Tin folh.wins.' i. -tt-r w«s read tiom Mr Richard Jan-, o-e ot ihe overseers for the parish of Aber- ystwyth:— Aberystwyth, June 25th, 1881. The Chairman of the Boird ef Guardians, Aberyst- wyth Union. Sir.—I beg to enclos e notice served upon me this everirig prelerred by Mr 1-i ugh Hnghes, clerk to your board. Mr Hugh Hnghes being also the clerk of the veptry and upon when) rests the making of the rate. I sent kim notice on the 26th day of April last (five -day? after leeeiving notice of appointment as over- seer), to make out a rate, which was not ready for the necessary signatures until the 11th inst., and. e» ae- •conr.ty of th>>t delay we, as overseers, could not meet "the contributions: and as we are pro,,ee(l' d against by the very person v. ho biniself is in default. I request ake n;attei- tip. •you will take tile matter up. I had also to contend against the informality by which the present rate had been allowed by the magistrates, whilst the arrears of former rates had net been inserted in the rate book an- not signer; by either overseers or churchwardens. -You rs truly, RICHARD JAMES, overseer of the poor, parsh of Aberystwyth, 1 hi Chairman said thai the allegation was that Tact c v Ii S s. n t on I h. 26th day of April to make a Tale whirh w s.s not r»ady frr signature. The ( Ink -aid that lie was bound to do it. M John Janus hi lievt d thtt the rate was not all< ftci tilt la-i we< k. The Clerk -a)d ibai the rate bad been sign-d three weeks "go by the I ugbtrates. It was allowed about a n-ontli ag", but Mr Lloyd, the collector, could not th< ri gi*-e him the airears. Mr Mortis Davits: Do yea never enter the art? T> e Clerk Always. )1..1, Morris D -v ies Because it is a very important item in thp Ab-iystwyth rates. The ( L d. slid ¡ha! was no reason why Mr James sTiotil t refuse to sign it. Mr D;, vie,: The arrears ought to be in- serted beto'e tin magistrates sign it. 'I he Cieik It is m> p"rt of the rate. Mr Morris Dnvies: What are tfee arrears ? The Cbrk C'oirparaiivfly little, shout ^6270,1 ffeii k. I sf nt 11H book to Mr James, at d he wl,uld llSVe 4s. rate. I said we must have an est mate, as "We • ouhi i.iot make a rate for what we thought pr. pet. M) Morris Davits said the arreas were not in- sc- << >.«cause «hf colloetor bad not made up his ho' ks. M John J" 0' ps said the rate was illegal. The CU ik The rate was not illegal. Mr Join: Ji.<i..s then proceeded to defend the -action ot rb. ov<rseos, afd to blame the c]el k f.,r :nt:f givirp Mr Ji ffies lirndy notice of his appoint- m«n!- Irlfl as the rate had Dot hern mart** i arly enough it w.s impossible for them to pay £800. Mr JBR IF th(n !!c nt a notice to the clerk to ii,kti a rate in ti e C, the overseers being called upon to pay a-iini in a shoittimp, ihey requited that rate all il y< J i iot nd. But the rate was not made till lb. 26th April-tor any sum, and it was signed by a tliUH liwsucii n ::nd two magistrates, when it should •lieve been signed by the overseers fitf-t. The Clt-rk J^O! first. Mr John Jemts said it should have been signed by tb.- overseers first but it was not dflivertd to the overseets urn 1 the following Monday, anc as it -was not published on the following Sunday after tht magistrates signed it, it was not legal. Mr James was dc terr ined to have a rate that no ore ccu.d quash. Be maintained that as the arreais "w« ie not put down in the rate signed by Mr Isaac Morgun and Mr John Rees, it would be a great loss to the town, anO Mr JKHHS did not feel justified in sigrirgit. It w»s published on the previous (jay (^ut.di)y), fino thl y could not begin collecting it tor tbree or lour days. The Cbrk taid that the book had been with Mr James time weeks ago. Mr John Js mes It was signed on Saturday. rJ be C'lerk said the delay bad been occasioned by Mr James's tefusal to sign the rate, which had been icerie njtieh earlier thtn upual because they wanted HLiiiE»y. The last overseers had collected all they I-,p (lid cot believe there was mere than ^EIC'O