I Correspondence. I MARC IIWIE L rkrisa COUNCIL. I '"JIR,—Kindly allow me Jo correct some inaccurate I T.Mcruent. mad e at the last meeting of the AV.risu Council. It was reported thit I hid SUlu ilt ot the district council msetiugs than a Wui e ran into the pump from the c:iurc!iv.ir.l, and ibst gieal stress was laid on this when the C'osing- c rder wa* applied for. I can only say that no such r^-xa vrk ever fell from my lips at any of tne district ••anail meetings. Further, that I taken no part in tie moriis or demerit of water until after 11.11 raaoiu t ons were taken, when I did say. in reply tote.: chairmau's remarks, that he was surprised a.t the r»t'-mayor's of IVIarchwiel, that it was not the rate- payers" who objected, except those who took the w.sTier. At the sftine time I did not personall' object If the water was good, but I had heard th-eio was a t;ioi on the water alter standing a night in :t can. TJiit why all this talk, when the wat.r had already h'!ùn analysed and found to contain vegetable ya Alter ? Reference was also made to the Aldington parno at Rossett. but the members of the district council considered there was no comparison between the two analyses. Besides, the Wrexham water m>tin,¡ were in Mvrehwiel, and no water mams waat- nver in Allington whereby the people couid obtain water, except from the pump, and that not near any I churchyard. Again, Mr \V.t..ker, e:erk to the March- wiel Parish Council, represented that body at the I magistrates' meeting in opposition to the application, SInd he has told me since that he had not a leg to at and on when a. sample of the water was produced by ifr Palmer, after being kept in the bottle some time. t'he fact is when water used for domestic purposes is foutd by analysis to be dangerous to the public fcei!"h, every aauitary auihorjty is bound to condemn the contaminated mmp or well. Mr Price thoug t proper to complain of the rents paid by my tenan in the village. This is a private matter. However, I may say that the rents of the fiottages alluded to will compare favourably, includ- ing the water rate, with the rents paid for similar Cot-ages in the village without a water supply. Mr Price charges me with having the pipe of the village pump shortened. This is also inaccurate. 1 ot on the sauitarv committee at that time. But I did this-I supplied the smith with a piece of piping Tor the purpose of lengthening the pump about four years ago. Tuese matters have to be dealt with in the interest of the public health. It is better, I think, that action has been taken before the outbreak of an epidemic, as was the case at Worthing last year, where a large -,iutnber of people were attacked with typhoid fever, traceable to the impure water of a wall.-f am, Ac., JosErH W.

Hooson, of Rhos, soliciting 'j." opinion, together with afew practical suggestions. He r. plied as foUov a :— Victoria House, Rhosllanerchrugog, October 8th, 1895. Dear Sir,-Your letter of the 6th has been sent to ne here, in reply to which I beg to state that owing i:> my many engagements, that I have not sufifcient i tiino or inclination to devote to the subject you men- tion at present. I shall have pleasure in perusing the scheme you intend drawing up. Wishing you every success, I am, yours respectfully, E. HOOSON. Mr Richard Bithell, The Store3, Plasbennion. WREXHAM INFIRMARY.—A SUGGESTION. SIR,-In view of the special efforts now being made to augment the funds of this noble institution, might I suggest the following as being at least worthy of trial, and likely to ensure a much better result. In addition to having the usual Hospital Saturday and Sunday collections in our streets and churches, I would recommend that boxes, with a suitable inscription, be at once provided and distributed (by permission of the employers, &c.), amongst the various works, collieries, breweries. leather works, hotels, and large shopkeepers, under the care and supervision of a responsible person in each establish- ment, who would make a personal appeal to each employ4 (wherever possible) to contribute say a half-penny or one penny per week to this fund. This amall contribution would scarcely be felt by the humblest artisan, none of whom would, I feel sure, refuse to subscribe their mite weekly The persons in charge of the boxes, would no doubt see that they were kept in a prominent position in the work or shop, especially cn pay days. We have. of course, no means of knowing what, at present, is the amount subscribed by the work- people generally, and it would be impertinent to question any man's gifts, but foe the sake of com- parison I think wo may say that under the present arrangement a. workman will give what at the time a I he can racy well spare, and think he hits fulfilled Lis obligations, whereas under the plan now suggested he would contribute at least eight times as much and never feel it, as the amount would be so very small weekly, and thus our Infirm- ary would be very materially benefitted financially, and it3 usefulness very greatly increased, Th'is system is in use in Manchester and Salford, and other litrlye towns, and wherever adopted has proved very successful, and there is no reason why it should Hot prove equally as successful at Wrexham, as our people are open hearted and generous. A very great deal of work is necessary and much sacrifice of time by our very worthy collectors in oruer to raise sufficient funds to carry on the institu- ti,.)zi, and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the secretary and his noble band of helpers for their -.elf-denying labours, and it is a great pity that after '.)! the amount subscribed is so small for such a town d Wrexham. If the amount now given can be so .sily increased without hurting anyone, I think it -v-iuld gladden the hearts of the Infirmary officials. :.ud also be the means of very largely increasing its vi.-fnlness. I would especially urge the claims of the Infirmary •t^ion those whom God has blessed with abundant leans. Let these give as He has prospered them and as in His sight. Let the working men also see to that this institution, provided for their healing, is t,) forgotten, and by a contribution of as much as .-osoiole they show their appreciation of the benefits ,(1 generously provided for them in their time of [ shall be pleased to see this matter taken up by L;iose in authority, and if I can be of any further use, ,'y humble services are at their disposal. Sample collecting boxes, sucu as are used in Ichester and Salford, can be easily procured from Secretary of the Hospital Saturday and Sunday •'and, who will no doubt be also very glad to furnish „uy further information required.