REVISION COURTS. NEWTOWN. 'On Tuesday, Mr Elphinstone Lloyd mt, at 'the Police Court, Newtown, to revise the lists for Aberhafesp, Bettws, Kerry, Llanllwchaiarn, Llanmerewig, Llanwnog, Mochdre, Newtown, Penstrowed, and Tregynon parishes. Mr Ed- ward Evans, Secretary of the Montgomeryshire Conservative and Unionist Association, ap- peared for the Conservatives, along with him being Mr Alfred Parry, assistant secretary For the Liberals, Mr J. T. C. Gittins appeared for the County, and Mr W. Lewis for the Bor- oughs. OVERSEER AND HIS EXCUSE LIST. Dealing with the Asberhafesp lists, David Thoma-s Vvilcock, Hafren, and Sarah Morris, lodge keeper, employed by Lord Joicey, were struck off on Conservative objections. Sarah Watkin was claimed for by the Liber- als, but Mr Gittins remarked that she had not paid her rates. It transpired she had not done for some years, and the Assistant Overseer said he had placed her upon the excuse list." Her rates had been excused in previous years, and perhaps it prevented her costing the parish Hiore. Mr Evans enquired if she had applied to be put on the excuse list. The Assistant Overseer admitted she had Qot, but sa.id he prepared the list. Eventually the vote was allowed. BETTWS. Mr William Griffiths, assistant overseer for this parish, said there, was one claim, and this Mr Evans said was his. It was successive, the claimant having been co-occupier with his bro- thers at Tycoch, 'Llanwyddelan, and was now sole tenant of Llwvncoch.—The vote was al- lowed. Mr Evans claimed a County Council vote for Mr Swettenham, of Tregynon, who occupies a 'garden in Bettws parish. He said the garden ,^as about 15s. a year, but on it the claimant had put up a permanent building with the con- sent of fthe landlord. That had value in addi- tion to the :la»E, Ihe submitted he was en- titled to be on Division 3. Mr Gittins said his information was that it Was only a temporary shed, and had been put -113 since the 15th July. Mr A. D. Jones, assistant overseer of Tre- was called, and said the garden was held from Lord Joicey, and the shed had been IIp nearly two years. It was a permanent structure, and without it the garden would be °f little use, as it was some distance from claim- us ant's house. It was used for storing imple- ments. 0 The Revising Barrister It is an easy way of getting a vote, but still he is entitled.—Vote al- lowed. TENEMENT OR BUILDING. *he Assistant Overseer had altered the de- scription of the qualifying property in one in- stance from land and tenement" to land 1I.nd building," and explained that the tenement ^&s in another parish. These were farm build- Ings. -The Revising Barrister: Well, why change • A building is a tenement. If it had been a u*e, the proper description would have been filing house! KERRY. wMr J. M. Milnes presented the lists for parish. There was one lodger claim, "ich Mr Gittins supported. The claimant a>9 Humphrey Davies, and Mr Howells, who £ "ln^nt oec,1Pier °f Gilfach, a farm rented at a year, said Davies lived with him, occu- lt,1,!1? a bedroom which he had furnished him- ■■■ He worked on the farm and was kept in leu of wages. The value would be 14s. or 16s. week. Cross-examined by Mr Evans Claimant was ardly an ordinary workman.

In the first William Bowen ^yned a vote for joint tenancy of Tynyrhiew \r his brother, and put in the rate receipts. r Gittins asked for the rent receipts and when Ilf' hook was put. in declared that there were ,our 0f them for it, and that the claimant was Il't occupant with his mother and brothers, "ft -rent receipt was all in one and read— »tt«eeived of Mrs Bowen, Dugwm, and Messrs ^p'Ward and Willie Bowen, Tynyrhiew, the ^u«i of-—— This, Mr Gittins contended, was tenancy for the lot. lftiniant denied this, and declared he occu- pied Tynyrhiew with his brother separately. ,e admitted that the stock of his mother and brother was not separate, but she had no- to do with the holding. I ■lhe Revising Barrister said that was not e i,.e a he read the receipt. It was a receipt to rp's Bowen for Dugwm, and the others for rjJnyrhiew.