arrca>s that could be got in. If took a long I:ll'C to IT eke a rate, as the collector had to balance •tip his f ccoia.fs. The book had been sent to Mr J;;ir)es three weeks ago, and tl^e rate was signed some time ib,«; Saturday. He had warned Mr James hali-a-ck zen times. Mt David Jones had asked him ti question about it thai day fortnight, and he was obliged to say that he could not get Mr James to sign the rate. Mr John James said it was the clerk's own fault, as she late could not be made because the arrears were not put in. The Ch ile said the arrears were put in directly he got them frcm the collector. The'collector bad also made cut his dt mend notts all ready. Mr Juices said the overseers had found everythirg •wrong. The Chairman thought the overseer was wise in seeing tvei) thing in due and proper order, so that lie srouid not put birrs*y in a false position. The only question v as whether be wbs right in refusing to stpn !he rate after having had the books for about a fortnight. The late would not be in po. per order until it was signed' by a majority of churchwardens and overseers, and the signatures of the magistrates would go for nothing. Mr John James said it was the duty of Mr Isaac Morgan, as a shrewd man of business, to see that it was properly signed before he signed it. Mr Isaac Morgan said that proper steps had been taken to compel the overseers to levy the rates. It was no use to strain at a gnat and swallow a camel (laughter). Mr John James was surprised that a shrewd man of business like Mr Morgan should sign a rate with- out proper authority. He could not understand it. Mr Isaac Morgan thought they ought to allow the law to take its proper course. This was only brought forward for a certain pnrpose. Mr John James said he should like to know what Abe certain purpose was. Mr Isaac Morgan said it was to bring charges against the clerk; but they were without any grounds. He would like to have sufficient grounds before accusing any gentleman. Mr John James must really dispute that. Mr Richaid Jacies had but one object in view, and that "Was that the rate should be perfectly right. If it bad been done before, there would have been a very large saving to the ratepayers of Aberystwyth. In the £ 270 arrears there were some who had not paid ten or twelve rates. The Chairman said the book bad been left in Mr James's hands for two or three weeks. Mr John James did cot Jjnow that. The Clerk: I know it. Mr Isaac Morgan thought they ought not to dis- pute theii* wcrtbv clerk. They must have substan- -lia] ground hffore accusing their officers. Mr John James disclaimed ^any idea of imputing T.s&Ey blame to the clerk. The Chairman said there hadjbeep so naucii irregu- j R- ..l1ll.1I!h lanty in Aberystwyth, that it was necessary to have everything straight. Mr Isaac Morgan quite agreed with that. The Chairman mid the question was wheth e delay in the publishing of this rate was a pa t excuse for Mr James to allow the board of duins to take the usual steps to proceed again-'?. or whether that summons should hi- withheld. Whether, under the circumstances, Mr Jareea bad any excuse (or the dd"y of these proceedings Th -ir;- bad been great irregularities and great trouble is; the past, nnd if ne was appoint, d oversw^r he should be just as anxious as Mr James. An over- s. er had no choice; hut he was appointed nolens volens, and it was rather hard to be put in unless everything was perfectly correct. But Mr J iooes had had the book for u fortnight, and he had taken no steps to collect the rate. The only question was whether the summons should be proceeded with or not. Mr John James thought if Mr James had iho book for h fortnight they ought to proceed against him because he had mishd him The Clerk said that it had been left at his house more than a fortnight ago, and his last objection was that be wanted to see the demand notes of in. t year. He bad said that he would give all th. t ouble he could There were two so ins of £ 800 and it was very bard