THE BARRY DISTRICT BURIAL BOARD. An ordinary meeting of this Board was held on Tuesday evening at the Market Chambers, Barry. Mr. William Thomas presided, their being also present Mr. B. G. Davies, Canon Allen, Captain Adams. G. Brock, Mr. H. L. Jones, Mr. James Jones, Mr. Frank Burgess, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Copp, Mr. Blackmore, and Mr. J. Hughes (clerk.) The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. THE NUMBER OF BURIALS. The monthly statement was read by the Clerk, who stated that there had been 15 burials during the month, £ 11 13s. received in fees, &0., and £ 10 expended in wages, &c. The Clerk's petty cash account was examined, showing a balance due to the Clerk of 15s. 8d., and he was granted £ 2 to cover that sum and for the next month's ex- penses. THE VISITING. COMMITTEE. The report of the Visiting Committee, held on the 29th March was read. The committee decided that the Cemetery Chapel should be opened on Sun- day, April 23rd, at three o'clock, when a dedicatory service will be gone through by the Ministers' Fraternal Association. The committee were dis- satisfied with the crests on the chapol, and had instructed the Clerk to writs to the architect and ask that different ones be placed. The Chairman said Mr. Small had told him he was blameless in the matter. The crests had been on the ground for a long time, and in fact had been passed by the architect and the clerk of the works. Consequently, he was not liable to re-place them. In his (the chairman's) opinion, if Mr. Small did not re-place them, they should be re- placed at their own expense. Mr. Copp thought they should leave it to the architect. He understood the clerk of the works took one in to the architect. He should like to ask if he only passed one of them. Mr. Small, the contractor, who was in atten- dance, was called in before the Board, and the Chairman informed Mr. Small the Visiting Com- mittee were dissatisfied with the crests. Mr. Small said all he had to say was that the sample was submitted to the architect and clerk of the works in the usual way, and they were satisfied with them. He thought Mr. Burbidge and some of the committee had seen the crests on the ground. The sample was there for a month or six weeks before he ordered the crest. The Clerk inquired whether the architect had written him and asked him to alter their crests. Mr. Small said 1ft", Williams toU him if he altered them they would be all right. In answer as to whether the crests were in accordance with the contract, Mr. Small said the contract only specified crests, not any particular sort. The men were up altering the crests. MR. L. W. JONES'S OFFER. Mr. Jones's letter of the 16th January, offering the Board a piece of land containing 2 acres 2 roods 25 percfies at Z150 per acre was read by the Clerk. As instructed by the Board, Mr. J. C. Pardoe had prepared a report as requested with regard to the draining of that land, and also some belonging to the Wenvoe Estate, which the Board had the option of purchasing. The surveyor had inspected the different fields, of which he submitted a sketch plan showing the level of the aground at different points. The whole of Mr. Jones's land, with the exception of a small portion, could be drained into the existing drains. The average depth of drainage would be 10ft. at an estimated cost of zC145 per acre. The Wenvoe Estate land would be drained at a depth of lift. 6ins. at a total cost of ze444, thus the estimated cost of draining Mr. Jones's land would be at the rate of £ 59 16s. 9d. per acre, and the Wenvoe Estate land £ 83 3s. 5d. In response to Mr. Burgess, the Clerk said it was the bottom of the field that could not be drained. The Chairman said Mr. Pardoe thought it could be laid out for building purposes. Canon Allen-About how much of the field cannot be drained ? Mr. Copp-Three quarters of an acre. The Clerk said it was not impossible to drain the land, but that it lay too low to be drained into the present system. The Chairman—That part would have to be drained down through the lower valley. Mr. Brock did not think it worth his while to say more than he had said at the last meeting, It would be impossible to drain the whole of the land, unless by incurring great expense. Mr. Robinson had told them so at the Board meeting three months ago. Mr. H. L. Jones asked whether