In the course of a few minutes a fox was found and after dodging about near Dolguog he bolted for Bryntydaand Darowen, and got clear away. At Cemmes a second fox was found. He run to ground at Cwmllswi, and.lives to play further havoc with the fowl yards or the neigh- bourhood. The fox was, however, viewed on several occasions and there can be no doubt that he is the same Reynard who has paid midnight visits to Major Bengali's fowl yard. On Thursday the hounds found again at the same spot ajd the fox was hunted away in the direction of Aberhosan until darkness set iu. THE HARRIKSS.—The Pias Harriers were out on Tuesday and scented a fox near Abergwvdol upon whose track they started off.

Mr Joseph Jones, who was near at the time, rushed forward, and taking hold of the wheel lifted it up, so that Mra Jones escaped with slight injuries to the head and face. MACHYNLLETH ARBITRATION CASE. At the Town Hall on Wednesday, Mr Edward Hughes, Aberffrvdlan, sat as umpire, and Mr Davies Williams, auctioneer and valuer, and Mr David Gillart, auctioneer and vainer, as referees in an action brought by Mr Evan Evane, of Machynlleth, against Mr Rowland Williams, Penrhosbach Farm, near Machynlleth, there being also a counterclaim. The case was referred from the High Court of Justice to the County Court, and the parties agreed to arbitration. Mr David Gillart was the referee, and Mr Woosnam, Newtown, the solicitor for Mr Evans, and Mr Davies Williams, the referee, and Mr Taylor, Newtown, the solicitor for Mr Williams. It appears that plaintiff and defendant are joint owners of the Penrhosbach Farm. The rent of the farm was estimated at £60, and the plaintiff claimed from defendant, who was the occupier, the sum of £52 30s, being the rent of three half-years. Mr Taylor admitted the claim of plaintiff and proceeded on the counterclaim which was £3818s lOd, being half the expenses incurred in repairing the farm for 3 years. The following evidence was given.— Rowland Williams said he lived in Penrhosbach. He had been tenant since his father died about. 16 years ago. He paid £30 rent up September, 1883. He stopped paying rent in 1883; no one asked him for years afterwards. He received the notice produced. He bought his share in February following the notice. Mr Evans never asked him for rent but if he had a little money. He could not be certain as to the place before he received a letter from Messrs Evans and Gillart. Witness said he spent so much on repairs and would pay him very soon. Mr Evans said it did not matter so much. He afterwards received the letter produced from Messrs Evans and Gillart, 30tli December. He went to Evans and Gillart's office in consequence and he and plaintiff were present together. Witness took the bills for repairs, and plaintiff offered to sell his moiety or buy his. Witness was offered £550 for his share or raise the rent to £25. Mr Evans, solicitor, asked witness if he was willing to pay the difference be- tween the rent and the repairs. Mr E. Evans said he would not agree. He got a letter on 24th June, 1894, claiming a year's rent, which he paid to Mr Evans. The first thing afterwards he heard was a letter from Mr Woosnam, and he sent a letter in reply (admitted). He sent particulars of his ac- count to Mr Woosnam when he received the writ. He was ill when he wrote that letter, 31st March, 1894. He went to Mr Woosnam but he could not act. He remembered when the wall fell; it very nearly killed his mother. It was the end of Sept., 1893. A little time afterwards the top of the roof went. He went to Mr Pryce, who asked him who was the owner of the other moiety. He said Evan Evans. Mr Pryce told him to go to Mr D. Davies and to E. Evans to ask him to meet Mr Davies. No one else was mentioned, but he advised him to see Mr Henry Jones. He went to Mr Evans at Bryncaemerlin, but Mr Evans was not up.— Mr Richard Jones, tailor, Machynlleth, said Evan Jones told him about the repairs at Penrhosbach. He said that he had promised to pay half the cost of the repairs. The conversation took place in 1894.—Cross-examined He and the defendant were not the best of friends. He could not remember any prior conversation.—Hugh Lewis, Bryncael- meilir, said Mr Evans lodged with him in 1893, from the end of February to 1894. He had no conversation of any importance about Penrhosbach. He had ore conversation as to the repair at Pen- rhosbach.—Cross-examined by Mr Woosnam The conversation took place about November and October, 1893. He was asked to give evidence about six months ago. He had a conversation with R. Jones. He could not remember where he spoke to him. He met him casually on the road. He did not know of any law between parties. R. Jones did not tell him about the action existing between the parties. Nothing else took place and the con- versation ended.—The hearing was adjourned until Monday.
LLANIDLOES.