upon the other parishes to be. obliged to find money to pay the paupers. Mr Isaac; Morgan said that usually Mr Ja«m-;s wes a veiy reasonable man, and he could not make out why he was so obstinate. Mr John James: His reason is that the raje was not properly made. The Clerk said he had seen him the week before last, when he said that he had gone over the book very carefully and found all was right, but then he wanted to see something else. After some fuitber discussion, it was decided to leave the matter take its own Mr John Jenkins remarking tbar. was the best plan. Mr Jame-i wa- quite ready to fight it out. THE LLANFIHANGEL-Y-CROYDDIN ELECTION. Mr John James fell bound to refer to the el, c- t ion of Llanfihangel-y-Croyddin. This mutter had been reterr-d to at the las' meeting of the board, the Clerk repudiated the statement t: »t he made, therefore he must tell th m the actual (nets in connection with it. He said then that on the day appointed to count the votes he was prese nt with Mr L' wis James. The Clerk: How long? lie was not here. Mr Jan "H said he would give the clerk every op- ponunity of replying. The assistant eversfer w. nt tf)uc<4 with the various parties, and instructed the whole of the voters to write theirnsmes in full, in- stead of which tbey ought to have been instructed to put. their initials. They asked Mr Hughes if he would take the intention of the voters, because some of these people bad signed their names for Mr Jtnkins and some for Mr L'wia James; but )t was well known that the largest number had signed for Lewis James. We asked Mr Hughesif he would agree to be intention of each voter. The Ch-rk: Don't say "we;" you were not here, Mr John James: I was sitting in the very same place as you are now. The Clerk: What business had you hert? Mr John James said he was a candidate. They proposed to agree to the intention ot each vot r; but Mr Hughes refused to do, so and than they asked him not to proceed to the counting of those votes. He said he must count the votes, but he promised that he would send a s aiement of the ccaiterto the Local Governoient Board. Shortly hfteribat be (Mr Jatnes) left, and he was not there during any of the counting. Mr Hughes stati d that M, Ji-nk'ns had a majority ot nin He ev n then fully t-xpect< d that neither Mr J-nkins nor Mr Lewis James would have beqn ap- pointed without referring to the Local Govcrment Board the matter in dispute; but. at the first meet- ing of the IH w hoard he saw Mr Hughes distribu- ting the list of members, but he did not seem willing that he (Mr James) should have ene, and said, "you are living in the town." The Clerk I s»id so ? Mr James: Yes, you did. He thought it strange, but after son e time lie was given one, and then to his utter astonishment he fonnd that Mr Jenkins had been elected by a majority of one vote-37 arid 38. Be said nothing at the time, but went horn" and wiote the following letter to the Local Govern- ment Board Terrace Road, Aberystwyth. 23rd April, 1881. To the Local Government Poard, Whitehall, S.W. As a guardian for this union and having an interest in Llanfihangel-y-Croyddin, I protest against the election of Mr Jenkins as guardian instead of Mr Lewis James, who bad the majority of votes. Be- fore the returning officer commenced to count the votes Mr Lewis James, myselt, and others protested against proceeding with the election unless the returning officer would agree to accept the intention of each voter that had written his name instead of his initials, owing to the overseer having requested every voter to write his name opposite the candidate he intended to ,ote for, but he refused to agree to this suggestion, and promised faithfully not to de- clare either candidate elected until be had reported the actual facts to the Local Government Board and abide by their decision, to which Mr Lewis James, myself and others on his behalf agreed, but to my astonishment I discovered at a meeting of the guardians last Monday that Mr Hughes (the returning cfficer) had declared Mr Jenkins duly elected by a majority of one, without any reference to the decision of the Local Government Board. I may also add that the voting papers were collected at the same time as the assistant overseer delivered them, instead of calling for them the next day.