The MAYOR wrote applying on behalf of Mr Howell and himself for permission to place a small ornamental railing in front of 23. 24 and 2I, Marine Terrace. The reason, for the application concluded the letter, was evident to the members of the Coporation. Replying to Councillor William Thomas, the MAYOR stated that it was proposed erecting the railing with the view of preventing idlers leaning gainst the walls of the houses. Councillor HOPKINS proposed that the application be referred to the Public Works Committee. Councillor R. J. Jones seconded the proposition and it was agreed to. CORRESPONDENCE. A communication was read from Mr Arthur St John, Victoria Hotel, on behalf of a theatre company, asking the Mayor and Corporation to patronise a benefit concert to be held at the Pareezer Hall, and the request was acceded to.-An application was re- ceived from Mr R. J. Roberts. 1. Baker-street, asking the Council for the loan of the ballot boxes for the purpose of the election and the applicatio n was grant- ed.-A letter was read from Mr Aslett, general man- ager of the Cambrian Railway, in reply to the Committee's question whether the Company would instal the electric light at the station, in the event of the Council erecting a lamp outside at the entrance, stating that he would lay the matter before the Directors at their meeting to be held on the 8th.—A communication was received from the Local Govern- ment Board asking the Council what action they had taken as regards the sanitary condition of Penparke and as to the provision of a suitable hospital and dis- infecting apparatus.—A communication from the Chief Constable (Mr Howell Evans), enclosing a letter from a Mr Richards, of Birmingham, who alleged that Mrs Richards was knocked down on the Marine Terrace through the reckless driving of a donkey by one of the boys recently, was read stating that in consequence of the communication he had en- gaged an additional constable to look after the Marine Terrace. Councillor WM. THOMAS expressed a hope that the constable would pay special attendance to the boys who played on the promenade and those who walked I on the seats. Councillor R. J. JONES observed that no doubt it would be seen to and the matter was allowed to drop. I PUBLIC LIGHTS COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The report of this Committee was brought up by Councillor D. C. Roberts and recommended that the Council instruct the Surveyor to have the gas lamps removed form the piilars on the Marine Terrace also that an additional lamp be placed on Penparke Road. The report of Mr Preece on the electric lighting of the town was recommended to be adopted. Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS, referring to the recom- mendation that an additional lamp be placed at Penparke, thought the time had arrived, when the Council should take into consideration whether the gas main should not be extended into the village. He did not know whether the matter should be referred to a Committee or whether he would be in order in moving that four lamps should be placed on the Penparke road instead of one as recommended. If he was in order, he would propose that four lamps be substituted instead of one. Councillor JOHN WATKINS stated that he brought the matter forward at the Committee at the request of a number of the villagers, who said they would be satisfied if one lamp was placed somewhere near Coeden Fawr. Therefore, he thought four un- necessary. Relative to the recommendation respecting the gas lamps on the Marine Terrace, Alderman PALMER suggested that they ba cleaned and painted, adding that that would be better than having them removed. Councillor WILLIAM THOMAS thought the matter could be deferred as it was now summer time and there was no great hurry. Alderman WILLIAMS said he would allow the matter to drop, if Mr D. C. Roberts undertook the considera. tion ot the matter. Couccillor D. J. ROBERTS assented. He added that the expense would not be great inasmuch as there were pillars in stock and the lanterns could be obtained from the lamps on the Marine Terrace. The laying of the gas mains was a matter for the Gas Company. Councillor THOMAS GRIFFITHS thought that if the Council were going to place four additional lamps on the Penparke-road they might as well put eight in order to reach Rhydyfeliu. The borough would then be lighted up to the extreme end. Councillor THOMAS DOUGHTON-The sanitary con- dition of the place should be seea to before the lighting. Alderman PALMER (referring to the Marine Terrace gas lamps)—I think it would be much better to leave the lamps than remove them and have the pillars naked. (Laughter). Councillor WM. THOMAS agreed with Alderman Palmer that the lamps would present a better appear- ance if the lanterns were left on the pillars, but the wear and tear, he pointed out, would be exactly the same as if the lamps were used. Surely the Council were not going into the expense of repairing lamps which were not needed. They had contracted for the electric light for three years and the gas lamps were, therefore, not required. Councillor JOHN JENKINs-Supposing something happens to the electric light you will be left in dark- ness. Councillor ROBT. PEAKE remarked that Mr Jenkins was anticipating a thing which would not occur. Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS said the plant could break down at any moment. Alderman PALMER said that the Council would be taking work away from the lamplighters if the lamps were removed off the pillars. The cost f cleaning and painting would not be much. Alderman PETER JONES thought it would be pre- ferable to leave the lamps until the season was over. Councillor ROBERT DOUGHTON suggested that the matter be referred to the Committee, observing that there was no hurry. Alderman WILLIAMS-Th 1 is really my proposal that it be referred to a committee. Councillor ROBSRT PEAKE pointed out that there was one piilar on the Terrace which had been without a lantern for over three months. He thought all should be taken away. Eventually, the matter was referred back to the Committee. The recommendation relative to Mr Preece's report was adopted. PLAS CRUG JIEADOWS. In reply to Councillor R. J. Jones, the TOWN CLERK stated that be wrote to several volunteer corps in- forming them that the Council had land available for camping purposes, but he bad received no reply. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The report of the Public Works Committee was submitted, and was aa follows.—" Private Streets' Im- provements" The letter of Mr J. G. W. Bonsall, referred to this Committee from last Council meeting was considered, and your Committee were unanimous in recommending that the Borough Surveyor's appor- tionment of the expense of paving Windmill-court be adhered to. Marine Parade Your Committee in- structed the Borough Surveyor to place twelve seats of the same pattern as the seats now in use. and to fix the same on the Parade forthwith. Castle Grounds Resolved that two new seats be fixed on the Castle Grounds. New Road on Llanbadarn Meadows: Recommendation that the two iron seats now in stock be placed on the side of this road, also that a gate and turnstile be placed at the entrance of this road to prevent the cattle from ttraying thereon. Recom- mendation that the portion of Llanbadarn meadows lately occupied by the Royal Cardigan Artillery be retained in the hands of the Corporation for the purpose of allowing hay to grow thereon. In reference to the private streets improvements, Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS suggested that the Surveyor should draw out the estimates of the cost of improv- ing the various courts in town, with a view tu" com- pleting the work before the approach of winter. Alderman PETER JONES moved the adoption of the report, and it was agreed to. THE PROMENADE FLAGGING. Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS called attention to the glare caused by the Promenade flagging and asked if it was not pcssible to change the colour? Numerous com- plaints were made in regard to it. He suggested the use of some wash—even if it required renewal three times during the summer—in order to tone down the coiour. He proposed that the matter be referred to the Public Works Committee to do the necessary WAlderman PALMER seconded the proposition. Councillor ROBERT DOUGHTON suggested the use of liquid similar to that experimented with on a slab in North Parade, by Mr Evans, the chemist. It was of a dirk colour and appeared to answer its purpose. Captain DOUQHTON said that the Surveyor bad been instructed to make experiments on the concrete near one of the hast ions n the Promenade. He had heard of no result, however. The MAYOR thought chemicals should be cautiously aseda.s it spoiled the cement. Y, i Alderman PETER JONES said that the experiment had betn tried by a visitor on a slab near the Schco'i '11: .