LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.—The arrivals last week from Ireland were 10 firkins of butter and 3,399 bales bacon, and from foreign ports 30,735 packages of butter and 2,604 bales bacon.

Old Irish pressed for sale. The bacon market ruled very Ann, and prices generally advanced 4s. il c wt.; best Waterford sizeable charged 80s. on board for orders, and Hamlurg OSs. to 70s. landed.

Priyes may be quoted at about £ 3$cwt. lower than those realized last autumn. LONDON HOP, MONDAY.—The late improvement in the tone of our market is well sustained, but the quantity of low- priced hops is very limited, many holders declining at present to put their stocks in the market. A good business is passing in Americans and Californians, and a fair enquiry prevails for yearlings and old English.

The present dulness is likely to continue, as nianfaeturers are not likely to extend their operations until assured of a better market. Both Colonial and English produce remain much about the same in value. CCKUKNT PRICES. This year. Last year. (Per It..) s. d. s. d. s. (I- s. d.

Trade Intelligence. WOLVERHAMPTON IRON TRADE.-WT.RN. SD.\Y. The commencement of war is welcomed as certain to improve the demand for iron. Meantime some orders are countermanded and some suspended. Hematite pigs were tinner at 77s. 6d., but certain common Staffordshire pigs were down Is. 3d. V1 ton, and the better Staffordshire kinds were appreciably weaker, though quotations were unchanged. Stocks of pigs are increasing, and preparations are beil1! made to blow out furnaces. Some blast furnace cfyeratives have accepted a drop of 10 ÐJ cent, in their wages. A committee of coalmasters and colliers is preparing a new wages agreement. THE CROPS AND THE CORN TRADE. The ]fark-Lane Express says—Advices are still unfavourable as to the progress of spring sowing, which, already tediously protracted, has been carried on in a more or less desultory man- ner. The sodden condition of the soil has rendered it almost impossible to sow barley, and farmers are anxiously awaiting a favourable chance. In the Lowlands of Scotland farm work has fairly advanced, but in the North sowing has been put a stop to by continual falls of rain and snow. Fodder is said to be unu- sually scarce and, under the influence of the ungenial weather, the appearance of the pastures is the reverse of promising. Winter-sown wheat has made but little progress, and vegetation generally responds but slowly to the breath of spring. Supplies have been very light at the country m[1,rkets, and farmers have shown little disposition to sell their wheat, except at such extravagant prices as 66s. for white, and 60s. for old. The provincial trade has been excited, and prices irregular, but where sales have been made prices have advanced 3s. to 4s. quarter. The imports of wheat into London continue on a verv moderate scale, the arrivals from America being still almost insignificant.