—Yours obediently, JOHN JAMES. Mr Isaac Moigan asked Mr James if he remem- bered the day of the election ? Mr Jumes asked to be allowed to finish. Mr Isaac Morgan reminded him that they were at tbe corner of Thespian-street together, when Mr Thomas Evans told them the result of Llanfihangel- y-Croyddin ejection. Mr James said that he did not say be was present during the counting. He knew nothing of the elec- tion been declared because he believed the matter had been delayed and referred to the Local Gowern- ment Board. A few days afterwards he met Mr Hughes in North-parade, and then said to him that he thought he had acted unfairly, and that he was surprised to find he had refused to allow six votes for Mr Frederick Roberts instead of four, when he replied that he was oBly entitled to four. He told him (Mr James) ihat he wanted to revolutionise the whole town and country, and he went into a terrible rage (laughter). Mr James then proceeded to read extracts from a paper of the report of last ireeting, when Mr Isaac Morgan objected, and said that he did not think it right to read a newsparer. They were not there to listen to reports, which may be correct or not, and he must protest against it. The Chairman decided that Mr James was in order, and be was allowed to proceed, and said there were only a few people entitled to six votes in that parish. If Mr Hughes had allowed these six votes when required, Lewis James would have been in by a majority of one, and they would not have to go to all chut expense again. The Clerk: Do you s.y there were six on the papt-r ? Mr John James said the assistant overseer was present; and Mr Hughes had amended many papers in connection with the town, some having two votes, and thfy were added on. therefore he asked on what ground he refused Mr F. R. Roborts six votes. He further stated that the next morning the papers were looked over carefully, and it was found that M r F. R. Roberts had been recorded for Mr Jenkins, Tanllan, but when it was found he would be in by one they were given to Lewis James, but probably if Mr Jenkias had not a majority they would be left. He then condemned the partial conduct shewn by the returning officer, and concluded by stating that the ratepayers had pressedf Lewis James to become a guardian for another year. Mr Jenkins was at the vestry, and was one of those who signed for Lewis Jatnee, and had there nut been some pressure he would not have come out to oppose him. During the discussion Mr James also read the following letter which he had received from Mr Evans. Aberystwyth, 27th June, 1881. Dear Sir,—I well remember the discussion between Mr Hugh Hnghes and myself at the last election of a. guardian for the townshin of Llanfihangel Croyddin- issa. as to not declaring either candidate duly elected until he had obtained the opinion of the Local Gover- ment Board on the question in dispute, namely, the wrong instructions ot the assistant overseer as to the filling up of the voting papers and collecting them on the same day and at the same time as they were de- livered. I also pressed Mr Hughes to amend Mr F. R. Roberts' voting payer by allowing him to have six votes recorded in favour of Mr Lewis James instead of four as marked on his voting paper:-Yours faith- fully, THOMAS EVANS, \lr\("'H l>>tvid- ;J; i'I.t \>¡i:! ¡he ch:rge he wsht-'i i" bring a*!«inst- tbe elvrk 1 M Jait-es ,-ai.t tb.it be comphiioKl ihat he was th••'•■ -efu-e tb • criooeneeiM' ut o> the counting for Lllfi'a f;' :-y- and they were told that a istiv »• »» i b.•. • <<■ i .yi,:is had been milled by bfi-.UT a.<k ••. > ■! tbinr nam-'S in loll by the o rs■> — \1 Lvi-v Moigan Do you charge the clerk or fc'<e -si t tit iiv» r-. e ?