ç t Board, but the object was not attained. Mr Peake had an experiment to make. Councillor PEAKE observed that he would submit a sample of slab coloured by chemicals at the next meet- ing of the Public Works Committee. He would not guarantee it was a permanent colour. The MAYOR suggested that the opinion of Mr Scott should be obtained. He was an authority on such matters. The suggestion was agreed to. HARBOUR COMMITTEES RUPORT. The following report of the Harbour Committee was w brought up by Captain Douahton, and adopted :— Rotawr An application from Messrs A. J. Ellis and Co. to rent the stores on Rofawr was considered, and it was resolved that the application be granted on the terms hitherto paid by Captain Jenkins, viz., JE6 per annum. Messrs Ellis also applied for permission to erect a shed on Rofawr, and your Committee decided to request Messrs Ellis and Co. to submit plans of the proposed erection to your Committee for considera- tion. The Stone Pier and St. David's Wharf: The Borough Surveyor was instructed to repair the inner face of the Stone Pier and also St. David's quay wall." GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The report of this Committee was presented by Alderman W. H. Palmer, and was as follows Musical Selections: The application of Mr Thomas (Cryufryn-row), and party to give musical selections was considered, and your Committee recommend granting permission to play on the beach only, and during the pleasure of the Council. Beach Boatmen Your Committee having selected a badge with number, recommend that the boatmen be summoned to attend at the Town Hall at an early date to be fixefl by the Council, to receive their instructions for the ensuing season. Resolved that the following fees be charged for licences 1st class and sailing masters, 2s 6d 2nd do, 29. Hackney Carriages: Resolved that P.S. Davies be appointed inspector cf hackney carriage drivers, and boatmen, and your Committee recommend that the Chief Constable be asked to instruct the police constabJefl to pay special attention to the conduct of drivers of hackney can iages and boatmen. Salvation Army Complaints having bi-en made of the annoyance caused hy the meetings of the Salvation Army on the Marine-terrace on Sundays, your Com- mittee recommend that the resolution passed at a special meeting of the Council held on the 19th Sep- tember, 1893, be adhered to. Councillor PEAKE said that a paragraph had been omitted from the first recommendation, and that was that the party should not be allowed to play within ten yards of the parapet wall of the Promenade. He proposed that this ba inserted. Alderman PALMER seconded the proposition, which was agreed to. Referring to the next recommenda- tion, Captain DOUGHTON asked what were the qualifi- cations of the first class and second class sailing masters. Alderman PALMER replied that the Committee had been guided in the granting of the licenses to the boat- men by Captain Thomas, the harbour master. Alderman PETER JONES also said that Capt Thomas had been the expert to guide the Committee in these matters for many years. The recommendation was made on the suggestion of Captain Thomas. Captain DOUGHTON observed that tne explanation satisfied him. At first it was a mystery to him how a Committee, who had no nautical experience, could make such a recommendation. (Laughter.) Councillor ROBERT PEAKE believed that Captain Doughton knew perfectly well before asking the question, that Captain Thomas was the Committee's expert in these matters? ^Captain DOUGHTON replied in the negative, and both recommendations were then adopted. Alderman PALMER moved that the recommendation as regards the Salvation Army be adopted. He thought it unfair that the Army should be allowed to create a disturbance on the Promenade on Sundays whilst the Band was refused permission to play there. He asked the Clerk to refer to the resolution passed previously in regard to the Army. Councillor R. J. JONES thought it absurd that the I Council should call their attention to their own resolu- tion. No doubt instructions had been given in this matter, and he thought steps should have been taken to carry them out. # Councillor ROBERT PEAKE stated that something had been also left out of this recommendation, and it was that no one should be allowed to play on the Terrace unauthorised by the Council. Councillor R. J. JoxES thought that if the Council had power to deal with this matter they should enforce it. The Salvation Army had defied them. Alderman C. M. YVILLIAMS did not think the Salvation Army had set the Council at defiance. They asked that the same law administered to others should be administered to them. The TOWN CLERK read the resolution passed by the Council on the 19th September, 1893, which was to the effect that the Salvation Army should not be allowed to play on the Promenade. He addded that he had had several interviews with the Captain of the Army. who said that the Army would go there if the Band was allowed. Alderman PALMER thought theSalvation Army should not be allowed on the Terrace on Sundays auy longer. They were a nuisance and visitors complained. The noise made by them was unbearable. He could not s:and it. Councillor R. J. JONES-There was a splendid com- bination on Sunday. (Laughter). The MAYOR said he had more ground for complaint than Mr Palmer as they played opposite his house. He had hitherto failed to find them a name, but at