LONDON KNAVERY.—Judgment has just been delivered in the case of Rees v. Bernirdy, tne facts of which are more than usually interesting. The counsel engaged wer^ Air Astburv, Q-C., Mr Griffith Jones, and Mr T. M. Whitehouse (instructed by Messrs Smith and Davies, Aberystwyth), for the plaintiffs, and Mr Nevill, Q.C., Mr H. Tyrell, and Mr Brabent for the defendants. It appeared from the statement of counsel and the evidence that a collier in Staffordshire named William Howells left his native country in the year 1856, at the time beicg absolutely penniless. In 1863 he died with- out a will, leaving behind him freehold property in New Zealand which brings in a rental of L375 a year. Tuese rents were received and accumulated by the official trustee in New Zealand. In 1889 the defendant, Lucien de Bernardy, who carried on business as a next-of-kin agent in London, set to work to find out the rightful heirs to the property, and, atter several abortive attempts, discovered that, they were a Mrs Anne Walters, who resided at Borth in Cardiganshire, and her sister Mrs Jane York. Both were ladies over seventy years of age, in poor circnmstances, and uneducated. The defendant got them to meet him on Sunday the 19th of May, 1889, and, after informing them that he knew of some property which belonged to them, but refusing to give them any information as to it unless they agreed to give him half of what they got, he induced them to sign an agreement to this effect. After the agreement had been signed he gave them particulars of the property, and the accumulations of the rents were remitted to the defendant's solicitor, whom the defendant per- suaded Mrs Walters and Mrs York to employ. The defendant took one-half of these accumulations and paid the other half over to the two widows. This arrangement went on until both the old ladies died, in 1893, no other solicitor having been consalted in the matter. After the decease of Mrs Walters and Mrs York, on going into tho old ladies' affairs to prove their wills, Messrs Smith and Davies, solicitors, of Abery3twyth, became acquainted with the transaction. They at once communicated wilh New Zealand to stop further payments, and set about getting at the root of the matter with a view of getting the transactions set aside. Ulti- mately this action was commenced for the purpose, the grounds for setting aside agreements being, first, that they were void as coming within the mischief of maintenance, and therefore contrary to public policy; secondly, that they were executed by Mrs Walters and Mrs York without having sufficient independent advice, and, therefore, should !)e set aside by a court of equity.—Mr Justice Romer, in his judgment, decided that the docu- ments should be set aside on both grounds, and directed that the defendant should account to the plaintiffs, who were the executors of Mrs Walters and Mrs York, for all moneys received by him, and should pay all the costs of the action. The result, as far as the plaintiffs are concerned, is that they will benefit to the extent about 95,000, as the property is said to be worth at least E6,000, and the accumulation of rents, after allowing for all deductions, will come to quite £ 4,000.

Mr Jones had entered them in the Junior Cup for each season and they were also third in the Junior League this season. Mr T. Cleeton also highly complimented Mr Jones on his services.—Mr E. R. Jones in reply said (amid cheers) that he scarcely knew how to thank the members of the Caersws football clnb sufficiently for their kindness towards him in pre- senting him with so valuable a memento. He how- ever wished to say he was pleased to find that his duties had proved satisfactory and he hoped the members would remain together, and next season they would be sure to improve more and he wished them every success.

