TOWN COUNCIL. CORPORATIONS NEW LIGHTING SCHEME. WHEN WILL THERE BE REDUCTION IN PRICE OF GAS? FIRE BRIGADE'S CURIOUS EXPERIENCE. At a meeting of the Haverfordwest Town Council, held in the Council Chamber on Tues- day evening, the Mayor (Mr. Isaiah Reynolds) occupied the chair, and there were also present: Alderman T. Rule Owen, Councillors J H Bishop J. Reynolds, T. H. Thomas. H. J. E. Price, Philip White, G. Merchant Phillips, H. J. Rogers, W. G. Rowlands, and George Davies. WATER COMMITTEE'S ADMINISTRATION Mr H. J. E. Price presented the report of the Water Committee, which stated that Alderman Thomas Lewis James was elected chairman for the year. Councillor Llewellin was voted to the chair for this meeting. The committee recom- mended accounts for payment amounting to 428 13s.. and water loan £432 2s. lid. The Surveyor was instructed to procure a truck of anthracite coal at 23s. 9d. per ton. The committee recom- mended that five persons be excused their spe- cial water rates amounting together to £ 1 4s 6d. ¡ The committee invited the council to attend the starting of the new plant at Crow hill on Thurs- day. the 26th inst.. at 2.30 p.m. The Surveyor said with reference to the an- thracite the Bonville Court Colliery Company were very anxious to secure a trial of their an- thracite, so their agent had offered a trial truck at 22s. instead of 24s., the ordinary quotation. Mr George Davies asked if they did not adver- tise for tenders in reference to the supply of coal? The Surveyor said the idea was to get sample trucks for trial in order to get the best anihra- cite. He might point out that they had a truck of the 23s. 9d. anthracite coal in stock, so they could give that a trial as well. Mr. H. J. Rogers proposed that a truck of an- thrracite at 22s. be obtained. anthracite at 22s. be obtained. The Surveyor said in reference to the last clause of the report the new plant was not yet sufficiently completed for the council to attend the opening on Thursday. It was decided to adjourn the opening cere- mony for a month. The report of the committee, as amended, was adopted. THE TOWN'S SANITATION. Mr J. H. Bishop moved the adoption of the report of the Sanitary Committee. The report stated that Councillor Bishop was elected chair- man for the year. The committee recommended accounts fos payment amounting to £155 2s. The committee had instructed the Town Clerk to make enquiry of the owners of several sites suit- able for the erection of workingmen's houses, as to their willingness to sell, and will report fur- ther. The committee recommended that statu- tory notices be served in respect of the following nuisances, and in default of compliance there- with that the Inspector of Nuisances be author- ised to prosecute:—Mr. K. L. Palmer, the owner in respect of defective drains, etc., at the Stone- mason's Arms; Messrs. Eaton Evans and Will- iams, the owners in respect of a defective water- closet on premises occupied by Mr. W. Francis, at Castle Cottage; on Mr. A. H. Thomas, the owner, in respect of defective drains, etc., at 85, 87. and 89, Prendergast; on Mr. T. G. Lewis, the owner, in respect of defective waterclosets at Nos. 30 and 32. Quay Street; on Mr. A. M. Thomas, the owner, in respect of defective water- closets at Nos. 72 and 74, Ruther Lane; on Mr. William Henry Thomas, the owner, in respect of a defective watercloset at No. 70. Ruther Lane; on Mrs. Harries, the owner, in respect of a de- fective watercloset at No. 76. Ruther Lane; on Mr. F. F. Herbert, the owner, in respect of de-I fective drains at No. 6, Hill Street; on the mana-! ger of the Metropolitan Bank, Ltd., High Street,! Haverfordwest, and the Starr Bowkett Building I Society, in respect of defective drains at St.' Elms and Claremont, Goat Street The Inspector of Nuisances was instructed to take the neces- sary proceedings to have No. 34, Quay Street. closed, as being unfit for habitation. The In- spector of Nuisances was instructed to take pro- ceedings against Mr. E. W. Rees, in respect of a nuisance at his stable in Hill Lane. The Com- mittee recommended that five persons be ex- cused from payment of their general district rates, amounting together to R,3 13s. 6d. The Surveyor was authorised to obtain quotations for new brushes for the horse sweeper. Mr. J. H. Bishop moved the necessary statu- tory notices which was agreed to, and the report of the Committee was adopted. ALL NIGHT LIGHTING OF THE TOWN.1 Mr. George Davies moved the adoption of the port of the Gas Committee, which stated that His Worship the Mayor was elected chairman for the year. The Committee recommended ac- counts for payment amounting to jS383 2s. Id. (including £ 261 19s. lOd. for gas coal. The Com- mittee recommended the acceptance of Mr. J. Paton's offer of 42s. 6d. per ton for scrap iron at the Gas Works. The Committee