Why it is unflagged nobody seems to know. This piece of footpath is very muddy and it would be interesting to know why it is left in its present sttte. TERRACK-ROAD. — On the footpath near the entrance to Messrs Smith and Davies's office there is a loose flag. It is dangerous and inconvet lent.

DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE -On Monday evening a performance of "A Happy Pair" and His Last Leg*" was given by amateurs at the Royal Pier Pit i The reserved seats were fairly-well fi !d but the attendance in the first aud hecond feats was very meagre. The performance was organ z.d by Mr Lewis Pryse, Pantgwyn, who secured a large irr?ayure of success, and is to be congratulated 00 iiii perseverance and labour which oniy these know anything about who have attempted to organise amateur theatricals. LMr Hulley's Band from Swan- sea, which was in Aberystwyth on other engagements, was engaged for Monday evening and their excellent playing was much appreciated. Mr A. M. Seaton took the part of Mr Honeyton and Miss Beatrice Mervyn the part of Mrs Honey- too in the Happy Pair." Each made a capital representation and were loudly applauded at the drop of the curtain. In His Last Legs," the cast was—O'Callaghan, Mr Julian Charles, Mr Meyrick Hughes Rivers, Mr Lewis Pryse Dr Banks, Mr Seaton John, Mr Stanley Jones Mrs Montague, Miss Mervyn Julia, Miss Racaael Howell Mrs Banks, Mrs Lewis Pryse atd Thomas, Mr G. Loxdale. This piece,which is divided into two act and three scenes, was also well produced. The lion's share nf the acting fell on Mr Julian as O'Callaghan. O'Callaghan, as his came implies, was an Irishman, and Mr Julian was so perfect in reproducing the brogue that what he had to say was not always comprehensible. His acting, however, was distinctly good. Miss Mervyn as Mrs Montague was excellent in representation and distinct in utterance. Mr Lewis Pryse, Mr Meyrick Hughes, and Mr Seaton performed their important parts with great success and Miss Howell, Mrs Lewis Pryse, Mr Stanley Jones, and Mr G. Loxdale filled in their parts to the un- doubted approbation of the audience. The performances were repeated on Wednesday evening- LICENSING REFORM. Oa Wednesday evening a conference of people interested in temperance work was held at the Town Hall and was addressed by Mr Harvey, secretary of the Central Temperance Legislation Board, on Lord Peel's proposals for licensing reform. Archdeacon Protheroe presided and there were also present the Rev T. Levi, Rev Ambrose Jones, Rev Preuendary Williams, Messrs Daniel Thomas (secretary of the North Cardigan- shire Temperance Association), Peter Williams (late postmaster), T. H. Edwards, T. J. Samuel, C. M. Williams, R. Northey, T. Vaughan (relieving officer), Isaac Griffiths, William Thomas, T. W. Powell, the Rev T. E. Roberts, M.A., and others. In the course of his address, Mr HARVEY said that Lord Peel's main proposal was to carry out a very considerable reduction in the number of licensed houses. Seven years' notice would be given each licensee that at the end of that period their licences might or might not be renewed under the Act. At the same time, Lord Peel realized th t it would never do to wait seven years to have these public-houses closed. He therefore pro- posed to give a cash consideration or compensation to some of the licensees at the beginning of the term on the yearly ratable value before the seven years' notice expired. The Liverpool magistrates had a remarkable experience in the year 1899 During the past few years 304 licences had been removed, and the number of arrests for drunkenness had decreased by 8.000. The result was that it bad been found p' ssible to reduce the police force at a saviog of E8,000 a year. Another proposal by Lord Peel was to empower the licensing authority to make the hour of opening in the morning M r and the hour of closing at night earlier. Lord Peel was convinced of the benefits of the Sunday Closing Act in Wales, but they in England had not stomachs strong enough for the good things of Wales. Efforti were, how- ever, being made to extend the Sunday closing to Monmouthshire. It was proposed to close all public houses on election days. Elections could then be carried on in better order. He (Mr Harvey) did not know what the experience of Aberystwyth in grocers' licences was, but from what he gathered when obtaining evidence for the commission they were beyond doubt a source of great mischief. It wan therefore intended to abolish these licenses. Under Lord Peel's reform licensing authorities would be empowered to forbid the grants pf rxiu.,t;c and dancing licenses to public houses. Some tinie ago Lord Grey, rightly or- wrongly, wauted