Air W illiams (Local Government Board inspector) also attended, and went through the relief books with the committee THE HOUSE." It was reported that there were 165 initiates in the workhouse. as compared with 146 at the cor- responding period last year. There was an in- crease in tramps of 20 in the fortnight. It was stated that gifts had been received from Miss Prvce, The Deanery, St. Asaph, and Mrs Greaves, Bryn Polyn, St. Asanh, for the inmates, and votes of thanks were accordingly nassed. BETTER ATTENDANCE WANTED. I Air Llew. B. Evans P i-itccl out that the at- tendant nt the meeting of the Finance Committee was not as large as it should be. and he honed I that members would make an effort to be present. Out of 20 members on the committee only six were present that dav. The ice-Chairman said thry could not be in two (.laces at the same time. They had the Re- lief Committee to a fiend to. Air Bat ho agreed, and said that the" should try and arrange the meetings differently. It was a question whether by attending th* Relief Committee they were not better serving the. pub. lie and the poor than by attending the Finance Committee held at the same time OLD-AGE PENSIONS. Mr Ralno rd£,IT0.1 1,) the question of accom- modation in the workhouse, and said that thev did not expect that in the future thev would have so many ap-ed people there, as the old-acre pen- sions would provide for many over 70 years of age. who would otherwise have gone to the v/orkhouse. SAVING THE Pi XTFP MONEY. Tk' Clerk reported that lie had sucre-ocJed in getting a magistrates' order against the Afans- field Union In the ease of a lunatic who had boon found wanderincr at Rhyl. By this the St. Asaph ratepayers would be relieved of the man's charge- ability. He had had a creat deal of trouble in the case. but had succeeded in tracing the man's settlement. The member complimented Mr Gri.nslev on the success which had attended his efforts, and said that the ratepayers should be grateful to the cierk for the thorough manner in which he always went into these cases. PRAISE FROA1 THE LOCAL GOYERN- MEN BOARD INSPECTOR. Afr W dhams. Local Government Board insnec- tor, said he thought that there was great satis- faction in being able to congratulate the Board on the improved state of pauperism in the Union. For the past few years there had been a steady improvement, and he hoped that it was due to the thorough and careful way in which the Board made inquiries into :• cas"s which came before them. There had been fluctuations as regards the percentage of pauperism to population, and in ]!1C:S they stood at 3.3, then they went up to 3.3. after that they were 4.2, but now they had reduced it to 3.5. The number of inmates had increased somewhat, but that was no doubt due to the number of children they had in the house. The nurnb-T of out-door poor had decreased, and I the.t. he thought, was the best evidence d n,-?- ministrpti-m The number in 1905 was 1039. in 1906 it was 1156. and last March it was 915. The cost of the inmates had srone up from £1317 to E I- 54P, The out-rclief in 1905* was £ 6264. and that had now been reduced to J65970. The cost per bend of population had decreased from 5s 6d in 1903 to .1., lOd last year. Since last March he found that the out-relief was £ 90 less than for the corresponding period last year, but for the past three or four weeks there had been a tendency to creep up agn.In. He hoped that the Board would very carefully consider all the ap- plications which came before them, and that they would arrange to go through the ]ist of perma- nent cases with a full committee, in order that the whole of the circumstances could h" rut be- fore the members, arid it might nossiblv be found that Ron'" of the r"sr- could be struck off alto- gether. He congratulated the Board on the re- gulations whi.h they had adopted, and which were published in one of the best poor law books it had been his pleasure to read. The St. Asaph Board were to be congratulated on having such a'very fine Bine Book, which was full of in- formation. In their regulations they st printed that the committees in giving relief had to con- sider not only the income of those legally liable io contribute- to the relief of pauper'relatives, but. should in all cases take into consideration the total income of the family. There was a tendency to laxity as regards th amount of relief, and it was urged by some that the 5s per week old-age pen- sions should be the basis of relief. He would point out that the old-age pensions were not to be given us poor relief, as the man who had reached the age nf 70 without, coming on the) rates had contributed something to the State, and was as much entitled to his pension as was a civil servant (hear. hear}. The ooor relief was given to persons who were destitute, so that by no stretch of imagination could it be argued that old-age f>ens'ons were another form of poor relief. As regards the wnrkhoww. they knew that the ad- ministration in St. Asaph was excellent, but. at the same time it, was advisable that the Visit- ing Committee should keep up its visits of in- spection. not forgetting the surprise visits by the members, which wpre always of service when carried out in the right spirit. The aged and infirm were well looked after, but he noticed that some of the members thought that the workhouse might be getting a little too full, and that it would be better to give more out-relief. That would be a great mistake, as it was better to provide increased accommodation than to add to the out-relief. The question of doing some- thing for the children was bound to crop UP, and he hoped to be able to discuss with the Guard- ians the question of sending the children away from the workhouse. Although the children might be very comfortable and happy there. still they did in a workhouse meet persons with whom it was desirable they should not, come in contact. He hoped that the members of the Relief Committees would make a point of being present at the meetings as often a.s possible, as it was there the real work of guardians was done. Mr Perks said he was obliged for the remarks of the inspector. As regards the increased cost of the in-door poor, they could account for it from the fact that there was a more liberal diet, and that they were now giving more milk to the aged. In one instance there had been an increase of £ 25 for milk. The Vice-Chairman asked for information as to how they should deal with the unemployed. The Inspector said it was a difficult matter to know how to discriminate between the "would works" and the "won't works." In all cases the Board should use their discretion, but he strong- ly advised them in everv case to let able bodied men toknow that when they were relieved through lack of employment that the relief was only on loan, and even though there was no chance of getting the money repaid .they should not fail to make an application for it. Then again, if men did come to the workhouse they should be made to do a good day's work. It was a mistake to let men feel that they had less work to do in the workhouse than ostside. They should not make the workhouse too comfortable, or they would find that the men would not want to leave. Mr John Roberts said he knew of cases where the men would rather go to the workhouse than take a job at a fair rate of wages. LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN. The relieving officers then went through their ports as to the children who were in service, and it was pointed out th::t in some cases the em- ployera were not increasing the wages year by year, as they had agreed to do, and the reliev- ing officers were directed to see to this. One Relieving Officer, in reporting on a case of a girl who had gone to domestic service, said that the hardest thing the Board could do to- wards her would be to ask her to return to the workhouse. She was perfectly happy, and had a very comfortable home, with the kindest of mis- tresses. In fact, the mistress was more like a mother to the girl than an employer (hear, hear).