SALE OF WORK.—Airs Humphreys-Uwen yester- day afternoon opened a very successful sale of work in the Schoolroom of the Weslevan Methodist Chapel, Caersws, the proceeds of which are to be devoted towards the expenditure incurred by the damage done to the Church building during the storm which swept over the Severn Valley on Sun- day night, February 1894. The stalls were ex- ceedingly well arranged with a quantity of useful and ornamental articles, contributed by kind friends, whilst there were in addition a produced and miscellaneous stall, a flower stall, and also another for refreshments, and they were ably presided over by the following ladies:—Mrs Bradley, Mrs Ed- wards, Stone House, Mrs Edwards, Chapel Keeper, Mrs Evans, Stone House, Mrs and Miss Francis, The Station, Mrs and Miss Morgan, Little London, Mrs and Miss Norton, Miss Swain, The Shop, Mrs Wilks, and Mrs Evans, Main-street. The whole of the arrangements were in the hands of the above- mentioned ladies, with the assistance of Rev E. Liddon Parry, minister, Newtown, Mr R. Savage, trustees' treasurer, Caersws, and Mr J. Franci3, stationmaster, the latter also performing the arduous duties of hon. secretary. There was a good attendance at the opening ceremony. The sale of goods was brisk from the commencement of the proceedings to the close, and the interest was kept up by an excellent programme of vocal and instrumental music, together with other entertain- ments at intervals during the evening, under the conductorship of Mr G. Evans. In declaring the sale of work open, Mrs Humphreys-Owen said she was very glad to be present with them that after- noon, and she must in the first place thank them for their kindness in asking her to come down there to open their sale of work. When she first received the invitation she was doubtful whether Q h a. 11 loaiiy ougnt to accept the honour, because they a a good friend in their neighbour, Mrs Edward avies, Plaadinam; but when she heard that Mrs avies was going to support her on that occasion lately accepted the kind invitation ( pp ause). On looking round at the collec- tion of good things she was pleased to find that they were not all of one character, but of a diversified nature as regarded size, etc. She was of opinion that a sale of work of that description ought to teach them a good many lessons, besides furthering the specific object for which the sale was promoted. A sale of work represented a large amount of work and time as well as the trouble in getting so many things to- gether. It was not made up of a number of large things, but a quantity of small articles. She thought the life of all individuals should be devoted to the attention of small things as well as large (hear,hear). If they looked to the small things they would make their lives more happy, whilst they would also further the happiness of those with whom they mixed (hear, hear, and applause). There were some people who were apt to forget small things in their desire to attend to the larger things of this life but she would impress upon them the well worn maxim, "great things from little spring" (loud ap- plause). In conclusion she had very great pleasure in declaring the bazaar open.—Mr Francis pro- posed, and Rev. E. Liddon Parry seconded, a vote of thanks to Mrs Humphreys-Owen and Mrs Edward Davies for their presence there that afternoon.— The vote having been carried with acclamation, Mrs Davies, in reply, observed that whenever it was possible they were only too pleased to do what they could for the well-being of those in the neighbourhood (applause).—Votes of thanks were also accorded the ladies who superintended the arrangements in the promotion of the sale of work, aud to the treasurer and secretary LLANFAIR. SPECIAL FAIR.-This, the first of these fairs, was very well supplied with stock, and cart pigs, and cows and calves sold at good prices. Owing to the fair not being well known, however, the attendance of dealers was small. THUNDERSTORM.—On Wednesday afternoon a terriffic thunderstorm broke over here. The light- ening was most vivid, and a valuable cow belong- ing to Mr David Jehu was killed thereby. -+--

AND MRS. HARRISON'S AT HOME. The day's proceedings terminated with an At Home in the Town Hall, Montgomery, there being present some two hundred and fifty guests in response to the invitation issued by Col and Mrs Harrison to commemorate their son's comiDg-of- p,ge. The hall had been most charmingly decorated for the occasion, the Court room which had been converted into a supper room being deserving of special mention. The supper table was exceedingly well laid out, and it literally groaned beneath the good things provided. The background was well set off with large mirrors, displayed on some fine pieces of velvet, whilst the whole was much im- proved with a fine display of flowors. From the ceiling was hung a quantity of festocning, inter- spersed with baskets of flowers. Credit for this is due to G. J.j Clipstone, of the Dragon Hotel, who provided the supper, which won loud encomiums, the comestibles being of the best possible description and sufficient to satisfy the most punctilious lover of the inner man. The Assembly Room also came under the decora- tors' eye, the bare walls being metamorphosed into brightness by the introduction of handsome lace curtains, festooning and evergreens. The platform was also well laid out, and was devoted to the orchestra, which was occup'e<i by Mr Fred Owen s Countv Band, the programme of music, which gave general satisfaction, being made of eighteen dances, was a3 follows v'alse, country dance, polka, valse, lancers, pas de quo-tt-e, circassion circle, valse, polka, lancers, schottische (highland), galop, mazurka, lancers, pas de quatre, Sir Ito-er de Co^crley, valse, polka. The staircase'and cloakrooms were also well laid out, and the portico was utilised as a retiring room. The M.C.'s were Messrs G. J. Clipstone, T. H. George, and C. B. Williams, and they were inde- fat:gable in their efforts to make the occasiou a pleasant and enjoyable one to he assembled guests. They were very kindly assisted by Mr Hugh I-Iarricon, whose geniality was much appreciated. even Colonel Harrison unfortunately was prevented from attending but there were present from Caerhowel Mrs Harrison, Mr Hugh and Miss Harrison Mr Meyrick (Apley, Welliugton, Salop), Mr L.

