FLINTSHIRE PENNANTS. We cannot very well exclude other branches of the Pennant family from our thoughts, after the allusion made in my former "note" to the Pennants of Holywell. Mr. Gebrge Owen thus notices them "Nicholas Pennant, ap Harri Pennant, ap Edward Pennant ap Thomas Pennant, Abbot Dinas Basyn." The Abbot of Basingwerk, thus mentioned, was son to David Pennant, of Bychton, and he flourished about 1480. According to Thomas Pennant, he quitted his profession, and became what is termed in law, a monk deraigne and married Angharad, daughter to Gwillim ap Gryffydd, ap Gwillim, of the house of Penrhyn, in Carnarvonshire. He had by her four sons, one of whom, Nicholas, succeeded him in the Abbacy, and was the last who filled that place." He cer- tainly could not have "succeeded" his father, otherwise it might be contended, he was born during his father's abbacy, which is not very likely. He was the founder of the Holywell branch of the Pennant family, and his eldest son,— Edward Pennant (of Holywell) married, Kathar- ine, daughter of Howel, ap Sion, by whom he had four sons, the eldest of whom- Harri Pennant, married Margaret, daughter of Griffith, ap Sion, and they had a son- Nicholas Pennant, who married Jane Moiston, of Greenfield, and their son- Edward Pennant, married Elizabeth Giffard. So far, the record is plain enough; but Mr. Pennant tells us that, Nicholas Pennant—Abbot of Basingwerk-followed the good example of his father, and took to himself a wife; and that, he had descendants who carried his line onwards his words being-Abbot Thomas, was father of four children, one of them, Edward, succeeded to the for- tunes which he seems to have secured in the parish of Holywell; Thomas, the second son, became Vicar of Holywell; and Nicholas, the third, in due time became Abbot of Basingwerk, and the founder of a family." One John Pennant, of Holywell, had married Mary, daughter of Thomas, ap Thomas, ap Edward, of Mertyn, and with her he acquired that estate. One account, now before me, calls him son of Edward Pennant, by Elizabeth Giffard," but Mr. Pennant implies, at least, that he came of the line of Abbot Nicholas, and it would be well to have the point determined, if possible. In any case, John and Mary Pennant, of Mertyn, had a daughter Elizabeth, who married David Pennant, of Bychton, (sheriff, 1643) and thus the chief of the clan Pennant gained Merton, and also, as Mr. Pennant says, "all the possessions in Holywell," which at one time belonged to Nicholas Pennant. Which Nicholas ? Then we find Henry Pennant, second son of Edward Pennant, of Holy- well, erecting Bagillt Hall, and settling there as the founder of another branch of his family. His descendants ruled there down to Edward Pennant, of Bagillt & of Holywell, who, in 1766, sold all his estates in the township of Holywell," to Mr. Thomas Pennant, of Downing. That done, he re- tired to France, where, in 1778, he died, and with him, I suspect, all the glories, and all the members of the Bagillt branch of the family. Assuming all this to be so, it would appear that in 1766, Mr. Thomas Pennant was possessed of the Bychton, Downing, Holywell, Mertyn, and Bagillt properties, which had once belonged to divers members of his kindred, and the question naturally arises, whether he did not then represent in his own person, all the North Walian Pennants, except those of Hendre-Figillt, in the Parish of Kilken those of Pen-y-garth, in the parish of Mold; and those of Penrhyn, in Carnarvonshire, who, through Richard Pennant (Baron Penrhyn) bad derived from the Bychton House ? That is worth knowing, when we have to remember how Mr. T. Pennant's great-granddaughter carried Downing away to the Denbigh family, and, that as she died childless, the last of this great race in the male line of descents, passed away from Flintshire. I say "passed away," for the Hendre-Figillt branch, founded by David Pennant, fifth son of Henry Pennant, had done so in Mr. Pennant's own lifetime; and the Pen-y-garth branch had also failed, and the property itself had been vested in other hands. And so indeed, had the genuine Pennants, of Penrhyn ceased to be, for on the death of Richard Pennant (the first Baron) the estates went to Mr. George Hay Dawkins, who assumed the name of Pennant, just as the present Lord Penrhyn has done on his acquisition of them on his marriage with Mr. Dawkins' eldest daughter, and so far as I can see, the Dawkins family were not in fact of the Pennant race at all. A history of Flintshire would lose half its interest if it did not contain well verified accounts of the principal families connected with the county, prior to the great rebellion; and I hope to be pardoned for saying that, the ancestors, and kin- dred of Thomas Pennant should certainly occupy a very high and honoured place in such records. In addition, therefore, to the Pennant lines, alluded to in my former note, which should be worked out in due successions, we want those of Abbot Thomas, and those of Abbot Nicholas, before we can perfect the very imperfect accounts of this notable family, as they have been so far supplied to us in any of our printed books. That can only be