UNIVERSITY OF WALES. The Press Association learns that the object of the bill introduced by Mr Brvnmor Jones, on Tuesday evening, is to place the University of Wales on the same terms as London University and the Victoria University with regard to en- trance examinations for the various professions, so that for example the matriculation examina- tion shall be accepted in lieu of the preliminary examination for students who are becoming solicitors or who are going to the bar.

THE EISTEDDFOD OF 1900.1 The general committee of the Royal National Eisteddfod of 1900, met on Tuesday evening, un- der the presidency of Mr William Evans, J.P. Mr James Vcnmore, chairman of the musical t committee, moved the following recommenda- tions of that committee: -Competitions open to j amateurs only: Soprano solo, prize, three guineas; mezzo-soprano solo, prize, three guineas; contralto solo, prize, three guineas; > tenor solo, prize, three guineas; baritone solo, I prize, three guineas; bass solo, prize, three guineas; trio (S.

BRITISH MEDICAL ASSO- CIATION. I THE NORTH WALES BRANCH. l The intermediate meeting of the North Wales Branch of the British Medical Association was held on Tuesday at the Colwyn Bay Hotel. Dr H. V. Palin (Wrexham) presided over a good at- tendance, including Drs Price Morris (Old Col- J wyn), Lloyd Roberts (Denbigh), A. Eyton Lloyd (Rhvl), Jones-Roberts (Penygroes), S. Griffith (Portmadoc), J. T. Jones (Corris), W. W. Her- bert (Denbigh), R. A. Prichard (Conway), P. 0 Fraser (Carnarvon), J. Craig (Llandudno). E. Lloyd (Bangor), T. L. K. Davies (Llandudno), G. S. Davies, Lawson Tait (Birmingham), T. Jones (Llanrwst), R. P. Roberts (Bethesda), J. Evans (Carnarvon), O. T. Williams (Holyhead), W. M. Williams (Bettwsycoed), J. O. Jones (Llanfair, Abergele), H. Lloyd (St. Asaph), J. Roberts (Menai Bridge), and J. R. Williams (Conway). The Secretary (Dr Jones-Morris, Portmadoc) read the balance-sheet for 1898, showing total j receipts Cl30 10s 2d. After paying all ex- penses, there was a balance in hand amounting to JB20 16s 2d.-The accounts were passed. Dr Griffith, Portmadoc, moved a vote of con- dolence with the family of the late Sir W. Ro- berts, whose death was announced in the papers that day. There was no need to take up any time in dilating on Sir William's great abilities. They all remembered him as a distinguished Welshman and an extremely clever physician (hear, hear). Sir William read an admirable paper at their last meeting at Colwyn Bay. He was a most genial friend, and was ready to lend a helping hand in any difficulty. He moved that a letter of sympathy be sent to the rela- tives. — This was seconded by the President, who remarked that they had lost a great orna- ment to the profession. — The resolution was passed in silence. I The following were elected members of the branch:—Dr R. J. M. Buchanan, Liverpool; Mr G. W. Mould, Flint; Dr R. E. Lord, Col- wyn Bay; Mr T. B. Grimsdale, Liverpool; and Dr E. S. Yonge, Manchester. The following were elected members of the Association and branch —Mr J. M. Chambers, Llandudno Mr Bowen Davies, Denbigh Dr H. R. Griffith, Portmadoc; Mr G. LI. Jones, Pwllheli; Mr T. Jones, Amlwch; Mr R. H. White Jones. Bala; Mr J. J. M'Cheery, Wrexham; Mr W. G. Prit- chard, Bethesda; Mr E. Shelton Roberts, Peny- groes Mr R. E. Roberts, Portmadoc; and Mr J. B. Williams, Conway. Mr W. W. Herbert, Denbigh, read a paper j on "Peripheral neuritis," and Dr Roger Ed- wards, Colwyn Bay, one on "The right value I of different kinds of food in health and disease." Dr J. Lloyd Roberts, Denbigh, read a paper on "The proposed changes in the Lunacy Act," in the course of which, dealing with lunacy cer- tifying, he said that magistrates had different appreciations of their position in regard to al- leged lunatics. Some would not act without the presence of the clerk of their division, in which case the clerk was the responsible adviser. Some considered themselves as the supreme judges of the mental condition of the subject, and would not hesitate to put on one side medical certifi- cates. Others, again, were satisfied with a most cursory glance at certificates, and the briefest view, if any, of the subject. With every con- sideration for the "liberty of the subject," and at the same time of the best interests of patients suffering from incipient insanity or of those tem- porarily afflicted, an expert mind was certainly required in making up seclusion certificates and orders. Too great a responsibility would ap- pear to rest with the magistrate, and it was one from which he should be relieved. As a remedy he would suggest that to each county there should be appointed—say, by quarter sessiom-I one medical practitioner of experience, who I