NOTES BY THE WAY. Itis Worship the Mayor of Welshpool and Miss lIowel1 (Mayoress) were among the invited guests Mansion House Ball, given by the Lord ayor of London, last (Friday) evening. # A > serious fire is reported to have broken out on ectaesday at Shrewsbury Asylum, which contains Present about 800 patients. Although the fire ^gade succeeded in confining the flames to the laUndry, considerable damage is said to have been done.

The members are, in a way, public t) Vants, and, therefore, their doings should be .t0 t'ie Public Press, and, if need be, public CISnl. It is only the other day that the Parents te e scholars attendhig these schools elected three Presentatives on the local body, and what they acanfc tn°st is to know how their representatives be r^afc tkey say. and what they do.

The University authorities require trict' candidates or £ 25 in'fees from any dis- as^ hef°re consenting to hold an examination, and • the e°Dly candidates entered were nine boys frotn Grammar School, the scheme has to be glven up. The Cymro states that Mr Daniel Owen, the Welsh novelist, continues in a very weak condition and suffers much from depression of spirits. It states that seme of Mr Owen's numerous friends are desirous to open a fund and to make a presen- tation to him as an expression of national sym- pathy with him in his long and trying illness. t*:}.; The Court of Governors of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, will meet on Wednesday next at the College, when a new president will be elected in the room of the late Lord Aberdare. The only nomination received is that of Lord Rendel, of Hatchlands, who has been nominated by 126 members of the Court. There being no other nominations, Lord Rendel will be elected without opposition. His appointment as president will create a vacancy in the list of vice-presidents, which will probably be filled by the appointment cf Sir Lewis Morris. The twenty retiring members of the Court, with one exception, offer themselves for re-election, but seven additional nominations have been received. These include the names of Rev E. O. Davies (Garston), Professor Young Evans (Trevecca), Mr Osmond Williams (Penrhyn- deudraeth), and Professor Hugh Williams (Bala). Seven additional nominations have been sent in for the thirteen seats vacant by retirement on the Council, including those of Dr Isambard Owen, Mr Thomas Jones (chairman of the Merioneth County Council), and Mr J. Gibson (Aberystwyth). We are glad to hear that although there was not a very large attendance of buyers at the sale of Mr. Macfie's hackneys at Wrexham, some of the lots bringing less than perhaps they might have done,, still Mr. Macfie thinks fair prices were realised, the competition being quite keen for some lots; and there is every prospect of a large and satisfactory business being done at Wrexham next year, when Mr. Lloyd intends to begin a special sale of pedigree horses, at which he hopes to have the support of all the breeders of the surrounding districts. A somewhat painful case came before the Aberystwyth Guardians on Monday. From the statements made at the meeting by some of the guardians and the officers it seems that a man who recently resided at Penllwyn went to the Infirmary, and was admittted as an indoor patient. After remaining there for a fortnight, he was told that his case—one of consumption—was regarded as incurable, and under these circumstances he could no longer remain in the Infirmary. Notwith- standing, it was asserted, the entreaties of his sister-in-law to allow him to remain in the Infirmary a day longer than the time mentioned for his dismissal, in order that he should be con- veyed home in a closed carriage, he was obliged to leave. He entered the Workhouse on a Friday afternoon, and ere Monday morning dawned had breathed his last. We give a full report of the discussion, a perusal of which will better explain the feeling shown by the members than any sum- mary it were possible for us to squeeze into the margin of a paragraph. In the last number of Wales a pleasantly written sketch of Aberystwyth—attributed to the pen of the Editor—covering four pages, is published. In one of the concluding paragraphs he remarks;- About the public spirit of the inhabitants of Aberystwyth I am not in a position to speak. The University CoIl!!le of Wales is, of course, the work of the whole of Wales. The terrace now unbroken from one end of its curve to the other, shows that no efforts have been spared to make the sea face of Aberystwyth as lovely