Mr. Robert Thomas ap- peared for the debtor. The debtor said that the whole of his liabilities amounted to ze45 14s. 6d. Two or three creditors, however, who opposed the application, stated that the applicant owed them between f7 and XS which the debtor had not included. His Honour said that he must not always be inclined to draw the lice at the zC50, but when a man came there without taking the trouble to find out what he owed he could not expect any favour at his hands, and therefore he should refuse the application.—James Jeremiah, labourer, Forth, with a wife and five children, with debts amounting to 937 3s. lid., made a similar appli- cation. His Honour reduced his liabilities to 10s. in the X, and ordered him to pay 6s. a month.—Thomas Perkins, labourer, Abernant, but formerly living in the neighbourhood of Pontypiridd, having a wife and two children to support, also applied for an adminis- tration order. The applicant owed £ 44 7s. 6d. Two or three creditors opposed the application, and one of them, a grocer, stated that the debtor had in two months got A:17 in debt for groceries. His Honour reduced his liabilities to 15s. in the X, and ordered him to pay 8s. a month.—Roger Price, 62 years of age, collier, Clydach Vale, with debts amounting to X25 12s. lid., also made application for an adminis- tration order. He was unable to follow his employ- ment on account of ill-health. He had 2a. a week from the fund to live upon. His Honour reduced his liabilities to 5s. in the X, and ordered him to pay 2s. a month.—The caae of Abraham Evans, Treorky, ad- journed from the last court, was next dealt with. Mr. Robert Thomas appeared for the debtor. Mr. Short, shopkeeper, Treorky, opposed the application. As the liabilities of the applicant exceeded £50 his Honour refused the application. A WATTSTOWN HOUSE CASE. John v. Huckstoh.—This was a case in which Thomas John, Wattstown, sued James Huckston & Son, Tonyrefail, for the sum of X6 10s., the price of a horse sold to defendants on the 5th January. The junior defendant admitted buying the horse, but said that it was upon the condition that the horse was to be returned if it did not suit. The horse did not suit. He sent three times to the plaintiff to fetch the horse away, and as he did not do so he (defendant) sent it to the kennel. He kept the horse three weeks and could only work it three days during that time. His Honour gave judgment for plaintiff for £ 4. TBBSPASSINO FOWLS SHOT —CLAIM fOR COMPENSATION Thomas v. Lbwis.—In this case Morgan Thomaa Tonyrefa;l. sued Edward Lewis, of the same place for tbe sum of 8s., the alleged valne of two fowls be longing to the plaintiff which the defendant had shot Mr Rbys (Messrs. Morgan and Rhys) appeared for the defendant. Plaintiff stated that on the 4th March, between 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning, ne heard two shots fired. He went out of the honse and saw the defendant with his gun under the wall in the garden. Asked him what he had been shooting, and defendant then pointed towards the wall where there were two hens shot. The hens belonged to him (plaintiff). Cross-examined—Had not Been a notice stuck tip that all fowls found trespassing would be shot. Had been told that there was one. Was living within 15 yards of the field in which the fowls were shot. His Honour gave judgment for the amount claimed. A TTLOBSTOWN HORSE CASK. LLOYD v. Bow.N.-This was a case in which David Lloyd, labourer, Tylorstown, sued Noah Bowen, Perth, for the sum of 96 1the money paid by plaintiff to defendant for a horse. Mr Rosser appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Rhys (Messrs. Morgan & Rhys) fer defendant. Ann Lloyd, wife of the plaintiff, stated that on the 15th February she and her husband saw the defendant and asked him if he had a horse and cart for sale. The defendant said Yes." Asked him if the horse was quiet, and defendant replied that she was as quiet as a lamb. Plaintiff bought the horse and cart, and paid 112. for them. She estimated the value of the cart at 31. and the horse at 81. On the following morning she had 2 cwt. of grocery in the cart. The horse would not pull but went backwards and kicked. On the 18th February she tendered the horse back to the defendant. Plaintiff was called and stated that the