Death of Mr. E. Mounsey, J.P., Uanfairfechan. Close of a Useful Career. AFTER an illness of some month's duration, Mr Ed'.ward Mounsey, J.P., of "Moranedd, Llan- fairfechan, passed' away peacefully at the ad- van,ced, age of 78 years on Tuesday morning. The deceased gentleman WAS one of the best- known and most respected' professional men in Liverpool, and no less popular and esteemed! was he at Llanfairfechan. He has ibeen con- nected with 'this- pretty little seaside resort for many years. When "Moranedd"-—the quaint- J looking residence erected; by the late Mr Henry Platt on the seashore-w,as offered 'for sale a few years ago, Mr Mounsey purchased' it, and since then he has practically lioved altogether at Llan- fairfechan. For upwards of a decade previous to that, however, the deceased gentleman had paid! lengthy visits, to (the place. A native of Liverpool, he served his articles to the late Mr Thomas' Whinerah, accountant. On the death of Mr Whinerah, Messrs 'Mounsey and Lewis acquired the business, and com- menced' their very successful career under the title of Messrs Lewis and Mounsey, chartered accountants, 3, Lord-street. He was a director of the Liverpool Mortgage Insurance Company, Liverpool Investment (Building Society, and the Liverpool Reversionary Interest Company, Ltd. Mr Mounsey rose to the head of his profession, for he not only filled the office of president of the Liverpool Society of Chartered Accountants, and that of President of the Students' Society but in 1890 he was elected to the Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (England and Wales), in the place of the late Mr A. W. Chalmers-a position to which he was afterwards re-elected. Apart from his business, it was the Baptist denomination, and particularly the Myrtle- street Chapel, that claimed the greatest part of the time and devotion of the deceased gentleman. For ei'ghteen years he was treasurer of the church, an-di until ?h* 9everance from the con- 's gregation., three or four years ago, he was the senior deacon. Mr Mounsey was a memlber of the 'Baptist Council in London, and also of the Council of the Baptist Association, of Lancashire and Cheshire. In politics MR Mounsey was a Liberal, but he never took a prominent part in party contests, and although many tiroes asked to come forward as a candidate for the City Council he always declined the. honour. He was a member of the Reform and! Junior Reform Clubs, and was at one time a member of the committee of the Rod- ney Ward Liberal Association. In 1893 Mr Mounsey was appointed a justice of the peace for the city, and) up to a recent date, was regular and assiduous in the d!s- charge of the duties of his office. Mr Mounsey leaves a widow, three sons, and two daughters, with whom universal Sympathy is felt in their bereavement. The eldest son, Mr Wm. Edward Mounsey, was married! at Liverpool on Monday to Miss Ada Hughes, daughter of Sir Thomas Hughes. The ceremony was originally arranged for Tuesday, .but having regardAo the serious condi- tion of the deceased gentleman's health, it took place quietly on Monday.

Marriage of Mr W. E. Mounsey and Miss A. Hughes. THE marriage of Mr William Edward, Mounsey, eldest son of Mr E. Mounsey, J.P., Llanfair- fechan, and Miss Ada Hughes took place on Monday afternoon in Christ Church, Linnet- lane. It was originally fixed for Tuesday, but owing to the serious illness of the bridegroom's father it was celebrated on Monday very qu:etly. The service was choral, and the Rev Canon Ir- ving performed the ceremony. The bride was escorted and subsequently given away by her father, Sir Thomas Hughes. She was attired in a most charming gown of cream-coloured cloth, beautifully braided, and trimmed with ecru point d'esprit, and it also hadi panne and guipure lace medallions, prettily finished with French knots of pale blue silk. Her white hat, with the new torpedo-shaped crown, had a wide sailor brim. It was all covered plainly w.th real lace embroidery, and finished at the edge with pearl white moire. Round the crown was a flat wreath of pink tinted, camelias, and a cluster of panne flowers just rested in the hair at the s:de. Her only ornaments were a dia- mond and pearl pendant on gold: chain, given by the bridegroom, and a diamond crescent brooch from the bridegroom's mother. Miss Maud Hughes, sister to the bride, was t,he only attendant. She looked wonderfully well in pale pas'tel pink cloth, with decoration of chenille and guipure lace, and a pale blue waist belt. With this she wore a black beaver picture hat, and' her bouquet of roses. and a pearl pendant were presented by the bride- groom. Mr H. Christian Jones, of Hoylake, undertook the duties of best man, and he was assisted by Messrs H. P. Mounsey and Arthur Hughes. At the conclusion of the ceremony Sir Thomas and Lady Hughes received the immediate rela- tives of both families at their residence, Spring- wood. Lady Hughes was wearing a distinctive black brocaded dress with rose point lace, and her cream bonnet had moleskin and lace on it. 'Mr and 'Mrs W. E. Mounsey left early for London, en route for Paris and Biarritz, where they intend to spend the honeymoon. Mrs Mounsey travelled in a blue canvas costume, trimmed with orchid blue panne; a large black picture hat, and a chinchilla pelerine.

Williams called the Council's atten- tion to the reports that there was an excessive amount of Sunday labour on the new Promenade works. He' had instituted inquiries personally, and he was pleased to find that the reports had! been greatly exaggerated. As a matter of fact, there was no Sunday work done other than which was absolutely necessary, viz., pumpm'g, etc. Dr. Brooks and Mr Newell confirmed this statement. The Chairman said he felt sure they could rely upon the'r contractor in that matter, as he was "a splendid man." (Hear, hear.) Sewer Extension. Reference was made 'to Mr R. E.