The wife now refused to ap^ar. Sergeant Evans stating that she did not, wish to proofed further with th" oa»e. MrSzlcmper asked how th-1 case arose? Sup- rintendtni LLyd said that !i:.o"t 11.30 on Sunday night he was S'DI for by Sergeant Evans. I and went down to defendant's bous> wht're he saw D iwson's wife with wouneson In r head and hands, which had been done w, h an eai thenwure jug. He told Sergeant Evans to itstt Dr Morris Jones to come down and examine her. He did s", and as he could not certify that the wounds Weuid not prove danger- ous, Dawson was taken into custody, and brought before tbe Mayor on Monday, ween he was remanded till these sessions. The woman might have been killed, and she said she wo».ld noi s ay in the house unless She was pi otected. He asked that the case should be adjourned for a week, so that the woman should be summoned to appear. The case was accordingly adjourned, the same bail being accepted. THE CHARGE OF SMASH'KG. John Williams, a native of Dublin, hawker, and George Phillips, Bristol, hawker, were brought up on remand, charged with knowingly uttering counterfeit- half-sovereigns to Jane Hughes and Mary Jane N Out se, on tti e lstb June. No furthcrevidt nee was offered, and the prisoners were duly cautioned. Williams said Respecting this man (Phillips) be does not know me or my busin- ss. We only happened to sleep together in the same room. Phillips said: I came here a. fortnight ago last Monday with some goods to sell at the lair. Aft1-' the fair was over I had been about having a drop of drink, as was well known to the police iis the te.wn. and I meant to stop till the following Monday for the market. I met with this man on Saturday night, but I know nothing about the coin. Williams asked tobeallowtd to have a copy of the depositions, which was allowed, and-both prisoners were committed to take their trial at the next assizes DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. Rachel Michael, Portland-lane, washerwoman) was charged with being drunk and disorderly in Terrace-road on the 24th inst. Defendant did net appear, and P.C. 34 proved service of summons. She was then sent for and P.C. 26 proved the case. P.C. 35 said that about ten o'clock on Saturday night he saw defendant in Portland-lane and he pushed her into the house. She was di unk ard very disorderly. She was fined 5s and costs, or fourteen days' im- prisonment. THROWING STONES. Evan Divies, Gray's Inn Lane, a lad, was charged with throwing stones. P.C. 20 said that anout 7.30 on Monday evening he saw defendant throwing stones in QueenVroad, near the Marionettes, the witness being in plain clothes. He cautioned him several times but de- fendant said that he was not on duty, and incited other boys to throw stones. Witness then asked him his name, but he refused to give it, and he was taken into custody. On the road to the police- station they met P.C. 35, who knew the lad, and he was released. P.C. 35 gave corroborative evidence, and for the defencfe two boys were called, who swore that defen- dant did not throw stones, and one of the boys said that the "bobby" wanted to get in to see the Marionettes without paying. Defendant was fined 2s 6d, the Mayor stating that the bench were pleased to find the police had taken some steps against this class of offences, as stone- throwing occasioned great risk to passers-by. If any future case came before them they should enforce the full penalty. He also called attention to boys in different parts of the town, annoying people es- pecially on Sundays. THE ABERYSTWYTH OVERSEERS AND THE CLERK l OF THE UNION. A summons was taken out against Mr Richard James and Mr Edward Humphreys, overseers, for neglecting to pay calls due to the union; but it was withdrawn. Mr Griffith Jones, solicitor, appeared lefjre the bench, and said that a summons had been issued against Mr Richard James, tanner, and that sum- mons had been withdrawn, and he now came to apply for costs. The rate was only perfected on I Monday, and the summons had been served in this case on Saturday last. Mr James received notice of bis »ppointoao»»t as overseer on the 21st April, and he then wrote to Mr Hughes, th« ves-try clerk, asking him :o make a rate for 4«. No such rate was made; but, a rate was made tor 2. and that. was not. in proper form. Nearly three months was then ali-iKO'l to elapse before he beard anything more of the fortn,"gijt a,-o Mr James received t'.p rate, and ho applied to the rate collector for cheques of the unpaid rates, so that- he might sa'isfy hima-lf on this point but the auditor being her, the r ite rate collector was unable to hand over the receipts, and he. had not had th'-se receipts up to the present iay. Mr James had, however, been in 'o'-med his brother that the auditor had carefolly gone through the arrears, and found they were cor- reutly entered excepi. one, SJ that even then 'here w.