At Friday's meeting a. letter from Mr Ganilin, solicitor, was read as follows —"Mr Hughes has handed me your letter to him of the 31st ult. Inasmuch as he has done no- thing, in my opinion, to warrant your Council calling for his resignation, he, upon mv advice, declines to resign his appointments under your Council." The Council resolved to moot on Friday to consider the situation, aind to ask the Surveyor in the meantime to hand in his books to a committee.

MONOGLOT INSPECTORS IN WALES In the House of Commons, on Wednesday, Mr Rees asked the hon. member for South iSomemd, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether the Government inspector recently sent to Montgomeryshire to report upon sheep dipping was acquainted with Welsh, in many cases tfie sole, and in most cases the chief, language of the hill farmers. Sir E. Strachey: The inspector to whom my hon. friend refers is not acquainted with the Welsh language, but he informs me that no difficulty arose in consequence. Our in- spectors are always able to rely on the assis- tance of the local police, and it is only in ex- ceptional cases that persons with whom they .are brought in contact are unable to speak or understand English. Mr Rees asked, if the Welsh-speaking inspec- tors would be employed as far as possible. ,Sir E. Strachey Of coarse, if possible. But, as I have explained in this case, no incci- venienoe arose.

SHOCKING DEATH OF A NORTH WALES SEAMAN The Liverpool coasting steamer "Moss Rose" wa.s lying at Hayle. (Cornwall) on Monday, of last week, and in the evening two members of the crew named Owen Wm. Owen, aged 36 years, residing at Garston, near Liverpool, and stated to be a. native of North Wales, and another man named Nelson, went ashore for fhe purpose of making purchases and to spend the evening. They returned to the ship at about 11.30 p.m., and 'Nelson got on board in safety, but while Owen was ascending the ladder he slipped and fell. Nelson caught him by the fee* and held him up for a time, but as no help was at hand he was obliged to re- linquish his 'hold, and the unfortunate man fell head foremost between the ship and the quay, his head striking the belting of the ship in his fall. The crew were aroused by Nelson, and Owen was quickly taken from the bottom of the dock, but he was found to be dead, hav- ing 1<1 severe cut across his head. At the in- quest held at the Passmore Edwards Institute, Captain Robinson and Seaman Nelson gave evi- denoe bearing' out the above, and the jury re- turned a verdict of "Accidental death," add- ing a rider "that the owners be asked to pro- vide a proper gangway for access to the ship." The funeral of Owen took place at Phillack on Wednesday last.

MAYORAL ELECTIONS. BEAUMARIS. At a meeting of the Beaumaris Council on Friday, Councillor W. T. Williams proposed that Councillor J. H. Burton be re-elected Mayor for the ensuing year. Councillor W. R. Jones seconded, and Coun- cillor Burton was unanimously elected. The Mayor acknowledged the honour in ap- propriate terms. On the motion of Alderman Sir Richard Bulkeley, Bart., seconded by Councillor Hugh Thomas (junior), a vote of thanks was accorded to the Mayor for his services during the past year. The Mayor appointed Councillor F. Geary to be Deputy-Mayor for the ensuing year. The usual salaries were voted to the Mayor and officials of the borough. Mr Thomas Hen- der was appointed harbour master. Councillor W. M. Griffith proposed that no member of the Council should be appointed, on more than-two committees, but found no se- conder. Councillor W. M. Griffith thei* proposed that the Finance Committee cocsist of five members. Alderman Richard Bulkeley seconded, but it was lost, and eventually all the committees were re-elected. Alderman Sir Richard Bulkeley called the attention of the Council to the decrease in the number of the members of the fire brigade, and Councillor W. J. Thomas, who was a member, stated that the brigade did not receive the support it de6erved and required from the Council, especially as regards equipment. Councillor W. R. Jones, a former ca.ptain, supported Mr Thomas, and after some further discussion, the Mayor intimated that he would devote his salary for last year for that or any other purpose which the Council decided, a statement which was received with acclamation. At the conclusion of the meeting the Mayor entertained the members with the customary refreshments. THE MAYOR AT CHITlCH.

