John Lewis, labourer, Salem, Llandilo, brought a claim Against John Lewis, Maerdy, Llandilo, in resplet of the will of his father. Mr. Lloyd, Swan- aaa, was for plaintiff, and Mr. Hugh Williams (of the office of Mr. John R. Williams), Llandilo, for defendant. It was stated that the claim arose under a will which was made by Mr. John Lewis, of Gurrey Manor, who died in 1884. The will was proved on the 14th February, 1885, and uader that will deceased Left a bequest of LWO upon trust for his younger son John, the plaintiff. Both the executors had since died, and since then, so far as the plaintiff was con- cerned, it was alleged that the will had been adminis- tered by the present defendant, son of the executors, who wad plaintiff's nephow. Plaintiff, it was stated, lyui been paid by the trustees and subsequently by the defendant, interest on Eikk at the rate of E8 per annum and he had also been paid f,92 out of the capital. On the 24th of June, 1913, defendant de- clined to pay plaintiff at the rate of JS8 per annum, and tendered L5, which was refused. The present claim was in respect of half a year's interest at the rate of LS per annum. For the defence it was denied that defendant was trustee of the will at all, or that he held the money. Hr. Lloyd stated tho estate was proved at J3500 and realty was not included. The Judge decided to refer tha matter to the Registrar as it was a matter of administration. CLAIM IN RESPECT TO INJURIES. Miriam Mathias, of Quay-street, Ammanford, sued Gwenny Roes, grocer, Llandebie, for £ 100 for per- sonal injuries sustained on April 4th, 1913, thruogh, it was alleged, defendant's driver running into her. Mr. Meager, Swansea (instructed by Messrs. T. Geo. Williams and Hurley, Llandilo) was for plainitff, and Mr. Clarke Williams (instructed by Mr. John R. Williams, Llandilo) was for defendant. From tho evidence it appeared that plaintiff waa driving from Llandebio to Ammanford when de- fondant's cut, driven by Tom Rees. her son, coming from the opposite direction, ran into the trap and she wa6 thrown out, sustaining injuries. One of her thumbs was dislocated, and her two wrists were sprained. It was stated she was in bed for 22 dayti and was still unable to take any part in business. For the defendant it was alleged that it being a windy day, the horse was startled by paper being blown under its feet from the roadside and it bolted. The driver had almost got it under control when it passed over a railway bridge and a train passing under at the time, the steam and noise further startled the horse, which wa$a young one, and it dashed away until the wheel of the cart locked with the wheel of the plaintiff's trap. Just before the accident the cord reins had broken and Tom Rees had got on the horse's back to try and guide it with the bridle reins. He waa thrown and laid up for a month. The Judge gave a verdict for the defendant.

Begone Carmarthenshire Aaj information in the pos4ession. of our readers, or any oommsat r"peotmg the various matters reo isrrsd to in these notaa, will be welcomed by the I Editor for publication. FROM THE CARMARTHEN JOURNAL, (FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1814. On Friday last, a number of Gentlemen and principal Inhabitants of Milford and its vicinity dined at the Nelson Hotel, to celebrate the an- nouncement of the definite treaty of peace; James Kennedy, Esq., Naval Officer of his Majesty's Duck Yard, in the Chair. The dinner and wines were excellent, and ample justice was done to both. After the cloth waa removed, the Welsh harp was introduoed; and amongst a number of loyal and patriotic toasts, th following were given from the Chair, with neat and appropriate speeches, viz.: The King—The Prince Regent—The Queen and Royal Family—The Army and Navy—The Allied Sovereigns, who have now honoured the British capital with their presence-Blucher and Platoff The Memory of the Immortal Nelson (whose full length portrait graced the room)—The Duke of Wellington—Sir Thomas Picton—Sir John Owen—Lord Cawdor—The Lord Lieutenant of the County-The Land we live in, &c., &c., and drank in bumpers, with repeated cheers.-Ingivillg the health of Sir Thomas Picton, the Chairman said- "In proposing the health of a gallant General, whose name stands conspicuous on the list of British heroes, I shall not attempt to eulogize a character whoie merit is so well known and appre- ciated by every one present; and. although as rank in the army precluded him from the high honours which have been so nobly bestowed on his brave associates in arms, let us. Gentlemen, give him tho tribute of our hearts: I shall say no more, but propose the health of Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton, and leave you to drink it in the manner your own feelings dictate."