JonH, made the following report:—" I beg Vt report that I have visited in the pariah of Nantglyn; tbia house is quite unfit for habitation owing to its damp and dilapidated state. I alu visited a bouse in the village of Nautglyn, in which two room*, npe used as sleeping apartments; one of the rooms is in a shooking condition, and the other is not much better. To occupy these rooms must be highly prejudicial to health. I also visited Telfryn, in the pariah of LltufprrQg; the bedrooru here is unfit for habitation owing te damp. I regret t.) inform you that since your list meeting four fresh cases of diphtheria have occurred. The Erst two cases were at a house called Fforddfawr, in the parish of Llaorbaiadr, and both cases euded fttslly. The third case wis at The Common, Gellifor, which also proved fatal. The fourth case was that of a pauper girl in Gellifor, also terminating fatally. The persan and her mother occupied a email room which is quite unlit for habititioa owing to the accumulation of wanare and filth el « to the door." ThcSehod.—The Clerk. read tbe report 'of the Rev.

The Mief Lists.—Ia the revision of the relieving officers' books, seven deaths of paupers during the fort- night were reported. There was also au item of 2a for the use of a hearse for burying a pauper at Llanarmon; the Clerk said the charge was illegal, as each parish was bound to keep a hearse for the llse of the parishioners. —Mr Roberts said they bad one and made ne charge for its use, but they charge this amount f.,r the clean. ing a-ui use of barnw.— Mr Byford said they had not one iu his pjrish (Llangynhaf 1) aud the adjsiaiog parish, and the other day they had to carry a corpse on a cart.—The ChairlDan You had better bring tLe matter before your ftew rector. (Laughter.)—Mr Byford Oil I shall talk to him about it now.—As the question of paying for the cleaning of the hearse was somewhat novel, the Clerk was directed to write to the Lnctl Government B ard on the matter. ,Vr Louit and the In answer to a question as to the progress of the wall Mr Luii was building to divide bis newly-purchased propeity from the Board of Guardians' farm, the master of the house sid the wall was a dry wall, anti was to be poinled with mortar. -The Chairmin thought the guardians ceitiinly had not 8rran¡¡ed for that—Mr Johu Hughes thought it was the stronger mode of building at this time of the Tear.—The Chairman, Mr Roberts, and several others, simultaneously eiclaimed that the idea of building a dry wall stronger than a mortared wall was quite new. -The Chairman asked if that were the case, why not build houses in the same way ?—Mr Hughes said setts were to be planted on each side of the waiL-The Chairman And they will push the wall down who. they grow up.—Mr E. P. Jonea. Of course they will. -The I don't think the pointing does any good.—Mr Hughes They built en Moel Fammau a good many years ago with mertar, but it came down. -The Clnirnaan But that was not because it was built with mortar. The clerk having fetched the agreemeut, it appeared that the agreement was for the erection of a subsJantial ,,II.-Mr Powell Jones thought if Mr Louis went into court with that agree- ment be would be sold.—All the Guardians thought that a dry wall was not a substantial .wall within the meeGHig of the agre&-inent.-The Chairman asked if there was any "iJ to bick it up.—Mr Hughes said there was on Mr Louis' side.—The Chairman: I thought 80, as unless there is some soil like that, it -weuld not stand up till it was finished.—Mr Powell Jones: No; of course not.-The Clerk aid they were certainly not obliged to have a dry wall under that agre.ment.-After some further discussion it was de. cided that a mortared wall should be built, a8 the rubble wall without morta* was not in accordance with the agreement.—The Board then adjourned to the field, and fouod that the man who was building it had contracted to build it three feet without mortar, whereas the agreement was for a f jur-feet wall.—The matter was left iu the bands of the clerk. Diphlhtrui.—Dr Jenkins reported that be bad had several case* of diptithemin Llangynhafol.one of which had been fatal. This makes five fatal ca.,es in a fort- night, besides some cases of fever. The School Attendance Committee did not do any bl1Aives, there was no quorum. J IIIrd Cast.— During the revision of the relief lists a hard case was brought forward, and its discussion ldjourned. It appears that one Gwen Joaes was for some time receiving relief, and her brother was work- ing for a farmer in Llanrhaiadr parish, aud a deacon the man had agreed to leave the whole of his wages in the hands "t the farmer at interest, but did not seem to have kept account of the amouut. He died about twelve months ago, and the woman's relief was discon- tinued, as it was naturally thought the farmer would psy over seine of the brother's money, ai he was uu. married. The woman new cam. anl applied for relief, ta1in "he oould get no money from the farmer, aud wa, in g,Ü"I":a.nt.

