Mr Harry Evans gave an interesting adjudication, and in awarding the prize to Mr Hum- phreys, said he had a very good voice of excellent quality and was very well man- aged. There was a good deal of colouring; he was never dull, and was occasionally beautifully soft. The song required great skill, and the singer had a good idea of its meaning. (Hear, hear.') Mr Humphreys won the bass solo, "Why do the nations," out of eighteen competitors at Llanfyllm Powys Eisteddfod on Friday, and with a duett, "Watchman!

Francis, chairman; John Edwards, vice- chairman; Mrs. M. Thomas, Messrs. Humphrey Jones, Edward Jones, E. M. Jones, John Evans, Owen Owens, Edward Hughes, Richard Hughes, John Hughes, John Edwards (Cemmaes); Lewis Lewis, Daniel Davies, T. Jenkins, David Evans, clerk; D. Morgan, assist- ant clerk; John Jones, master; Dr. A. O. Davies medical officer; and the re- lieving officers. The gowe.-A committee was appointed to report on the supply of broken stones to the Urban Council from the Workhouse and it was agreed to request the Urban Council to remove a portion of the stones already broken.—The Master reported the death of an inmate named David Davies, from Towvn. Mr. Edward Rees had officiated in the sick ward. During the month 289 vagrants were relieved, com- pared with 254 in the corresponding period.—Messrs E. M. Jones and Edward Jones were appointed to visit the House. The Present System.—The Guardians were asked to support a resolution dis- approving of the recommendations of the Poor Law Commission to abolish boards of guardians.—Mr. Humphrey Jones and Mrs. Thomas spoke in favour pf, retaining the present system as being more economical and efficient than a central body.—It was agreed, however, to take no action pending further information. Cost of Education.—With reference to the resolution passed by the Guardians at a previous meeting protesting against the increased county expenditure, a reply was received from Forden Guardians stat- ing that no action taken bv them would control the County Council. Llanfyllin Guardians did not arrive at any decision. Newtown and Llanidloes Guardians had passed a resolution protesting against what they considered the extraordinary expendi- ture in connection with education and asking that greater vigilance should be exercised. They asked the Machynlleth Guardians to pass a similar resolution and send it to the County Council.—The Assistant Clerk said the resolution was simply acknowledged by the County Council amid laughter.—On the proposi- tion of Mr Edward Jones, seconded >y Mr John Evans, a similar resolution was l passed, the Vice-Chairman say "We can let them laugh." RURAL COUNCIL, Mr. Edward Hughes. Mathafarn, presiding. Diphtheria.—The Sanitary Inspector (Mr Richard Williams) reported that three cases of diphtheria had occurred at Llan- brynmair) and one proved fatal. The only drain about the house was in good working order with a good water supply, and the surroundings and interior of the house were equal to the average of farm houses. Probably the cases were due to a previous outbreak.—On the Chairman's Sroposition, seconded by Mr. Richard [uglios (vice-chairman), a vote of con- dolence was passed with the Inspector, the outbreak having occurred in his house.— The Medical Officer (Dr Mathews) reported having examined the house and found it in a good sanitary state. He believed they had now seen the end of the outbreak at Llanbrynmair and the necessary improve- ments had been carried out. Road and 'Bridges. The Surveyor's estimate of £28 for the month was approved.—Aberystwyth Rural Council wrote that they had authorised the Surveyor to erect culverts near Cefn- gweiriog in conjunction with Machynlleth Rural Council.—Consideration of the pro- posed new bridges at Rhiwsaeson and Aberangell were further deferred pending negotiations with the county councils.— Communications were received from Corris Railway Company and Rhiwgwreiddyn Quarry Company suggesting a wider bridge instead of the footbridge at Esgairgeiliog; but Mr. Owen and the Chairman spoke against entertaining the idea of building an expensive bridge and the matter was deferred. Milk Selling. The Local Government Board wrote ask- ing what steps would be taken regarding the Medical Officer's report on the dairies and cowsheds and why the persons named were not registered?