that moment he had hit upon one, and that was A nondescript battalion of religious maniacs." (Loud laughter). Alderman PALMER proposed that proceedings be taken against them for obstruction. Cuncillor PEAKE seconded the proposition. Captain DOUQHTON said that if the Council were to prosecute some person would pay the fine if the Army were convicted. Councillor D. C. ROBERTS—All the better for the county funds. Captain DOUOHTON-No, I do not think it is all the better ior the county funds. I cannot see why we should proceed against them. They have as much right on the Terrace as anybody else. (" Qh !") Councillor HOPKINSSuppose I propose an amend- ment on this. (Laughter.) I do not want to knock the Army down at once. (Renewed laughter.) I would move that they be asked to move about the Parade as the niggers do and the Band. There are some people who like to hear the niggers-(Iaughter) and there are others who do not. Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS—The persons who go to religious places never grumble about them it is those who do not go. Councillor WILLIAM THOMAS felt that the Salva- tion Army asked for nothing further than was granted other persons. As other persons were not allowed to play on the Terrace on Sundays he believed the Sal- vation Army would fall in with the wishes of the Council to clear the Parade on Sunday*, Repeatedly the Army had stated that they wanted to be dealt with as others. Therefore let the Council take them at their word and refuse permission. Councillor R. J. JONES suggested that the Surveyor write to the Arrry requesting them to desist from the further holding of services on the Promenade on Sun- days. The MAYOR said that Mr Hopkins was in favour of multiplying evils whereupon Councillor HOPKINS remarked that he had been mis- understood. He did not mean that the Salvation Army should be allowed to play on Sundays on the Promenade, but on week days. The MAYOR hoped the Army would not fall in" as Mr Thomas suggested, but fall out and clear the Tei race. Councillor JOHN WATKINS suggested that the Town Clerk see the Captain of the Salvation Army relative to the m itter. Captain DOUGHTON did not see why the Army should be prevented when preachers were allowed to obstruct the Promenade on Sundays, Councillor R. J. JONES-If the Salvation Army is tolerated it will mean additional obstructions. Councillor PEAKE thought that if the Army was to be allowed on the Parade the Band should also have permission to perform on-Sundays. Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS believed they would keep away if asked to. The Tows CLERK suggested that all persons causing obstructions on Sunday evenings on the Promenade will be proceeded against. Councillor R. J. JONES moved this, and it was agreed to. The Mayor, at this stage, left; and Councillor Wm. j Thomas was voted to the chair. FINANCE COMMITTEE'S REPORT J The Finance Committee report was submitted and recommended the payment of jE221 3s. 8d. in respect of labour sheets and bills, and 9188 8s. 9d. half year's harbour annuities. The Committee also recommended harbour annuities. The Committee also recommended the granting of Mr Thomas Hopkins' application for a lease of apiece of land in Queen's-road for building three houses, at three shillings per foot frontage also the application of Mr D. C. Roberts for a renewal of the lease of a piece of land on Rofawr. In regard to the U.C.W. the Committee recommended that the sum of £:30, being three glo scholarships, be paid. They further recommended that a meter be lixed to register the water supply to the Steam Laundry and Electric Lighting Works. The Committee reported that the Borough Accountant was instructed to pre- that the Borough Accountant was instructed to pre- pare a iist of licensed premises on the Corporation Estate, and produce the same at the next Council meeting tnat the Towu Clerk submitted the following leasts, which were examined by the Com- mittee and passed :.Mr.,W.. J. (.Vtki'j.. No. o6, l .1 • C..J ..s«Y>;v i* • .1, North-parade Mr D. J. Lewis, No. 12, Corporation- street Mrs A. L. Williams, No. 54, Marine-terrace, and Mrs A. Jones, St. David's House, Marine-terrace. Councillor PEAKE asked if it was fair that 33. per foot be charged when 3s. 6d, should be the price. Tne Council granted Mr Griffith Williams the lease of a piece of ground in the Victoria-terrace at 4s. per foot frontage when the adjoining houses had to pay 5s., and that with the increased demand for building land. The CHAIRMAN explained that that piece of ground was in the market for a nun.ber of years and the Council, in order to strike a bargain decreased the charge. Councillor PEAKE thought the Council should hold periodical sales of any 'building sItes they had to dis- oppose. Aldermen PALMER thought that Mr Peake had not been informed that the building, sites of the whol e town had been revised. Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS said that Mr Peake had introduced a subject that day that had been suggested to the Council on repeated occassions. If sales were held the Council would be able to get market value for the sites. He would wish the Council to consider this matter. As regards the revision of the scale, which he believedjhad been mentioned, he might say that it was allowed to be the same for yens until re- cently when it was revised. The Committee s recommendation were then adopted. In reference to the list of licensed houses on the Corporation estate, Councillor R. J. JONES said he had the list before him. The CHAIRMAN asked if it was the Council's wish that they should be read out, whereupon. Councillor ROBERT PEAKS proposed that the list be allowed to lie on the table. Alderman WILLIAMS proposed that they be phced I on the agenda for the next Council meeting. Co"ncillor HOPKINS seconded the proposition and it was agreed to. Captain DOUGHTON did not see the use of putting them on the agenda. Did the Committee of two or three members expect that the officials would carry out their instructions, if they set at defiance all powers delegated to them by the Council ? He might say that it was not the business of the Council or his own that this list be aaked for now. On the 16th October a resolution was passed asking the Borough Accountant to prepare a list of the public houses and where situate on the Corporation estate and the Surveyor was instructed to prepare a list showing the class of house and submit to the next Council-that would be at the latter end of October-so that they could schedule off I the houses which were considered unnecessary. On the 2nd of April, he called attention to that matter when the application for a renewal of the lease of the Unicorn came on a second time in the name of Mrs John, being a sister of the first applicant. He then asked if the list was ever presented, and added at the time that he had not seen one, although he had attended every Council meeting. In May he again called the Council's attention to the matter. At the last meeting of the Council the Borough Accountant accused him that he (the speaker) had never asked for the list. He stated that he had and he made a remark that it might have been overlooked through the care- lessness or neglect of the Borough Accountant and Surveyor. The Accountant said it was not through his carelessness or neglect. If that was so, what was it ? Was it defiance ? If it was not through neglect or carelessness that the list was not submitted, he inferred that the officials set the Council at defiance. He did not know whether the officials were backed up by any body. He replied to an accusation against him. If the officials would defy the Council, he thought the Council should resign and let the town be governed by the officials. The BOROUGH SURVEYOR asked that the resolution of the 16th October be read, so as to clear him. He did not think his name was mentioned at all, in the preparation of this list. The TOWN CLERK complied and read the resolution which was as follows "Resolved that the Borough Accountant be instructed to prepare a list of the public-houses owned by the Council and present the same at a future meeting of the Council." The Town Clerk added that the following words initialled by the Mayor were struck out on the minute book That the Council should schedule all those houses, the renewal of whose licences they considered un- necessary in the interest of the town." He did not know whether the newspapers contained the altera- tion which was made nearly at the termination of the Council business. Replying to the Chairman, the BOROUGH ACCOUNTANT said he had nothing to say further than that he was sorry that he was the inno- cent cause of all the commotion. (Laughter). Captain DOUGllTON observed that he was pleased to hear Mr Evans say that still he thought Mr Evans should not have accused him in the spirit he did at the previous meeting. The report was then formally adopted. APPLICATION REFUSED. An application from Messrs Hoskin and Miller for a lease of a piece of land near Plas Crug House for the purpose of erecting enamelled slate works. was refused on the proposition of Alderman PETER JONES, seconded by Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS. APPLICATIONS FOR RENEWAL OF LEASES. Applications for the renewal of the lease of their premises in North Parade and Terrace-road by Misses Owen, and of the lease of Cooper's Arms and a piece of land in JN orthgate-street by Alderman D. Roberts, were referred to the Finance Committee. SURRENDERS. Surrenders from Mr W. J. Watkins, 