a he used house in a village on his estate, and a, chairman -if the licensing bench did not experience much difficulty in obtaining it. The house was worth £450, and on the Bext day a persn approached Lord Grey for the sale of the house at £ 9,500. The licensing authorities, he thought, required reconstituting, and it was pio- posed to elect a number of gentlemen who knew the district for which they would be elected thoroughly, to devote themselves entirely to iiceDsing questions. It was often the case! th tt licences were refused by a local licensing authority, but by appealing to Quarter Sessions their verdict was invariably quashed. Lord Peel therefore proposed to abolish the appeal to Quarter Sessions and give the Licens- ing Authority complete discretion in all kinds of licences. This authority would also be empowered to abolish in public-houses eide entrance. snugs, screens, partitions, and to enforce other conditions and restrictions. Persons who were interested in the liquor trade would be prevented from being clerks to the licens- ing authority. The police would be provided with legal assistance when prosecuting for breaches of the licensing laws, and in opposing the gnn t, transfer, or renewal of licences. A bona fide traveller could only be defined as such if he had trtvelled seven miles and was about to lodge or take a meal at the houae. Special inspectors in plain clothes would be appointed to assist the police in enforcing the licensing laws. The clubs in many of the towns were a source of mischief and in many cas-s a worse state of things existed in clubs than iu public houses. Lord Peel proposed that clubs should be registered and when applying for the licence, the applicant would have to make it perfectly clear to the Registrar that the Club was to be used for social and not for drinking pur- poses and no one under eighteen years of age would be entitled to be a member. The Rev T. Levi, Messrs C. M. Williams, Peter Williams, T. H. Edwards, and others spoke to the effect that if they could not have the whole loaf, they would accept the slice offered by Lord Peel's reform. It was agreed to hold a public meeting in the spring and to ask Dean Howell to attend. A vote of thanks to Mr Harvey ana the Chair- man concluded the proceedings. PRESENTATION TO THE REV. W. LL. FOOTMAN. On Wednesday evening after the children's service at Holy Trinity Church, a presentation of a gold watch was made to the Rev W. Ll. Foot. man, M.A., for over four years curate of the parish and now headmaster of S David's College School, Limpeter. The Rev Prebendary Williams presided and there were present amongst others the Rev T. E. J). Davies, curate, the Rev W. Ll. and Mrs Footman, Mr J. Denaton Perrott, Mr W. H. Colby and Mr J. Jenkin Jones (churchwardens), Mr Price, Crystal Palace, Mrs W. J. Watkins. Miss Watkins, Misj, Williams- Abergeldie, Mrs Harold Atword. Mrs Sheraton, Mrs Evans, Gogerddan Cottages, Miss Dunn, and others. The Rev Prebendary WILLIAMS, the vicar, said the meeting had been hastily summoned to take advantage of Mr Footman's presence in Aberyst- wyth to present him with a gold watch which had been subscribed for by members of Holy Trinity Church. They were all very glad to have hit genial presence again among them. During his four and a half years' curacy of that parish, he had found Mr Footman a most pleasant, willing, and able colleague. (Hear, hear.) Mr Gladstone once said that a town curate held about the most responsible position of anyone in the country. He had to be active, to visit the people, to lead the young, and to teach them on Sundays and week days— to set them an example of a pure Christian life. In all those respects Mr Footman did his duty. (Hear, hear.) He took especial interest in the young people of the parish. Being an athlete, he secured the interest and respect of the young men of the congregation, and having been t> acher before he came to Aberystwyth, he %-as able to instiuct the young in an exemplary manner, and the children's services during his time fl urianed exceedingly. (Bear, hear.) Mr COLBY said he supposed he had been selected all the taller and greyer of the two churchwardens to make the presentation—(laughter)—which, at any rate, he had great pleasure in doing. The watch which he handed over was a memento of four aad-a-half years' harmonious work in the parish. He congratulated Mr Footman on his appointment GO the headmastership of St David's College School, Lampeter, and on having secured a working partner. (Laughter and hear, hear.) The congre- gation of Holy Trinity wished him and his bride every happiness and success in their career at Lam- peter, (Hear, hear.) Mr J. JENKIN