LAMPETER. SWEET Music.—Ou Saturday the place was en- livened by the sweet strains from the Town Band who were assisted by two instrumentalists from Aberystwyth. The band played for about half-an- hour on the Square and were honoured by hav- ing a large crcwd of listeners. BEGGING.—On Tuesday at the Magisirates Clerk's Offices before John Fowden, Esq., P.S. Thomas brought up in custody a professional tramp named Joseph Edwards (38), hailing from Morriston, who was charged with vagrancy at. High-street, Lam. peter, on the previous aay. Ex-Police Sergeant Evan Davies proved the case and stated that detendant was one of a of three vagrants. Two stood watching while cefendant accosted passengers beg- giog for pence which were afterwards spent in public hcu t, d for fourteen days' with hard labour. EXCURSION.—Lampetei on Wednesday nearly presented the appearance of Goldsmith's deserted village." About 1,000 joined trie Calvinistic and Independent excursion to Aberystwyth, for which the return fare was Is 3d only. In the afternoon the shops were all closed for the usual weekly half- boliday when many of those who (lid not go to Aberystwyth went to Aberayron for the sports and cyclists wheeled to Higlnmatl which they had been invited to visit by the hospitable Lord Lieutenant of the county (Colonel Davies-Evacs). only sign of life remaining was in the vicinity of the Town Hall where a small "Curt Bach" was held in the morning and the Town Council in the after- noon. COUNTY COURT, VV'KDNFSDAY, JULY 2SD.— Before his Honour Judge Bishop. Convenient Arrangements.—The summonses for the Court are returnable at Len o'clock. Mr Howell, the registrar, attended ami disposed of the undefended cases at a quarter past eleven. Dur- ing the hearing of the undefended cases, the Registrar said a certain case in which Mr Watkins was eagaged must go before the Judge.—Mr Watkins s-ud ho consented to the Registrar taking it and the defendant did not appear.—The Regis- trar said as a question of tort was involved, he therefore could not kkn it.—Mr Watkins there- upoa said he would drop tf e claim f 5a for damages which constituted the" tort and would accept: aii j tins hands of the Registrar judgment for the re- mainder. and ttie Registrar adopced the proposal. —As has been stated, the Registrar finished Itis work at a quarter past eleven in the morning and the Judge not having arrived, the Registrar in- formed the advocates in Court that horses from the Lion had to bring the Judge from Pumpsaint at half past ten and that his Honour must not be expected in Lampeter for half an hour. The Lion horses, however, seemed to have gone over the ground in a more rapid manner than the Registrar gave them credit for, and his Honour arrived in Lampeter at half past eleven and took his seat on the Bench at ten minutes to twelve. Fortunately there were not many cases to come before the Judge. While waiting for his Honour, the advocates and others endeavoured to keep themselves in good humour by relating funny slips in translation from Welsh into English. Judgment Summonses.—In hearing these causes a case came on in which the debt was about £ 15 dun from a working man. His Honour remarked on the unwisdom of allowing working mm in receipt of small wages to get so heavily into debt and Mr Walter Davies, the plaint -ft', replied that it was for food. If, he added, the man wa3 honest he could have paid.—The Judge said it was alright to trust an honest man, but when he was found not to be an honest man by not paying, he should haw; Leen trusted no more. In that cas?, pIailltiff had al- lowed a man to get into debt because he chose ta breed a lot of children. If shopkeepers would allow workmen to get- into debt for £ 14, unless there were great reasons, he thought it a hardship on the labourers to ask thqrn to pay 5s a week out of 15s wages. How many children had lie ?- Plaintiff said he now had three only at home.—The Judge How many has he bred and turned out into the world ?—Plaintiff He has three now and four have gone out into the world.—The Judge And yon have contributed X2 each towards turning them out into the world. He supposed the man was now sixty years of age and less able to earn than formerly.—Plaintiff having replied, Oh, tio he is not yet an old man," his Honour gave judg- ment for 5s a month. Price v Evans. — David Price, Massffynon, Penuwch, Llangeitho, owner of Penlan, sued Mary Evans,thtformerteuantof Penlan, for £1 for cutting down six trees. Mr W. Huuil'-s Jones appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Watkins for the defendant.— Mr hugphes Jones said the trees were from fifteen to twejbty years growth and grew upon the farm of Penlan, of vvjBich the defendant was once tenant. He believed +I,, Oefence. was this.—Mr Watkins said he appeared for defendant and had'not reo vealed his defence ts anyone.—The Judge re- marked that Mr Hughes Joues was probably fcav- ing a shot at it" and was within his rights in anticipating the defence.—Mr Hughes Jones be- lieved the defence was that the tenant had received notice by the highway authority to prune the hedge, but she had only a right to cut trees laterally. She had no right to lop or top.—The Judge said in the ca,e before the Court it was not a matter of lopping or topping, but of cutting down altogether.—Plaintiff was called and Said six trees growing in a hedge had been cut down. He be- lieved they were tiften to twenty years old if not more,-Thonias Thomas, Frondeg, and Davkl Evans, Pealan, the present tenant, gave evidence as 10 the trees, one saying the trees cut down were two ash and the others were birch.—David Evans said two of the trees were ash, throe birch, and one white thorn.—During the hearing of plaintiffs evidence an agreement between defendant and her previous landlord was put in which stated that the tenant was not to cut down timber and was to keep the fences in moderate repair.