MR LLOYD-GEORGE AND THE ALLEGED "SOAP TRUST." j In the House of Commons, on Monday, Mr Ciiiozza Money has asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a soap trust or combine has been formed iii tiie United Kingdom which controls lull 7o per cent. of the entire soap trade of the country, that as a result the small independent soap firms are at this moment in great danger, that lite soap trust has temporarily reduced its prices while raw niat-Giicils are. advancing in order to crush competition, and if he can see his way to take steps by legislation or other- wiee to protect the public from private mono- poly in this case. Mr Lloyd-George, in a printed reply, says: I nave seen statements in the press to die effect that certain manufacturers of soap have entered into an agreement with a view to effecting economies in working and for other purposes, but I am not able to say what pro- portion of the soap trade of this country is carried on by the firms who are parties to this arrangement, or whether the position of outer firms °has been injuriously affected. 1 have seen reports of changes in price as stated, in the question, but I have no official informa- tion as to the cause or objects of such changes. I have in reply to a previous question informed my hon. friend that the Board of Trade are fully alive to the importance of such matters, and will watch carefully the effect of these combines on the trade and industry of the country.

CARNARVON FISHERMEN'S GRIEVANCE ADDING TO THE UNEMPLOYED. SUPPORTING THE MEN'S PETITION* TO THE CONSERVATORS. At a meeting of the Carna-rvon Town Coun- cil, on Friday evening, a letter was read from Mr Beriah G. Evans, acting as secretary of the newly-formed Carnarvon Net Fishermen s Association, asking the Council to support a petition addressed by the association to the Seiont, Gwyrfai, and Llyfni Board of Con- servators, rrequesti'njg, thleir consideration of certain regulations prohibiting net fishing in the Menai Straits for about six months in the year The regulations, it was pointed out, imposed an unnecessary hardship upon titue men and their families, and threatened the ex- teinction of an old-established local industry. Councillor R. Gwyneddon Davies moved that the Council ask the Board of Conservators to reconsider the regulations and to receive a deputation from the Council. The Counail had just been considering the question of the unemployed, and thte other day the Harbour Trustees were considering the same question. He ventured to think that the Board of Con- servators had also considered the question, but wit,h a different result. They had considered how beet to add to the number of unemployed during the winter. At least that was the prac- tical result of the regulations adopted by the Board. The Council ought to take up the case of the fishermen, becausie they were differently situated to most workmen. Printers, tailors, and others had strong unions at their backs, but the fishermen until recently, when a small association was formed, had been quite dis- organised, and it was the duty of the Council ,a to see that their interests did not suffer. The regulations were alleged to have been framed by the Board, of Conservators to protect the sport of angling more particularly, but if it was to be a question between sport and men's livelihood, then sport must go to the wall (hear, hear). They knew that the fishermen had only the hare means of existence at the best, espe- cially in winter, and they had to struggle hard to keep 'themeselves and their families, and to deprive them of the right which they now claimed was to do away with the narrow mar- gin between a bare existence and utter desti- tution. As the result of the regulations the number of unemployed had been increased. The question was one which affected not only the fishermen, but the Council as the sanitary authority. The supply of good, fresh fish was restricted, and the inhabitants were thrown back upon foreign fisb which was brought a long distance by rail, and, therefore, did not conduce to the. health1 of the residents. More- over, the question affected Carnarvon in the light of industry. Although there was not in Carnarvon a large industry, there, were several small industries, and if the regulations of the Board of Conservators were carried out to the full, one of these would be extinguished, and what would become of the men and their families was a question that he would not care to answer. He believed that the fishermen were fully justified in asking the Council to support their petition to the Board of Con- servators. Councillors Carter and T. H. Edwards rose at the same time. Councillor Carter (to the Mayor) Who* bas eauirht your eye first ? The Mayor I think Mr Carter has not had a turn. Councillor Carter seconded the motion, but said that he did not agree wi'd] all that had been said by the proposer. He believed that the Board of Conservators had been actuated by the best of motives, namely, the protection of the salmon fishery, but they never realised the effect which, the regulations would have as framed. They were all ajlad to hear that there was every disposition on the part of the Board of Conservators to meet thie men, and be be- lieved that the result of that. little agitation would, be that the Board would modify their bye-laws and so remove the great grievance which the men had (hear, hear). He believed that the Board were prepared to concede to the fishermen to some extent, and that the men were not going to ask for everything. Councillor T. H. Edwards said there were two reasons why the Council should support. the fishermen. According to reports received since the regulations were passed net fishing had not improved in the Straits., and that was a. strong reason why the particular bye-Jaw to whidh objection was taken should be with.- drawn. He had also been told on good autho- i rity that the bye-law was illegal, and that unless there was a change its legality would be contested. He strongly supported the motion, and hoped that the Council would do all in their power to help the fishermen to earn an honest penny during the trying months of winter (hear, hear). Councillor J. T. Roberts remarked that he was in sympathy with all that had been said. Some twelve months ago he was professionally encraged for some of the fishermen, who were prosecuted under the particular bye-law with regard to which complaint was made. It was his opinion that the bye-law was bad, because it included the. whole of the Straits from Aber- menai to Garth, whereas it should only in- clude such portions as were within a limited distance, about 200 yards, of the estuaries of the rivers. Unfortunately, the. men had no money to enable tihem to pursue thie ea.-e further and have the decision of the High Court on the matter. At. present the bye-law was so framed that,fisherniep- could not do any net fishing even in the day time, and if they went on the sandbanks on the other side of the Straits, where it cannot be said that there is salmon, they would be liable to be prosecuted under the bye-law. If no change was made in the bye-laws he should like to see a sub- scription list opened in order that the men should contest 'the point. Should there be another prosecution he hoped the magistrates would be 'bold enough, to dismiss the sum- mons, and put the obligation of contesting the matter rurther upon the Board of Conserva- tors. Alderman R. Parry, though agrceinsr with all that 'had been said, thought if they were going to a.sk a favour the least said the better (hear, hear). The resolution was passed, and a deputation, consisting of the Mayor, Messrs R. G. Davies, H. Lloyd-Carter, P. Angel, and Mr M. E. Nee, was appointed to wait upon the Board of Conservators.