JONES said the presentation was made in the name of Holy Trinity Church, and he was sure Mr Footman would so regard it. During his stay at Aberystwyth, Mr Footman had put the funds of the Sunday School in a good position, and, what was more important, had worked up the membership from eighty to 190. (Hear, hear.) He wished Mr and Mrs Footman long life, happiness, and prosperity. (Hear, hear.) Mr J. D. PERROTT and Mr PRICE also spoke to the same effect. The Rev W. Ll. FOOTMAN, rising to acknowledge -he presentation, was cordially cheered. He said he was very grateful to them all for the kind things s,<.1 d t.mi ai.i ;or the handsome watch. When the matter was suggested to him, he suggested, as the baziar and other things were on hand, that the matter should be allowed to pass. The Vicar, how- ever, said the parishioners desired to present him with something on leaving, and he had nothing further to say though he felt that the pleasant memories of his stay at Abervstwyth and work among them would have been enough and quite satisfactory to him. The watch would be his constant companion and would many times a dy remind him of the happy times spent in that pariah. (Hear, hear.) Since h- came to Aberystwyth in 1896, thanks to the enthusiasm of the Vicar and his excellent church- wardens and generous parishioners, the chancel had been completed and provided with fine choir stalls aud practically paid for. When the foundation- stone of the chancel was laid in 1897, he tol l the Vicar that be did not see where the £2-100 was to come from. Tne Vicar, however, always took a hopeful view and now his hopes had been almost realized. (Hear, hear.) In addition to th,"t one of the churchwardens (Mr Colby) had generously provided a Church hail in which the Sunday School and other meetings were held. (dear, hear.) Iu that and other respects he congratulated the Vicar on his churchwardens. With their assistance, he hoped the small balance of debt would soon be wiped off and the church completed by the addition of a tower with a fine Deal of bells. (Cheeis.) The Vicar then pronounced the benediction and the meeting separated. MAYOR'S TREAT TO THE WORK- HOUSE INMATES, On Wednesday the Mayor and Mayoress (Councillor and Mrs R. J. Jones) invited all the inmates of the Workhouse to a capital tea of cake, biscuits, and delicacies. About forty sat down to tea. The inmates of the sick ward were not for- gotten, but were given jellies and other suitable luxuries. Tobacco was also provided for the men and sweets for the women and children. His Wor- ship and Mrs Jones were present from four iu th", afternoon till light in the evening and with Mr and Mr" Jones, the master and matron, saw that tho, excellent artangements which had been made were carried out to the satisfaction of all concerned and particularly the inmates who appeared to be delighted. They were assisted by Mrs Evan Hugh James, Councillor G. Fossett Roberts, Councillor and Mrs J. T. Davies, Councillor T. E. Salmon, Mr Hugh Iltighes, vice-chairman of the Board of Guardians, and Mrs Hughes, Miss Wynne. Miss Knight, Miss Stott, Mrs Jenkin Jones, Miss Annie Evans, Nurse Evans, Master Tom Jones, Miss M-ary Roderick, aud others. The Mayor had in- vited his colleagues on t'he Town Council Yith their wives who acc-pted but were unable to be present from vai 'oua causis. After tea, the 8 >ard Room was cleared in order to give therein an entertainment for the immates. The Mayor presided and in a brief address ished the inmates a happy new year, remarking that it gave him one of the greatest pleasures of his year of office to be able to give them the day's entertainment. The entertainment consistsd of exhibitions of lantern slides by Mr D. J. Lewis, Gr at- Darkgate-street, of reproductions of songs, ctc., by the gramaphone kindly lent by Mr Wheately, Music warehouse, Terrace-road; mandoline solo hy Miss Doughton, accompanied by Mics D. R.

C Davies; Miss Lizzie Williams; Mr J. Arthur Hughes, and Miss Warrington. Mr Hugh Hughes, as on former occasions, superintended the musical portion of the entertainment with great success. Mr Maldwyn Humphreys attended during the evening and greatly delighted the audience hV ingin¡{ Mentra Gwen." At the close of the entertainment a cardial vote of thanks was accorded the Mayor and Mayoress for their thoughtful kindness to the Master and Matron for the trouble they had taken to Mr Hugh Hughes and all others who had taken p*rt tu the programme, and tin- pro- ceedings were brought to a close by singing the National Aniliem.

NOTES FROM A BERATRON, There is grave fear for the safety of THE P.S. Franklyn," which left P«-narth Dock for Malta on the 11th December. Mr J. O.

