ANCLEm COMMON RIGHTS.
ANCLEm COMMON RIGHTS. CASE IN THE COURT OF APPEAL. On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal, con- sisting of Lords Justices A. L. Smith, Rigby, and Collins, had before them the appeal of the defendants, in the case of Roberts and others v- Thomas and others, from a judg- ment of Mr Justice Wright, who found that certain lands in Anglesey were common rights. The plaintiffs were Mr G. E. Ro- berts, of London; Mr John-Roberts, Mr J. R. Jones, and Mr Owen Rowlands, all of An- glesey and Mr Humphrey Ellis, of Bangor, North Wales; and they sued on behalf of themselves and also of all other owners and occupiers of Hands and tenements in the commote of Llivon, Anglesey, for an in- junction to restrain the defendants. from in- terfering with their alleged) common rights over certain pasture lands, which the de- fendants contended belonged to them. The. defendants are Lewis Thomas, Mary Hughes, and William Thomas, all of Anglesey, and the Welsh Explosives Company, Ltd., of 3, Peel Buildings, Birmingham, to whom a portion of the land in question has been let by the other defendants for the purpose of erecting an explosives .factory. It ap- peared that the plaintiff, Mr G. E. Roberts, is the owner of certain messuages, lands, and tenements, known as Pentretraeth and Tynewydd, in the parish of Llanfaelog, in the commote of Llivon, and that the plain- tiffs, Messrs John Roberts, John Jones, and Owen Rowlands, are the owners of certain messuages, lands, and tenements, known as Dowyn, in the parish of Llanfihangel-yn- Nhowyn and at the trial they claimed they were respectively entitled in respect of their messuages and tenements to (a) common of pasture over aN the commonable cattle levant and couchant upon their respective lands in and over the waste or common of about 1300 acres known as Towyn Trewan, in the parishes of Llechylched, Llanfihangel- yn-Nhowyn, and Llanfaelog, in the com- mote of Llivon at all times of -the year; (b) to cut and take as of right and without in- terruption from the said common, turf and furze for fuel, drift sand or seaweed for manure, to be consumed and used in and upon their messuages respectively, and to take and dig in like manner sand for repair- ing the buildings upon their lands. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants, who claimed to be owners of the common or part of it, had injured and disturbed them in their use and enjoyment of their rights by wrongfully enclosing a part of the land. The defendants had threatened to continue and to extend the enclosure, and to erect build- ings or manufactories upon the waste,and the plaintiffs therefore asked for an injunc- tion restraining them from doing so. Mr Justice Wright at the trial found for the plaintiffs, and granted them the injunction. From this decision the defendants .appealed on the ground that there was no evidence of plaintiffs' alleged rights which could stand in law; and, further, that the learned judge was wrong in his interferences of law and of fact. Mr Jelf, Q.C., and Mr Parker appeared for the appellants; while Mr. Rawiinson, Q.C., and Mr. B. Roberts were counsel for the res- pondents. Mr. Jelf, in support of the appeal, went over the evidence given at the trial, and sub- mitted there was nothing in it to show that there was a cattle user by the plaintiffs, over the land in dispute. Lord Justice Smith: Was the action tried in Middlesex ? Mr Jelf Yes, my lordf; and there were a number of Welsh witnesses called, whose evidence had to be interpreted. Lord Justice Smith: It is a monstrous thing this case should have been tried 111 Middlesex. It is wholly a Welsh case, and should therefore have been tried in Wales. Mr Jelf The plaintiffs laid the venue, my lord; it was their own choice. The learned counsel then contended that with regard to the pieces of land alleged to be owned by the plaintiffs, not one of the rights claimed by them had been established by itself; and that the learned judge in the court below, in deciding the case, had taken the strength in evidence of one oase to make up the deficiency in another. At this stage the court rose. The hearing of the appeal was resumed on Thursday. Mr Jelf, Q.C., continuing his argument in support of the appeal, submitted that each one of the pieces of land must be taken alone in order to see whether certain occupiers had common rights over it. The plaintiffs had obtained a certain class of wit- neeees to come and say that they took turf and sand from the common in regard to which the present action had risen. That evidence, which was of a ragged nature, would not support their case, and so pre- vent the defendants from allowing a fac- tory to be built on the land in question. Lord Justice Rigby: But you do not deny that the plaintiffs have a perfect right to take up all the evidence they can ? Mr Jelf said that was so, but his observa- tion meant that the evidence showed that the yhad not got a strong case, especially when they put only one plaintiff in the box at the triatf. > He wished to emphasise the fact that that particular witness knew the least about the case of any of the plaintiffs. In conclusion, Mr Jelf contended tne plain- tiffs' case had not been made out in respect of any one of the pieces of land or in respect of any one of their alleged rights, and th Lt judgment should have been entered for the defendants. Mr Parker followed on the same side. Mr Rawlinson, Q.O., in support of the judgment in