CARNARVON AND DISTRICT I TEACHERS The annual meeting of the above Association was held at Carnarvon last Saturday, Mr Beuno Jones, the president, in the chair. The meet- ing was well attended, one of the features of the leathering being the cordial welcome ac- corded to Mr Gaudin, M.A., headmaster of the Carnarvon County Schools, and Mr Rees-Fos- ter, B.Sc., headmaster of the Llanberis County Schools, on ioining the N.U.T. The members heartily thanked the hon. secretary, Mr W. J. Williams (BonUiewydd) for the valuable services rendered by him during the past year; also Miss Crowther (Carnarvon) for her praise- worthv efforts on behalf of the Benevolent and Orphan Fund. Mr -N-icholls (Plumstead) and Mr Hamilton (London) were unanimously no- minated vice-president and treasurer of the N.U.T. Executive for 1907, and Mr T. J. Williams (Bangor), Mr Evan Davies (Barry), Mr Jas. Williams (Swansea) and Miss H. Wil- liams (Cardiff), in the order named, were no- minated as the four representatives on the fLondon Executive from Wales. Mr Lloyd (Llanrui:) was unanimously elected vice-presi- dent of the Association for the coming year. It was resolved to give every support to the proposed testimonial to Mr Tom John (Rbon- dda), ex-president of the N.U.T., for his setr- vices to eduica-tion in Wales. Mr Williams (hon. sec.) then gave an interesting account of the proceedings at the conference of Welsh Teaohers held last September at Shrewsbury. The members afterwards entered upon a dis- cussion of the proposal of the County Educa- tion Committee to reduce, in 1908, the maxi- mum age for sitting the County Entrance Schol- arship Examination from 14 to 13. The teaoh- ers in the elementary schools present opposed this proposal without, at the same time, snb- stantially reducing the present syllabus. It is "rumoured that the secondary sohool teachers did not agree. I.

STEAI.ING A GOLFER'S BOOTS At the Bangor Petty Sessions on Tuesday, David Jones, Bangor, was charged with steal- incr golf balls and boots. Mr D. G. Davies, Bethesda, defended. Supt. Harris prosecuted for the police. Sergeant Jones said he had charged the de- fendant, on November 5th, with stealing balls from the golf links during the time he was there in service. Defendant replied that he used to pick some balls up on the links, and sell them to the members. The only one he took from the stores he gave back to Mr Lloyd, when he asked for it.-Defendant pleaded not guilty to stealing the golf balls.—Mr D. G. Da-vies said that it was of the weakest cases he had ever heard in his life.-The Chairman said they wanted to hear no more, and they dis- missed the case. The action taken by the club was quite justified, and there was a great deal of suspicion attacheo to the defendant. The defendant was also charged with stealing a pair of golf boots, the property of Dr Price.—Supt. Harris said that defendant said he had found the boots on the pleasure grounds adjoining the golf links.—Defendant pleaded not rruilty, but admitted pawning the boots. He said he found the boots at the top of the pleasure grounds, at the side of the wall,-a Ion? way from the golf hut.—Mr D. G. Davies said the defendant had been suffering from want, and his intention was to redeem the boots as soon as ho got employment, and return them to the- police or someone. The man and his family were practically on the verge of starvation. He submitted that there was no theft. The Chairman said that he was sorry for defendant, but there was no necessity to steal to get food in this country. The Bench was unanimous, and fined him 2& and costs or 14 days.

