The Towyn and Aberdovey District Council met last Friday, when the work before them was not of a very important character. It took them, all the same, three hours to get through the business. At times the discussions were somewhat exciting, and one or two of the members showed a regrettable inclination to be personal. The medical officer did not pre- sent a formal report, a fact which speaks elo- quently for the good health and sanitation of the district. The only matter mentioned by him was that the little dispute between the Council and Mr Steel had been satisfactorily ended. A matter upon which the town at large may be congratulated is the leasing of Braichyrhiw farm to Mr McConnel, who intends developing the slate quarry. When operations commence we may look for a revival in local trade. The financial position of the Council is very encouraging, and there in now a credit balance, whereas a year ago the account at the Bank was overdrawn. The negotiations with the Postal Authorities with reference to the telephone poles have been brought to a successful conclusion, and orna- mental poles are to be used in the more promi- nent parts of the town. We are glad to notice there is also a possibility of the telephone being extended to Llanegryn and Pennal. It is a question of guarantee, and the consideration of the matter has been referred to a small commit- tee. The surveyor reported that Mr D. C. Davies had knocked down the bridge which was erected over the brook at Bryneitliyi), and judg- ing by what Mr Davies had to say the reason appears to have been that he was not properly consulted beforehand. It is unfortunate there should be any trouble about such a matter, and we trust the Legal Committee will be able to find means for settling the matter without re- course to any proceedings at law. The letter which Mr Latimer has written us which appears in another column dealing with the affairs of Towyn Provided School, certainly touches an important matter, and one that should be dealt with. During the last five years we find that 25 scholars from the Aberdovey Board School have gained entrance scholar- ships to the Towyn Intermediate School, Corris ten, Aberllefenni seven, Bryncrug six, Pennal three, Abergynolwyn two, Llwyngwril two, Rhoslefain one, and nine from other schools. During the same period there has not been a single scholarship won by any scholar from the Towyn Provided School in connection with the open examination. Surely there must be some explanation for this state of affairs. The large majority which the Government obtained against Mr Lloyd-George's motion on Monday caused some dissatisfaction amongst Nonconformists, who were also anything but pleased that more prominent men did not take part in the debate. A London correspondent of the "Manchester Guardian" says: --Thc,-ie may be an explanation for this-that the chair- man regarded it as a Welsh night. A Welsh- man opened it, and a Welshman, amid roars of laughter, closed it. The main interest of the evening, too, was certainly not the possibility of a settlement of whether religious teaching should be given in or out of school hours, but exactly what the Government means to do with the Welsh Councils. Those who remember how Mr Balfour handled coercion in Ireland can fore cast how he will act in Wales. But you can- not issue a mandamus to a nation," it is said. That no one proposes to do. On the other hand you can issue a mandamus to a County Council or to twenty. It was done very effectively to the Guardians of Leicester by the Local Gov- ernment Board a few years ago. They refused to carry out the Vaccination Acts. They were called upon to show cause. Mr Asquith did his best for them, but they were hopelessly beaten. They were ordered to do the particular thing. A motion that it be done was lost at the Board .by a very large majority, and then each mem- ber of the Board was summoned before the High Court to show cause why he or she should not be committed to prison for contempt. At that point the opposition collapsed. So with Mr Lloyd-George and his friends. The man- damus may be some weeks, perhaps, in coming. But when they are asked to show cause they will find it impossible to do so. Whatever the reasons for their opposition, they are not carry- ing out the Act. They made a very strong case yesterday. It is, I am told, the general opinion among lawyers that they can make none in the courts. Lord Rosebery had another opportunity at Newcastle for effective criticism of Mr' Cham- berlain's proposals. Needless to say, he did not rise to the occasion. Presumably from lack of the necessary facts, he advanced no argument that in any way damaged the cause of Tariff Reform. In fact, he brought forward no argu- ment whatever on the fiscal question, but mere- ly treated his hearers to a lively and highly amusing philippic against those who are not content with commercial repose." It is true that he reiterated the assertion that our Colon- ies have made no offer of fiscal reciprocity. In his eyes no doubt Canada's reduction of 33 l-3rd per cent., South Africa's reduction of 25 per cent., and New Zealand's reduction of 10 per cent., are to be looked upon as spontaneous gifts offered in a spirit of filial affection, rather than concessions which deserve an adequate re- turn. We suppose that when Lord Rosebery accepts an invitation to dinner he considers him- self under no obligation to return the hospitality For the rest, the noble lord described Mr Cham- berlain's great speech in May last as wanton and indigestible." On the spur of the moment we felt inclined to apply the same epithet to his own utterances at Newcastle. But that would be unjust. Wanton they were; wanton as the graceful sporting of dragon-flies in the sunlight. But indigestible—no A different term must be applied to the brilliant efferves- cence of after-dinner champagne

Defendant asked him if he could borrow a pincers as he had a puncture in his bicycle, and he wanted to mend it. Witness told him that he had no pincers. Defendant then asked for permission to go into the build- ing to see if he could find something. Witness gave him permission. Defendant left about 6-5 p.m. He heard him go away, and went to the building in about half-an-hour's time. His own bicycle was about four yards from where defendant was repairing his puncture. Witness noticed that the wind had gone out of his tyres, and on making further investigation he found that the valves of both wheels and screws had been taken away. He could not identify the valve and screw produced as being his own.- P.C. David Jones, Towyn, said that from infor- mation he received he proceeded to Morfa, Towyn, and there found defendant. He asked him to accompany him up to the Police Station. The only thing that defendant said was" That's I g the worst of borrowing a thing without asking." Dofendant then produced the valve produced.- P.C. Davies, Abergynolwyn, said defendant said "I am very sorry now that I have done it; I thought of taking it back."—P.S. Morris said that the defendant replied in answer to the charge I asked if I could go into the building where he kept the hay. He said that I could go in, as I had a puncture in my bike. In putting my tyre back I lost my valve, and I saw his bike close by, and took his valve. I intended to take it back the next day."—The defendant pleaded guilty, and said that he intended to take it back.—Defendant was fined 5s. and 17s. 3d. costs, and allowed fourteen days to pay.