should be called upon to certify every case of lunacy occurring in the county, and to sign the I reception order. Dr Moule, Cheadle, said that he could not support Dr Lloyd Roberts's proposition that a medical man should be appointed to act for a county. In many cases, it would be impossible for him to see the patients in cases of urgency. Dr Prichard said it would be extremely awk- ward if the proposed medical officer lived at an inconvenient place. With reference to the magistrates, he never found any difficulty. The justices generally trusted to the medical men, who, as space was valuable at the North Wales Asylum, were very careful. He did not think Dr Roberts's proposition was feasible to the country practitioner. The President agreed that it would be im- possible to appoint a medical man to act for a county. He should not like to have a violent lunatic at Holt, and have to send to Llanrwst for a doctor to come and see him before removal was possible. Dr Lloyd Roberts said that the North Wales branch happened to be the first that had met since the Lunacy Bill was really put before Parliament. He thought they ought to make their voice heard, and pass a resolution such as Dr Moule proposed to frame. Dr Moule then moved —"That in the opinion of this meeting the proposed new lunacy bill is of such grave importance not only in the de- tention and treatment of the patients, but to the general public, and with regard to the principal clauses there is such great divergence of opinion that it is very desirable that the bill should be referred to a select committee, who would obtain evidence and report to Parliament, and that the members for North Wales be asked to support this resolution in Parliament." Dr Lloyd Roberts seconded this, and it was carried. Papers were also read by Dr J. E. Gemmell, Liverpool; Dr Rushton Parker, Liverpool; Dr J. Elliott, Chester; and Dr H. Briggs, Liver- pool.

CARNARVON BOARD OF GUARDIANS. SATURDAY.—Mr T. W. Williams presiding. THE LATE MR T. E. ELLIS.—The Chair- man said that he took that, the first opportunity, of expressing the feelings of the guardians in face of the great loss which the nation had sus- tained at the death of Mr T. E. Ellis. So many able men had recently spoken of his great value to the nation, that he did not intend to make a long speech. He would just say how sorry they all felt that he had beep called away in the middle of his days, after'having attained a high position in tlio land, by sheer force of character and perseverance. He also moved a vote of con- dolence with the young widow and the bereaved parents of the deceased statesman.—Rev D. Coll- wyn Morgan seconded, and said the whole country admired the splendid pluck and the ex- cellent character of Mr Ellis. They had lost a man who had commanded their respect and ad- miration, whose example many in Wales would follow, and though there were many like him left behind, Mr Ellis was head and shoulders above them all.—The motion was then unani- mously carried, all the members rising to their feet in token of respect. WISHING GOODBYE.—Mr J. M. Williams said that that was the last meeting at which they would have Mr and Mrs Jones, the master and matron, present, and he thought it would only be right that they should mark their apprecia- tion of the very excellent services they had ren- dered during the many years they had served them, and a hope for their future success.—Mr T. Owen, Rhuddgaer, seconded, and said they- came from Anglesey, and were therefore bound (' r to be good (laughter).—The Rev Owen Williams, and the Chairman, having spoken to the same effect, the motion was carried, and the Master brieflv returned thanks. THE HOUSE.—The Master reported the num- ber in the house to be 100, as compared with 86 during the corresponding period of last year, and added that 72 tramps had been relieved during the last fortnight, 5 admitted, 13 discharged, and 4 died.—Mr R. B. Ellis called attention to the fact that the new master and matron would commence upon their duties next week, and they would not have the services of Miss Jones, who had been so useful to Mr and Mrs Jones. He thought it would not be fair that they should start under such disadvantages, and suggested that the visiting committee should visit the house as soon as they arrived.—After some dis- cussion, it was resolved that the committee should meet at the house on Thursdav. CALLED FOR HIS RESIGNATION. — The Clerk read a letter from the Local Government Board, enclosing a letter which they had sent to the rate collector of the parish of Llanrug (Mr J. R. Roberts), calling upon him to send in his resignation in consequence of "the grave irregularities he had been guilty of," and which had been reported by the auditor.