-I am, &c., PRO Boio PUBLICO. THR WORTHENBURT ROAD NUISANCB. SIR,-I was pleased to see in lost week's issue of yonr paper, two letters referring to this nuisance. The language used by both writers indeed, in my opinion but Moderate, and it is quite time something was done in the matter. I believe the question of thigopen ditch lias o before the Wrexham Rural Sanitary Committee ,.ver:il occasions, the only consolation received oy he residents being an order by that Authority. "That this ditch be cleared out." The cleaning out ss has been at intervals; but with what result ? Why that sewage which has been lying dormant tt ih; bottom o' the culvert for months, is thrown out on the surface, no deodorizing agent of any kind 'eing used, so that the nuisance instead of being r mui.:ed is converted into one ten times worse, liaugor lying at such a low level, and from its •: i ixnuitv to the rivar, heavy mists being so frequent, ou may well imasrine what a treat it is to pass along Liiit road towards evening. What the cottagers' _.r is known only to themselves. the formation of a Parish Council it was ,uglit that something would be done towards this and one man I believe actually lodged a com- p• laint. We then had a solemn, stately march of a members of the Parish Council to tbe ditch, the- -U;ll amount of talk, but so far no benefit litis ,ued from their investigations, nor could I see .tnt h e report of the r -mi the report of the couacil meeting that a>y i lous step had been taken towards remedying this ■;cfcct. -'ow the question arises as to how this change is !»--oiue about V I say it is the work of the Parish v'.> lncil. It would, I am sure look far better, than • lo .4Le reports of meetings with such a show of per- • o i i l feeling. Our Council is an expensive one, nn 1 1 4.link, having had their fun they may settle to work. There is plenty of talent in it, .:iaoocl MCI, as councillors if they only made up minds to do something. laving done something for the drainage of tbe ,ge, let then improve the water supply. There necessity for the shareholders in the \V're\ham Ler Works Company to fatteik on the Louse- ,L;r9 in Bangor by bringing a. supply here. .\require a good supply of water. Tuo source is at liand, and if we are compelled, as we can be ? present state of circumstance, to have our -?f u y from the Wrexham people, it will now be tVu'v due to the apathy of our own Parish 'i.Uicil. V ndicious expenditure in improving the supply h've already got isallwe require. Let us take It isoll froui Marchwiel, remembering it is not ia dUiY the Council owes to the present residents ngor, but one owing to future generations, in mg them from a compulsory water rate.

He had to report, however, that lie found one of the lengths of hose unconnected with the stand pipe, and ho liad pointed out that the hone should be affixed, and a glass frame placed round it as at the Public Hall. lIe also reoonimended that the tire buckets should be hung up, and filied with water. There v/as a large amount of rubbidi and litter under the stage, which Mr Edgar promised should be removed. In reply to a question, Mr Edgar promised that the alterations mentioned should be iiiittle. They did not Iucan more than about two hours work. Mr Benjamin Owen a.sked Mr Edgar if he kept a man on the premises during perform- ances. Mr Edgar said he did. The licence was then granted, Mr Edgar's sureties being Mr F. L. Scotcherand Mr Jonathan Barber. Mr Coppack applied for the theatrical licence in respect of the Public Hall. The Borough Surveyor reported that he had inspected the Public Hall, and found that the whole of the regulations had been complied with. He recommended that a hand-rail should be fixed on the north side of the stage during per- formances, and this Mr Coppa.ck had agreed to do. In reply to Mr Owen, Mr Coppack said that a. man was kept on the hall during perform- ances. The licence was granted, Mr Coppack's sureties being Mr J. F. Edisbury and Mr W. J.

I "William Beswick Tomlinson, a billposter, was summoned by Mr J. T. Morgan, Chester-street, Wrexham (for whom Mr Wynn Evans appeared), for having maliciously injured property belong- ing to him by having, on September 23rd, de- troyed bills which had been posted by the com- plainant upon his private and p■••■j^ected billpost- ing stations. Mr Wynn Evans the informa- tion was laid un-der Section 52 of the Malicious Injuries to Property Act. Defendant sometime ago had been in the employ of the complainant, but was discharged for some misconduct. Defend- ant went to Carnarvon, and thence wrote to Mr Morgan demanding money by threats. For this he was prosecuted, and at the Carnarvonshire Assizes was sentenced by Mr Justice Lawrence to three months' imprisonment, in addition to which he had been in prison for four months previously. Since then Tomlinson had exhibited a fierce hatred towards the complainant, and on the date in question was seen to destroy five bills belonging to Mr Butt, jeweller, High-street, and defendant had sent a postcard to Mr Butt advis- ing him to look after his small bills.—Mr J. T. Morgan said the defendant had been in his employment but was discharged. He had been imprisoned for demanding money by threats. The defendant had not only destroyed bills upon private stations, but had posted bills of his own ou them.—In reply to the defendant, complainant denied that he had ever sent defendant round to cover up bills belonging to other people. Neither was it true that his sons had done so. It was not true that the present summons had been issued to protect his own character in another matter.—Hugh Jones. employed by Mr Elias. Henblas-street, and Richard Evans, also employed in the same place, proved having seen the defend- ant paste bills on Mr Morgan's station in Mount- street.—Defendant explained to the Court the circumstances under which he had been dis- charged and prosecuted at Carnarvon, and said he wanted to open the eyfes of the public as to the character of this man (meaning the complainant). —The Magistrates' Clerk pointed out that the- Court had nothing whatever to do with the former case.—Defenaant said he did not see any indica- tion on the posting station in question that it was private property. Complainant had sent his man out to cover bills which defendant had posted, and yet he accused defendant of what he cailed vindictive posting." Defendant said he had been sent out by complainant hundreds of times to cover bills belonging to Mr Frank Jones and Messrs Aston.—Defendant was fined 10s 61 and costs, with 2s 6d damages.