instructed the Gas Manager to order a cargo of coal for the Springtide after next. The Borough Surveyor submitted his scheme for all night street lamps in the principal Squares and Cross Streets with- in the Borough, and the Committee recommend that the scheme be adopted, and that the Con- trollers be had on the hire system. The Com- mittee ecommended that a lamp at North Gate be removed to the other side of the road, and propose to lay a new inch pipe in connection with the new service in place of the old i pipe. For the benefit of those members of the Council who were not on the Gas Committee, he should like to explain their scheme for keeping the lamps in all night. It was suggested in the scheme brought in by their Surveyor that the lamps to be left lighted all night should be one lamp at the bottom of Prendergast, in Swan Square, City Road, and Mariners Square; a lamp at the bottom of Market Street, in Upper Mar- ket Street, and one at the top of Dew Street. They considered that the fact of some of the lamps remaining lighted all night would be a great acquisition not only to the people of the town. but to those who came in from the coun- try at night for medical assistance or other ur- gent business. Alderman T. Rule Owen agreed tlxut the light- ing of the streets would pro-,e a „'rea; advantage all round. „ Mr. G. M. Phillips inquired whether thev in- tended to permanently adopt the controllers f"r the gas lamps, and if so whether it would no* be cheaper to nurchis? th-n outright rar' r than hire them as at present? The Surveyor r. con. trollers on the pur- chased outrig"ht th •• each. The Mayor said the hir. of th- c n r llers was 5s. and 5s. 6d. a year. But 'r»r th t. sum they were kept in repair. That would be a substan- tial yearly item, and so the Gas Committee had decided that it was cheaper to hire the control- lers. The report of the Gas Committee was agreed to. BOROUGH COMMITTEE'S AFFAIRS. Mr. T. H. Thomas presented the report of the Borough Committee, which stated that Council- lor T. H. Thomas was elected as chairman for the ensuing year. The Committee recommen- ded accounts for payment amounting to jE126 5s Id. The Committee recommended that the iron bars in the stalls of the Meat Market be cleaned J?ew mea^ k°°ks provided where required' The Committee report that the agreement for the tenancy of No. 4, High Street, had been com- pleted and executed by Mr. S. D. Pugh, and the Council. The Surveyor was instructed to pre- pare an estimate of the cost of repaving the Corn ded^Ti lights. The Committee recommen- nf .h? u regl-.latlon of entry and departure toll i J matter of agreement between the oil lessee and the show proprietors. The Com- £ 5 rreCeipt of an enquiry from the Small Holdings Committee as to the Council's and at Portfield, but they recommend that the Council s land be not let either for small hold- ings or allotments. th<f Report^ PhlIllps seconded the adoption of THE CONTROLLING OF SHOWMEN. W- G- Rowlands said he should like to H f0!??6 as to the recommenda- tion of the Committee with regard to the entry and departure of showmen on Sunday. That HnTnf fvathn Vag-Ve in the face of th* resolu- tion of the Council as to the controlling of the entering and leaving of those people. Mr. T. H. Thomas replied that it was the in- tention of the Committee to include a clause pro- hibiting showmen entering and leaving the town on Sunday, in the agreement with the les- see. Mr. Rowlands enquired if the Council were to ™ ?r ^rante<1 that would be the case Mr. Bishop moved that the paragraph in the Borough Committee's report be struck out, and that the matter be referred back to the Commit- tee with an instruction from the Council to frame a bye-law. If the present suggestion of the Com- mittee were adopted, so far as the Council was concerned, the matter would be left entirely in the hands of the show proprietors and the les- see. The Town Clerk said he should like to remind the Council that the question arose when the matter was first considered as to whether or not that bye-law would be sanctioned by the Local Government Board? He had been informed that at Pembroke they had passed a similar bye-law, and so he wrote to the Town Clerk of Pembroke asking him whether such was the case? Mr ^k8kS ^ad wri,tten in reP1-v that they had no smch bye-law in force at Pembroke, but all show- men who required sites in the town were re- quired to sign 'an agreement which prohibited ri or leaving on Sunday. He, t'he Clerk therefore thought that the wisest plan for the Borough Committee would be to require showmen desirous of entering the town to sign a similar agreement. It was open to the Town wWhDqUir\fr01? the Local Government Board whether such a bye-law as waa suggested Jh2ld»hbe n obvio" ^wetrd that the Pembroke Town Council were of the tFnn»T t?

