The lease ot Balnioial House was in hi3 name. Mr Powell, the landlord, said he had no objection to the company tikicii over the house, but he must look to witness lor the rent. Air Powell had made a claim for re- pairs and the letter had been handed to his (wit- ness's) London solicitor.

Air Bentley was re-eyamined by Air Hughes and said that the com- pan} iei.ci>ed all the receipts. Ho did not retain a single farthing from start to finish. Several iiKetings were held before opening at all by Air Buckh-y, Mr Kerr, Captain Flower and the matter was put into the hands of Mr Pybus to form a com- t, y. There was so much delay on Mr Pybus's oehalf that his account was paid and the matter given to Mr Adams. Mr Buckley, Captain Flower, Miss Lott, Mr Garnett, were to put money into it.—By Mr Owen Mr Buckley was present at all the meetings and so was Mr Garnett, he thought. —By Air Hughes: Mrs Flower might not have been, but all were informed what had been done. He was acting as managing director all along and it was agreed that he was not to put a fraction of money into the concern. Before opening plaintiff's account informed Mr Jones, the manager, that a company was to be registered at once and that lie was managing director. Mr Jones asked who had put y into it and he (witness) replied "all the or ct people about here—Mr Buckley and uthets. I 'un ma:)agEr,"he added, "and yon must not mix it up with my personal account."

Saw Air Owen (acting for Powell) several tim's about the lease, but never said any- thing to liim about Mr Buckley as he had said he had to t ike the house in his own name.

Mr Ba-ihonght th t 1, t Bal- moral House wouhl su't tne ciub and before the company was registered Mr Buckley had so taken rooms.—Air Owen And because he rock rooms you wanted him to pledge his credit for E40 worth of mtat. — Witness rep ied t .t he told Air Buckley that Air Newell's accouut was so much and what everybody else's account was. Tli,-i- was an ar- rangement between the club and the company. Air Buckley was secretary of the club. A waiter and his wife were engaged at Mr Buckley's request. The husband acted as waiter of the AL.wdd ich Club and the wife as cook.—The Judge humorously ob- served that there was something "i iiit about that arrangement at all events.

(Laughter.) Air Buckley contributed f 50 in anticipation of shares. He afterward lent the company E20 towards pay- in, the rent. -The Judge said there wcas no evidence of any payments on account of partnership.—By Mr Owen: Since the last Court wrote to Mr Buckley advisiog him to s- e Air Hughes. Paid all moneys of Orielton and Balmoral into Air Bentley's account. By Air Husrhes It was not quite true so that Air Bentley should be able to carry on the concern that the money was advanced. At the beginning they made a prospective payment in order that Air Bentley should have cash to carry the thing along. —The Judge said he did not see the shadow of evidence of partnership. Air Bentley was evidently throwing a sprat to catch a mackerel but the mackerel did not come. All the documentary evidence was very inconsistent with the case set up for the defence.—Mr Hughes asked that Mr Buckley should be put into the box before judgment was given and that being done, in reply to Air Hughes's crcss examination, said he had made the remark referred to in private conversation with Captain Flower as stated. He knew that Mr Bentley was working for others and that lie (witness) was one ot tnose uni,.ituiute olae.-s. Air Bentley suggested the company and he (witness) acted on the suggestion. They talked it over in the smoke room. They thought it a good thing, that shares should be given, and that Mr Bentley should be manager when the company was formed. He knew that Mr Bentley had no money to put into the concern. Was aware that the business was commenced before allotment as there was so much delay in legal matters. He thought the advance was share money and that the shares would be given afterward. Knew that debts were being con- tracted and that money must be got to carry the business on. It did not strike him that he was re- sponsible for the debts pending formation of the company. If there was any loss, he thought it could be m^t out of the assets of the company. Though he might be liable for some of the debts, the debts were not incurred without his knowledge, but he certainly did not authorize Mr Bentley to incur them. At trie meeting in the smoke room it was generally understood that Air Bentley was to 20 on. He did not specially authorize Air Bentley. Knew Air Bentley was manager until the company was formed for others, witness iuchnied. Thought it reasonable tl1 t Mr Bentley should pay the'sum, because he went into the business and he (wdtness) had lost his money.—The Judge said he did not see the authority.—By Mr Bryn Roberts It was to be a limited iia.ility company and he thought he said he would take fifty shares. Excluding the C20, which was a lean to the company aft:r the company was formed, evvry penny he paid he expected to g-t back in shares and that was Lin Hughes said lie was taken by surprise by the idea that the only question to be tried that day was whetner Buckley was associated with Air Beut'cy either by himself cr by others and asked for adjournment.—The Judge said he could give judgment teat (lay and reserve to Mr Hughes the right to deal with the question of novation at the next Court. The evidence of the case was now closed. Tr,a advocates then addressed the Court, Air Bryn Roberts pointing cut that the total purchases from Air Newell amounted to £6-! 14s 7d £ 39 ]2s before the formation of the company and £ 25 Is 8d afterward. The sum of JE20 had been paid by the company and could not be appro- priated except towards a debt of the company. There was therefore the sum of i5 Is 8d which could not be recovered.—The Judge, summing up, said it was a case in which he had a great deal of sympathy with Mr Bentley because he was not very 1 clear that Air Bentley was aware of his position. At the same time, he must stand the racket. When he undertook to pay all expenses up to allotment and to look to the company for reimbursement, however, he was quite clear as to his position. If 1 he (his Honour) held that those gentlemen were his f principals he should hold, not conclusively, that] they were committing a very grave breach of the Companies Acts in regard to "starring" names. He did not want to say anything about the questions of novation and election, which had been raised, to militate against Mr Hughes's right to bring them again before him. He was only de- ciding that case for the purpose rf clearing away the facts once for all and if he was asked to stay execution until after next Court he would do so.— Mr Hughes having so applied, his Honour gave judgment on the facts against Mr Bentley for f39 12s Sd, granting stay of execution until after the next Court, with costs, any special application far costs to be made to the next Court.