Oap>*<* Verney's Cotton.—Captain Verney introduced a motion, nutice of which he had given at the last "III..t¡D. to rescind a resolution come to at the last meeting respecting the granting of an additional shilling a week to Evan Jones, a pauper at Llanddeiniolen, in ihe Carnarvon U.ion, and to reconsider the matter. Two questions arose, vit the question as cjuceraed the action "f the Board, and that of the action 01 the pauper. He maiutainell that the former's action should be re- oonsid'-i d, a'1d he knew of no reason why the pauper should not receive the relief. At the last meeting of the ld year, a reJ.)mmAndation that the relief given to the pauper should fee increased Is per week was made by the Carnarvon Board, The Board refused the ap- pliellttoo, and, apparently, by some oversight, the 5s allowance was also rtopped. The matter came up for consideration at the last meeting, and Dot only was ths 5s ordered to be continued, but the extra shilling was granted. No roasoc whatever was given for proceed- ing thus after deliberately refusing it at the previous meeting. Their action was not courteous to those who pi-wedod thern, and he did not thick the BoartI did their duty to the ratepayers io acting as they t had done. The Board bad acted in an undignified man- ner. There wito nothing of were importance than the dignity of the Board. It affteted the paupers and the poor people of the country the pauper olass would have no confidence in a Board who distributed money in euch a liap-hazard and reckless manner, and that from go-d nature. Another thing, the pauper did not live in tbia Union, but in the Carnarvon UnioD, and he instanced a case which came before the Meaai Bridge magistratoo at their last monthly sitting (the oireum- stances of whioh were fully reported in our columns at. the time) t, show how carelessly the Caraarvoa Board dispensed their relief. He reminded the Board that they had no definite rutss for tbe granting of relief, and until they bad definite rules relief would be given is undeserving c&iea. After qhotimg from H.M. Inspec- tor's report as to relief iadiBmentUuionsin the country, given acccrdii g to fixed rules he moved that the reso- lution be rssciu led, and the matter be reconsidered.— Captain Mitahellsecoeded the motion.-Mr Rich. Evans ".s sorry Up'aitl Verney blamed th, action of the Carnarvuci Gu\\rùia.,a with re>p-ct to the wonao from Newborougb. The wofumu was in diatrep, and her sous were not in a position to help her. She had to beg the money with whicth to pay the fine imposed upon her, aud he (the speaker) bad giveu her a shill- ing. (LaugKter).—Captain Mitchell thought they had no baeiue's tJ enter into tho affairs of tbe Carnarvon Union, win a a guardian replied that Captain Verney had cimmeuced. (Laughter, and hear. hear).—Mr Lewis scarcely thought that the Boaid deserved the charge. bro i^lit against them by Captaiu Verney, who, in reterring io ths mutter, the speaker alleged, lini made use sf the word "deliberately" eight timet. He could not sse that the case was so very importast, and the Board certainly did not deserve the epithets showered upon them that mornisg.—Mr James was of opinion that they should be very wary before rescinding any resolution, and it really leokod something like child's play in BoaTdofGllardiane to a 1&10. IlItion aud taen sesciud it. (Hear, hear, from Captoin V.tney).-Mr M. Williams aid the Cb.irmau and the board fully ceuiHerad tbe hardehips of the "e at th: time the increase was applied for.-Mr Edwards thought tbat it woul 1 be a bad policy te make a practice of reo scinding motions, but. seme cases justified their doing eel. He moved that the reaulution be allowed to stand, and Mr M. Williams seconded it-Mr Lewis again as. serted that they did not deserve the charge of acting in an undignified manner. It was very often thecisethata pauper after being refused oace applied again, and the matter would be re-considered that was not undig- nified."—Captain Verney admitted that tbat often hap- pened, and it was exactly what be objected to.—The Chairmar4 said that the case was fully gone into at the previous meeting, and he wondered why Captain Verney did nut object to it then.