>s one tut stake i h':r- He then pointed out that, the very gentleman who was in default was the pe*- son who had issued the summons. The -duties of the overseers w. re onerous and <1iffieult. enough without- their accumulation in ihis w ,y by the serv- ing f a g rifleman like Mr James wiin a summon*, that, he hiiii never had in his house before. On the eve of the hearing, on the previous eventcg, he had been served with a no-ice withdrawing the but givie g no reason, and he now ask d for ali e--si.v ine<irivd in this mat-er. Mr ?)Zlumper understood ih t when a process Weh once issued from that court, i; was only compe- tent for tin- m gisuatesto determine whether it should be withdrawn VI!, G. n b, done with- out ihe convnt of the magistrates hut there wa< no process to compel his attendance. Mr Szla■»)per said if the rate was only made last M-.nd-y how was the summons is-ued on the previ- ous Saturday. Mr Jones said the rate bad been signed by one or two magistrates, mil > was taken for granted that it was perfect., whilst it. was not perfected till the day after. The Mayor asked Mr Jones if he could satisfy them that they had :ot aut.hori'y to allow costs. Mr Jones said Ihey had power u> do so in all cases ..f summary convictions or orders, and th y wo we! have to make an order in Mi is case if it was proceeded with and he quoted from the Act in sup- port of his statement. The Magistrates' Clerk said there was no order in th s case Mr Jones said this ease must he disposed of in some vvay or other. It must be dismissed by their worships, and an order of dismissal must be made. worships, and an order of dismissal must be made. The Magistrates' ( lerk said there was no occasion for an order, Mr Szlomper said the case was down and must be c il!« d on. 'I'he Cl,rk We have had notice that the case is withdrawn, Mr Gi iffbh Jones: I dare say but I object to the wltbdi.iwal wnen the summons is issued. The Matri-trates' Clerk said thut the magistrates bad had notice that it was withdrawn. Mr Isaac Morgan (who had just taken his sf-at) said that what the clerk said was that it was a civil action, and the costt must be recovered in the county COUrt The Magistrates' Clerk Yes. Mr Griffith Jones (to M< Isaac Morgan): In what cap ..city do you come here ? Mr Isaac Morgan As a magistrate. Mi Griffith Jones This case was partly heard be lei re you came in. Mi- I-alc Morgan: Please to conduct yourself properly. Mr Jones (laughing); Oh. yen, I'll try Mr Morgan. Mr Morgan Please to do so. Mr Griffith Jones said that he did not come there for simply a questiun of costs. His application really was with a view of exposing thf-se proceed- ings, which were unnecessary. As to the costs, Mr James did not mind spending £ 3 or X4 but be ob- jected thut hU client should be served with a sum- mons and then that summons should be withdrawn without any reason. Mr Isaac Morgan said that perhaps their clerk could explain the reason why it was withdrawn. The ,Magistr'aIP!ii' Clerk said that he really did not know, as it wa» n»» part of his duty. In cases of this sort, the application was in the nature of a civil application for an order of payment to be enforced anal-HOUS to that ot the county court. Wben a notice of withdrawal was given the magistrates would take no further notice ot it. Mr Griffith J ones accepted the analogy of the proceedings,and said that their clerk knew as well as he did that if a summons was withdrawn the day he- fore the county court the defendant would get his costs. The Magistrates' Clerk said in that case there was a tun« limited. M r Szluinper said the question was, was there suffi- cient cime »i«en in this case. A solicitor was in- s'ructed, and these costs must have been incurred hefore last night. He hardly thought people should be allowed to make use of that court to take out summonses, and then simply withdraw thatsummons wi bout alleging any reason. It was very annoying to people to receive a summons to attend that court, and it was most unfair that a summons should be withdrawn without giving any renson, besides put- ting the defendant to the inconvenience and expense ot in-tructing a solicitor before the withdrawal of the summons. The Mayor understood that Mr Jones made no ap- plicatU n for costs. Mr Jones: No; and after that exprpssion of opinion from the bench, my client is satisfied. Mr Jones then withdrew.