The complainant did not appear, and Mr Vaughan, D.C.C., said he had reason to believe that the matter had been -1 settled." He wished the caso investigated, and applied for sum- mouses to secure the attendance of the prose- cutrix and the witness, and intimated that the police would -orosecute.-The application was granted. 1 THE ADJOURNED CASE. In the case of Dennis McManus, who was charged with causing injuries to Thomas Wynne on September 21st, Inspector Robinson said that Wynne, who was at the Infirmary, was still un- conscious, and the doctor stated that the man was rather worse.

I WREXHAM COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT. I MONDAY, OCTOBER 7TH. 1 Before Dr. Edward Davies and W. Overton, I Esq. I STEALING WHISK T. John Thomas, of B, vmbc), and John Humph- reys, of Rhos, were in custody, charged with stealing a bottle of whisky, value 3s 6d, the pro- porty of Mr Ll. Carrington, landlord of the Cross Foxes Hotel, Coedpoeth. The prosacutor said he saw the prisoners in his house on Wednesday at about nine o'clock. They were sober, and he supplied each with twopenny- worth of whisky. They were in about a quarter of an hour. As they were going out they were supplied with half-a-piut of whisky, and half a pint of rum. They called again on the following morning with the empty bottles. They were given fourpence for the bottles and they left. H,ilf-au-hour afterwards prosecutor missed a three-half pint bottle of whisky from a shelf in the bar. There were footmarks on the settle underneath the shelf. He gave information to the police. The value of the bottle of whisky was 3s 6d. P.C. Parry said he apprehended the pri- soners in an outbuilding about tfliree quarters of a mile from the Cross Foxes. :That was aboat eleven o'clock on Thursday morning. They were both asleep. The officer awakened them. Thomas was far gone in drink, and tho other prisoner was helplessly drunk.

WREXHAM NATIONAL SCHOOLS.
WREXHAM NATIONAL SCHOOLS. Tuesday next will be a memorable day in the ] history of the National Schools at Wrexham, for on that day the foundation stone of the new Girls' School will be laid by the Duchess of West- minster. Happily, as wo hare said before, the religious difficulty does not exist a.t Wrexham, although there is a School Board there are no Board Schools. The education of the children of Nonconformist or undenomina-tionzyl parents are admirably provided for in tho British Schools, and the children of Churchpeople and others are taught exceedingly well at the Natioual Schools. Wrexham has rea.son to be proud of its schools. The Madeira Hill Schools were built in 1884, from plans prepared by Mr Edward Jones, M.S.A., and ure in all respects models of wha.t school buildings should be. Unfortunately these Schools can be used for boys and infants only, a.nd Tenters Hill School, used for the girls, is entirely insufficient and unworthy of the town of Wrexham. Its condemnation by tha Education Department r has made the erection of a new building absolutely necessary. In 1893, Her Majesty's Inspector stated that the now school about to be erected was urgently needed, and in 1894 he added to his report the significant words, I am to request, you to state the date at which the managers expect the new Girls' School to be ready." Plans for a new Girls' School were prepared by Messrs. Morrison and Son, and approved by the Educa- tion Department, to be erected on a site adjacent to the Madeira Hill School, and, as will ba seen from our engraving, harmonising with them I in their style of architecture. In the befinniiig: of the year, an appeal was issued for sub- scriptions, Mr Overton and Mr Soames heading the list with £ 200 each, the Duke of Westminster afterwards following with £250, The response, thanks to the energy of the treasurer, Mr Overton was so liberal, that the managers soon felt justified in inviting tenders, as they found they could rely upon a sum of R2,400, but as the lowest tender was L4,060, and far ex-1 ceeded the amount they anticipated, they felt com- pelled to reduce their expenditure. This they found could only be done by dispensing with cooking room and scullery, which caused a reduction of IE200, and I two class rooms and a cloak room, which would save JESOO. The managers therefore were re- luctently obliged to sign a contract for this scheme, bringing the amount for which the made therr.selves responsible down to 23,000. But the contractors have agreed to carry out the whole of the scheme for £ 4,010, provided that the sum needed for the deducted portions, viz., zei,ooo, can be raised by the roof timbers arereadv for fixing, as originally intended. The managers earnestly hope that the friends of the school will not allow so noble a work to be mutilated through lack of funds. They especially regret the pos- sibility of the omission of the accommodation for the cookery classes, which they rightly believe would be of especial advantage in training girls for their future life.