—Letters were also read from the Local Government Board ap- proving of the appointment of the new master and matron, and the porter, but calling attention to the fact that they should pay to the guardians the cost of the maintenance of their children, and that. it was not advisable for the children of the master and matron to live at the workhouse after they had reached 14 years of age. PRESENTED WITH A LEG.—The Clerk read a letter from Mr C. A. Jones, relative to the case of a young man, named W. H. Jones, who had had the misfortune to lose his leg, stating that he had succeeded in getting the Surgical Aid Society to provide this young man with a new leg, so that he would not became a burden upon the rates.—Mr W. Thomas pro- posed that a vote of thanks be accorded to Mr C. A. Jones for the trouble he had taken.— Captain Jones Williams seconded, and said that this was not the first time for Mr Jones thus to save the ratepayer. VACCINATION.—Mr Daniel Thomas sub- mitted his report upon the neglect of parents in his district to have their children vaccinated, in the course of which he said that during the last month, 175 had been successfully vaccinated, and that 15 or 20 more had been vaccinated, but the doctors had not reported upon them. He asked for another month to complete the work.—Mr W. J. Williams, in moving the adoption of the report, said that he was very glad to hear that it was so favourable.—Mr F. Roberts seconded, and the motion was carried. TENDERS.—The tenders for the forthcoming half-year were opened, and accepted as follows tle —Mr J. Owen, Castle-square, tea, sugar, and candles; Messrs Lake and Co., flour, cheese, butter, etc.—Some discussion took place relative to the price of the butter, which was 10|d, and it was said that Irish butter had been offered for 11ld per pound.—Mr Menzies said that he had voted for Welsh butter, because he thought it was dearer and better. He doubted whether it could be obtained at the price.—Mr J. M. Wil- liams proposed, and Mr R. B. Ellis seconded, that they should have Irish butter, because they thought it would be better than the Welsh.— Mr H. Parry said that Welsh butter was far and away better than Irish, and it could be made to be sold at a profit, retail at the price men- tioned. They could buy Irish butter at sixpence a pound if they wished, but they would find that it was butter which would be condemned. -On a vote being taken, only four voted for the Irish butter, the remainder going strong for the Welsh, amid much laughter.—The tender of Mr Thomas Davies, Bangor-street, was accepted for coffee that of Messrs G. B. Thomas and Son for potatoes; Mrs Owen Evans for coal, and Mr Gwenlvn Evans for printing and stationery. WINE FOR THE PAUPERS.—During the examination of the bills due for payment, it was noticed that there was an item of £8 15s for wines and spirits for the house.—Mr H. Parry said they ought to can the attention of the doctors to this, for it was a big item for three months.—-Mr Ellis Roberts It amounts to JB55 per annum.—The Clerk said it was only given according to doctors' orders—Mr Henry Parry: I beg to move that we call the serious attention of the doctors to the matter.—Mr W. Owen se- conded.—Mr W. J. Williams said they had called attention to it more than once. Just now, however, there was a good deal of illness about, and he did not object to intoxicants as a medicine, any more than to any other drug.—Rev Owen Williams said they always attended to it. It was generally given on the doctors' recom- mendation.—The motion was then carried. THE FINANCES.- The Clerk said that there was a balance of j31500 in the bank. — The estimates for the next year were very similar to those of the corresponding half of last year, and he thought that a similar rate of Is in the £ would meet them.—On the motion of Mr R. B. Ellis, seconded by the Rev D. Collwyn Morgan, it was agreed that a Is rate should be made.- The statement of accounts for the half year ending the 25th of March, as compared with those of the corresponding half of the last two years, were submitted. The total cost in 1898 was J36912, and in 1899, JB7047. The cost of the maintenance of paupers in the house in 1899 was J6595, and in 1898, L771 outdoor relief, Carnarvon district, L1272 and Cl221 Llan. dwrog district, £ 1352 and £ 1189; Llanrug, £ 1298 and £ 1320; Llanidan, £ 607 and £ 605 in the asylum, J3636 and £ 545; salaries, etc., £ 714 and J3660. It should be mentioned that there were 26 weeks in the last half-year as against onlv 25 weeks in 1898. THANKING THE CHAIRMAN. — On the motion of Mr W. M. Roberts, seconded by Mr J. W. Roberts, a vote of thanks was accorded to the chairman for presiding during the year.

