LOCAL LAW CASES.
LOCAL LAW CASES. A DISPUTED AGREEMENT. STBAMSHIP BIR FON Co. (Lix,TAD) V. LIVERPOOL, BARROW, AND WEST GUMBHKLAND STBAMSHIP Co. (LIMITED).—This was the appeal of the plaintiffs (heard on Monday) to the Court of Appeal trom the judgment of MrO. Crompton, Q C commissioner, .at trial at Liverpool. Tue plaintiffs claimed pay- ment of £ 190 agreed to be p*id by the defendants under a- agreement dated the 6th of September, 1882, between the plaintiffs: Mr S. Grindcd Pugh, and the defendant company. It appeared that on the Gth September, 1832, before the incorpora- tion of the defendant company, the plamtin") en- tered into an agreement with Air S. GriaslodPugb, as trustee for the defendant company intended to 3>e forrsei, that the defendant company should purchase from Sir Fun Company taa bensfit and advantage of certain agreements between that company and Dunsmuir and Jackson on tne telms opacified therein. It was a term in the agreement that the defendant company should within one calendar month from the date of the registration of the defendant company pay to the plaintiffs all and every sums of money (aot exceeding in the Whole JE190) which the plaintiffs had paiu. or in. curred in connection with tho l uuning of certain chartered steamers which the Sir Fon Company had before then lately charteied and run between Liverpool and Barrow jointly and in connection with the Steamship Rhyl Company, Limited, in excess of the amount which the plaintiffs had Gamed or received. The defendant company was incorporated, and one of the articles cf association stated that the company was established to adopt, execute, and carry into effect the agreement, aud the plaintiffs alleged that the defendant company did afterwards adopt the agreement and that the oeal of the company was affixed thereto. The defendant company did not within one calendar month from the d.,to of registration pay to the plaintiffs £ 90, and hence the present action was brought. Mr Commissio: e? Orompton gave judg- ment for the defendants, and from this decision the plaintiff now appealed!. Mr Rigby, Q C., and Mr Bremner appeared for the appellants, and Mr WOAU for the lespondents. From the argument of Mr Rigby it appeared that the agreement had b-en ratified by the defen- dant company and that they were liable to pay the £190 to the plaintiffs, 111 the prospects of the defendant company they stated tsftt they had adopted the agreement, and the/ sealed the a-Yee ment in December, 1882; but the directors erected Mr Pugh to rescind the agreement in June, load, and he (Mr Rigby) contended that the recitjeion was too late. In the ba'asce-sheet which the directors of the defendaat company ic s<ructed their contractors to make out, the sum of £ 190 w¿s in. eluded; but afterwards, not thinking the figures were right, the agreement was rescinded by Air Pugh. He (Mr Higby) submitted that the agree- ment was binding on the defendants, because they admitted in the:r prospectus having enteied into it; and, secondly, having adopted the agreement by affixing their seal to it they wore further bound to carry it cut. Mr M'OalI said that the seal of the company cotild not have been affixed in December, 1882, because it was not in existence until April, 1883 The Master of the Rolls (without calling on the counsel for the respondents) gave judgment. He said that the defendant company had not adopted the agreement, and as there had been no agreement binder the seal of the company the case was at an end on that ground alone. It seemed to him that the evidence was clear that the directors never did adopt the agreement, and the prospectus was not accurate when it stated that the agreement had been adopted. It was extremely doubtful if a statement in the prospectus would constitute the adoption of an agreement. Then Mr Pugh had authority to rescind the agreement from the directors and these were all reasons why the judgment in the case ought to be for the de- fendant company, and the appeal would be dis- missed with costs. Lords Justices Bowen and Fry concurred.

-.-PWLLHELI.