THE EH OS PIEE DISPUTE. LIVERPOOL STEAMSHIP CO.'s ACTION. CASE IN THE APPEAL COURT. In the Court of Appeal, on Tuesday, there came on for hearing the appeal of the plaintiff an I the cro.s-notice of appeal by the defendants in case of the Liverpool and North Wales Steamship Co., Ltd., v. the Mersey Trading Co., Ltd., on appeal from Mr Justice Neville. In 1892 the Colwyn Bay Pier Co., Ltd., obtained from the Board of Trade a t.ovlsiiniu order authorising the construction of a r er re.tr Llandri'lo-yn-Rhos, near Colwvn Bay. The eon- puny constructed a pier, except, the -r-ndiag itf-ge, fur steamers at Llandriilo-vn-Rhos, '-vh Cx< I was afterwards completed, and was ttnown IV th, Rho3 Pier. Colwyn Bay. This pier was cc n- structed partly on the foreshore, on land above the foreshore, and partly on land below the fore- shore The land above the foreshore had been acquired by the company from private owners. The pier company mortgaged this land to their barkers in 1892, and these mortgagees sold and ccnvcyed the land to Air Horton. in 1896. The pier company went into liquidation, and in 1R97 the liquidator, with the consent of the Board of Trade, sold tho company's undertaking and pier to three persons, who in November. 1899, sold the pier and undertaking for JS1700 to Mr Horton. No conveyance was executed, but the vendors executed a declaration of trust of the pier and undertaking in favour of Mr Horton and let him info possession of the premises. Mr Horton then completed the pier by erecting a landing stage at the seaward end thereof, and this work was completed early in 1900. About this time Air Horton discovered th-nt no part of the pier had been constructed according to the line delineated on the plan deposited with the pro- visional order, that the seaward end of the pier for upwards of 400 feet was entirely outside the limits of deviation defined by the order, that the Board of Trade had not sanctioned the deviation as required by the order, that the time allowed frr the comtruction of the pier hnd expired, and that. by reason of these facts the Board of Trade had not given the certificate required, or in fact any certificate in rehition to the pier. Mr H o-r- ton then approached the Commissioners of Woods and Fcrest's, and in February, 1901, obtained from tly.m for valuable consideration a grant of the land, foreshore, and bed of the sea on which the pier was constructed. From 1901 to 1906 plaintiffs during the summer season ran their .steamer" to and from Rhos Pier, and pa; l Mr Horton the passenger rates which he charged them. In 1906 the defendant company was in- corporated, and l-n stpflners to and from the pier in competition with plaintiffs. During J>>ne. 1907. plaintiff," ran their steamers to Rhos Pier, [¡p,-1 pn;d the passenger rites which were ¿"]]1;dN Cn 27th June Mr Horton leased the pier to the defend-mt- company as from 29th June at a certain rental, and let them into po.p5o=on. On :1(; h Jure t h" defendant company increased the ratf livable by pas-engers embarking and disem- buri.ing a: the pier from the plaintiff's steamers, and on 19 h hlly thfy informed plaintiffs that they would not all it.- plaintiffs' steamers to come aleng-sido the la mi ie;stage except on paymnit of a fixed rent of S4,50 f r the season. Plaintiffs for some days made oer'nin jtayments to defendants under protest, but then refused to make any further payments, and brought an action to restrain the Pier Company from excluding their steamers from the pier and to re- cover t 1;" sums paid under protest. Mr Justice Neville, b^'fere whom the ease was heard, held that the pier being an unauthorispd construction no statutory riehts rD"e upon its construetion in favour of the Pier Company or of the public, the pter being; an obstruc- tion to the right of navigati- n by the public and a nuisan and that, the steamship company had no rights in rogard to the pipr which they could enforce in the action, and. further, that, the payment made for the me of the pier could not be recovered back. It wa h-M also upon the construction of the Provisional Order that mooring or ancheiing di not include making f s! steamers to the pier for the purp^s^ of landing or embarking passengers. He, therefore. ::s- missed f h arbn against be h defendants with cos's. The (1('fpAant Mr Horton en hi" counter-claim would recover X15 without corts, and the cmiiter-claim of (he M-r-^y Trading Co. would be dismissed without COF.E1. It v ac from this decision that the plaintiffs ap- pealed and upon whr> h the cross notice of appeal by the defendants was founded. Mr Petersen, K.C. (with whom r-.v Mr Maugham], a-i "eared for the appellants, who W0, the plaintiffs; Mr Jenkins, K.C., and Mr Hewitt for a seccnd defendant, and also a respondent-, WiVia-n Morten a.nd Mr Butcher. K C.. with the same j'.in; appeared for ti), Mersey Trading Co. Mr Pr-f, in opening the appellants' case, stated the fax's B given and said his point was that it was rot open for the defendants to say that this was an unauthorised or illegal pier. The hearing had not concluded when the court rose. "WInr '11=
