Breese, Richard Rees, R. Gillart. John Rowlands, clerk; J. Humphreys, surveyor; and Dr. A. O. Davies, medical officer; Lord Henry Vane Tempest wrote regretting being unable to attend. Registration districts. A letter was reao: from the Local Govern- ment Board relating to the proposed alteration of the sub-districts of Machynlleth registra- tion district. The proposal of the Registrar General is to make the sub-districts co-exten- sive with the relief districts and the Board of Guardians have acquiesced to the alteration. The Clerk explained that Machynlleth would now be a distinct sub-district, but there would be some inconvenience for Penegoes people to go to Llanbrynmair for purposes of registra- tion. That was a matter, however, for the Guardians of those districts to consider.—On the proposition of Mr Henry Lewis, seconded by Mr J. M. Breese, it was agreed to call the Guardians' attention to the hardship caused to people at Penegoes and Llamvrin, seeing that Machynlleth was so convenient for them -at present. Education. The Board of Education wrote acknowledg- ing the resolution passed by the Council that they did not propose to exercise their powers under the Education Act to form an Education Committe. Markets. The Clerk stated' that the Board of Agri- culture asked for a reply to their enquiry of January 14th as to whether any action had been taken in regard to Machynlleth fairs in order to comply with the requirements of the Acts. No reply had been sent, but it ap- peared that it was not necessary to comply with the Acts in the case of Machynlleth. He suggested that the matter should be i-efori-eci to the Markets Committee.—This was agreed to. M ain Roads. With respect to the Council's application for a contribution from the County Council toward the maintenance of the main roads, it was stated that the matter would me con- sidered at the next meeting of the County Council.—Mr D. C. Davies said the Councili should no longer go begging before the County Council. For years thev had paid £ 200 for the roads which ought to be paid by the county He proposed that the Committee should take early steps in the matter so as to prepare for next yvar's estimate.—Mr Gillart seconded the proposition and said he agreed with what Mr Davies had said. The Council ought to deal with the matter at once because they would find that it would bear very much on the annual -estimate.—Mr Richard, Rees stated that he intended to make a strong case on behalf of the application at the County Council.—The proposition was carried. Surveyor's Report. On the Surveyor's recommendaton, com- mittees were appointed respecting a sewer in Glyndwr yard and the cleaning of the reservoir The Rates. The Clerk reported that in the present cir- cumstances he was endeavouring to collect the rates on behalf of the Council. He had written to those who had not paid and be- tween L28 and £ 30 had been paid to the Treas- urer.—On reading the minutes of the special meetings last week with regard to the collec- torship, Mr D. C. Davies suggested that the appointment of surveyor assistant overseer, and collector should be joined together. That would mean more efficiency and greater sav- ing.—Mr J. M. Breeze pointed out that the Council had made some arrangement with the Guardians and he thought they had better defer the question until the Guardians met.— It was decided to defer the appointment of inspector, surveyor, assistant overseer, collec- tor and waterworks keeper. Medical Officer. In his annual report, the Medical Officer stated that the population of the district was 2,038. Births numbered 48, an increase of 12 over last year. There were 33 deaths, 8 less than the previous year and, after deducting two fatalities made a rate of 15.2 per 1,000. In the summer there were nineteen deaths due to unprecedented wet weather. With excep- tion of the year 1900, it was the lowest rate since he was medical officer. Seven deaths were due to consumption, making a rate of 3.4 per 1,000. That was a matter for the Coun- cil's grave consideration when they considered the healthy conditions of the district. He was glad to find that the laity were beginning to realize that consumption was both prevent- able and curable. A sanatorium for its treat- ment should be provided for the county anc. he suggested that the Council should approach the County Council with a view of having the matter taken up. The erection of a sanator- ium in that part of the county would be a saving in the long run, not to speak of the comfort and happiness produced by the dim- inution of the terrible disease. In the course of further remarks dealing at some length with various matters, including pig styes, side walks, and slaughter house, the Medical Officer hinted that the holding of fairs in the streets should be stopped. He expressed his thanks to the Council for what had already been done.