—This speech was received with enthusiastic applause, and the health drank with long and reiterated cheers; after which the Harper struck up, Of a noble race was Shenkin."—Just as the honest and heartfelt ebulli- tions of Cambrian feelings to their distinguished countryman had subsided, the evening papers, announcing the fate of the Corn Bill, were brought into the room; this intelligence was received with loud cheering, when the Chairman gave the appro- priate toaet of The honest Farmer and the liberal Landlord," which was drank with equal spirit and applause. Soma excellent songs tended to heighten the glowing scene; among others, I- The tight bit of Land in the Ocean" was particularly admired, the oonoluding line of whish, "and peace crown the land in the ocean." being so appropriate to the occasion, was deservedly applauded. ILLUMINATIONS. The town of Carmarthen evinced on Monday night last, in the festivity, splendour, and enthu- siasm, with which it celebrated the return of Peace, a feeling of Patriotism and loyalty worthy of itself, and of the glorious occasion. Tho public buildings were brilliantly illuminated. The steple of St. Peter's Church was remarkably well lighted up, and a large union flag waved on the top. The ToWta Hall exhibited a truly splendid spectacle; and the illumination of the Castle was as credit- able to the taste, as the interior arrangements and discipline are to the ability and humanity of its respectable superintendent, Mr. Waugh. Every street, lane, aad alley coatributed to the daz-zling blaze; and a variety of transparent and other paintings, with emblematical figures, and devices; and numberless loyal, patriotic, and appropriate mottos greatly heightened the general effect. The following is as accurate a description as we are able to give of the most remarkable trans- parencies. devices, niottc,4, &c., & which cam under our notice. At Mr. Lloyd's, in King-street, a transparent painting represented Peace, tramp- ling under foot a piece of cannon, and other imple- ments of destruction: and another transparency eaumerated the glorious achievements of the im- mortal; Wellington. At Doctor Dayieslor, it Spilman-atrcet, were seen several figures emblema- tic of Peace and Religion, together with the fol- lowing inscriptions "Glory to God in the highest, on earth Peace, and good-will towards men!" "Thy right haud, 0 Lord- is become glorious in power thy right hand, 0 Lord! hath dashed in pieces the enemy At Mr. Morgan's, in L. Market-street, were the two following and well-conceived and executed transparencies, viz. Britannia, seated on a pedestal, holding in her right hand a sceptre, on the top of which was a dove in the act of pre- senting to her an olive branch; and in her left an urn, an emblem of Faith; two guardian angels hovering over her, the one having an olive wreath with roses in one hand, and in the other a label, also supported by the second angel, who, with a trumpet, proclaimed the following words—"We bring glad tidings." In the distance were seen ship* of war, rejoicing. Another subject repre- sented Plenty with her right hand resting on the globe, and holding in her left a cornucopia. Between the centre and background of the piece, appeared emblems of trade, commerce, and general industry ;—in particular, bales of goods, boxes of tin plates, bearin.g their peculiar mark" and a crane, for loading and unloading vessels. A woollen-manufactory and a bee-hive were conspi- cuous objectsReligion was aptly represented by a church on the summit of a hill, a windmill appeared beyond it; and to give due animation and splendour to the whole scene, it was irradiated by the golden beams of the rising sun. Mr. Timiums\ King-street,—a dove descending with an olive branch, through an arch, formed by two cornucopias, the ground beneath being strewed with various kinds of fruit,—motto ''Peace and Plenty.Tiie Rev. Mr. Cole's, Quay-street,— Peace with a sceptre, oil the top of which was a dove, with an olive branch,—Inscription, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. May Peace for ever dwelt within this favoured Isle: and be ye thank- full, 0 ye Nation! A people saved by the Lord.