WREXHAM DISTRICT HIGHWAY BOARD. A meeting of this body was held at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Wrexham, on Tuesday last. There were present Captain GriiRth-Boscawen (chairman), Mr. S. T. Baugh (vice-chairman), Messrs. T. LI. Fitz-Hugh, E. Evans, J. H. Ffoulkes, A. Peel, Lester (Minera), Thomas (Burton), Richard Jones (Stansty), John Jones (Bersham), Matthews (Esclusdiam Below), Milligan (Borras Hovah), John Thomas (Holt). THE TOLL HOUSE AT ADWR CLWYD. The CLERK (Mr. John Bury) said he had been in communication with Messrs Louis and Edwards respecting the above toll house, and one of the letters he had received was to the effect that orders had been given for the removal of the house, and it would be taken down by the end of the week. Mr. FITZ-HUGH said that whatever title the Board had to the toll house site there was also a claim on his part. If the toll house wore taken down to-morrow they had no right to put a foot upon the ground where it stands. He had purchased the ground many years ago, and they would act up to what the Crown had granted them. The matter had caused him much annoyance. He had received letters from a third party, but if the Board had sent to him direct or his agent he would have met the board in any way. 1111 M Mr. To,, Es (Bersham): You say this land is yours ? t Mr. FITZ-HUGH I claim what the Crown has given me. Mr. JONES Well, we claim it on behalf of the Board. Ir. FITZ-HUGH: Very well, you must prove your ti.le. The CLERK, at the request of the Chairman, expounded the Highway Act, and showed that its provisions had been complied with by the Board, and that therefore they had a right to the ground in dispute. He pointed out that Mr. Fitz-Hugh's claim was a pre- emture one, but the claim' had no effect because the Board had at the proper time exercised their power. The CHAIRMAN was of opinion that the terms of a general act, under which the Board had proceeded, would over-ride any private one, and read from the 102nd chapter of the 29 and 30th sections of the High- way Act in support of his views.' Mr. FITZ-HUGH said the portion of land in question belonged to him as much as the Chairman's own house belonged to the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN referred Mr Fitz-Hugh to the act. Mr. BAUGH thought that to. avoid anything which might seem harsh they had better let the surveyor and clerk meet Mr Fitz-Hugh and arrange the matter with him. Mr. FITZ-HUGH said he was willing to meet the Board fairly if they would meet him so, but he would not submit to any tyranny. Mr. BAUGH thought Mr. Fitz-Hugh took the matter in a wrong light. Mr. FITZ-HUGH said he received a letter one Sunday as he came out of church to the effect that if the toll house was not taken down within 24 hours it would be done for him. Mr. BAUGH thought that if Mr. Louis, who sent the letter, thought proper to deal harshly the Board were not responsible for it. Ultimately it was arranged that the Surveyor, Clerk, Mr. Baugh, and Mr. Lester meet Mr. Fitz-Hugh and arrange the matter. This concluded the business.