56, North- Sarade David John Lewis, 12, Corporation-street; Irs Anne Jones, 63, Marine-terrace; Mrs A. L. Williams, 54, Marine-terrace, and from Mrs Mary A. Jones, 29, North-parade, were accepted, and new leases granted them. THE GASWORKS-PROPOSED PURCHASE BY THE COUNCIL. The last item on the agenda was a motion standing in the name of Alderman Peter Jones, which was as follows That it is desirable to appoint a committee to take into consideration the advisability of the Cor- poration purchasing the Gas Company's undertaking." In proposing it Alderman JONES, referring to the recent application of the Gas Company for a renewal of the lease of the gas works, said the question naturally arose whether this was not the proper time to take into consideration the advisability of purchasing the gas works. From the statement made on behalf of the Company at a meeting of the Finance Committee held a fortnight ago, it appeared that the Company was not in a position to meet the demand of its cus- tomers for the supply of gas, and that it was necessary in consequence to enlarge the works. The position of the Council in the matter he understood was this. Under the Act of 1836, power was then obtained by the Commissioners for the erection of a Gas Works, and the question was moved in 1872. When the Cor- poration obtained powers for the Water Works, they also went in for authority to purchase the Gas Works and terms were arrived at with the Gas Company. Under the new Act he believed the Council had power to purchase tho Gas Works. He believed in 1873 that power was conferred upon them with reference to the purchase of the Gas Works. Practically they would see that it was contemplated in the first instance by the Commissioners, if their financial position allowed it, to purchase the Gas Works. They confirmed that iu 1877, and seemed to be approved by the Company themselves. It seemed to him an opportune time to con- sider the matter. Ha thought they would all agree with him it was desirable that the Gas Works should be vested in the Council. He had pleasure in propos- ing the motion at it appeared on the agenda. Alderman DAVID ROBERTS seconded the motion. Captain DOUGHTON thought the question one for the consideration of the whole Council and not a Commit- tee. Alderman PETER JONES pointed out that a small Committee would be able to elicit much more informa- tion than a large one. He proposed that Councillors John Watkins, E. P. Wynne, Robert Peake, Alder- man 0. M. Williams and himself be appointed to con- stitute the Committee for the purpose of the motion. Councillor ROBERT DOUGllTON seconded the proposi- tion which was agreed to. THE NEW COMER. Councillor HOPKINS asked upon what Committees Mr Wynne was to be appointed, he being a new coun- cillor. The TOWN CLERK said he would place the matter on the agenda for th next meeting, and the subject then dropped. WINDOW AWNINGS. Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS called attention to the window awnings which were left out all day and night, and suggested that the Surveyors request the shopkeepers to take them down when not needed. He had heard several complaints made that they lent an untidy aspect to the town when left out. Alderman PETER JONES suggested that circulars be printéd requesting all shopkeepers to take down th-e window awnings when not required. The suggestion was agreed to. The Council then rose, PETTY SESSIONS, FRIDAY, JULY 3RD.—Before C. M. Williams, Esq. (in the chair) J. J. Griffiths and Griffith Williams, Esq.

LLANBADARN FAWR.
LLANBADARN FAWR. PETTY SESSIONS, THURSDAY, JUE 27TH.Before J. T. Morgan, Esq., Nantceirio (iu the chair) Captain Hughes Bonsall and Nicholas Bray, Esq. Improperly Protected Mine Shafts.— Henry Jenks, Garden Lodge, Kuabon, was summoned by C. L. N. Foster, inspector °f mines, for having neglected to cause the tops of seven shafts on his property at Cwmbrwyno to be securely covered e Prevention of accidents.—Mr R. Mostyn Roberts, ^olicitor, Carnarvon, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr W. Hughes Jones defended.—Assistant Inspector Williams, Bangor, was first called and described the fencing of the shaft as totally inadequate to meet the requirements of the Act of Parliament. The photographs produced correctly represented the state of things when he visited the mines beforeMay 20th. There was no fencing at all on the occasion when he visited the place before May 20th. There was a path running close by one of the shafts and the fencing was such that there was nothing to indicate that there was a shaft there at all. As an expert he could say that it was far more dangerous than iflit had not been covered at all. The Cwmbrwyno Mine was offered for sale on May 20th, and witness produced newspaper cuttings advertising the sale.