The Wild Birds Pre ervation Act.-Ebenezer Hughes, Llanbadarn village, a school boy of about seven years of ago, was charged with having in his possession a wild bird—yellow hammer—contrary to the provisions cf the Act. Snpt. Lloyd said he had written to Mr Morris Davies, the local secretary of the R. N, p. C. A., asking whether they would pros- ecute in this case, and he received a reply desiring him to take out a summons, not for the purpose of punishing the lad, but with the view of deterring other boys from doing the same thing. He (Mr Lloyd) could speak from I experience when he said that a great deal of mischief was done by gangs of boys, who went about robbing most of the birds' nests in the neighbourhood.—The bench, having heard the evidence, reprimanded the boy and then dis- charged him.

He then told him that he could not pay him wages for doing nothing, whereupon defendant said "all right, all right, I'll settle with you." He (witness) had to feed the horses, and defendant went into the house to get a book with an account of the wages he received with the view, presumably of "settling." He asked what the defendant was going to allow for leaving his service without any notice and he said he would not allow anything. Complainant then sug- gested that he should keep a penny or two-pence out of each shilling duo to the defendant, eu. ne did not fall in with that view. lie luon tout ue- fendant he had l.-et'er get on:with;his work, then he would he paid his wages in full.

'1 CARDIGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The Midsummer sessions for the county were commenced at Aberaeton on Tuesday, the ei business being taken at 1.30 p.m., when the 'oil; ing magistrates were present: — Colon.

Liwyndaty and > Capt Gwynni-, Monachty |r vi r Stephen Evans and Dr R. D. Roberts qualified as magistrates. ] In replv to the Cbairrcan, i The Clerk of the Peace said that he htd r-c-.ived all communication from oitner of her M jo-r.y s j Secretaries for or War, the Hon-"ex of P meat, or the Lord Lieutenant of the county COUNTY SURVEYOR'S REPORT. Mr Szlllmper, the coanty surveyor, reported Gentlemen, I have the honour to report as follows —The necessary weiring at Llaoybyther biid-e, upon which I reported at the last sessions, and which was t'len partly done, is now complete. Advertise- ments were issued tor building a new bridge at Aberaeron, and » meeting of a portion of the com- mittee was held at Aberystwyth on the 1:3th ult., when the following t-nders were opf-ned David Jonex, £ 790 Roderick Williams, £789; John Edwards, £765; EvaaEvau-},f699; and Thomas Davies, £ 695. The following day it was arranged that Tbomas Davies should attónd a meeting, which he did, when he agreed to revise his tender, making the amount £ 650. Owing to a mistake of mine in the day of holding Petty Sessions at Aheraeron no further nueeriug has been held. The plans for the proposed new police station at Aberystwyth have been forwarded to the Home Office, but not yet finally returned. The alterations in converting the old gaol at Cardigan into a police station are nearly complete. CARDIGAN LOCK-UP. Capt Jordan enquired when the lock-up at Car- digao would be fit lor occupation ? Mr Szluuiper said almost immediately now, the work being nearly finished. The drains, wa* told, were finished although he had not had time to inspect them, he believed they wore finished on Saturday. ABEBAEEON BRIDGE. Col Lloyd-Philipps said with regard to Aberaeron bridge, the committee was ordered to meet at a time which turned out to be inconvenient, a-3 he was En- gaged in hL militia duties. However, one of the officers of his regiment happened to be a member of the committee, and he delegated the duty of opening the tenders to hira, when they found all of them to be far in excess of the estimate given by the county surveyor. The lowest tender was sent in by Mr Thomas Davies, of Aberaeron, and he was inter- virwed the following day, when he agreed to accept a autn for the erection of a sione bridge at Aber- aeron to the amount specified by the. county surveyor. In the meantime there was some misunderstanding on the part of the county surveyor, who did not meet the committee at the next meeting, and a con- siderable time and loss had elapsed in the commence- ment of the bridge, but he hoped to assemble a few members of that committee