as nature and human labour can make it. More, undoubtedly, will be done. The traditional birthplace of Dafvdd ab Gwilym, the greatest of the poets of the Welsh golden age is in the vicinity, aud Aberystwyth will doubtless, ere long, be graced by a statue of the poet of human lore and of the beauty of nature." It is to the .last few sentences of the above extract that wé would draw the attention of the people of Aberystwyth. Just now there appears amongst Welshmen a general upheaving of national feeling in favour of the erection of monuments to the departed heroes of their country and every locality that thinks it has a claim—however slight that claim might seem to other eyes—is asserting its right to be considered as the worthiest recipient of the proposed gift. Whether Aberystwyth has any rivals or whether she has not, it is essential that she should at an early date take steps to secure for herself the honour of having erected in her streets a statue of the greatest of the poets of the Welsh golden age." In a letter addressed to the Aberystwyth Town Council, and which was read at their last meeting, Mr. Jones, Postmaster, called attention to the con- fusion that arose through there being two terraces in the town bearing the same name, and suggesting that South Marine Terrace should be changed to South Shore. The matter was referred to a com- mittee, who no doubt will give the suggestion of the Postmaster every consideration. Certain houses in Mill Street, Aberystwyth, have been condemned, and instructions have been issued by the authorities to serve notice upon the owner. To say the least these dwellings are not ornaments to the town and the sooner their place is taken by a better class of building the better it will be for the locality. Mr. Balfour has written the following letter to the Editor of the Rural World :—" Whittingehame, Prestonkirk, N.B.—Dear Sir,—I am obliged tofyou for your letter on the subject of Mr. Price's motion on Agricultural Distress. Had the persons you refer to been more familiar with Parliamentary procedure, they would have realised that if Mr. Price's motion had been carried its only effect would have been to turn out the present Govern- ment-who are pledged to do all that is possible to relieve agricultural distress—and to replace them by the party who, during three years of office, have, so far as I know, done nothing for agri- culture, and whose leader in the House of Commons declared that he regarded with satisfaction the present low prices of agricultural produce.—I re- main, yours faithfully, ARTHUR JAMES BALFOUR." The Drych, the organ of the Welsh in the United States, announces the death of the well-known Welsh bard" Dewi Glan Dulas" (Mr. D. W. Morris), which took place at West Pawlett, Ver- mont, in his forty-second year. Mr. Morris, who was a native of Beddgelert, resided for many years at Corris previous to his departure for America about fourteen years since. He won several bardic prizes at local, provincial, and national csteddfodau in Wales, and he also won three bardic chairs at American eisteddfodau. He was on a visit to this country last year, and was present at the Carnarvon National Eisteddfod. # Among the list of contributions by Welsh counties to the British ani Foreign Bible Society we find that Merionethshire contributed £590 4s lid; Montgomeryshire, .£342 6s 5d; Cardigan- shire, £431 6s Id; Carnarvonshire, £1,044 3s lOd and Radnorshire, £66 8s 5d. Mr. Ellis is due in London on the 26th inst. after a voyage to the Cape. *#* A London contemporary says Mr. W. Pritchard Morgan, M.P., left London on Thursday, via Naples, for Western Australia, Mr. Morgan, who was the pioneer of gold mining in Wales, is going to Coolgardie for the purpose of examining certain mining propertits in that region. He is taking with him a staff of men and a quantity of machinery. Though the agricultuml depression has been universal throughout the country, the value of laud in Wales lias not decreased in anything like the proportion il has in England. Since 1879 the value of land in agricultural counties in England has decreased from 20 per cent, in the Midlands to 39'1 per cent. in Essex. In Denbighshire the decrease has been less than 15 p rcent., in Cardi- ganshire less than 1 per cent., in Carnarvonshire only 0'1 per cent., while in Carmarthenshire there has been an increase of 1'8 per cent.

He traced them to Churchstoke, where he gave them into custody. In reply to the magistrate, Hughes said he came from Manchester, and Riscoe from London.