Dancing commenced at nine o'clock and was con- tinued until the early hours of this morning, one and all having spent a most enjoyable time, which will be for long remembered. In our report of Wednesday's proceedings, which will be found on page 3 we omitted the name of Mrs. Jones, Rhydy ware, from the list of tea-makers. On Thursday Colonel Harrison, assisted by his agent and the Mayor of Montgomery (Mr E R James), distributed over half a ton of beef to householders in the district. The ox was speeially fed for the auspicious event, and when alive stood over 15 hands high, its dead weight, being 1,271 lbs It was slaughtered, dressed and cut up by Messrs C. P. Davies, Montgomery, and W Davies, Forden. The triumphal arch erected near the Caerhowel Inn we should not forget to mention, was greatly ad- mired by all, decorations being also conspicuous at Montgomery and Forden.

Langford stated that the prisoners had behaved in a most dastardly manner. They went to the house of Mrs. Roberts and walked straight in. On being put out they broke open the door and the window, and when Mr Hawkins came to Mrs. Roberts' assistance they knocked him down and kicked him, aud behaved in a violent manner. When being taken to the lock-up Harrington struck Sergt. Roberts a heavy blow in the mouth. It was a case where the fullest penalty ought to be in- flicted. The public had given the police every possible assistance in taking the prisoner's to the lock-up. In the cells the prisoners' conduct had bee!' disgraceful, having smeared the rugs and floor with filth.- Mrs. Jane Roberts, 58, Roft street, and Mr. Alfred Hawkins gave corroborative evidence.— Mr. Edgar Gowaulock, Queen's Hotel, testified to seeing the assault committed on Mr. Hawkins. Witness had to strike the prisoners with his stick to prevent them doing any further harm to Haw- kins. He saw Kelly brake a pane of glass with his foot, and also saw Harrington strike P.S. Roberts when oeing taken to the lock-Lip.-P.S. Roberts stated that lie went to Roft street about nine o'clock and found the accused men in the centre of a large crowd. Harrington struck him a heavy blow in the mouth when being taken to he lock-up. Kelly had to be carried along the "treet as he refused to walk.-P.C. Russell corroborated.—The magistrates adjourned for gome time to consider the case, and, in passing sentence, the Mayor said the magistrates had discussed the case, and were of opinion it was a most disgraceful one. Harrington was then sentenced to five months' imprisonment with hard labour, and Kelly to four months' imprisonment with hard labour.—The Mayor also said he had to thank those persons who assisted the police in taking the prisoners to the lock-up.—Supt.

THE PROPOSED OSWESTRY AND LLANGYNOG LIGHT RAILWAY. PUBLIC MEETING. On Monday a public meeting was held in the Guildhall, Oswestry, to consider the construction of a Light Railway from Oswestry to Llanrhaiadr and Llangynog. Considerable interest was evinced in the matter, the Court-room being crowded in every part. Tne Mayor (Mr C. E. Williams) presided, and was supported by Messrs W. H. Spaull, T. Whitfield, George Owen, J. Parry Jones (town clerk), and Mr Pennant Lloyd. Amongst those present were :— Revs T. Redfern, J. Davies Jones, and W. Caradog Jones, Oswestry, D. Davies, Llansilin, R.