Mr Alorgau Edwards, the surveyor, reported that Thomas Vaughan Lewis had cut a drain across the road at Rhosygedol, near Nautfallen, and had laid a thirteen-inch iron pipe to make a water course for the purp- 'se of working a new water wheel on his farm. This he had done without permission either oi the Cuucil or the Surveyor. He obtained tec water from a drain running alongside the main road.—The Clerk said Lewis called on him and he (the Clerk) told him that he had acted wrongly in doing the work without the sanction of the Council or the Surveyor. Lewis said he had acted who!Iy 111 ignorance and was prepared to do anything re- quired by tne Surveyor to be done.—Tne members tor the parish together with the Surveyor were asked to visit the place and report to the Council. 1'E:\ LA:\ r:ICA ROA. D. The matter of taking over this road was deferred at the last meeting in order that the Parish Coun- cil might present their case for transferring the road. A letter was now read from the Parhh Coun- cil stating that the Council passed a unanimous resolution asking the District Council 1-1 take it over and giving reasons why it was aclvis bit toey do ao. The road led to over two doaa-n houses, most of which were iinall farmhouses. — Air E fl. Evans said when the question came before the Counc 1 they divided on it and there was only a mjority of six to ■five. As there were so tew members pr-sent, In suggested that the matter should be ailiouroe — Air John Alorgan said he did not under >t;uid tit t cm re was any objection to taking over of the road, .-••my some of the me-.ibers wishe.. the application to i'o;ne f: o n tii?

The inspector's report was also de- l\ rtvd. T.H. I!EN LLY.S ItOAJjS. Air Hughes, th.e sttt veyor, presented a report, as in the parish of Hettbys. He had measured them as requested and found their iengths to Vie—Bryngolau to the junction with the other read by Brynclenl, h.