done by a reference to well authenticated family pedigrees, and there are such in existence I know. There are some individual members of the family mentioned by Mr. Pennant, who should be alluded to in this note, and I purpose to do that, as they occur to me, without any pretence to the order in which they are entitled to precedence. Robert Pennant, of Downing, was a gentleman who paid a composition of X298 as a delinquent during the Civil Wars. Hugh Pennant, brother of the last named, was a major in the Royal service in Anglesey in the Civil War. He died at Brynshone, in the parish of Ysceifiog, in 1669. Pyers Pennant, who married Katharine, daughter of Robert Davies, of Llanerch, and whose portrait is mentioned by Mr Pennant, was son to a David Pennant. John Pennant, of Chelsea, was brother to Mr. Pennant's grandfather, and the particular friend of John Wynne, of Coppalleni, who presented his likeness to his relatives. He died in 1609, and is buried at Chelsea church-yard, and he was second son of David Pennant, of Bychton. Robert Pennant, son of Pyers and Katharine, above named, died in London in 1639, aged 24, and lies buried in Pancras church-yard. John Pennant, uncle to Mr. Pennant, was born at a farm house, belonging to the family, a mile from Downing, and known is Tyddyn-ucha. Pyers Pennant, one of the four gentleman ushers to Queen Elizabeth, obtained a patent for his crest of the Antelope's head in 1580, with its use by the posterity of his father, Hugh Pennant. William Pennant, a goldsmith in London, was the second son of Hugh Pennant, of Bychton, by Sionet, daughter of Richard ap Howel, ap Mostyn. He left at his death the Manor of Moxhill, in Essex, and two Rectories to his nephew, Hugh Pennant; and to his brother, Pyers Pennant, of Mailard Green, in the same county, his leases of the Manor of Thomes. And he left some money for the poor of Whitford, which, I hope, may es- cape confiscation, in the good time coming." He died, I think, in 1609. John Pennant, who died in 1639, aged 21, is the young gentleman in whose "left ventricle of the heart," Dr. May found "a strange monster or serpent," and he was the third son to Pyers Pennant. Hugh Pennant, brother of Pyers Pennant, of Bychton, "died of a broken head, given to him at Denbigh, by Pyers Hughes," on the 22nd of July, 1615. Nicholas Pennant, who died in 1601, was son of Hugh Pennant, by Sionet Mostyn, and his remains are buriedjat Whitef jrd. Hugh Pennant, son and heir of Robert Pennant, of Downing, died in 1675, and is buried at White- ford. Roger Pennant, of Bagillt, granted a lease, for the site of one of the earliest Smelting Works, in the neighbourhood of Greenfield. The works were erected in 1733, and in 1758 (the buildings having reverted to the hands of the owners), Edward Pennant granted a lease of them to Mr. Champion, of Bristol. These fragmentary records of individual mem- bers of the Pennant family cannot fail to be useful to the genealogical student who may feel disposed to arrange them in their proper order. I have not had leisure to do >0 myself. and must be content therefore to commend them to the loving notice of those of your readers who possess the will, the ability, and the time, to render that service to the public.

MOLD. THE PRIMROSE LEA.GUE. The" Mostyn Habita- tion," No. 680, of the Primrose League will be inaugurated at Mold tomorrow (Friday) evening, when Lord Mostyn will preside, the hon. secretary of the movement being Miss Raikes, of Llwynegrin. ENTERTAINMENT.—The second of a series of enter- tainments was held at the National Schools on Monday evening last, when a fairly numerous audience was present presided over by O. P. Morgan, Esq., Bryn yr haul. An excellent pro- gramme was carried out. SCHOLASTIC.—The Schoolmaster of last week con- tains the names of the following successful local candidates in the recent scholarship examinations for entrance into training colleges:—Mr. Seth Parry, assistant master, Mold Board'Schools, First Class, Bangor Training College. Mr. N. H. Bate- man, assistant master, Mold National Boys School, Second Class, Chester Training College. Miss J. Morgan, Teacher at the Mold Board Schools (Girls Department), Second Class, Swansea Training College. GRAND DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT.—The visit to Mold of talented Metropolitan or provincial dramatic artistes is not an every day occurrence, rather to the contrary, yet on Thursday evening last Moldavians were thus indulged, and they thoroughly enjoyed their treat and appreciated the enterprize of our good fellow-townsman, Mr. E. Edwardes, by whom the entertainment referred to was given at the Town Hall. Brilliant as have been the results of Mr. E. Edwardes' endeavours to beautify the Tewn Hall, his previous efforts were on Thursday evening completely eclipsed, and a more gorgeous spectacle than that which the assembly room presented could with difficulty be imagined. The hall was almost filled with a highly respectable audience, about 150 seats being occupied by the elite of the town and neighbourhood. The performance commenced with W. S. Gilbert's two-act comedy entitled Sweet- hearts" the caste in which