J- Evans (head- master), and Miss Steedman (head-mistress). A letter was read from the Clerk to the County Governing Body as to whether the managers would agree to a travelling teacher being appointed, and it was resolved that a reply be sent intimating that the governors were not yet quite ready for the subjects mentioned, but that the matter would be considered at a future stage.—Miss Naylor proposed, and Mr Jones seconded, that pupils taking any special subjects or going in for any higher examinations, e.g., Senior Cambridge, or Oxford Higher Locals, or London Matriculation, and therefore requiring more advanced or special books than those used in the ordinary school curri- culum should pay for their books. Exceptions to this rule in the case of deserving pupils shall be optional with the governors, upon the recommen- dation of the headmaster and headmistress."—This was carried, and it was further agreed that the resolution should come into operation at Christmas next.—It was resolved, on the motion of Mr R. Jones, seconded by Miss Naylor, and supported by Mr W. A. Rogers, that the original site selected by the governors be adhered to also, that the sum of £20 be the amount expended per scholar upon the new buildings.—The report of the committee appointed to consider the matter as to lodging houses for pupils was adopted, on the proposition of Mrs Humphreys-Owen, seconded by Mr Jones.— A motion to insert the school advertisement in the COUNTY TIMES was agreed to, also the following resolutions That Mr Morris, Mr Rogers, and the Clerk constitute a committee to arrange the ques- tion of the caretaker's terms, and that the present meeting constitute itself a local committee under the Science and Art Department.—The following is the examiner's report upon his recent examina- tion of the scholars attending the schools: "On the 22nd of July I visited the Welshpool County School, which is carried on in a large house well adapted for the purposes of a temporary school. The rooms are bright and airy, fitted with I admirable desks, and I was struck by the cheerful- ness of the pupils and the business-like appearance of the teachers. There is a very healthy tone in the school. The Master and Mistress are obeyed and respected by the children without being dreaded. Very caretul ^nanoements had been made for the examination. I exanlincd the Junior part of the school in Scripture, in History and Geography (viva voce), Arithmetic, Latin, English Grammar (viva voce), and in Botany and the senior in Algebra, History and Geography (viva voce), Euclid, Latin, English Grammar (viva), and Botany. In Botany a sweet pea was given to the whole school to describe and analyse, and of the 25 girls, 14 obtained a first class and seven a second class, and of the 32 boys, seven were placed in the first class and 17 in the second class. The papers show clearly that the Botany teaching is very good. The Geography and History I tested by a viva voce examination, and while the girls answered very well on the whole, I tnnst mention the names of Ethel Davies, Frances Evans, and Ada James, as having done particulary well in both subjects, whilst Dora Davies distinguished herself in Hjs- tory and Nellie Evans in Geography. The English Grammar of the girls was not so well done as the History and Geography- The boys also acquitted themselves very creditably jn the viva voce exami- nations in History and Geography. The best being Hutchius, G. A. Jatnes, J. L. Ireland, A Hart, J. S. E. Davies, J. A. Davies, Ernest Watkins, and E. C. Pryce. In English Grammar the Head Master questioned the boys in a very searching and critical fashion, and obtained very good results. In Scripture, the girls did Well, the best paper being that of Ada James, but in Arithmetic they did even better, and very good papers were sent in by Ada James, Florence Pugh, Florence Coward, Margaret Bruce, and Mildred Anderson. Only two girls took Latin, whose knowledge as yet cannot but be very elementary. The boys did very well in Arithmetic —notably John Evans, Albert Morris, and Gomer Roberts, who scored full marks. The papers in Scripture were uniformly good, the best James A. Davies with full marks, while John Davies, James A. Davies and Ernest Watkin scored very good marks in the Latin paper. There was one senior student in this school, A. Hutchins, who took advanced papers and scored 79 per cent in Euclid, 85 per cent in Algebra, and 81 per cent in Latin. The school is in a very good working order, and the teaching very efficient." COUNTY COURT. WEDNkSpAY. Before His Honour Judge D. Lewis. CLAIM FOR WAGES. J. H. Breese, Belan School, sued William Hughes, Roringtun, Chirbury, for 2s, balance of wages. It appears that Breese WIts employed by Hughes from November 1st, 1893, to May 13th, 1895. xHe received different sums from the defendant, amounting to £25 13s d, and claimed the balance, £102s. Mr. C. P. e^rsley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. ilaurice Jones for the defendant. In answer to Mr. \ears]ey( plaintiff stated that on leaving the service of the defendant he applied for his money. The latter promised to look over his book. Subsequently 'e saw defendant's wife, who requested him to meet her at the White Lion, Welshpool, on the follovirjDg Monday. He went there but she never attended. After writing a letter, to which he recelvtrl no reply, he saw Mr. Hughes at Marton. Defdant said that he only owed plaintiff £5,.as the latter had got drunk and neglected his business, t'la.intiff replied that he would have all or nothmg.- Cross-examined by Mr. E. Maurice Jones He defendant on May 13th, but never saw the defend^^g account book. He received various sums of 11loney at different times. D. H. Breeze, brother of plaintiff, deposed to a letter having been sent to defendant by plaintiff. Mr. E. Maurice Jones said that defendant had 7s 6d; that plaintiff had not worked for nine days for which 13s 6cI was deducted and that defendant had paid £1 15s 6d jnto Court, bringing this up to £35 15s 6d. Plaintiff admitted havihg»five holiday. Defendant was then cled, and in answer to Mr. Maurice Jones, said that plaintiff was in his service from November 1st, 1893, to May 13; 1895. On May 13, plaintiff came tq him for his money. He (defendant) said that thought he owed him about £5, and handed hi a cheque for JE4 10s. As there was consIderle disagreement between the books of thE, plaintjjj and defendant it was decided that the books atlOuJd be gone through by Mr. Roper. i. DAVIES '{ DAVIES. E. T.