He might stat"is •o the latte-r tisat it was of a fair width on the Whole with the -exception of some two or three Points-where it required to be widened a little. The most expensive portions of it were those he- tween Bryngoiau and CerrigCaranaT: uchaf and that between Pautydwn and the junction with the sooth read near Bryullys. These were the portions which i t quired the most metalling, the foundation being sett. The ecstof putting the road in a fair condi- tion by making channels, widening and metalling it (including manual and team hhour, material, etc.) would be about As to the gates, the occupiers of the land were willing to meet the wishes of the Council. At the same time they thought it would be a great advantage for them if the Council kindly allowed them tc Keep four gates out of the nine, as the removing of five gates would mean a lot of fencing. MILEAGE OF ROA1)s, Mr Richard James moved in accordance with notice that the several district road surveyors should be directed to make a return of the mileage of roads in their respective districts. Mr James said his object was to ascertain exactly the mileage y .1 of roads in each parish and the corresponding ex- penditure. He did not think it would be a very difficult matter for the surveyors and it would be a great advantage. They would be able to compare the sums the different parishes received per mile for their roads.Ilr E. J. Evans asked what Mr James's plan for measuring was ? Upon Air James saying he had no plan. Mr Evans suggested that the Council should apply tor the loan of the apparatus of the County Council. He added that they had some time ago received the estimated lengths of the different roads, but they were only compiled by guess. He had endeavoured tc obtain the correct lengths before, but the difficulty vwv- the measuring. It was agreed that it would be a great advantage to know how much money was spent on each district. He knew that at, present too much money was spent on some roads and too little on others. He seconded the proposition on the understanding that application be made to the County Council for their measure.—The proposi- tion was carried. EMPLOYMENT OF WORKMEN. Mr Rd. Jenkins moved that the road labourers be employed at day work for three days only per week during the summer months. Mr Jenkins said he noticed that day month that most of the men had been working by the day in three or four districts cutting stones. He could not see what they had to do on the roads at that time of the year. Of course they could cut stones for the winter, but he should like to know what they had to do besides. In his opinion they had nothing to do. The men could get plenty of other work now from the farmers — The Chairman Your contention is that the men have nothing to do except oa three days during the week.—Air Jenkins said he would give them three daYiJ a week to cut stones ready for winter.—The Chairman suggested that this matter be also de- ferred. The surveyors could make a statement in the meantime as to the work that was done, -Mr E. J. Evans proposed that, the matter be postponed until the next meeting and that the surveyors bring in a statement a3 to the state of the roads and the work required to be done. He found that there weresome of the mcii at present cutting stones by the day. That should not be. The surveyors should also give them an estimate of the quantity of stones required for the winter.—The proposition was agreed to and the Council rose. PETTY SESSIONS, Wednesday, JULY 13tit.— before Thomas Hugh Jones, Griffith Williams, Isaac Hopkins, John Lewis, and John Morgan, Esqts. Alleged Obxtructiov.—Air Rees Jones, borough surveyor, summoned George H. Pemberion, described as a shopkeeper, Great Darkgate-street, for having refused to remove a portico in Great Darkgate-street so as to constitute an obstruction. —Air A. J. Hughes appeared for the prosecution and Mr Owen for Mr Pemberton.-illr Hughes stated that, by mistake, the summons had been taken out under the Act of 1847 whereas it should be taken out under the Act of 1888. He therefore applied for leave to withdraw the summons and should issue another for next week under the Act of 1888. -MrOwen said that he and his client had twice ittended that Court to meet the summons taken Dut under the Act of 1847 and if the summons was withdrawn, he asked that costs, including idvocate's fee, should be allowed him and Mr Pemberton,—The Bench allowed costs aa applied for, thinking that as a mistake had been made it should be paid for.