PWLLHELI. INTERMRDIATS EDUCATION.—Tha Bfcretariesof Pwllheli Society of Natural Science and Literature have received the following letters in reply to the society's memorial relative to the question of Intermediate education, and the want of an intermediate school in this town :— Privy Council Office, April 30th, 1884. gra J am desired by the Lord President to acknowledge the receipt of your communication •with reference to the lack of your cdu«ili;n.l Sties at Pwllheli, and to asmre you that it will receive careful attention. I am, 81r, your •obedient servant, DASEST. John Jones, Etq. J0HN Privy Council Office, April 28th, 1S84. SIB,—Mr Mundella desires me to ackaowledge the receipt of the petition of the Pwllbeli Iz;)ciely of Natural Science and Literature, dated 22aa April, 1884, to which he will give his attention. I remain, sir, yours faithfully, E. T. BRYANT. John Jones, Esq. 18, Prince's Gardens, London, S.W. Dsu. SIR,-I bave to acknowledge the receipt of your memorial on the subject of an intermed- iate school for Pwllheli. Ab I think, you know, I quite recognize the great importance of this question; but I hardly suppose that the Govern- ment Bill will designate the places at which these schools are to be established. I conceive it would be necessary before doing so to hold au enquiry, or that it will be left to the localltlea In some other way to take the initiative m the matter. I do not, however, speak from any knowledge on this point. -Yours faithfully, W ILLtAU RATHBONB. John Jones, Esq. Junior United Service Club, London, S.W. April 26th, 1884:. DIAB SlR,-I åm in receipt of your petition, ,ce, and it will be my pleasurable duty to do what I can to further your praiseworthy wishes.-X ours .faithfully, LOVE JONES-PARRY. John Jones, Efq. A FAIR.—The annual May Fair, which was I he!d here last Thursday, was undoubtedly the largest that has been held for the last ten years. A laige number of dealers being present, business was britk throughout the day. The prices I obtained for cattle were better than what had been expected, and the horses also sold well. The annual show of entire horses in connection with the Lleyn and Eifionydd Agricultural Society also took place on the same day. Prizes of d610 by the society, and JG20 by Lord Penihyn, were offered for showing the best stallion suitable for agricultural purposes; and JE10 by T. Lloyd Edwards, Esq., and £5 by the society to the second best. Also, for showing the best stallion suitable for saddle or harness, L5 by the society, JE10 by Owen Evans, Esq and J630 by the mem. bers of the Eifionydd Hunt. Five horses were entered in the former class, and one in the latter, but the judges, Mr Storer, Chester, and Mr Owen, Lledwigan, with-held the przas in both classes, owing to the want of sufficient mertt in the animals exhibited. A LIBSHAL CLUB.—On Thursday evening a meeting was held at the Town Hall to consider the a-lvisabilty of taking steps to establish a Liberal Club in the town. Circulars had been sent to several Liberals in the town and neighbourhood, iaviting their co-operation in the movement, but very few responded, as the attendance was extremely meagre. The small. ness of the attendance no doubt must be attribu- ted to the fact that the meeting was held on such an inconvenient evening. It could hardly be expected of the tradesmen t3 leave their places of business and attend to politics on a fair night, and under the circumstances the few that had attended very wisely ad j ourned the meeting to the following Tuesday night THE TOWN CLOCK.—The readers of this journal are doubtless acquainted with Oowper's humorous verses on "Nose aad Eyes," how they describe the fierce contest which arose on that memorable occasion between the said worthy members of the human body. One would think that something similar must have bsen. going on throughout last week, among the several members which make up our celebrated town clock and Greenwich time. keeper, but more especially, perhaps, between its hands and its bell. When the hands happened to point to the hour of two. the bell in cletr aud distinct notes would strike out twelve, much to the astonishment bewilderment of the inhabitants at large. A young poet of the town, and a great admirer of the author of Old Grandfather's Clock, deemed it a worthy occasion to compose a few lines, after the style of his favourite author, descriptive of the characteristics of the clock, and here they are :— Our grandfather's clock is a curiosity, For consistency ne'er has it found, Suppose it striketh 7, yet the hands point half- past 11, And at variance