—Witness was then cross-examnied by Mr Hughes Jones. He said he had visited several other mines in the district but had not come across a fencing like that before. He would say a proper fcnce should consist of a stone wall or iron hurdles. He did not call the path a sheep path, but he could not say where it led to. On the out side of the shafts there was a small railing, and while it stood it would prevent a person or animal in the dark from falling down the shaft.— John Owen Jones, assistant inspector of mines, corroborated the first witness's statement as to "the state of the fencing.—Cross-examined by Mr W. Hughes Jones, he said he did not give notice to the defendant. His duty ended after reporting to Inspector Foster.—Inspector Foster said he bad been authorised by the Home Secretary to take these proceedings. He received the report w,ith refer- ence to the shafts when he was in London and he did not give notice until he came home. The giving of notices was merely a matter of courtesy, and was uot necessary under the law. i ne tencing he would recommend was an iron railing or anything that would resist the weather. He, on one occasion, saw timber stolen from the mouth of a shaft, and after it had all gone the persons who had stolen it came up to him saying that timber was very scarce and begging him to see that the shaft was properly fenced with timber again. The Inspector added that this was not in Wales. (Laughter). —Cross-examined, witness said he had visited this mine some years ago, and the fencing then was pretty good. He would not have taken proceedings if the shafts had been properly fenced after the notice had been served.—This was the case for the prosecution.—Mr Hughes Jones having addressed the Bench, called H. Jenks, the defendant, to give evidence.—Witness stated that he received the notice on the 15th April and had since made the shafts perfectly secure. The fencing was just the same now as when the Inspector visited it some years ago. Cross-examined by Mr Roberts The shafts were fenced on the Friday and Saturday before the 20th May. He had received notice some years ago and had then fenced it in the same way as he had done now. That fencing he supposed had decayed. No person had a right near the shafts. The road was about 100 yards away. He did not fence before the 18th May because he found it difficult to get men. He did not fence then because the sale was on the Monday.—John Owen mine agent, and Thomas Jones, carpenter, Capel Bangor, gave evidence as to the state of the covering and the shafts.—The Bench decided that the defendant was to con- struct a fencing to the satisfaction of the Inspector, and in- flict a fine of 2s (id and costs for each shaft and defendant also to pay the costs. Occasional Licence.— Mr D. M. Davies applied for an occasional licence for the Elysian Grove on dancing nights.— The Chief Constable objected to the granting of the licence for any|but special occasions.

The Goflerddan Lodge Case.—Isaac Jones, Ystumtuen, Pont- erwyd, and David Daniel, New Row, Pouterwyd, were again brought up charged by the trustees of the Gogerddan Lodge of Oddfellows, No. 5750, with having stolen bank cheques, the property of the Gogerddan Lodge, and converting the said property to their own use. They were also charged with having conspired and agreed by false pretences to cheat and defraud divers companies and persons, viz., the National Provincial Bank, Limited, and the Gogerddan Lodge, and David Davies and John Thomas and Hugh Morgan, their respective trustees others, between May, 1888, and January, 18^—Mr R. Geddes Smith appeared for the trustees* *ud A. J. Hughes appeared on behalf of Isaac Jones, Daniel being undefended.—Mr Perrott, N.P. Bank, Aberystwyth, produced bank cheque books of the Lodge, He also produced voucher cheques and authorities in writing. He said his general practice was to cash cheques signed by the Treasurer when authorized by the Secretary. Those cheques were signed in the bank.—Cross-examined by Mr Hughes He did not know when the pass books were returned as no record was kept of the returns to the bank. An entry was made when the pass books were given out. He had no other documents besides those he had produced that day.—Mr H. L. Evans. Aberystwvth, produced a cheque voucher, dated March 7th, 1893, belonging to Aberystwyth Town Council and payable to accused Daniel. He also produced mortgage bonds from the Aberystwyth Corporation with a letter attached signed by one of the trustees.—The Court then adjourned for half an hour.