— Mr. Maddocks's, Queen-street,—Peace on a pedes- tal, holding in her hand an olive branch, and sup- ported by Mars and Neptune, with G. R. 111. and G. P. R. at top; also two elegant gilt figures of giants, having between them a rich, ornamented Crown, and a scroll bearing these words, "God and the King,"—Mr. Wolstoncraft's,—an olive branch, with the word "Peace." Messrs. Wolf and Lazarus's, King-street,—a wheaten sheaf, encircled by olive branches.—Mr. Brigstocke, Painter, who furnished the greater part of the transparencies described, exhibited one, in which two blacksmiths these sons of Vulcan held the swords on ploughshares and pruning hooks, in illustration of the 4th verso of the 2d chap, of Isaiah. As one of one of these sons of Vulcan held the swords on the anvil, the other was "beating the iron while it was hot." In one part of the foreground lay a number of swords and spears, and in another ploughshares and pruning hooks, which, together with a well represented smith's forge, had an ex- cellent effect. The Journal Oftice,-a Crown and G. R.—Motto, &c. "Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra Pax!" "Success hath crowned the righteous cause, Religion, Liberty, and Laws Once more resume their Reign: — Whilst industry and wealth increase, May Britain's sons in health and peace, From age to age remain!" The extensive front of Mr. Morris's house in Spilman-street, being brilliantly illuminated, with wreaths of flowers tastefully disposed, produced a very fine effect. Furnace House and the Vicarage were also brilliantly illuminated, but the rain pre- vented the iron railing of the former from being lighted up as usual. The Mottos were numerotis-Mr. Roch's, King- street, "Peace, honourable to all.-Mr. Roger Price's, King-street, "Glory to God. Peace on Earth."—Mr. Jenkins, Lammas-street, "Heddwch I DduW y bo'r diolch." Mr. John Davies's, Auctioneer, "Britons Rejoice a Secure Peace is the Reward of your Persever- ance."—Miss Eleanor Jones's, Lower Market- street,— Heddwch, hyfrydwch frodyr Aed arfau ymaith, 0 derfydd—fwgwth ('enfigen aflonydd Hirlrleddyf, ar y glowyddydd, Rtnvded ef tra rhedo dydd. Mr. Evans's, Printer, "Bcati qui sunt pacifici: quoniam Filii Dei vocabuntur.Mr. Evans's, Upper Market-street, Non furor civilis, aut via exiget otium." The Bands of tho two battalions of Carmarthen- shire Local Militia played several loyal and patriotic airs through the streets. and were treated by John Hughes. Esq.. Deputy Mayor, with a duo portion of the Talbot Ale. Notwithstanding the hard rain which fell at intervals, some firework* were let off with very good effect. Peace.—In commemoration of this glorious event, Castle Hall, near Milford. the seat of Benjamin Rotch, Esq., was on Monday night last splendidly illuminated; the devices and inscriptions were numerous and appropriate; a large conservatory adjoining the house appeared like a solid mass of light, and the whole had a most beautiful effect; it was best soon from the opposite side of the Pill, where a number of spectators assembled. Tho Western Annual Association of the Indepen- dents, was hold at iFynnon-bedr, in the county of Carmarthen, on the 1st, 2d, and 3d days of the present month.

A QUESTION OF EVIDENCE IMPORTANT CARMARTHEN DECISION. Carmarthen inhabitants have decided that the word of a neighbour is far more convincing than the doubtful utterances of people in distant towns. The following is a case in point, and truth is breathed in every line. Mr. E. W. Benney, of 17, Richmond Terrace, opposite the Grammar School, Carmarthen, says:- "My back was vertr painful recently, no doubt as a result of my kidneys being out of order, I found it very difficult to get through my work, for the pain seemed to take all energy from me. I had heard a good deal about Doans' backache kidney pills, and I thought I would see whether they would do me good. I am pleased to say that that these pills quite cured me, and what is more I have kept quite free of the backache since. I can- not do less than recommend Doan's pills, seeing the benefit I derived from them. (Signed) E. W. BENNEY." Kidney complaint occasions many ailments, for when the kidney? are clogged and faulty, uric acid and fluid arc thrown back upon the system, causing rheumatism, stone, bladder inflammation, dropsy, sciatica, and obstinate pain and discomfort. Incurable disease may follow if treatment is neglected, but timely help is generally successful. Doan's backache kidney pills have saved thou- sands of men and women from uric acid poisoning, and kidney disease, and even in advanced stages have effected may cures.