WILD STRAWBERRIES IN JANUARY.—The following re- markable account is taken from Science Gossip:—"1 think the following fact is worth recording. Whilst out for a walk with a friend last week (the third week in January) on the borders of Wales, I gathered some wild strawberries, about half the size of peas. They were green and in healthy state, and the plants which they were growing were covered with flowers and flower-buds. -H. G., Oswestry." It would be interesting to know the locality. The time of flowering for the wild strawberry (Fragaria Ve"ca) is from May to July. Packet Teas in po;fertion.-POI,AND, ROBERTSON (. Co's. Pure Teas, Guaranteed by Government Inspection can be ob- tained in :1Ïr-tight packets in quantities ranging from Two Ounces to One Pound, of most respectable Grocers, Chemists, Bakers Confectioners, Stationers and others, in all towns and villages throughout the United Kingdom, at prices from 2s. per lb., and upwards. The public are respectfully requested to ask for Poland., Robertson. & Co.'s Pure Teas, which are guaranteed to be unadulterated. An 81b. Tin of Pure Tea sent carriage paid to any Railway Station in the United Kingdom on Receipt of Post Office Order. For particulars of agency apply to the London Wa-ehonses, Curtain i'ioad, E.G. THROAT IRRITATION.—The throat and windpipe are especially liable to inflammation, causing soreness and dryness, tickling and irritation, inducing cough and affecting the voice. For these symptoms use glycerine in the form of jujubes. Glycerine, in these agreeable confections, being in proximity to the glands at the moment they are excited by "the act of sucking, becomes actively healing. Sold only in (id. and Is. boxes (by post for 14 stamps), labelled JAMES EPUS Co., Honueopathic Chemists 48, Threadneedle-street, and 170, Piccadilly, London. Sold in Wrexham by Mr. Rowlands, Chemist, High Street HKCKITT'S PARIS BLUE.—The marked superiority of this Laundry Blue over all others, and the quick appre- ciation of its merits by the public has been attended with the usual result, viz. a flood of imitations the merit of the latter mainly consists in the ingenuity exerted, not simply in imitating the square sh-ape. but making the general appearance of the wrappers resemble that of the genuine article. The manufacturers beg, therefore, to caution ail buyers to see lieckitt's Paris' Blue" on each packet. NOVELTY, AS A RULE, IS A DELUSION.—The truth of the above sentence was never more clearly proved, than in case of Public Medicine, during the 38 years Jones' Treniadoc Pills have been before and benefitting the Public. Hundreds of ill that time appeareu, and most of them disappeared. The old medicine still remains in name and quality and go forth to bene- fit suft'erina humanity, so if anyone is troubled with INDIGES- TION, snd its long train of diseases, use JONES' TKKMADOC Pn.l.s. To be had of all chemists, or per post from the pro- prietor, Cambrian Pill Depot, Tremadoc, North Wales. 14 stamps for the Is. lid. box, 33 for 2s. Gd., GO for 4s. Od.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILL).-Tlle finest reme- dies in the world for bad legs, old wounds, sores, and ulcers. If used according to directions given with them there is 110 wound, bad leg, or ulcerous sore, however ob- stinate or long standing, but will yield to their healing and curative properties. Numbers of persons who have been patients in several of the large hospitals and under the care of eminent surgeons, without deriving the slightest benefit, have been thoroughly cured by Holloway's Oint- ment and Pills. For glandular swellings, tumours, scurvy, and diseases of the skin there is no medicine that can be used with so good an effect. In fact, in the worst forms of disease, dependent upon the condition of the blood, these medicines, if used conjointly, are irresistible.

RODNEY'S PILLAR (Apr. 4. 1377).— A.H. whowroteon this date about the engraving of Rodney's Pillar belonging to Mrs. Lloyd, further informs us that at the foot of the picture the following is printed, Colofn Rodney, or Rodney'* Pillar, erected on the Summit of Breidden, one of the highest hills in Montgomeryshire, by a subscription of the gentlemen of that County, as a lnark of their gratitude to the worthy Admiral for the eminent services lie has done his country. Published according to-Act of Parliament by R. Baugh, 1787."

NOTES. GWYDDELOB TOWYN.— In the reign of Edw. I., one Gwyn Wyddel was owner of Gwyddelfynydd, and doubtless the place was called after him. Upon the 6th March, 18 Edw. II., his son, Ievan ap Gwyn Wyddel, owned it. Gwyn was not an Irishman, but was lineally descended from Gwaethvoed, Lord of Cardigan. It was common in former days for Welshmen who had sojourned in Ireland, to be denominated Gwyddcl, upon their return to Wales. W. WEATHER SIGNS IN MONTGOMERYSHIHE. —The change of weather is variously indicated in various counties. Thus the sea-bordering parts have peculiar signs of the change of temperature, and so also has a mountainous district; and also a level part has its signs of a change in weather. It would be curious to collect all these weather saws. Some possibly are fanciful, others probably are to be accounted for upon correct principles.

QUERIES. IX WHAT COUNTY IS PLTNLIMON ?—In one of the earlier issues of Arch. Camh., "A Travelling Antiquary" writes as follows :— It is commonly supposed that Plynlimon is ill Montgomery- shire and if any man would stand up in Llanidloes market and assert the contrary, it would go hard with liiui but he would be called a Gwyddel, or a Sais," or some other anti-fraternal name. And yet 1 really believe this mountain—the top of it- the real, original Plynlimon-the Pen Plynlimon fawr, as the men of the coeh cyfan would call it—does stand within the limits of Cardiganshire. Let the Montgomeryshire men look to it. Was this peripatetic antiquary correct in his topography ? SPOT. [Quite right; see Bye-gones, February 19, 1373, at page 137 of Reprint of First Series.—ED.] THE BOYS" BAILIFF.—In the third volume of Brand's Popular Antiquities, is an interesting paragraph, respecting The Boys' Bailiff." An old custom, it is said, so-called formerly, prevailed at Wenlock, in Shropshire, in the Whitsuii week. It consisted, says Mi'. Collins, of a man who.wore a hair-cloth gown, and was called the bailiff, a recorder, justices, and other municipal officers. They were a large retinue of men and boys mounted an horseback, begirt with wooden swords, which they carried ou officers. They were a large retinue of men and boys mounted an horseback, begirt with wooden swords, which they carried ou their right so that they were obliged to draw their swords out with their left hands. They used to call at the gentlemen's houses in the franchise, where they were regaled with refresh- ments and they afterwards assembled at the Guildhall, where the Town Clerk read some sort of rigmarole which they called their charter, one part of which was We go from Bickbury, and Badger, to Stoke on the Clee, To Monkhopton, Round Acton, and so return we. The first three-named places are the extreme points of the franchise; and the other two are on the return to Much Wenlock. Mr. Collins supposes this custom to have originated in giving a bannering. Can anyone give the text of the charter ? W.R.H. REPLIES. ST. DAVIDS DAY (Mar. 7, 21, 1877).—The enclosed is a copy of the pamphlet asked for by N.W.S. The original is of 4to size, and badly printed.

