)—————————————————————————————————— Death of Mrs. Powell, Maesgwynne. tlan boidy. Llanboidy deeply grieves its loss, in the death of Mrs Catherine Ann Prudence Powell, widow of the late Mr W. R. H. Powell, M.P., which took place in her 73rd year, on Friday, at Plasybridell, Cardigan, the residence of her daughter, Mrs Roch. She had been ail- ing for a. considerable time, and on the journev from Maesgwynne to Plasybridell some three months since, she contracted a severe cold, which soon developed graver symptoms, from which. she never recovered. She was the sister of Mr W. PhilipDs. Llan- dilo, the Chief Constable of Carmarthenshire. The body was brought home to Maesgwynne, Whitland, and the funeral took plaice on Wednesday, the 9th inst., leaving Maes- gwynne at one o'clock, arriving at Llanboidy ) Church about 1.30 p.m., a full report of which will appear in our next week's -issue. The interrment took place in the family vault, the body being placed alongside of that of her illustrious husband. The late Mrs C. M. Powell erected a magnificent marble monument over the vault to the memory of her deceased father. This was executed' by Mr Goscomhe John, London, the design (which represents 'Rock of Ages") and work, being such, that any sculptor could be, well j proud of. Mrs Powell will rest in the midst; of that village she has done so much for, and which, until her health failed, she was so, pleased to visit almost daily, dispensing favours to the needy, who will greatly miss her, though Maesgwynne still is favoured with the presence of one well qualified to take her place. Enriched beyond measure with artistic gifts she designed the decora- tions of the grounds which have made Maes- gwynne such a, liovely home, and at times when necessity required it, she would address an audience wit-h such eloquence that few were the speakers who oared to do so after her. All the country side join in sorrow with the respected family.

Carmarthen County Petty Sessions SATURDAY.—Before Mr D. Williams-Drum- mond, Forfiveliff (chairman); Mr. C. W. Jones, Gwynfryn frice-chairman); and Mr D. L. Jones Derlwyn. This was also the adjourned licensing meeting. TRANSFER. A full transfer of the license of the King's Arms Inn, Llansaint, was granted from the present licensee to her husband. f OFF LICENSE STRUCK OFF. Mr H. Brunei White, solicitor, applied for a full transfer of the off license of the Cwm- mawr Brewery, Llanarbhney, on behalf of Mr WiNiam Richards, the tenant and he also applied for a renewal of the license, the Bench at the annual licensing sessions having ad- journed the consideration in order that the police might serve notice of objection to the renewal on the grounds that there was a con- viction during the year, that the house was difficult of police supervision, and that the licensed premises were not required. Mr D. E. Stephens, solicitor, appeared to oppose the renewal at the instruction of Deputy Chief .constable Harries. Mr James Jthn, solicitor, said he was acting in that case on behalf of the landlord, and he had no iocus standing without their worships' permission. Mr White said he appeared for Mr W. Richards wiho now held a temporary transfer of the off license of the Cwmmawr Brewery, and for one of the lessees of the house, the Rev Darnel Thomas, St Mark's Vicarage, Dews- bury, Yorkshire. Mr John asked for leave to appear for Mrs Frances Mary Crossby, wife of the Rev J. H. Orossby, Ely College, Cambridge, which was granted. Mr White put in testimonials which the applicant for the full transfer had received from the, Manager of the Blaina Colliery, Ammanford; Dr R. Price, Ammanlord Rev Richard Williams, Rector of Llanedy; and Inspector Evan Davies, Police Station, Am- manford. Continuing he said that the house had been licensed for nearly 30 years, and the licensee did a fair trade there, amounting to I nearly three barrels a week all "off." There' was an eight-stalled stable attached to the! house, which was greatly used by members ofii the school board and now by the managers. The Gwendraeth inn which was about half a mile away had only a one-sbalfed stable. He felt sure that the Bench would deal with the license in an impartial manner, and gave his case fair and reasonable consideration. They must not, be harsh in the, discharge of their duties, although they might think they were rendering some service in closing a house, which, they might trfidnk was not required It would be a great