1 °* — AN AGGr.le.VtU MAH) SAYS SHE HAP TO SLEEP AMONG RATS. AX INTERESTING CASE FROM THE FEN-Y-PASS HUiEL. An interesting case Was heard in the Car- narvon County Court, before His Honour Judge Moss, ou Monday, when Clara Bar- jiarU, Brolly, Salop, a domestic servant, sued Owen Rawson Owen, landlord of the Pen-y-Pass Hotel, near LLanbevis, for 9-5 iLb. oci, ôoaw., wages and aainagKs for wrongiul dismissal. 4 Ml J. T. Roberts, who appeared for the •planum, said that ius client engaged to go to tne Pen-yT'ass Hotel as a pantrymaid at a salary at the rate of ;t;2U per allUUm. ae hadoeen there irom the oth to the 25th of August, when the cleteiziant, who hao toia 11 er many times to go, ordered her to pack up her box and go, and on tne ioll-^iiig uay, upon being again ^Idre-.ed ia abusive lauguage, she *e,t the ho s • There were, .Mr Kooerts remarked, reasons "whicli justilied her in leaving. She and another domestic servant slupt in a build- ing apart from the hotel, wnich was infes- ted with rats, and between it and the cow- house, there was only a wooden partition. (Rats carried their soap away, and one of the women was also bitten by a rat. The plaintiff, in the course of her evid- ence, corroborated the opening statements as to the character of the place she slept in. It was damp and infested with rats. She made no complaint to either th& defendant or his wife, because they would have merely Gworn at her. She had not previously served as a pantrymaid- It was untrue that she neglected her work. Agnes Sharps, who was employed as a chambermaid at the hotel for ten weeks, de- scribed the hut where the domestics slept as "unfit for human beings." The defend- ant swore at her. Two canons staying at the hotel heard the language used by the defendant, and one of them found the wit. ness another situation. Her ear was bitten by a rat. A nurse and the defendant s two children occupied the hut. Mr Allanson, (who appeared for the de- fendant), remarked upon the importance of the case to the defendant. It wag not. a. mere action for wrongful dismissal due to a misunderstanding, but such conduct had fceen alleged as would disgrace the common- est public-house, to say nothing of an .hotel -which had as good a standing as any hotel in the country. The house had been the headquarters of the English Climbing Club for some years. The action, he submitted, was entirely due to the incompetency and the negligence of the plaintiff, who, more- over had done her utmost to blacken the character not only of Mr and 'Mrs Owen, but also of one of her fellow-servants. Mr Owen was a total abstainer, and was not in the habit of using the language attributed to him. Florence Taylor, the waitress referred to, who lived at 'Wellington, Salop, said that during her stay at the hotel she was well treated, and neither the defendant nor his wife had used improper language to her. She slept in a bungalow apart from the hotel and after the first few days, when a rat troubled them, she had nothing to com- plain of. Clara Barnard, when she first came, said that she had not been accus- tomed to that kind of work before, and she knew that the defendant complained of her negligence. Cross-examined by Mr Roberts, said that the ha4 heard the defendant "Swear, but not at her. He, however, might have been swearing in Welsh (laughter). When a servant complained that she had been bitten by a rat, Mrs Owen said that the matter would have to be looked into. Witness admitted that six or seven servants had left Mr Owen's employ during the time she was engaged at the hotel. The defendant then entered the witness- box and warmly denied having used the language attributed to him. The luncheon dishes remained unwashed till the afternoon. The plaintiff was then standing at the win- dow, and upon his addressing her she said that she was thinking. He replied that she was always thinking, and that he could not pay her for it. "1 will go, then," the plaintiff said, and witness replied "Go," adding that she must re- membeT that she was going of her own accord. As to the hut referred to he said that visitors occupied it during a part of the year. Replying to Mr Roberts, he admitted having lately had much trouble with ser- vants. On one occassion the cook i,t drunk, as cooks did sometimes, and went down the Pass; leaving the house to chance (laughter). ) (Mrs Kate Owen, the defendant's wife said that the .plaintiff had not attended [properly to her duties. Witness added that she was not in the habit of swearing, but she would not say that she had never sworn. His Honour observed that the plaintiff might or might not have been attending to her duties, but all were agreed, more or less, that there seemed to have been a dis- pute about what happened. The defendant appeared to have been a somewhat hot-tem- pered man, and what happened apparently took place in the course of a few moments. Both parties lost their tempers, and both parties agreed to part. That being so, there did not appear to him to be a breach of contract, and the plaintiff was entitled to her wages. Judgment would be given for plaintiff for J31 13s 4d, one month's wages. His Honour allowed the plaintiff xier costs, but deprecated her action in seek- ing to cast aspersions on the defendant.