LLANIDLOES. CHURCH LITERARY SOCIETY. — At the weekly meeting of the above Society held at the National Schools on Monday evening, the Rev W. D. Roberts, M.A., presiding, a discussion took place on the Czar of Russia's proposal for disarmament." Mr John Davies, solicitor, opened the discussion with a spirited address, and he was followed by Messrs J. R. Brown, J. Davies (L. & P. Bank), Ivor Harries and R. M. Davies. LLANIDLOES WORKING INSTITUTE AND LIBRARY. —At a Committee meeting of the above institution held on Thursday evening the president (Alderman Ashton) presiding, the Secretary announced having received the following gifts :— From Mr Jas. H. Williams, N. and S. W. Bank, being the proceeds of his photographic industry during the summer months, a handsome bookcase and nearly 50 volumes of the works of the following authors, J. M. Barrie, Walter Besant, Henry Kingsley, James Payn, Mrs Craik, Anthony Hope, Rider Haggard, Charles Reade, R. Buchan, R. D. Blackmore, W. Black, Marie Corelli, J. K. Jerome, Edna Lyall, Mrs Oli'phant, C. M. Yong-e, Shorthonse, Baliautyne, Mrs Henry Wood, Florence Mont- gomery from Col. J. Davies Jenkins, Penygreer, a large glass case contain- ing a stuffed badger killed on the estate of Mr Nicholas Bennett, Glanrafon, early this year; from the Vicar of Llanidloes (the Rev Edmund 0 Jones), a number of volumes from Mr A W Cornfortb, Trewythen Arms Hotel, Land, and Water weekly; from Mr D Alderson, photographs in frame.—Hearty votes of thanks were accorded each of the gentlemen named, and the Chairman remarked it was. most gratifying to see how well the old Institute was supported in its new quarters. Steps are being taken to procure a heating appara- tus for the reading room which is becoming more and more popular. It was decided to leave the painting of the outside of the building until the coming spring, but that the new sign should be proceeded with immediately. The annual concert will be held in January. THE WESLEYAN BAZAAR. (Continued from page 3). THURSDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The bazaar was continued on Thursday, when there was again a large attendance. Dr J. Vaughan Owen presided. The proceedings commenced with the singing of a hymn and prayer by the Rev. D. Darby Davies, Machynlleth, formerly pastor of the Wesleyan Church at Llanidloes.—The Chairman, in a brief address, said they were there that afternoon to support religion, and he hoped they would be religiously faithful by supporting the bazaar heartily and generously (applause).—The Rev. A. C. Pearce apologised for the absence, through family affliction, of Mr Maldwyn Humphreys, R.A.M., of Machynlleth. The Chairman then introduced Mrs Humiphreys-Owan.— Mrs Humphreys-Owen, who was warmly received, said she was afraid that her position somewhat resembled that of an old stage*, and thought they perhaps desired a change, but she felt that so long as they were kind enough to ask her to come amongst them and to give her a hearty welcome she would be only too pleased to accept the compliment (cheers). She was glad to accept such kind invitations, for they afforded her opportunities of seeing old friends and of forming new acquaintances. Another and greater reason why she appieciated the hanour was that it gave her an opportunity of showing how heartily she sympathised with the good work that the members of every church were trying to do (cheers). Referring to the necessity of concord among the divers bodies of Christians in the country Mrs Humphreys-Owen said it was agreed that they were striving towards one end, and she never could see where was the need for them to make so very much clamour about the different roads they travelled to reach that end (applause). They beard a great deal about unity. and it would be admitted that unity was a good thing, but what need was there tu hear so much about uniformity ? Uniformity and unity were very different things. If they looked round on the whole creation would they find uniformity ? If they looked at the vegetable world and the leaves, the trees and beasts around, and even their fellow creatures, would they find any reproducing a pattern of its neighbours ? It was as a dead thing that uni- formity was alone possible. Their religion was or ought to be a living thing within them. Again if they considered it was only in the childhood of life and of nations that either the eye or heart or the mind were satisfied with the simple melody with the single voice. As soon as knowledge increased and intellect widened it would be found that it was not unison of sounds that they craved for, but concord of sounds. So it seemed to her that it was harmony which thev ought to look forward to, to create and foster amongst the different modes and thoughts which must reign among the different men and women, and of each of the nations of the world. Surely as in the orchestra every instrument was content to bear its part, and every player only strove to do his best to contribute to the harmony and perfection of the whole; as in the chorus the bass did not quarrel with the alto, and the tenors did not contest the palm of superiority with the sopranos, why should in the mighty concord and harmony of their religious life, one part wish to contest with the other which was the better ? They should strive to perform the work that the Great Master had set them as perfectly and as adequately as the powers He had gifted them with enabled them (loud applause). In conclusion, Mrs Humphreys-Owen hoped the result of the bazaajr would be most successful and said that if they did not entirely attain their object she would be happy to do wtat she could to help them (loud cheers).—Rev D. Williams (Dewi Mai) Tre- feglwys, proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs Humphreys-Owen for opening the bazaar, and Mr George Waite, Llandinam, seconded, and the proposition was carried with acclamation-Mr Humphreys-Owen, M.P., in acknowledging the vote on behalf of hiswife,said thatMrs Humphreys-Owen considered the kind vote they had passed ample reward for coming there that day. He felt sure that what she had said was the expression of a very strong belief in the necessity of concord amongst the divers bodies of Christians in tLis country. For his own part he would only dot the i's and cross the t's. He could say that the longest step towards effected union and concord amongst all the different Christian bodies would be taken when each body became equal iu the eye of the State (cheers).- The business ot the bazaar was then proceeded with. THE POPULAR ELECTION. This was one of the most exciting features of the bazaar. The candidates were Messrs W. Savage, Trefeglwys, and Edward Hamer, China street. Each candidate had a strong contingent of can- vassers, and the utmost good feeling prevailed. The state of the poll was declared at frequent intervals, but the final result will not be made until the close of the bazaar, which will probably be to-day (Saturday). On Thursday the opening ceremony was per- formed by Mrs Hamer, Tremynfa. Dr Morris, pre- sided, and there was again a large company present. The secretary elicited loud applause by the announcement that Mrs Hamer had subscribed the sum of £10 towards the bazaar. No statement was made as to the amount realised, but our repre- sentative was given to underetand that up to Thursday night the amount taken including pro- mised was c'ose upon JE400. The amusements were continued last night, and were greatly enjoyed by all, the Minstrel troupe under the direction of Mr R. H. Jarman, which have been liberally patronised throughout the bazaar, proving perhaps the greatest attraction.