—The Clerk and In- spector were instructed to make inquiries. SALE OF DOLCARADOG. On Wednesday afternoon, before a large gathering, at the Wynnstav Hotel, Mach- ynlleth, Mr David Gillart (of Messrs. Gillart and Sons, auctioneers) oiferede for sale the Dolcaraaog estate, belonging to the late Mr. Edward Davies. a compact and valuable property lying on a slope in a capital situation about four miles from the town. The first lot offered con- sisted of the desirable holding known as Cleirie Isaf, adjacent to Dolcaradog, embracing an area of over 129 acres, in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Jones at a rental of JB48 a year. The second lot con- sisted of the ivy-clad residence (now in hand) known as Dolcaradog, with orna- mental trees and shrubbery in the fore- ground, overlooking a wide expanse of mountain and woodland and containing two reception rooms, five bed and dressing rooms, kitchen and domestic offices, with a good-sized orchard, well stocked with fruit trees close by, and a two-stall stable Surrounding the house were well-cultivated farm lands which, with the farm dwelling houso and outbuildings, were let to Mr. Rowland Breese at a yearly rent of JE44. The lot was interspersed with woods and plantations of mature growth and embraced an area of over ninety-seven acres. There was good trout fishing in the river Diflase adjoining. Mr. Edmund Gillart was the vendor's solicitor. The Auctioneer said" This afternoon I am privleged to offer you two exceedingly useful agricultural properties, properties that are favourably situated in the little valley of the Diflase, one of the tributaries of the Dovey. The properties are similar in character, both being mainly composed of grass in the shape of good sheep and cattle pastures and some thriving hay lands. Nice, compact farms they are, lying in a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, with comfortable homesteads, conveniently placed for the management of the land. They are moderately rented and each represents a sound investment, equally to a landed proprietor as to an intending tenant-owner. They are conveniently placed for markets and fairs, being within a distance of about four miles from Mach- ynlleth, and for farms of this class the approach to them is certainly quite good. These are undoubtedly very suitable hold- ings, not too large, but both in siu and value just what there is a great deal of demand for, and just what may be reason. ably expected to realise a satisfactory price at any time if brought into the market. The Auctioneer described Cleirie Isaf as a desirable sheep farm with a right of pasturage on the extensive sheepwalk on Cefn Modfedd, which was of great advan- tage to the holding. The house and buildings were conveniently arranged and in fair condition. There was a quantity of useful timber, not so much as on the other lot, but still serviceable and of not a little value,, especially for the require- ments of the farm. The holding was well watered and partly bounded by the Diflase and Hcngwm streams. Bidding for the lot commenced at £800, and it was purchased by Mr. Thomas Jones, Tymawr, the tenant, at £1,100. Referring to Dolcaradog the Auctioneer said the lot was small, but a complete residential and agricultural estate in itself. It has quite a comfortable residence, and although this has been in hand for some time it was yet in good condition. The approach was prettily bordered with fine ornamental trees and shrubs. From its commanding posrtion, it enjoyed extensive views of mountainous counrty, dotted here and there with wood- land. The house itself is well sheltered and substantially built, being almost alto- gether of fairly modern construction. With a little money spent on improve- ments, such as the laying of a supply of water right to the house, which could be done cheaply, it should be an easy matter to find a tenant for the place at a remun- erative rent. The trout fishing was an attractive feature to a good number of people, and Diflase was undoubtedly capable of affording to those fond of fishing many a pleasant hour well spent. There was also a little shooting to be had. The farm lands were let with the farm house and buildings at a yearly rent of £44 which, of course, did not include the residence. Along the riverside there were useful oak trees and poles which were very useful indeed. There was a larch planta- tion above the house, two of them, in fact. covering about three acres. The timber was of considerable value as tb,1se who were acquainted with the property knew. There is a considerable amount of mineral in the soil/' the Auctioneer re- marked, and if you do not believe you can go to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to find out." (Laughter.) Bidding for the Dolcaradog Estate commenced at JE900 and the lot was purchased at £1,240 by Mrs. Jones, Tygwyn, Aberhosan.
LIBERAL MEETING AT CORRIS.