London. Printed for 1. Harrison The Welchmen's Jubilee. FAME, the vice-gerent of the universe, is most to be applauded for her future indulgence to her sons for whom idle cherisheth alive she will not permit to lie in the odious s0pnkhro of ob- livion nor suffer their names to bo raced out or the rolles of honour, but in an annuall progression rather to blowtheir names abroad with the trump of never dying glory. The explication of my meaning includes the customary observation of the Weich- meii who yearly celebrate one day to the honour of St.-David (once their Grand Sig.iior of chivalry) in great solemnitie. He that WHS once the Pillar of their hopes, the Glory and Sole Fame of their eountric is now honoured (although long .since interred) in the memory of his meritorious Name He that esteemed not his dearest bloud su: 'icient_ to accommodate his country is eternized or at least solemnized by the same, and hath, more- over, a respective remuneration for his magnauimous puissance; He lastly that once greatly honoured Wales is now himselfe,' greatly honoured by the same. To memorise any man, signifies not only the gcnerall goed opinion and aifection towards the same person but likewise declares his deserving vertues. Among the Greeks it was called a worthy thing to be solemnized after death The Romans likewise acknowledged it to be gloriosum quid," a glorious thing to celebrate any day to the Honour of the (lead. And I ingenuosly confesse I cannot but highly extoll the indulgent sedulity of "L? Welchmen in re- membering their Saint with such annuall devotion. Polemon when he dyed at Athens was once in three years honouied with a solemn celebration and that was acknowledged to be a most famous deed. It was likewise ac- counted an eminent act when Caaiodou.rs [(1. A.D. 502] was twice rememhrei, solemnly after his Funerail. But neither of these can be reputed to be so glorious as that of S. David for his day is not only once every year duly observed to the memory of his immortall Fame; but successively cojitinueth without any praetermission. Yet one thing I cannot omit, viz., their custome in wearing a green Leek in their hats on that day likewise: And here (Gentle Reader)give me leave to expatiate ve.yjeli a wh'le to r-va whether I can scrutably and in a credible probability se: eh out the meaning and cause of the same Some report that they wear this Leek because of their generall affection unto it others affirm the cause to be because of the numerous multitude of Leekes that grow in their [country ?]: but either of these are fallible; for it is more credibly declared that S. David when hee always went into the field in Martiall exercise he carried a Leek with him and once being almost faint to death, he immediately remembred himself of the Leek and by that means not only preserved his life but also became victorious hence is the Mytho- logie of the Leek derived, and hence it was that they ever since continued respectively the investigation of the same to the sempiternal Honour of their Champion St. David. There is also a common Proverb in Wales that St. David is as bright as the Moon yet I confesse I have oftentimes presumed to wonder at their similitude in comparing him to the Moon, unless be the cause thereof that the Moon was made of green cheese at whose bright splendor perhaps they may have the enrtesie to taste it. But be more clement Reader whosoever thou beest and think not that I speak this in a ludibrious jeer or abuse to the countrie for I speak altogether in praise and commendation of it yet howsoever according to the Poet. Interpone tuis interdum gaudia curis If I have been barren in expression for the honour of St. David, yon must excuse the brevitie of time wherein it was composed and what remains I will consummate in a merry Hymn or i'anygerick Come quaffe off your Sherry and let us be Merry All you that look to be saved Then tosse of your bowles and be merry souls For this is the day of St. David This is a good week when we wear a Leek And carouse in Bacchus fountains We had better be here then in poor small beer Or in our country Mountains Then be merry boyes and leave off your toyes And care not for drossie wealth We'll swagger in Sack till our purse-strings crack To St. David lie drink a health Let those that are civill, now go to the Devill Let us be as busie as Bees; Those Rebels we'l beat that offer to eat Our Leeke or tosted cheese +: -). Drink yon to him till both your brains swim In this Nectarian Liquor Let him drink to me and Ile drink to thee Twill make all our tongues run the quicker. Come cast away grief we need no relief We'll drink we'll be merry and play We'll sing and we'll laugh we'll our liquor quaff For this is St. David's day Finis. PUGH OF CWM RHAIDR (Mar. 28, 1877).- There was a family of the name of ap Hugh or Pugh, of Cwm llhaidr, about the commencement of the 17th century, but they were of a different line from the Pughes of Mathavara. and were descended from Athelstan Glod- rydd.