TheR THE BOROUGH LIST. the C-e lists were taken in the afternoon, when S\-aj 0nservatives were represented by Mr E. Bv \rw Mr Alfred Parry, and the Liberals wIliam L,ewis- Mr J- D- Rees< M-p-> I>Ur-r Hugh Lewis were also present. I'istoj. lnK 'he course of the revision, the Bar- Uld that he could not understand whj lito lists sliouid not have one ward and call them wards for the purposes of the District Council and divisions for the County Council. Mr Richard Goodwin (assistant overseer): They are not the same number with the Urban Council as they arc for the other. Thor-Ð is an extra ward, sir. The Barrister: But the Urban Council ha:7t' j County Council votes, have not they? Mr "Goodwin Yes, sir. The Barrister: But the County Council ooirt have an Urban Council vote? Mr Goodwin Not in that particular ward, sir. I THE VALUE OF BEDROOMS IN NEW- TOWN. Mr Lewis claimed lodger votes for David and John Henry Jarman in respect of bedrooms oc- cupied by them at Lower Gwostydd, in the Llanllwchaiarn ward. One of the claimants, Mr David Jarman, ap- peared and said that he and his' brother accu- pied separate rooms at Lower Gwestydd. Mr Evans How many bedrooms are there in the house?—Eleven. How many in family?—Eight. Without the servants?—Yes. The Barrister I only object to the value of the house. The rateable value of the house is Y,14 10s. This must be an enormous house. Mr Lewis It is, sir. The Applicant: We can put four beds in some of the rooms. Mr Evans: When the principle is admitted that the rateable value is not so much there is no claim. This house is assessed at Y,14 10s., and we accept that as a basis. The appli- cant wants us to believe that two of the rooms are worth Y-20, and the 11 would therefore be worth Cl20. Mr Lewis: This is a splendid house. It is an old hall. The Barrister: What price would you have to pay for a similar bedroom? Would he get a bedroom unfurnished for less than £10 a year in the locality? Mr Evans I don't think they would charge more than 5s. a week. (To claimant) You have a brother in addition to the two claim- ants?—Yes. Do you mean that three beds fire made up every day for the convenience of three bro- thers ? The Barrister And three different rooms ? Applicant: Yes, sir. Mr Lewis They employ workmen who live out in cottages. The Barrister Supposing that the whole of the bedrooms are worth this, what is there to prevent me putting on 13 lodgers? Mr Evans Nothing. I should say the other brother can claim next year if he is old enough. The Barrister: They might have 10 lodgers there. Mr Lewis: I had an aunt living there for many years, and she had the Vicar of Llan- llwchaiarn lodging there. He had two rooms for which he paid C2 a week, in the very same house. The Barrister He had the best bedroom. Mr Evans He had attendance as well. The Barrister The fact is the gross estimate is so very much below what you say is the worth of the house, the market value of such a house in the country must be low. Mr Lewis: The Assessment Committee are all farmers, and they put the value a»s low as they can. The Barrister eventually allowed the claim of David Jarman only. Mr Lewis objected to Thomas Owen Roberts, Llanfair road, being on the lodger's list be- cause the house was an old tollbar, and he maintained that there were not two rooms. The Barrister I cannot see that an old toll- house could have a bedroom and sitting room. —The claim was struck out. George Price applied for a vote as a lodger at Upper Gwestydd, and his uncle. Mr Price, The Pant, appeared to substantiate the claim. Mr Evans How many bedrooms are there in the house?—Six on the first floor, and there is an attic. How many children? Am I correct if I say there are eight children?—Yes. You say that this young man has the sole use of one bedroom, and the other members of the family occupy the others 1- Y ee. I maintain that the family is too large and there are too many in the family to have a vote.