hardship on the Rev Daniel Thomas who had earnestly asked him to do his level best to get a renewal of t!he license. He received £ 65 a year rent for it, and had spent E300 on the house. It was a very serious matter to him, and would almost spell ruin if he could not mainta-in the house in its en- tirety. There had been a conviction against the house, but the then tenant was on his death-bed when the case was heard. They already held a brewer's licence to sell whole- sale, and could continue selling 4,1 gallons. Replying to the Chairman, Mr White stated that Richards was tenant under the Rev Dl. Thomas, from year to year, and was not, a manager. A difficulty arosel as to the representation of the administrator of the late tenant of tne Brewery, but Mr John said that the whole thing turned on their worship's decision after hearing the evidence. If they granted a, renewal of the license, they could extend the tempora-i-y transfer to the next transfer sitting, and by then the legal formalities could be gone through. Later Mr White said he had just received instructions to act for the widow of the late David Oswald Thomas, and put Mrs Catherine Thomas in the box. She deposed that her husband, who was the late licensee, died three months ago, but he left nothing behind him that she could administer to. She oroved serving notice on the overseer and police. Mr Stephens: Was not the good will worth something?-Ilw, business was good, but we were too weak to carrv it on. David Davies, of the firm of Messrs Davies and Sons, estate agents, Llanelly, said he knew the district of Cwmmawr intimately. He produced the ordnance map of the district, and within a. radius of a quarter of a mile of the Owmmawr Brewery there were 37 occu- pied houses. There were also two houses in course of erection, the population being 185; in the half mile radius, 66 occupied houses with a. population of 330; three quarters of a mile, 86 houses, including the GwendraetJh Arms with a population of 430; within the mile, 160, including two full licensed houses, and a population of 800. T4e population of the district had considerably increased since the granting of the licence, owing to the development of the district. Within two years the, new Cwmmawr Colliery had been opened within half a mile to the house, and within twelve months the Tynyclose colliery had been opened up. The population had increased 135 per cent. within the last twenty years in the half njdle radius. In the mile radius there were 71 houses nearer the Owm- mawr Brewery than any other public house. There were many faicilitios for police super- vision of the house. The house, was surroun- ded by a plantation on one side. There was ample stable -accommiodation there—seven stalls. The Chairman said that that did not affect the question very muidh as it was not a general license. Mr White: But they are used greatly. By Mr Stephens: He gave evidence last year in some public house cases at Tumble, but only to show that the population was pro- vided with sufficient public house accommo- dation. Since then the population had con- siderably increased throughout the district. Tumble was over a mile from Cwmmawr. In the mile radians the Tumble Inn and the Great Mountain Colliery were included. The Gwendraeth Artao w within a quarter of a mile of the Cwmmawr, and the Mansel Arms over a mile away. The Chairman: The New Inn and Smith's Arms, Voelgastell, are within two miles of the Owmmawr Brewery. Mr Stephens How far is the Brewery from the main road ? Witness: About 200 yards. Mr Stephens: There is another family occupying part of the Cwmmawr premises?— Yes, temporarily I believe. Mr Stephens How often often do they brew there—I suggest that they don't brew at all—Perhaps not at present, but they have been brewing. The last tenant neglected the place. The plant has gone to Llanelly for repair. Mr Stephens: We went there on execution and could not get anything. Mr White: Perhaps you couldn't find them. Mr White: Is the population here a growing one?—Yes, very rapid. Mr C. W. Jones: Is the brewery stone built and slated?—Yes, it is a very sub- stantial building. Mr White And the machinery for berwing on the premises has been sent to Llanelly to be repaired, so thatbrewing operations may be commenced ?