This was so as they had made a marked progress. SECRETARY'S REPORT. The Secretary's report was then read as follows :— The committee are glad to be again able to give a satisfactory account of the work being done in Colwyn Bay by the district urse. Special thanks are due to the North Cam- brian Needlework Guild for their useful gifts, and also to the Mutual Benefit Society for the sum of 10s 9d, and to the Co-opera- tive Society for £1 Is, these last named donations being specially gratifying, as ihowing the general interest which is being taken in the Association. Many thanks are also due to those who have so liberally added donations to their annual subscrip- tions, and to all others who have given their time, and their money, in support of this charity. The total receipts of tho year, together ^vvith the balance from last year, amount to £179 6s 2d, and the expenditure to JE136 18s lOcI, showing the balance of j642 7s 4d. The increased support accorded to the Association has enabled the committee to furnished a cottage for the nurse, as it was most essential that she should have a per- manent home. Miss Pritchard, the inspector of Queen's Nurses for Wales, visited the district twice during tho year. The committee of the Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute stated that they had considered the report re- ceived from their inspector, on the Colwyn Ba-y distriot, of May 23rd, 1906. Nurse Bailey is a good nurse and her work was well done. Everything appears to be going on in a satisfactory manner." In conclusion the committee submit the nurse's report and a statement of accounts, which they trust will be sufficient evidence of the satisfactory progress of the work in the district. The Chairman said the report was a good one and very complimentary to the nurse. On the proposition of Mr D. GambV, seconded by Mrs Roger Edwards, the report was adopted. NURSING WORK.

Mr Reynolds pointed out thic the num- ber of visits paid was extraordiuu.-y, and showed with what devotion the n ir.se had Performed her work. Mr James Wood, in moving tho adoption of the report, said he could only echo the astonishment the chairman expressed. He K-as connected with the Cottage Hospital, ^nd they had about 60 or 70 patiorts in Jhe year, but the number attended to by ],e. nursc was astoundring, and thfy \yre aU indebted to her very much (applause).

Great credit was due to tho "ltOors. He did not know how the ladies but the gentlemen had a rooted ob- jection to going from house to house, askij.g for subscriptions. It must indeed be heart- breaking, considering the time spent, to re- ceive a refusal. Mrs Whitehouse, Bryn Mostyn, seconded, and this was also unanimously carried. THE NURSE. The Chairman said the last, but by far not the least part of the business was to thank the nurse for the excellent manner in which she had performed her work in the parish. Mr J. Wood said that he felt rather out of place, in proposing the vote of thanks, as h« had rendered tlie Association no help, although it had his warmest sympathy. He had closely observed the work done by Nurse Bailey. He had seen and heard almost daily in many quarters of her many kindly acts. He had also heard from experts how exceedingly skilful she was. He knew thdt many would be very sorry indeed at the prospect of losing Nurse Bailey, and when she moved into q higher sphere he was sure they would all wish her very gre-at happiness and blessing- They would all be very anxious until they knew their fate with regard to a successor. Father Cammerfo-rd seconded. The Chairman, in replying on behalf of the nurse, caused much merriment. On the proposition of Mr D. Gamble, sec- onded by Mrs Lumloy, a vote of thanks was acoordcd the Chairman for the genial and happy manner in which he had carried out his duties.
West Riding Judgment.
West Riding Judgment. CARNARVONSHIRE CHURCH SCHOOL TBACHERS' ACTION. The dispute between the Carnarvonshire Education Authority and the Church schools has reaohed an Interesting stage. As the result of the West Riding judg- ment the authority has served the Church school teachers with notices terminating their engagements to enable them to make a deduction of one-tenth in their salaries to cover the proportion of time devoted to imparting denominational instruction." Acting on the advic9 of the Bangor DIooasan Schools' Association, who have ob- tained eminent legal opinion, the Church school teachers have written to the county authority declining to recognise t.he. notices served upon them terminating their engage- ments, and adding that the look to the county authority for their salaries.

PROTEST BY CARNARVON CATHOLICS. The managers of St. Helen's Roman Catho- lic School, Carnarvon, who met to consider a communication from th.3 secretarv of the county education authority intimating the intention of the authority to reduce thê salaries of teachers from February next, and instructing the managers to terminate exist- ing agreements with their teachers, passed unanimously the following resolution :— "That this meeting of managers respectfully protests against the proposal of the educa- tion authority to make a deduction from the salaries of the teachers, and as the Presi- dent of the Board of Education has recently lodged an appeal against the West Riding judgment, upon which such proposal is based, it considers that under the circum- stances—the matter being subjudice—it would be unreasonable' to disturb the status quo until the House of Lords has delivered its decision."