I WREXHAM BANKRUPTCY COURT.
I WREXHAM BANKRUPTCY COURT. I TUESDAY, OCT. 8TH. I Before Mr A. C. Preston, Registrar. I FAILURE or AN ACREFAIR JOINER. George Humphreys, joiner, Glensbrook Cottage, Acrefair, was publicly examined. The statement of affairs showed the liabilities to be £ 158 23 9d, and the assets £ 15 lis 5d leaving a deficiency of JE140 lis 4d. The debtor alleged that the causes of failure was "slackness of trade and not getting enough work to carry on." In answer to the assistant Official Receiver (Mr Hugh Roberts), the debtor said he commenced business about twenty years ago without capital. He had taken contracts up to ElO and JE15. He had never contracted to build a house or shop. He lost P,14 through the bankruptcy of a man named Charles Mason, and over .£9 through the bankruptcy of Samuel Jones, boiler maker, receiving 2d in the £ in the latter case. He signed a bill for William Davies, Plaskynaston Stores, and lost £ 7 or L8. He went bail for a man named Black, and it cost him JESS altogether. He owed Mr Coward, of Llangollen, JE70 for timber. Mr Coward had never pressed him. He owed Messrs Roberts and Son, ironmongers, Rhosy- medre, JE37. His brother-in-law, G. Wood, Fitz Claronce-street, Liverpool, had lent him money. He had scheduled him for £ 30, but he was sura he had borrowed more. His wife claimed tha furniture, with the exception of about X5 worth, under a hire purchase agreement. He had objected to getting the furniture, and had had nothing to do with it. He had earned about JE1 a week on the average during tho last twelve! months. He had known for the last six years that he could not pay his debts in full. His life was insured for 250 and his brother-in-law had the policy. He did not know that his brother- in-law had the policy, until after he had signed his petition. His wife must have sent the policy away some time back. The examination was adjourned. I TUB FAILURE OF A COLLWHN MERCHANT. In the case of David Jones, merchant, Glandwr Farm, Corwen, Mr Hugh Roberts applied for the close of the examination. The debtor ha.d attended at Chester, and had explained his books as far as he could. They had been very badly kept, and it wits not possible for him to render a correct cash account. Neither could he correctly show which accounts had been paid, and which unpaid. Two or three book debts had been dis- covered which had not been scheduled. The examination was closed. I THK FAILURE OF A FARMER. I The public examination of Evan Jeffreys, I farmer, formerly tenant of the Dolydd outfall sewage farm, Cefn Mawr, was closed. I A LLAXGOLLEX CURRIER'S AFFAIRS. Jclin Edward Hughes, residing at Birch Villa, Llangolle:i, aud carrying on business as a tanner and currier, at Hall-street, Llangollen, and Penybont Druid, Corwen, was publicly examined. The statement of affairs showed the hubilities to amount to £1674 13s 8d, and the assets to JE418 53 5d. leaving a deficiency of X1264 8s 3d. In answer to Mr Hugh Roberts, he said that the tannery business he commenced at Corwen, was a speculation all through. He had not prepared a balance sheet during the last half a dozen years and he was not in a position at any particular I time to sn.y how he stood. He had made an offer of a. composition to his creditors. The examination was closed. I A FARMER IN DIFFICULTIES. I Edward Jones, farmer, Cold Chimney Farm, Hope, was publicly examined. His liabilities wore stated to amount to z2364 183 7d, and his assets to £119 16s 8d, leaving a deficiency of! JE225 Is lid. The failure was attributed to waul; I of capital, and to the depression in trade. In his remarks, the Official Receiver stated that he did not estimate that the assets would reach half the value at which they were put down. and tliz-Li creditors must therefore be prepared for a, small dividend. The debtor stated that he commenced fanning seven years ago. He then had about JE300, half j of which was his wife's. In addition to Cold Chimney Farm, the rent of which was £ 55 a vear, he held land known as the Topland, rent JE55 a year, and also six acres ac Myllinold, reut JE5 10s. He had borrowed mo"ey from money lendera. He had borrowed R40 in April last, and was to pay back £56 in six months. From another he borrowed 245, and was r.> pav ¡ back R55 in monthly instalments of C3. He had lost sheep and cattle. He had never kept books, and had never tried to make an account to show how he stood. He had never repaid his wife tha money she ha.d lent him. j The examination was closed. I HE Auincr. COXOX. In the case of Authur Coxon, gunsmith alid naturalist, Charles-street, Wrexham, Mr Hugh Roberts asked for an adjournment until the aext court. That morning an incomplete statement of affairs bad been put in. It was not sworn to, and required amendment. I The Registrar ordered that tho statement should be completed in two days, and adjourned j the examination until the next court.

