LAMPETER. !
LAMPETER. SWEET MUSIC.—On Saturday the place was en- livened by the sweet strains from the Town Band who were assisted by two instrumentalists from Aberystwyth. The band playel for about half an- hour on the Square and were honoured by hav- ing a large crcwd of listeners. BEGGING.—On Tuesday at the Magistrates Clerk's Offices before John Fowden, Esq., P.S. Thomas brought up in custody a professional tramp named Joseph Edwards (38), hailing from Morrison, who was charged with vagrancy at High-street, Lam- peter, onthe previous day. Ex -Police Sergeant Evan Davies proved the case and stated that defendant was one of a group of three vagrants. Two stood watching while defendant accosted passengers beg- ging for pence which were afterwards spent in public houses.—Committed for fourteen days' with hard labour. EXCLRIO: .-Lampeter on Wednesday nearly presented the appearance of Gold-mith's deserted village." About 1,000 joined the Crilvinistie and Independent excursion to AberysUvyt-h, for which the return fare was Is 'id only. In the afternoon the shops were all closed for the usual weekly half- holiday when many of those who did not go %to Aberystwyth went to Aberayron for the sports and cyclists wheeled to Highmead which they had been invited to visit by the hospitable Lord Lieutenant of the county (Colonel Davies-Evans). The only sign of life remaining was in the vicinity of the Town Hall where a small Cwrt Bach" was held in the morning and the Town Council in the after- noon. COUNTY COURT, WED.VFSDAY, JULY 2ND.— Before his Honour Judge Bishop. Convenient Arrangement«.—The summonses for the Court are returnable at Len o'clock. Mr Howell, the registrar, attended and disposed of the undefended cases at a. quarter past eleven. Dur- ing the hearing of the undefended casrs, the Registrar said a certain case in. which Mr Watkins was engaged must go before the Judge.—Mr Watkins said he 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 take it.—Mr Watkins there- upon said he would drop t" e claim of 5s for damages which constituted the -'tort" and would accept at the hands of the Registrar judgment for the re- mainder. and the Registrar adopted the proposal. --As has been stated, the Registrar finis-lied his 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 Pumpsaiot 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 fuuny slips in trittislation from Welsh in to English. Judgment Summonxes.—In hearing these causes a case came on in which the debt was about £ 15 due from a working man. His Honour remarked on the unwisdom of allow ing working mP11 in receipt of small wages to get so heavily into debt and Mr Walter Davies, the plaintiff, replied that it was for food. If, he added, the man was honest he nould have paid.—The Judge said it was alright ito trust an honest man, but when he was found not to be an honest man by not paying, he should have heen trusted no more. In that case, plaintiff had al- lowed a man to get into debt because he chose to breed a lot of children. If shopkeepers would allow workmen to get into debt for E14, unless there were great reasons, he thought it a hardship on the labourers to ask them to pay 5s a week out of 15s wages. How many children had he— Plaintiff said he now had three only at home.—The Judge: How many h'cl' he bred and turned out iuto the world !-PlaiDLiff He has three now and four have gone out into the world.—The Judge And you have contributed £2 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. no lie is not yet an old man," his Honour gave judg- j ment for 5s a month.. Pric v JJJI'HIIS.— David Price, Maesffynon, Penuweh, Llangeithu, owner of Penlan, sued Mavy Evans, theformertenantof Penlan, for £ 1 for cutting down six trees. Mr W. Hugh' s Jones appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Watkins for the defendant.— Mr Hughes Jcnes sa d the trees were from fifteen to twenty years growth and grew upon the farm of Penlan, of which the defendant was once tenant. He believed the defence was this.—Mr Watkins said he appeared tor defendant and had not rd. I naled, his defence to anyone.—The Judge re- marked that Mr Hughes Jones was probably hav- 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. -PlaiCti ff was called and said six trees growing in a hedge had been cut down. He be- lieved they were fifteen to twenty years old if not more.—Thomas Thomas, Frondeg, and David Evans, Peniftb, the present tenant, gave evidence as to 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, three 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.-)Ir Watkins, for the defence, contended that timber included oak, ash, or, elm and must be of twenty years' growtn and upwards. A tenant had a right to cut down saplings, as sapliugs were equitable waste and did not apply between landlord and tenant when the cutting was seasonable.—The Judge said by such contention no saplings would ever become trees.— Mr Watkins admitted that that was quite so and therefore landlords must make agreements accor(lingly.-Tlie Judge said there were chestnut and larch trees in this country and he should want strong authority to show that those trees were not timber.—Mr Watkins then quoted Aubery v. Fisher, 10, East, 446, and Whitty 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. — VIr 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 spejial 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 law carefully, aivised patties before coming into Court to go to a solicitor in time for the solicitor to advise them or to get up' the case properly. — Mr Hughes Jones said it tint was done I there would be no work for his Honour to do. I (Laughter.)-The 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 Rees Jones, plaintitf, Daniel Jones, defendant, and J. E. James, claimant, and applied for an order on the Undersheriff for the payment to the claimant of zC56 9i now lying in his hands.— The Judge said the case had not bean heard, but in February, 189S, 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, AUGUST 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, The Clerk stated that the plan for water supply had been received and would be sent on to Bristol by the next post and on it receipt back again would be forwarded to the Local Government Board. It was hopeless to expect to supplement the water scheme this summer.—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 Grifliths paid water rates and Mr Ernest Lloyd replied that he did not.—Alderman Jones protested agaiust 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 rat", but from this (ime out no further general and district rates would be taken. NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr Joshua Davies not being present, no one moved a proposition, of which he had given notice to petition Parliament in favour of national old-age pensions and that Mill-street should be taken over and repaired by the Council. Mr Evan Davies moved that the path frcm 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 ramoval and said it was an eyesore and a o nuisance in its present position.—Alderman Jones was also in favour of removal.—Mr Von Davies supposed it would not be said that that matter had been passed in a hole-and-corner meeting. He believed there were members opposed to removal.—The Mayor said the matter 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- animouslv agreed to remove the urinal at -,nee.-It was agreed to defer to the next meeting the claim on the countv. 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 condition that Mr Davies would not buv from poachers and Mr David Davies said that he would not do that. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, FRIDAY, JULY 2Sth. Present Mr Lewis Davies, Llanycrwys, voted to the chair the Rev R. Cribyn Jones, Lam- peter Messrs Samuel Davies, Bett ws Bledrws R. J.