the court below, said that the plaintiffs in this case relied upon certain facts which showed that they were entitled to certain rights over the two commons, and recemt Pegal proceedings in 1868 showed that if any owner or occupier in either of the three parishes adjoining the two com- mons exercise common rights on one he was entitled to exercise those rights on the sec- ond common. Owners and occupiers who paid quit rents to the Crown in respect of the three parishes named had been entitled to common rights over the two commons, and all of the plaintiffs in this case paid quit rents to the Crown. There were entitled to pasture rights for sheep and cattle,'and to turf and furze for litter and manure in vir- tue of their paying quit rents to the Crown. All the four plaintiffs were occupiers or owners who paid those quit rents. Lord Justice Smith inquired whether it had been proved that the plaintiffs paid quit rents to the Crown ? Mr Rawlinson said that had been proved at the trial. Mr Jelf said that was so; he admitted the proof of this. Mr Rawlinson said that at the trial he called two owners of the farms and a part owner of a third farm to establish this fact as to the payment of quit rents to the Crown. The evidence showed undoubtedly that rights of common were exercised by some persons for thirty years before the Jegal proceedings taken in 1868, and since then those rights had not been disturbed. Where there was evidenc3 on both sides, as in this case, he thought that their lordships would be inclined to take the view of the learned judge in the court below, who had heard the witnesses. At this stage the court rose. On Friday, judgment was delirered. !:0.r1 Justice Smith. or1 the conclusion of the arguments on both tins was an appeal from Mr Justice Wright, who had J tried the case in London with Welsh witnes- ses and an interpreter. Why the plaintiffs brought the action there he could not under- stand all he could say was that if an appli- cation had been made by the defendants to have the action tried on circuit it would certainly have been-acceded to. Mr Justice Wright had found for the plaintiffs, and had granted an injunction restraining the defendants from doing certain things. The case was tried without a jury, and the de- fendants asked that the judgment might be set aside. Upon what legal ground could they ask that, assuming the case had been tried before the jury? Having read the summing up of the learned judge he was of opinion that he had never read a more per- fect direction of law than had been given in this case, and he defied any judge on the bench to give a more accurate direction. There being no misdirection as regards the law he came to the complaint of the appel- lants that the action was not really brought by the plaintiffs for themselves, but that it was brought by them at the instance of some lodging-house keepers to prevent the defendants from building an explosives fac- tory upon the locus in quo. There was ab- solutely no evidence of that, but if he were asked whether it was probable he should say that it was; because he could not con- ceive a more objectionable thing to lodging- house keepers than an explosives factory;, but as there was no evidence in support of the allegation it could not have no effect upon the case. Here they found an ancient common of about 1300 acres; there was some sort of evidence given to show that it was a common from the time of Edward 1. but whether it was or not he did not know. At any rate, it had been a waste., for many years. About 1868 the then Bishop of Ban- gor set up certain claims over the common, and the Attorney-General of the day, on be- half of the Crown, agreed that the matter should be referred to arbitration, the par- ties not being able to agree on a special case for the opinion of the Hiprh Court. The re- sult was that both parties were awarded by the arbitrator a portion of the land, specifying that they should both give up the rights of the soil. In 1882 the defendant, Mr Thomas, purchased' 700 acres of the waste land at £ 1 an acre, showing that it was not very valuable. Having done that, he erected a house upon the land and also put up a fence. That brought up the ire of the owners of the land surrounding the common, and in 1884 an action was brought in the Chancery Division, and it lasted until 1888, when Thomas submitted to judgment. The result of that judgment was to give the plaintiffs in the action the right of common over the locus in quo. In 1897, Thomas sold a portion of his land to the Welsh Ex- plosives Company, whereupon the present action was brought in the name of the four plaintiffs, and they set up that they were entitled to have rights of common in the locus in quo, and the question the Court of Appeal had now to determine was whether there had been evidence to lead the learned judge below to come to the conclusion that they had those rights of common they claimed. It was suggested by the defend- ants that their evidence was misconceived and did not apply to the present case. But with that contention he could not agree. In his opinion there was plenty of evidence to establish "the rights which the plaintiffs claimed. Mr Justice Wright was therefore right in his finding on the evidence and ab- solutely correct in his application of the law to the facts, and his judgment must there- fore be upheld on every point, and the ap- peal dismissed with costs. Lords Justices Rigby and Collins con- curred.