Ellis, C. Hughes, R. J. Powell, E. Jones, John Dutton, and R. J. Kendrick, clerk. The first business was the election of a chair- man, and Mr R. J. Powell said he had very great pleasure in proposing that Mr William Ellis be re-elected chairman of the Board for the next three years. Mr Ellis had already filled the position with marked ability. During the last three years, the Board ha.d added to their schools, and the bulk of the work in connection with the negociations with the Wrexham Board, fell upon the chairman, and he carried it through with marked success. Mr Ellis presided over their meetings with fairness, and with great amiability of temper. He was secretary of a company which was the largest ratepayer in the parish, and thus had an eye to the expenditure, while he also had the cause of education very near at heart. He had great pleasure in proposing Mr Ellis as chairman for the next three years. Mr C. Hughes seconded. He endorsed all Mr Powell had said, and added that among other things Mr Ellis, in conjunction with the late Mr B. E. Humphreys, considerably reduced the con- tribution to the Broughton Board. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr Ellis said he had to thank them very heartily for the renewal of their confidence by unanimously eleoting him to the honourable position of chairman of this Board for the fourth consecutive triennial period. He could only assure them that in the future, as in the past, no effort should be spared on his part to merit, in some degree at least, a continuance of that confidence, and he had no doubt, with their valued assistance, that the coming three years would see a con- tinuity of the very harmonious relations which had existed between the members of the Board throughout the past nine years, during which he had enjoyed the honour of being its chairman. He could not allow this opportunity to pass with- out expressing their deep regret at the loss the Board had sustained in the death of their late colleague, Mr Edwin Ellis Humphreys, and their sympathy with his family in the still greater loss they had sustained. Mr Humphreys was a most useful and zealous member of the Board, and rendered very able service at all times, not only upon this Board, but also as his colleague in re- presenting Stansty upon the Broughton School Board. He took a deep interest in educational matters, and indeed in all public business con- nected with the parish, and he would bo missed very much. They have, however, to welcome as his successor a worthy representative of the parish in Mr John Dutton, a gentleman known to them all as having the interests of Stansty at heart. Mr Dutton had done good service in other direc- tions during his long residence in Stansty, and he felt sure his intelligent interest in the question of education would prove a useful acquisition. He thought that it was a very satisfactory condition oi things that this new Board like so man v. if not all its predecessors, had been elected without a contest. He thought it spoke well for the mutual good feeling of the various interests of Stansty, and they might very fairly congratulate themselves as a Board that their efforts in con- nection with educational matters met with the approval of the community at large. As he was unable to be present at the last meeting of the old Board, might he take this opportunity of thank- ing the members for their kind vote of thanks for hi.. service3 during the past three years. He appreciated very highiy the kindly feeling prompting this vote, although he felt keenly that his services left a good deal to be desired. He should perhaps say a word or two about their im- mediate future. As they knew from tho cor- respondence they had had with the Education Department, a further enlargement of the schools appeared to be absolutely necessary, and they should, as a new Board, have to at once take up this question. As they also knew, it was only two or three years ago since the last addition was made, in the shape of accommodation for 130 infants, and on that occasion the schools, which to that time had existed as one department, were divided into two, viz., elder scholars and infants." This last addition being rendered necessary by the large number of infants attend- ing from the borough of Wrexham, an amicable arrangement was come to with the Wrexham School Board, by which they contributed the cost of the building and a proportion of the main- tenance. In the same way, the further additional accommodation now necessary was principally owing to the large and increasing number of elder scholars attending from the borough, so that thev were of opinion that the Wrexham Board should again come to their assistance. So far they did not see eye to eye with them on the question, but said there was ample room in the existing town schools. This argument was all very well so far as it went, but it lost sight of one important point, and that was the right of parents to send their children to the school they themselves pre- ferred. There was a large and growing popula- tion on the side of the borough adjoining their sc h ,,)o l district, an d I n school district, and it did seem to him harHlv tho -J '-iJ.J.V I right thing that the parents in this district should b<i told that they must take their children awav troai ii fully-equipped and ablv-conducted school close to their own doors, and send them a long distance to schools at the other side of the town. I, In vei-y many cases, too, the infants were sent to their schools in charge of their elder brothers and sisters, ana it would be unkind, if not unjust, to the little ones to deprive them, under such circumstances, of the care of the bigger ones. For i other reasons, they were hoping that the V. rexham Board would yet see its way to meet them, as it would be a great deal leis cost for the town to assist them with a grant to enlarge i thsLr jclio >id, where ground wa.s already pro- i vidd, than to purchase land and build an | opposition school in the neighbourhood. As regarded their general work, he thought he might say that their motto in the past had been -hfliciency with economy." Efficiency had always been their first consideration, as the record of their schools proved; whilst at the same tini?they hd never lost sight of the necessity of  spending the rat?- c,mfully and economically spending the rate- payers' money. He Mt sure they would agree that this policy was still the right ODC to follow. "Without speaking at ail boastfully, he thought ii would be granted that the results at Staostv Schools, and tiie various scholarships carried off by pupils from time to time, bore verv f;LN oui-itble comparison with the able town schools, and did credit to the energy and ability of their head- master, *u- V^,ykes, during his long service with them, and his competent staff of assistants. Aud m Thcinas, the head-mistress of the new I:; £ :uit Department, they felt sure they had an squally capable, efficient, and painstaking teacher. 1 Lü .-iiould perhaps call their attention to an impouaiit item in this year's code relative to section 84b of the coda read as ioli.