This showed a balance of 2., 2d. due to defendant. Mr. E. M. Jones said that the only items which he was instructed to defend were one of £1 and, another of 10s. Mr. C. S. Pryce stated that defendant had sup- plied plaintiff with certains things for which they had given him credit in the itatement of particulars filed on entering the suwm<j,lg onlj question was whether the defendantdelivered those specific things for which they ha<* given him credit. Plaintiff then entered tl^ box, and in answer to Mr Maurice Jones said thathe had an account of articles which he had purased from defendant. He credited defendant with various things which he purchased from hiin- Mr Maurice Jones said tbtt to show that there was laxity m the way jnwich plaintiff carried on his business it was preposterous that he should leave a customer without 9 bill from 1889 to 1895.

In his charge to the Grand Jury, the Deputy- Chairman said that there was a rather unusual number of cases, and some of them rather serious. Having detailed the facts of the different cases contained in the calendar, the jury retired to con- sider them, and returned true bills against all the prisoners charged in the calendar, with the excep- tion of James Bebb who was charged with feloniously stealing one packet of cord the property of Alfred Pilot, at Newtown, on July the 11th last. INDECENT ASSAULT. Bertie Evans, 19, a labourer, was brought up in custody charged with unlawfully and indecently assaulting Mary Harding at the parish of Berriew on the 9th inst.—Prisoner pleaded guilty, and said he was very sorry for having committed the offence. He was very drunk at the time, and he thought the prosecutrix was a young woman. In sentencing the prisoner, the Deputy-Chairman said he had pleaded guilty to a serious charge, but moreover the evidence against him was quite clear, from which it appeared that the prosecutrix told him she was a married, woman. The Court took into consideration the fact that he was very young when they sentenced him to six months' imprisou- ment with hard labour. ALLEGED THEFT OE DeCKS. Edward Pugh, late of Castle Caereinion, surren- dered to his bail on a charge of feloniously stealing two ducks, value 5s, the property of Thomas Francis, The Gaer, on the 22nd July last.—Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Theobald (instructed by Mr. E. Jones, solicitor, Welshpool) prosecuted, and Mr. S. Moss (instructed by Mr. Martin Woosnam, solicitor, Newtown) defended. In opening the case, Mr. Theobald said that the evidence against the prisoner was very short and he ventured to say very conclusive. On the 21st July Thomas Francis had on his farm fourteen white ducks. On the following day three of the ducks were missing, and on the 25th July he gave information to the police. On tfie 22nd a woman brought a duck for sale to Mrs Turner, of Welsh- pool, and on the same day brought another for sale to Mrs. Tims. In addition to these people he would call before them Mr Thomas Jones, who would prove that prisoner came to his place and asked him to tell the police that the prisoner had some ducks from him on the Monday previous. Mr Jones said he could not do that for anybody. In reply to a question as to where he got his ducks from, prisoner said Francis, the Gaer." Counsel said he would also call P.C. Lewis, who, in company-- Mr. Moss, interrupting, said he thought this would be the proper time to lav his objection to the constables giving evidence. He submitted that any statement made by the prisoner under the cir- cumstances mentioned in the'depositions taken at the magisterial hearing could not be admitted as evidence. He would contend that the statement made by the officer was tantamount to a threat or inducement to the prisoner to make such a state- ment as was alleged to have been made. The prisoner, prior to making the statement referred to, was never cautioned,, or hardly charged the offence. ID support of his contention he cited the cases of Regina v. Shepherd (Roscoe) and Regina v. Thornton (Archibald). In the first case a statement was made similar to the one alleged to have been made by the prisoner at the bar. It their worships read the depositions of the a e and the police sergeant they would find a t e prisoner was told by one of the officers ou are not telling the truth because so-and-so. oun did not wish to finish the sentence in e eari g of the jury as that would proba y e e object he had in view.