—Disallowed. Mr Evans claimed a lodger's vote for Wil- liam Latham in respect of rooms in a house in Union street. Mr Evans said that the son of this claimant is the tenant of the house, and was a professional footballer, and away from home for the greater part of the year. The claimant and his wife were the only occupants in the house. There were three bedrooms, and the rent was 98. Mr Lewis maintained that the claimant him- self paid nothing whatever. In fact half his time he slept out. He did not sleep in the house. Everybody knew that the husband did not live with his wife. The mother was the caretaker for her son, who was the tenant, and the claimant was a drunken man who slept out in buildings. He did not live with his wife half his time. Mr Evans You are speaking of the past. Mr Lewis I am speaking of the man as he is at present.—Disallowed. At a later period Mr Evans said that Mr Lewis made such accusations against Latham that he thought the wife should have an op- portunity of refuting them. Mrs Latham was called and sworn. She said she was the wife of the claimant, William Latham, and she and her husband had rooms in the house of her son. She paid 5s. 6d. a week either in cash or service for the two rooms in the house. The Barrister: I don't understand. I don't like these things re-opened. Cross-examined by Mr Lewis She was not there looking after the house for the son. She rented two rooms for her husband and herself. Her husband was at harvest and could not at- tend there. He had a respectable home to go to, and he did go to it. He did not sleep out. Mr Lewis' claim on behalf of David Chilton Francis for a lodger's vote at his mother's house in Chapel sreet, was opposed by Mr Evans. Claimant's mother appeared, and said that her son occupied the front bedroom. She had a son who was an invalid, but he was dovsbifitalvs. The .claimant had been out of work, but paid her 16s. a week. Mr Evans He is a plasterer's labourer. Mrs Francis He is a plasterer by trade. Mr Lewis And gets £ 2 or k2 10, a week. The claim was allowed. George William Hawkins claimed a lodger vote in respect of rooms in his father's house. Mr Lewis objected. The claimant said that five children and his father lived at the house, and there were four bedrooms upstairs and one down. He had the one upstairs. His was a large room. The Barrister: It seems there are most capacious bedrooms in Newtown. Do you mean that you have a better room than the one occupied by the other two?—I have not the best room. The Barriser If you haven't got it, I don't see that you have one worth £ 10 at all. Mr Evans, submitted that if Mr Hawkins was staying with a stranger he could not get that room under the amount stated in the claim. The Barrister: I certainly don't think that sounds like a good claim.-Struck out. The Local Government list was then gone through, and Mr Lewis claimed votes for sev- eral persons who occupied gtir(lens.-IAi- Ev-iils objected on the ground that the buildings on the gardens were removable and not permanent structures. They were the property of the ten- ant occupying the gardens. Where the build- ings were permanent structures he admitted the claims. Mr Lewis was proceeding to state his claim when the Barrister said that there was no evi- dence. His (Mr Lewis') statement was not evidence. Mr Lewis then called Ben Morgan, who hap- pened to be in Court, and stated that the gar- pened to be in Court, and stated that the gar- den occupied by John Edwards, Broad street, had a. building in it with a brick foundation. Mr Evans asked that the witness bo sworn, and this was done. Witness then gave similar evidence of the nature of the buildings on other gardens, and notwithstanding the production by Mr Evans of photos of the buildings, which appeared ro be small summer houses, the votes were al- lowed. Mr Evans, however, made successful objec- tions to several other claims., MONTGOMERY. Mr Lloyd sat at Montgomery on Wednesday to revise the lists for the parishes of Aston. Ber- riew, Castlewright, Churelistoke, Forden, Hys- sington, Llandysioil, Montgomery, and Snead. Mr J. T. C. Gittins, solicitor, Newtown, represent- ed the Liberals, and Mr E. Evans, Welshpool, the Conservatives. Mr J. D. Rees, M.P., was also present. In the Berriew lists Mr Gittins objected to the claim of George Foster, a gamekeeper, on the ground that the house in which he resided was a service occupation. Mr Evans said this was not so, as Foster could reside elsewhere if he wished. It also transpired that the claimant was gamekeeper to the lessee of the shooting and not to the owner of his dwelling house.