it was necessary to acquire the land at present. It would be better to wait five years. The Clerk—As far as the Wenvoe Estate is con- cerned. you must decide upon it before the 7th of July, 1893. Mr. H. L. Jones did not think they would want it for the next ten years. If there was a certainty of an increase of population they might acquire it, but if not he did not see the need of purchasing. Mr. B. G. Davies—Twenty pounds would be added every year. You must look to the future. This place is rapidly increasing. Mr. Jones could not see the desirability, and could not see how the land was to be increased in value. It was not going to be taken for building purposes. Mr. Davies—When you are bound to buy it they will ask such an exorbitant price. Mr. Burgess asked if there was a possibility of letting the land until such times as they would require it. The Chairman said he would not give half-a- crown an acre for any of the land around there. The Clerk said their present cemetery was a little over four acres in extent. Mr. Phillips moved that the Board should secure one of the pieces of ground. Mr. H. L. Jones proposed that the matter be deferred for a couple of months. Mr. Brock proposed that the Board decline Mr. Jones's offer. He thought it was a monstrous thing for the ratepayers' money to be spent to buy a private individual's land at £25 an acre more than there was need for. He was surprised that the members should entertain the offer, when they could have better ground off the Wenvoe Castle Estate. It was impossible to drain one-third of the ground. It was like robbing the ratepayers out of LC25 per acre. Mr. Burgess seconded Mr. Brock's proposition. Mr. Blackmore moved an amendment to that. The matter had been deferred over and over again, and it was time it was settled. He took a little exception to what the mover of the resolution had said. It was not a third of the land which could be drained it was less than a quarter. The price, as Mr. Brock had said, was £ 25 per acre more than the Wenvoe Estate land, but the purchase of the ground would make the cemetery more compact. He begged to move, as an amendment, that the Board offer Mr. Jones for his piece of land the sum which was agreed upon by the Board to be offered by the clerk when it was for sale by auction. Canon Allen seconded. He felt sure the popula- tion would rapidly increase. Mr. Copp opposed the amendment. If they re- quired land they should buy the ground between the present cemetery and the road, and thus have a good frontage to the road, instead of going further back into the fields. On being put, Mr. Blackmore's amendment was lost, and Mr. Brock's resolution carried. NEW PRECEPT. The Clerk recommended that a precept be made to the 30th June of Id. in the pound, which would produce—Barry, £ 34 6s. 0d. Cadoxton, £315 19s. 6d. Merthyrdovan, £ 117 18s. 6d. MISCELLANEOUS. The following bills were passed and cheques signed :—H.Jones, 13s. lOd. Mr. Burbidge, salary, £ 7 10s.; Mr. Small, Z75 and Mr. R. Thomas, £ 10.—An application was read from the caretaker and it was decided that the lodge should be papered out, that a door mat, scraper, two tressles, a notice to visitors to keep off the grass, and a notice as to the time of opening and shutting the cemetery be granted him.-It was also decided that children under 12 should not be allowed into the cemetery unless accompanied by adults.-It was also decided that the caretaker should be allowed 300 plants for beautifying the cemetery. -It was decided that a Welsh Bible and hymn book should be provided for the new chapel.

Dr. Powell deposed that the deceased died from con- vulsive fits brought on by teething. The jury, of which Mr. Lloyd was foreman, returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence. NEW. CHAPEL FOR BARRY DOCK. The members of the Welsh Congregational Chapel, Barry Dock, decided last Sunday night to build a new chapel. It will be 34 feet by 46 feet, and it is estimated to hold 520 persons. The cost will be about £1,800, and the chapel is to be built on the site of the present one. A vestry will be underneath. The building will be of stone and plastered outsids with cement. The architects are Messrs. Seward and Thomas. The building com- mittee has already £ 30 in hand towards the new chapel, from the concert held at Barry a few weeks ago. SYMPATHY FROM BARRY.