THE METRIC SYSTEM.
THE METRIC SYSTEM. Statement by Mr Lloyd Georgrs. The adoption of the metric or decimal systeim of weights and measures being a matter of special interest to the Board of Trade, Mr Lloyd George was invited, to make a statement on the subject, in view of the action taken by Messrs Kynoohs, Bir- mingham. This Mr Lloyd George consented t6 do. He said "Our Consults constantly oomplain that British firms in seeking foreign trade quote prions in British measurement When there are so many rivals, purchasers on the Con- tinent will not take the trouble to reduce these figures to decimals, and the result is that we undoubtedly lose business. That is the opinion of some of our best Consuls. "I certainly think that we are losing somewhat by retaining the present system in our foreign trade. Since I went to the Board of Trade I have gone into the mat- ter, and have be-an surprised to find there is a good deal of opposition to the adoption of tho metric system. I am perfectly cer- tain it would not be desirable to make the change unless there is a very general de- mand for it on the part of the whole trading community of this country.

Sa-irle. and tho headmaster (Mr J. C. Beatbie). The Chairman ex passed the pleasure it gave him to take part ill that gathering, a-Tid wcitt on to say that he was going to odd another y to those which already etooa fo.- Siino of RhjJ's chief asse^3. He thought that letter mignt also viry well stand fo" the fxhcola of the town (applause) They had in Rhyl a numbrr of efficient and prosperous schools. The town wan particularly adapted as a s^'noiyftic centre, wrxl offered mumy n,ch-a,nta.go3, natural tund otherwise, as such (applause). With regard to the work of Epwort'.i College during the pa*t 3rea,r he gathered that t-he students had none exceedingly well, r.otably in connection with tho Cambridge local examinations, no lees thnn 26 out of 30 who entered having satisfied the examiners and passed In other respccfc? (ap- plause). fie considered ;hat un excellent average, and it was very evident t-hat the. students did their Bha.ro towards bringing about the suocesa of the collcge. 11 s hoped the students would never bo lacking in esprit de corps, which !K> thought might be translated a-s meaning pride of 6ohool, a term that should bo quite as appb'cablo lo Epworth College as to the great schools of Eton and Harrow (a.p- plau £ e), The Headmaster, in the oourse of his report, said ha thought it could be ohiirned that tho dohool ha<d done exceedingly well during the past year. Twonty-six boys out of 30 passed the Cambridge looal examinations, and four out of five passed h", London University Matricu- lation Examination. Proceeding, he 6rid it had not been their aim to produce prodigies, but to awaken the mind of the average boy. It was not the most talented boy who did !)(st, but the most energetic; nnd it was their aim to elevate streinuousracse O"nd diligcnco to that place of honour which had long bocn occupied by mere cleyerrees. In conclusion, he said that tho re- ligious oontroversy Abich had torn the heart out of elementary education had never harassed their minds or hindered their work. The staif represented several denominations, but there hadnover been a complaint among the pa rente against the religious tuition. He hhould be sorry that a.ny boy should leave that school with lees rospcot for the church of his [athers, a<nd he should aleo bo sorry if tnyono left without mere respect for the opinions of others (applause).

Dodds, who. i.n a practicil mid entoitaining address to the boys, urged upon them the uti- lity of keeping up their classical and other studies after leaving school. He said it was very pkasiimg to learn from the headmaster's report that in that school religious instruction was given without any friction at all, notwith- standing that the teachers and scholars repre- se-ntc-d different creeds (applau-se). The pur- suit of religious knowledge opened up a won- derfully interesting field, and he trusted that Ðyery boy would make the most of his Bible (applause).