-Yes. The tenant of the brewery said he had paid k65 a year rent to the Rev Daniel Thomas. It was his intention to brew beer at the brewery. The machinery belonged to the Rev Daniel Thomas. He had a conversation with P.S. Lewis on the 20th ult., and told him he was living under the Rev Daniel Thorrus He was the Rev Daniel Thomas's brot'tss- in-law. He told the policeman an untruth because it was dangerous to tell a policeman anything. P.S. Lewis,, Tumble said that the house waa situated within private grounds, and was difficult of police supervision. The Chairman: You, can go into private grounds?—It is out of the way. The Chairman: But you have to go out of your way to watch other houses?.Yes, but w'hen you get within a certain distance yon can be seen from all directions. Witness further said that leaving out the I principal street of Tumble, which Mr Davies had include^ there were within a mile radius 1118 occupied houses with a population of 584. There had been a brewing or so at the brewery j Mr Stephens: What became of the beer? Was it sold to individuals. ?.Yes. They had a retail off-license, but when he went there on a certain night he found some men there. What is the nature of the business?—Re- I tail off and on. The Chairman You must not say that. you j know. There is no charge against this man. | Mr John It is a most unfair and improper remark for any officer to state in the witness box. I Mr White: I trust it won't weigh with the Bench. Where are the prosecutions. The Chairman: It should not have be*a stated. Mr C. W. Jones: Do you think this house is required in the neighbourhood?—No, I don't. Mr Stephens: Is there any brewing there ? —I think there has been two small brewings there since I went to the place last July twelvemonths. The building looks dilapida- ted outside. When I called at the house on the 18th Feb., I found six men in the house, three had drinking utensils in front of them, and three were heavily under the influence of drink. The Clerk: Since thut man has been there? I -Yes, and I was accompanied by P.C. Beynon Continuing witness said that on the 20th ult., Itichardis told him that he was simply a caretaker on behalf of the Rev DI. Thomas, his brother-in-law, and it was no gain wha1> ever f<9r him to sell, therefore there was no need for him to sell illegally. Mr White: Were you not satiefiedi at the reason these men were, there. Was not a cow bad," and it required seven or eight men to put in on its legs.—.Yes. Then why didn't you say so when you made such a damaging statement ?-But I dispute the honesty of the explanation. But did'nt you see the cow yourself ?.Yes. How can you then dispute their honesty. You I daresay knew something about farm- ing, and a cow in calf wanted putting on its. legs at tfmes?—I have never known any far- mer of any knowledge dioiiag it at 8 or 10 o clock at Might. Did you find Out whether he had knowledge or not, and is it not a fact that he had mese men to a!seLst r-It is true t,hey did raise, her, but the men made conflicting statements. But you satisfied yourself there was a &iok cow?-Yes, but I doubt the veracity of their statements. Why drid you not take proceedings ?—I reo. i ported the matter to the Deputy Chief. 1 Oh, I see, and he in his better judgment and in hs wisdom did not think fit to take it on ?—Yes. Do you know Inspector Davies, Amman- rord ?-Yes.. Well he gives Richards 12 years character as a, sober and respectable man Do you doubt that?—No. Then you take it he is respectable ?—Yes. P.C. J. Beynon gave: corroborative evidence Mr John said he would like to deal with SV°u in the objection. The first was, k tniat the house was so situated as to be diffi- cuit ot police supervision. Now he put it to r ^^ni that those people lived in their brewery and it they had their brewery, they were en- titled to sell their" wholesale. If they had beer upon the premises, and' if they wanted to break the law, and that was the only ob- jection of police supervision, they would still be able to break the law by selling on the pre- mises as if they had an off licence. So there was nothing in that point. They could break the law equally as well by having it in bulk, and there was absolutely nothing left on the poant of supervision. He would not deal with pofl aSi whr^iher the- police could con- ceal themselves. They Ijiad done so before the larger portion of the day. Then that the licence was not necessary to meet the requirements of the neighbourhood, he thought that this argument would have some weight with their vvorships. If that licence was, necessary for the requirements of the neighbourhood at the, time it was granted, it must be the more necessary now, when the population had increased. And was it not fetter that the inhabitants shou,14 be able to go to that house for his pint or quart of beer in his bottle, and take it home to his house, S? wu his. SUiPPer at his own fire- side, rather than going to a place where he sots down with company, and where, because of the company, he indulges more than he otherwise would do. He was going to puit it very strongly that if a man went to an "on" licence and sat down on the premises, owinr. 