defendant at the time of the pur. chase had promised to return the money if the horse were not sound and good. For the defence Noah Bowen, the defendant, stated that the plaintiff and his wife came together to him and asked if he had a horse and cart for sale. He replied that he had. When asked about the horse he said he did not know anything about bar an he had only bad her a week, and had not had her out at all. He referred them to Mrs Rosser, who previously owned the mare, for in- formation. He told the plaintiff and his wife that the mare was quiet in appearance. He had often seen Mrs Resser driving her. but had never seen her kick. Mary Jane, wife of John Hammond, who was present at the transaction, stated that she heard the plaintiff's wife ask if the horse kicked and that the defendant replied that he had never pat the harness on her. His Honour, in giving judgment, said that it appeared to him that the parehaaer had net observed the necessary caution in buying the horse. It appeared that there was a reputation of some kind that the horse was a kicker. It was sarely the plaintiff's business then to try the stare before buying her, hat nothing of the kind was done. He must give judgment for the de- fendant. Jj, ILLEGAL DISTRAINT. Jonbs V. Reynolds.—This was a case in which Thomas Jones, groeer, Pentre, sued W. R. Reynolds, Tonvpandy, for tbe sum of £ 15, the valne of a sewing machine which had been sdized by the defendant.— Mr W. R. Davies appeared for the plaintiff and Mr G. David, Cardiff, for the defendant.—Mr Davies said thht the plaintiff was the owner of a honse at Trealaw, in the occupation ef James Maggs, who •wed him a considerable sain fer rent. It appeared that the defendant, who -was the agent-for Wheeler and Wilson, had supplied to the tenant a sewing machine en the hire system. After the distress baa been pat in by the plaintiff, the_ machine being in- cluded in the list of goods distrained upon, the de- fendant came to Maggs' honse and was told that the landlord had distrained for rent and was also shewn Paper in which the sewing machine was included j? "St of goods distrained upon. Defendant said mat he would take care of the machine and there- upon immediately removed it.

THE HOUSE-RENT REDUCTION AGITATION T. ■ AT TBEOBKY. REDUCTIONS PROMISED. l) At a meeting held in the Treorky Hotel, on Thursday evening, Mr Thomas Williams in the chair, a communication from Mr E. Evans was read, stating that the matter would have his fullest consideration, and that he had been speaking to other landlords, who were inolined to submit to the reasonable demand of tenants. (Hear, hear.) Mr E. H. Davies, Pentre, stated that he repre. sented landlords owning over 500 houses in the Rhondda and adjoining districts, and he had a number of houses himself. He could see no objec- tion whatever in submitting to a reduction. (Load applause.) The tenants fnlly deserved it. The great depression of trade bad reduced a large num- ber of the tenants to absolute poverty, and they were entitled to the sympathy of evety philan- thropic landlord. (Applause.) Perhaps the re- duction wc)uw not be so substantial as some of the tenants expected, but nevertheless, he would en. deavour by bis utmost energy to meet the wishes of his tenants. (Applause.) Mr Wise, who represents several houseowners, stated that he had received replies from Mr Evans and Mr B. Edwards, stating that they would wil. lingly submit to a reasonable reduction. Others had declined because there were so much arrears on the tenants. A representative of Mr John James, Bailey g Hotel, Pentre, who owns a large nnmber of houses at Pentre and other localities in the valley, stated that be had been authorised to say that Mr James was quite prepared to take off a reasonable percentage in the rents of his houses. (Applause.) Mr D. Lawrence stated that a committee which had recently been formed made a house-to-house visitation at Treorky and other localities in the valley for the purpose of ascertaining how many families were in urgent need of suceour. The re- port of the oommittee showed that 120 families were extremely impoverished. Donations towards relieving the distressed families will be thankfully received by the secretary, Mr "John XAshton, 43, Dumfries-street, land" the treasurer. Rev. J.