The 11 esteni Mail on Tuesday stated that During evening services on Sunday an exciting scene occurred at the Old Parish Church at Barry. For some time there have been strained relations between the clergy and representatives of the musical section of the church, and these difficulties reached a climax on Sunday evening. The Rev. J. Du Heaume, B.A., the curate, -announced that the Psalms would be read, but Captain W. B. Whall, one of the churchwardens (and who is also conductor of the choir) gave instructions that the Psalms should be sung as usual. This was done, and at the close the curate stated to the congrega- tion (which, by this time, had become somewhat excited) that he had been publicly insulted, and he would not proceed until Captain Whall had publicly acknowledged his error. Mr. Du Heaume accordingly went into the vestry, and, after a pause, he was followed by Captain Whall, who offered an explanation, and the curate consented to continue the service, which then proceeded without interruption." On Wednesday the following letter appeared in the same paper TO THE EDITOR OF THE-WESTERN MAIL." Sir,—On information which you treat anony- mously you have thought fit to bring my name forward in your paper in the matter of the very discreditable scene which occurred at Barry Church on Sunday evening. Had this reference to me been in a less important paper I should have passed it without notice, but the Western Mail should, I think, take more care to be fully' satisfied as to the bona-Jides of a correspondent whose name is to be withheld, and, in such a very unpleasant matter as this, to make sure of the truth in the case before publishing names audi alteram partem is the safer method to pursue. I will say no further at present, save that you are misinformed.-I am, &c., W. B. WHALL. fThe report was furnished by an accredited reporter of the Western Mail, and it is to be re- gretted that Mr. Whall does not attempt to in- dicate in what respect the report was incorrect.- ED. W.M.J WE WISH THEM EVERY HAPPINESS. The marriage took place on Saturday at the English Congregational Chapel, East Barry, of Miss Eleanor Davies Elias, daughter of the late Mr. J. J. Elias, of Swansea, and niece of Councillor David Davies, J.P., ex-mayor of Cardigan, and Mr. William Ross, M.E., of Glasgow. The officiating minister was the Rev. J. H. Stowell, M.A., pastor. Miss Letitia A. John, Kingsland-crescent, was the bridesmaid, and Mr. Morley being best man. UNITED MUSICAL FESTIVAL AT CADOXTON. On Wednesday last a most successful united musical festival was held at Zion Calvinistie Methodist Chapel in connection with the Calvin- istic Methodist churches of the Cowbridge and Pemnark District, and the English churches of Cadoxton and Barry. The spacious chapel was well filled throughout, more especially in the evening, many being unable to obtain admission. The conductor was Mr. David Jenkins (Mus. Bac., Cantab.), the well-known eisteddfod adjudicator and festival conductor, of Aberystwyth, who, it is needless to say, carried out his important duties highly satisfactory. The accompanists, Miss Lewis, (Cowbridge), Miss Howe (Cadoxton), and Miss Davies (Penmark) carried out their respective parts also admirably. The presidents were Messrs. William Evans, Pendenlwn (morning) Edward Thomas, Llancadle (afternoon); and Illtyd William?, St. Athan (evening) Mr. Oliver Williams, Great Hampton, was the treasurer and Messrs. W. R. Hopkins, Barry, and Willie C. Howe, Cadoxton, were the secretaries, to whom the success of the festival was mainly due, coupled with the co-operation of the various singers. The morning meeting comprised wholly Welsh hymns, tunes, and anthems. The singing of the tune Hudders- field," and the anthem Dyddiau dyn sydd fel glaswelltyn," being most effectively rendered. The afternoon meeting was entirely English, several of the tunes, chants, and anthems being ex- quisitely rendered, more particularly the anthem Exalt him all ye people." In the evening meeting the singing of "Shine 0 Lord," the tune Broadway to the words A few more years shall roll"; the tune, Ynefoed" were most enthusiastically sung. The Rev. Christmas Lewis, of Barry, addressed the meeting and eulogised the singing. By special request the anthem Dyddiau dyn sydd fel glaswelltyn"' was again sung. The conductor praised the choristers afterwards for the attention they had given, thus affording an excellent treat to those present by their singing. The hymn, Crugybar," to the words "From Heavenly Jerusalem's Towers," was sung admirably well after which Mr. J. Lloyd, of Barry, engaged in prayer. Mr. Daniel Evans, Cowbridge, proposed the best thanks of the meeting to the