Roberts, Miner's Arms, Robert Owen, etc. Mr JOHN WILLIAMS (town clerk's office), read the notice calling the meeting, and also the several letters which had been received from persons unable to attend.—Mr Forrester Addie wrote stat- ing that lie was sure Lord Powis would be ready to do all he could to promote the construction of the proposed light railway.—Captain Wynn wrote stating the scheme would receive his most active support.—Mr Stanley Leighton, M.P., wrote stating that the proposed railway was most desirable, and from the immense amount of traffic on the roads between the two places he was sure it would be heartily supported. He would be very glad as member of Parliament to promote the object (ap- plause). -Col Gough wrote supporting the proposal. -Alr Humphreys-Owen, M.P., wrote saying he believed that light and a cheaply made and main- tained line from Llangynog would, in addition to tLe indirect benefit which it would confer on the district, lay a reasonable rate of interest on the cost of its construction. In the first place the scheme would require to be carefully thought out beforehand, trustworthy measurements and esti- mates obtained, the money guaranteed by substan- tial persons, and the land, if npt free of charge, at all events at fair agricultural value. He should be glad if a convenient time could be fixed during the recess to visit Penybout and Llanrhaiadr for further information on the subject.—Letters were also read from Mr Openshaw, Mr Herbert Roberts, Mr Geo. Perks, Dr Cartwright, and Mr Wynne Corrie sup- porting the proposal. The MAYOR, before opening the proceedings, said he would take this first public opportunity of welcoming their Town Clerk back to Oswestry after his absence of six months. He trusted that both he and Mrs Parry-Jones had benefitted by their extended holiday (applause). The object of the meeting was to once again discuss the question of a railway to Llangynog. Notwithstanding the energetic steps that had from time to time been made on the same subject the district was still without a railway and to-day they had met to con- sider the question again. Under the Light railway Bill which had been introduced by the present Government the money would have to be raised partly by shareholders, partly by lates, and partly by Government loans. As far as he could see the provisions of the Bill were fairly good and if County^Councils, property owners, farmers and others so disposed would help them it would be possible to bring those districts distant from the railway into communication. This object could only be accomplished by co-operation. They- wanted the co-operation of all the owners of pro- perty (applause). The object of the Light Railway Bill was to increase the facilities for doing business and to give general comfort and efficiency. It was provided in Clause J. Section 2 that it would be the duty of the Light Railway Commissioners to carry the Act into effet and to offer so far as lay in their power every facility for considering and maturing application for a light railway. The speaker then detailed the various clauses of the Bill showing the powers conferred on the promoters for raisiug the necessary funds for carrying out the object, and in y I conclusion said the Government only helped those who helped themselves. Supposing they were to make a light railway from Oswestry to Llangynog and supposing the estimated cost was £ 2,000 per mile, the total cost v/ould be £ 30,000. Of that amount £15,000 would require to be found bv the ratepayers, County Councils and so forth, and it would have to be found by the ratepayers and councils of the district through which the light railway ran. The question they had to decide at present was whether it wns desirable to have a railway to Llangynog or not. The question of the ,,y route it was to take would be decided by a com- mittee which would be appointed. He had been asked to point out that no liability would be L attached to any members of tne Committee. Mr J. J. ROBELITS, Oswestry, in proposing the resolution that it was desirable that a light railway should be constructed to Llangynog, said no one Ily was more interested in the scheme than he was. He considered it was the duty of every tradesman of Oswestry to do all that lay in their power to further the scheme, as they were all aware the agricultural districts were in very low water. Competition with foreign countries was becoming 'ieener and keener every month and they had to look that fact in the face. One of the reasons why foreign countries could afford to send their goods into this country was because they had got better railway facilties. They could bring their stock and goods to their ports at very much less expense than in England. The district they were