LAMPETER TOWN COUNCIL r WORKMEN S COTTAGES. PURCHASE OF THE MARKET PREMISES. The monthly meeting of the Lampeter Town Council was held on Thursday evening, when the following members were present :-Tho Mayor (Coun- cillor Wm. Jones); Aldermen Win. Davies, Evan Evans, D. F. Lloyd, and Lewis Jones; Councillors Josiah Jenkins, Evan Davies, David Jones, John Evans, H. Baldwin, Walter Davies, ldris Jones, Charles Earis, uavid Thomas, David Davies, and J. S. Jones; together with Messrs. J. Ernest Lloyd, town clerk; E. u. Rees. assistant clerk; and R. W. Ashman, surveyor and sanitary inspector. PRESS TO BE NOTIFIED. Arising out of the minutes of the last ordinary meeting, Mr. Walter Davies enquired of the Town Clerk what date was fixed for the holding of a special meeting which had been held since the last ordinary one. The speaker found from the reporters that this meeting was not held on the day arranged at the last meeting. The Town Clerk—It was held on Wednesday, the 13th of May. Mr. Walter DaTies-I think it would be a very good plan to send notice of a special meeting to the pressmen. I think it is due to these gentlemen that they should be notified in tho same way as the mem- bers of the Council. He proposed that this be done in future. Mr. Idris Jones seconded and the motion was ear ried. FOR THE BLIND. At the last meeting it was agreed that the Mayor should open a fund in aid of the National Institute for the Blind, that gentleman now reported that he had not received any subscriptions during the month. It was resolved that contribution cards be circu lated. HOUSING. The Inspector in the course of his report stated that Dalis fair this year provided record attendances. He reported a certain house in Bridge-street as being insanitary. He had repeatedly served notices upon the owner, but to no effect. Another house in Barley Mow was in a very bad condition, and he was of opinion that the only remedy was demolition. With regard to the iirst-named case, Mr. Charles Evans said that the matter had been before the Health Committee on several occasions, but no heed had been paid to the Inspector's notices. The Town Clerk stated the only proceedings that could be taken were under the Act of 1875. Mr. Evan Davies proposed that the Inspector be authorised to serve the statutory notice. This was seconded and carried. ANONYMOUS LETTER. The Mayor stated that he received a letter that day with a request that it should be read at that meeting, but as the writer had not the courage to disclose his name he (the speaker) did not think that any notice should be taken of it. The other members agreed. A communication from the Lampeter Gas Company intimating that in future the price of tar would be 27s. 6d. per ton was referred to the Streets Com- mittee. WORKMEN'S COTTAGES. Alderman Wm. Davies had a motion on the agenda:—That in order that the question of build- ing workmen's cottages may be adequately discussecl, a copy of the recommendations of the Health Com- mittee showing amount to be paid in capital anH interest, estimated cost of erection; estimated cost < f repairs, and other expenses; and the amount pro- posed to be charged for rent; be placed in the hands of every member of the Council at least one clear day before the meeting at which such recommenda- tions are to be discussed. Alderman Davit's in moving it said the motior., was brought forward in order to obtitli-L information on the subject before it VVHA discussed. The expen- diture would be about £ 2,000. and 81'10 far as the sneakpr was aware thoy had no information at all. except the amount they would have to pay of tI. capital and interest in sixty years. He thought it only fair to the Council in particular and the rate- payers in general, that they should have full informa- tion on the question before discussion. Mr. Josiah Jenkins seconded. Mr. Charles Evans, chairman of the Health Com mittee. quite agreed with Alderman Davies. He proceeded to *ay that the committee went into the matr<T as minutely as possible before submitting their report, but they had no power to spend a penny. their report, but they had no power to spend a penny. They l1"'PÙ their judgment to the best of their ability. Mr. Harford had met them very gene- rously with regard to the ?ite and fhu price. The Committee brought before the Council certain esti- mated figures, but beyond that they could not exceed; it was for the latter to accept or refuse the recom- mendations put forward. Mr. Josiah Jenkins said that all they wanted was that all the information which the Committee pos- sessed he placed in the hands of every member of the Council so that he would have time to consider it. The Mayor said that if they had the figures they could consider them at their leisure. Mr. Walter Davies thought Alderman Lewis Jones was incorrect in his assertion that the Council had had all the figures before them, and that further information was. unavailable. If thlol speaker remem- bered rightly, there was the amount to be paid on capital and interest and the estimated cost of erec- tion. Had they obtained those figures' Then there was the amount of rent to be charged and of which they had not had full details. Again there was the question of drainage, architect's fees, and lots of little things about repairs. Mr. Charles