hat afternoon for the purpose of considering the remaining portion of the schema, as it was felt that that no time should be lost in proceeding with the wo'k. FINANCE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The finance commute reported as follows :-We, the finance committee, beg to state that we have ex- amined the various bills presented to us and hnve found them correct. \V4I have also examined the Chief Const-ible's report, and also the report and bills of the County Surveyor. We hsve the honour to remain, your obedient servants, J. Lloyd-Philipps, t chaiiman J. G. P. Hughes, Pryse Pryse. The treasurer's accounts were then examined. Upon examiuing the bill of costs in the prosecution of Edward Morris, alias" Ted Sweep," the Chair- mar. said that upon the prosecution of Edward Morris at the last quarter sessions a letter was written ;i the Secretary of State on the subject, and he now enquired whether the Chief Constable had received any communication. An investigation had been held upon Morris, and the result was that they found that he was only an imbecile, and therefore at the end of his punishment he would be discharged. He thought from what he saw of the mm that it would be necessary that the police should keep a sharp look-out upon him when he was again at liberty. Major Basiptt Lewis (Chief Constable), said that he had received a letter enquiring what he knew of Morris, and he had forwarded a short account of his life and antecedents. He had heard nothing further The Chairman again stated that from what he saw of the young man at his trial he required a great deal of looking after. BALANCE IN HAND. The Chairman, in looking over the treasurer's accounts, said there appeared to be a very large balance in band. Mr Arthur J. Hughes, the treasurer, said that it was owing to a penny rate having been made. The Clerk of the Peace said the fast. rate WIlS i1. Mr Hughes said yes but the ratebefors that was Id.; but the balance was so great owing to the sum receÏYl'J-£ I ,6[¡O-frotD the Treasury, and for that, reason they would not require a police rate for the next two quarters. The Chairman Practically you did not require this Jd rate. Mr Hughes Exactly so. I The Chairman said the rate ordered at the Epiphany Quarter Sessions wag f-d and the pre- vious one a penny. That produced a balance of £ 594, which was rather hi^h. Mr Hughes said they estimated the rate according to the exact amount given them by the Chief Constable. He now asked for a penny county rate, and no police rate, which was allowed. Å POLICE1'tB.:s's WIDOW. The Chairman said that he would mention a re- quest that had been put in his bands relative to the widow of one of the officers, but the court was unable th accede to it, as it had no power to do so. It was that a grant should be made to the widow of one of the officers in consideration of the heavy expense which she had been put to on account of the death of her husband and child. The Chief Constable said that tne wiaow got a grant on account of the death of her husband from the fund to which he subscribed during his life- time. FITTING UP CARDIGAN LOCK-UP. Capt Jordan gave notice that at the next quarter se,isiolis he would apply for a sum not exceeding £ 15 to fit up the lock-up at Cardigan. THE CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. The Chief Constable reported:—I have the honour I to submit for your inspection my returns for the quarter ending 30th June, 1881. The number of per- sons summoned and apprehended during the quar- ter amounted to 436-393 males and 43 females. Of these two were committed for trial, 286 summarily convicted, 88 compromised, and 60 discharged. During the past quarter I have caused seven samples to be taken under the Food and Drugs Act—namely, two of gin, two of bread, two of milk, and one of whiskey. Of these four were adulterated, and in three cases the vendors were summoned and fined; in the fourth case the summons was dismissed in con- sequence of an informality in the taking of the sum- mons.

The Chairman You don't want any aoney u^toe next quarter sessions. The Chief Constable said the wori was TPacly to be proceeded with except the contract. In the oaaa of the asylum there was some oifnanity about the money, therefore ho thought it wa.s better to look forward. The business of the £ r*t day then terminated. WEDNE.SDAT.