A GREAT REVELATION. I SOME VALUABLE THOUGHTS CONCERNING HUMAN HAPPINESS AND TIMELY SUGGESTIONS ABOUT SECURING IT. I SYNOPSIS OF A LECTUBK DELIVERED BY DB. TAYLO*, of NEw YORK, befokk THE Royal AQUARIUM SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY SOCIETY of LONDON. THE public speaker of the present day labours under difficulties of which the speakers of the last century never dreamed, for while the audiences of the past received what was said without question, those of > the present day are usually the mental equals or superiors of the ones who address them. Rev. Dr. Tyng, of New York, when a theological student, supplied a church in a neighbouring town, and on his way to preach one morning met an aged coloured man. "Well, uncle, do you ever go to hear the young preacher ? asked the unfledged doctor. "No, Massa," replied the negro, "dis chile don't let none o' dem students practis on him." The darkey had begun to think. The free and independent thought of this age accepts statements only where they are proved to be truth, while the development of mental power seems equally great in every other department of life. The valuable inventions of the day are counted by thousands. The increase of scientific study is universal. The spirit of inquiry in all fields is so marked as to cause comment on every side, while people seem investigating and advancing in every direction which can help them morally, mentally, or physically. This is specially true of the human body and everything which concerns it, and the truths which the people have found, even in the last 50 years, are simply marvellous. How really ignorant some cultured and supposably scientific people were only a few years ago, as compared with the present day, may be better understood from a few illustrative facts. A prominent American writer prepared an elaborate essay to prove that steamships could never crosB the Atlantic, and his j a nphlet was issued just in time to be .carried by the trst steamer that came to England. People once believed that the heart was the seat of life and health. J It is now known that this organ is only a pomp, simply keeping in motion what other and more important organs of the body have created and transformed. It was once supposed that if a person felt a pain in the back, the liver was deranged; if a pain came in the lower chest, the lungs wOTeEffected and consumption was near; it ist now known that a pain in the back indicates diseased kidneys, while troubles in the lower chest arise from a disordered liver and not imperfect lungs. A severe pain in the head was once thought to come from partial derangement of the brain; it is now known that troubles in other parts ot the body and away from the head, cause headaches, and that only by removing the cause can the pain be cured. It is a matter of private history that the American General Washington was bled to death. His last illness was slight, and caused principally by weariness. A physician was called, who bled him oepiously." Strange to say, the patient became no better. Another doctor was called, who again took away a large amount of the vital fluid. Thus in succession four physicians drew away the life of a great man who was intended by nature for an old age, and who prematurely died^-murdered by malpraetkoo-bled to death. That was the age of medical bleeding f Tht doctor then graphically described another period which came upon the people, in which they assigned the origin Ctf aH diseases to the stomach; and after showing the falsity of this theory, and that the kidneys and liver were the causes of disease, and that many people are suffering from kidney and liver troubles to-day who do not know it, but who should know it, and attend to them at once, con tinnecJ :-Let us look at this matter a little morl closely. The buman body is the most perfect and yet the most delioiate of all created things. It is capable of the greatest results, and it is liable to the greatest disorders. The slightest causes sometimes seem to throw its delicate machinery out of order, while the most Bimple and common-sense care restores and keeps them in perfect condition. When it is remembered that the amount of happiness or misery we are to have in this world is dependent upon a perfect body, is it not strange that simple pre- cautions and.. are not exercised 7 This is one of the most vital questions of life. People may avoid it for the present, but there is certain to come a time in everyone's experience when it must be faced. And here pardon me for relating the experience of a friend of mine. In the year 1870 he found himself losing both in strength and health. He could assign no eause for the decline, but it continued, until finally he called to his aid two prominent physicians. Aftei treating him fot some time they declared he was suffering 110111 Bright's disease of the kidneys, and that they could' do nothing more for him. At this time he was so weak he could not raise his head from his pillow, and fainted repeatedly. His heart beat so rapidly it was with diiffculty he could steep lungs were also badly involved; he could retain nothing upon his stomach, while the most intense pain in his be(ck attd boweU caused him to long for death as a relief. It was at this critical juncture that a physical longing whiofc he felt (and whieh b* nioet firmly believes was ail inspiration) caused him If send for the leaves of a plant be h" once-ktwwtt in medieal practie*. After great difficulty be at l«wt sseured them,; and began uef « the fortp 6f tea.