NORTH WALES COUNTIES LUNATIC ASYLUM. ANNUAL MEETING OF VISITORS. THE DISPUTE WITH THE DENBIGH CORPORATION. The annual meeting of the committee of visi- tors of the North Wales Counties Lunatic As- ylum was held at Denbigh on Monday. The visitors present were: Denbighshire, Mr A. O. Evans; Flintshire, Mr P. P. Pennant, Mr W. Jones, and Dr Easterbv; Carnarvonshire, Dr R. Jones Morris, Mr J. T. Roberts, and Mr W. J. Parry; Anglesey, Dr E. P. Edwards and Mr D. Rees; Merionethshire, Dr R. Roberts and Dr R. Hughes; representing the subscribers, Messrs T. G. Dixon, T. G. Edwards, P. E. Story, and R. E. Hughes. CHAIRMAN AND OFFICERS. On the motion of Dr Easterbv, seconded by Mr D. Rees, Mr Pennant was unanimously re- elected chairman for the ensuing year. Mr W. Barker was re-appointed clerk, on the motion of Dr E. P. Edwards, seconded by Dr R. Roberts. The Clerk reported that the following changes had taken place in the representation of the five counties:—Denbighshire, Mr C. K. Benson in- stead of Mr T. Parry; Carnarvonshire, Mr W. J. Parry instead of Dr Wynne Griffith; An- glesey, Mr J. M. Prichard instead of Mr T. W. Jones. The house committee was then appointed as follows :—The Chairman (ex-officio), Messrs Gold Edwards, T. G. Dixon, J. M. Prichard, J. W. Lumley, A. O. Evans, W. Elwy Williams, W. Jones," W. J. Parry, E. Jones, Dr Easterby, Dr E. P. Edwards, and the Hon. Charles Wynn. On the motion of Mr W. J. Parry, seconded by Dr Jones-Morris, Mr W. Jones and Dr Eas- terby were re-appointed auditors, with the thanks of the committee for their past services. The house committee was also appointed to constitute the building committee. The Chairman, Mr Dixon, and Mr P. E. Story were re-elected the farm committee. THE MAIN SEWER. The next business was to receive resolutions from the five County Councils in union with re- ference to the proposed new sewer. The Chairman explained that the committee had requested all the County Councils to ap- prove of their action, and to intimate their ap- proval to the Local Government Board. They wanted the sanction of the Local Government Board to borrow the necessary money for the construction of the sewer, and they also wanted the County Councils to press the Board above to give their sanction without delay. The Clerk stated that the County Councils of Denbighshire, Merionethshire, and Carnarvon- shire had already done this, but he had received nothing to that effect from Flintshire and An- glesey. It was decided that the clerk should commu- nicate with the latter Councils on the subject. With reference to the proposed scheme for lighting the asylum buildings with electricity, the Clerk reported that the scheme had been adopted by the County Councils of Denbigli- shire, Merioneth, and Carnarvon. Nothing had been received with reference to the matter from Flintshire, and the clerk of the Anglesey County Council had written stating that his Council had deferred their decision until the Anglesey mem- bers on the asylum committee had reported thereon. THE ESTIMATES EXCEEDED. A letter was read from the clerk of the Car- narvon County Council, to the effect that that Council had, after a great deal of demur, de- cided to approve of the scheme for lighting the asylum, but at the same time wished to .express its great dissatisfaction at the continual appli- cations of this nature, and he was directed to ask for a full estimate of the expenditure in con- nection with the enlargement of the asylum. The Chairman said that the committee of visi- tors had sent to all the County Councils an esti- mate of all the works it was proposed to under- take in connection with the enlargement, and at the bottom of the estimate there was, in brack- ets, a note to the effect that the furniture and lighting were not included so that the proposed call in connection with the lighting of the pre- mises was nothing new. But as the full esti- mate was given upwards of two years ago, he thought the time had arrived when it was de- sirable that the committee should revise it and see how they stood. He, therefore, felt inclined to propose that it be an instruction to the build- ing