MR. HANBURY TRACY AND MR. OSBORNE MORGAN ON PARLIAMENTARY REPORTING. In the House of Commons on Fl'h1:ty, April 20, Mr. H. TRACY rose to call attention to tiie inconvenience of the present system of Parliamentary reporting, awl to move— "Thlt a select committee be appointed to consider the ex- pediency of providing official reports of the debates of this House." He said the present system of reporting was in two I ways—1st, newspaper reports, which were abridged according to the space at disposal; and secondly, the more detailed reports of Hansard's Debates," which did not appear until some time afterwards. He thought the time had arrived when they should have an official verbatim report of the debates, instead of allow- ing them to continue to lie recorded in a haphazard way but he did not vrish to discourage the present system of reporting bv private enterprise, as was done in some countries in which there was an official report of the debates. He would supplement the reports with something that 1 tend to bring the newspapers up to a higher standard. No doubt if the papers had space for a full Parliamentary report, as they formerly had, an official report would not be required, but that was not the case. Newspapers were commercial undertakings, and had to face fierce competition, •and to look about them to see what would pay best; and it was found by editors that sen- sational news, personal matters, and telegrams paid far better than Parliamentary reports. Two years ago it was stated in a leading article in the Daily Kerns that the speeches of leading- statesmen on both sides were reported, and might be said to be fully reported, on all occasions when the l:ttcncS3 of the hour did'not render such a report impossible; but that all ordinary members found that, except on remarkable occasions, their speeches were compressed into mere summaries that debates of great interest were often summarised in a few lines, and that this was unavoidable, as no London paper could exist which inflicted upon its readers full reports every morning of the proceedings in Parliament. (Hear, hear,' and laughter.) This was clearly an acknowledgment on the part of the penny papers that they could not as a commercial matter report the debates in full. Neither had the readers of papers, in these days of express speed, the time to give, as they had formerly, to a calm perusal of long reports. The lion, member went on to urge that as a record of the proceedings of Parliament, as a means of political education to the people, and as affording trustworthy information 011 which speakers and writers could base their criticism of Parliament, an official verbatim report, published within two days, was now necessary. III America copies of the official report were given to senators and members of the House of Representatives for distribution among the neople; but he hoped that if the official system were adopted here, unspoken speeches would not be printed as they were in the United States. (Hear, hear.) In the colonies the official report was, out of compliment to our Hansard, called "The Colonial Hansard." (Hear.) In France the general principle was to have official reports, which any one throughout the country might obtain within a very limited time, and so become acquainted with the proceedings of Parliament. The sys- tem was adopted in Austria and Germany, and lately in the Turkish Parliament. (Laughter.) He knew of many in this country where clubs and societies of various kinds had been most anxious to obtain reports of the proceedings of that House, but they had been unable to obtain them. Surely, regarded from a purely elluc;ttion:1.1 point of iew, it was of the 11¿1110-,t importance that those clubs, political and social, should have the means of beingthe focus to disseminate political education. Then as to the necessity of having full reports of debates to which members could refer for guidance in future legislation, the inconveniences of the present system were so .veil known that he need hardly dwell upon that point. He was told that one rid1t hon. gentleman, who oceupjerl a prominent position in that House, had been put to the trouble of spending two solid hours in correcting one hour's speech. yet to Ministers the present system was not, perhaps, so inconvenient. The speeches of Ministers were generally very elaborately reported, but ordi- nary members were very often irritated, and by no means felt in a pleasant train of mind, when, on the following day, they saw the report of their speeches in the papers. (Laughter.) The inconvenience had been very mm-h aggravated of late years. In former days the speaking in that Houe was said to' have been confined to 150 members, but he found that from 1841 to 187G the number of members who took a bona fide part in the proceedings of that House had increased from 231 to 3S5. A number of members were now put to considerable expense in getting special reports of their speeches, and the result of this system was that while in many local papers the speech of the local member occupied three columns that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was given in twenty lines, and verv curious com- parisons were drawn in consequence. (Laughter.) Nor did the evil stop there. He had been assured by entlem"n of ]I; standing that the incomplete reports which were sent out to the colonies led people there to indulge in unpleasant remarks about the poor sticks our Ministers were in answering colonial ques- tions. (Laughter.) In illustration of the manner in which, he said, the daily press reported proceedings in Parliament he had extracted a few statistics from the papers. On February 20 a debate took place in the House of Lords on the Eastern Question, which occupied seven hours. The Times gave HS,900 words, and assuming the rate of speaking was that at which the right hon gentleman, the member for