A Cemetery for Bethesda.
A Cemetery for Bethesda. MEETING OF RATEPAYERS. On Friday evening, a public meeting of the Bethesda ratepayers was held at Oefn- faes Board School, to consider the advisa- bility of applying for powers to provide a public cemetery. In the absence of Mr H. Thomas, chairman of the District Council, Mr George Brymer was electecl to the chair. He stated that that meeting was called to consider the advisability of having a ceme- tery at Bethesda., and: Mr R. B. Evans,clerk to the District Council, reported1 that some time ago the Government Department had ordered the Glanogwen churchyard to be closed, with the exception of certain graves which had not been filled. The District Council thereupon waited upon the vicar of Glanogwen, and as a result that gentle- man had placed himself in communication with Lord Penrhyn, who had offered him two acres of land for the purposes of a. ceme- tery, on which land it was intended some time or other to erect a church. There was a desire, however, in some circles for a pub- lic cemetery, and the District Council had referred the matter to the ratepayers.-Ibe Rev W. O. Evans spoke strongly in favour of a free cemetery, and dwelt upon the heavy charges made for burial, and the diffi- culties experienced by Nonconformist minis- ters who desired to conduct funeral services in the churchyard.—The Rev H. Williams, curate, contended that if the Council at- tended more to the sanitary requirements of the district there would be less necessity for discussing the requirements of the dead. The streets of Bethesda were in a disgusting state, and what with the improve- ments already in contemplation and the cost of the new cemetery, the rates would amount to 10s or 14s in the pound. He (Mr Wil- liams) was very much in favour of an eight, foot wall round the cemetery, so as to keep children, &c., from climbing over.—Mr John Jones, bookseller, remarked that he had been living at Bethesda for the last 24 years, and, although the walls around Glan- ogwen churchyard were only five feet high, he had not heard of anybody going over and disturbing the dead (hear, hear).—Mr R. Morris said that what was done by the boys of the neighbourhood was a disgrace; they even went to the churchyard to play foot- ball.—Mr B. Thomas made similar remarks, and added that it was true that the vicar received the burial fee, but who was to keep the churchyard in order, &c?—The Rev R. Rowland's, Treflys, observed that there was not even a footpath in the churchyard, and the only way people could go from one grave to another was by treading upon the graves of their friends ("Shame"). He never saw a churchyard that was being kept in such a bad state.—The Rev John Owen, B.A., Ger- lan, gave the result of his inquiries to the costs of burial, Ac., at places where ceme- teries were situated, and compared the same with the charges at Glanogwen. Twentv eight funerals would cost at Glanogwen JE30 16s, whillst ate the four places—Penygroes, LIardwropr, Llanllvfni, Rnd AberdovA-y-thev would only cost P,15 6s 6d. Mr Owen had inquired into the charges at these four ceme- teries. He proved that, taking 100 burials per annum as an average, a sum of £ 55 would be annually saved in burial fees.—Mr Twigsre Ellis maintained that a public cemetery would be very expensive, and that Lord Penrhyn would probably charge them 9100 per acre for the land.—This assertion, how- ever, was accented, and it was reported that Lord Fenrhyn had not. vet been approached. It wa.s also stated thnt the burial rate in dis- trict.s similar to Bethesda was about U-d in the pound, and that the total rates of the district. at present were only 3s in the popnd, which cleared all the expenses of Vical government, and the repayment of the loans.-A poll of the rateoavers was decided uporr, to take place next Saturday.
A REMARKABLE STORY.