LLANFYLLIN.
LLANFYLLIN. INTERMEDIATE EDUCATION. The monthly meeting of tt. Local Managers of the Llanfvllin Intermediate School was held in the Town Hall yesterday week. There were present Mr J. Marshall Dugdale (chairman), the Rev T. Jones, the Rev J. C. Jones, Dr J. R. Jones, Dr H. 0. Jones, Messrs E. Watkins, John Jones, William Jones, and J. P. Williams, with MrElIis Roberts, clerk, and Mr E. Hawke Dawe, headmaster. CORRESPONDENCE. Mrs Leslie, Llansantffraid, wrote saying she could not attend the meetings at the hour (5 p.m.) for which they were fixed for the winter months.—Mr Geo. Kempster wrote apologising for his irregular attendance and offering to retire. BUILDING SITE. In the course of a discussion which took place as to the purchase of the site for the permanent school buildingE, the Chairman mentioned that he was selling the site at a small price for the benefit of the town, at the same value that he sold the land for the new police station, 23 6d a yard. This was much cheaper than it would be sold to a private person. Accoiding to Mr Teather (the architect's) measurement, the quantity of land required was 1,064 yards. He wonld like if possible to have a clause inserted in the conveyance.— Mr John Jones thought that it was only fair that such a clause should be inserted, and he proposed that instruc- tions be given to have it inserted.—This was seconded and agreed to.—On the motion of Mr E. Watkin, seconded by the Rev T. Jones, it was agreed that the price to be paid for the ground be at the rate of 2s 6d per yard. HEADMASTER'S REPORT. Mr Dawe reported that the number of pupils at present in the school was 37. Evening classes had been started, one was taking matriculation work. He was prepared to teach anything that was likely to be asked for in these classes. He thought the school games should be encouraged; they were very beneficial to the pupils. In many schools the Managers made a grant towards the games fund. He asked the Managers to make a small grant to- wards this fund which was taxed by entertaining visiting teams.—The Chairman thought it a good thing to encourage healthy exercise and he proposed that the sum of £2 be granted.—This was seconded by Mr E. Watkins, and agreed to.—The Head. master, continuing, said he thought of giving an entertainment at the end of the term—one of Shakespeare's plays or a fairy play—and he would be glad to know whether the Managers thought it judicious to do so. He did not intend making a charge.—The Rev T. Jones said it would be good training for the pupils both mentally and otherwise. — Mr Watkins concurred and thought it would be a very good thing for the children. If parents understood these things there would be no trouble or objection whatever.— Mr J. P. Williams proposed that application be made for the use of the Town Ball for an entertainment, this was seconded by the Ret T. Jones, and agreed to. MISCELLANEOUS. The Clerk reported that the tuition fees for the term paid into the Bank amounted to JE57. The question was raised as to whether the school stationery should be obtained locally or from large producers elsewhere.—The Rv T. Jones said they ought certainly to stretch a point in favour of a townsman.—The Rev J. C. Jones and Mr E. Watkins concurred.—Mr Wm Jones said they bad their duty to do in dealing with public mouey.—After further discussion it was agreed that Mr Bryan be asked asked whether he could supply the stationery at something near the price charged by large firms. SCHOLARSHIP. A previous motion on the subject having been rescinded, Dr J. K. Jones proposed that an aug- mented scholarship of JE6 be awarded to Robert Richards, a boy, from Llangynog. This boy won a scholarship when 11 years of age, but was advised then not to hold it not being very strong in health at the time. At the last examination he won a scholarship of £ 5.—Mr Dawe said he was a very bright boy.—Mr Wm. Jones seconded the proposition which was carried. PLANS. The amended plana and specifications were approved of, and arrangements were made fcr suuacripi.ions.