its dials all round; Yet it ksep3 in its place—in that spire nights aud days, And ita haads often hang by its side, For its stops short, only sometimes goes Since the old men died. Its tired old pendulam swings to and fro, As the clock strikes the hours of the night, But childhood and manhood are puzzled to know If the clock chimes the hours aright, For at midnight sometimes, mid-day are its real chimes, And the clockmaker has it defied, For it stops short, only sometimes goes Since the old men died. Chorus 'Tis a fast-going, blow-going, rare-going clock, Always changing with the wind like a true weather-cock, And its stops short, only sometimes goes Since the old men died. CHANGES.—The numerous friends of Mr C. H. Davies, accountant of the North and South Wales Bank here, will be sorry to hear that he is leaving the town this week for Liverpool. During his long stay amongst us he hps endeared himself to all, and has won a very high place in the esteem of those who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His leaving will ba a matter of great legret to the friends that have lately started the mission work at Sand-street, as he has b?en from the beginning a warm supporter of the movement. He goes away with the best wishes of a large circle of friends. It is said that Mr Roberts, son of the Rev H. Roberts, vicar of Aber- daron, has been appointed to succeed Mr Davies at the Bank. CRICKET.—A meeting for the purpose of form- ing a c. icket club was held at the Town Hall on Saturday eveaing, presided over by Mr 0. Rabyns Ower, solicitor. Till last season there used to be a very flourishing club always in this tjwn, and cm that always rendered a good account of itsalf, even when playing against such trains as the Friirs, Carnarvon Training College, &c. but last year, owing to some of tke best players leaving town, it ceased to exist. It is gratifying, however, to find the young men endeavouring to form a new one again, and it is to be hoped they will succeed. It need hardly be said here that recreation is necessary, and that unless "healthy recreations" like the manly and health. inspiring game of cricket be provided for the young men, their recreative faculties will be indulged in some pernicious ways. It is to be hoped also that the newly-formed club will imitate its predecessor by giving at the end of gthe seasoy anieal lood concer't
LLANDUDNO.
LLANDUDNO. JWCIOR LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.—To celebrate the inauguration of their new premises in Llewelyn- street, the members of this association last Taurs. day dined together at Mr Johnson's rertaurant. Dr Bold Williams, J.P., the president of the club, occupied the chair. THE SCROOL B)ARD.-The monthly meeting was held last Thursday, Mr T. Edge presiding.-Her Majesty's inspector's annnil report showed that the Government grant earned was £ 243 14s, as compared with jE160 last year. The report alluded to the great improvement in the mixed school.— The chairman called attention to an article in a Conway paper comparing the expenditure of con- ducting the Conway National Schools with that of the Llandudno Board, and setting forth that the Board Schools were more expensive. The chair- mvn, in critising the article, said it did not tell the "whole truth."
LLANRWST.
LLANRWST. THE MARKET.—The market on Tuesday was very small, Abergelo fair being held on the same day. PETTY SESSIONS, MONDAY, MAY 5TH.—Before J. Blackwall, Eeq. (chairman), Col. Johnstone, O. Hordern, R q Bastardy Case, —John Thomas, late of Trallwyn, LUnaantffraid. was charged with being the alleged father of tae illegitimate child of Margaret Ellen Joue3, George street. Llanrwst, late of Maesydd, Llaneantftraid. Oldered to pay 2s 6d per week, together with ths cf-ata. Mr Humphreys, of Llan- rwet, appeared for the complainant, and Mr Morris Davies, Rhyl, for the defendant. J An assault case from Llanrwst was settled out of court. Drunk and Disorderly.— David Jones, a labourer, was charged by P.O. Williams for being drunk and disorderly in the Market-square, Llanrwst, on the 30th April, and fined 2:3 6;1 aad 63 6j costs. Defendant was allowei a fortnight's time to Wealed in? to send a Child to School.—Samuel Jones, butcher, Llanrwst, was summoned by Hugh Jones, attendance officer, for neglecting to send his child to school. Defendant produced a doctor's ceitificate, showing that the child had been ill.—Case dismissed. Non-payment of Riles —Humphrey Jones, Garth- ewin (farmer), was summonel by Mr Morris Daviea, collector, for non-payment of rate. a mounting to £ 2 9s Ordered that a warrant of distress be issued fcr the fall amount. RURAL SANTTARV AUTHORITY.