A REMARKABLE STORY. The following facts were obtained at first hand and are wholly accurate and trust- worthy. The story has no .likeness to the numerous wonder tales which have no bet- ter foundation than gossip and imagination. The occurrence, should it prove to be true, was deemed of so great importance that a special messenger was detailed to visit the spot with instructions to inquire carefully and thoroughly into every point of the case; with the understanding that if his investiga- tion bore out the statements earliest made, a sufficiently full account was to be pub- lished for the information and benefit of the public. His report being clear and satis- factory, a condensed summary of it is here given: It seems that a respectable family named Skinner resides at 34, High street, Banbury, Oxon. In the summer of 1895 a son, Wil- liam Skinner, now about eighteen years old, met with an accident a heavy fall, such as might happen to anyone. Fortunately no bones were broken and his friends naturally expected he would soon get over it. But he did not. Instead of recovering his strength he became weak and irritable. Al- though there was no injury calling for sur- gical interference, the lad's system appeared to be profoundly shaken. His appetite, previously robust, as with all healthy fellows of his age, grew poor and fitful. The at- tempt to build him up on food was conse- quently a failure. The liquid food, of which he took a limited amount, had no effect. He gained no strength from it. In spite of medical treatment young Skinner lost flesh at a frightful rate, his bones threatening to protrude through the skin. The condition of his nerves was equally peculiar and alarming. He was constantly twitching and to- tally unable to sit still or to remain quiet. Bad as his experience was by day he was al- ways worse at night. He obtained so little material sleep that the doctor was obliged to administer sleeping draughts a course which no medical man. adopts when it can be avoided. When awake, so great was the poor boy's nervousness, that he could not endure to be approached or spoken to. The very sight of him is said by the neighbours to have been a pitiable one to witness. People who called to see him out of sympathy and to otter any services they might be able to ren- der, were of one mind; thev said hA enii](I not) possibly recover. Looking upon her son s deplorable and apparently hopeless state his broken-hearted mother said "I pray that God may take him." Yet merciful death did not come to his re- lief. For over two years he lingered on, sometimes a trifle better, as was believed, anu then relapsing into its former condition. The local doctor diagnosed the disease at St. Vitus' dance, and treated the patient for several months on that theory ot the case; unhappily without good result. In view of obtaining the highest medical opinion of this mysterious affliction the lad was then taken for examination at the National Hospital, London, and afterwards admitted to the Banbury Hospital, where he remained three months, with no material improvement; the physicians' judgment being that there was no hope for him. Thus nearly a year went by. In May, 1896, his indefatigable mother who fought for her offspring as only mothers will on a letter of recommendation took the poor stricken boy to the Convalescent Home at Eastbourne, and then again to the National Hospital in London, with no better outcome than before. On his return home William Skinner was to all appearance a complete wreck, his mind being quite un- hinged. He was tenderly replaced in bed, as much dead as alive, and there remained, virtually a breathing corpse, month after month, season after season. His inherent vitality, his unconscious hold on life, sur- prised all who saw him. But plainly, the end could not be much longer delayed. Events now bring us to September, 1897, when the unexpected happened, as it so often does. A friend of the family, Mrs Jewell of Sibford, called. In conversation on the boy's illness she urged the immediate use of a remedy known as Mother Seigel's Syrup, telling what it had done for her husband at a time when other treatment was unavailing. On this advice Mrs Skinner acted, taking responsibilities upon herself. In a short time w..en the sufferer's desperate state is considered there was a marked improve- ment. He could eat with some relish, the food causing no distress or reaction. Other medicines were entirely laid aside and dependence placed on this alone; but the result justified this seemingly rash proceed. ing. Little by little the lad gained strength climbing, so to speak, from the verge of the grave. As his body rrrew stronger his mind cleared and brightened. To the amazement of friends and physicians in two montns time no was able to leave the house and go about. At the date of this writincr. February 4, 1898, William Skinner is in robust health, and his terrible exper- ience of the past two years is but a fast-fad- ing memory. His mother insists that his life was saved by Mother Seigel's Syrup, and nobody of the many who followed the case from the start is inclined to dispute her opinion. With a frankness which does them honour several of the doctors concede the marvell- ous cure, and say that probably the lad's fall caused a shock which produced a profound disturbance, almost amounting to an over- throw, of the digestive functions, which in turn reacted on the nerves the fons et origo mali being the digestion. The remedy alluded to removed that at the last possible moment and recovery followed.