considering now was one of the loviiest spots in their country and the farmers bad killed many a good horse in bringing a small load to the market of Oswestry (applause). He firmly believed that the town of Oswestry would benefit, to a great extent, by this railway. He did not propose the resolution because he believed he himself would benefit in any way by it. Some friends in Oswestry opposed the scheme because they believed that by this railway Llan- gynog might become a very large town (applause), and that what trade came from that district now would come to be kept at home (loud applause). If that should happen he would be very pleased. Perhaps if Llangynog did become a prosperous town the tradesmen of Oswestry would not be the last to find their way there (applause). Rev. OWEN JONES (Llangynog) said he rose with very great pleasure to second the resolution, and for the reason that he wished to be benefitted by the railway. It seemed to him almost super- fluous to prove the necessity of this railway. If that was necessary, a gentleman present who was an expert, a landowner, and a quarryowner, would be able to give them all the information they re- quired. It had been said that nature was very grand at Llaugynog, but they altio felt the need of human nature, and it was quite clear that their natural outlet was Oswestry. It was the natural link between Llangynog and the wide world (applause). The Light Railway Bill was introduced specially by the present Government to help the agricultural interest, and that was an interest which needed help; and this particular district needed all the help that could be given to it. When he came to Oswestry he felt he had stepped into civilisation, and could go to wherever he wished (loud arpglause). Mr. PEXNAXT LLOYD said it was very encouraging to see such an enthusiastic meeting lie came as the representative of no less tha'n one hundred people from the neighbourhood of Llangynog, who had signed the petition, and who hall as!ind hitn to represent, them and the great in- terest they hid in the scheme. The first thing he would allude to was the very great, interest that would accrue to the railway company if the railway was once established. He had a quarry which wanted developing, and he was sure if the railway was established they would be able to send as many slates to Oswestry as would cover the whole town (applause). jWith this railway the slates of North Wales would be able to get into the market with very great advantage, not only to the seller, but also to the buyer. They would also, by means of the railway, get coal much cheaper into Llangynog aud this would have the effect of inereasin-' their machinery and developing their other products, which would also find their way into Oswestry. There was one thing he would add as a warning to the < >swestry people. They would remember that when the Great Western railway was established the people tried to drive the Great Western away from tHe town (hear, hear). The Great Western Company was by no means bound to Oswestry, and he would point out the probability of their having a rival. It seemed to him if the Oswestry people supported this scheme now they would have a locus sttriidA which no Great Western Railway could oust them from. -+-

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. | BY TELEGRAM.] FRIDAY AFTERNOON. ALL-NIGHT SITTING. The House of Commons has been engaged all night in Committee on the Land Rating Bill. Dur- ing the early morning several members of the Opposition objected to an application by the Chair- man of Committee, and the Speaker was called in. Messrs Lloyd George, Herbert Lewis, John Dillon, Dr Tauner and Mr Donald Sullivan refusing to leave their scats for division were suspended, while Messrs Michael Davitt, Macaleese, and J O'Connor were removed by the Sergeant-at-Arms. As the incident was not reported by the Speaker to the House both hon. members returned to the chamber after the division and took part unchallenged in the subsequent proceedings, whereas the members who had been suspended for less flagrant breach of order were excluded. Mr Balfour, Mr Chamberlain, Lord Geo. Hamilton, Mr Curzon, and Mr Stuart Wortley remained on the Treasury Bench all night but the only occu- pants of the front Opposition Bench who sat through the sitting were Sir William Harcourt, Mr Mundella, and Mr T. Ellis. Four ladies including Lady Frances Balfour re- mained in the ladies gallery all night watching the proceedings. An extraordinary demand was made upon the refreshment department, and a thousand eggs alone were useed during the night; the contractor went out and bought up the contents of a fish shop. London, 2 p.m. The House adjourned until June 1st. The Land Bill has passed through committee stage.