Tom 0 Bentre Cagon" writes to us mysteriously Welshpool, like other unfortunate places, occasionally skiffer.3 from a disease of the body politic called "cranks," a malady which takes its name from the little microbes which do the mischief. If, however, these little pests are destroyed in time, and are not allowed to develop in any way, the patient has always a fair chance of taking no ill effect from tins tiresome, yet prevalent disease. The real danger of "cranks" is, it so often leaves the patient in so enervated a condition that he easily becomes the prey of far greater scourges, such as plague, small-pox, etc. Bacteriologists tell us that, the crank microbe in its isolated state is quite harmless it is only when it meets fellow-cranks that it really becomes dangerous to the human system. Tiie crank is a creature of small intelli- gence and narrow outlook, it is notorious for its ignorance and self-conceit, and, in matters of religion, pretends to be as infallible as the Pope himself. TEMPLAR HALL.—The "United" and "Home of Welcome" Lodges held the first of a series of pleasant evenings" in the Templar Hall, (late Conservative Club Room) on Thursday evening last, when there was a good company present. Tea was served at 6 p.m. the following presiding at the tables, Mrs Edward Davies, Mrs Challinor, Miss Annie Davies, Miss Alice B. Jones, and Mr William Challinor, assisted by Mrs E. Jones, Mrs Bishop, and the Misses M. E. Owen, Maggie Davies. A. Jones, M. Pierce, Maggie Owen, Miriam Davies, Lucy Jones, and Katie Macdonald. After tea dancing and games were indulged until 11 p.m. Songs were given at intervals by the following, Mrs Challinor, Misses M. Davies, and A. B. Jones, Messrs Crabtree and W. Challinor, the comic element being supplied by Messrs Humphreys and Wendell Jones, Mr Alfred Jones was the accom- panist. The refreshments were in the hands of Messrs Bishop and Edwards. The M.C's were Messrs E. Jones, Wm. ChaPinor and Alfred Jones. The duties of secretary were ably carried out by Mr Macdonald. PRIMITIVE METHODIST CHURCH.—In connection with the usual Christmas effort, Mrs D. J. Jones, High-street, gave the second weekly social tea on Thursday evening. The tea tables, which were prettily decorated with chrysanthemums, were presided over by Mrs D. J. Jones and Mrs Crowe, and valuable assistance was rendered by Mra Wilson, Mrs Davies, Miss Lillie Hughes and Miss M. Wilson. The company, which included the Mayoress of Welshpool, Mrs David Jones, was very fair con- sidering that other gatherings of a similar nature were being held in the town that evening. RECOGNITION SERVICES AT THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.—A meeting of members of the Congre- gational Church and others was held on Thursday night to formally recognise the new minister, the Rev D. B. Evans. Mr Richatd Powell, deacon of the Church, occupied the chair, and he was sup- ported by the Rev Richard Owen, Mr Robert Thomson, the Revs J Morgan, J Tesseyman, T Rowson, T C Jones, Jonathan Evans (Rochdale), and M 0 Evans (Wrexham). There were also pre- sent Mr David Jones, Mayor of Welshpool, Dr Thomas and Mr Maurice Evans. The Chairman extended a hearty welcome to the new nastor, and Mr R. Thomson formally acknowledged the election of Mr Evans to the pastorate.—The Rev J. Morgan congratulated the Church most heartily on the choice of such a strong man as pastor, the more so as the choice had been unanimous.— Short addresses were then given by the Revs J. Tessey- man, T. Rowson and T. C. Jones.-The Rev Jonathan Evans expressed sympathy with the object of the meeting, and went on to say that they were face to face with a terrible crisis in this country. It was evident they would be called upon very soon to re-fight the battle of the Reformation. It was sad to think that in thousands of parishes to-day there were men in receipt of Protestant money who were doing their utmost to play the parts of Jesuits, and who were pledged to the task of bending or breaking the will of this Imperial race and so helping to make Papacy and Paganism once more triumphant in this land. This was their avowed object. Should they go on undistirbed in their work? No, a thousand times, no! Who then was to take up the work of frustrating the dark designs of these men ? Not the Bishops evidently. Who then ? The Free Churchmen of this country. Someone had said that the work done for England by the Reformers of the 16th century, the Puritans of the 17th, and the Metho- dists of the 18th century, was to be handed down to their children of the 20th century the Free Churchmen of this country must further understand that in order to do this they must close their ranks and unite their forces. Some people would 3ay that Free Churches were rather at a discount in these days and that Nonconformity was prepar- ing itself to die. Let them turn to the infallible Doctor at St Asaph and he would tell them that Non- conformists were dead and there were people whose wealth equalled their stupidity and ignorance who re-echoed his verdict, saying They must be dead for my Lord Bishop says so." But they were not dead and the Freechurchmen of the future would give evidence of their life by making a stand and a firm stand in the day of battle. It seemed to him that just at this time there must be a clear understanding between the Free Churches and their ministers. The weak-kneed must mend their ways or get out of the ranks for they were fast approaching the time when it would be made clear that whoever dared insub their principles as Freechurchmen could not go unpunished. People would say" Weare not prepared to go as far as that." He would tell such people You are in the wrong camp and until you are re-converted you had better stand aside." Were they to sit down quietly to the insults which were daily heaped upon them ? The Lord Bishop of Nottingham in fight- ing a School Board election had said I declare the School Board to be the work of the devil." Did they think Nonconformists could smile and praise a Bishop who got his vocabulary from such an un- sanctified source ? Then they were mistaken. An old woman 75 years of age and a member of 50 years' standing in the Congregational Church was told by the Parish Priestling that The people who go to chapel go to hell." This was what they :,ad to fight against and they valued their principles too highly to be trampled. upon by graceless bigots and clerical tomfoolery (applause).