The Chairman (Henry Kneeshaw, Esq.) said that before the business began, he thought they ought to congratulate the county upon the completion of that building, which wag so well finished, and seemed to be so suitable for the purpose for which it was required, and only what one would expect in such a county as Denbighshire.

FINANCES OF LLANDUDNO MR. WILLIAM PRICE AND THE WORKMEN. The following are extracts from the re- port of lr. Williams Griffiths (district audi- tor) on the finances of Lrtandudno Urban Council for the year ending March 31st, ISOB There was a balance to the credit of the general improvement and highway fund of ±12,665. There was a balance of £1,066 to the credit of the electric lighting fund after transfer- ing from profits L4,56 tq the reserve fund and after crediting a contribution of £ 600 to the general rate. The balance to the credit of the gasworks fund amounted to £ 501, after transferring je951 to make good the deficiency in the waterworks fund, and £ 450 to the reserve fund, and E250 as a contribution in aid of the general rate. The amount in the gas and water reserve fund at the close of the year was £ 4,298. and in the electricllighting reserve fund £2,532 The amounts in the several sink- ing funds were: General, £ 7,018; water and gas, £ 4,637; electric light, £ 1,490. During the course of the audit applica- tion was made to the Local Government Board for their sanction to the following items of expenditure Cost of three sets of moorings, L27 17s 6d. Cost of illuminated addresses on vellum tq, the Hon. Whitelaw (Reid, the United States Ambassador, and to General Booth of the Salvation Army, £12 12s. The Local Govern.ment Board in their letter sanction- ing the said expenditure, stating that they "could not undertake to sanction any further expenditure of this kind." I found it necessary to disallow the follow- ing sums which were paid to the treasurer before the completion of the audit: Expenses of a member of the Council in attending Gorsedd meeting at Llangollen, £ 1 10fe" « +v. Cost of conveyance on the occasion of the funeral of the fete Mr. John Jones, Dinarth Hall, £1 Us 6d. Cost of refreshments supplied on the occa- sion qf the arbitration re Mostyn-broadway, 21. Portion of the expenses of members iff attending deputations, etc., 97 18s 6d. With regard to the deputation expenses, it, will be within the recollecton Qt the Council that at the previous audit I allowed only 15s per day, and disallowed the differ- ence between that sum and the sum charged, viz., 26s. 'Representations were made to me during the course qf the last audit by mem- bers and officers as to the inadequacy of the allowance when they were necessarily ab- sent from home overnight, and in view of these representations I based my disallowance this time on the following-scale 10s 6d per day when not absent from home at night, and J31 per day when absent from home at night was necessary. Mr. William Price, a ratepayer, called at- tention tq the action of the Council in pay- ing its workmen wages in respect of a day in October, each year. which has become to be recognised as a general holiday in Llandud- no. I found that the matter had been dealt with by the Council by resolution each year, but I am qf opinion that the proper course would be for the Council to specify by general resolution, what holidays the work- men in their employ will be entitled to in the future, SÜ\ that the workmen will be en- gasred on that condition. The work in the finance department has heen carried out in a most satisfactory man- ner, and the finances of the Council have been well managed, and appear to be in a sound condition.