was as follows -Henry Spreadbrow, (afterwards Sir Henry)—Mr. E. Edwardes; Wilcox (a gardener)—Mr. J. Muir (London) Jenny Northcott—Miss Lottie Venne (Royal Court Theatre, London); Ruth—Mrs. Ray. The comedy proves in a striking manner the truth of the ancient adage that" Procrastination is the thief of time." The curtain rises upon a garden scene in the spring of 1837, when we find Wilcox (Miss Jenny Northcott's gardener) in possession of a hazel sapling presented by Mr. Henry Spreadbrow to Miss Northcott, which Wilcox is commissioned to deliver with a message to the eftect that Mr. Spreadbrow is leaving shortly for India, and will call to bid his mistress farewell. The young gentle- man, who of course is deeply enamoured of the lady, at length arrives and with some extremely funny business Wilcox is disposed of and a têt, a tSte ensues. The lover is much surprised and not a little offended at the cool demeanour assumed by the object of his affections which at length urges him to an avowal of his love. Meanwhile they have together planted his gift in front of the drawing room window, and an exchange of flowers takes place, her blossom he treasures tenderly, whilst his rose she—to all appearance—carelessly throws aside. After his disappearance however, her cold exterior vanishes and with a flood of passionate tears she fondles his gift and implores the untimely departure of her lover. Thirty years elapse between the acts, and we again find Miss Northcott seated in the garden which wears an autumnal aspect. The hazel has now become a fine tree. We discover Miss Ashcroft -now advanced from a pretty girl to a sedate and comely matron—admonishing her servant Ruth not to allow an opportunity which presents itself to pass by unseized, and she relates her own rueful experience as a warning. Ruth departs and shortly ushers in an elderly gentleman who proves to be Mr.—now Sir Henry—Spread- brow. After a brief consultation a mutual recognition takes place. Sir Henry seems to have but a dim recollection of the scene recorded in the first act, and fails to recognise his floral offering of 30 years ago, which has been so lovingly treasured by his companion, but upon mention of the hazel which they planted together, the veil is uplifted, his offer is renewed and accepted and the story terminates happily for all concerned. Mr. Edwardes. in the dual capacity of the timorous lover and the stately Sir Henry, enacted his part with grace and tact. Miss Venne as Jenny was an admirable impersonation, and she. quite won the sympathies of the "house "by her clever conception of the role. Mr. Muir as Wilcox was irresistibly comic, and his representa- tion of the inquisitive and somewhat presumptive gardener was perfect. Mrs. Ray, in the sub- ordinate part of Ruth oppeared to advantage. After a short interval the charming comedietta by Thyre Smith, of "My Uncle's Will," was enacted, the characters being sustained as follows —Lieut. Charles Cashmore, R.N. (Mr. E. Edwardes); Mr. Baker, his uncle (Mr. J. Muir) Miss Florence Marigold, his cousin (Miss Florence Courtney, directress Royal Theatre, Chester). Scene, Portsmouth. Time, the present. Lieut. Cashmore and his cousin Florry are legatees under the will of a deceased uncle, who bequeaths to them a sum of Y,50,000 each upon the express condition that they marry, failing which the person who refuses to comply with the stipulation forfeits his or her portion which falls to the lot of Mr. Barker, their uncle, who has resolved to devote the legacy when obtained to the establish- ment of an Asylum for Insane Dogs The cousins are not upon terms the most amicable, a circumstance which naturally delights Mr. Barker, who, to precipitate matters deposits photo- graphs of members of the opposite sex in the cap of the lieutenant and the workbasket of his cousin which are discovered. The affair is thus brought to a crisis and the signing of documents of renuncia- tion of the Legacy take place, after which both in- dividuals are free from the detestable marriage com- pact. It is not until then that cupid commences operations, and charms, in either cousin, previously latent, gradually develope until at length-to the horror of the uncle—they determined each to destroy the renunciation document of the other, follow out the plan of their deceased relative, and live happily ever after." Mr. Edwardes impersonated the Lieutenant with a careless grace essential to the character, whilst Miss Courtenay gave an im- passioned and earnest interpretation of the ready- witted but much aggrieved heiress. The Mr. Barker of Mr. Muir was all that could be desired and he fully sustained the reputation gained by him upon his previous appearance. Both pieces were splendidly staged, the scenic arrangements being en- trusted to Mr. Bruce (Princess's Theatre, London). Musical selections were played during the evening by Madame Douglas (piano), and Miss Stephenson, Wrexham (violin) under the skilful direction of the former lady. We are requested to announce that Mr. Edwaides will give his second dramatic per- ormance on the 10th and llth proximo. FORTNIGHTLY PETTY SESSIONS: MONDAY. —Before J. Scott Bankes, Esq.