LIBERAL MEETING AT CORRIS. Sir,—Allow me as Secretary of the Liberal Association at Corris to correct the erroneous statements contained in the re- port of a meeting held here on the 18th June which appeared in your last issue. In the said report is the following:— "Fifteen candidates for the general eleo- tion were named, but finally, after voting privately, they were reduced to one, namely, Mr Haydn Jones." The above is most incorrect and mis- leading. It is true that fifteen persons were named, but they were named together by private voting, after which there was no "reducing" whatever. And they were not named (Mr Haydn Jones included) as candidates for the seat as such, but as suitable persons to come and address a meeting and give their views. The meet- ing 'was to name three persons for this object. It is true Mr Haydn Jones got the majority, but it should be clearly understood that fourteen others got their share of the votes, and those that voted for Mr Jones voted also for two others. There was but thirty-one present, al- though it was a "public Liberal meeting." I believe this explanation is due on my part in fairness to every one concerned.— Yours, etc., H. R. WILLIAMS, (Llwydrudd) Hon. Secretary. Corris, June 29th 1909.

This week the chief item of interest is a letter from Lady Charlotte Briggs, who, writing from 5, Charles-street, London, S.W., says:—"Lady Briggs presents her compliments to Dr. Oassell's Medicine Co., and will be glad of another half-dozen bottles of Dr. Cassell's Tablets, which she has much pleasure in stating are most efficacious in removing the distressing re- sults of overwork, worry, and nervous- ness."

Williams, Gwerclas; and John Jones, Trawsxynydd. New Magistrate. Mr John Jones, Brynysguborian, Traws- fynydd, took the oath as a magistrate for the county. A Stolen Saddle. The following were empanelled as grand jurors: Fred Arnfield, Glvndwr Buildings, Dolgelley, fore- man Ellis Evans, Llwyn Mills; Hugh Evans, Benar John Evans, Crosby Build- ings, Dolgelley; William Griffith, Sylfaen Golodd, LIanaber; Robert Huglies, Felin Newydd, Llanfachreth; William Jones, 2, Morfin, Barmouth Henry Miles, Cambrian House; Thomas Morgan.

Wil- liams, Frondeg, Dolgelley; Robert Wil- liams, Gellifechan, Barmouth; William Williams, Fronhyfiryd; WTilliam Robert Williams, Lombard-street, Dolgelley. Addressing the grand jury, the Chair- man regretted that he could not con- gratulate the county that there were no prisoners for trial, as was the usual condi- tion oir things. There was one case, but it was a simple one and he did not anti- cipate there would be much difficulty in dealing with it. The grand jury having returned a true bill, they were thanked and discharged. Evan Griffiths, horse breaker, committed by the Corwen magistrates on the charge of having stolen a saddle, the property of David Jones Owen, admitted the" offence as well as a previous conviction. The case was then disposed of without calling any evidence or summoning the petty jurors. Having been in custody for over a month, prisoner was sentenced to four months imprisonment with hard labour. Congratulations. Mr Artemus Jones, on behalf of the bar, and Mr Ð. O. V. Lloyd, on behalf of. the Bench, offered their sincere and hearty congratulations to the Chairman on the baronetcy conferred on him by the King. Mr Artemus Jones said he had a peculiar pleasure in doing so, because he was a member of the Press gallery when he made the-acquaintance of Sir Osmond Williams who was engaged in parliamentary work. He did not believe that any member re- presenting a Welsh constituency enjoyed the esteem and respect of political oppon- ents and friends more than the Chairman did. He felt quite sure that the Chair- man would worthily maintain the high traditions connected with the office he now filled. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman replied expressing his heart-felt cordial appreciation of the con- gratulations offered to him. Licensing. The remainder of the business consisted of the applications for the renewal of the licences of the Market Vaults, Blaenau Festiniog; Cross Foxes Inn, Llandirillo and the Nag's Head Inn, Dinas Mawddwy. The three licences had been referred to the Licensing Committee by the licensing justices. The Hon. C. H. Wynn presided over the Committee in the morning and Mr Haydn Jones in the afternoon, with Mr Randal Casson as clerk. In the case of the Market Vaults, Mr J. Jones Morris appeared for the licensing justices and Mr R. 0. Davies for the ten- ant. It was explained that the house was originally built as a grocer's shop and oon- tinued to be used. The renewal of the licence was objected on the ground that it was not required having regard to the de- creasing population and the fact that there were two hotels within 100 yards. Evidence against the renewal was given by Inspector Roberts, Mrs Jane Jones, Mrs Catherine Williams, Edward Jones, Wm. Thomas, and the Rev George Davies. In supporting the application, Mr R. 0. Davies explained that it was difficult to have witnesses, as they feared they would be marked men if they came forward. He emphasised the fact that the Market Vaults was a free house and that the licensee's family were most respectable people. W. H. Jones, the licensee, gave figures showing the amount of trade done. -Cross-examined by Mr Jones Morris, he admitted that the bulk of the bottled beer was sold over the .shop counter. In the case of the Cross Foxes Inn, formal evidence was given by Sergeant T. W. Edwards, Corwen. Mr Lloyd John appeared for the licensing justices and Mr R. O. Davies for the licensee. The hearing of the application in resnect of the Nag's Head occupied nearly three hours. Mr R. Guthrie Jones appeared for the licensing justices and Mr Artemus Jones (instructed by Mr Meyric Hughes Aberystwyth), appeared for the owners, the City Brewery Company, Lichfield. Opposition evidence was given by Messrs John Evans, farmer and surveyor; Thos. Breese, Aberangell; Morgan Lewis, Ty- mawr; J. Rees, Craiglais; Howell Evans, I fnddgilcwm; Edward Jones, Gwas- tadgoed; David Richards, sheep dealer- Robert Jones, Nantyrhedydd; Thos James, Dinas Mawddwy; J. Ellis Williams, school teacher. The renewal of the licence was objected to on the ground that the house was not required, there being four houses in the district for a population of 752, or one house for 188 inhabitants. Mr Artemus Jones addressed the Committee in support of the application, and evidence was given by Wm. Owen, tenant; John Davies, Mallwyd; John Lewis, Carno; and lhomas Andrews, managing director of the ^mpany. It was stated that consider- able expenditure had been incurred in m7°5:'crnisinS the premises and providing additional accommodation. The Committee decided to confirm the decisions oh the licensing justices in each case and the three licenses were referred to the supplemental meeting for com- pensation. POLICE COMMITTEE". The quarterly meeting of the Standing Joint Committee was also held on Tuesday at Dolgelley, the Hon. C. H. Wynn, chair- man, presiding. There were also present Sir A. Osmond Williams, M.P.; Colonel Evans Jlûyd, Lieut.-Colonel G. F. Scott, Messrs R. Prys Owen, R. C. Anwyl, C. E. Munro Edwards, R. D. Roberts, W. P. Evans, R. E. Roberts, and D. Breese, clerk of the peace; Thomas Jones, chief constable; and E. Vaughton, county sur- veyor. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children wrote having con- sidered the Committee's application for re- payment of the costs in the recent prose- cution of Canon and Mrs Lambert. Mr R. J. Parr director, replied that the grounds referred to in the resolution did not in any way affect the liability of. the county under the provisions of the Costs in Crim- inal Cases Act, 1908. The Chief Constable reported that the offences determined summarily were 204 against 214 in the correspondllg quarter, including fifty-five breaches of the Motor Car Act against twenty-five, thirtv-seven drunkenness against thirty-two, fifty-three begging against sixty-two. The number of vagrants relieved at the four casual wards in the county was 2,517, against 2,507 in the corresponding quarter, an in. crease of ten as follows:—Bala 752 against 654; Corwen, 870 against 773; Dolgelley 549 against 673; Penrhvn, 346 against 407. On June 10th. 1909, P.C. E. D. I FJ. Davies, from Reigate Borough Force, was appointed as a member of the force and transferred to Barmouth. The police stations and county buildings were in fair repair. The conduct of the force continued satisfactory.

This has been appropriated as 19s. 3d. to the superannuation fund; £139 12s. 9d. to the county fund; £2 12s 6d. to the Exchequer; £3 Is. 6d. to other persons; JS15 10s. satisfied by committal to prison leaving £72 17s. ao be carried forward to this year's account.