LLANDUDNO BETTING RAID CASES BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES: A WARNING. William Martin, boot and shoe maker, Llandudno, was charged! at the local court, on Monday with keeping a ropm in Moon- street for the purposes of betting and Ber- nard Kirkham, a mechanic, was summoned for using the premises for betting. Mr. J. J. Marks prosecuted on behalf of the police, and both defendants pleaded guilty. Mr. Marks said that the police had Mar- tin's premises, a bootmaker's shop, under observation on the 5th and 6th of October. They saw sufficient to lead them to the con- clusion that the roqm was being used for the purposes of betting. On the 6th the police raided the premises, and found on Martin L14 10s in gold, some silver, and eight or ten postal orders, with memoranda fOjl." certain clients. The police had no in- tention of proceeding any further, at one time, against Kirkham, but they ifad found that he wasj acting as agent to Martin, and carrying bets to him. Martin tolid the police "liat he had been gradually drawn ,jizo it, and that his wife had requested hikn to give it up several times. In fact, he made a clean breast to the police. With regard to) Kirkham, he raised no difficulties. Martin said that at first four or five per- wru: came to him and asked Lim to put som money for them in the same place as he did, and he never thought that they would have increased to a dozen. He was now determined to put a stop to it. He was 38 years of age, and had resided in Lilandudno for about 12 years. -1 he Chairman, addressing Martin, said that the magistrates had taken into con- sideration the fact that he had given the police all the information he could. They afeq understood! he was a man of good character. But they were sorry to say that he had been led to ways which might have brought him to terrible grief, because they could send him to prison for six calendar months with- out the option of a fine. They had decided to take a lenient view of the case and fine him L3 and costs, and Kirkham would have to pay a similar penalty. Addressing Supt. Rees. the Chairman said .1 am sorry to learn from the evidence that there are a great many of these cases, I am afraid, at Llandudno. I now cautiqn all those who deal in these ways, which tend to injure the public moralls of the town. In future we shall not deal so leniently as we have done to-day.

HUNT FOR SPIRITS REMARKABLE TALE UNFOLDED AT LLANDUDNO TWO MEN COMMITTEE TO THE -SESSIONS. At Llandudno on Monday, John Carney, town porter, Council 'Street, and WiUiam Bennett Young, billiard marker, South View, Lloyd vStreet, 'Llandudno, were charged with burglariously breaking into the London and North Western Hotel on the night of November 11th. Mr J. J. Marks prosecuted on behalf of the police. P.C. Charles Ross said he was on duty in Mostyn Street. About 3.30 in the afternoon he saw the defendant John Carney, stand- ing outside the Royal Oak Hotel. He noticed a three half pint bottle of whisky in his coat pocket. Prisoner had, also, a brown paper parcel under his arm. Wit- ness asked him if he could account for the whisky he had in his possession, and prisoner replied that he got it from a man in Con- way Road. Not satisfied with the reply, the officer took him up to the Police Station, and found on him a three half pint bottle of brandy, which was packed in brown paper. He had, also, another bottle of whisky, a half pint tumbler, and a cork- screw. He asked prisoner to account for them. In reply he said "I bought them off a man in Conway Road for 2s 6d." Wit- ness found a skeleton key produced on prisoner. Carney replied, "I do not know where I got it." Witness then went down to the North Western Hotel, and along with the head porter, tried certain doors. The key opened the stockroom door, another door leading to the wine cellar, and also, the wine cellar door. On Friday, the 13th November, he arrested Young. Inspector Thomas Owen said that Carney made the following statement in the pre- sence of Young: -"On Wednesday night, the llth October, at a quarter to eleven o'clock, I was in the North Western Vaults, Young came there and handed me the key (produced) to go to the stockroom to sleep, and said that he would come to me later on. I went out of the Vaults and then turned through the door in Conway Road, the outer door, which opens in two parts was not locked. The stockroom door I opened with the key and let myself in, and I slept under a table until 12 o'clock, when Young came to me with a portmanteau. We both opened the next door with the key. The door led to the lobby of the wine cellar door, which we opened with the same key. We drank a bottle of champagne between us. Then, I made a parcel of four bottles —three of whisky and one of brandy. Young took 14 bottles and packed them in his portmanteau. We took them to the stockroom and locked the wine cellar door up. Young asked me to take the portman- teau to South View, at 7 o'clock in the morning. He .gave me his watch so as to know the time. He told me that he would give me a Is for taking them. He then went and left me. At seven o'clock I took them to South View. I was there by 7.30. I left the portmanteau in the passage in the care of Mrs Breese. At 9.30 a.m. I saw Young in the Vaults and told him that I had taken them to South View, and he gave me a Is." Young said, "It is a-11 un- true." Witness said, "Alright we shall go down and search South View." There- upon Young said, "I will tel! you the truth. It's him and I that did it. You will find the bottles hidden in an old barrel in the coal house at South View." He went down with P. C. Ross and found 16 bottles-14 of whisky, one port and one of gin-all in- tact—making 18 in all. Thomas Byrne, manager of the North Wf-stern Hotel, si id Younl was a billiard marker there before he came. He dis- charged him on Thursday morning, the 12th inst, for not attending to his duties. Both prisoners were committed to the Quarter 'Sessions.