Com- plainant stated she had been in defendant's employ as a domestic servant for over a month, and on Sunday, the 24th ult., in consequence of his conduct towards her, she asked for her wages that she might leave, whereupon he pushed her, which was the assault complained of. As defendant did j, appear, a warrant was issued for his apprehension. A PENTRE VIRAGO. Ellen Roberts, an elderly widow, residing at Wylfa, Pentre, was summoned by Catherine Jones, a neighbour, for assaulting her on the 29th October. Complainant stated she was a married woman and resided next door to the defendant, who had persist- ently refused to allow her to dry clothes upon the garden hedge. She was washing on the 29th ult., and whilst hanging the clothes defendant assaulted her with the clothes prop.—Martha Roberts gave corroborative evidence, and defendant was ordered to pay the amount of costs, 5s. ALLEGED THEFT BY A HUDDERSFIELD HAWKEB. Thomas Williams, described as a hawker from Huddersfield was charged in custody on remand with stealing a tin box the property of Mr. D. Williams, the Bazaar, High-street.—Prosecutor stated that he was a general dealer in High-street. On Friday the 30th ult., some goods were placed outside his establishment for exhibition, amongst which were two boxes placed upon a wooden box. They were all right at two o'clock, but at seven o'clock he noticed that the box produced was missing.—Wm. Evans, shop-boy to Mr. Humphrey Lewis, grocer, deposed that on the day in question he saw the prisoner walking up High-street with the box produced. Sergt. Pearson stated that at eight p.m, on the 30th, he went in search of the prisoner, whom he found in the Upper Vaults, under the influence of drink. He brought him to the Police Station and when charged he denied all knowledge of the box. Soon afterwards the witness Evans was brought to the Police Station and immediately identified the prisoner as the man he had seen. In reply to questions from the prisoner Evans said, You were carrying the box in your hands. There was not another man there." He (witness) after- wards got pot-session of the box, which had been found and kept in the store room, at the Bailey Hill Colliery.—John Dodd, collier, said that at 6.30 a.m., on the 31st ult., he was going to his work at the Bailey Hill Colliery. When in Love-lane he found the box produced, which he took to the colliery store room for safety.—The prisoner, who stated that he had "nothing to say," was committed fortrialat the Quarter Sessions. IMPUDENT THEFT FROM A MILLINERY ESTABLISHMENT. Jane Hewitt, a married woman, of Buckley, was summoned for stealing one child's woollen hood, valued at Is. 6d. Mr. J. B. Marston appeared for the defendant.-J. Worthington Roberts said he kept a millinery establishment in Wrexham-street. On Saturday, the 24th ult., he missed the woollen hood, produced, whereupon he gave information to the police.—Police-constable John Pearson deposed that on the previous Wednesday he attended the Mold fair, in plain clothes. He watched the defendant who carried a baby who wore the hood, produced, and which was identified by the prosecutor as his property. When charged at the Police Station, defendant made no reply. Hewitt denied the offence, but being found guilty was fined 10s., and JE1 3s. costs, or seven days in default. The money was paid. THE GRAVE CHARGE AGAINST A TRYDDYN YOUTH— COMMITTAL OF THE ACCUSED. Thomas Edwards, farm servant, of Tryddyn Fechan, surrendered to his bail charged on remand with inflicting grievous bodily harm upon John Griffiths, labourer, of Ty Coch, Nerquis. The prosecutor, a youth aged 20, deposed that at 8.15. p.m., on the 18th October, be was coming out of chapel accompanied by Geo. Hughes and Edw. Williams. They went towards home and met the prisoner and two others. The former came to him and said he wanted to speak to him. He accused the prosecutor of having said something about him to one Edw. Lloyd, and struck him just above the left eye with something sharp, saying .1 Hell fire, hold my jacket, Shonyn." Blood flowed from the wound and it covered the handkerchief produced, which he held to his eye. He was completely blinded by the blow, and could see nothing. Geo. Hughes told the prisoner to ask him when they might meet to settle the affair, and he replied You shall see me soon enough-it is Sunday night." The wound continued bleeding and when he got home it was plaistered by a neighbour. Following the advice of Dr. Edwards he went to the Eye Hospital at Liverpool, where he remained an inmate for five days. The left eye was taken out, the right eye being much impaired. His sight was perfectly good before the occurrence.—Cross-examined on be- half of the prisoner: He had known the prisoner a year and a half, and up to the night of the assault had been on friendly terms with him. He did not follow or annoy the prisoner on the night in ques- tion. No one struck him but the prisoner, and he did not strike Griffiths first. It was tolerably light and he could distinctly see some five yards or so away. Prisoner did not pull off his coat before striking him. Corroborative evidence was given by George Hughes, farm labourer, of Plas Ucha, Nerquis, who was in company with the prosecutor on the night of the assault.—Dr. David Edwards, Mold, said he examined the prosecutor's eye, and discovered a slight scratch over the left eyebrow. Both eyelids were much swollen, and upon raising the left lid he found the eyeball had a penetrating wound, which involved all the structure of the eye which he saw was hopelessly damaged. He administered some soothing medicine and a cold compress, and referred the patient by letter to a Liverpool doctor. The wound in witness' opinion was inflicted by a sharp instrument, and could not have been caused by the fist. It might have been caused by a sharp-pointed stiek. The wound on the head was slight.—Police-constable Manley, Gwernymynydd, proved the apprehension upon warrant, of the prisoner, on the 20th Oct. In reply to the charge he said I hit him with a small stick, but did not intend to hurt him so much." Witness then took him into custody. In reply to the usual questions the prisoner reserved his defence, and was committed on bail to the Quarter Sessions.