=Z7_- A QUESTION OF RIGHT AT CARNARVON At the Carnarvon Borough Police Court, on (Monday, before R. Thomas, lEsq., and other magistrates, John 'Roberts, of the Mona Hotel, was summoned by the police for obstructing mone the highway. xl Supt..Griffith, who prosecuted, said the offence consisted of allowing market cars to be placed on bbe pavemeitt in Shirehail-street, out- side the hotel. Complaints had been lodged with the police by people living in the street. Mr H. Lloyd-Carter, on beha-li of the de- fendant, set up a. bona fide claim, of right, which, he maintained, was sufficient to oust the jurisdiction of the magistrates. Shixehall- street was one of the oldest streets, and the Bulkeley Arms, now the iMona HoItel, one of the oldest taverna in the town, From time iM. memorial the occupiers of the IBulkeley Arms had exercised the riglit to place vehicles on their property, subject to the rights of the" public to use thait very property when it wa.s noi otherwise used by the occupier. At the time of the re-building of the premises, the street was widened, and tthe pavement and the channelling, co-extensive with the building, w'er e made at the entire expense of the owners of the property. What was now the pavemenlfc at that point, was formerly a part of the hotel premises, and fwas not included in the dediQa-ion !to the public. Unable to provide sufficient ac- commodation inside the yard on a market-day, all the tenant did was Ito place vehicles on the pavement, right against his own wall, a prac- tice that had been going on from time im- memorial. Griffith Williams, shipwright, 81 years of age-, said that ever since he could remember carts were placed on the pavement outside the Bulkeley Arms. (Supt. Griffith said that there had been com- plaints also that horses were harnessed and un- harnessed in the streatt. iMj Rowland Lloyd Jones, architect, sub- mitted plans pasised by the Corporation at the time of the re-building of the premises, and said that the width of the street from curb to ourb, varied from 12ft. to 14ft. by the hotel. The IBemch dismissed tie case.

MARRIAGE OF MR J. JONES MORRIS, PORTMADOC The marriage was solemnised at the Welsh Congregational Chaped, Grtove-street, Liver- pool, on Wednesday, of Mr J. Jones Morris, fourth son of the late Mr W. E. Morris, Port- madoc, and Miss Helena J. Hughes, eldest daughter of the late Captain Wm. Hughes, Ceylon Villa, Portmadoc. Both are well- known and most highly esteemed in the town and neighbourhood, and the greatest interest was taken in the event. The officiating minis- ters were the Revs D. Adams, B.A., and John Roberts, B.A. (C.M.). The best man was Mr T. E. Morris, barrister (brother to the bride- groom), and the bridesmaids were the Misses Emily and Jenny Hughes (sisters of the bride) and Miss Gwen Morris, daughter of Mr Daniel Morris (nephew of the bridegroom). The bride was given away by her brother, Mr David Hughes, London, and the "Wedding March" in the meantime being played by Mr Harry Evans, Liverpool (late of Dowlais), in the presence of a numerous assembly of friends, etc. Lunch was partaken of at the L. and N.-W. Hotel, in Lime-street, and the customary toasts were proposed and accepted with great enthusiasm. Amongst those present were Mr and Mrs Morris, Mr Jr. E. Morris, the Misses Hughes, Miss Morris, the bride- groom and the bridesmaids, Mrs Husrhes, Ceylon Villa (mother of the bride), Mr D. Hughes (brother of the bride), the Rev John ,Roberts, B.A., and Mrs Roberts, David-street (brother-in-law and softer to the bride), Mr Emrys Hughes (brother to bride), Mr Daniel Morris and Mrs Morris (brother and sister-in- law to bridegroom) and.

The presents were numerous and costly, and included gifts from the Carnarvonshire County Council, Merioneth- shire County Magistrates, the Carnarvonshire and Merionethshire Education Committees, Denbighshire Asylum .Committee, Poi'tmadoc Freemasons, Festiniog Police.