—After resumption, Mr Smith having addressed the Bench at some length, called William Rowlands, Fenrhenrhiw, who identified a cheque shown him as in the handwriting of Isaac Jones. He remembered going with several other members of the Lodge to see the accused Daniel at his house in the month of February, 1894. Ac- cused Isaac Jones was also present. They asked Daniel what had become of the money that was missing, and he re- plied that he had lent some of the money to Isaac Jones, and Isaac Jones said nothing in reply to this, but only laughed at him. Daniel .asain asked_ Jones when he was going to pay the money, which he had given him to pay insurance money, back, and the accused Jones said Why did you not ask me for them at that time" to which the other replied" You were in need at that time." He also remembered going to the N. P. Bank in company with Isaac Jones about the beginning of 1891 to draw money out for the Lodge. Wit- ness asked the Manager of the bank (Mr Perrott) what the Lodge funds amounted to and was told to look at the bank parcel book (produced). Witness afterwards asked the accused Jones where the reilt of the money was.—Mr A. J. Hughes, interrupting, said be thought it his duty to say that if a solicitor had been engaged for Daniel he would object to the whole of that evidence.—Mr Smith contended that this evidence did not concern Daniel at all.—The Bench ruling in favour of Mr Smith's contention, Mr Hughes asked that a note should be taken of his objection. Continuing witness said that Issac Jones replied that there was only £5i) missing and that he would get it back again. He was present at the lodge meeting in March, 1891, when both defendants were jjresent. Daniel then repeated the statement he had made before'. The accused Jones said nothing in reply. He saw Jones on the following day when he stated that his (Jones) wife had reminded him the night before that he had borrowed £ 6 from the accused Daniel, but that he would never confess to receiving the other money.— David Davies, Dyffryn Castell, one of the trustees of the lodge in 1892, said he had signed the letter (produced) addressed to Mr H. L. Evans when he was in Cwmrheidol y two years Jones persuaded nun to sign by saying that the Aberystwyth Corporation were then pay- ing out all small mortgages owing. Witness corroborated the evidence of last witness as to what took place between Daniel and Jones It the former's house and also in in the lodge meeting March, 1894.-Cross-exaniined by Mr A. J. Hughes Accussed Isaac Jones did not show him a letter he had receivedfrom Daniel. He only said that he had received a letter irom him to the effect that they were required to go to Aberystwyth on the following day to receive Corporation money. When Isaac Jones denied that he had received money from Daniel, the later did not show any .receipts but said he had them.-Here the defendant Daniel got up and said he had them with him that day in court.— Richard H. Jones, Bychnant, who also corrobor- ated the last witnesses's statements concerning the conversation between the two defendants about the missing money.—In cross-examination witness said that Daniel said that he had taken the money and not borrowed it. He admitted it was possible that he had forgotten the exact word. Being asked why he happeneo to 1>3 different to the other witnesses on that point, witness replied that he heard the conversation through his own ears, and not through the other witnesses' ears.—John Howells was called, and corroborated the lirst two witnesses' statements.—David Davies, clerk to Mr Hugh Hughes, stated that he wa.^ appointed to go through the accounts of the Lodge. He examined the night book, pence book, cash book, and the treasU'l"ilápd secretary's bank ( books, and found a deficiency of X134. There found an entry of interest alleged to have been received from the Bank (meaning the N.P. Bank) of zc9 10-3. 9d„ while the bank pass book showed the interest to amount to £1 8s. 2d —Cross- onSedA )5^lIrutll!Sb^:x.He]asked ih' Mor^n, district auditor, Machynlleth, if the bank paS3 book had been delivered up to him, and he replied that he had not seen it. He could not say whether Isaac Jones had ever seen it-Mr A. J. Hughes then addressed the Bench, saying the accused tu^ y bee,1..c:omr')lt^d ou the charge of falsification, and they were willing to face it like men. hut he begged of them not to further tie their hands by committing them on a charge of conspiracy of which there was noevidence.-After deliberation the Bench committed the accused to take their trial at the Quarter Sessions on the charges of conspiracv the other charge being dismissed.-The accused Daniel being asked if he had anything to say, he produced receipts fro-- Mr Pierce,.Guarantee Society, which he said would s'bow that asked ifhe had anythiigto say, he produced receipts fro-- Mr Pierce,.Guarantee Society, which he said would s'bow that there was only a balance of £17 due from him, and that he had other receipts for the £ 17.