Evans appealed to the Town Clerk whether they have given to the Council all the in- formation that was in their hands? The Town Cle-rk- Yes, you did that in your specich that night. On being put to the meeting, the motion was car- ried. In accordance with notice of motion, Mr. H. Bald- win moved that attention be called to the lighting of the town and that the lamps be lighted throughout the year. He said that he did not think that the lamps should be lighted on moonlight nights, but there had been occasions when they were not lit when it was quite dark- Mr. Charles Evans seconded. Mr. Evan ivavies proposed an amendment that the lighting of lamps be confined to the main streets. There was no seconder. Alderman Evan Evans suggested that the matter of lamp-lighting be left to the discretion of the lamp-lighter. The motion was carried. Mr. Walter Davies proposed that the offer of Mr. J. C. Harford to sell the market premises for E700 be accepted. Mr. Davies said that tho matter had been before the Council on two occasions and they agreed upon the price asked by Mr. Harford, which the speaker thought was very reasonable. Some mem- bers perhaps objected to certain conditions and restrictions, but since Mr. Harford attended a meet- ing of the Council these had been withdrawn and now there was nothing to object to. Alderman D. F. Lloyd seconded and the motion was adopted. Mr. Walter Davies further moved that application be made to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow the sum of £ 1.000 for market and other purposes. Mr. Davies aid that jBSOO more than was necessary for the purchase of the Market-place was asked for in order to concrete the floor and put the premises in a satisfactory state of repair. If the Council were not going to buy the premise" he thought that Mr. Harford would expect a rent of £ 30 a year, while on the loan of £1.000 at four per cent, the interest would only be C40 yearly. Alderman Evan Evans proposed that the Com- mittee that dealt with the question of the purchase of the market place should again officiate. The Water Committee would of course deal with the loan for fire appliances. Mr. Charles Evans seconded. Mr. David Jones proposed that the Market's Com- mitter should carry out the duty. Alderman William Davies—The special committee appointed wr{ selected for a special purpose, and thev hayp finished their work. Mr. H. Baldwin seconded the amendment, but the original motion was carried that the old special com- mittee carry on the work. Alderman Wm. Davies—T was a member of the old committee and decline to act again. We have finished our work. After further discussion Alderman William Davies said that if his refusal to act was attributed to vin- dictiveness he was willing to take it on (hear. hear), especially bv a man who was not present at the meeting. He did object to these remarks all the same. Th* discussion then ended. THE RATE. The sl"1 of the borough was affixed to n General District Rate of Is. 2d. a water rate of 8d.: and a. .borough rate of 2d .in the £1. Mr. David Wiomns asked whether the Yeomanry Committee were taking any steps to try and induce the Yoomanrv to encamp in the district next year. Mr. Evan Davies—Who are they? Mr. J. Jenkins—There is no commitiee in force now. Mr. TT. suggested that a plan of ili- camping .ground be prepared and taken to the briga- dier for li;4; inspection. The latter had visited the first site which had been nroposed and expressed his satisfaction at the camping ground., but not at the manoeuvring P'round. The only ground that Air. Baldwin thought would now be satisfactory was that nt Llcttvtonna for which they had received the noo- cessary permission. I --c:c_1 On the proposition of Mr. Waher Davies, seconded by Mi. D. Thomas, it was decided to provide the camp with water. A deputation consisting of Messrs. H. Baldwin. D. F. Lloyd, Idris Jones and Evan Evans whs ap- pointed to approach the brigadier at Penally.

Thomas Walters Rhos Villa, Conwil (collier), aged r S l1 u 0110 ^'ear s experience of ricling a bicycle, and on the day in question he was tfoing to Pontyberem. He was not travelling fast, and did everything possible to avoid the accident. hen he first saw Mrs. Howells she was about thirty to forty yards in front of him. Mrs. Howeils was then m the middle of the road. He rang the bell and Mi?. Ihomas, who was with the deceased, moved out of his way. The deceased turned a little to the right side and as witness was about to pass her she stepped back towards the middle of the road and collided with witness. He immediately applied thö brakes and tried to swerve the machine outwards, but it was too late. Had the deceased remniftea a' where she was, the accident would not have hap- pened.

Dr. Yorath, Conwil, in his evidence stated that he attended the deceased and found her bleeding fnom I the ears and nose. She had fractured the base of the skull. The jaw bone was also broken and her teeth were very loose. Her chin must have come in violent contact with the ground. She died about twelve o'clock on Sunday night.

Owen Jones was foreman, returned a verdict of accidental death. Of a genial disposition, the deceased was well I respected throughout the whole countryside, where her untimely and ad end has caused profound regret.