-v, Tiro inspector's annual visit (Art. 20) to a SGhool may, with the sanction of the Department, be omisted. In such cases the insiccior will pay, as a rule, ("taring the school year, two visits, which will usually be without notice. Notice of the intention to omit the annual visit will be given by the Department with the report for the previous school year." Instruc- tion No. 3 gave a little more light on the subject, as follows It has been decided to extend to schools for older scholars the provision of the code by which the annual examination has been allowed to be omitted in the case of infant schools, and occasional visits of inspection have been sub- stituted. It is the intention of the Department that this provision should be applied to schools which have reached upon the whole a good educational standard." On the face of it, this seems to place in the hands of inspectors a very grave power, and a power which might be found extremely difficult to wield fairly and impartially. "Whether two systems of examination, one annual" and another intermittent would work together satis- factorily in any one district, or even as a whole, remained to be seen but it looked very like dividing schools into two classes-those exempt from annual inspection as efficient," and those not exempt as "inefficient." It was, at all events, a most important departure, and de- manded the serious and careful attention of all school managers. He was sorry that at their first meeting their schools were closed by the Sanitary Authority, consequent upon so much sickness of a contagious nature. About that time last year the schools were closed for a con- siderable period owing to the then prevalence of fever. This time they were closed owing to an outbreak of measles, and an outbreak, un- fortunately, not confined to this district, as other schools in the adjoining townships were also closed for similar reasons. He might be pardoned if he just mentioned that, as the late Board, they passed through a rather unique ex- perience, an experience which might have cost them their existence as a School Board. The Wrexham borough last year were of opinion that the time had cok,.ie when they might extend their boundaries by taking in a portion of Stansty and other parishes or townships. The inhabitants and public bodies of these townships, including themselves, were, i-ioweve-, of a decidedly different opinion, and proved to the satisfaction of the Local Government Board, at the public inquiry, held in January last, that the time for such ex- tension had not come. Whether such a time would come or not would now be a question for the twentieth century. He trusted that the triennial period they were now entering upon might prove a very memorable and successful one in the history of the Stansty School Board. He moved that their old friend, Mr Charles Hughes be re-elected vice-chairman. Mr Hughes might well be styled the father of the Board. He was by far the oldest member of the Board, and lie had always been a very useful member, indeed, he thought, he was the most useful member of the Board. His practical knowledge of building had been very useful in the various extensions, and he was always to the front when any repairs had to be carried out. Mr Edward Jones seconded, and the motion wa.a unanimously agreed to. Mr Hughes thanked the members. He said the post was a sinecure. He had only been called upon twice during the nine years their worthy chairman had been on the Board. The Clerk said he had received aa order from the Wrexham Rural District Council ordering the school to be closed for a month, from October 4th. The Clerk announced the death of Mr E. E. Humphreys, a late member of the Board. On the motion oi the Chairman, seconded bv the Vice-Chairman, a vote of sympathy was passed with the late Mr Humphrey's family. The average attendances for the past five weeks had been as follows :—Elder scholars, weekending September 6th, 267 13th, 263 20th, 254 Se p teniber 6th, 267 15tti, 263 20tii, 254 2 7 1. 1 1 236 October 4th, 195. Infants September 6th, 160 13th, 158 20th, 153 27th, 124 October 4ch, 87. More than a third of the number of the children on the books were absent at the time the schools were closed. Mr Wykes, the lieadma ster, drew attention to the fact that scholars had gone to schools in Wrexham. It was decided to clli the attention of the Urban Authority to the fact. M sssrs C. Hughes and J. Dutton were ap- pointed visitors. It was decided to petition for an increase for' the.graut payable under section 97.
JUDGMENT IN wTHE LADIES'I…
JUDGMENT IN w THE LADIES' I SCHOOL CASE AT RHYL. At Rhyl County Court on Monday morning, ITis Honour ,J udge Sir Horatio Lloyd ga.ve jiiJgiinja; in the action brought by Miss Coomack, a governess, to recover X50 dtinnis from the Misses Trolld,d, of iilenrathra Ladiei' bcuool, for wrongful dismissal. He said it WAS a very disagreeable case to decide. On the one hand, they had a lady who had been accustomed for years to gain her liveihood as a teacher, apparently with ciey.it to herself and on the other, they had the proprietors of a ladies' school of repute, and in which, so far as he could gather, no such contretemps as this had ever before occurred. It was very unfortunate that such a mis- understanding should have arisen. Under ordinary- circuaistauces the plaintiff would have been entitled to the usual legal notice. The question was vrhetia c-r the circumstances were of such a nature as to justify summary dismissal. The only ground upou will ch the defeiida.nta justlied their action was that on tho 30th of :\L\.y tile plaintiff refused to carry out a. certain order given to her by her employer, which was itself a legal and reasonable one. Mi3s Trousdell said that during cue three or iour weeks Miss Coomack had been at the school, there had been increasing did- agreeableness between her aud the pupils. Thev tij,.1 heard tile: story of how the young ladies had been sent out by Miss Coomack one bv one. He had lived lony enough to judge the value of evidence cf that kind. He hoped he was not to old to remember that he was once young himself— (laughter) -and he knew ho.v youug people in schoo? di.i foolish things, ani used what was called cheeK" :o teachers ana others, and which they we;:e not very willing to admit afterwards. But making ail due allowance for that, they had sti'l a certain consistent account of wiia* took piace on the day the summary dismissal took piaje. After what had taken place on the previous day he couid quite understand the plaintiff being indignant, atid it was natural that she should say something to the young ladies. Aa she was adaressiuf? them Miss Trousdell came ill, and L:cc-, that altercations of this kind would iiuerit.ro with the work of tlu school, and with the laiereat oi the pupils, aiie said, Let us go on with the ie*»ou don'J Jet as refer back to this. I have hfird what the gjrls said, ana they deny what has taken pia-jo. Miss Coomack refused to obey what was a lawful and reasonable onder, an,d this refusal i-Lb-I le(i Lu lier L had led to her instant dismirtsai. The plaintiff's vers.on was ti»at Alias TrvusOeil had ordered her out of the room, but even according to Miss Coomask's evidence it was obvious thai Miss Trousdell wished ;Ie t¡ P'0,:c.d, the statement that she ordei^d the piainciff of the rootIl was therefore lie w is bound by the strictly legal view of the matter to hold that a lawful and reason- able request ha.d been made, which tiie plaintiff refused to carry out. But he thought that, having regard to the ineuuless and unproLtutod position ot I the pf .iiniii, she hau <liMorve-l u. lits'.e taore con- siderate treatment at the bands of the defendants. ,.t. judgment for Uie As a com- ment on wL,L. he had ah-ea iy said, he should not any order itS to costs.