—On the proposition of Mr Hy. Lewis, it was agreed to refer the report to the Streets and Sanitary Committee.—Mr Richard Rees proposed a vote of thanks to the Medical Officer for his exhaustive report which, he said, covered the whole sanitation of the town. He remarked that the death-rate was lower than it had been for the past nine years and was two per cent below that of England and Wales. Fifteen persons had died over sixty- five years of age and two over ninety years The deaths from consumption were very high and, but for them, the district death-rate would be exceedingly low. He thought that matter should be seriously considered by the Council. He was sorry to find from the re- ports prepared by the County Council that the rural district of Machynlleth was the worst in the county. Referring to the estab- lishment of a sanatorium, he thought it would be the best course to take and it would, no doubt, check the aisease. There were several points in the report which could be taken up by the Committee.—Mr R Gillart seconded the proposition and said the Council could con- gratulate themselves upon a good report on the state and health of the town generally. He hoped the report would not be forgotten and that the Committee would go thor- oughly into the matters suggested. It ap- peared to him that the Medical Officer had alluded to very important matters which should receive the Council's serious consideration dur- ing the coming year.—The Chairman support- ing the resolution, said the report was very exhaustive and covered the whole ground. It was a matter of satisfaction that the death- rate was the lowest since the Council was established. When the Council came into force the death-rate was far highter than at present. There were several matters in the report which, at any rate, should ensure the Council's efforts to remedy them. The sani- tation of the town was not what it should be, notwithstanding the low death-rate, and the Council should not discontinue the good work already done. Several complaints were re- ported upon from time to time and required immediate consideration. When the Medical Officer's recommendations had been acted upon he expected that another decrease in the death- rate would be reported next year.—Tho pro- position was carried and it was agreed that the report should be printed.—A discussion arose as to whether certain portions of the report should be printed' and Mr D. C. Davies thought the Medical Officer had exceeded his duty in reporting upon the side-walks and other matters. Ihe Medical Officer explained that he was bound to renort upon these mat- fers for the County Council and the Local Gov- ei-nment Board.—On the proposition of Mr E. Rees. seconded by Mr Henry Lewis, the Medi- cal Officer was reappointed. Overseers. Messrs Rhys Lewis and Thomas Parsons were elected overseers. The Clock, Mr B. Pearce was re-appointed clock-winder and attention was called to the fact that the CiOck had not been chiming for some time.

There was an in- crease of fifty-five in the number of vagrants relieved. Overseers.—A letter from the Urban Council stated that Messrs .Henry Lewis and Thomas Parsons had been appointed overseers for Machynlleth parish. The House.—It was agreed to invite tenders for improvements recommended at the House by the Lunacy Commissioners. Mr. D. Gil- lart who had prepared plans of the work re- quired, was accorded a vote of thanks Re-Appointments.—The re-appointments of Dr. Matthews as medical officer for Machyn- lleth (outlying) district, Dr. W. R. Williams for Penegoes. and Dr. Edwards for Lhmbrvn- mair, were confirmed. The Assistant Matron ;md Assist. Porter were also re-appointed. ¡ i he hur: 1" Topic.—The Clerk read a letter from the L Council requesting the Board to apply to i«e Local Government Board to rescind an of June 1856. The Council fel: if that v. done it woijdd greatly facilitate matters. lerk also reported v the result ot the conf« i held between delegates from tho 'iuardian.- aid the Council last hk. In rac of the request he explained that Board h already advertised and received applications the post, but th conference arranged r, ith a view of combining the offices. As u result of the conference the Council requested the Board to have the Order rescinded so chat they could have their way clear for the ..ppointment.