THE PLASNEWYDB LITIGATION LORD N'EWSOROUGH v. WYNN. I DISPUTE SETTLED. {Special for the "Herald.") The action brought by Lord Newborough I against his uncle, the Hon. F. IG. Wynn, was settled on Thursday in London. The case came before Mr Justice Neville in the Chancery Division of the Hgh Court of Justice. Justice. Upon it being called on, it was at once stated that the parties had come to an arrangement. A big array of counsel were in Court, the plaintiffs being represented by Sir !E. Ca.rson, K.C., Mr -Butcher, K.C., and Mr Bovill {in- structed by Price, Francis and Co.), and1 the defendants by Mr Warmington, K.C., Mr Upjohn, K.C., and Mr Tanner (instructed by Duncan and iSons, agents for Jones and Ro- iberts), and Mr Levett, K.C., and Mr Jenkins, K.C. (instructed by Patterson and Snow, agents for Longueville, of Oswestry). Mr Warmington said I appear for the prin- cipal defendants and I am to say that the parties concerned have come to an arrange- ment which 1 think will be satisfactory to all parties. That an arrangement had been come to was all the more satisfactory becaiuse the parties were all related. Several charges of imputations had been made in the pleadings.; but they have all been ■unreservedly with- drawn. What I propose, therefore, to ask your lordship to do is to make an order staying all proceedings in the action, except so far as might be necessary to carry out the terms of the compromise that has been agreed to be- tween the parties. Sir Edward Carson said On behalf of the plaintiffs, I am very glad that a compromise has been arrived at, especially as the parties are all so nearly related. Mr Justice Neville I suppose the parties are all "sui juris." Sir E. Carson They are. It was never in- tended that any imputations should be made against the defendants but if from the plead- ing it appeared that any had been madte, I wish most unreservedly to withdraw them. Mr Levitt said I appear for the second de- fendants, the trustees; and I wish to say that my client has done everything that ho should have done to protect his trusts. By a mis- take, it was thought that part of estate went in one way, when, as a matter of fact, it went another way. The trustee has appointed a solicitor who spent four days in going through the deeds. The compromise having been come to, I have nothing to do but to consent to the proposed order. His Lordship, in making an order staying all proceedings, said I am very glad that the matter has turned out as it has.

NEW YORK GOVERNOR WELSHMAN APPOINTED. COUSIN TO THE NEW PASTOR OF MORIAH, CARNARVON. The election of the Governor of New York State took place last week. and more interest than usual was taken in the contest. The can- didates for the governorship were Mr Wm. Randolph Hearst, the millionaire newspaper proprietor and pioneer in American yellow press journalism, who stood for the Democrats, and Mr Charles Etvan Hughes, lawyer, Re- publican. The latter was. elected by a ma- jority of about 55,000. The new Governor is a Welshman, the son of the Rev David C. Hughes, D.D., a native of Monmouthshire. Dr Hughes left home when 15 years of age. Apprenticed to the printing trade at Merthyr, he worked for some years as a printer at the British and Foreign Bible Society in London. Before he. left Glamorgan he commenced to preach with the Wesleyan denomination, and in America he was pastor of a church at Scran- ton and elsewhere. His son, Mr Charles Evan Hughes, was born in Glen Falls in 1862, and graduated at the Brcfwn University, Provi- dence, taking up law as a profession. He first came into prominence in American politics during the inquiry into the gas scandals, and subsequently took a keen and lively interest in the exposure of the insurance scandals in the States. The new Governor has several relatives in Wales, among whom may be mentioned Mrs Rogens, WToodville-road, Cardiff ,• Alderman S. N. Jones, J.P., Newbridge, and his sister, Mrs Rhys, wife of tlhe Rev J. Emlyn iRhys Mr J. R. Hughes, formerly a member of the literary staff of the "Herald," Carnarvon (now of Birmingham), and the Rev Howell Harris Hughes, B.A., B.D., Blaenau. Festiniog, who has received a call to the pastorate of Moriah C.M. church, Carnarvon, vacated by the Rev IEvan Jones. Mr Charles E. Hughes is the senior partner of Hughes, Rounds, and Schumann, Broadway, New York. His splendid conduct of the pro- s,ecultion of the insurance frauds last summer brought him before the public, and won him the nomination.