Rev. W. Williams, Deacons, and members for their kind- ness in placing the above Chapel at their disposal that day a similar compliment was also paid to the conductor and singers. We hear that the collections which were made at the close of each service towards defraying expenses, are exceedingly gratifying. The Revs. J. W. Matthews, \V. D. Daniel (Barry Dock), — Lloyd (Dynas Pow'is), also took part in the proceedings during the day. ACCIDENT ON THE BARRY RAILWAY. About nine o'clock on Tuesday evening an engine driver, damed Charles Silverthorn, living at Barry, sustained somewhat severe injury on the Barry line. It seemed he had been shunting trucks into the Barry yard, and slipping was preciDitated violently to the ground. His injuries were so severe that it was found necessary to convey him heme on a stretcher. GRAND CONCERT AT BARRY DOCK. On Saturday night a well-attended and success- ful grand concert, in connection with the Cadoxton Branch of the Independent Order of Rechabites, was held at the Public-hall, Thompson-street, Barry Dock. The concert was organised by the committee and late secretary (Mr. H. H. Russell) for the laudable purpose of starting a benevolent fund for the benefit of members. The officers of the Barry Pioneer Tent No. 182 (Cadoxton) are Chief Ruler, R. H. Willy Deputy Ruler, J. L. Jones Past Chief Ruler, R. Mitchell treasurer, J. Fido secretary, F. Richards. The Chairman was the Rev. J. Matthews, and in his opening address he expressed the pleasure he felt at being present. He was glad there was such a good attendance, and the object of the concert deserved everyone's sympathy and warmest supports—The concert was a very good one, and included several enjoyable items. Chief amongst these were the performances of the Barry String Band, which, rendered in their usual able style, well merited the unbounded applause of the audience which they received. The Penarth Handbell Ringers, on the occasion of their first visit to Barry, made a mark for themselves, and they may rest assured of being well received when they again visit Barry. The following was the programme :—Pianoforte solo, Adeste Fideles," Miss S. B. Thomas selection, "Curly-headed Ploughboy," Handbell Ringers song, The Wolf," Mr. Petty song, Will he come," Miss E. Jenkins selection, March of the Men of Harlech," Handbell Ringers selection, Nautch dance," Barry String Band song, The noble boy of truth," Mr. T.

The first anniversary of the above was cele- brated on Sunday, April 16th, when two sermons was preached by the Rev. R. Jenkins, superinten- dent of the Circuit. A public meeting was held in the afternoon, when Mr. A. R. Dawson, of Penarth, gave a very appropriate address to both parents and children. On Wednesday, 19th inst., a public tea was provided in the School-room, to which about 182 sat down. The tea which was a thorough success, was presided over by the follow- ing ladies and their assistants :—Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Hutchins, Mrs. Williams, Miss Holden. Mrs. Mack, Miss Warthington, Miss Phillips, Miss Handen, Mrs. Flowers, Mrs. Hancock. Mrs. Handen, Mrs. Brown, and Mrs. Beer. All of which discharged their duties in a most creditable manner. A public meeting followed, when addresses were given by the Chairman, Mr. J. J. Moon, the Revs. R. Jenkins, E. Morgan, J. Honey, G. H. Payn, and W. J. Flowers. The meeting, which was very enthusiasic in its character was brought to a close by a vote of thanks being proposed by the Rev. G. H. Payn, seconded by Mr. J. Lowdon, to the Chairman, and all the workers whose efforts con- tributed to the success of the anniversary. POOLE'S MYRIORAMA. One of the best entertainments we have had the pleasure of witnessing is now provided by Mr. Joseph Poole at the Barry Market-hall. It is among the first of its kind, and should be seen by everyone who has a desire for his or her advance- ment or pleasure. Pool's Myriorama is well known, but we think that at present in the district far better than any we have previously seen, while the variety combination is a credit to any management. CADOXTON BARRY HISTRIONIC SOCIETY. On Wednesday evening a most successful per- formance was given at the Theatre Royal, Cadoxton, by the above society, in aid of the funds of St. Mary's Church, Barry Dock. The attendance was good, all the front seats being filled. The first part of the performance was a well-played farce, "Sudden Thoughts." It described the rather too sudden thoughts of George Impulse, backed up by Jack Cabbage, a kind and amiable tailor. The former was up to all kinds of antics and youthful frolics, whilst the latter was- extremely anxious to mingle with good