He then told prisoner that he had no need to trouble about it, because if his wife got them she and not he would have to bear the conse- quences. Mr Moss submitted, before the police officers' evidence was heard, that there was no case to go to the jury; there was nothing in the evidence from beginning to end incriminating the prisoner of taking the ducks. He would point out that the indictment charged prisoner with that he did feloniously take, steal, and carry away." As to the theft there was no evidence at all. The Deputy-Chairman thought there was some evidence, and it was consequently agreed to hear the constable's evidence. P.C. Lewis Lewis, Guilsfield, said on 26th Julv he went with P.S. Humphreys to see prisoner and his wife. They asked the prisoner where he got the ducks from that his wife sold at; Welshpool on the previous Monday. Prisoner replied, I don't know nothing at all about them." Prisoner's wife was close by, and said Why don't you tell the truth, Edward. Didn't you buy them off Mr Jones, Pentregoch ? He then said I did." Sergt. Humphreys asked him about the feathers and he said he knew not hing about them. The officers then went into the house, and when they came out pris- oner had gone. Tlip," could not flm] him, and they afterwards went to Pentregoch, which was three or four miles away, to see whether the ducks were purchased from Mr Jones or not. They returned to prisoner's house and subsequently found some feathers in a manure heap. The feathers were here produced, and were coloured brown. l'ii-li ran away; they pursued him, cautioned him and charged him with the theft, to which prisoner said "I did, between four and five o'clock on Monday morning. My wife asked me to go for one as she wanted one." He also said he was very sorrv. Cross examined At the last hearing of the magis- tiates lie said that he had heard the evidence of Sergt Humphreys and corroborated all he had said. Sergt Humphreys did say that You are not telling the truth, because your wife sold them on Monday." Sergt Humphreys at the magisterial hearing said that the words "brown ducks" were mentioned. He did not know why he had forgotten to say it thai; day. The feathers produced were all the. picked. Mr Moss, in defence, said that of all the cases in which he had been engaged he thought this was the most remarkable and the most trumpery. The prisoner was charged with stealing two white ducks. He did not dispute the evidence of the prosecutor, that he missed three white ducks, but because the prisoner's wife went to Welshpool on a market day and offered some ducks for sale it was concluded that he stole the missing birds. He thought there was nothing extrnordinary in that to start with. He did not think would convict the prisoner on such trumped-up evidence as they had heard that day. An unknown woman, never seen by the witnesses before or since, had been spoken of, and it was strange that this woman was never identified. As a matter of .fact, the prisoner had killed two brown ducks on the day in question, and because of this he was charged with the offence of stealing two ducks, whereas three were missed. The prosecution brought before them, as implying guilt on the part of the prisoner, certain feathers, and he could not imagine any man, unless colour blind, bringingbrown feathers and saying thev came from a pair of white ducks. The whole thing was most preposterous, and were it not for the faci that the prisoner, who was an uneducated man, had been driven to make certain statements on ac- count of the eagerness of the constables to get a conviction against the prisoner, the jury would never have been troubled with the case that day. Let them analyse the evidence Three ducks were missing, only two mentioned on the charge sheet; white feathers were lost, brown feathers found (laughter) an unknown woman spoken of, but never identified; ducks, said to be full grown, lost; ducks, small but plump, bought. He submitted that the police officers had jumped at a rash and unjustifiable conclusion, whsn they alleged that the prisoner stole the ducks. The Chairman summed up, and the jury retired to consider their verdict, and on their return, after the adjournment for lunch, they found a verdict of Not Guilty," prisoner consequently being dis- charged. ASSAULT OX A FARMER. James Oswald, 22, labourer, was brought up in custody charged with unlawfully and maliciously wounding Wm. Edwards, farmer, of Guilsfield, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm on 17th inst. —Prisoner pleaded not guilty."