation and annoyance . The Lancers are prime favourites , and are gaining ground among the fair sex , which may spoil thoir popu larity among the male Tafies . " Mr McFarlane , 9th Lancers - Liqueur stand . The Hon .

The major portion of the latter retreated , those individuals the furthest off shouting to their comrades to stand firm and Mr. Lloyd , who had been strenuously endeavouring to restore order , then addressed Captain Howard , and said the people had pro mised to keep quiet . The tenant of land complained that the Lancers , in riding on his field which had just been sown , damaged it to the extent of £ 30 , and he would be very glad if they were ordered off . - Captain Howard : I will gladly order them off if you keep the people quiet . - Mr . Lloyd said he would en deavour to do so , and the Lancers rode off . was then agreed that Mr. Dale should only be accompanied to the next field by three emergy men and Mr. Alun Lloyd , and that the people should remain where they were .

Other farms were visited , but nothing of note occurred , and the party about six o'clock started for home . On the way the axle tree of the coach and four broke , and the consequence was that the policemen had to walk all the way home .

THE LANCERS AT LLANSANNAN . HOOTING THE POLICE . THREATENING TO READ THE RIOT ACT .
AN ACCIDENT TO THE FOUR - IN HAND .
AN IMPORTANT PROCLAMATION . A stranger arriving in Denbigh on Thursday morning , and visiting High - street , would begin to wonder whether he was in " gallant little Wales " or in the Emerald Isle , and from the presence of the military , the emergency men , and the police , together with the excited appearance of the crowd , would come to the conclusion that in some peculiar manner he had been wafted across the channel , and deposited in county Wicklow . If , however , he was at all conversant with the vernacular , he would speedily learn that all the commotion was caused by the " degwm , " or , to put it in other words , that , owing to the influence of persons whom it is needless to mention , matters have reached such a pitch that it is necessary to employ military force to collect a just debt . The street , before nine o'clock , was crowded with people , curious to see the military , and to witness the first start made under its pro tection . The crowd was composed of persons of all grades , all of whom were debating on the tithe question and the measures adopted by the military . Considerable stir was occasioned by the publication of the following proclamation issued by the magistrates , which was posted in a very conspicuous position :
TITHE DISTURBANCES . The Justices of the Peace of the Isaled division , assembled in Petty Sessions , having been informed of the recent serious disturbances which have taken place in the division in connection with the collection of tithes , desire to point out that three or more persons assembling together and conducting themselves in a turbulent and disorderly manner , showing an apparent tendency to force or violence , making threatening speeches of a turbulent nature , making a great noise , or acting in any way calculated to inspire the people with terror , or intimidating any persons in the per formance of any lawful object , commit an offence for which they are liable on indictment to fine and im prisonment with hard labour . The Justices further desire to point out that such tumultous and riotous proceedings as have recently taken place in the parish of Llanefydd are unlawful , no matter what may be the cause or object of them . And the said Justices hereby give notice that all persons disturbing the peace of the district by taking part in such unlawful assemblies will be proceeded against according to law .
By Order ,
J. PARRY - JONES , Clerk to the Justices for the division of Isaled . Denbigh , 23rd May , 1888 .
The proclamation was also printed in Welsh , and its publication appeared to have a good effect , as the rowdy portion of the crowd re frained from ventilating their feelings by giving vent to horrible howls , as is their usual custom . Copies of the proclamation , we may also say , were circulated throughout the division . About ten o'clock , the bugler attached to the troop sounded the " call out , " and the Lancers , in their gay uniforms , soon paraded in the Town Hall . At the same moment Mr. Phillips ' four in - hand , conveying the police , drove up High street , and was immediately followed by a brake containing the emergency men . When near the end of the street a brief halt was made and a procession , formed in the following order , moved on for Llansannan : -The four - in - hand with 20 policemen , under the command of Supt . Vaughan ; the brake with 12 emergency men , under command of Sergt . Green ; trap contain ing Mr. Dale , of the Commissioners ' office , Mr. Stevens , distraining agent , and his clerk Mr. Rook , and the valuers ; trap containing Mr. Alun Lloyd and Mr. Gwilyn Parry , repre sentatives of the League ; trap with the representatives of the Press , followed by the Lancers , 39 men , under the command of Major Gough and Lieut . Colvin ; the rear being brought up by members of the general public . The force was also accompanied by Major Leadbetter , the Chief Constable , Capt . Henry Howard , J.P. , who attended to read the Riot Act if necessary , and Mr. George Blezard , Poole Park ; the three being mounted . The occupants of the two first vehicles were hooted as they drove along , whilst the Lancers were cheered again and again . The weather was beautifully fine , and was rather too hot to be pleasant , and as the journey was a long one , and the roads bad , the party proceeded at a moderate pace . As they marched along the force excited a deal of attention , the labourers in the fields desisting from work and gazing at the Lancers till they were hidden from view in a cloud of dust . At Henllan a small
crowd had gathered , and passed humourous remarks on the military being called out for the " degwm , " some individuals boldly declaring that they would be no match for the " Llan sannan boys . " As the force made its way up the hills , enchanting views of the Vale were obtained . The scenery was truly magnificent , and the further into the hills the party pro ceeded it became more wild and picturesque .
As they skirted the base of Moel Vodian , a gure clad in corduroys was seen to make his way to its summit , and standing in that exposed posi tion , blew a series of calls on his cow horn . In reponse several other corduroys made their appearance , but nothing like the crowd that was anticipated gathered , and the thought that the " Llansannan boys " held the Lancers in awe , seemed to strike the musician , as after a rather dispairing blast he suddenly disappeared from sight , and was shortly afterwards seen on level ground . On arriving at the entrance gate to Dyffryn Aled Park , it was decided to drive to the village through the park , thus saving about two miles of bad road . This was accord ingly done , the drive , through the kindness of the owner , Mr. P. Wynne Yorke , who is at present away , being open for the convenience of the public . The way led through scenery not to be rivalled , even in the Vale of Clwyd itself . On each side of the road magnificent trees shaded the travellers from the sun , whilst down in the hollow the river Aled flowed on its peaceful course . Flowers in every hue charmed the eye , and the ear was greeted with the music of the birds . In the distance could be seen the summits of the " everlasting hills , " whilst away to the right stretched a grand belt of finest trees . After a drive of about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes through this delightful scenery , the party came in sight of the village of Llan Horns were at once blown , a few tins banged , " and other means adopted to make the presence of the enemy known . In spite of
sannan .