He had road of ma iy pi .cas where children had been taken ill and ice cream had been the cause.—Air Wrn. Thomas thought it would be preferable to have definite information on the subject before giving their opinions and discussing the subject like that.—The Chairman suggested that Mr Evans should submit a written report on the rfiatter.-Cal)tain Doughton then gave the Committee the result of the analysis privately. Concluding, he asked why should a private member have to call attention to a matter of that kind ? The Inspector and Medical Officer ought to do their duty. They did not do it. That was plain.—The Surveyor I do not see why you should say the Medical Officer and the Inspector have net done their duty. I sent James Evans Captain Doughton Can you explain, Air Jones, as surveyor, if you have inspected this place where this ice cream is made and if the Medical Officer has ? I challenge you both to say you I.i N-e. Wm. Thomas, interposing; made a "tatcment which he did not wish to be made public.—Capt Doughton: I say this publicly. I do not care who knows it. Some time before last Nieek I met the Aledical Officer and the Surveyor. I asked them if they narl been to see tne place in jfenmaesgtas-roaei where the ice crcan wr.s made. They saiei tNo, the man was not there." I asked them if they would mind coming back again by four o'clock as the man was generally in by that time. I thougnt they did go back, but a day or two after I asked the Medical Officer whether he knew the result of the analysis. He replied, "Yes" I asked him if he had seen the place and he slid he had not.—The Surveyor said a week ago he sent E.ans down to the place. After making an inspection of the place, iie reported that he found nothing in any way offensive there. He said the walls were black as the result of the old smithy which had been there, but the place was perfectly clear of accumula- tions.—Captain Doughton said he did not dispute that the inspection had been made. But previou.? to the tim° when he (Captain Doughton) called at- tention to 'die matter no inspection had been made. —The Surveyor said an inspection was made when the water supply was put ill, -C.ptain Doughton I think it epmes more under the province of tne Aledical Officer than the Inspector.—The Surveyor said he would see that the place was inspected three or four times a. week if they wisimd. He w s snro that if it came to his knowledge that there was a .y- tbing wrong ire would t ike the matter up at olici, --Captain Danghton: I am very glad to hear you say so. That is all I want.—Air Peake What about the other places? There are other places where ice cream is made. If you inspect one you must inspect all.—Captain Doughton said he was suspicious of the potato peel in this place which he feared was allowed to accumulate.—Mr Pe;.ke We do not know what there is in other place«.— Captain Doughton: We know what they --I, was then understood that the Sub-Inspector wouhl present a report on the matter.—Air Peake (huigh- lugly) Ice cream inspector.—Captain Doughton It is no laughing matter. It is no laughing matter that a member of the Council should ÍiiLVd to poiut out these things.—A petition was presented, signed by several inhabitants, drawing the attention of the Council to what was termed the serious nuisance caused by the frying of fish in Spring-gardens, Tre- feehan.—On the suggestion of the Chairman, the matter was left in the hands of the Surveyor, Aledical Officer, and the Town Clerk, Mr William Thomas observing that no one disputed the desir- ability of putting a stop to the business if they could legally do it.

It was found that tLere was a deficiency m reiipect to the Aberdovey sewerage works, water v.orks, and the Towyn Alarket Hali. In respect to the sewerage works, the expenditure already had been £ 3,557. There was still due to .the Engineer £ 60 and it was estimated that about £ 40 would be required for various thiogs. They had borrowed £1,99(j and £ 1,500 for these works, total, £ 3,496, so that they still required at least JJ200. On the water works account up to March they had pa:d £ G.125. Since then they had paid {7tH, making a total of £ 0,926 paid. In ere were items still due amounting to £150, so that Ihe. total expenditure had been £ 7,076. For the water works they borrowed £ 6,000. Thus there was a deficiency ot about £ 500. Altogether there was £ 775 required for Aberdovev iu regard to the Towyn Market Hall the total ex- pcneliture would de about £ 1.800. Loan already sanctioned was £ 9dCx and Air Corbett's contribution was £ nll, a total of £ 1,-141. There was thus a deficiency of £:339,- .lr Maethlon James asked whether it was necessary that the Local Govern- ment Board should hold all inquiry before they could get sanction to borrow?—The Clerk said it was. The only eases he had teen where such loans were granted without an inquiry were when esti- mates were produced at tho lm-t inquiry, showing that such addit:oea! amounts would be required. In that, case the I.m-qemtr r would know what the money was loa.—Air James said the Council could apply for a loan in respect to the proposed construction oi pavements and suggested that the motion of which notice had been given by Mr John Jc.r,e, should be considered ns soon as possible The Clerk said the Council could notify the Local ilt, Board of their intention to borrow money i\!1; the details could be supplied later. The Council thcu passed a re olution to apply for powers to borrow momy nor these purposes.—The Survey.:r v.-f.s instimetrd 1 convene a nieeting of tile Towyn Committee to into the matter of pavements.