Lloyd Lt" is chemist, of this town, who a< been for some yeara a medical student. in London, is one of the victims of the small pox in L'-odou. HD was t-ken ill last Saturday. Mr Lewis (tas at home during Christmas week. The prayer mef ting-s occupying every evedng in the fi,st char week in the year, firt organ zrd by the Evangelical Alliance in 1846, are ob..r,d in all the chapel- in the t,wti. Until the vpli; oc- casioned by the authorities of the Peniel Congre- .giuionn.l Church in September last, the C-ugre- ioLalist, Wesleyans, Methodists, ar.d Baptists jJineJ toget-Ser and held tie meetings unitedly iu t"tir respective chapels on consecutive nights. The Peniel Authorities, when they refused to pray with the Methodists in Septem- her last, elected to retain their fusion with the VVealr-yans and Baptists and took measures to maintain the union with them on that occasion. It is understood that they made similar arrange- m'nts for these meetings, but the Baptists and Wesleyans, having had time to gauge the situation, now decided to withdraw from the mutilated union, and they have held their meetings this week aput. A pha fesur "y mesuroch yr adfesurir i chwithau It is far easier to pull down than to build up. It is sincerely to be hoped that eaco congregation found its way to God, which is the essence of worship. Worship does iao, con- sist in great demonstrations and popular assem- blies. The time may however come, and come soon, when it would be desirable if the Congreg^tionalists had not so carelessly withdrawn thii bridge of intercommunication. The main interests of all free churches are identical. Even a bare larch pole, without a hand rail, across the river would be the means of crossing and would be very valuable in an emergency. It is remarkable how much bitterer are the words of Mr J. C. Jones than the man. At the last meeting of the Board of Guardians he accused Mr T David-, Gump ton House, of telling a lie and afterwards ungraciously withdrew the ex- pression, for he said that he still thought the same thing That is not Mr J. C. Jones at all, and on Wednesday it wa. not a heroic occasion. There was no extraordinary heat and no ;,ote of fi. rce combat. The Guardians looked on without at trith, and the two combatants were not excited or alarmed, and did not seem to mean the words or resent them, as readers might expect who peruse the report in another column. Two quite opposite views are taken of what should be done with a man named Rogers, who has .just come to occupy a cot at Cilcennin. He has been a soldier, and has lost his discharges in a shipwreck. The Guardians at a previous meeting had resolved to offer him the House. At the last meeting a letter was read from Major Lewes • f Tyglyn Aeron, who resides in the parish of Cilcennin, pleading for temporary out relief for the man. Mr T. Davies warnly upheld this view and proposed four shillings a week for tour weeks. He said that the man had fought for his country and deserved" samet hing," whilst dozens of people who had done nothing for their country, for their kinsmen, or for themselves, were relieved handsomely.—Mr J. M Jonss, chairman of the Board and guardian for the pariah of Cilcennin, said that if they knew Rogers as he knew him tney would not grant him one penny. That settled the case. The letter of the Local Government Board to Dr Williams, touching the complaints made by the Guardians of his treatment of Sarah Evans of Monachdy Lodgi,, and of Anne Davies of Cribin was read at the last meeting of Guardians, and will be seen in another column. On New Year's nght a Christmas tree entertain- ment was given at the As embly Room, by the authorities of Trinity Church, in aid of the National School. There was a large and animated attend- ance of young people. Tile Vicar and Mrs Gr ffith took an active pirt in the managenent, and Mr and Mrs Munro Huh':i\ were conspicuous in their efforts to promote the success of the undertaking, as they unflinchingly are. Mrs Davies, London House, and Mr and Mrs B. C. Jones were also un- tiring workers. A satisfactory sum was realized. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, WEDNESDAY JANU- ARY 8TH.-Before Mr J. M. Jones (chairman), Mr A. Lloyd Rees, vice-chairman Mrs Bennet Jones and Mrs Griffiths, Abera/ron Messrs J. Davies, Llansilio: T. Jonathan, Ciliau Aeron United J. W. Davies, Cydplwyf United J.