"In his reoort the Chief Constable stated that P.C. T. Meurig Williams, Barmouth, had resigned his membership of the force of his own accord after a year and ten months' service. P.C. Williams applied for the return of the money he had paid into the pension fund, amounting to £2 19s. 6d. The Chief Constable added that he could not recommend the Committee to grant the application. Replying to ques- tions, he said that P.C. Williams was be- coming a useful officer. He had. how- ever, put the county to the expense of applying him with a new uniform shortly before his resignation. The Chairman—Is there not a, report that he wishes to enter the Church? The Chief Constable—Yes. It is not a case of being in want of woney. On the proposition of Colonel Evans Lloyd, seconded by Mr. R. E. Roberts., it was decided not to the application. Replying to questions, the Clerk explained that all the fines paid by motorists were credited to the county fund, and the Chairman thought that was the proper course having regard to the damage cauted by the motor traffic to roads maintained by the county. The Surveyor reported that the tower of Bala County Hall had been repaired and a new range fixed in Towyn Police Station. Festiniog Police Station had been cleaned and painted. The police stations through- out the county were now in a clean and good sanitary condition. The Surveyor was allowed £20 to carry out minor repairs which might be required during the quarter. After discussion, it was agreed to pay the pension due to ex-P.C. William Jones, formerly of Aberdovey and now of Cali- fornia, to Mr. David Evans, solicitor, Machynlleth, on his behalf, a portion to be applied in repayment to the Guardians and 10s. a week to he applied for the main- tenance of the pensioner's wife and family. The police accounts were examined by a sub-committee and passed. The report of a committee of the County Council on the expenditure of county funds was consid- ered. The Chairman said it appeared from the report that the police expenditure was higher in Merioneth than in other counties but it should be remembered that the majority of the force had served full time and were, therefore, in receipt of full remuneration. He asked whether Mr Anwyl had made a comparison of the ages of the police in the different counties? Mr .Anwyl replied that he had no in- formation as to the exact ages of the police; but it was obvious that as the rate of increase of pay was more raoid than in other counties it necessarily followed that there would be more constable in receipt of full pay. That had. however, been remedied when the Committee reduced the rate of increase of :pay for the future. If a constable arrived at the rate of full pay in eight years in Merion- eth, and in ten or twelve years in other counties, it was obvious as the tabulated return showed that there was a much larger proportion in receipt of full pay in Merioneth than in other counties. The Chief Constable said it appeared from the Government blue book that the Merioneth police cost more than in other North Wales counties. He had made in- quiries and found that in other counties the expenditure on county buildings was not included in the cost of police as was done in the case of Merioneth. If the sum of ;£1585 spent on county buildings last year was deducted, the cost of police in Merioneth would be less than elsewhere. He intended pointing out that fact to the Government Inspector. The Chairman thought it was not only unbusinesslike, but also unfair to the Mer- ioneth police when so much difference was made in calculating the expenditure. Mr Anwyl, who was chairman of the Sub- committee appointed by the County Council to make the report, said he was only too pleased if he had been the means of enabling the Chief Constable to find that difference and to know that there was an explanation. On the proposition of Mr R. E. Roberts, seconded by Colonel Evans Lloyd, it was decided to apply for permission to use work- houses in the county as places of detention under the Children Act. During the dis- cussion, the Chief Constable explained that no children had arrested in the county for many years, and the Chairman sug- gested the advisability of informing the Home Office that the regulations issued with reference to the Act were more appli- cable to towns than to rural districts. The Chairman, in proposing that six stop watches should be purchased for the use of the police, said that much time was lost in hearing motor cases owing to the lengthy cross-examination of constables when giving evidence of the speed trav- elled. That difficulty would be avoided if the police were provided with reliable stop watches and, seeing that fines amounting to JB85 were paid at Corwen on the prev- ious Friday, he thought the county could well afford to make that provision. The watches would, of course, belong to the county. Mr Anwyl thought it was most desirable that constables in all villages and towns in the county should have stop watches which would assist their judgment in determining the speed of a motor car going through. They could not tell the speed from mere observation, and in his opinion it was more important to check the speed of cars trav- elling through villages and towns fian where there was less danger. The Chief Constable said the