Dear sir, —I visited .Tregaron on Saturday, and was sur- prised to find that so little progress had been made with the workhouse since I was there last March. I shall have to report this to the Local Government Board, and in the meantime I hope the Guardians vrill at once set about in earnest to get the building completed and handed over to them. The plastering should be proceeded with forthwith. It is high time that you should be having the house occupied, and for the last three months nothing SEEMS to have been done. With regard to furnishing you should, I think, unless the guardians are willing to do this themselves, get per- mission to visit Machynlleth workhouse, and see what things are required, taking an inventory of the same for the information of the guardians. I should be glad to iiear that there is a chance of the building being shortly handed ovei-A,Li-. Dewi Williams was called in and said that there had been great difficulty in getting plasterers, and that the delay was altogether owing- tn the plastering. Now, however, the men were at work and the building would be proceeded with most vigorously, and they would be able to hand the building over to the Guardians in about a month.—The Clerk of the Works also attended the Board, and said that the water mt, le a J set at one .particular place, and would soon have the house down.—The Guardians went to inspect the site. Hif/iimtff Si'.rre.ffor.—It was stated that Mr. Thomas Davies, the road surveyor of the Upper Highway District, had died on the previous Saturday.

I have been enquiring which is the best way to go there; and a friend thinks that it would be to go from here to London and meet the railway to Bristol, and he thinks there is no doubt there are coaches from Aberystwyth to Bristol; but as I should not like to go unless I was certain, I thought I would ask vou to have the kindness to ascertain this for me, and if you can kindly let me have any information as to the best way of goiiig from London to Aberystwyth you will much oblige me for those railroads put all roads out of the way. I want to go in the cheapest way possible, and if the air agrees with my son, on whose account I am going, he may make a long stay amoncst you. I am sorry to give you HO much trouble, but I feel sure you will excuse all the trouble I have given you in thus availing of your kind offer. Our present intention is to leave Cambridge on Thursday the 8th either Friday or Saturday, to be in Aber- ystwyth, I should hope, the first day, and only have to sleep one night on the road. My son desires to be remembered. I hope your neighbour is quite well.—Yours truly, W. N. [When you mention if there are coaches, perhaps you will also oblige me by telling me which days they go, and prices, &c. Is there t ;be a coach from Aberystwyth to Derby, or to Worcester, to either I of those places I can get in one day ?] INQUEST.—On Friday evening, July 20, an inquest was held at The oiiop, Penparkau, before J. M. Davies, Esq., coroner, into the death of John Jenkins, whose death and its attendant circumstances was reported last week. The jury consisted of Messrs. John Jones, Piccadilly, Thomas Davies, John Evans, Llanbadarn, William Jones, and Jenkin Davies, Penparkau, Thomas Royle, Cvvinllolwen, John Owen. Edward Evans, Penparkau, John Davies, and John Jones, South Gate. The jury having gone to see the site of the accident, a witness was called. He stated that on the 18th July, at half-past six o'clock in J.1- _u ..L1 1- _1 1_ T ulie morning', lie went into tiie nouse occupieu oy UONII Jenkins. He then noticed that the pine end of the house had fallen upon the old man as he lay in his bed. He was dead when witness looked in, and he considered the fall of the mud wall had been the cause of death. The house was not iu a ift state for habitation. He did not consider the landlord of the house to blame, as he had requested the deceased to quit. He had not paid rent for many years. The I-)e(I upon which deceased lay consisted of loose straw kept in place by four boards, the straw being covered over with, a blanket. He was tolerably comfort- able, as. some charitable pedple living at Aberystwyth had given him clothes. The deceased lived upon charity en- tirely, receiving 3s. 6d. a week from the C-. ua-rdians. The props on the outside were placed in the position they oc- cupied last year. After consultation, the jury found that the deceased came by his death by the falling upon him of a piece of mud wall whilst he was lying in bed. COUNTY COURT, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18.—Before Sergeant Tindal Atkinson. Truseott v. Jonc8.l'he Judge gave a verdict for the full amount, 21 16s. in ths case brought by W. H. Trus- cott, watchmaker, Terrace-road, against Thomas Jones, Portland-lane, Aberystwyth.—Mr. Edgar Atwood ap- peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Griffith J ones for the de- fendant. New Trial.—A new trial was granted in the case brought by Mr. Bubb against the Rev. J. Jones, Llan- fihangel, late of Cellan Rectory, on an application by Mr. J. J. Atwood, defendant's solicitor. Welshpool was decided upon as the place of trial. Jury Case.—This was an action brought by Mr. John James, Railway Tea Warehouse, against Professor Nicholls, late of Llanbadarn, near Aberystwyth.—From Mr. Atwood's opening statement it appeared that on Jan. 20th, 1876, there was a settlement of accounts between Proiessor Nicholls and the plaintiff. At that time there was due to Mr. James the sum of jMt) 4s. 8d., for which sum defendant gave a three months' acceptance. Mr. Nicholls then gave Mr. James a large order for a friend, at the same time asking Mr. James to lend him T.' O. ATV. James, as he had done previously, lent defendant the £ 10. That was the sum in dispute. Mr. Nicholls con- tinued to deal with plaintiff down to the end of July, 1870, when there was due to Mr. James for goods £ 38 4s. Gi(l., making, with the £ 10, S48 4s. 6,1d. Defendant after- wards applied for another loan, when the plaintiff ans- wered that he (defendant) should live within his means. This gave defendant offence, and he withdrew his custom. Eventually he went to London, where plaintiff had a difficulty in finding him. A writ was issued for the full amount, £ 48 odd, the result of which was that the defen- dant paid into Court £37 odd, leaving the £ 10 due, ad- mitting in his pleadings the loan of the money, but adding that it had been paid.