The Master reported that on Christmas D.,y the usual Christmas dinner was given by the Guardians and gave a list of ladies and gen'lemen who had sent presents. Vote ej Condolence.—Mr J. C. Jones proposed that they sympathise with Mr A. Lloyd Rees, a colleague, consequent on the death of his only son aud child, aged seven years.—The motion was seconded by Mr J. W. Davies and adopted. Not Passed.-A proposition by Mr J, W. Davies that the list of paupers be again printed on large posters for the information of all the people was not pa-sed. Medical Reports. -The reports of'Messrs Edward Williams and T. Evans, medical officers, respect- ing lunatic paupers and foster children were pre- sented, and contained no special features. A Letter from Major Lewes: A Scene.-Major Lewes wrote a letter which was read, in which he hoped the Guardians would re.conaider the case of Rogere, who resides with his family in a cot near Rhiwl is. It had been decided to off r him the house but he was unfit to be moved except in an ambulance.—Mr T. Davies said Rogers had been a soldier and had fought for his country. It was quite a pity to draw a hard and fast line in this man's case, whatever he was, for worthless people were being maintained by them oftentimes.—Mr J. Williams seconded.—Mr J. C. Jones protested against revising the previous resolution of the Board. They had it that he could be removed on the author'iy of the Medical Officer.-Mr T. Dadef' fiaiti that the nature of his complaint rendered nec -ssaty th. frequent application of medical skill and he v as not surprised that the Medical Om er wanted him down at the house.— Mr J. C. Jones said that it was Dr Davies who reported that he was movable. What Mr Davies said amounted to a falsehood (celwydd).-Mr T. Davies ,aid in that case Dr Davies was Dr Williams's locum tenens and Dr Davies'a report was Dr Williams's report. He would not imitate Mr Jones's language, but he asked the Chairman to call on Mr Jones to withdraw his imputation.— Mr J. C. Jones said that it tke Chairman called him to withdraw he would withdraw.—The Chair- man I call you to do so.—M r J. C. Jones I do so, but think the stine.The Chairman said that if they knew this Rogers, as he knew him, the Board would adhere to its previous resolution, and would not grant a peuny of otit-relief.-A vote was taken, with the result that the previous decision of the Board was upheld and the houso was again olTcred and the use of an ambulance. DR WILLIAMS'S CASE. The Chairman having left the Board, Mr J, C Jones was a»ked t.) take the chair. The Chairman read the following letter fr m the Local Government Board to Dr Williams in reply to a communication 'forwarded to that Board by the Guardians, previously reported. Copy ;_h Local Government Board, 45b January, 1902. Sir,— I am directed by the Local Government Board to''acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 7th ult. with reference to your proceedings ai medical officei of the Llaosantffread district of the Aberayron Union in the cases ef Sarah Evans and Ann Davies. > In reply, the Board direct IDe to point out that iooking to previous complaints, it is most necessary that every care shou'd be taken by you as to the manner in which you examine pauper patients, and as to ptacing the name of every such patient i,1 i proper manner in your Medical Relief Book, and further that it is your duty to revisit such cases when necessary, without I waiting for an order instructing you to do so. The Board, at the same time, direct me to state that they trust you will endeavour to work harmoniously with the Guardians in all matters connEcted with your duties as their Medical Officer. The news- paper (:t?racts, which accompanied your letter, are return d herewith I am, sir, your obedient servant, W. F. Knol'yg, assistant, recretary." Mr J M. Howell va (i that upon every point raised by them ai cotistitutiniz a grievance in the manner nf the perf< rmaic:: by Dr WHIiims ot his duties in the consideration, that le t-r upheld their action. The language w s mild, but not OIDe bit the bs;, decsive for that. It S'âil tnat every care sho>?.M be taken as to iht; manner in which h", examined pauper paiient". That indicated plainly that the Local Government Board considered with I themselves that such care was net exercised in examining Sarah Evans. Again that letter said that every care should be taken to place the name of every such patient in a proper manner in the medical relief book. That obviously referred to the failure of Dr Williams to enter the name of Anu Davies in his relief book. The letter said that it was his Dr Williams's duty to revisit such cases, &c.. &c. That meant that bec-.iuse he bad not visited Anne Davies for a long tim> he had not done his duty. They were con- stantly employed In teaching Dr. Williams his duty, according to the Local Government Board's owu exposition. The Local Government Board, good nuturedly, advised Dr. Williams to work harmoniously nith the Guardians." Most whole- some and "pt ad vie-1. He had st at that table for many ye'Hs and the infrequent; attendance of Dr Williams was sufficient proof that he had no desire to associate with th'm. At other Boards, the m dicai officers regularly -I attended the meetings r f the Boud of Guardians in pursuance of their official duty.—MrJ. C. Jonts: Pardon me, but. was the last resolution relating to attendance not to the effect that Dr Williams should attend when Srllt for ?