1 WREXHAM CORPORATION.
1 WREXHAM CORPORATION. A meeting of the General Purposes Committee of the Wrexham Town Council was held on Wednesday, when in the absence of the chairman, the Mayor (Mr Charles Murless) was voted to the chair. There were also presentAlderman Done, Councillors J. Hopley Pierce, James Whittinghain, J. A. Chadwick, James Fraser, and R. Williamson Mr Thomas Bury, town clerk Mr J. W. M. Smith, borough surveyor; and Mr Charles Moore, sanitary inspector. I THE HACKNEY CARRIAGES. Mr IooRE reported tha.t ou September 22nd, James Cartwright was found driving a hackuey carriage belonging to Mr Peter Prytherch without having a driver's licence. The Inspector said that Cartwright had applied for a licence, but him failed to comply with the formalities. The Inspector added that be had inspected the hackney carriages and cabs plying for hire in the borough and found them sittisfactory. The INSPECTOR added that Mr Prytherch had told him that Cartwright had only dri ven from the stand near the station, but he had pointed out that this stand was in the borough. Mr PIE lie E said Mr Prytherch had told him the same thing, and he had given the same answer. Alderman DONE said the case was worse than if the man had not known what to do. lie had applied for a licence, and although lie had not got one, lie went on driving. On the motion of Alderman DONK, seconded by Mr WHIXXINGIIAJI, it was ordered that a summons be issued. On the motion of Mr DONE, seconded by Mr FIIASEE, the report of the inspector was adopted. A TELEGliAPII POLE. The BOROUGH SURVEYOR reported upon the app!i-a- tion (referred to him) for the placing of a telegraph pole in Holt-street. He recommended tha.t it should be put on a spot he indicated, because the place puiuted out by the authorities was just opposite the site of houses about to be erected. The MAYOR suggested that the pole should be placed in the field close to the spot named by the Surveyor. It was agreed that this should be recommended to the telegraph authorities. THE TRAMWAY. The B«ISOUGH SURVEYOR reported that he had in. spected the length of the tramway in the borongh, and found that although it had been repaired by the use of Bwlcligwyn roadstone, it was still defective. Much required to be done before the line was safe for traffic. Alderman DONE asked how the Corporation stood with regard to the TramwLty Company. They did not run any curs. The Tows CLERK said he had received a notice concerning the Company, which stated that applica- tion was about to be made to the Board of Trade for permission to sell the old Company to a trustee for the new Company now in process of formation. If representation had to be made to the Board of Trade on the subject by the Corporation, it would have to be made before October 11th. Mr Bury asked if the Corporation wished to make any representation ? On the motion of Alderman DOSE, seconded by Mr FEASEU, it was agreed to forward to the Board of Trade a copy of the Surveyor's report. IMPROVING TUTTLE-STREET. I The BOROUGH SURVEYOR reported upon the cost of repairing the path on the west side of Tuttle-street. He found that it would have to be re-made, and that new channels and kerbstones would be required. His estiwate of the cost was X35. On the motion of Mr CHADWICK, seconded by Mr FRASEII, it was recommended that the work should be carried out. BRADLEY-ROAD PATH. I The BOROUGB SURVEYO* reported upoa the cost of tiling Bradley-road path, and estimated it at £ 71. In reply to a question, the Surveyor said the cost for a tar pavement would be about half the sum he named. It was generally agreed that the work was neces- sary, but it was thought that it would be undesirable to ao it while building operations were in progress, and a resolution postponing the improvement until these operations were completed was passed on he motion of Mr PIERCE, seconded by Mr FRASER. [ TlIH WIDENING OF VICTORIA-ROAD. I The TowN CLERK said Sir Henry Robertson had agreed to the disposal of the strip of land to widen Victoria-road. The Bonouea SURVEYOR reported that he had applied for tenders for unclimable iron railings, and had received two. They were from Mr J. C. Gittins, Wresham, his price being 9s 6d per yard, and from Messrs. Rogers and Ja.ckson, Wrexham, whose price was 5s 4 jd per yard. On the motion of Mr WHrrnxoHAM. seconded bv Alderman DONE, the tender of Messrs. Rogers anil Jackson was accepted. NBW STREETS. I The SURVEYOR reported that he had received notice of the completion of Oxford-street, Baron's-road, Palmer-street, and Dale-street, near the Smithiield, and had inspected them, and found they had been made in accordance with the specifications. Mr FRASER asked if the building operations were completed in these streets. The SURVEYOR said fire houses were being bnilt in Oxford-street and then it would be complete. Palmer- street was half built upon, and in Dale-street there was no building. Baron's-road was an important road connecting Oxford-street and Palmer-street. Mr FRASER moved that the streets be not taken over until the building operations were completed. Mr PIERCE asked if the