I Vaughan Davies, M.P., wrote acknowledging the resolution passed by the Board in favour of chairmen of boards of guardians being justices of the peace during their term of office and stating that it would receive his best attention.—The Chairman said Mr Davies did not say he was in favour of the resolution.—The Clerk He says it will receive his best attention. (Laughter.) A Pencarrttf Caw.—A woman from Pencarreg appeared before the Guardians and applied for out- relief for her sister who was blind.—The Chairman said he was informed that applicant and her sister had a number of cattle, pigs, and poultry.- Applicant No, sir. 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. Donation.—Amongst the cheques signed was one for £ 2 2s to the Carmarthen Hospital, this being the Board's annual subscription.

EvanS being the only members present, The most important items down on the agenda were the water supplies of Llanybyther and Peccarrec.

After some discussion, Mr Owen Jones gave notice that at the next- meeting he would move that the Education Department be p?titioned to make the- atrendance of children under fifteen years of age at evening schools compulsory.—A letter was rea 1 from the Education Department stating that the National School at Llwyngwril had been removed from the list of schools in receipt of parliamentary grants, which means that tho school has been closed altofrptht r. The Board were highly gratified by th; communication, because it will considerably strengthen the B )ard School and will enable the Board to claim a grant under Article 105 of the Code.

THE WELSH BORDER VOLUNTEER…
THE WELSH BORDER VOLUNTEER BRIG ADE ENCAMPMENT. The regimental baggage and stores of the 1st Shropshire Rifle Volunteers were conveyed by road to the camp at Towyn. On Monday morning six military transport wag?c ns and twelve horses, with regimental pioneers and baggage guard, started from Shrewsbury on their long journey. The party consisted of thirty officers and men, under the command of Captain E. J. Piper, who was accom- panied by Lieutenant B. Treasure. Monday's march was to Newtown via Weishpool, where the party encamped for the night on the Cannings (lent for the purpose by Mr Edward Powell), and on Tuesday the rendezvous was Machynlleth, where the company encamped in the Park (placed at their disposal by the Urban District Council). Towyn was reached on Wednesday evening, the total dis- t, tic e traversed being 75 rrcles. Colonel Anstice was prompted to make this new departure in com- pliance wft-h a circular just issued by the War Office, calling upon Volunteer corps to provide themselves with transport service. This is the first time that Snropshire Volunteers have undertaken a similar march since the present Earl of Powis's grandfather, who was colonel of i he Shropshire Yeomanry, accom- panied the Yeomaurv with baggage waggons hv road from Shrewsbury to Newtown to quell the Chartist riots.