--Mr J. M. Howell, continu- ing said that, eece a resolution was parsed calling upm both medicil officers to attend regularly. Afterwards it was thought too arbitrary to insist up- on constant a tendance. But every action the Board had takn and every resolution they had passed indicated an uumis akeable desire that their medical officers should at'end as frequently as their other duties allowed them to do to. But Dr Williams, who lived within a stone's thr w of the Workhouse, rarely at- tended unless sent for, and he refused to believe that his private practice so far engrossed his duties as to leave him without an odd half hour to identify himself with his public duties as Medical Officer of the Llansantffread District, and with them theGuardians, to whom the ratepayers had entrusted duties of administering the Poor Laws. There was one very curious feature in the letter of the Local Government Board. It referred to correspondence which had passed between Dr Williams and the Local Government Board. Now on the last occasion when they complained to the Local Government Board of Dr Williams, the Local Government Board forwarded to them all Dr Williams's c..mmunications and asked for their observations thereon. Why did not the Local Government Board send them Dr Williams's letter now ? Did the contents of that letter throw some light on the advice to Dr Williams to endeavour to work harmoniously with the Guardians, In any case, he should like'to see Dr Williams's letters. They had taken the Local Government Board fully into their confidence. They had dealt openly and squarely with Dr Williams and with the Local Government Board. They concealed nothing, and they ought to do nothing as if by stealth. He therefore thought it was fair to ask the Local Government Board for a copy of Dr Williams's communication to the Local Government Board in this matter. They (the Guarditns) had not passed their judg- ment on Dr Williams in respect of tne present complaints, and before they did so it would be of assistance to havehis communications WiLh the Local Government Board before them. He did not think thaV the Local Government Board would fail to oblige them. In making the application it behoved them to refer the Locd.1 Government Board to their mode tif procedure in the Cil- cennin case. Before moving any further in the case he moved that an application for a copy of Dr Williams's communications to the Local Government Board be made.gr John Jones, Cwmere, seconded, and emphasized the opinion expressed" that the Medical Officers should attend the meetings of the Board.-Mr T. Davies supported the motion and said that Dr Williams's conduct as medical officer of the Urban District Council was in striking constrast to his couduct as medical officer of health. He was inform d that he sat out the meetings of :hat body where his remuneration was E20 per annum. He never attended the meetings of the Board of Guardians unless specially sent fo-, where his salary was more than threel times as much. Why ? Because in the Urban Council, unless he paid heed to their instructions they had power to dispense with his services at the end of the year, wheieas with them there was dual control. He was also much struck with the different mode of procedure adopted by the Local Government Board now and in the Cilcennin case. and he would wait with interest for the Local Government Board's reply.—The Chairman said he agreed with the motion and having put it to the meeting he declared it carried unanimously.

LLANILAR. PETTY SESSIONS, FRIDAY, JAMTARY 3RD.— Before Vaughan Davies, Esq., M P. (in the chair), Dr Hushes, E. A. L. Powell, D. C. Roberts, and Thomas Griffiths, Esqr. School Board Casei. -Catherine Morgan, Cae- newydd, Llanrbys'yd, was summoned by David Ellis, school attendance officer, for having neglected to send her child to school.—It was stated that the school had been closed since the last Sessions owing to the infectious disease and it having been then adjourned in order that the Bnch might see how t ie child would attend, it was again adjourned.— A similar summons against Evan Lloyd, Pancraf, Llanrhystyd, was adjourned because the summons was only served the day before. Sanitary Offences. -David James, tailor, Aberyst- wyth, was charged by James Hughes, inspector of the Aberystwyth Rural Council, with having a privy attached to his premises in such a state as to be a nuisance. —It being stated that the defendant was carrying out the necessary alteration, the case was adjourned.—William Williams, Felindre Mill, Llanrhystyd, was charged by James Hughes, inspector, with keeping two pigs on certain premises so as to be a nuisance.—Mr W. P. Owen, who appeared for the defendant, said the premises to which the pigstyo was attached had not been occupied since August.-Thp Inspector described the state of the place in July ai horrible.—The Chairman said the Inspector must prove that the pigs were there at the time the htuse was occupied. It appeared that when the pigs went there the people went out and vice versa. It was a right case to bring before the Court.—The case was dismissed. Husband and Wife. -By consent of both parties a separation was granted to Sarah Morgan, Pen- cwmmawr, against her husband, Henry Morgan.— Mr W. P. Owen appeared for the complainant and Mr Hugh Hughes for the defendant.