—The amendment, in favour of letting the matter stand, was then put up, and eleven guardians voted for it. Fur Captain Verney's motion only three votes were returned, and he gave ootico that he would re-iutroduee the subject at the next meeting. More Persoyialities.-the"Cl,rk asked the chairman to attend t l a return of divided parishes; Capt. Mitchell could give valuable information on the Llaogoed one, and that gentleman wanted to go.-The Chairman re- plied tbat he could Bee no reason for deviating from the agenda. He hope 1 Capt. Mitchell would stay till that came on. They were very glad to see him, he came so seldom.—Capt. Mitchell objected to the chairi ian com- menting on a members atteadance. It was not fair.— Capt. Veruoy endorsed that opinion, and the matter then droppe t.—The lists were subsequently attended to, but they presented no feature of public interest. The North Wales Lunatic Asylum. Capt. Verney called attention to the fact that the above institution needed enlarging, and the Chairman replied that that was generally known among the guardians. School Attendance Committee.—A. return of the ex- penses of this committee, which amounted to £48 1611 lid for the last quarter, and aa estimate of £38 for the current quarter, were presented. Inquiry O'Kcirt.—The Clerk, replying to Captain Verney, said that he had not received a reply from the Local Government Board with respect to the appoint- ment of relieving offic-rs as itiqu ry officers. Cementing the Workhouse.—It was resolved, on t}ie motion of Captain Verney, seconded by Mr W. Roberts, that tenders be invited, through the medium of the looal newspipars, for the ceuuutiug of the outside por- tion of the house. The remaining business was of a routine nature.

Lloyd was appointed trnstee, and he paid the composition to all the creditors who had proved their debts, and the bankruptcy was closed. A difficulty now arose from two or three creditors having sent in claims which bad not been proved. Brookes was anxieus to sell, hut the question was whether there was anything to ..II.-Mr J. Glynne Jones, the regis- trar, said the bankruptcy had been c'oted some time, but the property had not been re-assigned to the debtnr. The trui>te», unfortunately, was insane, and he (the registrar) did not kuow what cla;xai might have been sent to bim.-Hi. Honour directed the sale, the debtor'. share to be lodged in court until the re- gistrar certified tbat he ..? satisfied ai to tbe claims sent to the trustees.

He stated that the vessel w.n bave'beeo repaired when h. broaght ber to Holyhead, in the diiuraer of 1875. When be reached thft^port, boweter, there were II. carpenters to be had. WitneKft complained 8eVtr.1 times, and tbe owner said he would get it repaired, but did not say where. When witness got to Bangor he could not proceed anv further. He went to John Thomas for three men, for two or three days, to caulk her. It was found that she could not be caulked, and new planks had to be put in, tbe others were so bad. He made tbe owner aware of tbi; by letter, but he got no reply. The owner came over in about a week he went on board fhe veeeel, and saw the men werking. He did not at all object to the repairs, but merely asked if she was very bad V' Mr Francis, inspector under the Merchaot Shipping Act, liaited the ship the aame day and said, Repair her sea-werthily, er let her rot here." Witness Again saw the owner tbat day, who aid that II he would trarel home with Mr Fraueis "he would make it all right with him."

W??it,io.s, after rep.iring the Ship went to Holybead with the bill, when .1ef.u'!M.t .id be ?o.ld not pay it then. He subsequently promised to pay in a fortnight. Th. third time witness called defendant eemplaiued that the bill was "too big." Saw the owner again at Bangor, when" he told witneis that he it was sure to got his uwney."—Croe8-ex*mioed Oefeadant never declared that he would not pay the bill, he only lomplaineoi that it wm high.—Robert Thomas, who at the time wallo plaintiffs employ as c'erkjSftid be went to Holybe&d en October litb, on behalf of the plaintiff, for moaey. Defendant aid that he bad no money at the time he, however, promised to come to Bangor id a fortnight, and would arrange then to p"y the bill either out of the money he would rceiu by sellig the n..el, or out of her ?ruitige.- W*.