—The new board met on Tuesday, May 6th. Mr McIntyre was re-elected chairman. Mr Owen and Mr Owen Isgoed Jones, vic3-chairmen. Present: Mr W. G. Jones, Revs J. Gower, W. M. Watkin, Messrs J. G. Jones, G. Williams, Daniel Williams, Eli Evans, E. Edwards, and the chairmen. Farochial CommiAee. —It was proposed by Mr I W. G. Jones that a parochialtsommittee be formed for the contributory place of Tre'r-dre' under sec- tion 202 of the Public Health Act, 1875. He be. lieved it was absolutely necessary to form this committee for the towuship of Tre'r-dre*. He also explained that the Act grants power to elect any qualified ratepayer a member of the committee, but he would prefer that the guardians should be I chosen. Mr G. Jones coupled with his resolution that the committee should be limited to five mem- bers. Both resolutians were seconded by the Rev J. Gower and carried unanimously. The fol- lowing were elected members of the committee: — Messrs Mclntyre, W. G. Jones, O. Isgoed Jones, E. Edwards, and.Rev J. Gower. Nuisance at Dolyddden.—A. letter was read from the medical officer of heilth, complaining of nuisances at Dolyddelen. Resolved to seive the owners of the houses with notices to abate the same. Ais&ssment Committee.—Mr McIntyre was re- elected chairman. There were no appeal cases. School Attendance Comniitt e.—Rev J. Gower was re-elected chairman. Several parties appeared before the committee and were severely repri. manded for not sending their children to school, and also cautioned that in future they will be brought before the magistrates.
AMLWCH.
AMLWCH. The cricket season having fairly opened, we hope that the Amlwch Club will be able to render a good account ot itself. It has an opportunity of wiping off or retrieving the double defeat of its friends and comrades of the football persuasion. It will be a sweet relief for us should it suceed in doing so, for we regard the honour of Amlwch prowess sacredly and jealously. Two or three years ago Captain Pritchard- Rayner widened and improved Lon-yr-afongoch for public traffic, and very generously made a present of it to the parish, contingent upon it being kspt iu good order and condition. That un- grateful dog, called the pariah, refused it, and it has remained since perfectly useless for practical purposes..Our guardian angels stick obstinately at the expense of its restoration, totally oblivious of the public inconvenience occasioned thereby. Itlia a much shorter and more even route from the station to the Port than the present hilly and round about Main-street reate, and I am astonished at the indifference of the highway board to its advantages. Two of the members of that select party, at least, are largely interested in the cart traffic between the station and their works, and even their own personal interests would be vastly accommodated by its acquisition for permanent use. Besides which also, there is nothing more insulting to a gentleman than to have a kindly and well meant public donation wilfully flung aside. We certainly cannot pride ourselves on our grand roads, promenades, aud parks, aod one would suppose we should only be too thankful for this kindly addition. On Friday afternoon, another telling affliction overtook poor old Ebenezer Pritchard, Salem- street, and his wife, in the loss of their second son. He was washed .overboard the flat lJilo, off the coast of the Isle of Man, and drowned. Two months ago, their youngest son was lost with the schooner Surprise. Their bitter trial is an exceedingly severe one, and they are truly the objects of the sincerest sympathy. We hope the affluent will help the needy now, they have such a spectacle of pity to commiserate. May the Father of Mercies be good to them in their hour of deep trouble. On baturday morning last, the vital spark of Mrs Laura Evans, relict of the late Captain J. Evans, the Berv, Port, winged its flight to the realms above. Mrs Evans had been for a good while in very indifferent health, and latterly showed un- mistakeable symptoms of breaking up. It will be a loss to her bereaved family whith they will deeply mourn, and the Carmel (0.) church losses in her departure a trusted and faithful member. It will have, however, contributed another brilliant jewel to the ;crown of the King of Glory, for, verilv, she was a mother in Israel. The 'united prayer meetings of the town and Port Calvin sts continue to be held with un- diminished fervour at their two chapels alterna- tely. Thay are doubtless the means of doing a great amount of good. In union is