H» ietight &e eaaee of ptariMlMlferi*d, ditoeder, happiness and pain, j "( Afterdeaeribjpl: at length the offices of the kidneys and liver^lknd unportantpart in life, the^ocior went on to say Having found this great truth, I saw clearly the cause of my friend's recovery. The simple vegetable leaf he had used was a food and restorer to his well-nigh exhausted kidneys and li^r. It bad come to them when their lif* was nearly gone, and by its simple, yet powerful influence, had puri- ned, strengthened, and restored them, and saved him from death. Realizing the great benefit which a knowledge of this truth would give to the world, he began in a modest way to treat those afflicted, and in every case found the same happy results which lie had experienced. Not only this, but many who were not conscious of any physical trouble, hiit who at his suggestion began the use of the remedy which bad saved his life, found their health steadily im- proving, and their strength continually increasing. So universal where used was this true, that he deter- mined that the enure world should share in its results* and therefore pjaced the formula for its preparation in the hands of Mr. H. H. Warner, ot Bocnester, New York, a gentlemap whom he had cured of a severe kidney disease, and who, by reason of his personal worth, high standing, and liberality, in endowing the Warner Astronomical Observatory, and other public enterprises, has become known and popular throughout the entire Western Hemisphere. As might naturally be inferred, he felt a deep intei e-4 in the medicine, especially whpn he found out by indisputable prouf that it haa cured many cases fully as severe as bis own in various cities in the Dominion of Canada and the United States. Hp. saw at once that the knowledge of the existence of such a sterling remedy would save thousands' of lives every year, and for the sake of suffering humanity, and out of gratitude for what the medicine had done for him, he determined to devote a part of his fortune to the spreading of the merits of this wonderful rpinedv before the world. Mr. Warner's conviction that an acquaintance with the merits of Warner's Safe Cure only was necessary to create a demand for it from the tens of thousands who suffer from general debility, so-called incurable kidney and liver diseases and urinary dis- orders, was prophetic, and there are many thoubands who are to-day living in the best of health, who would long since have been dead, had not Mr. Warner se eced this humane method of doing a service to his fellow-men. Did he wish to do so, he ■:ould not now very well take any backward steps. He realizes that nothing short of carrying the knowledge of the wonderful power of Warner's Safe Cure to the ends of the earth will complete the work, which providentially spems to have been committed to his hands. It is for the purpose of helping to carry out the humanitarian pians crigin- ally devised by Mr. Warner, that, at this gentle- man's request, I am here before you this evening to hear witness to the wonderful power of Warner's Safe Cure. Laboratories were established some time ,.ince in Canada and Australia, and some two years since a branch office was opened here, but the extra- ordinary demand created in America and other -ountrieti which had been opened up, so absorbed Mr. Warner's energies, that heretofore he had not been able to carry out his full purpose in Great Britain. Now, however, he has his English machinery in fine working order, and expects to do as much for the incurably sick in this country as has already been accomplished in the United States, Canada, and Australia. I am aware a prejudice exists against patent uedicines, and that such prejudice is too often well ounded, but the value of' a pure remedy is no less )ecause it is a proprietary medicine. Over in America where Warner's Safe Cure has been so 'xtensively used, so great has been its fame, that he best physicians have been compelled to allow heir patients to use it, and in many instances nedical men, themselves convinced by the unim- leacbable testimony of thousands, have prescribed t with marked success. I have not the time in i discourse like this to produce the many flattering etters received, unsolicited, from medical gentle- nen. I will simply mention, that no less a person han Professor R. A. Gunn, M.D., Dean of the well- tnown United States Medical College of New York City, and Editor of the Medical Tribune, commends Host highly the virtues of this medicine; and that )r. Dio Lewis, the one great authority in America Iln matters of Hygiene, and an author of wide repute, frankly admits that Warner's Safe Cure is )ne of those happy discoveries which occasionally )ring help to suffering humanity. Among the lundreds of thousands of people in America who lave borne willing testimony to the efficacy of this remedy are senators, congressmen, bishops, clergy. men, doctors, lawyers, merchants, and all classes of men and women. How to restore the health when broken, and how !o keep the body perfect and free from disease must ever be man's highest study. That one of the greatest-revelations of the present day has been made in-ascertaining the true seat of health to be in the kidneys and liver, all scientists now admit; and I can but feel that the discovery which I have been permitted to make, and which I have described to you, is destined to prove the greatest, best, and most reliable friend to those who suffer and long for happiness, as well as to those who desire <o keep the joys they now possess.

ABERDARE LOCAL BOARD. The ordinary meeting was held on Friday under the presidency of Mr R H. Rliys, chairman. The seal of the Board was affixed to a new general dis- trict rate of Is 3d in the A, to produce £6,493.

Dr. Davies, the medical officer, reported two oases ef measles, and announced the gratifying intelligeaoe that the neighbourhood was now free from both typhoid and scarlet fevers.—Mr D. Davies, Caaen- street, had intended to move on this oooasien that the Board petition Parliament in favour of the Railway and Canal Trafio Bill, but he decided to postpone the introduction of the matter until the annual meeting. The Surveyor stated that there were 5,676 houses now connected with the public sower, leaving only 816 still to be connected.