J ( £ orre £ ponb £ m:e. DEVELOPMENT OF AUTHOG AND FAIR BOURNE. SIR,—Will you kindly allow me to make one more correction of the report which appeared in your paper of what I bald at Arthog with reference to the drainage question. What I said was that the drainage of Friog and Arthog was a question of importance to us and that undoubtedly it was a question that would have to be faced in the near future I asked them to consider what this would mean in rates if the scheme had to be carried out by a district where the assessable value for such purpose was only a little over £ 2,000. Let them also bear in mind that Mr Andrews and Mr McDougall (I did not say that they would) would have a perfect right to call on them to provide an outlet to any further scheme of drainage they might carry out. —Yours, etc., C. ROBERTS. TOWYN STAGNANT. SIR,-In the months of June and July last there appeared to be some activity in the ranks of the progressists in favour of moving a part of the heavens and the whole of the earth in order to induce the War Office and the railway companies and all others concerned to arrange for the Volunteers to camp at Towyn in the months of May or June. The wise men appeared to take up the subject and so did those who were not considered wise. Doleful tales were told of the over work done by the inhabitants, by the farmers and their horses, especially on Sundays, and of the great extra strain thrown upon rail- ways. All these extras came when the before- named parties were fully employed by the great influx of visitors in August. There was a con. siderable amount of talk about rectifying matters in the near future and such was the agitation that the Urban District Council was actually moved to pass a resolution on the matter, which was written in the book of records with great solemnity. It is presumed that the time has not come yet to make known to the world the result of these doings. But the time is going on and summer and its many visitors will be here, it is to be feared, before anything effectual will be done to prevent the congestion of traffic which in summers gone by practically paralyzed the whole business of the place. There appears to be much pent-up energy in the town crying aloud as it were for something to do. There is certainly a wide field for the exercise of that energy. What happened several times before will happen again as sure as the volunteers come here in August and the same complaints will be heard, and the same vows of doing something before the following summers will be made and probably broken. But there may be yet time to avoid the experience of former years if energetic action is taken at once. The matter must be grasped resolutely if anything is to be done, but my hope to see such activity put in motion is as weak as my faith would be in a leaky boat five miles from shore on a stormy night.—Yours, miles from shore on a stormy night.—Yours, etc., DESPONDENT.

SHEEP WORRYING. There was a communication frr-rn the Board of Agriculture with regard to the method of dealing w ith the worrying of sheep by dogs. They pointed out that a gr,t deal could be dooe towards minimising this c"II under existing powers by co- operation between the police and local aathoritleS. The CHIFF CONSTABLE said oae dog had beeP destroyeci re<-en'!y. Alderman J M. HOWELL proposed thai th. police be instructed to do their utmost iu that mtter. There was no doubt that a. lot. f and eveu loss was caused to farmers by dog9 worrying sheep, but tbey were afra;d <.f taki'.g W3 steps for fear of b-ing visited by un(le-i,rable coO" sequenc's. The police, "e believed, w, uld be pet forming a re»l public service by being watchful 10 th*t matter. The CIIIKF CONSTABLE said the difficulty that the pore had no power to shoot the doss. was very difficult to get hold of and to recogniSO them afterwards.

Alderman J. M. HOWELL proposed that the be allowed to the men, inasmuch as the were quite outside their usual work, and entail considerable trouble. rt The proposition was agreed to and the report adopted.

After reporting the de& in the Aberyjtwyth ceils of the travelling t*o^e Richard Jackson, 81, and the difficulty of arrest the Llangranog case in c insequeDce of meagre formation, the Chief Constable stated that f David Davies, 16, resigned after a service fourteen years and was entitled to a pension of 138 lOd. He had removed P.C. Evan Lewis Aberystwyth to Lampeter and Evan Williams Lampeter to Llanddewibrefi and appointed pQ, Jones, N antcwnlIp., as cjnstable in the place of y f David Davies.