strength. Our friends, however, need not be too stinted nor selfish over the means of grace. There is plenty in store for the members of all other denomina- tions as well. Why are they excluded ? I have reason to know that they long for an invitation to join us. Will it not be granted now ? There is a storm of furious rage waging over the fanatic teaspoon of Llaneilian. It has become a veritable Eatonswill. The undomitable Pott assails the redoubtable Nott. All this once peaceful and happy land has been converted into an arenaf of obstinate strife. There has not been any shedding of blood, so far I believe, between the bel igerent forces; though a rupture of the peace is occasionally threatened by private individuals. So long, {however, as the modut operandi is confined to petty meetings as schools, parish vestries, and public-house slander and gossip, we may reasonably suppose that no bones will be broken. We fondly cherish that sweet hope, and shall at least hesitate yet a while before posting off an application for strengthening the constaoulary. Meanwhile, it is interesting to observe how valiantly clever the belliccsa section have become. They are of all things else lawyers, born and bred orators, cut and dried accountants, ad infinitum debaters, and every way exceedingly clever and formidable. Fancy all the sons of Ellian ty some wonderful freak of nature instantaneously become prophets That all this innate spleea and spite is enacted in the nime of religion is the most comic feature of the whole anomalous situation. God forgive the fantasy of such religionists. It is presumed that those who have scarcely any business of their own to mind enjoy the luxury of minding other people's business. This is an ancient principle, for the devil did always find some work for idle hands to do, and as the im- mortal William warbled, "Trifles as light as air are to the simple as confirmed as holy Writ. If there is no wit in them,! they may Faletatf-like claim the distinction of "being the cause of wit in others," and so we laugh derisively at the j oke. „
CONWAY.
CONWAY. THE CHORAL UNION.—This society, which owes its establishment to the libeiality of the High Sheriff of Carnarvonshire (Mr Albert Wood), last Thursday night gave its inaugural concert, the chief item on the programme being Macf&rren's "May Day." Dr Roland Rogers, organist of Bangor Cathedral, conducted. The second part was of a miscellaneous character, the principals being Miss Maggie Ivor Jones, Mr Lawson (violin), and Mr Bennet Jones, Baugor Cathedral (pianist). PETTY SESSIONS.-On Monday lest, before Messrs H. Kneeahaw (in the chair), J. Barton, H. R. Hazledine, C. H. Darbishire, and the Rev J. D. Jones. Sealing User on Sunday.—Humphrey Williams, of the Eagles Icn, holder of a six days' license, was charged with selling beer to Ann Ellis, PJas. Isa'- place, on Sunday, the 13th ult,-P.C. Owen, who proved the offence, stated that he saw Ann Ellis enter the house about ten minutes to in the mot ing of the day in question, anc*, followed her nearer to the door, when she esked the landlady for a drop of beer in the can, as her husband was ill in bed, suffering from cold. Mrs Williams took the can and returned it. Then Ann EUis went out, followed by tha witness, WBO asked her what was in the can. She refused to say. The policeman then threatened to take her into custody, when he obtained the can and tasted the contents, which appeared to be beer. —For the defence it was contended by Mr Evans, solicitor, Carnarvon, that Ann Ellis went to the house on the morning in question aud asked for a drop of butter milk, so that she might heat it so as to make her husband perspire. The landlady replied that she had no milk that morning, as it was finished. Ann Ellis then said, "For God's sake, give me a drop of beer then." Mrs Williams took the can and gave her some beer, which was not measured or charge 1 for, and the advocate then quoted a case-Simmons tI. Millington-that it would not be sufficient to show that she was seen to leave the premises, though beer was found n her possession, and that there was no authority o search tueh person.—After hearing the evidence for the defence, the bench fiued the defendan 40a and costs, and ordered the license to be en- dorsed. A Young Burglar.—Thomas R. Jones, a boy of j eleven years of age, residing with his grandfather, and having passed the fourth standard, was charged with stealing the sum of nine shillings, a silver Albert chain, one pair of kid gloves, one brooch, and a penknife, &a., the property of Mrs Ann Jones, Tan-y-graig, Dwygyfylchi, on the 19th April.