The Clerk said they could see what the Local Government Board would do. Mr. H. J. Rogers said that if they did not have a bye-law nothing would be binding on those showmen. The lessee would be unable to con- trol them, and they would enter and leave the town just when they wished. It was decided to refer the matter back to the Borough Com *tee, and the Town Clerk was in-I structed to wi to the Local Government Board and ask if such a bye-law as proposed would be sanctioned by that authority. THE CORPORATION AND SMALL HOLDINGS. The Mayor said it was only fair to mention with regard to the last paragraph of the report of the Borough Committee with reference to Small Holdings, the feeling of the Borough Com- mittee was that they had no land at the present time for small holdings, and more especially 80 in view of the fact that the land owned by the Council at Portfield might be required at no distant time for the purposes of a cemetery. He thought that ought to be mentioned because the Council were in full sympathy with the S'mall Holdings and Allotments Act. Most of the Council's land at the present time was let out in small holdings. Mr. W. G. Rowlands: And probably, Mr Mayor, somre of the land will be required for building purposes. TRUSTEES FOR VAWER'S CHARITY. The Mayor said their next business was to elect five trustees on Vawer's Charity. They had received copies of the new scheme. Mr. Marchant Phillips said he was going to propose the names of five gentlemen to those po- sitions which were positions of great trust. He moved that the five gentlemen who had passed the chair be elected, as follows:—The Mayor, Messrs. H. J. E. Price, J. H. Bishop, J. Reynolds, and T. H. Thomas. He had thought of propos- ing the election of their aldermen. He under- stood, however, that Aldern|an T. Rule Owen was already connected with the charity, as trea- surer, and Sir Charles Philipps and Alderman T. L. James were non-attendants. Alderman T. Lewis James was ill, and would not care to have his public responsibilities increased. Mr. H. T. Rogers seconded, and t'he resolution. was carried. RE-ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES ON BURIAL BOARD. The Mayor said their next business was to ap- point six members to the Prendergast Joint Burial Board. The present representatives were the Rev. D. A. Jones, Messrs. Marlay Samson, George Davies, Prendergast; Phillip White, Thos. I Henry Thomas, and James Rowlands. On the proposition of Mr. J. H. Bishop, secon- ded by Mr. George Davies, all the old represen- tatives were re-elected. The Mayor said the next matter was the com- sideration of the market bye-laws, and list of tolls, as revised by the Local Government Board. On the suggestion of the Town Clerk it was decided to consider the matter in committee at the conclusion of the ordinary business of the Council. FORTHCOMING EISTEDDFOD. The Clerk read a letter from the secretary (Mr. W. G. Rowlands), stating that it had been deci- ded to hold an eisteddfod on Whit-Monday, and asking the permission of the Town Council to hold committee meetings in the Council Cham-1 ber. The proceeds of the Eisteddfod were to be divided between Dr. Henry Owen's Library scheme, and the Town Improvements Commit- tee. It was resolved that the use of the Council Chamber be granted subject to the usual gratu- ity to the caretaker. The Clerk read a circular from the National Council in reference to a conference on the un- employed question to be held in London on Fri- day and Saturday, December 4th and 5th. No action was taken in the matter. WHEN FIREMEN ARE USELESS. The Clerk read a report from the Fire Brigade to the effect that the Brigade was summoned at 2.45 on the afternoon of the previous Thursday to a. fire which had broken out in the hayguard at Trapps, Roch, farmed by Joseph Williams. On arrival it was found that no water was avail- able. After .several hours service the Brigade were re-called, as it was found their services could not be utilised. Excellent service had been rendered by Messrs. Charles Davies and Richard Owen, who were not members of the Brigade. A bill for iE6 6s. was enclosed. Mr. H. J. Rogers thought that when Captain Harry Roberts found