—Mr. J. H. Evans proposed proceeding with the appointment and was seconded by Mr. R. Morgan and Mrs Ihomas.—An dmendment that the Council's request should be granted was proposed by W. Jon, s who referred to the advantages which would follow if the power was vested in the Council.—The amendment was seconded by Mr. Lewis Lewis.—Mr, Richard Hughes said the Guardians had done no injury to the Council, only they had not tflkerJ advantage of tho Board's offer. If the appointment was delayed longer how would the rates be collec- ted P—Mr. R. Gillart said the best thing to do, and it would relieve the Guardians, was to adopt the Council's recommendation. It was a matter pertaining to the town and it was a question whether the combination of the offices would not be a saving to the ratepayers. The Council intended unifying certain offices which were now vacant and if the appointment was transferred to them there would be no delay as the Clerk had been instructed to call a special meeting.—Mr. Edward Hughes said the conference felt it was desirable if the pro- position was carried that the appointment should be deferred with a view of making ar- rangements to combine the two offices.—Mr. Edward Jones said he failed to understand why the Urban Council could not fall in with the Guardians. He did not think the Guar- dians should fall in with the Council, who had not availed themselves of the opportu- nity offered them.—Mr. Edward Hughes pointed out if the Guardians proceeded to ap- point they would be actually ignoring the Ur- ban Council. There should be some friendly feeling between the two bodies.—Mrs. Thomas said she could not understand why the Guar- dians should fall in again with the Council, who had had perfect fair play.—Mr. D. Gil- lart said if the Guardians knew what they did know now they would have left the appoint- ment with the Council. He was of opinion that the Council's request should be granted. He did not say there had been a mistake, but there was some misunderstanding.—On being put to the vote. six voted for the amendment, ;md thirteen for the proposition, which was declared carried. — Mr. Edward Hughes then proposed another amendment, that the Urban Council should be requested to appoint a com- mittee of five to meet a similar committee from the Guardians and submit names for the appointment of assistant overseer.—The amendment was seconded by Mr. M. E. Fran- cis.—Mr. Edward Jones proposed that the original proposition should be adhered to, but on being put to the meeting the amendment was carried by a large majority. The follow- ing were appointed as committee Messrs. Ed- ward Hughes. E. M. Jones, Edward Jones, and M. E. Francis. The Committee after meet- ing the Council representatives will report to the Guardians, who will meet in a fortnight, when the appointment will be decided upon. Appointment of Registrar.—Three applica- tions were received for the post of registrar of births and deaths in the place of the late Mr. Lewis Williams.-—On the proposition of Mr. Edward Hughes, seconded by Mr. Edward Jones, Mr. D. Morgan, assistant clerk to the Board, was unanimously appointed.

A SHIPBUILDING CONTRACT. ABERAYRON SOLICITOR'S APPEAL ALLOWED. On Thursday in the Court of Appeal, com- posed of the Master of the Rolls and Lords .Justices Romer and Matthew, the hearing was continued of the case of Bertram and Sons v. Lloyd, on the appeal of the defendant from the judgment of Mr. Justice Bruce in the King's Bench Division. The plaintiffs, who are shipbuilders of Sunderland brought an ac- tion against Mr. R. J. Lloyd, a solicitor of Swansea, formerly of Aberayron, to recover £7,144 by way of damages for alleged breach of a contract dated July 16, 1901, by which the defendant agreed to purchase and the plaintiffs to build a steamer for £40,175. The defendant, on his part, it was admitted, ne- glected to carry out the contract, and re- quired the plaintiffs to sell the ste,amee for the best price that could be obtained,^and agreed that the balance of loss on the resale should be paid by him to the plaintiffs. It was the amount of that loss, less £31 which the defen- dant had already paid, that the plaintiffs sought to recover by this action. In defence. it was pleaded that the defendant was entitled to treat the contract as not binding upon him en the ground that the plaintiffs surreptitiously and without the knowledge and in fraud of the defendant, agreed to pay to a Mr. Thos. Campbell, who