(fYSTRAD LOCAL BOARD. ,p. The ordinary meeting of the Yatrad Local Board was held at the public offices, Pentre, on Friday, when there weie present, Mr John D-tries (iu the chair), Messrs D. Evans, W. Lux, T Griffiths, E. Davies, J. Walters, and J. Davies (Mardy). THE PROPOSED LOAN. It was decided to pay the actual travelling ex- penses of the legal gentlemen who are to come down to make enquiries respecting the proposed loan from the Bradford Savings' Bank. THE COAL LOADING ON THE SIDI: OF THE ROAD. Ia regard to the complaint that coal was loaded on the side of the road at Ynysfeio it was decided to write to the contractor stating that unless im- mediate steps wpre taken to abate the nuisance a summons will be issued against him. FENBHTS BOAD. A letter was read from Mr Crawshay Bailey's solicitors stating that the Board having taken land for a new road across Peurhys mountain, and given tip the old road to Mr Bailey, indemnifying him for any indictment by any petaon for stopping up and obstructing sucb portion of the old road, they must now otil attention to complaints made by the tenant cf damage sustained by him by persons in- sisting upon using parts of the old parish road transferred to Mr Bailey and the said tenant olaimed damages, and with a view of avoiding an iudictment or a claim for damages, they (the soli- citorsy suggested that the Board should take the requisite steps before the justices at Quarter Sessions to have the diversion legally confirmed.— Mr U. Evans said that he did not think there could be any trespass there because the new road was' nearer. The Board had received no complaints and be should think there was no necessity to go to Quarter Sessions.—Tbe Chairman said the farmer could not, it seemed, prevent people pass- ing through the yard of the house.— Mr J. Davies (Mardy) Let him prosecute them.- The Chairman He cannot—Mr D. Evans: I should put up a board at the entrance to his yard saying that there was no thoroughfare.—This was agreed to. A BIg BALANCE AT THE BANKKlt's. The Clerk said that the balance in the Treasurer's hands independently of what had been paid that day amounted to £9,419. BBPOBTS OF INSPBCTOBS OF NUISANCES. Mr J. W. Jones, the Surveyor, read the reports of the Inspectors of Nuisanoes. The inspector for No. 1 District reportel nine fresh cases of soar- latina and an increase of two cases of typhoid. The sanitary arrangements were in fair condition. Measles was decreasing in Blaenrhondda and Fernhill. The average cases under treatment numbered 21, while in the previous month they were 86. He was glad to say that but few cases had ended fatally. The sohools bad been re. opened. In No. 2 District the inspector reported 22 fresh cases of typhoid; 10 at Tonypandy, nine at Trealawand the remainder at Yetrad; five of the oases had proTel fatal. The sanitary arrangements were all right except at 43, Rhys btreet, Trealaw, and Tyutyla Road, but the defections had been remedied. In No. 3 District the Inspector reported that there were no fresh cases of fever, and the cases reported last month were progressing towards recovery.—Mr D. Evans remarked that it was a serious matter that there were so many eases of fever. He thought something must be wrong. He did not know whether it could be attributed to the water supply.-The Clerk said that he had re- ceived a letter from the Treherbert Chamber of Trade complaining of the bad quality of the water. -The Surveyor said they had no system of drainage at Trealaw but he was pushing it for- ward. The water tame from the water company. -Mr D. Evans But aocording to the Chamber of Trade the water is impure at the top of the valley; it ought to be parer down here.—The Clerk: It leaves its imparities behind, I suppose. A LAMP WANTED AT YSTRAD. A letter was read from Mr Treharne calling at- tention to the dangerous condition of the road leading to his house through there being no lamps. Two or three persons had fallen into the brook, but sustained no serious injury.—Mr D. Evans said he would go in for the same thing if Mr Treharne was going to get a lamp close to his house. (Laughter). -Mr T. Griffiths proposed that the letter be laid on the table.—Mr B. Davies seconded.—Carried. TENDEBS. For No. 4 section of the road improvements three tenders were received, the lowest being that of Mr John MaoJray at JB1107 16s 4d; the next lowest was that of Mr John Davies at J61118 5s 6d. —Mr E. Davies was against giving the contract to the lowest because Mr Mackay had already two contracts under the Board.— Mr D. Evans pro- posed that Mr Maokay's tender be accepted.—Mr John Davies seconded.—Mr E. Davies proposed that Mr John Davies' tender be acoepted.