1 to me social conddtionis of the day, it wafc the more conducive to drunkenness and spending money, than was the "off" licence, where, a man went for his pint or quart, and got it, and went away home again. He did not know j whether he should appeal for sympathy for the Rev Daniel Thomas. It was a bad case for ham. They knew that the clergy, who rose from the ranks as it were, were not possessed a large amount of means. This £ fnmfman the house fox Ms brother, D. a, He burdened himself with the burden of that license for 21 years. Unfortunately the broither did not turn out as he ought to have, and did not de- serve the sympathy that his brother had given him. Now he was saddled, with the license, and was now seeking to put his sister +i +in rn l!an-e' i ^ouJd stronglv appeal f Ilie liad to a certain extent, demolished the two or three points in that particular case, not to visit up the ooor inno- cent man, the -unishment that must be visi- ted upon him because of the one fault, and that not his own. After a short retirement, the Chairman announced that the Bench were unanimous in refusing the transfer, and declined to en- tertain t'he application for a renewal of the Ikence. COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION. Mr Fvans, of the Swan Hotel, St. Clears, appealed for an hours! extension on the night of the 7th in-st., on the occasion of the County Council eleotaon. 'The Chairman: The Bench eannot enter- tain the application. It is refused. Mr Evans said that the Laughartie people would come to St. Cleans for the declaration. The Clerk: They will be bona fides. ORDINARY BUSINESS. John Davies, Penymaes, was ordered to pay o sand costs for allowing a sow to stray on the highway. THE DFTINX. Herbert White, farm servant, Wauiioor- gam and Thomas Davies, collier, Maesybont, pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly at a ploughing mat-ch on the 23rd February last. They were each fined 5s and costs. For being staggering drunk near Bank- capel, on Sunday, the 28th ult., John Henry, collier, and David Griffiths, haulier, were fined- 6d. and efe and costs respectively. A FARMi^l'S LAST CHANCE. Benjamin Davies, farmer, Cefnhirwaun, Was charged with being drunk whilst in charge of a horse andi trap on the 27th ult. Mr C. W. Jones: A serious offence beoafus.e it is dangerous. Caipt. Harries, Depty Chief Constable: He has been here three times, the last occasion being the 6th uIt., when he was fined 5s and costs for simple drunkenness. When charged defendant said in the ver- nacular, "If I plead guilty it will be a sin on me." P.C. J. Davies, Oonwil said that about 8 p.m., on the night in question, he saw the defendant in charge of a horse and cart on the highway opposite the Farmer's Arms, Conwil. He was very drunk, and he asked a man going in the same direction as defendant to take charge of the horse. Defendant refused to allow him, until threatened with quarters in the police station. The Chairman in inflicting a fine of 10s and costs, said the next time he came there he would go to hard labour probably, so he had better be careful in the future.

Whitland Rural District Council. The monthly meeting of the Whtiland Rural District Council was held at the Parke Temperance, Hotel, on Friday. Mr T. Evans, Tegfynydd. presided. There were also pre- sent: Mr Geo. Evans, Whitland; Mr J. A. Lewis, Llaniboiidy; Mr D. H. R. Thomas, Henlllan; Mr Maltthias, Pendine; Mr Ray- mond, Ciffig; Mr T. Lewis, Llanboidy; Mr D. Morris, Marros Mr W. Thomas, Egremont; Mr Morgan Phillip, Eglwysfairaoherrilg; Mr J. Lloyd Jones, Llanfaliteg; Mr J. Thomas, Llaniga n together with the Clerk (Mr Henry Lewis); the Surveyor (Mr Rees Davies); the Sanitary Inspector (Mr Simon J. James; and the Medical Officer of Health (Dr Creswick Williams). THE TREASURERSHIP. A letter was read from Mr G. P. Brewer, of the Narbeirth Branch of the L.P. Bank in reply to the