—Mr Evans' exhortation was followed by a charming solo by Miss Walmsley, entitled Daddy."—The Rev M. O. Evans said that he must congratulate the Church on their choice of a very manly man as minister. He was an omnivorous reader, a profound student, and would, be was sure, prove a very safe leader of young men.—The Rev D. B. Evans, who was received with loud applause, said that he had no idea he was such a clever man (laughter). It was very kind of them to have spoken in the way they had of his manifold virtues and he trusted that the people of tiiis church and of the town would find that he deserved some of the good things said at his recognition meeting. If they wished him to go into an exposition of his creed he must confess that he had not a routine creed, but he trusted that as long as he deserved the confidence of his congregation he would receive that confidence. He thought they would he able to pull together (hear, bear). Of course they knew that in Welshpool they had a great number of leaders and the only difficultv was to find ordinary people who wanted to be led (laughter). He did not believe in people who looked on the Established Church as a superior Church, and he was going to claim equal rights with the Established Church in this town. They had principles which had cost the lifeblood of their forefathers, and he hoped that they would be able to make the Nonconformists of Welshpool proud of their Nonconformity (applause). —Miss Walmsley sang solos in the course of the meeting, the accompanist being Mr C. 1. Gwynne. THE ALMSHOUSE CONCERT.—This annual concert loses nothing in popularity as time goes on. The Church House was tilled to overflowing on Thursday evening and the audience were immensely pleased with the fare provided. As usual they demanded that the programme should be doubled, insisting in every case on recalling the performers. It is not usual to recall readers and reciters, but in this case it was done and the exacting audience was so wel. rewarded that there is danger of the custom becoming established. No less praise is deserved by the singers and musicians. The concert was better than the programme which was well-arranged and went off iu every respect nost successfully. The following was the programme:— Selection, string band conducted by Mr T. Maldwyn Price; vocal duet, The moon hath raised her lamp above" Mes, rs Dan Jones and R. E. Owen; readings, Shopping," and A woman's going ont," Rev LI. Jones; songs, "The scent of the lilies," and Sunshine and rain," Miss Lane violin solos, (a) Nocturne (b) Tarantella," Miss Hutchins sougs, The white squall, and The village blacksmith," Rev J. Jenkins; mandoline solo, Miss E. M. Harrison, (encored) songs, Our Tyke," and "I love you my love, I do," Captain Genth; quartette, A wet al-eut and a flowing sea," Messn Dan Jones, A. P. Davies, C. Pryce and R. E. Owen song, Pray for me," Miss Tigar (encored) duet pianoforte and violin, Mr and Mrs Ward (encored); recitation, "The whistler" and "Wreck of the Dover express," Mr W. H. Ellis; songs, Flight of ages aud The holy friar," Air R. E. Owen; reading, Wagg'a loved," Rev LI. Jones (encored); songs, House to let" and More work for the under- taker," Captain Genth. Much credit is due to Mrs T. W. Uavies for the labour she has expended in makingiall the arrangements, which were complete and successful. She did the work almost single-handed and did it well. The Almshouses will benefit it is believed to the extent of between £26 andE27 from her efforts and those of the ladies and gentlemen who kindly gave their services, so that the evening's enjoyment means many days of comfort to the poor and aged. MORE THIEVING BY BOYS. At the Borough Police Court yesterday, before the Mayor (Mr David Jones), and Messrs Maurice Jehu, John Reese, and W. Rogers, four boys living in Mount Street named Richard Evans (10), Edward Edwards (10). Humphrey Edwards (8), and Thos. Jone.(8), were charged with stealing a quantity of sweets to the value of Is 6d from the shop of Thos. Challinor, 24, High Street, on Thursday.—Two of the boys, Richard Evans and Edward Edwards, were charged on Tuesday at the Police Court with a robbery at the Railway Station. Edwards was birched and Evans on turning Queen's evidence was discharged. -P.S. Pryce who conducted the prosecution asked for the prisoner Thomas Jones to be discharged in order that he might give evidence against his aecompliceii.-The, Bench assented to this course.—Thomas Challinor said after closing his shop on Thursday at seven o'clock he found the place all right but when he returned again at eight o'clock he discovered that the window had been broken into and sweets taken.—By the Bench The pane was previously cracked but not broken.— The boy Thomas Jones stated that Richard Evans forced a bit of stick through the corner of the window. This was about eight o'clock.—The Magistrates' Clerk: What did you do thrn ?- Witneps: We had some taffies.-What did you do with them? Eat 'en).- And what else? Nowt.— Witness, replying to the Bench, said they all had some of the sweets.-P.C. Williams stated thai at half-past eight that morning he received infor- mation of the occurrence from Mr Challinor, and on going to the shop found the window broken. Mr Challinor pointed out to him the boxes from which the sweets had been stolen. As he went out of the shop he saw Richard Evans going down the street on the opposite side. At the site of the officer Evans ran back home, and on the constable follow- ing him he found defendant in the house crying. On taking him into custody Evans said It was Ted Evans as done it." Taking defen- dant to Challinor's shop, he pointed out to witness the boxes from which the sweets had been stolen in exactly the same order as stated by Challinor. From what Evans told him he went to the National Schools and arrested the other boys, who stated that Evans broke the win. dow.