—Mr Lax agreed with Mr Davies that it would not be ad vis- able to giva too many sections to the same man, and he seconded the amendment.—Mr D. Evans remarked that Mr Mackay was not an ordinary coati actor. He did not think that it was always advisable to,give to the cheapest, but when they had a man capable of carrying out the work, be didn't see why they should not accept his tender. -Mr Evans' motion was carried, only the mover and seconder of the amendment voting against iL -For No. 5 section three tenders were received. In this can also the two lowest were Mr John Davies aDd Mr John Mackay, that of Mr Mackay's being about J633 lower than the other.—Mr J. Walters proposed that Mr Mackay's tender be ac- oepted.—This was seoonded by Mr Griffiths, sup- ported by Mr Lax, and carried.—It was decided to appoint as clerk of the works, to look after the foregoing contracts, Mr Thomas Jones who had been in the Board's employ before. SBWBBAGB. The Chairman said the next question was what they should do with regard to the construction of the main sewerage pipes in their own district.— Mr J. Davies (Mardy), thought they should adjourn the matter.—Mr D. Evans: We shall have no place to empty the sewage until the outlet is made, and then are we going to oairy it out by our own Surveyor or to got a special man ? -The Chairman: thought they had bettor have their own Surveyor to do it with some assistance. —Mr T. Griffiths considered that tho turveyor's knowledge of the district would enable him to pre- pare a scheme he bad a very good idos. of the physical formation of the valley.—Mr Lax I do not think there is anybody who knows the dis- triot better.—Mr D. Evans quite agreed and only mentioned the matter in order that it might be discussed. Ho would propose that they entrust the work to Mr Jones.—Mr Lax seconded and it was agreed to. TUB CONDITION OF THB NORTH BOAD, PORTH. Mr T. Griffiths said that he had promised on be- half of a deputation to bring the question of the North Road, Porth; under the consideration of the Board. People wore complaining that in the hot weather the plaoo would be nothing lpat a fever don if sewage matter and everything remained upon the land in a stagnant peal.-Tlle Surveyor said that he had received instructions to prepare plans, but a great part would have to be made under the Private Improvement Act. Ho hoped that day month to be able to produce the plans of that part of tbe district.—Mr D. Evans suggested that the Surveyor might bring it forward that day fortnight it ho ooull, so an to start the work.-The Surveyor said he would endeavour to do IO.-TII. Chairman askod if anything temporary eoald be do.TII. Surveyor replied he would noo. MUSICAL orvicum's BBPOBT. Dr. James, tbe medical officer, read his reports, who first report being a reply to enquiries of th* Loeal Government Board, relative te th* fever in the distriot, in which be stated that the number of fatal snses wan net extraordinary far snob a larg* distriot. The monthly report showed that there had been 186 deaths reported for Merck. 91 of which were infanta under five years of age, and during the j»me p*riod there had boon born 14* males and 135 females, total 279, thus pioduciug a birth and death rate respectively of 42-60 and 28*30 per 1000 per annum. The high mortality was dae- to the long and severe winter, and especially the stormy March, as 60 of the deaths were da. tie chest diseases. THE PROPOSED CjTTAGB HOSPITAL. Mr D. Evans drew attention to the proposal made some time ago for the erection of a Cottage Hospital to be erected in the district, and wished to know what had bpen done in the matter. Ha- remembered that there was some talk about erect- ing a small place on Pantsteddfa.—Mr J. Davies. (Mardy) Pantsteddfa is there sti:l.-Mr E. Davies said be had suggested that they should acquire Maindy Hall, but now it had been given to the Salvation Army.—Mr D. Evans It is said they won't accept it because there is £60 a year ground rent to pay. However, it is very important to have a hospital in case of an epidemio breaking out.-Mr J. Davies We have passed a resolution that we Rbould have one.—Mr D. Evans But it is a waste «,f time for us to sit here discussing and passing resolutions if they are afterwards allowed to pass into oblivion.— The Clerk said the last thing he remembered of it was that the Surveyor was instructed to report as to whether he could firfd some isolated honses for cottage hospital pur- poses.—The Chairman said the Surveyor had re- ported that he could not find any.—The Clerk sug- gested that the Surveyor and Medical Officer should report at the next meeting what they recom- mended to be done.-This was agreed to.