D. Richards, M.A., of Llanllechid, on the question of Disestablishment and Disendowment. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. Prys Eyton, of Coed Mawr, and the large attendance included the Revs. Griffith Jones, and John Griffith. vicar and curate of Mostyn, Rev T. Z. Davies, Whitford, Rev. R. Davies, Gorsedd, Rev. Howell Harris, Ffynnongroew, Rev. D. Davies, Ysceifiog, Rev. Jas. Jones, Gwaenyscor, Rev. Dr. E. Pan Jones, Mr. Adam Eyton, J.P., Plas Llanerchymor, &c.-At the commencement of the proceedings, the Vicar of Mostyn said they all knew the nature of the meeting, and he hoped that the proceedings would be carried on in an amicable and kindly spirit. His sole object in calling the meeting was that the people might have an opportu- nity of hearing both sides of this very important question (hear hear). Hitherto, only one side had been heard, but that night they would bear the Church side of the question, and they would after- wards be in a better position to judge for themselves on this all-important question. He had no doubt, knowing the character of the Mostyn people as he did, that they would give the speakers a fair tearing. —Rev. D. Richards, who was warmly received, delivered an admirable address, in the course of which he lucidly explained the origin of tithes, and showed that the Church of England was not a State endowed Church, the tithes being voluntary offerings given to her by benevolent patrons. The tithes consequently were not national property, any more thanit could be said that.'because Mr. Gladstone was a servant of the State, Hawarden Castle was the property of the State (applause).—Mr. Adam Eyton proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer, whom he thanked for his able and excellent address, and for the light he had thrown on this important question. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lean, of Mertyn, who said he felt convinced that the tithes were entirely the property of the Church, and that the State had no right to attempt to deprive her of them. —The Vicar of Mostyn invited anyone who disputed the accuracy of the facts stated by Mr. Richards, to controvert them, but no one rising to challenge the truth of the statements, the meeting ended with a vote of thanks being accorded the chairman, on the motion of the Rev. T. Z Davies, seconded by the Rev. R. Davies

+— WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT…
+ — WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US ? Like a thief it night, it steals upon us unawares. Many persons have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a ieelmg like a heavy load on the stomach sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a couah sets i n at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish-coloured expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a short of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive the skin is dry and hot at times the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the;food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes impaired, with spots before the eyes there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of ours population has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. Some have treated it for liver complaint, others for kidney disease, &c., &c but none of the various kinds of treatment have been attended with success, because the remedy should be such as to act harmoniously upon each one of these organs, and upon the stomach as well; for in Dyspepsia (for this is really what the disease is) all of these organs partake of this disease and require a remedy that will act upon all at the same time. Seigel's Curative Syrup acts like a charm in this class of complaints, giving almost im- mediate relief. The following letters, from chemists of standing in the community where they live, show in what estimation the article is held *— J. M. CLENNELL, 52, Derby Street, Newcastle :—"I know of instances where it has not merely relieved, but actually cured after having used it two or three months; but testi- monials are, I believe, often withheld from a false delicacy of allowing the names to be made public." GEORGE DRURY, SouthwellThough I have been a patent medicine stller now over thirty years, yet I never knew such a run on any medicine before as I have had on yours, and many persons have told me of the benefit they have derived from it. My brother in Lincoln says the same. The sale is wonderful." THOMAS MILLER, Wednesfield* Your medicines have given great satisfaction in this district, and many of my customers speak highly of Mother Seigel's Syrup." WM. FLOWER, Beccles: It is not my habit to recommend any patent medicine to my customers in individual cases, but always have a good word to say for Mother Seigel when mr opinion is asked." P. S. BALLARD, Wootton Bassat :1 have met with some really astonishmg cures performed by Seigel's Syrup, and I recommend it to all my customers." G. H. WHITE, 39, Commercial Street, Mountain Ash :—"I can personally testify to the merits of your medicine." JAMES FISHER EDISBUBY, M.P.S., 3, High Street, Wrex- ham :—I have recommended Seigel's Syrup, as my personal and relative experiences of its merits are indisputable." W. H. HEWITT, West Cowes, I W. Your medicine I have a large sale for-a sale which most certainly does not decrease now that the novelty is wearing off, which speaks well for its real merits." W. 8. GLASS, Friockheun :-It is about the only genuine patent medicine in the market."