—The defendants pleaded guilty and the Court was cleared.—The Mayor, on resuming, said only a few days ago Edwards had been birched and Evans, though charged with the same offence, had been discharged, but they considered him little better than the other. Had both been old enough they would have been sent away. The sentence of the Court however was that they be imprisoned for one night aud in the morning receive ten strokes of the birch rod. Humphrey Edwards would be fined 5s including costs.—Addressing the parents of the defendants the Mayor said it was not a pleasant duty for the Bench to decide in those cases, which obtained for the town a bad name and he hoped the parents would try and keep them in order. Defendants were led from the Court screaming, kicking and clinging to their mothers, and were followed to the police station by a large crowd. LOCAL GOVERNING BODY. A meeting of the Local Governing Budy was held yesterday afternoon, Mr C. E. Howell, presiding. There were also present Mrs Hamphreys-Owea. Miss G Naylor. Messrs W A Rogers, J H Davies, J Morris, and Richard Jones; with the Clerk (Mr E L R Jones. CHILDREN FROM OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT. The Chairman read a letter which the Clerk had written to the Charity Commissioners asking whether persons residing outside the county, but paying rates, were entitled to the benefits of the scheme, and whether ^persons residing outside the county, but not paying rates, were entitled.—The Charity Commissioners referred the Governors to clause 69 of the scheme, from which it would be seen that a County School was open to all children satisfying certain conditions, which, however, did not include a condition as to residence. Preference, however, was given to applicants for admission who were inhabitants of the district in which the school was situate.—The Chairman said iihe reply opened up a great question in regard to children living outside the county. He had an opinion to which he did not care to give full expression. He might, however, state that as the Act was passed for Wales he could not see how the scheme was applicable to parts other than Wales. To his mind the Charity Commissioners had not touched upon the main point, that re- specting children residing in England. The Act certainly related to Wales.—Mrs Humphreys-Owen concurred. The Chairman said there was a difficulty in his mind as to whether they should enter into the subject that day or put a further question to the Charity Commis- sioners as to whether the Governors were justified, under an Act of Parliament, relating to Wales, in accepting children who were not in- habitants of Wales.—Mrs Humphreys-Owen thought Shropshire was utterly undeserving of support, because when they tried to frame some scheme for Deytheur there was an idea that an agricultural school should be formed for that district and also for part of Shropshire, but the Shropshire County Council would not put a sixpence down for it.- Miss Naylor said the Governors should not penalise the children for the sins of the County Council.— Mr Richard Jones said he was quite willing to allow his motion to stand over for enquiry. —The Chairman said he had looked up the Act of Parliament and no reference was made in it to England. Possibly the Intermediate Education Act would be adopted in England and no difficulty would be then experienced in admitting children from over the border. The Act of Parliament over-rode the scheme or rather the scheme was subservient to it. At the request of Mr W. A. Rogers the minute of the previous resolution, which Mr R. Jones wished to rescind, was read. It was to the effect that the Governors regretted that the great number of applicants in their own connty prevented them admitting children resid- ing outside of the county. It was agreed to defer the matter and the Clerk was instructed to enquire whether the Governing Body would be justified in accepting children from England. At this point the Chairman left and Mr W. A. Rogers was voted to the chair. BURSARIES. Applications for bursaries from Mrs Bebb, Garreg, and Mrs Fortune, Forden Workhouse, for their children were referred to the Scholarships Committee. BILLS. The Finance Committee recommended the pay- ment of bills to the amount of J66 10s on the general account, and £10 13s 6d on the building account. INCREASE IN THE CAPITATION GRANT. Miss Naylor moved that the headmistrees have her capitation grant raised to the amount paid to the headmaster. Her reasons for making this motion were treated as private.—Mr Richard Jones seconded.—Mr John Morris said that if the school feas, would permit it he was agreeable to the motion.—Miss Naylor said she spoke to Mr Addie who was perfectly agreeable.—The Chairman said the motion was in order and it was accordingly passed. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE SCHOOLS. Mrs Humphreys-Owen said there was one matter which she would like to mention, the question of the assessinent of their schools by the Assessment Committee. The matter was before the Committee on Wednesday. She did not know whether this should be in Committee or not.—Miss Naylor said it was a matter for the Finance Committee.—Mrs Humphreys-Owen I think we should appeal against it. They propose to rate our schools at,260 though there was a very strong opposition. I want this matter treated in Committee.