D.- feudaut ordered him to repair the vessel, and give her all she wanted,¡,(r All. in his addresa for the defaaoe maintained that the repairs were not absolutely necessary He contended that the master took it upon himself to order the repiir of the vessel without re- ceiving proper Authority. At Bangor station defendant told the plaintiff that he would have to go to the captain for money.—Captain Roberts, the defendant was put in the box, and said that the master knew where to take the vessel to, atl Bangor, for triflng repairs. He did not receive a letter from Wil, liams stating that she needed repair, but he (witness) had written three letters to hit wife. He bad no idea where the "Jane" was. He went to loek for thecaptiio at Bangor, and waited an hour for him. When he made his appearance told him io get her clear. He saw plaintiff at Bangor station, who asked for X20, but be (wituess) said he would not pay him twenty farthings.

He had always, point blankr refuB»d to pay him. Witness denied that he ever tpld the clerk, Thomas, he intoned selling the vessel, and then pay him. The captain left the 11 Jane" in July last, but prior to that he said, referring to plaintiff, "If I were you I'd never py he's a bii$rogue." He told Wil- liams he had no authority.—Here the Judge severely catechised the witness, and asked if all the respective witnesses bad said was false, to which defendant coolly answered fi Certainly."—His Honour then said he should let the case stand as it was, and suggested that Mr Francis should call upon him at the Royal Hotel, Holyhead, on Wednesday morning, when he would like to ask him a few questions. He would reserve his judgment until the next Bangor court.-Mr Allanson informed his Hoaour that Mr Francis should be acquainted with his wish.—"Mr Roberts subsequently asked the Judge to leave his judgment in the hands of the registrar a few days after seeing Mr Francis, so as to facilitate matters, aud his Honour agreed to do so. [We understand that his Honour delivered bi judgment at the Holyhead Court on Wednesday, and wa% fur plaiutiff with fvill cost>] In re. W. N. Bradley.—In this case Mr Louis ap- plied, on behalf of Mr J. W. ROlI;er8, the receiver of the estate of W. N. Bradley, a liquidating debtor residing at Llandudno, f"r an interim or3er to restrain the holder of a bill of sale, Mr Herbert Careless, from reo moving certain goods, the property ef the debtor. Mr S. R. Dew, app-a-ing for Mr Herbert Care. Ivap, auctioneer, Liandudoo, opposed the application. M, Lnu;s stated that it Ippeand from debtor ii he debtor's affidavit that on July 2nd t b :pp,ar.d fr..n gave a bill of sale on his stock of fancy goods and fur- niture to Mr J. W. Rogers to secure; on the face of it, a um of £500. In reality the bill was only for £100. That amount was advanced, and a reeeipt given for £500. Shortly after, it was arranged thot Mr Herbert Careless should pay the amount of the bill, and to be- came security for £50, owisfc to Mr Chamberlain for law costs. That money (Nir Chamberlain's) was secured by a bill of exchange for six months, which became due on Saturday last. The bill of Bale was the. endorsed with a certificate of transfer from Rogers to Careless, and there was a consideration from the debtor to Care less for the goodwill and fixtures of ono of his ahops, situated at and being 95, Mostyn-sireet. In addition to thia Careless got a horse ani cart, valued at £50. Careless therefore got the £ 100 he had paid. On January Sth the debtor filed his petition, and on the 9th (dur- ing the debtor's absence from home) Mr Carless entered into possession and nmoved £100 worth of SOOÙI. A restraining order was then obtained against Careless, and he (Mr Louis) now asked his Honour to make that order perpetual, so as to prevent Mr Carel089 from realisin g on a debt which was nnt him. He snggested that the goods hi tnnded over to the receiver.-Mr Dew said his client had protection under the 12tb seetion of th* Bankruptcy Act. HH had obhined the goads under the bill of sale for £G3 still due-to his client. Haifthe speaker) wotili aree to the receiver holding possession of what he now had, but none of that already recovered under the bill ef sale. That, his client w.a entitled to retain. He (Mr Dew) was instructed that the goods did not "lue more than £ 35. J. W. Rogers, the receiver, was examined, and stated that he took a bill of sale from Mr Bradley for £100. He was pid off in the shop and horse and cart, £50 owiag from Mr Careless by Mr Bradley. The bill, although drawn for 1500, WM in reality only for £100. Mr Careless hid removed goods to the value of about £iO. Those goods wpre at Warrington House, belonging to Mr Felton.