HOLYWELL. HIGHWAY BOARD. The monthly meeting of the Holywell Highway Board was held on Friday afternoon last at the County Cuurt, under the presidency of Mr. Isaac Taylor, an 1 there were also present the following way-wardens representing the various townships —Mr. John Jones, Fachallt; Mr. John Jones, Brynford; Mr. Thomas Jones, Bronfadosj; Mr. Wm Thomas, Plas Newydd; Mr. John Williams. Gelli Fowler Mr. Hughes, Perthybwl Mr. John Ellis, Ys'.eifiog Mr. Edward Hughes, Isglan Mr. Alfred Parry, Llanasa Mr. W. Roberts, Glandon; Rev. D. Morgan, Ysceifiog Mr. Edw. Williams, Pentreffvnnon Mr. John Jones, Waen Mr. E. Pierce, Trelogan Mr. Thomas Williams, Mertyn Mr. R. Bagshaw. Clerk, Mr. H. A. Cope; surveyor, Mr. H. Judd. ROUTINE. The wages sheet for the past month were exam- ined and passed, and the minutes of the previous meeting were read by the Clerk and confirmed. A BOARD IN A FOG." The Surveyor informed the Board that the Holywell Local Board had applied to the Local Government Board for an extension of their area so as to include the township of Greenfield. The Local Government Board had communicated with the Rural Sanitary Authority to ascertain their views on the matter. A similar communication would have been received by the Holyweil Highway Board, but the application made by the Holywell Local Board did not infer that the re-arrangement of their boundary would affect the interests of the Highway Board, therefore it was desirable to know in the interests of the parishes of the district what steps should be taken in the matter by the High- way Board.—The Chairman stated they had not received any notice from the Holywell Local Board, and he thought that it was resolved at a previous meeting, not to interfere in the matter, if it did not affect the interests of the Board. -Mr. W. Thomas observed that it was matter that required investi- gation, as no doubt it would affect the interests of the Board in a pecuniary point of view.—Mr. Alfred Parry suggested that the question be considered be- fore the next Board, to ascertain whether the steps that are being taken in the matter would be detri- mental to the financial interests of the Board.— The Surveyor said that if the townships were amal- gamated the Highway Board would be the losers. —Mr. Edward Williams proposed that the Clerk and Surveyor watch the interest of the Board, and if necessary to take due steps to oppose the scheme. —Mr. E. Pierce proposed that a committee of local waywardens be formed to watch the scheme on be- half of the Board, as well as the Clerk and Sur- veyor.—Mr. Edward Hughes seconded the pro- position.—The following committee was appointed to act in conjunction with the Clerk and Surveyor- The Chairman, vice-Chairman, Messrs. W. Thomas, John K. Evans, and W. Michell. APPOINTMENT. Thomas Davies, road labourer, was appointed to take charge of the weighing machine at Penrallt. EOADMEN AND THEIR WAGES. With reference to the reductiou of the road laborers' wages during the winter months, such steps having been taken last year, the Surveyor called the attention of the Board to the fact that he had made enquiries of seven Boards within the North Wales district as to their rate of wayres during the winter months to the men on their roads, and in reply he was furnished with information as follows One Board paid a higher rate of wages one Board a lower rate; and five Boards the same rate as the Holywell Highway Board but only two of these Boards reduced the wages during the winter season.—Mr. Edward Williams advocated a reduction of one shilling weekly.-Mr. Edward Hughes spoke (in Welsh by permission of the Chair- man) strongly in favour of the wages remaining as at present, and remarked that the wages paid was not much, and there were more hardships to be en- dured on the roads in winter than in the summer months.—Mr E. Pierce was of opinion that if the wages were reduced they would lose some of their best men-men whom the Surveyor said were well worthy the wages they received. In reply to a question the Surveyor said that the wages were re- duced Is. all round last year.—Mr. Thomas Jones (Bron fadog) Then there will be a 2s. reduction this winter !—Mr. Edward Williams No; I don't want to be hard. I only wish the wages to be re- duced by I s.-On being put to the meeting, twelve voted for the reduction of one shilling all round; there being only three in favour of the wages remaining as at present, viz Messrs. E. Hughes, John Ellis, and E. Pierce. SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. The monthly meeting of this Board was held on Monday last, Mr. J. Kerfoot Evans presiding, and there were also present, Mr. Isaac Hughes (vice- chairman), the Rev. John Pierce, Rev. D. Oliver, and Mr. Isaac Roberts. SCHOOL STATISTICS. The number of children on the registers in the various schools during the past month was 727 corresponding time of last year, 819, shewing a decrease of 92. SCHOOL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. The Clerk reported that a meeting of the above committee was called at the.instance of Mrs. Parry, mistress of the Spring Gardens Infant School, owing to the ceiling being out of repair a part of it having come down. Mr. Hughes, builder, had attended to the detect and the ceiling at present was comparatively safe.