— This was agreed to. MAYOR'S SUNDAY. The Mayor, Mr David Jones, accompanied by the members of the Town Council and a very large number of the burgesses, attended service in the Parish Church on Sunday. They met in the Town Hall half-an-hour before the commencement of the service, and went in prucession along Broad-street and Church-street,which were lined with spectators, to church. First was a body of police, under Mr CrowJen, Deputy Chief Constable, and Sergeant Pryce; the Fire Brigade, under their captain, Mr Davies the mace bearers the Mayor in his robes and wearing his chain of office; Mr Edward Jones, Town Clerk; Aldermen G. D. Harrison, C. E. Howell, and T. Rowley Morris; Mr Wall, J.P., Mr J. Reese, J.P., Mr W. Rogers, J.P., and Mr M. Jehu, J.P.; Councillors T. S. Pryce, J. Pryce Jones, T. C. Pugh, C. Shuker, W. Humphreys, and T. Griffiths; Dr. Marston, Medical Officer of Health and other borough officials and a large number of burgesses, the attendance being unusually large. The service was intoned by the Rev. J. Jenkins, and the Vicar, the Rev. Grimaldi Davis, preached from Luke X., 37 v., on the Good Samaritan. Alluding to the presence of the Mayor and Corporation, the Vicar said Municipal bodies could do much to lessen human sorrow and increase human happiness, they could do much to diminish the amount of sickness and prevent many children becoming orphans and wives becoming widows. They could do much to improve the miserable homes that were fatal to health, decency, and morality. They could do much to give the poor physical recreation, pure water, pure air, and healthy surroundings; they I could do much to give them intellectual cultivation and refinement by libraries and such means. They I could remove temptations and redress the inequali- ties of human conditions, and in numberless ways those who occupied public offices could with God's blessing help those who could not help themselves. That day they had the pleasure of having with them in that Church, the Mother Church of the parish, the new Mayor and Corporation. He offered to the Mayor, on behalf of those who worshipped there, his sincere congratulations on his elevation to the dignity, and hoped that his yeat" of office would be a happy and prosperous one, and that he would be able to improve the happiness and lessen the sorrow and increase the prospeiity of the town. They know that their support was required by the Victoria Nursing Institute, founded to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen and as an acknow- ledgment of the blessings received during the last 60 years. Although this institution was new, he could say from his personal observation that it was doing a great deal of good work, and he believed it was destined to do a great deal more. The benefits were not confined to any class, creed, or political party, and he therefore appealed to them the more confidently whether Nonconformists or Church- people, Liberals or Conservatives, to give their most generous support to this the newest institution in the town. After the seivice the procession was reformed and proceeded to the Town Hall, where the Mayor addressed to them a few words of thanks for accompanying him. The offertory amounted to slightly over CS. BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS.—TUESDAY. Before Mr David Jones (mayor) presiding, Messrs D. P. Owen, D. Wall, E. Hughes, W. Rogers and Maurice Jehu. RIDING WITHOUT REINS.—P.C. Jones, Guilsfield, charged Samuel Nock, Gullet Court, with riding a waggon without reins on the 26th October, on the road leading from Maesmawr.— P.C. Williams proved serving the summons.—Fined 7s 6d includ- ing costs.—The fine was paid. ASSAULT.— Stephen Jones, Brithdir Cottage, charged Thomas Thomas, Upper Plascunny, Ber- riew, with assaulting him outside the Horse Shoe Inn, Berriew, on the 29th of October.-Complainant said that when coming out of the Horse Shoe about eight p.m. on the above date, defendant followed him and struck him on the face.—Defendant denied the offence.-Firied 7s 6d including cogts.-Paid. ROBBERY AT THE RAILWAY STATION A SERIOUS CHARGE.—P.S. Pryce charged Wm D Jones, 20, Mount street (14), John Charles Jones, 20, Mount street (12), Frederick Waring, 2, Mount street (9), Richard Evans, Mount street (10), and Edward Edwards, Raven street (10), with breaking into the refreshment room on the down platform of Welsh- pool Railway Station on Sunday last, and stealing therefrom several packets of cigarettes, sweets, etc., valued at lis 6d. Thomas Rushgrove, Mount street (15), was also charged with receiving the stolen property.—Before the hearing of the evi- dence, P.S. Pryce asked the Bench to discharge one of the boys as he wished him to give evidence against the other lads. The boy was accordingly discharged.— Florence Lewis, in charge of the small refreshment room on the down platform, stated that on Sunday at about 7-20 a.m. she closed the bar and locked the door of the room. Returuing at 9-10 p.m. she found the window of the room open, and everything inside in confusion. Cigars and cigarettes were scattered about the floor, and also an iron bar, which had evi- dently been used to prise open the window. There were about two dozen chocolates gone, and four sixpenny boxes and a dozen threepenny packets of cigarettes. Some whisky and brandy was also missing.—P.S. Pryce here produced some of the articles found on the boys which were identified by the witness. Continuing, she said she at once reported what had taken place to the manageress of the rooms on the up-platform, Miss Amy Roberts, and P.S. Pryce was at once sent for.-George Farnan, manager of the Refreshment Rooms for Messrs Spiers and Pond, stated that about 9-20 on Sunday night he was summoned to the Railway Station, and on arriving there he found that the window of the small bar had been wrenched up and that articles to the value of lis 6d had been stolen. The window was a perfectly secure one. He then gave Sergeant Pryce articles similar to those stolen, in order that the stolen property might be more easily identified.—Richard Evans, the boy discharged, said that on Sunday afternoon Edward Edwards asked him to go with him to the refreshment room at the Station to get snme chocolate. Frederick Waring accompanied them. Edwards secured the iron bar to open the window. Edwards and himself went into the refreshment room and got some cigarettes whilst Waring stopped outside to watch. About seven o'clock he met Charles Jones, William Jones, Edward Edwards, and Waring coming from the refreshment room. They said they had got some cigarettes and gave some of them to Rushgrove.