;GAERWEN LIBERAL CLUB A correspondent sends us a long letter with regard to the "Gaerwen Liberal Club," and after referring to a matter upon which r we cannot enter here he proceecis The second point is this, "That the former old cottage had been let for another purpose, and that it was necessary to seek for a new home." Lady Reade had al- ready provided for a new home, and the door of that new home was sufficiently wide for entrance to all alike, the Conservatives side by side with Liberals, and Churchmen side by side with Nonconformists. How- ever, a meeting was hastily summoned in the old cottage about 10 o'clock at night. A great number of the members, myself amongst them, were entirely ignorant of it. The following morning it was ascertained that some of the members had been with the owner of another cottage negotiating about removing thereto. This was submit- ted before the few who weTe present, and the furniture and books, the pictures, and all things movable were carried away to the other cottage. This was done during the darkness of that Saturday night, after the hour at which the meeting was summoned. After such disregard of the kind feelings of Lady Reade towards the locality, is it not the height of impudence to petition her for a piece of land whereon to erect another building, avowedly to counteract the read- ing room which she had already presented the neighbourhood with? I believe, it is upon exactly the same leading principles, that the institutions of Llanfa-ethlu, Boded- ern, Cemaes, Newborough and Llangefni, have been established. Friendly feelings and praiseworthy co-operation prevail in these places, and why all this hubbub at Gaerwen ? In a locality such as this, is it not very wholesome to our village life to have such an institution, where every party and de- nomination can associate IKogalther—inter- change views and encourage christian charity? In one of your issues, you express sur- prise that Lady R-eade had refused land, and you suggested there must have been reasons unknown to the public for this. I believe the above explanation ought to be the mea-ris of removing your own surprise, as well as that of others and to clear the atmosphere a ,good deal. With regard to the proposed "Liberal Club" I cannot be- lieve it would be of any advantage to Lib- eralism in the neighbourhood under the present circumstances. An imperial spirit and haughty actions will not do in the present democratic age. Concerning my- self, I am far too advanced a Liberal to join a Liberal Club, whilst two thirds of the Liberals in the place, would remain outside of it and that for sufficient reasons. -Your, etc..

CARNARVONSHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE THE TEACHING OF TEMPERANCE PRINCIPLES. RECORD SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. The ordinary monthly meeting of +he Carnarvonshire Education Committee "vas held at the Education Offices, Carnarvon, on Thursday morning. Mr D. P. Williams occupied the chair, and the other members present were: Mrs Jones (Ceridwen Peris), Col. C. H. Darbishire, Messrs R. Davies, W. J. Parry, J. T. Jones, G. Hughes Ro- berts, R. Jones Roberts, Rev W. W. Lloyd, Rev O. J. Owen, Rev Ceidiog Ro- berts, Messrs John Owen, R. Roberts, R. B. -Ellis, R. E. Jones, Abel Williams, W. George, Maurice Jones, Hugh Owen, G. Roberts, R. O. Jones, J. R. Pritchard, Allanson Picton, Edward Roberts, M.A., Dr Owen, together with the Secretary (Mr Evan R. Davies), the Assistant Secretary (Mr David Thomas), and Mr L. J. Roberts, H.M. Inspector of Schools. RECORD ATTENDANCES. In moving the adoption of the report of the School Attendance Committee, Alder- man J. R. Pritchard (chairman) observed that although the attendance in the various districts was good, there was room for im- provement. He did not consider that the committee was being fairly treated, inas- much as there was often a delay in the mat- ter of the publication of monthly attendance sheets, for the guidance of the members. Three or four months had passed since any attendance sheets had been issued, and if the attendance had fallen somewhat, they must not iblame the committee. With the proper returns, they could not maintain their position—the best in Wales (hear, hear). They should bear in mind that he Itoss of a single point in the attendance in- volved a loss of £435. Mr Prit-chard then read out the list of w,hcois iij each of the county divisions which had been awarded the shields and certificates for attendance. The shields were awarded to the schoo!s in each dis- trict which held the highest records. The following are the names of the successful school s Bangor District: Llanfairfechan Non- Provided, Boys', 1; Glasinfryn N.P., In-] fants', 2; Glanadda P., Mixed, 3. Bethesda District: Carneddi P., Mixed, 1; Tregarth N.P., Mixed, 2. Llanllechld P., Mixed, 3. Bottwnog District:, Deunant P., Mixd, 1; Bottwnog N.P., Infants', 2; Sarn N.P., Mixed, 3. Carnarvon District: Dettws Garmon P., Mixed,1; Bontnewydd P., Mixed, 2; Car- narvon Roman Catholic, 3. Conway District:, Dyffryn Road P., Mixed, 1; Great Orme P., Mixed, 2; Lloyd Street P., Boys', 3. Eifionydd District: Cyfyng P., 1; Roe- wen P., Mixed, 2; B'laenau P., Mixed, 3. Llanberis District: Ceunant P. Infants', 1 Nant Peris P., Infants', 2; Cwmyglo P. Ifants', 3. Penygroes District: Nantlle P., Infants', 1; Bryneurau P., Mixed, 2; Penygroes P., Mixed, 3. Portmadoc District: Borthygest P., Mixed, 1; Nannor P., Mixed, 2; Morfa Bvchan P., Infants', 3. Pwllheli District: Rhydyclafdy P., Mixed, 1; Llanaelhaiarn P., Infants', 2; Aberer<ih, Junior Nfon-Provided, 3. In the course of the committee's report, it was recommended that a certificate be presented to Ivor Williams, a pupil in the Upper Bangor Church of England School, who had, with this year attendances, made eight years without a single absence. It was also suggested that a similar mark of the committee's appreciation be tendered to Evelyn Brown, a pupil at the Craigydon Council School, who had made a. complete record of ten years full attendance. The committee also recommended that the school attendance officers be supplied with counterfoiled book forms in Welsh and English to be sent out to parents. The report was adopted. THE COMMITTEE AND THE N.U.T. The Staff Committee submitted a letter which had been received from Mr J. H. Yoxail, M.P., the general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, with reference to the conference between the committee and the representatives of the Carnarvon- shire teachers, which took place on Thurs- day, October 1st. The letter stated that the teachers noted with satisfaction that the Education Committee did not intend in future to count upon the staff, teachers who were appointed without previous experience, and that the authority had agreed to safe- guard the position of any itea.cher who suffered from carrying out the directions of the authority. Further, that it was the intention of the committee to complete their gcalo of salaries by the inclusion of all certi- ficated teaclierp. The General Secretary added that he had been desired to ask that the committee iwould be good enough to take into imme- diate consideration the very important con- sideration of the extension of the scale of salaries by the inclusion of certificated teachers, as the fact that so many qualified teachers were debarred from receiving any increase of salary, together with the in- equalities spoken of at the meeting were causing much dissatisfaction in the county. The Staff Committee recommended that, with a view to encouraging the teaching of science and mathematics in the County Schools, the committee should, upon the result of the 1909 Central Welsh Btoard Examination, after awarding the five ordi- nary exhibitions, award to one of the re- maining candidates who in the opinion of the committee had done best in mathe- matics and physics, or in mathematics, physics and chemistry, a special scholar- ship of JE20. tenable for three years. The committee further recommended that where facilities were provided for the teach- ing of cookery, that the subject be made compulsory for girls in the upper standards, who were over 11 years of age. It, was announced that Mr Owen Own and Mr Hammond Robinson. Central Welsh Board Inspectors, had attended the meet- ing of the Staff Committee, and had dis- cussed matters arising out of the triennial inspection of the Carnarvonshire County Schools. The Chief Inspector was able to congratulate the Education Committee (,n the high standard of efficiency maintained in the County Schools. nnd he recom- mended that the committee should consider the advisability of increasing the number of centres at which the entrance scholar- ship examination is held. so as to include one or more of the elementary schools in the County School district. The recommendations of the committee were approved. | NEW SCHOOL AT GLANWYDDEN. The Building Committee submitted a letter from the Board ci -Education point- ing out that the erection of the new school I at Gianwydden on the site adopted would have as its corollary the need to provide a school for at least infants and Standard I. at Fydew, and they further pointed out that it ;\vas possible that the Denbighshire children who were provided for in the pre- sent estimates of the education authority, might have a school in their own area be- fore long. The Boai-d further suggested that the present provision should be for not more than 120 mixed and 80 infants, but that the scheme should be eo framed that the building would be capable of ex- tension in the future at a minimum of cost if the anticipated growth of the distric: should necessitate additional accommoda- tion beyond that now being provided. The committee had alto received a com- munication from the school managers urg- ing that the new school building should be proceeded with as soon as possible. The