—Owing to the apprenticeship of some of the pupil teachers expiring in February next, Mrs. Pierce submitted the names of the following young ladies as candidates for the vacancies, Agnes Eustace, M. C. Jones and C. J. Junes.-It was resolved that C. J. Jones and M. J. Jones be appointed.—James Owen Davies resigned his position as monitor at the Bagillt School, and Samuel Barker was appointed in his stead. FINANCE COMMITTEE. A committee of members was delegated to ascertain the extent of the repairs required at the Bagillt School, an estimate for the carrying out of the same having been submitted by Mr. Richard Jones, builder.—Mr. Isaac Hughes expressed him- self desirous that the shop-keepers should have the "favours" of the Board equally divided amongst them, they being all ratepayers. AN APPLICATION. An application was made by the cleaner of the Bagillt School for an increase of wage3 owing to the winter months necessitating more work.—The matter was deferred. LOCAL BOARD MEETING. The monthly meeting of the above Board was held on Monday last, Mr. James Williams presiding, and there were also present—Messrs. R. Sankey, Jos. Garner, Evan Bryan, John Carman, E. J. Davies, David Williams, and J. Lloyd Price. Clerk, Mr. William Davies; deputy-clerk, Mr. P. Harding Roberts. I INSPECTOR'S REPORT. The Inspector (Mr. E. M. Evans) reported that the health of the town was satisfactory. He called the attention of the Board to several nuisances in various parts of the town, and the necessary steps were ordered to be taken for their abatement. The Ffynnon-y-gath Well, Penyball- street, was reported to be in a state of polution, and required cleansing. The Inspector was instructed to have the required work carried out. SURVEYOR'S REPORT The Surveyor reported that the Westminster Bath was leaking.—Iu connection with the lighting of the streets he reported that the eight additional lamps had been set up.The Chairman said the lighting of the lamps was not properly carried out. There were three or four lamps every night quite obscured. In drawing out the agreement with the lighter it would bè advixablo to add the words "properly lighted." -Mr. Carman said there were complaints from several places where 'amps had not beed fixed. -The question of additional lamps was left in the hands of tte Lijfhting Committee.—The lamp-lighter (Gomer Williams) appeared before the Board and explained the reason why some of the lamps were not satis- factory.—1 he Surveyor also reported that the stall- Williams) appeared before the Board and explained the reason why some of the lamps were not satis- fac t")rv.-The Surveyor also reported that the stall- holders were complaining of the draught in the Market, and on the motion of Mr Br van "h- qa<vuon wa r, to the Mark-: Cm,, mint ee. o Ah, p wers vver ii<-le;r.i-ed to haw any ttq:¡,rc;d wt:rk executed. DLALIABT BATh, The Collector reported tuat he had paid tae Treasurer on account of the general district rate the I cum of £ 115 os. 3d. I I THE BOARD AND THE WELSH FLANNEL COMPANY. The Clerk read the copy of the resolution which had been forwarded to Mr. W. Brown, chairman of the Flannel Company with reference to the employes of the Factory using abusive language towards the keeper of the well; and also with reference to the employes of the Welsh Flannel Company trespassing on the Well premises, and laying thereon a line of pipes to convey the water to the Mill pool. The following communication was received in reply:- Chester, Oct. 31st, 1885. DEAR SIR,—I trust you will overlook the delay in replying to your favour of the 24th, owing to my desire to lay your communications before my Board at their meeting yesterday. I am instructed to say in reply, there is nothing they would regret more than having committed a trespass, or in any way damaged the interest of the Ratepayers of Holywell. A supply of clean water being absolutely necessary for properly washing flannels, the pipe referred to was laid with permission from Mr. Price, upon information we had received that we were strictly within our rights in so doing. If, however, the Holywe'l Board believe we have committed a trespass, if they will kindly permit the Surveyor to point out the spot, we will remove or make compensation for the same. We admit that in laying the pipe in question we were com- pelled to interfere with the well for a short period, but the interference was unavoidable, and has not been repeated, except upon one occasion. As large ratepayers ourselves it is our interest to avoid anythidg .whatever that would be to their detriment, aud I fail to see in what way they have suffered any pecuniary loss through our operation, aud further, I trusted the incon- venience would be condoned upon consideration of our large expenditure in the district now amounting to L7000 per annum in wages alone, a fact which cannot be denied must result in keeping persons off the rates. Permit me in conclusion to acknowledge the courtesy we have received from the Holywell Board in our arrangements for rebuilding, after the very disastrous fire that occurred, and to assure you, it is our desire to reciprocate that good feeling to the utmost of our power.