—P.C. Rees Williams said that about 7-30 p.m., on Sunday, he was on duty in Broad Street, and saw a number of boys standing under the lamps by New Street. He walked towards them and saw that they had a quantity of cigarettes in their possession. On seeing him the boys ran off.—P.S. Pryce stated that on Sunday night, about 9-30, he was sum- moned to the Railway Station. He found the refreshment room broken open and was told that a quantity of tobacco and sweets bad been stolen. He afterwards made enquiries and on Monday arrested the defendants, finding tobacco in the possession of Rushgrove and Evans.—The Bench retired, and on their return the Mayor said that the four defendants W. D. Jones, Frederick Waring, J. Charles Jones, and Edward Edwards had been found guilty of stealing from the refreshment room aud that they also considered the charge against Thos. Rnshgrove of receiving the stolen property as being proved. Frederick Waring and Edward Edwards would receive 12 strokes with the birch rod inas- much as the evidence proved they went to the refreshment room twice, and Charles Jones and William Jones 10. Rusbgrove would be fined 7s 6d or seven days' imprisonment.—Addressing the boys the Mayor said they must understand what a serious offence it was, and if any of them came be- fore the Magistrates again they would be compelled to send them to a reformatory. He hoped it would be a warning to them all. It was an exceedingly hard thing for him that the first magisterial duty he had to perform in his new capacity was to sentence boys. He would much rather have had the pleasure of discharging them.—The prisoners cried bitteily. VACCINATION.—A. E. Bond (Broad Street), John Jasper (Cumberland Place), William Watson (Hall Street), W. Fairfax (New Street), and T. Howells (High Street) applied for certificates of exemption from vaccination for their children.—The applica- tions were adjourned for a fortnight.

LLANLLUGAN. MONTGOMERYSHIRE NEEDLEWORK GUILD.—A list of parishes receiving grants of clothing for dis- tribution among the deserving peor from the above Guild was published in your paper last year and our parish (Llanllugan) was included in the list. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find that any individual in this parish received any article last year and I am afraid such will be the case this year, although Llanllugan cannct boast of any charities like some of its rich neighbours. I am not snprised that some of our local ladieo have declined to support the Guild lately.

« WELSH- COUNTY COUNCILS AND…
« WELSH- COUNTY COUNCILS AND THE SHEEP SCAB ORDER. CONFERENCE AT SHREWSBURY. A conference was held at Shewsbury this week of representatives of the counties of Shropshire, Montgomeryshire, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Rad- norshire, Cheshire, Herefordshire, and Stafford- shire, with the view of forming, if possible, a combined area, and framing uniform regulations in respect to sheep scab. Mr J. Bowen Jones the chairman said the home," of this disease was in the mountainous parts of the kingdom, and probably it would be found that still stronger regulations would be required to eradicate sheep scab from the hilly parts of Wales and Scotland. He hoped that the members of that conference would advise their respective executive committees to put this new order into force in the spirit in which it bad been issued. He thought they should form some uniform regula- tions and conditions for the movement of sheep into their combined area from other parts of the coimtry. In such a united area inter-communication between the various districts would be free. Mr C. B. Davies approved of the suggestions made by the Chairman, Colonel Prescott Decie thought they should know what measures the bill counties would take in dealing with this disease. They would like to see extremely stringent measures taken whenever an outbreak took place. — Captain Mytton said Montgomeryshire was a county very much affected by the regulations in Shropshire and one uniform code of regulations among the counties adjoining Shropshire by which sheep could be allowed to enter into Montgomery- shire would be of incalculable advantage to the county. With regard to sheep scab, Montgomeryshire bad eudeavoured to eradicate the disease, but he found that apparently the regulations that had been in force had not diminished the number of outbreaks. If they had one uniform code of regulations for sheep scab it would be of great advantage. There was one point he wished to put before the conference. Why could not some plan be adopted other than that of making it imperative on the local constables to become, as it were, inspecting officers, and to give certificates for the sheep where they were dipped ? He was aware of the opiuion that sheep should be dipped at proper seasons of the year, but it was now entail- ing a great amount of labour aud trouble to the conqtables, and in many cases they were not avail- able foi the work they were called upon to perform at the right time.—Mr C. C. Rogers thought there was something unsatisfactory when the police of their counties should have to spend such an enormous amount of time in superintending the dipping of sheep Mr J. Shuker said that an arrangement like the one proposed would simplify matters in Montgomery- shire and help them in their markers. Under the present regulations in six or seven small parishes on the borders of Montgomeryshire and Shropshire they were losing quite £1,000 a year, or an equiva- lent of 9d. an acre extra on their land. He had a firm conviction that they were now on the right road in respect to this matter. The conference eventually decided that some regulations should be drawn up on lines suggested by Major Heber- Percy, and that they be sent round to the several County Councils interested for their consideration, with a view to the formation of a combined area.— Mr John Shuker said he thought the conference should also pass the following resolution :—" That this conference requests the Board of Agriculture to take the necessary steps for compelling the proper dipping of sheep in the kingdom twice in 28 days, in the months of June, July and August, with a view of eradicating disease."