that owing to the scarcity of water the Brigade could render no useful ser- vice, he ought to have withdrawn his men. It would be very hard lines in the case of farmers who were not insured if the Brigade was unable to render them any service, and then ran them up a nea'y bill in addition to the loss sustained by the fire. It was resolved that the matter be brought to the attention of the Fire Brigade Committee, and the amount was ordered to be paid. Mr. George Davies said he wished to draw the notice of the Council to the very dangerous state of the wall in Goat Street, opposite Foley House. The stones on the wall were quite loose. Mr. Gibbon stated that the wall was repairable by t'he Council, and it was resolved that the matter be attended to.
« Two Mistakes Haverfordwest…
« Two Mistakes Haverfordwest Makes. Many Haverfordwest men and women who are chronic sufferers from piles are making two mis- takes Firstly, they do not look upon their ail- ment as anything serious; secondly, they have come to believe they can never be cured. But piles ARE serious, because if neglected they become torturing, and a surgical operation may becolne necessary to prevent fistula. •And piles CAN be cured, completely and per- manently, by Doan's ointment. There is plenty of home proof of that, for local cases like the following are continually being reported to us:- "I was cured of piles by Doan's ointment "nearly four years ago," and I have scarcely felt anything of the distressing ailment since," says Mr. Joseph J. Mead, 31, Briton Ferry-road, Neath "I oan highly recommend the ointment to others troubled in the same way." Here is what Mr. Mead told us just after his cure. "Doan's ointment has done me a lot of good in the. case of piles, from which I had suf- fered for six years, and was never free from pain. The piles used to bleed very much, and I could hardly get about. I tried all kinds of treatment, but I got worse instead of better. I lost a lot of time from work, and I was laid up when I heard of Doan's ointment. "I got some of this, and in a few days it had done me so much good that I was able to go back to my work. I persevered with the oint- ment, and I became free from the painful trouble. (Signed) J. J. MEAD." Doan's ointment is two shillings and nine- pence per pot, or six pots for thirteen shillings and nmepence.

Pembrokeshire Farmers at Variance. SEQUEL AT THE HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY COURT. At the Haverfordwest County Court before His Honour Judge Bishop on Tuesday Henry Morris, farmer, Roch, claimed £28 3s. from Joseph Davies, a farn, labourer, of Peny- swm, for damages sustained by the defendant as- saulting him on August 15th. Mr. W. J. Jones solicitor, Haverfordwest, appeared for the plain- tiff, and Mr. W. G. Eaton Evans, solicitor, Haver- fordwest, for the defence. Mr. W. J. Jones said the defendant knocked the plaintiff down, and threatened him with a stick. Henry Morris, plaintiff, Roch, said he was a farmer. The defendant lived in the same parish and he was a farmer. On the date of the assault he had been out driving, and he stopped at the Farmers' Arms, about nine o'clock in the even- ing. That was half a mile from home. There were a lot of men there. He had a drink, and then got up to go. The defendant was in the Farmers' Arms. The witness got up to go and the defendant said he was coming to. They started to walk home together, and tney were quite friendly. The defendant asked him if he I I I could remember the time his latner ana ne naa a quarrel. Witness replied that lie did not know what the quarrel was about. The defen- dant said, "This is the first time I have caught thee by thyself since." Witness said, "Either go on first or keep behind." The defendant said, thee, I will have my revenge to-night." De- fendant then knocked him down with a stick, and whilst he was on the floor. kicked him all over. The defendant put his knees on him- The defendant finally got up and as he was trying to get up defendant struck him six or seven severe blows on the head. Defendant said he would have his revenge if it cost him L5 a blow. His Honour: Is he a bigger man than you? Witness: No. But he is a fighting