Before
just refer to the remarkable fact that the crowd concluding our report we would was one of the smallest that has yet gathered during the whole campaign , this too in spite of the attration of the military . The reason assigned by the is , that the
A
The real fact is
of Llansannan and neighbourhood had no in timation that the distraints were to take place . This , however , is mere rot , as the news that the Lancers had arrived spread throughout the district with great rapidity . It would not be drawing on our imagination to say that a dozen or so of farmers from the parish of Llansannan were present when the military arrived in the town , and it is hardly likely that these persons would keep the news a secret . that the Anti - Tithe League , wishing to make the presence of the military a mere farce , have pre vailed on the farmers not to put in an appearance during the distraints . Whether they succeed in doing so for more than a few days at the utmost remains to be seen . In conclusion , we would state that although the police behaved with the greatest civility , bearing the insults and taunts of the mob in silence , they were hooted and groaned at almost incessantly . This is due to the fact that at the recent disturbances at Llanefydd the police were able to chastise several noisy and prominent agitators .
an
turned up in dozens instead of hundreds as anticipated and promised . A brief halt was made in the village for the purpose of allowing breathing time to men and horses , and the business of the day then commenced . Headed
At
by Mr. Dale and Mr. Stevens , the emergency men proceeded to a small farm near the village , the police accompanying them , the Lancers re maining for a time in the village , the bugler , however , following close upon the distraining party . At this farm nothing was found that could be distrained upon , this " victory " for the anti- tithe company being celebrated with cheers by the small mob that had collected . the next farm some cattle were distrained upon , and here Major Leadbetter had occasion to caution a woman who threw a stone at the party . At a subsequent farm visited a crowd collected in a corner of the field , and commenced yelling and groaning with all their might . As they refused to desist , Major Leadbetter , speaking to Mr. Alun Lloyd , said that according to the proclamation issued by the magistrates he was bound to take the names of some of the people down . Mr. Lloyd said he was keeping the people ten yards from the police , so that the latter would not be molested . As to the proclamation , he had his doubts as to whether it was a legal document to issue or not . The party then moved on in search of some cattle to distrain on , the police being brought up , amidst the hoots of the crowd , close to the emergency men . A long search was made for some stock , but without success , and as it was going on Mr. Lloyd complained that the party were trespass ing . If they continued to trespass he would have to appeal to the police to apprehend them ! Mr. Dale said they did no wrong intentionally , and kept as much as possible to the footpath . Mr. Lloyd said if they persisted in trespassing and if the police would not turn them out they would have to take legal proceedings . party then moved on to the road by a circuitous route , Mr. Lloyd subsequently stating that Supt . Vaughan had promised to proceed against the emergency men if they trespassed further . Here the party were joined by the Lancers , who , as the crowd became large and noiser , kept up with the main body . Nothing of special interest occurred till a small holding , held by a man named Owens , was visited . The man refused to pay , and as the doors of the cow houses were locked they were burst open , in spite of the protests of the crowd . The Lancers remained on the road , the police alone accom panying the emergency men , who proceeded to a field held by the same tenant . Here the crowd became very noisy , although its numbers were not by any means as large as what they promised to be . The emergency men alone next proceeded to another field belonging to the same farm , and as the crowd followed the police remaining in the other field with the Lancers , who now , for the first time , had to leave the high road . In this field nothing could be found to distrain upon , and as the police marched to the spot . Their crowd began to be very demonstrative the only increased the excitement of the mob , and Captain Howard , addressing the representatives of the League , said : If they don't keep quiet I shall read the Riot Act and put the Lancers in line . I will stop this noise , and I won't have the law put into contempt . " This remark was greeted with ironical cheers , and as the rabble still persisted in creating a noise the Lancers accordingly rode up , and forming into line faced