At the Carnarvon Borough Magistrates' Court on Monaay, before R, Thk>mas Esq., Elhaabeth Bond, Crown-street,, was charged with the unlawful wounding of a neighbour named Jane Ann Flynn, on the 26th October. SUlpt. Griffith prosecuted on behalf of the police and Mr Richard Roberts defended. Supt. GlrIffith rose to make the usual opening statement. ° Mr R. Roberts immediately interposed wit'h an objection. No police officer, he said could claim the privileges of an advocate. An ad- vocate could make an opening statement, and then call evidence to support it. A police officer prosecuting was not entitled to do more than call evidence. e ■Supt. Griffith I shall only give the facts. Mi Roberts I say that we should go to tihe evidence straight. The Magistrates' Clerk (Mr C. A Jcner,) It has always been the practice in this Court for the prosecuting police officer fo make a sta-tement. Mr Roberts It, is not done in any other Couirt. Although a police officer lays informa- tion he has no right to make a statements. A consultation was held between the Bench «fcnid their Clerk, a.fteT" which the Ja-Et-er" advised the prosecuting superintendent to call his wit- n.e6Sf>s. The romrplainant, sa,id that defendant called at complainant's houise the worse for drink. She was several times requested to leave, but refused, and when at last she was pusfhed out she struck complainant, who felt that some- thing had penetrated her arm. Findir- that blood was flowing- from her arm, she hit de- fendant with a stone, and the latter retaliated by striking her in the same arm with a piece of slate. Dr Parry said complainant had a (ivound in her arm about 3! inches Jong and 2 inches deep, which may have been caused by a eharp- eddied instrument. Mr Roberts This woman has be £ p drinking during the time she has been under vour case? Dr Parry: Tea? (laughter). Mr Roberts No, something stronger? Supt. Griffith: When the case was called a. fortnight ago, it was sa.id that the woman was too drunk to appear. Mr Roberts does not care what he says. Mr Roberts (warmly) I ca,re as much as you do. The Chairman We are Kere to judge the evidence placed b« £ «re Tie. Mr Roberts Us it, right that this, officer sbouild say that I don't care what I sav? I defy him or a.ny other man; to sa.v that I say anvthinT T cannot prove 111 evidence. Sunt. Griffith Mr Roberts said so in one-n Court. Mr Roberts: I shaH prove it. Mv instruc-1 tions. were that she was too drunk to come into C^nrf. that day. Dr Pa.rrv, in replv to Supt. Griffith. said that 'he saw the com!T>lain.ant between 10 and 11 o'clock on the morning of the darv she should hpve appeared in Court, but she was too weak to tt-end. She was not under the influence of drink. The defendant was fined 10s and coets.

LAND TENURE MR ELLIS DAVIES'S PROPOSAL, On Wednesday, the House of Commons re- sumed the consideration of Land Tenure Bill as amended by the Standing Committee oo Trado, In the course of the debate, Mr Ellis DavieS said he hoped the Government would not ac- cept the amendment moved by Sir F. Ranbttry, restricting the compensation to be paid to a tenant disturbed unreasonably. The effect of the amendment would be to lessen the valua of the clause for compensation for disturbance.. Even the amendment of the Solicitor General went too far, and if the present amendment were accepted the clause would be well nigh worthless. Even Mr Walter Long admitted! tlyt where tenants were capriciously interfered with by thieir Landowner a they «ai» covUtUd to be compensated on a liberal scaJe. Yet isomo 'hon. members doubted whether cases existed when landowners turned their tenants out foe political or religious reasons. If hon. members really believed what they said then they were ignorant of the history of even recent- years in Wales, and were certainly ignoring the report of the Welsh Land Commission. If a. tenant. be disturbed he should have real compensation, not merely the expense of removing from one farm to the ofiber. H'is loss was not the ex. pense of removinig or the cost of sale- only, The majority of the Welsh Land Commissioners, including the President of the Board of Agri- culture. estimated the loss at a. sum equal to one-fifth of the tenant's capital. Even the minority, including such a well-kwown Tory, as Lord Kenyon, recommended that the sum should be at least equal to a year's re-nt. for, when a tenant was compelled to leave his farm he IOlSt, not only the possibility of reaping tha full value of the improvements effected bv him, but a.lso what was equally valuable—the result of the knowledge which he had acquired as to the best method of cultivating that particullax. lalnd (loud cheers). Sir F. Banbury's amendment was reiecled bv 353 votes to 83.—Government majority. 270.