—Mr. Cecil Wil- braham (instructed by lr. E. Maurice Jones) prosecuted. William Edwards said he was a farmer living at Guilsfield. On the morning of the day in question, about 7 o'clock, lie was in his cowhouse, when prisoner came to him and said he was going away that morning. He (prosecutor) told him that he engaged him by the week, and therefore would not pay him until Saturday. Prisoner then said he would fetch it out of him. He enquired what way, whereupon prisoner said this is the way," and' immediately attacked him. Prisoner also attacked him with a knife, and be had to have his wounds attended to by a doctor. Arthur Edwards, son of the prosecutor, was called, and bore out the evidence of bis father he having witnessed the assault. Dr. Ward said proscutor came to him on the day in question, and on examination he found a wound on the upper part of the arm an inch and a half long, and he thought the wounds'he described might have been done by the knife produced. There were also some scratches on his face. *1 ^ewis Lewis said he charged the prisoner with the offence, to which he replied, Edwards and me were fighting. Edwards used a pikel and I drew a knife out of my pocket to protect myself. I did not use it." Prisoner, in defence, said he called at prosecutor's house one day and asked him for work. Edwards employed him, and lie thereupon asked to be paid weekly. Prosecutor assented, and on the Saturday following his engagement he went for his money and he received threepence, prosecutor's wife sav- ing she had no more money by her. On Monday he felt unwell, and consequently made up his mind to leave. He went to the prosecutor and in- formed him of his intention, whereupon prosecutor said he would not pay him until Saturday. He then told Edwards there was a way of getting it, whereupon the latter said he was master of his own premises, and told him (prisoner) to take his sling." Edwards then attacked him and he had to defend himself. The wound on prosecutor's arm was caused by his coming in contact with a nail fixed in a wall. He drew the knife to defend himself against the prosecutor and his two sons but he did not use it. Prisoner was found guilty and was sentenced to nine months' hard labour. A FAMILY ROW. William Davies surrendered to bis bail on a charge of unlawfully and maliciously wounding Robert Edwards on September 2nd last, at the parish ff BTerr,eY ~Mr- Wilbraham (instructed by Mr. E. M Jones) prosecuted, and Mr. S. Moss (in- structed by Mr. Martin Woosnam) defended. The prosecutor said he was a hawker, and lived at Berriew. He remembered the 2nd September; on returning to his home from Welshpool in the after- noon he was with his sister-the prisoner's wife. When he was half a mile from Berriew he saw the prisoner, who came to speak to his (prisoner's) wife, and who he abused. He asked prisoner what harm his wife had been doing, whereupon prisoner said, Now is the time to put thy lights out." He then ran round the cart and assaulted him, prisolier's wife at the same time shouting out, You have killed my brother, Bob." Prisoner then made off. The wounds he received were not done by the step of his cart. He went to the doctor and had his wounds attended to. Cross-examined He had been to the fair on many occasious, but never to an affair like the present (laughter). He arrived at the fair at half- past nine in the morning. He attended to his horse first, and himself afterwards, having with his breakfast (with a twinkle in his eye) a bottle of ginger beer (laughter). Asked what he had been drinking that morning, prosecutor (winking to the jury) again said ginger beer. Mr. Moss And you have had nothing but ginger beer all day ? ger Prosecutor Only a glass of port wine before I got up this morning (laughter). Mr. Moss And is that all ? Prosecutor Yess, sirr" (renewed laughter). Cross-examined He was not drunk when he left Welshpool, but he was a" bit fresh." His sister was not diunk, whilst his cousin had had some beer. His cousin fell ou.t of the trap on the way home. He did not quarrel with his sister when in the trap. Mr. Moss cross-examined the prosecutor at some length, his answers being very unsatisfactory, and on more than one occasion the Deputy Chairman had occasion to call upon hi-:1 to be more concise in his replies. Considerable amusement was caused to those present by Edwards's conduct. Dr. Patterson said he saw the last witness on the 2nd September, and upon examination found wounds on prosecutor's neck and at the back of his accepted prosecutor's statement, that it had been done by a sharp instrument. P.C. Thomas Hamer produced a knife found on the prisoner the day after the alleged assault. I Dr. Patterson, re-c:(!led, said th.