—The claim was allowed. Mr Gittins succeeded in his objection to the vote of Thomas Griffiths, of Berriew Mill, who was transferred to Division 2 as a service voter. Mr Gittins also objected to the votes of four brothers named Bore who live at Courthouse Farm, Churelistoke, on the ground that it must be proved that they were actually partners and not sureties for the rent. This necessary evi- dence was forthcoming in a letter from the I agent of the Mellington estate, and the votes r were allowed. ) In the revision of the lists for the Borough of Montgomery, Mr W. Lewis, Newtown, repre- sented the Liberals, and Mr E. Evans the Con- servatives. The Conservatives objected to the vote of Mr J. Bevsn as owner of premises in Princes street. Mr Gittins said that part of a shop was let to a tenafrt., The Revising Barrier asked for proof of value of the portion let, but this was not forth- coming, and the name was struck out. The vote of Mr Maurice Owen, J.P., in re- spect of the ownership of land was similarly ob- jected to, and the objecion sustained. The Liberals objected to the votes of two of the freemen, Aaron Watkin and Edward Weaver on the ground of non-residence, and both names were struck off. +

Kings (Shropshire Light Infantry) Surgeon- Major G. Hollies, M.D., having completed 20 years' service, to be Surgeon-Lieut-Colonel. 1st Shropshire and Staffordshire R.G.A. (Vols.) Second Lieutenants J. W. Hind, F. J. Mot- tram, and J. W. G. Morley to be Lieutenants. Colonel Charles G. C. Money, C.B., formerly in command of the 24th Regimental District, has voluntarily retired from the Army. Colonel Money's regimental service was with the North- umberland Fusiliers, which he joined in 1872. He commanded the 1st Battalion in the Soudan campaign of 1898; occupation of Crete, 1898- 99; and South Africt, 1899-1900. Colonel Sir Arthur William Mackworth, Bart., of Glen Uske, Caerleon, Monmouth, has been appointed honorary colonel of the 2nd Battalion South Wales Borderers. Sir Arthur joined the Royal Engineers in 1861, and served in the Egyptian campaign of 1882, for which he received a medal with clasp and the third class Order of the Medjidie. He was in command of the Royal Engineers in South Wales 1883-88 and West Indies 1888-91. From 1894 to 1899 he commanded the Royal Engineers at Alder- shot. The expected model scheme for the establish- ment of County Associations has just been pro- mulgated from Army headquarters. The scheme revives the ancient and practical interest in the Territorial Forces which until comparatively re- cent times was manifest in each county in the efforts of the Lord Lieutentant. Briefly the machinery now provided is intended to popular- ise military service by bringing the Army and the people in sympathetic and close touch. The chief points are- The Lord Lieutenant of a county is the ex- officio president of the association. The work of the association is to raise and maintain the force which constitutes the contri- bution of the county to the military division of the district in which the county is situated. The direction of the training and the supply of money for bringing the division and its vari- ous units into annual camp rests with the gen. eral officer commanding, who will also super- intend and be responsible for the training of the troops during the rest of the year. The work of the association is to raise the force either out of the units of the old auxiliary forces already existing, but adapted to the new plan, or de novo, or partly one and partly the other. An association will provide the necessary men, clothe them, provide the necessary drill halls, headquarters, store-houses, etc., provide sadd- lery and harness for their horses, and the rang- es for their instruction in shooting. It will look after the wives and families of its men when embodied, and arrange for the pay- ment of separation or other allowances provid- ed by the War Office when they are embodied. Each County Association will receive an an- nual grant from Army funds in support of its Territorial force in time of peace. This grant will be classified under four heads—a unit grant for administrative purposes a grant to defray the actual rent and repair or upkeep of build- ings connected with the force a grant to main- tain and replace equipment; and a travelling grant to defray transit to and from ranges and drill grounds during the non-training period. As no portion of the grant will be ear-marked for any particular purpose, each association will be enabled to apply its resources in a man- ner best calculated to ensure efficiency. At the annual shooting match of the Volun- teer Company at Ticehurst, near Tunbridge Wells, on Thursday last, a wedding ring was offered as a prize to the unmarried man making the highest score, on condition that the winner should marry within a year or return the ring. The successful competitor was the Colour-Ser- geant of the Company. -+-

