This was an action in which Mary Furnival of Greenfield, sued the Pearl Life Assurance Co,, Ltd., for £ 4, insurance money due on the death of the plaintiff's father, William Metcalf, tinman, of Holywell. Mr Swift, of Liverpool, appeared for the defendant company. It appeared that the case could not be proceeded with owing to the Court fees not having been paid by the plaintiff.—Mr Swift said about six months before his death, William Metoalf was insured by the defendant for £12, and on the policy taken out his age was entered as fifty years, whereas he had evidence to show be was seventy years old. The policy was not agood one, and undtir the amount of premium she could not reoover nore than £ 2 6s Od. He was instructed by the Society, if she chose to withdraw, to offer the plaintiff a sovereign to cover her expenses —The plaintiff demurred to accepting the suggested com- promise, but upon his Honour remarking that she had much better accept a good offer to fighting a iiopelcss case she agreed to accept the sovereign, and the case wap withdrawn

The value of the church property belonging to the Welsh Wesleyans in North Wales is now 1221,383, with a debt of -616,562. Forty years ago the estimated value was ^58,810, with a debt of -6 3 1,2 43 Father Donnelly, S.J., of Liverpool, on Sunday, continued his refutation of the assertion made by Mr Samuel Smith, M.P., in his pamphlet that where the Roman Church is supreme the circulation of the Scriptures is forbidden." He said that Catholics could read the Bible, provided they first consulted the priest or the ordinary. The death is announced, in her 77th year, of Miss Catherine Jones, the last member re- maining of the family of the celebrated Welsh linguist, the late Dic Aberdaron," who, though self-taught, was proficient in 35 languages. Miss Jones resided at the thatched roofed cottage at the village of Aberdaron, where the late "Die Aberdaron" lived for the greater part of his life, and among other relics left in the cottage is an old clock, which has kept correct time for close upon 200 years, and the furniture of Dic's study. An appeal is being made to Welsh bards and literati for contributions towards buying these relics for presentation to one of the Welsh colleges. Correspondence has passed between the Bishop of Chester and Cardinal Vaughan on the present position of the education question The bishop wrote thanking his Eminence for his recently published letter on the subject, and asking what he thought the wisest course in reference to the critical situation which denominationalists may soon have to face. Was it so certain, queried his lordship, that they would fare worse with Liberals than with the Unionist Government ? In reply, Cardinal Vaughan declares that if the Govern- ment policy is a hand-to-mouth policy of sops and doles, and does not recognise the cruel injustice and inequality suffered by denomi- nationalists under the Act of 1870, some other political combination must be sought for. It would then become our truest fidelity to the cotfntry and to God to work for a political break up."