man. His Honour: But you are a big man. Did you not retaliate ? Witness said he suffered very great pain. He was only 300 yards from home, and he managed to get home. His head was cut so bad that the blood soaked through t'he bandages, and the pillow case. He drove in on the Monday to see Dr. Wilson, who attended to his injuries, and was still in attendance. Cross-examined: He did not have naything to drink on the day of the assault except a sleever at the Pelcomb Arms. There were a good many men in the Farmers Arms. Henry Woolcock was there. The landlady did not refuse to give him, a drink. He did not keen his neice waiting for an hour outside the Farmers Arms, and then sent her home. He lived seven miles from Haverfordwest, and it took him three hours to come into town. When the defendant and he left the Farmers' Arms there was no conversa- tion as to the burial of his sister. Witness did not ask defendant if anyone had been talking to 'his niece. There was nothing said as to a colliery being opened on the estate. He did not catch hold of the defendant by the collar, and try and throttle him. They did not fall together into the ditch. The defendant knocked him into the ditch. He saw Albert Woolcock at his house that night. He complained to Woolcock of the assault by Davies, but he was drunk. Whilst Woolcock was there the witness did not go out into the yard and fire a gun. He had been locked up for being drunk and disorderly at his own sale. He was sold out under a bill of sale. Dr. Wilson, F.R.C.S., Haverfordwest, said he saw the plaintiff on August 17th. He had numer- ous small wounds on the scalp. He had a cut on the left ear, and bruises over his body. He had probably been knocked on the head with a stick. He complained of pain and stiffness around his ribs and side. Cross-examined: The woilnds were superficial. Would it be possible for the wounds to be caused by falling on a heap of stones?—It is not at all likely. Amy John said she was the niece of the plain- tiff. She lived with him, and looked after the farm. On August 15th they went to Haverford- west. On their way back the plaintiff went into the Farmer's Arms. He came out and told her to go home. The plaintiff came home about half an hour after. He was covered with blood, and suffering from cuts on his head and body. In consequence of the injuries her uncle had not been able to attend to his farm. Mr. W. G. Eaton Evans said the defence was that the plaintiff went into the Farmer's Arms very drunk. He sent his niece home and said he would walk home with the defendant. Morris was very quarrelsome, and charged the defen- dant with a number of things, and finally caught him by the throat. Davies threw him off and he fell on a heap of stones. Joseph Davies, Penycwm, said he was a labour- er. He went to the Farmer's Arms on August 15th, and asked for a sleever of beer, which was served him. It would be eight o'clock in the evening. He left work at six o'clock, and had been home to tea. The plaintiff asked for more beer, which was refused him, and he was asked to go home. Defendant went out once or twice during the time Morris was in there. The cart was at the door more than an hour. Morris and he started to go home together. The defendant was a grave digger, and he spoke of his sister being buried at the grave where he intended to be buried. Morris said he was going to have the vicar brought up about it, and appeal to the bishop. Morris asked if he had seen anyone go- ing home with his niece, and the defendant re- plied that lie had. and Morris said the girl would be getting into trouble. They began discussing the question of Col. Roch's colliery rights. Mor- ris caught hold of him by the coat and they fell on a eap of stones. He did not strike Morris. Defendant left fhe plaintiff then. Cross-examined: You knew the man was seri- ously injured?—No, I did not. It was true that he had a stick in his hand but he never struck the plaintiff with it. Albert Woolcock said he remembered August W £ rs working at the plaintiff's farm at that time. He was at the Farmer's Arms when Morris arrived there. Morris was tight, and he remained in the house about two hours. Morris had been there.