police had nine stop watches already. He added that £163 had been received in fines imposed on motorists during the quarter. Colonel Evans Lloyd pointed ouo that stop watches were required in witching measured distances. Replying to Mr Anwyl, the Clerk said a letter had been receive (from Pennal Parish Council with reference to motor traffic, but it was addressed to tie County Council. On the proposition of Mr Frys Owen, seconded by Lieutenant-Colone: Scott, it was agreed to purchase six stoy watches. Mr Munro Edwards expressed the opin- ion that the trap" system vas distinctly wrong. He agreed, however, that it was important to provide stop watches, but they should be of a uniform nature, as the motor cars carried speedometers which were absolutely accurate. Ee was not a motorist and no one disliked excessive speed more than he did but he felt that traps" were not placed in a fair position to motorists. It would b", fairer if "traps" were placed nearer urbm districts where there was more traffio and more possibility of dange,. The Chief Constable said Mr Edwards was probably referring to a recent case at Rhydymain but he had received letters from residents complaining of the excessive speed and the "trao" was put there to oblige them. Mr Munro Edward's said the piece of road had a steep gradient, and as there was very little traffic, i; was not a fair criterion of excessive speed. There was feeling among motorists in Manchester. Liverpool, and elsewhere to boycott Dolgelley district and he feared t would prevent many people from v.siting the county. Of course, that was only hearsay, but he believed it was true. The Chairmen said Mr Edwards was speaking as if fines were not imposed in other places. While the Chief Constable gave an allovance of twenty-five miles an hour, fines "ere imposed in other places for exceeding the limit of twenty miles. If motorists travelled at reckless speed, Dolgelley had better do without them. (Hear, hear.) Sir Osnwid Williams said that motoring was increasing in favour among all classes of people. He found that Merioneth was "pilloried" in the motoring papers and the hotels, lodging houses, and others catering for visitors had to be considered. Indiv- idually, he would prefer doing without those motorists who travelled so fast; but he thought some consideration should be given to those who catered for visitors. The Chairman—We must also consider the safety of the public. Colonel Evans Lloyd agreed that it would be better for Dolgelley to do without motorists who could not control their machines. The Chairman said Mr Edwards could give notice to deal with the matter further at the next meeting, and he was sure the Chief Constable would consider the re- marks made. Mr Munro Edwards-I do not wish to cast any reflection on the way the Chief Constable discharges his duty. Sir Osmond WTilliams—Certainly not. On the Chairman's proposition, seconded by Colonel Evans Lloyd, it was agreed that a committee composed of two representa- tives from each petty sessional division should be appointed to take into considera- tion, with a view to obtaining uniformity throughout the county, the basis to be adopted in granting exemptions from dog licences and extra work imposed on justices clerks under the Dogs Act".
NEWCASTLE EMLYN

A careful search was made, however, and he was eventu- ally found n%ar the same spot. He was worked down stream, and after about two hours sport, was killed. He was a fine dog otter weighing between twenty-six and twenty-eight pounds. The hounds worked the river up again towards Pentrecourt, but no further find was made.

Richards, Adpar, on the 14th May from which a certain amount of cream had been abstracted.—P.C. Richards said he purchased a pint of milk from defendant's daughter and told her he was going to send it to be analysed. One bottle was sent to the Analyst, while the other two were kept by him and defendant respectively. The sample kept by him was produced.—By the Bench What made vou go there for milk ?—Witness I was told that they sold some occasionally and I had also instructions from the Deputv Chief to call on milk vendors and take samples. I did not know of anyone who obtained milk there except one man.—Samuel Jones, the defendant, stated that about nine a.m. on the 14th May, P.C. Richards called at his place and asked if they sold milk. He was told that they would spare him some. He replied that he must have a pint of milk if any had been sold. The officer said that he was going to send it to be analysed. D.C.C. Williams and P.C. Richards called some days afterwards and stated that the milk was deficient in fat. He (defendant) replied that he could not helo that. They did not make it a practice to sell milk One old man living close by who often assisted them occasionally got a halfpennyworth of milk; but he did not get it regularly. They kept all their milk for butter and cheese making. The milk had been given to the constable as they got it from the cows.— After a lengthy deliberation, the Bench stated that they had given careful con- sideration to the case and being an excep- tional one a fine of only 6d and costs would be made. Alleged Assault.—A case in which James Evans, Tivy View, and Thomas Rees, Cil- rhue, were the parties concerned, was ad- j ournedi to the next meeting.