—Defendant's solicitor handed in a bill, which he said showed that on the very day the ac- ceptance was given a sum of 910 was lent, which the de- fendant alleged was included in the amount for which the acceptance was given.—The plaintiff was called by de- fendant's solicitor, and showed that credit was given in October 14th for £ 10, and credit given again for the same amount on January 20th, in error, consequently there was a credit given for E20, where only credit for tlO should have been given.—The Judge held that as the account had been settled on the 20th January, though in error it could not be re-ol)eiie(-I.-Tlie jury returned a verdict for the defendant. A Second Jury Case—Thomas [Edwards, shopkeeper, Llanafan, sued David Jones, carpenter, of the same place, to recover £ 9 10s. lid. for goods sold and delivered at Wenallt sales on the 12th of September and October 0th. —The defendant pleaded a set-off of S8 12s. for use and occupation of Wenallt from the 29tli September to 10th October, lS7(j, &c. Mr. Griffith Jones appeared for the plaintiff. Defendant was also legally represented.—The evidence of the plaintiff was taken, but the case was eventually adjourned for the presence of Mr. Robert Gardiner, estate agent. Alleged Breach, of Agreement.—Henry Dodd, railway shunter, Aberystwyth, sued Thomas Hine, at Nicholls and Owen's Slate Works, Carnarvon, for £ 7 10s., damages alleged to have been sustained in consequence of breach of agreement.—An agreement was produced, which Mr. Griffith Jones, who appeared for the defendant, said was not drawn up according to law and not properly stamped and an indenture was put in, which, again, Mr. Griffith Jones said was insufficiently stamped.—Mr. A. J. Hughes, who appeared for the plaintiff, said he knew the hand-writing of the person who prepared the documents, a person who had formerly been a lawyer's clerk. He (Mr. Hughes) thought the matter should be laid before the Incorporated Law Society. In fact, if the person who prepared the indenture did not pay the fine of stamp- ing, he (the speaker) would have to make representations in another quarter in the matter. John Jones, executor of Jenkin Jones v. William Williams, Surgeon. This was a case referred at the last court to Mr. David Lloyd, who reported that he had been unable to come to a decision. After some pleading the Judge declined to give judgment, and made a note that the case should be looked into at the next court. Alleged Damages. The plaint in this action was brought by W. H. Thomas, solicitor, executor, and trustee of the last will and the several codicils of Robert Edwards, deceased, against Elias Pugh and Catherine Pugh, his wife, labourer, Llanbadarn, to recover £ 10 14s. for damage alleged to have been done to a cottage once occupied by defendants, and fruit trees in a garden. Mr. Joseph Evans appeared for plaintiff Mr. Griffith J os for the defendants. The defendants' solicitor said there were no dates in the particulars, and therefore he could not sea whether it was or was not barred by the Statute of Limitations. His Honour held that the particulars should contain the dates, and adjourned the case. He also made an order, no costs leave to pay into court. The Mystery of Female Attire.—C. M. Williams sued Emma White, both of Aberystwyth, for the recovery of £ 1 0s. Id. for drapery goods supplied. His Honour, look- ing at the duplicate presented by the plaintiff, said Fif- teen yards of twill! What was that for?-Plaiiitiff A dress.—His Honour A dress Fifteen yards of twill, now that ladies wear their dresses so tight that they 3annot walk Fifteen yards around that young lady Ko it must be a mistake! (Laughter.)—Mr. Griffith Jones: Indeed, it runs up to eighteen yards sometimes. -4 (Laughter.)—His Honour Yes, when they wore hoops.— J Mr. Griffith Jones T remember a case in which E IGHTEEN yards were supplied for a lady's dress.—His Honour: That must have been when they wore hoops, which, when not used by the ladies, were used to keep chickens in. (Laughter.)—Mr. Griffith Jones: I remember it was said in the case that twelve yards was used in the smallest dress.—His Honour Let us hear what the young lady says. It is really a very serious thing for us men to talk about ladies' dresses.—After eliciting the fact that plain- tiff's wife supplied the goods, his Honour adjourned the case for the attendance of plaintiff's superior moiety (better half), and allowed defendant 2s. Gd" costs of the day. I'artnrrsl)ip ACCDunt, —lames George Green, ironfounder. Aberystwyth, and J. W. Thomas, solicitor v. David Hu>di Evans, merchant.—This was an action in which the plain- tiff demanded that an account of the partnership dealim.' between himself and defendant in connection with certain fields near Aberystwyth, be taken, that the affairs of the partnership be wound up, and that the partnership be dissolved under the order of the court.—The case was ad- journed by consent, in order that it might be referred.

"This school consists of 72 boys, the largest number, I believe, it has ever attained; and the teaching staff in- cludes, besides the Head Master, one graduate and four teachers. The majority of the boys do Latin, 13 Greek, and 13 French. All do Arithmetic and Mathematics. Great, attention is given to History, Geography, Map- Drawing, English Grammar, Book-Keeping, and Penman- ship. The same principle of thoroughness seems to me to run through the whole work of the school, and character- ises that of the younger boys no less than the senior ones. I was pleased to see in the list of the Cambridge Previous Examination for Easter Term, and which arrived on the day of the distribution of prizes, that Mr. George Evans of Trinity Hall, till April last, and for the previous three years pupil in this school, had passed first class in Classii. s and Mathematics, and also in the additional subjects for honours. Only one other out of 307 candidates passed in his first term, -a fact that speaks for itself. I have great pleasure in bearing testimony to the flourishing condition of this school, and feel sure that the boys have been taught patiently, perseveringly, and with conscientious thoroughness.—H. R. RODERICK, B.A., Exhibitioner of Jesus College, Oxford." The school re-opens on Monday, the 30th day of July.