acted as agent for defendant in the transaction, a percentage by way of com- mission on the purchase price of the steamer. The plaintiffs in reply said that Campbell acted as far as they knew as broker only, and that the commission of one per cent. which they had agreed to pay him was nothing more than the customary commission payable by the seller of a ship to the broker who intro- duced the purchaser. Mr Justice Bruce found that the defendant, with full knowledge of all the facts relating to the dealings between the plaintiffs and Campbell, chose to approbate his contract with plaintiffs, and that there- fore on that ground he could not now claim rescision of the contract Judgment, was ac- cordingly entered for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed with costs, hence the present appeal. The defendant argued his own case in sup- port of the appeal, contending that the deci- sion of Mr. Justice Bruce was against the weight of evidence. He denied that he had any knowledge of the agreement between the plaintiffs and Campbell, and said that had he known of it he would have repudiated the con- tract between himself and Messrs. Bertram. Mr. Powell. K.C. (with him Mr. A. Roche) for the plaintiffs, said that when a ship was sold through a broker, the broker being em- ployed by the buyer of the ship, it was the universal custom that the broker was remu- nerated by the shipbuilder. Lord Justice Matthew said that if that were so there was no reason to suppress the fact, but it was a custom the courts of law had never tolerated, and he hoped they never would. Mr. Powell replied that the plaintiffs could not help themselves, as the custom was too strong for them. They were bound to pay commission just as insurance companies had to pay agents and underwriters and so on. Plaintiffs did not know that Campbell was employed in any other capacity than as broker at the time in question. The reason they eliminated the commission from the tender in this case no doubt wras that it was desirable to have all the tenders on the same basis. Camp- bell might not have wished it to be known what the rate of commission was, but with that the plaintiffs had nothing to do. The learned counsel then contended, on the other part of the case, that Mr. Lloyd had elected to adopt the contract after he knew the facts, and that therefore the judgment of Mr. Justice Bruce ought not to be interfered with. Without calling upon Mr. Lloyd for a reply, the Master of the Rolls gave judgment. He said that Mr. Justice Bruce had held in effect that the agreement between the plaintiffs and Campbell whereby the plaintiffs agreed to pay Campbell commission debarred the plain- tiffs from suing the defendant on the contract. but he held that in the circumstances which took place after the breach, the plaintiff with full knowledge of the facts, confirmed the contract. It was perfectly clear law that for a person to make valid confirmation of a con- tract which was void he must have full know- ledge of the facts. Mr. Justice [Bruce had ex- pressed the opinion that Mr. Lloyd had full knowledge of the facts after the breach, and had confirmed the contract. In his (the Mas- ter of the Rolls) judgment there was no evi- dence to support that view, and he believed that Mr. Lloyd had not full knowledge of the facts and of the arrangements made between plaintiff and Campbell at the inception of the matter. For these reasons he thought the appeal should be allowed. The Lords Justices concurred, and the appeal was accordingly allowed with costs, the plain- tiffs' action being dismissed also with costs.

LLANO> County Council Election.—Though rumours bE mysterious strong Liberal candidates were numerous within the district the week before th« nomination day, it turned out after all that only Mr. J. Price, Morfa Mawr, the pro- gressive candidate selected, as reported al- ready, at the parish meeting called for that purpose, was nominated. Thus for once in the history of the Llansantffraid district, a county councillor has been returned unopposed. Temperance Union.—During the week a mis- sion was held in the Llanon District. The Rev. Morris Morgan will visit Cross Inn, Pen- rhiw, Rhiwbwys, and Llanon. W,i oil. lie, work of draining and levelling this common is rapidly pushed forward by the contractor, Mr. David Davies, 1, Bridge- street. Scholarship Examination.—The results of the examination last December has been made known and Mr. J. D. Lewis, Miss E. Evans, Miss E. M. Evans, and Miss F. Evans, have all been successful to pass the examination.