The School Attendance Problem
The School Attendance Problem THE ILLEGAL CASUAL EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN. At the request of the West Yorkshire Dis- trict Union, the Law Committee of the Ex- ecutive of the Union instructed' their solic- itor to obtain counsel's opinion as to the le- gality of the employment of children for odd half-days as errand boys, &c. Having regard to the importance of the subject, we have been asked by the Executive to give publicity to the full text of the opinion — OPINION. "I gather that my opinion is sought: I (1) As to the legality of the casual employment of children who are neither totally nor partially exempted from at- tendance at school; and (2) As to the authority whose duty it is to institute proceedings against persons who illegally employ such child- ren. "In my opinion, the employment of such children during the recognised school hours is illegal, even although such em- ployment extend to only a half-day in every week. "The Elementary Education Act, 1893, provides that if any person takes a child into his employment in such a manner as to prevent the child from attending school in accordance with the bye-laws for the time being in force in the district in which the child resides, he shall be deemed to take the child into his employment in con- travention of the Elementary Education Act, 1876, and -shall be liable to a penalty accordingly. (56 and 57 Vict. c. 51, s. 2.). "Bye-laws approved by the Education Department usually contain a clause stat- ing that the child shall attend school dur- ing the whole time for which the school shall be open for the instruction of child- of a similar age. "The person who employs a child illegal- ly is liable on summary conviction to a penalty not exceeding forty shillings. (48 and 49 Vict. c. 79, s. 6.). "A parent of a child who employs such child in any labour exercised by way of trade or for the purposes of gain is an 'em- ployer' for the purposes of the Acts affect- ing School Attendance. ( 9 and 40 Viet. c. 79, s. 47.). "In a district within the jurisdiction of a School Board it is the duty of that Board to institute proceedings for the en- forcement of the statutory provisions re- specting the employment of children il- legally in other districts the School At- tendance Committee is the authority upon which such duty devolves. "T. A. ORGAN. "20th October, 1898."
Electric Lighting at Colwyn…
Electric Lighting at Colwyn Bay TOWN'S MEETING. Mr John Roberts, chairman of the Dis- trict Council, presided over an animated town's meeting at Colwyn Bay Public Hall, on Thursday night, called to ascertain the views of the ratepayers with reference to proceeding with a complete scheme of public electric lighting. The chairman gave a re- sume of the proceedings up to the present time with regard to electric lighting. The temporary scheme on the promenade, he said, was a great success, but the Council hesitated to proceed with a fuller scheme without a strong expression of opinion in public meeting backing them up. Councillor Bevan moved "That this meeting is of opinion that the erection of electric lighting works at the ratepayers' expense will lead to a heavy addition to the rates for some years, and suggests that the Council should make terms with a private company to carry out their order, or wait a few years until reduc- tions in the rates shall have made it possible for the Council to do it themselves, and meanwhile, incandescent gas-lamps be pro- vided. Mr James Wood seconded. Mr William Davies moved as an amend- ment "That the Council be instructed to proceed with electric lighting forthwith, in accordance with the provisional order." — Mr Greenfield seconded the amendment. On a show of hands being taken 52 voted in favour of the scheme and 56 against. Thereupon Councillor Rev Thomas Parry proposed that the electric light plant already purchased for illuminating the promenade, but idle during the winter months, be util- ised for lighting the streets in the centre of the town. Mr Cline seconded, and on being put to the meeting this was carried by a large majority.
Dolgelley County Court.
Dolgelley County Court. This court was held on Saturday before His Honour Judge William Evans. The case of Griffiths v. Evans, which had been before the court on several previous occasions, was disposed of, the Judge granting the applica- tion of Mr Griffith Jones (instructed by Messrs Lloyd George and George) for a va- riation of the Registrar's certificate given on a former occasion, and' allowing the plain- tiff's claim in full without the deduction of £ 75 made by the Registrar, and also adding the sum of £ 869 to the estate. His Honour found that the sum of 9200 was due from defendant's husband to the estate, and that the sum of 4169 in the bank in the joint names of the defendant and the testator be- longed to the testator alone. — John Adams, surveyor, Barmouth, sued John Parry, Bar- mouth, for the sum of J66 lOs, being half of the amount of a judgment against Adams and Party in a case in which they were joint defendants. Mr W. George appeared for the plaintiff, and stated that his client had to pay the full amount of the judgment ow- ing to the defendant having no goods to be levied upon. Mr Pybus, on behalf of the defendant, contended that the claim arose out of an action of tort, and could not be dealt with. The Judge said, according to the law as it was taught when he learned it, this was not an action of tort, and gave judg- ment for the plaintiff. .r Pybus asked that this point should be reserved, but his Honour said he would have his portmanteau full of them if he reserved such points as that. He added that there seemed to be too much feeling shown in the case.

Death of a Local Doctor.