Pembrokeshire Man and the Friendly Society. SHABBY TREATMENT BY THE ONE AND ALL ASSURANCE CO." At the Haverfordwest County Court before His Honour Judge Bishop, on Tuesday, an action was heard in which Benjamin Jenkins, a grocer's assistant of Milford Haven, sought to recover from the "One and AH Sickness Assurance Asso- ciation," London, the sum of Z7, sick payment. The defendant company had paid £ 1 into court, a and repudiated liability for the full amount, on the ground that the plaintiff had not kept up his premiums, and his membership had, as a conse- quence, lapsed. Mr. Harold Evans, solicitor, Milford Haven, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jones Lloyd, solicitor, Pembroke Dock, for the deftndants. Mr. Harold Evans for the plaintiff said that was a claim: for sick pay by his client, against the defendant company, the "One and All Sick- ness and Accident Assurance Association, Ltd." His client was the "one," and the defendant company the "all." For the payment of a pre- mium of one shilling a month, the benefit in the case of sickness or accident was E-1 per week, but that was not to commence until seven days i after the date of the commencement of the ill- ness or the accident arising. The plaintiff be- came a member and got a subscription book in February. He paid his premiums in advance in February, March, April and May, including up to June 1st. The defendant was taken ill on May 18tli, and sent a certificate. He was there- fore entitled to £ 1 a week benefit from May 25tn. The money was not paid, and he was consulted. Later the defendant company admitted that the plaintiff was entitled to benefit payment of £1 ] for June, but they never sent the money. Benjamin Jenkins, plaintiff, said he was a grocer's assistant. He insured in the defendant company in February, 1908, and paid the pre- miums for February, March, April and May. He also paid a shilling for entering. He became ill on May 18th, and was attended by Dr. Davies until July 18th. He did not receive any pay from his employer whilst ill. He was, therefore, un- able to pay the premiums after he took ill. He had never received any money from the com- pany. His book had to be sent up with the pre- I miums every month, and it was sent up in May and detained by the Company until September 25th. It was returned wrt'h apologies for delay and saying they would accept premiums up to date. Cross-examined: When you entered into the company did you sign a proposal fornii?—Yes. r 5 this your signature at the bottom of the pro- posal form?—No. I have a similar one at home whi.;h 1 signed. Mr. Jones Lloyd asked the defendant to write his nam is which he did. Witness1 The agent wrote out the proposal form and signed my name to it in my presence. Is that your subscription book?—Yes. Y«"i have only paid in two sums of 2s. for pre- mi urn:, '(--Yes. There was a shilling due for June. Why did you not send it up -They 'had my.card. On the back of the card it states no benefit will be paid for sickness or accident during any period whilst the premium was unpaid?—Yes. Why did not you pay the premiums for the months after June?—Because they had my book from May until September. You took bad on May 16th?—Yes. How did you come to write to the company in May pointing out that you had your book in vour possession?—I made a mistake in the date. I had the book on May 1st. The company asked for the book after that letter, and I sent it. His Honour: You never paid your subscrip- tion for June until September. His Honour: The Comapny stated that they would pay him £1 a week so Jong as his pre- miums were paid. The plaintiff said he did not get the £1, and, therefore he could not pay the premium. Mr. Jones Lloyd said all benefits ceased if the premiums were not paid. That was clearly set forward in the rules. The fact that the card was detained by the company in London did not effect the issue. Whilst he was in bed suffering from inflammation of the legs he received his card. If the card was in London in June he ought to have sent up his shilling. He did not pay his shilling, and his membership lapsed. The Company had paid £1 into Court. His Honour: There is no; doubt the man ought to have paid his premiums, but the company might have overlooked that, and sent the igl a week, less the amount of the payments. The man was sick ir1 bed, and the company did not dtl44 him the £ 1. It seemed to him it was a rather shabby defence. The only difficulty was for him in point of law to say the plaintiff was entitled to the money. They had the £1 in hand of that man's money, and they could have deducted the amount of the premiums. Mr. Jones Lloyd: He should have kept up his premiums. His Honour said the plaintiff was entitled to the £1 paid into Court, and it was a question whether he was entitled to the rest of the money. Mr. Jones Lloyd said looking at the matter in its moral aspect, the plaintiff did not send up the back money, but he claims £7 from them. His Honour: I think the company, when they know the facts of the case, will not stand on their strict legal position. I think the company if they want to maintain their position in the world, should pay the money. I will adjourn the case to enable them¡ to settle the matter. +
Curious Claim Against Executors.