society. Before he had done he had had enough of 'igh society. In fact he found the work exceedingly 'ot. Mr. J. P. Greenwood as George Impulse was the life of the piece, and was ably backed up by Mr. D. McCalllum, as Jack Cabbage," and Miss F' Wright, who (considering that it was her first appearance) well represented Sophia, ana flirted with George Impulse." Mr. Wallace Davies was all that could be desired as General Dornton (in command of Sophia" and his sister Clarissa"), and his soldierly bearing and a free use of the inevitable pincli-nez added much to the success of the piece. As "Sims," an obliging waiter, Mr. F. E. Percy Haigh was quite at home, and he carefully looked after the welfare of Jack Cabbage," especially when that "august" indi- vidual posed as Lord Bacon." Miss Mary Brooks ("Clarissa") was a little nervous at the advances by "Jack Cabbage." but she settled him eventually. The remaining characters were taken by Miss Richards ("Mrs. Impulse "), and Mr. F. Chappell (" Nabbs "-a bailiff). On the whole, the farce was a decided success. After selections by the Barry Quadrille Band, under the leadership of Mr. A. Rees, the curtain rose on the comedy, Withered Leaves." The opening was decidedly flat, but. even with professionals, we do not think it would be otherwise. Miss Florence Williams, as May Rivers," found herself alone upon the stage with an audience impatiently awaiting results. She, however, opened well, and throughout the first part both the young lady and her lover, Mr. J. Howell, as Cecil Vane (the villain) performed a difficult part with a considerable amount of skill. Mr. J. P. Greenwood as Tom Conyers," and Mr. F. E. P. Haigh as his pal, Arthur Middleton," attracted a considerable amount of attention, and both were well received. The spooning of Mr. Evans as Sir Conyers Conyers," and Miss Edith Williams as Lady Conyers," was very real, especially the later portion. Miss Edith Williams fairly eclipsed herself, and her performance would do credit to many professionals. With Mr. Green- wood she did well, and fairly brought down the house. Those who took part in each of the pieces are to be congratulated upon their success while Mr. Stewart, as stage manager, ably carried out his part, and added much to the result. ALLEGED ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE OF A WOMAN. At the office of Mr. J. W. Morris, clerk to the Penarth justices, High-street, Cardiff, on Tuesday, a young mpn named John Moss was brought up before Mr. Rees charged with committing a highway robbery with violence at Cadoxton, on Monday afternoon. The first witness called was Richard Ellis, aged 17, a drapers assistant, who deposed that he was standing in the doorway of his employer's shop. when he saw prisoner and a woman cross the road at the corner of Janet- street. He heard Moss ask her to pick something up off the pavement, but she would not do it. Prisoner then knocked the woman down, picked something up of the ground, and then decamped. —Police-constable David Roberts stated that he was called to Janet-street, at 4.30 p.m. on Monday afternoon, and on going there found a woman, named Mary Southern, lying unconscious on the the pavement. With assistance he carried her home, but on the way she had a fit, and Dr. Treharne was sent for. That gentleman examined Mrs. Southern at her residence, and found one of the cartilages of the ribs broken. Witness went the cartilages of the ribs broken. Witness went to the house again at seven o'clock, and the woman then made a statement, in consequence of which he arrested prisoner at his father's house in Bassett-street. Cadoxton. Prisoner was in bed at the time, and witness charged him after the usual manner with feloniously stealing sixpence belong- ing to and from the person of Mary Southern, and with using personal violence towards her. He replied, How could she give me in charge ? Did you see me steal it ?"—Inspector Rees remarked that the woman was too ill to appear that day, and the prisoner was remanded in custody— At the Barry Dock Police-Court on Thursday (before Mr. O. H. Jones, Mr. John Duncan, and Colonel Guthrie) John Moss, was again brought up.—Dr. Treharne deposed that on Monday after- noon he was sent for to Lower Hunter-street, when he saw the woman lying on the pavement in a fit. She was carried into her house, and he examined her when she recovered, find found the cartilage had been dislocated from the rib on the left side. The dislocation had been caused by very severe blow. On examining her that morning he found her left arm covered with bruises. The woman was in bed, and would not be able to appear for another week.—The case was remanded for a week.