—By Mr Dow Witness instructed the preparation of the bill of sale, but not for X500, Nevertheless signed it, because Mr Bradley asked hira to take a bill for £500, and ad- vance £ lùO, so as to accommodate the debtor. Did not consriderthe proceeding a fraudulent one. Did not seek for the appointment of receiver, but did not feel sorry be waa appointed.—His Honour directed the restrain- ing order to be made perpetual, and gave the receiver to un leritand that be was not to dispose of the money until after the next court. An Account for Ladqiwjt.—In an adjourned case in which Alln Jones, a ledging heuse keeper, residing At Mill-street, Bethesda, ened Mra Davies, who keeps a number of horses and cars, for payment for the board and lodeing of two drivers in the latter'a employ.- Mr Louis defeaded.—The plaintiff aid tbe defendant brought the men there, and agreed to pay for their board aod lodging.—T. Williams and Rdward JeMa two other drivers, give corroborative evidence. Mr Louis contended that his client never agreed to pay the board of her drivers.- Krs Davie. wa. examined and said she never promised to pay for any of her drivers' boo-d, and never paid plaintiff any moaey.—Mr Louis submitted that his client was not liable for the amount claimed (which did not transpire).—His Honour, however, gave judgment for ,1.i..tiff. In re R. 0. Thomas, a BI/nkrupt, living in IAan- ddt1niolen.Yr J. Roberts applied for the eontinllattnn of the injunctions restraining the 8her:ff from Ae11in2.- Mr Louis appeared for the execution creditor, Mr S. J. Bibby, watchmaker, Carnarvon.—Mr Roberts eaid the question, in a great measure, would turn on tbe question whether the del,t"r was a trader or not. The bankrupt's petition described him as a commission tWnt vt broker, which was proved by the affidavit of ge,iire Klli* and Owen, morble mercbaet., Abery«twitb, who appointed him as their agent. The debtor was also a farmer and a quarryman—a skilful workman.— Mr Roberts showed, thit in his opinion, bis client might be considered a trader, as described in schedule 1 of the Bankruptcy Act.—Mr Louis contended that not one of these would make the bankrupt a trader within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Laws. He was only a char- terer, and traded under restraint. The fact of his being a quarryraan clearly exempted him from the Bankruptcy Laws. He a^ked his Honour to let the sherriff sell, ss the debtor was not a trader.—Mr Roberts showed that his client was a cowkeeper, and that certainly made him a trader.—Hia Honour reserved his decision until next court. A.tl,e, Application in Bankruptcy. —Mr George Thomaa, Carnarvon, made an ex parte application in the matter of Wro. Davies, R bankrupt, residing at Eb*n- ezer, near Carnarvon, on behalf of the trustee to order the pr".eol1\ion of tbs ".btnr, unler section 11 of the Act, 1869, for the fraudulent removal of a cart. — His Honour grmte<1 the oHev.

Evans, Holywell, appeared for plaintiff, and Mr J. Roberts defended.—The plaintiff said his brother owed him, originally, a debt. of £40 paid his- by instalmeute of ahout £2, from time to time. Had asked several t;m"a for the money; defendant never denied bis liab. ility, and paid £8 odd. He now owed him the amount claimed.—Mr Roberts eontended that his client only br)rrowed X8, which he had paid. He aekddplaintitr to produce hi. account, but he could not. Neither eould he name the dates ou which the amounts were paid, nor the exact amoHote,—Mrs Roberti corroborated her husband.—Robert Roberts, the defendant was next ex. amined and acknowledged that he had borrowed £ from his brother, He wa, no6 aware of having borrowed any more, but had promised to help the plaiatifr, who was iu ill health,—^The plaintiff informed the judge that he thought he had letters ip his possession (at home) asking for the loans, and his Honour ordered the case to jund over for the production of those letters.