committee recommended that the scheme be amended in older to meet the requirements of the Board of Education. GYFFIX C. OF E. SCHOOL: AN ECCLESIASTICAL BARGAIN. A letter dated the 8th October, 1908, had been received by the sub-committee from the Board of Education enquiring whether the Authority were now in a position to submit proposals for providing additional school accommodation in the district of tn., Gyftin Church of England School. A letter had also been received from the Correspondent of the Gyffin School, in which he intimated that he would be happy in consideration of a liberal commission to offer to negotiate with the Ecclesiastical Autho- rities the purchase of a corner of this g'ebe whereon to build the Council School, pro- vided the committee undertook to make the like generous terms paid for the site of the new Council School at Penmachno. He trusted that the committee would not allow the opportunity to slip as the pro- mised Disestablishment Blill in the next ses- sion of Parliament might deprive them of a genuine bargain. A petition, signed by 45 parents and rate- payers residing in the Llangelynin and Gyffin districts, urging the Committee to make suitable provision for greater educa- tional advantages for the children of these districts, and it was recommended that the petitioners be asked to submit proposals with regard to suitable alternative sites upon which the new Council School, pro- posed to be built by the Committee, might be erected. The report of the Building Sub-Commit tee, submitted by Col. C. H. Darbishire, was adopted. TEMIPERANtCE READERS IN THE SCHOOLS. Mr. Abel Wikliams moved the following reboiutioii: iLnaL 111 view oi the learlui degradation brougnt upon our country by in- temperance in strong tiriiik, tins committee resolves that all stuioois under its control are actually suppled with temperance readers, forming one 01 the set of readers always supplied to our sciioois, with the view of groundmg our children in temper- cl ance principles during the ordinary -rea.(Ang ilessons. Mr. Williams observed that the new code I gave them to understand that the Govern- ment expected them to make temperance a subject to be studied in their schools. In his opiniton, the suggestion contained in the resolution would not involve any additional expense. All he desired was that out of the three or four readers which the com- mittee were under the necessity of supplying to the schools, that one of them should be & temperance reader. No additional work would be thrown on the teachers, because the book would be used in the ordinary course of reading lessons. Replying to the Chairman, Ir. Abel Wil- ijiams said that he wished to make it com- pulsory upon teachers to include a temper- ance reader among the books provided' for them. Ir. W. J. Parry seconded the resolu- tion. Mr. William George said that he heartily approved of the principle laid down by Mr. Abel Williams. There was no in- struction more important than temperance instruction to school children. The only question was that of the best way of impart- ing this instruction. Personally, he did not think that compelling the teachers to have temperance readers in the schools would be sufficient. He would propose, as an amend- ment, that the resolution should! be 'altered so as to read "that effective steps be taken forthwith, with a view to grounding our chil- dren in temperance principles, and that a sub-committee be appointed to draw up a sufficient scheme, and present a report thereon. The Chairman pointed out, that whilst temperance readers were used in only six schools last. year, the number had now reach- ed over a hundred (hear, hear). .Nifr., Abel Williams accepted Mr. Wil- liam IGeorgeis amendment, and this was carried unanimously. MANAGERS RESIGN. L The Secretary intimated that a communi- cation had been received from the managers of the Pant Glas Council School announcing that they had all resigned office, as a protest against the action of the committee with re- gard to the re-opening of the school. Ir. E. R. Davies They appear to think that the committee has usurped theik au- thority in the matter of fixing the date of the re-opening of the school'. A Member: The Building Sub-committee were under the ilmpression that they were acting in agreement with the local managers when they gave instructions in the matter. Ultimately, on the suggestion of the Chairman, it was decided to write to the managers asking them to re-consider their decisions.

DOLWYDDELEN LAW SUIT. In the Chancery Division, the case of "Lowe v. Ellis was mentioned by Mr Cave. who said he moved for an Order directing the plaintiff, Mr Lowe, to remove a wall which, it was said. he had put up in con- travention of an agreed order made in the action. The dispute arose about the repairs of a lane at Dolwyddelen. Mr Lowe brought an action for an alleged trespass upon h half of the road, and the whole matter was settled by con- sent.