> knife produced might have caused the W<JIII!!I", The man was verv [ drunk at the time, as also was ihe woman. The wound might have caused iiy a projecting edge other than a knife. David Getliin. farmer, living ssf. Lower Gelli farm, said on the day in qnesi :«>:> he saw tie ,1.1(1 prosecutor aud his sister on the Ben-iew ltoad. Haviug heard a row, lie went iron) his field to the roadway, when he saw Davies s yards before prosecutor's cart. Davies went ba -k to thern a ad commenced fighting with his wife and afterwards Edwards. He did not hear the latter say anything to Davies. Edwards, by some means, got out of the cart, and tumbled straight 0:1 to the road, the wheels going over both his legs. Edwards was knocked about the head. The dogs afterwards commenced fighting (laughter), but he could not tttJl what took place subsequently. Edwards came up to him bleeding, bur, he could not tell what he said as he made such a noise (laughter). I Cross-examined U, of them were drunk. George Evans, shoemaker, Berriew, and P.C. Hamer also gave evidence. The latter said that when he asked prisoner how the blood came upon the knife (produced) lis replied that he had been cutting rabbits with it. Coun.se! for the prosecution and the defence addressed the jury at some length, Mr Moss saying that the case had been unnecessarily prolonged and the evidence one mass of contradictions, theonly evid- ence in his opinion worth considering and impartially given being that of Mr Gethin and Dr. Patterson, P. and which, as lie wouid show, told in defendant's favour. Counsel also called the jury's attention to the disgraceful condition of the prosecutor, his sister, and cousin, ou the night in question, and said the fact of seeing one's wife with a child in her arms while in a drunken state was sufficient to annoy any man. Having laid stress upon the prosecutor's unseemly conduct in the witness box that day, he (counsel) submitted that the evidence against the prisoner was not sufficient to justify a charge like that mentioned against the prisoner's name in the calendar. The Deputy-Chairman summed up at some length, after which the jury returned a verdict of not guilty," a result which caused the audience to applaud, and which was instantly suppressed. The prisoner was thereupon discharged. This was all the criminal business. CIVIL BUSINESS. Captain ?T;'tton presided over the Court when it undertook the consideration of civil business. The first business was to appoint justices to exercise during the ensuing year within the county the powers conferred upon the judicial authority under the Lunacy Act, 1890, and the appointment of visitors of licensed houses for the reception of lunatics under the same Act.

Davies, E. Jones, and R. Astley with Mr. R. Williams (clerk). OVERCROWDING. A letter was read from the Cardiff Union stating that the Workhouse at that Union having been overcrowdea last winter, the Board would be glad to know whether this Board would add surplus accommodation in their Workhouse, and if so, whether they would be disposed, subject to terms being mutually arranged, to receive some of the permanent inmates of the Cardiff Workhouse- temporal ly-should it be found next winter that there was a necessity for sending them. A committee, consisting of Messrs. C. Morgan D. Hamer, and E. Jones was appointed to consider the letter. They subsequently reported that they could accommodate from 50 to 100 paupers, con- sisting of classes 1, 2, 5, 6, viz., adults, male and female, at an average cost. of 4s 6d per pauper, the Cardiff Union to find clothing, extra fees, and cost of funerals. Fourteen days' notice would be required to prepare for receiving paupers. REGISTRATION. The CLERK read a letter from the Registrar- General stating, in replv to a letter from the Board, that the upper and lower Llanidloes sub- districts could not be allowed to remain as at present constituted permanently, although it might be permitted for a time, on the understanding that the Guardians would appoint the relieving officer to the vacant registrarship of Lower Llanidloes sub. district, and that the amalgamation of the two sub-districts should take place on the occasion of the next vacancy. The Registrar-General pointed out the unnecessary expense incurred in maintain. ing two separate sub-districts, and also that com- pensation would be involved in carrying out the scheme recommended by the Guardians' committee It was resolved to amalgamate the two districts, and advertise for applications for the appointment to the next meeting of the Board.