Corporation had not re- fused to take over streets off Bradley-road for the same reason. The MAYOR We did. Ultimately it was agreed, on the motion of the MAYOR, seconded by Mr PIERCE, to adopt Oxford- street, Palmer-street, and Barou's-ro;id. PLANS. Ihe fodowing plans were passed :-Five houses in Oxford^ -street for Mr Win. Hughes, and five cotta™ges in Cobdeu street for Mr Bristoe. The plans for the important bank and shops on the site of the old Saving's Bank were submitted, and snowed soveral cellar lights aud a coal shoot in the path. These plans were passed subject to the removal of the coal shoot and the execution of the usual a"gree- ment as to the cellar lights. I A HINT TO DOMESTIC ECOXOMISTS. Mr FBASEB suggested that steps should be taken to induce householders to riddle the ashe3 and secure fuel in the shape of unburnt coal, at the same time reiiew.g the Oorporation when ashpits had to be emptied. Th3 MAYOR said it would be a good thing, but from his own experience, he feared it would not be adopted. The BOROUGH SURVEYOR said the quantity of half- burnt coal which the Corporation carted about the streets was simply scandalous. The subject then dropped. TEMPORARY BUILDINGS. The bniiYEYOR reported that Mr Frank Allmaad' Victoria Flour Mill, and Mrs Fred. Jones, Abbot- street, had written to him relative to tempora.ry bundmgs, and the committee decided that the 01 should inspect and report upon temporary I ouuaings which %are named. POPLAR ROAD. I The BOROUGH SURVEYOR submitted a letter from aiess-s Evau Morris Co., in which they suggeiited that tne Corporation should purchase a sfcripof land opposite the Poplar-road Post-office, and afiloining nouses They said they would recommend their client to sell the land at the same price as that which had been paid for land on the other side of the street. On the motion of ALDEKMAN DOnI. seconded bv Mr PIERCE, H was agreed not to make any Offer, I)nt to ash- that the dangei-ous wall near the Post-office should be repaired. INSANITARY PROPERTY. I A letter was read from Mr Ishmael Evans, suggest- ing tnat if the Corporation iutended dealing with the ?ng n?? Mv property in the Borongh, it would avoidI friction if the property was taken as a whole. No order was made. AN EXPLANATION. I A letter was read from Mr T. W?I?.a.potoeisinc for putting out a public I?mp near Mr 6ote?? house on the night of the cyclists carnival. He e, K- plained that his object was to euable the procession to he seen to grenter advantage, and he added that he afterwards relighted the lamp. BENNION'S LANK. I The Tow-N ERK a\d he had seen Mr Thomas Robert-, the owner of the property required to widen Benmon s lane He declined to sell at 7i. 61 per yard, and asked 8s. ALDERMAN DONE That is near enough. I move we accept the offer. Mr PIEHCE seconded, and it was carried. PROPOSED IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT I ON TOWN HILL.

On the motion of the Chairs, seconded b, Mr MERAR, it was agreed to ask Mr S"S Mr Swainson to consider the position for the i,ro. posed indicator and report. The Committee next considered the question of issuing a supplemental catalogue. Mr GouGH said the new eclogue would con- tain 531 works. There were 125 of the old an logues in hand. The CHAiR?x said he had been di?ic" [? question with Mr Gough and it w?s sn? t ? that a. charge of 31 should be made for :'? supplemental catalogue if sold sep'H'ately, and 6d for the old catalogue and supplement. The SECRETARY asked how long the stock of catalogues would last ? Mr GOUGH said about two years. The com- mittee had so far made a protit of JE7 by the sale of catalogues. It was agreed to invite tenders for the printin* of 300 supplemental catalogues, 51 r Gotigh being instructed to proceed with the draftillg of the copy. THH XHWSPAPHRS AXD I The CHAIRMAN suggested that the Book Com- mittee should be invited to examine the list of magazines and newspapers to be purchased for the 1-teading Room, on the ground tlut it would facilitate the work of the new couimittai when it met. TTIB Lir.RARY AND ITS CLAIMF. Mr W. PIERCH s?id this being the last raesting of the committee for the year, he propo?J f cordial vote of thanks to the chairman for the efficient manner in which he had presided over the committee. Alderman SIMOH J,)Ng-; seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN havirg thanked the committee for so cordially passing the vote, said in review- ing the work of last year for a second or two, he might say that they stood in au unfortunate position as compared with many pubiic institu- tions. Their work was done silently, but they might very property apply the old and somewhat hackneyed proverb, "Still waters run deep." Their strea.m however was not only deep, not only supplying a large number of home readers, and he hoped thev could say a not incon- siderable number of home students, but it was wide also seeing the large company of readers who visited the news room from day to day. He learned from Mr Gough that durinc the last twelve months—ending September 30th—as many as 105,053 visits were paid to the reading-room. (Hear, hear.)