committee to go into this matter, and to present a report to the next quarterly meeting, with the view of submitting the same to the various County Councils. I Dr Jones Morris pointed out that the original estimate for the water supply was only JB8500, and they all knew very well that this sum had been exceeded. What the Carnarvonshire Coun- ty Council wanted to know was how much had this and the other estimates been exceeded. The Chairman said the clerk had been good enough to submit to him a revised estimate, but it should be carefully examined by the building committee. Mr J. T. Roberts said that the representatives of Carnarvon would find themselves in a diffi- culty unless they were in a position to place be- fore the County Council at its next meeting an estimate showing the maximum figures, which would not be exceeded. He would, therefore, suggest that the matter be dealt with at once by the visitors. It was ultimately decided, on the motion of the Chairman, that the building committee be instructed to prepare a revised estimate of the whole expenditure in connection with the en- largement under every head, and that the same be sent to the County Councils forthwith. Replying to Dr E. P. Edwards, the Chairman said that the buildings, when completed, would provide accommodation for 955 patients, not in- cluding temporary accommodation now utilised. The building committee was empowered to ob- tain tenders for the electric lighting of the as- ylum, the same to be submitted to a meetiHg of the visitors to be convened for the purpose of entering into the contract. THE PATIENTS. The Clerk submitted a return showing the number of pauper patients from each county on the books at the present time, as follows —Den- bigh 193, over quota 1; Flint 152, over quota 26 Anglesey 80, under quota 2 Carnarvon 177, under quota 15; Merioneth 82, over quota 2. Total number of patients, 684; net over quota, I 12. The draft annual report of the committee, drawn out by the chairman and clerk, was sub- mitted and adopted. It was stated that the highest number of patients on the books of the asylum, including those boarded out, oc- curred in March this year, being 685, the high- est number in the two previous years being 658 and 630 respectively; whilst the highest number eleven years ago (in 1888) was 555. This indi- cated an average increase of over 2 per cent. per annum as the rate at which increased accom- modation had to be provided, the increase hav- ing been accelerated in later years. Referring to the enlargement of the asylum, the report stated that the works were at present completed to the extent of one-third. The laundry, baths, engine and boiler houses, and male attendants' quarters, were in an advanced state, and would be ready for use as soon as the main chimney- stack was finished. The waterworks had pro- gressed in some respects rapidly, but in others slowly. The whole of the pipes had been laid with the exception of a few hundred yards in the tunnel near the reservoir. THE DRAINAGE. The Clerk reported that the contract for the new system of drainage was ready for signature, and would be signed on the receipt of authority, which might be expected almost immediately ■Kw <IK .fK. ><IK. Jfl..Jttv A..11*A. .0IIII. _8IiI. from the Local Government Board. The Den- bigh Town Council had been requested to pro- vide a sewer into which the sewage of the as- ylum might be turned, but they declined to do this unless ordered by the Local Government Board. Accordingly, the Local Government Board were now being pressed to make an order to this effect. The asylum was within the bor- ough of Denbigh, and when the present exten- sion works had been completed, it would repre- sent a very large part of the whole borough in population and ratable value. Unless these re- quirements were fulfilled, the asylum, though contributing so large a portion of the sanitary rates, would be receiving nothing in return. The original estimate for the extension of the premises was JE80,000, or, including the expense of lighting, £ 84,624, and there seemed reason to believe that this would not be very greatly ex- ceeded.