The Affairs of a Llanrvvst 1 Solicitor. FURTHER HEARING AT FESTINIOG BANKRUPTCY COURT. EXAMINATION CLOSED. (From Our Reporter). Before AIT Registrar Thomas JOOKS a-nd the 0.ffieial Receiver (Mr LI. Hugh Jones) on Tuesday, the adjourned application of Mr Wm. Pierce Roberts, solicitor, of Llanrwst, for his discharge from bankruptcy, came on for hear- ing. The Official Receiver: Mr Roberts, you ha yo now filed these amended accounts, and they contain particular-" of oaeh paid cut of court? -Y,ecl. And in addition you have shown items omit- ted from tlie accounts- from July let, 1302, to September 2nd, 1903?—Yee. As regards the accounts of payments, have you done anything Va complete them at all, or have you maile them more full?—No. I d,-) n't think J there is anything wanted. The Official Receiver then handed the ac- counts to the Registrar, remarking that the bankrupt appeared to have jompletcd them, but be was afraid they would require an iin- meci&o amount of labour a6 far a-s the books wore ooneBrned. The Official Receiver: There is only one other point I want to ask you about,. There was a fetatemont made at the last court that these accounts marked E include monies to the amount of E21.000, which wore received by ycair clerk Williams?—Yes. A,nd Mr Will iams feels himself aggrieved by that statement. Well new, as a tracer of fact, those items principally and largely were re- ceived by you or Mir Dd. Josn.cs?—No, I don't think I received any of these large amounts, and that £ 21.000 will represent purchase monies. and that £ 21.000 will represent purchase monies. Yea. but a« a matter of fact, receipts were not given?—It was never a custom n our office or any other oflico to give receipts for purchase monies. Please don't assume that with regard to any other officel-I am onJy stating my knowledge. I should hope as regards the majority of other offioea it was otherwise?—Well, I should like it to be made clear that there is noblaine to be attached to Williams. At 0h3 same time you have rendered the aocounts with three colum.ru>, ome to represent the amounts received by Mr Dd. Jones, the other to represent, what you received, and lat- terly one representing the monies received by the clerk?—Yes. And the whole of these iterfs are entered in thø clerk's column?—Yes, I Lh-nlc it ifi so. If you remember when I sent the first account in, the received was very incomplete, as a matter of lacll it showed nothing at all about the £ 21,000, but when I inquired of Williams afterwards wlvero. they came in, he made the account up for me. From tho books?—Yes. Now this is what Mr Williams bays in a let tor. He refecrs to sums handed over either to you or your partner as purchase monies or as monies to bo invested on mortgage, and he eays that after the matter would be completed you and your partne,r would give him particu- lars of the cash received, and tako no formal receipt, but would jot, it down in a cash book, a-nd then, whon he had time, en tor it in the cash journal. Do you accept that, as what was done ?—If he aays so, I accept the statement as correct. Take tho item of B146 13s [Xl received from Messrs Rich. James amd Humphreys and other firms of Bolicitors belonging to Pierce, of Dol- yddelen. You don't represeint that Williams completed that transaction himself ?—Oh no. It was dioine either tv you or Mr Dd. Jenes ? -Yes. And therefore he has entered in the cash book particulars and the transactions which he d.(-cr ,,bca?-Yes. Is that one of your matters ?—No, it was Mr Dd. Jonos'. Thero is an item of JM95 uurchase money by the Trcfriw School Board. That was a transaoticnn which you carried out yourself?— I would not be there at all. You appear to havo given a receipt in your own hand-writing for the oosts paid ?—Yes, for the chargca. Does that not indicate that you carried out the transaction ?—No. You attended to the Trefriw business because you lived thoro ?-Well, no. I did not attend to any coinveyanciinig at all. I must have re- ceived the charges for it though. Do you think it likely that you received the charges, and that the purchaso mney was paid the same day, and that you did not re- oeiTe the purchase monoy also ?—It is pos- sible. In that co,-o that ie not a.n amount which ought to be put as receivc-d by the clerks?— I take it there were two separate clVques drawn. The supplemental account was pre- pared by Williams, and he has put- the a.mount lin h:a own column. I don't remember haw the matter was oa.rried through. Is this Williams' hand-writing ?—No but he gave me particulars. Rut he didn't tell you to put it in this co'iumn of tho clerk's or indicate that it should go there? I take it he must have done at the tume, bficauao it would ultimately go tlie re, but tin all probability It wa« paid to the bank! Yes. but who received it from the payeT? — That I cannot tell you. At amy rate, Williams would not be the man to complete a puroha.so of that sort ?—No. There are no counterfoil receipts given for the sums, and the onJy poitnt is that Williams is clearly not the person responsiblo in nny Mi ape or form for the failure to give counter- foil receijjts ?—I did not suggest it for a mo- mont. As a matter of fact, the system between you and your partner was tha,t receipts were given for all nio-Lios?-It should have been done. And what I put to you in Williams' interest is that he is not responsible for tho counter- foil receipts not having been given in these I instances?—Oh, no. I have never suggested it. Them I don't know what is the meaning of the column in which it is stated that tho monies were received by the ole-rk. The dis- tinction is drawn up by you, not me nox at my request. On the 19th Julv there is a sum cf £100 entered, for which no counterfoil receipt was yiven 9—Yes. Here is a case of loan from Col. tligson of £2500. Were you attending to that matter?— No. Who received that money?—Mr David Jonos. That was a sum not received by the clerk, although it was put down in the clerk's column ?—It would be this way. Mr Dd. Jones received that cheque from Co!. 11 igsoir, and he would hand it over to Williams to pay to the bank, and that is why it is accounted as having been received by the clerk. The Official Receiver addreseing the Regis- trar, 6aid he did not think there yas anything more. Thore wore the accounts he had, no doubt, made up as complete as the bankrupt would make them. He did not think they threw very much elucidation t pon eome of the points which required further information. Bc. however, did not propose to eppose the application of the bankrupt that the examina. tion be clooed. The Resrif^trar: Do vou wish to havo it further adjourned or closed? Bankrupt I ivish it to be ?losed. The ox am'nation was thesn closed.