LAUNCH OF MR. FRANIC TROTT'S PILOT CUTTER AIXRGUEPLITE." This very interesting ceremony was performed on Monday at Pill, on the River Avon, about five miles from Bristol. A happy party, consisting of Mrs. Frank Trott, Mr. and Mrs. Washer, Miss Thomas, Mr. A. L. M. Bonn, and Mr. D. Williams, &c., of Barry, journeyed over by the s.s. Marchioness on Monday afternoon, and after a very pleasant trip across the Channel arrived at Pill at 6.15 p.m. The whole village was en fete, the entire population turning out to witness the launch. At Pill the party from Barry was met by a large number of friends from Bristol and Cardiff, who had jour- neyed over in the morning. The attendance at the ceremony included the before-mentioned ladies and gentlemen, and Mr. Frank Trott (the owner), Mr. Rawles (the builder), Mrs. Rawles, Mr. and Mrs. Merrot (Bristol). Mrs. Baleserio, &c. At seven o'clock, after the blocks had been removed Mrs. Merrot gracefully per- formed the ceremony of christening the boat, by smashing a bottle of champagne, and amid the cheers of the large crowd that had collected the staunch little vessel glided down the ways into the water, which she took like a duck, the staff being immediately raised on her deck to which the name flag was attached. The whole company then adjourned to a capital spread. Mr. Trott, in a short speech, complimented the builder for having turned out such a fine little craft, which he (Mr. Trott) was proud to own, and he did not doubt that her performance in the near future would rank her as the finest cutter in the channel. Mr. Rawles suitably responded. Mr. A. L. M. Bonn, Barry, next proposed the toast of the evening, "The Marguerite, which he did in a very able manner. A vote of thanks was proposed to Mrs. Merrot, Mrs. Frank Trott, and visitors, and the party then indulged in singing,, and dancing, breaking up at nine o'clock, when they journeyed to Bristol, where more dancing. &c., was provided, the party eventually breaking up in the wee sma' hours." "The Marguerite" will be, without a doubt, the finest pilot boat in the Channel. Her dimensions are :—Length over all, 53ft.; length of keel, 41ft. beam, 13ft. 6in. draught, 8ft. 2in. tonnage, 22 tons. She will have a height of mast of 40ft., and her working sails will have a spread of 450 square yards. Length of boom, 24ft. gaff, 25ft.: top mast, 20ft. bowsprit, 29ft. Her frame and topsides are of the best English oak,, with yellow pine deck, and pitchpine topsidss to bridge, and an English elm bilge and keel. Her capital accommodation comprises ::—Fore cabin, 23ft. long middle cabin, 12fb" with head- room of 5ft. lOin., and steerage 10ft. long. Her cabin is alternately headed with polished mahogany and pitchpine, the door panels being splendidly decorated by Miss Grace Williams, of Penarth. Altogether the Marguerite" is a splendid little craft, everything being fitted up in the best style. Mr. Frank Trott, her owner, holds a first-class Cardiff and Barry licence. When entirely finished, in about three weeks' time, she will be brought to Cardiff.