Greenwich, was supposed to speak, namely, 120 words a minute-(much laughter, in which :Ill'. Gladstone, heartily joined)-thc actual number of wonls whidl a verbatim report would have taken was 50,000. The Standard gave 27,000 words, the Telegraph 29,000, and the Daily Xcws 25,000. Upon the next day, February 21, there was a debate in that House upon a very dry subject, and the Times gave 10,000 words, the Standard 8,000, the Telegraph 2,600, aller the Daily Nezti,, 3,000 words. He mentioned this to show that if the mat- ter were dry and apparently uninteresting, the records of Par- liament were practically nil; but if it were sensational, and of great interest throughout the world, a very full report was given. (Hear, hear.) He maintained, however, that there ought to be a record not only of sensational, but also of dry and uninteresting matter. (Hear, hear.) One blot upon the present system was that the reports of the deliberations of Committee of the whole House were so scantily reported that nmchvaluable information was missed. Owing to the early hour in the morn- ing at which the newspapers were dispatched to the country, speeches made after 11 or 12 o'clock did not get into the daily papers, and this fact accounted for many of the motions for adjournment that were now made. There were two courses open to the House in this matter. One was to subsidise largely private enterprise and have special reporters in the gallery and the other was to have official reports. He believed there was a strong feeling in the House against the adoption of the former plan, but as regarded official reports he understood there was a strong feeling in favour of such a system. (Hear, hear.) The staff that would be required would be a director and about six reporters, with an equal number of writers, and he estimated that the relH)ltln and printing would cost about ,-CU.ooO or gl-¡ ClCO a vear. The official reporter might bo accommodated with a seat either at the end of the table, or at the bar of the House. It was objected to this plan that it was an attempt to dis- establish Mr. Hansard. No one reco/raized more fully than he tho able way in which Mr. Hansard had mid or great'difficulty cündnete(1 his work, and he should lie sorry to do anvtitiwT which would have that effect. Bat having written to Mr. Han- sard on the subject, he had received from that gentleman a reply stating that lie had for some years been of opinion that official reports of the debates in the Imperial Parliament were becoming more amI more a necessity, though he was not insensible to the effect which such a "change would have upon his own position, but Parliament he trusted would lie careful to do him no wrong. As regarded the question of cxpe19se, lie reminded the House that in 1850 Mr. Cobdeii, who was :t great economist, thought that no objection 011 that ground ought to be urged against such a proposal as he now made. As to the old objection that verbatim reports would encourage talking, he might quote the answer to that given him by a gentleman who sometimes spoke at considerable length— (a laugh, and cries of Name")—who said, Don't you believe it if you had verbatim reports you would, find lion, members would'no longer talk nonsense—(laughter)—and a gieat many members would think deeply before they spoke." It would be found on calculation that the bulk of Hansard" would not be inordinately increased by the publication of speeches in verbatim form, and as to the allegation that this was an un- English proposal, he maintained that if it facilitated business it would not be un-Englisli. (Hear, hear). In the course of the debate Mr. Gladstone said he believed that whatever might be thought of that proposal, the House would agree with him that they were much indebted to the hon. member (Mr. Hanbury Tracy) for his speech, which ex- hibited much thought and great ability, and also showed that he had carefully investigated that subject. Mr. O. MORGAN said the Chancellor of the Exchequer pointed out the difficulties in the way of carrying out the intentions of his hon. friend, but surely those were just the difficulties which a select committee would solve. In was an important point in favour of the view of his hon. friend that there was not a single assembly in Europe, and, as far as lie knew, in the whole world, Turkey itself not excepted, which did not possess, he would not say an authentic, but an official, record of the speeches made in- side its walls. No doubt, it was painful to find one's pet argu- ments boiled down in the morning papers to the length of one's thumb but, as a general rule, he expressed his admiration of the reports which the papers gave of the speeches made in that House. He was thankful for what they reported and for what they did not report. It would be one of the greatest misfortunes to some members to have their speeches reported verbatim. (Hear.) The newspapers dealt with this question upon purely commercial principles. They reported what paid then.. Some- thing had been said about the expense of official reporting, but when they came to consider the enormous stationer's billwhich they paid, and which he had just been told amounted to £ 160,000 a year, the £ 10,000. or, it might be, the L14,000, which would be required to have an official record of their proceedings was, as it were, nothing in comparison. Official records were the history of a country for the time being. Lord \Y"1.1' when asked his opinion about printing proceedings in Chancery, said, "Print by all means, for you will tind men will not print nonsense." The printing of pleadings in Chancery had greatly improved them. And their debates would be improved if thev were officially recorded. (Hear.) He hoped his ho: friend, after having received so much support from the House, would press his motion to a division. "We give a summary of the dehate in our paroamentary column.