ON BEING ALL RIGHT. Most of the male passengers kept saying, "We're all right. Oh, yes, we're all right." But were we ? That depends on what is meant by all right. We were not sinking, and there was no leak. Neither was the vessel on fire. The sea was now moderate, and we rolled gently on it like rock- a-by-baby-on the-tree.top. Our bridge and fifty feet of our starboard railing had not been carried away, as they commonly are in newspaper accounts of marine troubles. We were right so far. But we could not be all right, because the ship did not move; and we wanted to get to Liverpool. The engines had not made a revolu- tion in the last twelve hours-a record easily beaten by any South American republic. From the bowels of the ship came a sound of hammering and shouting, as if the big craft were suffering from some sort of congestion that was being treated surgically without anaesthetics. There were lots to eat in the well-furnished Atlantic liner, but the people seemed to feel less enthusiasm than usual when the bugle tooted musically for meals. Conceding that we were making only about two knots an hour (all drift, and in the direction of Cape Town), the optimistic gentleman afore- said continued to urge the women not to worry, telling them we were all right. The next morning the ship (as the American hoodlums tersely put it) "got a move on." A slow, dull move, though, it was—about half speed at best, with intervals of stoppage, as if the surgeons were administering to the machin- ery liberal doses of stimulants and beef tea. We arrived at Liverpool nearly three days late, without having lost a life or a leg. So far, again, we were right; yet not all right. Several passengers had fretted themselves into a state of nervous prostration, important appointments were missed, letters were delayed, and a hun- dred other things had got mixed and jumbled up. Now, my beloved friends, it is not the ship or the man that goes limping and stubbing along- getting somewhere finally, in bad form, that is "all right." To be all right a fellow must do his work-all of his work-and keep up with the procession. How many of you are really all right ? Take an inventory of your stock and assets, and tell me. Here is Mr J. A. Royston, of Sheffield. He was not all right; didn't pretend to be. Yet, as he says, he managed to keep going, and under the circumstances, was pardonably proud of that. He was all right up to October, 1887. Then came the breakdown. "At that time," he says, I began to feel heavy, tired, and weak, without understanding the reason why. At first I had a foul taste in the mouth, and my tongue was coated with a yellow fur. A deal of phlegm continually gathered in my throat and mouth, which I was compelled to strain to eject. I had a sense of sickness or nausea, yet seldom actually threw up the contents of the stomach. I did not relish my food at any time, and was often so set against food as to be unable to eat anything at all. When I did eat a scanty meal the act was followed by pain and a sinking feel ng at the stomach. A hacking cough troubled and shook me, as if I had some ailment of the chest or lungs. All my nights were more or less disturbed, and for weeks together I did not obtain more than three hours' sleep in twenty-four. I lost flesh until I was two stone under my proper weight. Never- theless, I struggled on with my business as best I could, and although never well, I managed t J keep going. Sometimes a bit better, and then down again to my old level, yet never seeing a well day, I went on for fully ten years. No medicines I had used in all that time did more than relieve me for the moment. Then on the recommendation of Mr Clayton, the chemist at Wicker, I began using Mother Seigel's Syrup. It did me good within a week. I continued using it, and steadily improved. In less than a month I had no more pain, and could eat anything I wanted, with no distress to come after. With my increasing strength the cough abated, and soon ceased altogether. In less than six months after I took the first dose of Mother Seigel's Syrup I had back my old weight, and with it the indescribable and invalu- able blessing of perfect health. After ten years of pain and mental despondency from dyspepsia and liver complaint I was all right at last. You are at liberty to print this letter if you like, and I will gladly answer any inquiries. (Signed) J. A. Royston, 260, Infirmary-road, Sheffield, November 25th, 1898." Mr Royston is well known and respected in Sheffield, where he has been in business many years. He was, away back in '80, in the army, having served in the Afghan campaign with credit and honour. But his illness is of a much later date, and probably was in no way attri- butable to his experience as a soldier. For his complaint makes more havoc in time of peace than guns and sabres do in war. There is no making a treaty with it that would be worth the paper and ink. As I have said, few people are all right," but only partially right, and the reason is more often dyspepsia and liver ailment than any- thing else. Why, Powers Above! I wonder how any one of this world-full of dyspeptics would feel if he were actually and truly all right" for a week. 'Let him try Mother Seigel's Syrup and find out.

In the Chancery Division on Saturday, before Mr Justice North, the case (in re Williams) of Perry v. the University College of Wales was heard. The matter had been previously before the court, which was asked to decide a question arising under the will of the testator as to whether a legacy of L1500. and certain books be- queathed to the University College of Wales could be taken by that body. The testator by his will bequeathed to the college his library of books and a sum of J31500, which he directed should be applied to founding a scholarship to be taken by a person of Welsh nationality, and being a person who was not either a Unitarian or a Roman Catholic. When previously argued a point was made as to whether the college could take the gifts without complying with the accompanying conditions, but his lordship held that they could not, and that therefore the B1500 fell into the residue of the estate and went, in accordance with the terms of the will, to the trustees of a Congregational chapel at Aberystwyth, who were the residuary legatees. At the request of the college authori- ties, however, the judge allowed the matter to stand over for a month to enable them to con- sider whether they would accept the gift subject to the conditions.-On Saturday, Mr Justice North declared that the gift of J31500 to the college failed and formed part of the residuary estate.