COUGHS, COLDS, AND CHRONIC CHEST DISEASES ABSOLUTELY CURED BY VENO'S LIGHTENING COUGH CURE. Whatever symptoms a cough or cold may de- velop the fact remains that Veno's Lightning Cough Cure will rapidly and assuredly bring about a cure. This" pure, safe and effective family medicine," and certified to be such by W. Lascelles-Scott, F.S.Sc., is entirely different from and infinitely superior to other so-called cough cures in the shape of lozenges and pas- tilles, which contain gritty matter likely to in- jure the delicate throat membranes, and are for the most part of no practical value, except to ease the cough for the time being, and obvious- ly utterly useless in chronic chest troubles. Suf. ferers are strongly recommended to avoid all such worthless and often injurious preparations and to rely solely on Veno's Lightning Cough Cure, a remedy that has stood the test of time, and to-day stands higher in the public estima- tion than any other medicine. Veno's Lightning Cough Cure not only radi- cally and rapidly cures the most stubborn cough or cold, but strengthens the lungs, throat, and respiratory mechanism, gives per- fect ease in breathing, and is a certain remedy for bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, sore throat, hoarseness, whooping cough, and all chest and lung troubles. Veno's Lightning Cough Cure can be obtain- ed of all chemists and stores at 9^d., 1/1*, and 2/9, or post free from The Veno Drug Co., Cedar Street, Manchester.

TOWYN. GREAT SENSATION GOODS THROWN AWAY.- I Anyone looking at the windows of Manchester House will be astounded at the great bargains I offered during the Summer sale. Not only are the now noted maps given away, but summer goods likewise are sacrificed at ridiculous prices, to make room for new winter goods. — S. EDMUNDS, Proprietor. [Advt.

Mr Jones in his evidence eaid that for a peiiod of ten years, during which he had been schoolmaster, be had resided elsewhere. There was no agree- ment whatever between him and the Education Authority as occupier, saving a verbal one, and in the event of his being discharged from his position there was no obligation for him to leave the pre- mises. The claim was allowed. Mr R. Gnthrie Jones, on behalf of the Libera! Agen1-, lodged six objections which were sustained save one. This was that of Mrs J. C.

LLANIDLOES COUNTY SESSIONS.
LLANIDLOES COUNTY SESSIONS. These Sessions were held on Thursdav before Mr Edward Davies (chairman), Colonel J. Davies Jenkins, and Mr Gwilym Edmunds. D.C.C. Williams was also present. JURORS. The lists of jurors for the parishes of Llan- idloes Within and Without, Llangurig, and Tre- feglwys were presented by the assistant over- seers, and signed by the Bench. THE TREFEGLWYS TRAGEDY. PRISONER COMMITTED TO ASSIZES. Stephen Bennett Owen (17), of Iliriaeth, in the parish of Llanidloes, surrendered to his bail and was charged that on the 23rd inst he did feloniously kill and slay Alfred Owen, his nephew.—The evidence given at the inquest by the prisoner's brother and Dr Owen was repeat- ed, and appears elsewhere.—The case for the prosecution was taken by Supt Williams.—P.S. Lewis produced the voluntary statement made by the prisoner, which was as follows —" I had been around the fields with my brother, and was coming home carrying the gun. My nephew was in the window and he laughed, so I pointed the gun at him for a joke. I did not know that there was anything in it, so I pulled the trigger and the blow went off accidentally. I looked up at the window, but could not see him so I went to the house a.nd my brother had brought my nephew down. There I saw him, and that is all. I was frightened and went upstairs."— P.S.