-Believe me to be, dear sir, yours truly, WILLIAM BROWN, Chairman of the Welsh Flannel Co. William Davies, Esq., Holywell. After considerable discussion it was decided on the proposition of Mr. Bryan seconded by Mr. Caoman that owing to the letter of Mr. Brown not being considered satisfactory, that the Board remove the pipes and disconnect them with the mill pool. It was also decided on the motion of Mr. Sankey, seconded by Mr. David Williams that the Board wait six days before puting the resolution into force, and in the meantime a copy of the resolution be sent to the company. After further discussion Mr. Sankey proposed that a lock be placed by the Board upon the floodgate of the mill pool, the lessee of the Well to take charge of the key. Mr. Garner and Mr. E. J. Davies did not vote. THE BALLOT. Pursuant to notice of motion with respect to the conducting of the elections of the Board by ballot, Mr. Evan Bryan moved "That this Board petition the Local Government Board for the adoption of the ballot in Local Board elections." Mr. J. Lloyd Price seconded the motion and said in the course of his remarks that inasmuch as the ballot had been adopted in parliamentary elections he did not see why the same course should not be used in Local Board Elections.—The Clerk said that the voter could only record one vote when the ballot system was in vogue as the cumulative voting would be done away with.—It was also resolved that the draft petition from the Swinton and JPendlebury Local Board to this effect, be adopted and for- warded to the Local Government Board. BRYNFORD COMMON. The next item on the agenda was the con- sideration of a numerously signed petition from the ratepayers of Penyball and district, asking the Board to make a new road across the Brynford Common.—The Deputy-Clerk said the matter had been before the Board before.—Mr. Garner was of opinion that the matter should not be neglected.— Dr. Williams bore testimony to the great incon- venience experienced in crossing the common on a dark night.—He had on several occasions been escorted from one house to another with a lantern, and it was very dangerous to drive a vehicle over the common. If the road was made it would in- crease the rateable value of the property, and also improve the commercial interest of the place.—Mr. J. Lloyd Price said it was unfair that the people of that locality should contribute towards the rates, and not receive the benefits of the lighting &c. The application was worth the consideration of the Board.—Mr. E. J. Davies said he was glad this matter had been again brought forward. For twenty-six years tht. ratepayers between Brynford and Pantasaph had paid Local Board Rates and those rates together with those of other parts of the district had been wholly spent in the improve- ment of the town:—Improving the Well, building the Market Hall, &c., whereas the ratepayers who signed the petition had not received one iota of benefit, which he considered a great hardship, and he hoped the prayer of their petition would be now granted.—It was ultimately decided that the Chairman, Messrs. James Williams, R. Sankey, Joseph Garner, and Evan Bryan, be appointed as a deputation to wait on the agent of the Duke of Westminster to confer upon the question of making the new road. AREA EXT; NSION. The Clerk read the draft of a letter bearing upon the question of the extension of the area of the Local Board, which he had received from the Local Government Board inquiring what part of the district would be affected by the proposed amalgamation. He also read a copy of the reply which had been forwarded to the same. COUNTY COURT: WEDNESDAY. Before His Honour Judge Horatio Lloyd. There were 130 new cases, and two judgment summonses entered for besring at this court, but none of them possessed any features of special interest. AN APPLICATION. Mr. H. A. Cope applied for the direction of the court with respect to an interpleader case heard at the last sitting in which the Anchor Spelter Co., and a Mr. Gibson were the defendants and claimants respectively. In consequence of the high bailiff being concerned in the case, His Honor ordered that the costs should be taxed at Chester. That had been done, but Messrs. Brabner and Court, acting for the claimant, gave notice that they objected to the taxation. He (Mr. Cope), therefore, wished the direction of the court as to whether the review of the taxation should take place at Holy- well or Chester.—His Honour agreed to hear the case on the following day at Ches ter. SETTLING ACCOUNTS. William Thomas, of Highbrook, Penyball, sued Edward Jones, of Greenfield, to recover 10s. the value of two hobbets of potatoes. The defendant pleaded a counter claim of the same amount, being money lent the plaintiff in 1876. The plaintiff admitted having received the money, but said it was given to him by defendant to go and inquire as to some property left by a deceased relative, on the condition that if he succeeded in obtaining the property he was to give him" a pound or two" in return.—Judgment for defendant without costs. A MINOR'S CLOTHES. John Hughes, draper, Bagillt, sued David Davies, of Mostyn Squares, to recover the sum of JE2 18s. 3d., being balance of account for goods supplied. Defendant repudiated part of the claim on the ground that it referred to clothes supplied to his son. It was shown that the defendant was then a minor, and therefore credit had been given to the father. Mr. H. A. Cope appeared for the plaintiff, for whom judgment was given for the full amount claimed.