that that the Board showed great foresight in inviting Mr. Robert Forrest to become one of its members. We are pleased at Mr. R. Forrest's election, and feel sure that those who have the interests of the district at heart will feel that the Local Board have adopted a very wise course. Mr. Forrest is one of the Barry direc- tors, and must necessarily have at stake a large interest in the welfare of this district. He is .also agent for Lord Windsor, Lord Romilly, and the Wenvoe Castle Estate. Mr. Forrest has had considerable experience in public affairs, and has for many years been Chairman of the Cardiff Rural Sanitary Authority. He is also a member 'of the Penarth Local Board. Mr. Forrest is High Sheriff for the County of Glamorgan this year. We hope he will see his way clear to .accept the position offered him by the Local Board. THE RATE COLLECTORSHIP. The Barry and Cadoxton Local Board has -elected Mr. T. W. Lewis to the important -office of rate collector for this district. We congratulate Mr. Lewis upon his success, and we think the Local Board have been well -guided in what they have done. We are some- what surprised, however, at the course which -events took at the last meeting of the Board, and are almost at a loss to understand why such a radical departure was made from the usuil mode of procedure. The Finance Com- mittee had spent several hours in diligently going through the applications of 69 persons for the post of collector, and selected the five whom they thought were most fitted for the position. It is seldom that any authority go behind a committee in such matters, and practically pass .a vote of censure upon them. The Board relegated to the Finance Committee their powers for the time being, and asked them to select the candidate for the final decision. But what was the result ? A member of the Local Board, who, we are bound to acknow- ledge has done much useful work, and who we should be sorry to see out of office, so far forget himself as to propose that another name be added to the list. What his reasons were for so doing we knew not, and he did not enlighten the Board upon the subject. He simply proposed that the name of a certain gentleman be- added to the list. It was an amendment to the report of the Committee, and it is the rule, we submit, on all occasions to give some reason for objecting to a report. But no it was thought sufficient to simply let the matter rest with the proposing of the addition. We are prepared to admit that there are times when amendments to a committee's report are 'beneficial and necessary, but such actions as the present we feel called upon to strongly con- demn. If, in the interests of the ratepayers- which all members are supposed to look after the gentleman in question thought that the candidate should be included in the list, there was some excuse for his amendment but, even then, it would have been far better if he had moved that all the applications should have been read. If the Finance Committee could omit one suitable candidate, could they not also have omitted others ? THE HOLTON POST-OFFICE. Mr. B. Jones, newsagent, corner of Pyke- street, Holton-road, has been appointed sub- postmaster for the Holton district by Mr. G. Fardo, postmaster of Cardiff. After the very warm periods experienced some little time since when the desirability of the appointment was first mooted, it is very pleasant to know that the appointment of Mr. Jones has given com- pleted satisfaction to all the parties interested. Mr. Jones possesses most of the necessary qualification to give that satisfactions he speaks Welsh, has an intimate knowledge of the resi- dents of the neighbourhood, and his shop is situated in the centre of the as yet unsupplied district. We congratulate Mr. Jones on his .appointment, which we hope he will enjoy for many years to come. A COUNTY-COURT WANTED. We understand that steps are now being made to approach the Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain to direct that Barry and the surround- ing parishes be formed into a County-court District, and that a monthly County-court be held at the Barry Dock Police-court. The peti- tion which is to be presented shows the large increase in the population, rateable value, and the number of plaints, &c., entered in the present court. We notice that a committee has been appointed by the Lord Chancellor to re-arrange the South Wales County-court Districts. THE NEW CEMETERY CITAPEL. On Sunday next the newly-erected chapel at the Cemetery will be opened. It has been 'built at a cost of £980, in the style of the 14th -Century (Gothic) architecture, from designs of Mr. Bruton Williams, Cardiff, by Mr. F. Small. The main walls of the building are of local .stone, squared, in courses, while the floors of the passages between the seats are laid with tesse- iated tiles. The roof is open timbered, while the windows are glazed with tinted cathedral glass. The building is very compact, and does the architect and all connected with the build- ing credit. It will seat 100.