Curious Claim Against Executors. FISHGUARD ACTION AT THE HAVERFORD- WEST COUNTY COURT. At the Haverfordwest County Court before His Honour Judge Bishop on Tuesday, Mary Griffiths, Tower Hill, Fishguard, sought to recover E20 10s. from the Rev. James Jones and others, as the executors of the late Mrs. Dinah John, for services rendered to the de- ceased. Mr. Lewis, solicitor, Fishguard, ap- peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. W. J. Jones, solicitor, Haverfordwest, for the defence. Mr. Lewis said Mary Griffiths lived in Fish- guard. Dinah John, the deceased, sent into the plaintiff's house. The plaintiff went in and found the deceased in a very bad state, suffer- ing from asthma and heart disease. The plain- tiff wais, there all the time, and- after Mrs. John's death, sent in a claim to the executors. Mary Griffiths, wife of John James Griffiths, said she lived' at Tower Hill, Fishguard. In 1907 she lived next door to Dinah John, who sent in for her. Dinah John was in a fit. She was suf- fering from asthma and heart disease. Dinah John lived by herself. Witness gave the woman brandy and water, and applied hot flannels. Witness attended the woman up till her deatn. About the November following Martha Harries emmje there. There was an arrangement with Martha Harries to go in there every other night. Miss Harries was a relation of Dinah John. Mrs Evans, Croesgoch, another relative, afterwards came there. Mrs. Evans stayed there ten weeks. Mrs. R'aymond came afterwards. Mrs. Dinah John wrote to Mrs Raymond stating she was there. Witness had previously carried on laundry work, and she had to give that up Cross-examined: She first went to Mrs.' John on Oct. 1st. Deceased had two little girls ffjffi Letterston staying there. It was a fac4 she kept a lodger, and had two children. Mrs. D'inah John had two little girls lodging there. Mrs. John always said that she should have mourn- ing, and that she would be well paid. Mrs. John said she would pay her if she could put her hands on her money. John James Griffiths corroborated. He gave consent. for his wife to do the work. S^rah Phillips said sha was a district nurse'at risheruard. She viRprl i<\ rxaii j t u o, "pun me ueueasea, Dinah John. She saw Mrs. Griffiths there, and she was attending on the deceased. Mrs John said she was very lucky to have Mrs Griffiths so near, and she would pay her well. Mrs. John was suffering from bronchial asthma, and she 12s ^°pslcaL ,She. considered the amount of ver'v roja ,Y ^lar^d by Mrs. Griffiths was very reasonable. Mrs. John told her her own self that she could not be alone. Anna Jane Davies said she lived at Tower Hill She J1 go and see the deceased occasionally. She sáw several people there, but saw Mrs. Grffi hs there the most. Mrs. John said Griffiths was a good friend of hers. Annie John sa.id she lived with the plaintiff RospUTh WaS Wlt^ Mrs- Jo'hn constantly.

JAMES PETTMAN, of Woodnesborough, near Dover, writes —"You will recollect my send- ing to you for six bottles of 'Clarke's Blood Mix- ture' a year ago or more. Well, I am gtad to say that I am now quite restored, and free from Eczema. I think it must be for 10 years that I have suffered from it. I was under a doctor for several years, but did not derive much benefit. If ever I find a sufferer I shall always recommend 'Clarke's Blood Mixture.' I should have written to you before, only having had Eczema so badly, I thought it would surely break out again, but I am glad to state that it is quite gone." RHEUMATIC A 0 SUMKA CIlRED MR. EDWIN CALVERT, of 26, Turn Street, Lin- coln, writes, under the date of April 19th, 1905:- "Dear Sirs,-It is with pleasure I make the follow- ing statement: I suffered for years with rheuma- tism and sciatica, and sometimes could scarcely walk home after a night's police duty. At last I was advised to try your Clarke's Blood Mixture, and after taking eight bottles, I am pleased to say I was quite cured. I have been free from all the rheumatic pains for a year, and can therefore say the cure is lasting."