—The witness stated that she had oceaai n to leave the house from eight in the morning until nine at night. When she returned she found the kitchen window unlatched.—P.O. Jonathan apprehended the boy, who stated that he had spent six shillings at Jacque's Bazaar, Pen- maen-mawr, and the balance he had hidden in Garth Fawr field together with the articles. The boy admitted having been in the house twice.—Mr Chamberlain asked the bench not to send him to a reformatory school but to let him have a chance, so that his grandfather might send him to his father and mother, wno live in London. His father is a life guard.—In answer to the bench, the grandfather stated that it was not the first offence, and that his mother has seven children, and occupy one-half of a hcuse.—The bench, after hearing this, thought it would be better to send the boy to the Chester Industrial School or the Clio until he was of the age of sixteen years. Throwing Line into a Fool.-Richard Williams, of Dwygyfyichi, was charged with throwing lime into a pool in the parish of D wlgtfylchi, on the 22ad ult. A man named Thomas Jones, a farm labourer, proved seeing the defendant taking from a field a few stones of lime, and going in the direction of the pool.—Mr Morrison, station-master at Penmaen-mawr, said he saw the defendant close to the pool about four o'clock on the day in ques- tion, and saw some lime dissolving in the pool, also saw Dshes jumping out on dry land. He asked the defendant what he wanted there, and why did he throw the lime. The defendant said,—Oh, it was not me, sir. The witness: Yes it was, I have caught you in the act of doing it.—The defendant was fined 10s and costs. The Assiz s—The following persons were elected to represent the division to a t on the rep o entative committee against removing the ass zes:—Messrs H. Kneeshaw, H. R.. Hazeldine, and the Rev J. D. Jones. Transfer of L iewses -The following licenses were transferred:—The Edgbaston Hotel, Llandudno, to Carter the Tndno .Castle Hotel to Mrs Page; Albart Vaults to Mr Edward Roberta; Commercial Inn, near Conway, to Mr R. Lawrie; Liverpool Arms, to Miss Thomas; Mail Coach, to Mr Price Rowlands; Penmaen-bach Im, to Mr Richard Jones the Plough Inn, to Mrs Williams.
MEETING OF THE GUARDIANS.
MEETING OF THE GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of this board was held on Friday last, when the following members were present: —The Rev W. V. Williams (in the chair), Messrs Thomas Parry, J. Davies (vice-chairmen), J. Roberts (Cae'rhun), R. F. Roberta, W. F. Jones, E. Robe, ts, D. Phillips, E. Morris, A. Foulkes, J. Roberts (Oolwyn Bay), A. Borthwick, J. Roberts (Llangystenin), J. T. Rayner, O. A. Bulkeley, and the Revs J. S. James, E. Hughes, and D. B. Price. A letter was received from the Local Govern- ment Board, stating that a Government grant of ■ JE20 16a had been made to the workhouse school in respect of twenty-four children examined. Mr R. H. Pritchard, town clerk of Bangor, wrote stating that he had been directed to communicate with tke various public bodies in the counties of Carnarvon and Anglesey, suggesting the desirabi- lity of forming a representative committee for the purpose of taking steps to prevent, if possible, the threatened removal of the assizes from the twa counties to .Chester or Liverpool. He asked the board to co-operst,. Up on the motion of Air Spin ther James', seconded by Dr Bold Williams, the following gentlemen were appointed to represent the board upon the proposed committee:—The chairman and Mr A. Borthwick, and Daniel Phillip3. The chairman remarked that the guardians at their previous meeting decided to support the holding of the grouped assizes at Carnarvon. He suggested that the gentlemen appointed should make that known to the representative committee. The chairman next called attention to the sub- ject of granting Dr R. Jones, the medical officer of health for the Llechwedd-isaf district, a super- annuation allowance. He said that Dr Jones had been medical officer to the board for about thirty- five years, and during that time had always dis- charged his duties to the satisfaction of the guard- ians, and without any complaint ever being made against him by the Local Government Board. Recently he met with an accident, which had to a great extent incapacitated him from discharging the duties of his effiee with as much efficiency as could be desired. He, therefore, came before the board and asked that a sum be granted him so that he could retire and make room for a younger maxx. • Mr Spinther James: I beg to propose that Dr Jones be