The entries in the account book were in the handwriting of deceased who died fairly, well off. Jonathan Morgan, Llanelly, black- smith, said he was at home working with his father in 1892 and continued to do so until May, 1900.

He kept a shop and deceased used to deal there. The entries in the diaries, which were the only accountf books kept by' him, were in defendant's and his daughter's handwriting. He stacked hay in deceased's haggard. The rent was paid annually when they used to settio up accounts. In November, 1898, he told deceased that he had an inclination to go to Glamorganshire to work and should like tio settle about the rent and sell the ha\^ the deceased saying they would then scratch backs."—Thomas Thomas, Half Way House, Oapel Evan, said he had a conversation with deceased who told him that; he had bought the hav from defendant- to settle for the rent*.—Edward Edwards, Capel Evan, saki ne saw the last load of hay* going from the haggard and deceased told him "I have now rubbed backs with John Davies.

Mr Davies belonged to one of the oldest, best known, and most respected families in the district. He was of a peaceful and cheerful disposition, always brimming over with kindliness and good nature, and he held a high place in the estimation of his neigh- bours. He was a great reader of Welsh poetry, being especially fond of Evan Thomas Rhys, Crwth Dyffryn Clettwr, and Daniel Ddu. He had a remarkable memory, in which was treasured up a store of interesting anecdotes of the old characters of the dis- trict. He was buried on Thursday morning in Bwlchyfadfa Grounds. The Rev Thomas Lloyd, curate, officiated at the house, and the Rev E 0 Jenkins, minister, at the chapel and graveside. The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in the district.

There was no gun with them now, and when he asked Parry if he had anything he replied "No," but on searching him he found a pheasant newly killed. in his pocket. The officer produced the bird.—Cross-examined by Mr Garth Jones, witness admitted that de- fendant offered no objection tlo be searched.

The Portmadoc Fire Brigade was sent for, but unfortunately the wharfwas too far away from the fire hydrants and the weak foroe of the water brought tobear instead of extingushing seemed to give the flames greater activity. It was like squirting water on burning oil. The scuttling of the vessel also proved ineffectual for many hours owing to the state of the tide, the fire which com- the state of the tide, the fire which com- menced early in the afternoon blazing away through the fore hatch about six o clock in ..r..1.. in a mnnrtftr reminding one of viie IAX « — 8 vessel was completely submerged b- the tide, but when it ebbeid away it was found. that the outbreak was not yet extinguished and later on flames onoo more burst forth.

W Hughes, Messrs R Barnett, clerk: Richard Edwards inspector; and Dr Hugh Jones, medical offioer. Isolation Hospital. Mr W. R. Williams presented the report of a committee appointed to inquire for a suitable site for an isolation hospital. They considered that Ffr.-dlwyn was a suit- able site and probably could be easily ob- tained as it was county property. He was quite familiar with the place when the gaol was there but not as a prisoner. (Laughter.) He knew that the water supply came from a different sour-ce which supplied other houses. —The Chairman thought that Mr Williams -1' .L. .1.1"to .ra. C" had mane a misiaivt; ius LIU wre —Replying to Mr Griffith Owen, the Cierk said the committee had been appointed to inquire as to a site. Mr Edward Griffith had intimated his readiness to d'spose of an- other site for the purpose.—Mr Allen did not think that parents would be likely to send their children to the hospital, but Mr W R Williams said he knew of cases where patients had been compulsorily removed. The Chairman said it was a question which could boa: met by the byelaws.—Mr Allen thought it was important that an irolation hospital should be erected for all infectious diseases.—The Medical Officer reported that there was a lull in the scarlet ever epidemic. What was important was that some provision should be made, although it was more desir- able that provision should 'be made for all infectious oases. If they had provision to deal with emergencies, it would prevent the infection from extending as had happened lately. At present the Council had no pro- vision whatever, not even a disinfecting ap- paratus. All he pressed for was a provision for general oases.Mr James Lewis not think there had been more than three cases of small pox during the past fiftv years and the Clerk thought that small pox was quite exceptional in the neighbourhood.—Mr James Lewis suggested that a few of the neighbouring parishes should be asked to join in the scheme, wherupon the Medical Officer said it might be advisable to consider the ex- tension of the Council's boundaries.—On the proposition of Mr James Lewis seconded by Mr Griffith Owen, it was agreed to ask Mr. T;¡"1!r1 (h.íffit.h ffvr nf thA FVirJi-l belonging to him. r- U Compensation.