ccUhktics FOOTBALL. LAMPETER COI LEGE v. CARDIFF UNIVERSITY. A match betwecn Lampeter College and Car- diff College was played at Lampeter on Satur- day. The ground was in a bad condition owing to the rain and a recent game being played thereon, but still a very fast game was wit- nessed. The teams were as follows :-Lampc. ter Full back. D. Bailey Davies; three-quar- ter backs, Tommy Williams, Bond, Bill Jones' D. P. Davies; half-backs, Syd Jones and Carne Williams; forwards, D. R. Davies (captain), B. G. L. AVilliams, E. M. James. Jim Davies, Walters, and three others. Cardiff: Full back, J. M. James; three-quarters, Treharne, Rich- ards, Cule, and Emmanuel half-backs, Jim Jones, and Grey Morgan forwards, Llewelyn, Hawkins, Griffiths, Jones, J. W. Thomas, H. G. AVilliams, T. Morgan. W. H. C. Morgan. Referee: Mr. J. S. Jones, W.F.U. Cardiff won the toss and < looted to play against the wind. B. G. L. Williams kicked off for Lampeter. Treharne's return was charged down and the homesters assumed the aggressive. Cule saved well for his side. A free kick for Cardiff relieved matters and Jim Jones, intercepting a pass of the home inside half, ran down the field and scored a clever try, which was not improved upon. The home- sters were now penned in their own territory and the visitors were unfortunate in not scor- ing. The Cardiff halves were playing a splendid game and if the forwards had sent it out oftener the score would have been otherwise. The home front rank, however, were superior and the two tries scored in the second half were obtained mainly through their work. The Lampeter third line played well and if they had received the ball oftener would have given a better account of themselves. The two tries for Lampeter were obtained by Walters and B G. L. Williams. The final score was—Lampe- ter College 2 tries; Cardiff College 1 try. LAMPETER COLLEGE v. LLANELLY This match was played at Lampeter on Mon- day and was witnessed by a large crowd. The visit of the Llanelly team in the past had almost always proved disastrous to the Col- lege, but on this occasion it may safely be said that the College team played a better game than their opponents. Play was for the most part of the first half in the visitors twen- ty-five, and Tommy Williams had hard lines in not scoring on several occasions. Llanelly went to the homesters line for the first and only time of the half, when Morgan Williams scored a try. which Bob Richards converted. In the second half the visitors were kept in their own twenty-five all through except on one occasion when they crossed the half-way line. Tommy Williams scored just on time, B. G. L. Williams converting, but the referee disallowed what appeared to be a fair goal. On the day's form the best team lost. Bailey Davies played a grand game. Final Score:- LLANELLY 1 goal. LAMPETER 1 try.

IMPROVEMENT ON THE OPEN AIR TREATMENT. The folowing letter, translated from Welsh addressed to Messrs Morris Evans and Co., Festiniog, the well-known manufacturers of Household and Cattle Oils, explains itself:- To MESSRS MORRIS EYANS AND Co., Brynbanwy, Llangadfan, Welshpool. Dear Sirs, I feel it my duty, for the sake of those who suffer from this painful affliction, to give testi- mony to my complete cure from CONSUMPTION, and this through using your HOUSEHOLD OIL. From the end of the year 1901 to the middle of 1902 I was under treatment by one of the best doctors in Great Britain, through whom I derived strength in several ways, but still the GERMS remained and were doing their work. I also consulted Specialists. In June, 1902, I was (through the kindness of Arthur Chamberlain, Esq., Birmingham) sent to the VENTNOR CONSUMPTIVE HOSPITAL, Isle of Wight, where for 10 weeks I underwent Agent for Aberystwyth :— the OPEN-AIR TREATMENT. I felt a little better at the start, but on returning to Wales, and finding that my left lung was still affected I realised in a few weeks that I had gone back to the old state; I could not lie at all on the left side, the PAINS CONTINUED, and the PHLEGMING was very bad, whilst I could not walk upstairs. Fortunately, I heard of Morris Evans's Oil and its remedies. I immediately gave it a trial, and by to-day I am entirely WIXHOUI PAIN. I can lie on the LEFT SIDE as well M the RIGHT, the PHLEGMING has ceased, I eat HEARTILY, and feel myself without ANY PAIN whatever. Yours truly, JOHN EVANS.