—Mr Watkins, for the defence, contended that timber included oak, ash, cr elm and must be of twenty years' growth and upwards. A tenant had a right to cut down saplings, as saplings were equitable waste and did not apply between landlord and tenant when the cutting was seasonable.—The Judge said by such contention noiaplings would ever become trees.— Mr Watkins admitted thit that wis quite so and therefore landlords mush make agreements accordingly.—The Judge said there were chestnut and larch trees in this country an,l he should want strong authority to show that those trees were not timber.—Mr Watkins then quoted Aubery v. Fisher, 10, East, 446, and Wbitty v. Dillon, 2, F and F, 57. Mr Watkins admitted that the custom of the country might have been pleaded, that it was not customary for tenants to cut down larch, beech, &c., but no evidence of custom had been given. — Mr Hughes Jones read a case by which trees, or that which was likely to become trees, were vested in the land- lord.—The Judge said that was no doubt so, but in the case before the Court there was a special agreement precluding the tenant from cutting timber and the definition of timber appeared to be oak, ash, or elm of twenty years' growth and up- wards.-After non suiting plaintiff, his Honour, referring to the fact that Mr Watkins had only been instructed that morning and had no time to look up the Inw carefully, ajvised parties betore coming into Court to go to a solicitor in time for the solicitor to advise themorto get up the case properly.—Mr Hughes Jones said it tint was done I there would be no work for his Honour to do. (Laugliter.)-Tite Judge thought there would then be more work for him to do, for he should have real cases'and not paltry cases. That case had opened his eyes and he should take care that his agree- ments should contain a clause about the cutting of saplings which might become trees. Interpleader. — Mr William Davies (Messrs Smith and Davies, Aberystwyth and Lampeter) appeared in the case of Reog Jones, plaintiff, Daniel Jones, defendant, and J. E. James, claimant, and applied for an order on the Undersheriff for the payment to the claimant of £56 9a now lying in his hands.— The Judge stid the case had not bean heard, but in February, 1898, had been struck out without costs on either side. He had therefore nothing furtherto do with it and could do nothing with it until he was enabled t) deal with it under a fresh interpleader summons.—Mr Davies contended that the parties consented, but the Judge said that though the parties were in Court and consented, he was functus officio and could do nothing. The Court rose at 1-30. TOWN COUNCIL, WEDNESDAY, AUGCST 2ND — Present: Alderman D. Tivy Jones, mayor, pre- siding Alderman John Jones Councillors Evan Davies, Stephen V. Davies, David Davies, J. Ernest Lloyd, and William Davies Messrs David Lloyd, clerk, and T. Moore, surveyor. THE WATER SUPPLY. j Tne Clerk stated that the plan for w>.ter supply had been received and would be sent on to Bristol by the next post and on it receipt biclc again would be forwarded to the Local Government Board. Is was hopeless to expsct to supplement the water scheme this snmml,r, -A letter was received from Mr Griffith Griffiths, Dolaugwer- ddon, saying he had written to the Local Govern- ment Board relative to what he called the unreason- able conditions of the water supply scheme and asking that body not to sanction it until it was made clear that the borough would benefit by what. was done—Mr William Davies asked if .Mr Griffiths paid water rate3 and Mr Ernest Lloyd replied that he did not.—Alderman Jones protested against Mr Griffiths'* interference and Mr Ernest Lloyd added that it was true that up to last year a small amount was taken from the general and dis- trict rates to help the water rate, but from this time out no further general and district rates would be taken. NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr Josh via Divies not being present, no one moved a proposition, of which he had given notice to petition Parliament in favour of national old-age I pensions and that Mill-street should be taken over and repaired by the Council. Mr Evan Davies moved that the path from the new Baptist Chapel to the Teify bridge should be completed that resolutions directing the removal of the urinal should be carried out and that the claim of the borough against the County Council with regard to pavements should be enforced.—Mr David Davies seconded the removal and said it was an eyesore and a nuisance in its present position.—Alderman Jones was also in favour of removal.—Mr Von Davies supposed it would hot be said that that matter had been passed in a hole-and-corner meeting. He believed there were members opposed t,) removal.—The Mayor said the mntter was quite in order as due notice had appeared on the agenda and Mr Evan Davies said that members ought to be present instead of going on a one-and-three penny excursion.—It was then un- animously agreed to remove the urinal at once.-It was agreed to defer to the next meeting the claim on the county. LICENSING, The Council granted a game licence to Mr Evan Evans (Deheudir) for his new shop on the Bryn, Mr David Davies remarking that Mr Evans had spent a great deal of his own money, and probably of other people's also, in improving Lampeter.—Mr Von Davies seconded the proposition on eondition that Mr Davies would not bav from poachers and Mr David Davies said that he would not do that.

I had a steer once, but it has been killed and sold.—In further reply, she said that the cattle and pigs which they looked after was the property of a certain man.—The Chairman said before the Guardians could grant, relief appli- cant would have to prove conclusively that she and her sister were not the owners of the stcck which they tended.