asked to continue in office. The civil list" will be getting heavier than ever if we have more pensioners. Already we have two receiving £35 each. Mr John Roberts seconded the proposition, and said that Dr Jones had a private practice as well. The chairman pointed out that Dr Jones had served the guardians since 1S53. Dr Bold Williams remarked that Dr Jones always gave his attention to the paupers first, and what private practice he had he managed after attending sick paupers. When acting as medical officer for the Creuddyn district, he (the speaker) had had ample opportunities of seeing how Dr Jones performed his wo'k, and he had no hesita- tion in saying that there was not a more con- scientious parish doctor than Dr Jones in the country. His health was now indifferent, atd he honestly deserved whatever superannuation the board could allow. The Rev D. Bankes Price proposei, and Mr J. T. Raynes seconded, that a superannuation allow- auce be granted to Or Jotes. The chairman was about to put the amendment when Mr James interposed, saying he wished to speak in favout of his motion. The Chairman I Cunnot allow yon to make a second speech. Mr James: Let no understand one thing. What rule do you adhere to ? The Chairman I rule that you have no right to speak on your motion a second time. Mr James: I say that it is the rule in other boards to allow the proposer of the motion the right to reply. I have attended public b)ards for more than twenty-four years, and I have never seen the rule laid down by you adhered to. It is so at Llandudno, is it not Mr Tarry ? Mr Thomas Parry: You are quite right, Mr James. The chairman then allowed Mr James to pro- ceed with his remarks, and he said he fully en- dorsed what Dr Bold Williams had said regarding Dr Jones; but he was of opinion that the guard- ians could not improve matters by superannuating Dr Jones. A Guardian But he deserves it. Mr James I think that things have been cocked in this board for some time. I have watched the papers, and noticed how Dr Jones's name cropped up continually, and I new say that Dr Jones's salary has been consolidated to JE135, with the object of securing a certain superanuuation allow- ance. (" No, no.") I say, yf-s and I say again that to me it appears a very suspicuous affair, and that matters have not been very straight. I do not, howevfr, bring any charge against Dr Jo Jes, but if you add his name to the civil list," already heavy enough, the feeling of disapprobation cut. side will becouie much stronger. Why should the guardians consider the matter when Dr Jones has not written anything about it ? The Chairman He mentioned thejmatter to me, and asked me personally to bring it before the guardians. Mr James But that was not an official commu- nication. The chairman asserted that it was. Mr James then urged the guardians to support his motion. He had no ill-feeling in the matter, but wished to act uprightly and honourably. Dr Bold Williams: I fail to see Mr James's ar- gument. Supposing that there has been some cocking in connection with the matter for the pur- pose of raising the salary to a certain mark, what has that to do with the question ? The superan- nuation will be based upon thej average salary fo; the last three years; therefore whatever cock ni has taken place it wi fall to the ground (hear, has taken place it wi fall to the ground (hear, hear). j The Chairman I am the cook, I suppose (laughter). Mr C. W. Bulkeley: I think the word U cook- ing a most improper one in connection with this board. Mr A. Fjulkes said that the euperannuation wouid not amount to mora than iths of a penny upon an assessment of £ 110,0C0. Mr Borthwick thought,;that Mr James was not of opinion that no superannuation allowance should be granted Dr Jones, but merely exoressed *a belief that the time was inopportune. He be- lieved that Dr Jones was still able to perform his duties, and why should he resign ? The chairman said that Dr Jones was incapaci- tated owing to a broken arm, and since tbe acci- dent the greatest portion of his work had been done by Dr Hughes, of Penmaen-mawr, and Dr R. A. Pritchard, of Conway, both of whom have been exceedingly kind. Subsequently the chairman put the amendment, for whicn nine votes were recorded, Mr James's motion receiving eight votes. The chairman then proposed that they grant Dr Jones a sum of jMO per annum but this question was upon a division, deterred for a fortnight. Upon the motion of Mr Boithwick, s conded by Mr Raynes, the hour of commencing the meetings -10.30 in summer and 11.45 in winter—was changed to 12 noon all the year round.