request, of the Council that he should open a branch at Whitland. He saiiid1 that he found the number of cheques requir- ing to be cashed at Whitland was small; but he should be pleased to make arrangements to have the cheques cashed, free- of charge at Whiitland. Mr D. H. R. Thomas moved that they transfer their account to Lloyd's Bank which had a branch open at Whitland every day. Mr Oheorge Evans seconded. Mr T. Daves said it was not fair and equit- able, to deail witJh such an important matter wit,houit having it on the agenda. Mr George Evans said that he did not see that it was necessary to make any arrange- ment, when they had a bank at Whitland which was open every day. Mr J. A. Lewis asked what was their agree- ment with Mr Brewer. The Clerk said that the agreement was sub- ject to one month's notice on either side. It would be subject to the approval of the Local Governmient Board to wlhich Mr Brewer had a. right of appeal. He must have notice before they would dispense with his services. Mr Geo. Evans said that the treasurer hadi had notice, last mouth. He had had a copy of the resolution of the Council. The O.1erk. when appealed to, read the motion passed last mcmtb, directing the treasurer to open a branch at Whitland. Mr D. H. R. Tho-mae modified his resolu- tion to the effect thait the Treasurer be given notice to terminate his appointment. Mr Geo. Etvamsi seconded. Mr T. Davies moved, and Mr J. Lloyd Jones seconded that the: matter be postponed for a month. The, memb-cirst voted as foilaws: For giving notice: Messrs D. Raymond. D. H. R. Thomas, and Geo. Evans—3. For postponing the matter to the next meeting: Messrs Morgam Phillips, J. Lloyd Jones, T. Davies, Daniel Morris, J. Thomas, W. L. Matthias, T. Lewis, W. Thomas, J. A. Lewis, T. Evans-10. TELEGRAPH LINES. A letter was read from the, Postmaster- General sttating +hat he intended to erect tele- graph poles on the hiilgh road from Llandissilio to Efailwen. Mr T. Davies.- Suppose we decline on the same grounds as the, no-rate policy. What will be the result? Acts of Paeliament are noth- ing nowadays. Mr J. A. Lewis: Lhis is a great convenience for the public. Why should you go against it (laughter). It was decided to give the accessary per- mission, on the usiuial conditions. I LABOURER'S WAGES. The, road labourers of Llandissilio, Caetle- dswyrani, and Ekremont, wrote asking for an increase ini their wages, wlhich were onlly 14s a week. Mr T. Davies said it would not be fair to deal with individual cases. It was decided, to ask the Surveyor to bring up a return at the next meeting, showing the wages paidi to each labourer in the, district. PENDINE IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED. A letter was. read from the Pendine Parish meeting srbati-ng that nothing had been done to open a roadway to the sands. It was stated that the agents of Sir Arthur Stepney and of Mr Morgan Jones were coming down on Monday to inspect the place, and to see what they could do in the matter. Mr T. Davies moved that they should appoint the following committee to meet these gentlemen and discuss the matter: Chair- man, Mr Maltthias, Mr Morris, Mr Raymond, Mr G. 0. Lewis, and Mr Geo. Evans. The Surveyor thought it. would be better to have gentlemen wtho knew nothmg of Pen- dime. He suggested with due respect to those named that it would) be better to have gentle- men from Eggremont amd Llandissilio. Mr Matthias: I am afraid they won't attend The foUowing report of the Surveyor was presented: Gentlemen,—<At the last meeting of youir Council, camiplaintsi were made that the en- trance to the sands had been closed up near the Beiacih Villa. I visiited the, plaice at your request and) found that the ingress to the sand at that spot bad been barricaded by means of planks for the purpose of preventing the high sea from making further damage to the. yard and premises of the, Beach Hotel. YouT ill- struct ions to me were that in view of a long and colainued grievance! respecting tbe, Present two entrances to the sands, that I should miake a new roadiway in a convenient spot somewhere between. Spring Wells and tlie Beach Villa, but aifttefr a oaireM survey of the -,Ia,cei I find that owing to t.be narrowness of the road that it was quite impossible to make a new entrance. Now provided that you consider yourselves legally responsible for these inroads to the sea sands. I should re- commend that the present two road ways or entrances should be opened and kent mmm without any further interference from amy person or persons. The piece of road which was recently damaged by the high sea. has been repaired, but unless a. sea-wall will be elected there, some portions of the! road will be constantly washed away, but I have reason to say that most probably a. sea wall will be buillit there in the near future. Mr Davies, of Froodvale, agent to Sir Marteine Lloyd, and Mr T. Jones, the agent for Sir Arthur Stepney, were kind enough to meet me there, and both these) gentlemen have the, matter now under their consideration. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, REES DAVIES. It was deciidecl that the Committee named by Mr T, Davies, should, meet the agents of the ltocal landowneflsi on Monday at Pendine. A QUESTION OF ARITHMETIC. The Clerk read some correspondence he had had with the County Treasurer i-ega-rdinr, the amount payable as theOIity of tho salaries of the officials of the Council. The treasurer forwarded f,,22 lgs 3d, while the- amount ought to be E24 lOs. It appeared that it was d'ue to a mistake on the part of the auditor. They wou!ld eventually get the balance. THE ALLEGED NUISANCES AT WHIT- LAND. The following report was prerented:- Gentlemen,—In accordance with instruc- tions. received at the last meeting of the Council, we, the undersigned, conjointly have investigated into the matter of the, complaint brought forward by Mr Thomas Williams, of the Station Hotel; with reference to an apparent grievance that he labours under, anent Mr George Eva-rie (of the Railway Taivern) piggeries amd drainages, and which matter he had brought to the notice of the Local Government Board, and therefore we beg to report as We visited Mr WiFiams' premises on Tues- day. the 9th of February, and in the first in- stance we found that he had piggeries siitiualbe in his back-yaffd at* a distance of within 50ft. from the back door of his residence, wlnich con- tained two boars in a. very filthy state, and between these piggeries and his dwelling- house there are stables in which a stallion and other horse or horses are located. It may be added that there is only a wall part-ition between and dividing his stables from the bar cel:1ar,and to any reasonable person, it œn easily be observed that stables and piggeries —which are in constant use—being in such close proximity to a dwelling house must be exceedingly dangerous and prejudiciaJi to healtM^m a. sanitary point of view. On fur- ther exami'ttatio.n we forumd a crude gutter which is intendled to oonrey th-o water from his yard towards the open guitter at the ext;reme back of his garden, in such a bad condition that apparently it had not been cleaned for some time as its condition was most foul and stagnant and the odour emitted therefrom are exceedingly otfensdve. The same remarks are also applicable to the manure heap thaAI is deposited by him in the small field at the rear of his garden, and which is within 70ft. of the G.W.R. pgteengerr platform. On « general resume of these premises, we arrive at the oondusioo that they are in a most in- sanitary condition. We subsequently visited Mr George EmnW premises on the, same date, andl found that liis piiggeries are situate at a d-istiance of 104 feet from his back door and also found them in a good and clean condition but with a manure heap deposited adjoining thereto. We also found that the gutter which was intended to convey surface and other waters from his back door to the open drain at the extreme end of his garden was in a goodl working order and nothing was observed on these premises of an insanitairy type. Now with regard, to the open drain situate at back of both these premises we consider it necessary it should be laid down with 12 inch Socket Pipes with the junctions to receive waters from liack of houses thart are connected therewith, and that it should be properly covered over in the usual manner with cemented joints. For further lucidity and comparison we beg to submat the following measurements: Distance from Station House back door 1"t to the piggeries 50 Distance from Railway Tavern bade door to the piggerifs 104 Distance from Railway Tavern, piggeries to Station Hotel back door 166 Distance from Station Hotel piggeries to the adjoining neighbmi(m back door 49 Distance from Railway Tavern piggeries to the adjoining neighbours' back door 87 We have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servants, J.