WELSHPOOL AND LLANFAIR RAILWAY.—This unopposed Bill came on before the Chairman of Committees on Friday, the 20th April. Mr. Cripps, parliamentary agent, and Mr. Swettenham, the engineer, appeared for the promoters. :Uld were examined. His lordship reduced the number of directors from seven to five. The power to subscribe £ 2,000 towards the construction of a level road from Cyffronydd to Meifod Valley was allowed on the in- sertion of a clause that it should first be arranged to be maintained by the Highway Board of the (Iitriet. The proposed level crossing at the o. ■ • pool, was eventually allowed, although reported against by the Board of Trade. The estimated cost of a bridge and attendant works was stated to be £ 1,800, -,tad the traffic small. His lordship, on passing it, remarked that he was assuming a heavy responsibility. A SOLICITOR STRUCK OFF THE ROLLS.—111 the Common Pleas Division on Tuesday, April 17, Mr. Murray applied on behalf of the Law Society that a rule should be made abso- lute to strike Mr. Jas. Walker, solicitor, of Church Stretton, off the roll. The matter had been referred to the Master to inquire into the facts, a.nd he had come to the conclusion that two distinct charges were made out against Mr. Walker. One was that of misconduct in misappropriating £ 19 19s.. the amount of a legacy which he received in 1SG9 on behalf of Charlotte Williams, and the other that of having misappropriated £ 160 received on November 10th, 1874, from Mr. Roberts, a farmer, for the completion of the purchase from the Crown of a piece of land in Radnor- shire. It appeared, also, that whilst the Master had been carrying on his inquiry Mr. Walker had paid over both the £ 19~19s. and the 1:160. No one appeared to show cause. Mr. Justice Grove said he was of opinion that the rule. should be made absolute to strike Mr. Walker off l' the roll. The court was bound to visit such conduct with proper punishment, and to preserve the integrity and honour of the profession it was necessary that strict disci- pline should prevail in reference to the conduct of solici- tors towards their clients. A rule absolute was therefore decreed. Mr. Walker has addressed a letter to the Press, in which he says :—"The court appear to have been in- fluenced by the fact of my having made a settlement with the parties after the cases feLl into the hands of the Law Society, which was held to be an admission by me of my having misappropriated the moneys. Such settlements were, however, made without prejudice, and in good faith. In the case of the smaller sum, it was a matter between seven and eight years old (1809), and I had lost my evidence, confident, nevertheless, in my own mind, the business had been settled in the spring of 1S70, for since that period I had heard nothing. Acting under advice, I consented with the solicitor on the other side to leave the settlement to our respective London agents, and such was done. As to the larger amount, it was on the suggestion, if not re- commendation, of the Master himself the settlement was made. The money, being out at interest, was on such understanding at once obtained and paid over. The Law 30ciety knew of the intended settlements." BUSmESS ADDRESSES. AKEKYSTWYTH, GAS! W.