Death of a Local Doctor. The death, took place at Portdinorwic late on Friday night of Dr O. T. Jones, a well- known medical practitioner in the district, after a short illness. Dr Jones, who was 47 years of age, was at one time a member of the Carnarvon Board of Guardians, and was much liked on account of his kindly disposi- tion. His wife, who died some years ago, was a daughter of ex-Alderman W. P. Wil- liams, of Carnarvon.
Carnarvon Agricultural Show…
Carnarvon Agricultural Show At the Royal Sportsman Hotel, Carnar- von, on Saturday, an adjourned meeting was held of the Carnarvonshire Agricultural Society, under fhe presidency of Mr W. Ed- wards (Glasinfryn), when the Secretary (Mr Stythe) anounced! that the secretary of the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Society had written to state that the suggestion to am- algamate the two Societies would be submit- ted to the annual meeting next month. A letter was also received from the Lleyn and EuiOnydd Society to the effect that they could not invite the county show to Pwllheli next year, and that consequently there would be no advantage in receiving a de- putation upon the subject. A general dis- cussion ensued, in which subscribers ex- pressed views of a decidedly pessimistic character as to the future of the Society, it being pointed out that some of the leading members were absent, and others had in- timated that they would not act on the Ex- ecutive Committee. The Secretary, how- ever, said that the subscription list did not show much diminution on that of the last show. On the motion of Mr Robert Parry (Pwllheli), it was decided to adjourn the meeting, and Mr John Griffith (Bryn) gave notice to move at the next meeting the re- scinding of a resolution adopted at the last meeting that Carnarvon should be selected as the locale of the show next year.

"The illustrations and general get-up of the issue of 'Holloway's Almanac' for 1899 are particularly commendable, and it is not only a very attractive little book, but a use- ful one as well. In addition to a series of illustrated articles on the Pastimes of Many Nations, it contains several special features, besides all the information usually found in an Almanac; furthermore, every copy car- ries with it a Railway Insurance Policy for £100 for the whole year 1899. This Alman- ac, by the way, is sent free bv Mr Thomas Hollonay, 78, New Oxford street, London, to anyone who cares to send one halfpenny stamp for postage."

I Bangor and Beaumaris Board…
I Bangor and Beaumaris Board of Guardians. CLERGYMEN AND BURIAL FEES. At Friday's fortnightly meeting, Mr Hugh r Thomas (chairman) presiding, the report of the Committee appointed to go into the details of the new Vaccination Act waS brought up by Dr Roberts (Menai Bridge), and suggested (1) that the remuneration to the public vaccinators be the amount fixed by the Order; (2) that the amount to be paid to the medical officer of the workhouse be the amount fixed by the Order; (3) that the amount to be paid to the vaccination officers be the minimum fixed by the Order, expenses of postage included; (4) that the vaccination officers shall, previous to obtain- ing legal assistance under Article 29, consult the Board of Guardians and be guided by their recommendations. Dr Roberts was of opinion that the new Act was not fair to the medical' officers in country districts. The Clerk (Mr R. B. Evans) stated that under the new Act the fees paid to the vaccinators, would be very nearly double what was pre- viously paid. After some discussion it was decided to send a copy of the report to the medical officers to see if they would accept the terms. The Chairman congratulated Mr J. Evan Roberts upon his appointment to the Mayoralty of Bangor, and remarked that he was glad to see that the Mayors of Ban-or and Beaumaris were members of the Board. The following; communication was read: —"Pentraeth Rectory, Menai Bridge. I am requested by the Ruridecanal Chapter for the deanery of Tindaethwy to ask whether in view of the letter to the Board by the Local Government Board, in which it is plainly and rather naively laid down that clergymen and parish clerks are by Section 31 of the 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 101, entitled to fees customary in each Parish in burials of even paupers; your Board will in future al- low such fees to be paid. I am to add that the clergy of this deanery are, in case of such fees being refused, prepared to take such steps as may be necessary to enforce this j claim and will make the first case that may I occur a test case, but they would prefer an II amicable arrangement being arrived at,if pos- sible. I should be obliged for your reply.— Yours, &c., E. P. Howell, Rector of Pen- traeth." The Chairman I propose we ac- knowledge the receipt of the letter and no- thing else.—Mr Harry Clegg: I do not think that is a fair way of meeting the gentleman. I propose that we add a rider, stating that it is a matter of custom that the fees are not allowed, and if there is no such custom we cannot. pay them. Mr Chndwirlr seconded the rider, which was negatived on going to a vote. Miss Ellen Jones, was appointed as- sistant nurse at the workhouse.