***** BLAN
ACCIDENT TO THE CHIEF CONSTABLE'S u HORSE.uning 5 : rond
32
On Friday morning Mr. Dale and Mr. Stevens with their escort proceeded to Llanefydd , waggons being taken for the purpose of bringing stock home if the farmers declined to pay . The vehicles , however , were not wanted , the leaguers " stum.ping up at the advice of the anti - tithe officials . During the morning the horse on which the Chief Constable , Major Leadbetter , was riding became restive , reared and plunged , and finally fell to the ground , taking its rider with it . Major Leadbetter was up again in a moment , he , fortunately , being uninjured . The horse , however , was badly bruised , and was at once despatched home to Denbigh . No other incident of note occurred during the day , there being no opposition to the party , as on the occasion of the previous visit .
The
DEPARTURE OF THE LANCERS . Greatly to the regret of some of the in habitants , the Lancers left Denbigh for Abergele on Tuesday morning , billets having been arranged for them by Supt . Vaughan . men have made numerous friends during their stay in the town , and expressed regret at leaving such pleasant quarters . The emergency men also have departed , so that there now being nobody in particular to hoot , it is to be hoped our Radical friends will moderate their zeal and pursue their wonted occupations with their usual tranquility .
The tithe distraint proceedings were not renewed at Llanefydd on Monday . It is re ported that at Llansannan , on Saturday , an attack was made on the village constable's house , many windows being broken . No violence was offered to the policeman and his wife . No one was arrested . Messrs . Dale and Stevens , ac companied by two appraisers - Messrs . Shaw and Pigott , of Chester - left Denbigh at nine o'clock on Saturday , protected by a detachment of the 9th Lancers and a large number of emergency men and police . The party was out for three hours only , and visited four farms at Llanefydd , the occupants of which all paid the
amounts due . Mr. Stevens afterwards left for London .
The tithe distraints and sales were suspended
from Saturday till Tuesday , when it was found more convenient for the carrying on of the work on behalf of the Commissioners in the Llanfairtalhaiarn , Abergele , and up country districts to remove the troop of the 9th Lancers to Abergele temporarily and encamp them in the Llanfair district , where there is no ac commodation for billeting them . Accordingly , they paraded Tuesday morning in High - street , and were the objects of great attraction to the townspeople . They then proceeded by road to Abergele , whither Mr. Stevens and his emer gency men had preceded them . Although since the arrival of the military there has not been any disturbance , the authorities consider it the wisest and safest course to retain the services of the Lancers , instead of bringing together an exceptionally large force of police , which they think would be needed .
The authorities took a serious step on Wed nesday in their determination to grapple with the extraordinary arrears of tithes due by Denbighshire farmers to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners . Around Abergele , there is an immense district in which the farmers have refused to pay tithe for the past two years , and it has been resolved to form a camp at Llan fairtalhaiarn , a village six miles distant from the coast . There , on Wednesday , in the Vicar's field the military and police went under can vass for three weeks . A fatigue party was sent forward to pitch tents in regular military fashion . There is a force of 36 men from the 9th Lancers , commanded by Major Gough , and a posse of 14 constables in charge
of Superintendent Vaughan , of Denbigh . The military and police on Wednesday moved out to protect Mr. Stevens , the agent of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners , who distrained on several neighbouring farmers . No opposition was offered to the collecting agent , the farmers contending themselves with lodging a formal protest against the imposition of tithes . When the distraints have been completed the seizures will be made , and if the tenants do not pay their property will be removed . The intense feeling prevailing throughout Denbighshire against the police since the baton charge at Llanefydd has been illustrated at Llansannan , where the cottage occupied by Police - constable Davies has been literally wrecked by a mob . Davies's offence is that he acted as guide to Mr. Stevens , the commissioners ' agent .
THE ANTI - TITHE DISTURBANCES IN WALES .
FAILURE OF THE BOYCOTTING . " I have just returned , " writes a Wrexham cor respondent , " from a visit to the camp at Llanfair talhaiarn , where the 9th Lancers , police , and emer gency men are encamped for the purpose of pro tecting the operations of the Ecclesiastical Com missioners in collecting tithe . I was prepared from what I saw in soma local newspapers to find these forces in great straits with respect to pro visions , but this I found was only like many other stories written especially for the vernacular press to cause excitement and enmity . The boycotting certainly was tried on , but utterly failed to create any inconvenience . The authorities simply made arrangements to procure what they required from a distance . This involves more expense certainly , but the boycotters will have to assist in paying the extra cost by the increase in the rates . They now regret having put several hundreds of pounds in other pockets than their own , and would no doubt be glad to change their minds . I did not find the popular feeling against the police so strong as con stantly represented . In fact , everyone I spoke to referred in the highest terms to their wonderful for bearance throughout a most trying time , and amid much irritation and annoyance . The Lancers are prime favourites , and are gaining ground among the fair sex , which may spoil thoir popu larity among the male Tafies . "
