After an unqualified denunciation of the present land system, he advocated the aboli- tion of primogeniture and entail,, reasonable compensation to tenants for improvements and fixity of tenure. He also favoured a system of land nationalisation., whereby the whole of the land could be purchased, and placed under the administration of the County Councils, Town Councils, and other local authorities. Professor Levi also disapproved of the present method of proving titles to land, owing to the expense attached to it, and was of opinion that County Councils should be urged to exercise the power vested in them to adopt a register for the registra- tion of all titles, a. course which, he main- tained, would simplify matters very much.- A discussion followed, which was taken part in by "Mr. W. Edwards, F.C.W. Mr. J. Pafth Morgan, and the President.—A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Professor Levi for his address.

The weekly Petty Sessions was held on Wednesday at the Town Hall, before the Mayor (Mr. Isaac Hopkins) Mr. C. M. Wil- liams, and Mr. George Davies. Meat Prosecution.—Mary Parry, Bridge- street, was charged with exposing for sale meat which was unfit for human consumption Mr. A. J. Hughes, who appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Corporation, appliecT for an, adjournment, inasmuch as the Medical Offi- cer of Health, who examined the meat, had been unexpectedly called away-that morning. —Mr. W. P. Owen, who appeared for the de- fence, said the beast was never intended for human consumption, but as food for pigs.— Mr. Hughes said the sole object of the prose- cution was to have it clearhp established whether this"meat was exposed^ for sale for human consumption.—The Bench decided to hear the evidence.—James Evans, sanitary inspector, said he visited 55, Bridge-street, on January 6th, and there saw half a carcase of beef. The forepart was hanging on the door ,and the hind part was cut up in six parts, and placed on the table. These pieces were dressed for sale. He touched the meat, and it was soft, while the colour was a dark red. It also had a musty smell. He reported the matter to the Medical Officer, and they went to the house together. When they got there part of the meat had been removed In conspquence of what they were told, they went to Beehive-terrace, Trefechan, and found the meat in a sack in the back kitchen. He then obtained an order from the magis- trates to destroy the meat. On the table, by the window, in Mrs. Parry's house, there were pieces of bacon as well, so that in his opinion the meat was there for sale. She dealt in meat for human consumption.—Cross examined: He had been told that a cow had been sold at Llanbadarn. That was the only information he received. He could not say that when he visited the house part of the meat was being boiled. He knew defen- dant kept pigs. She had three on the data in question.—Mary Parry, the defendant, said the cow was given to her by John Pugh Llanbadarn OIL January 5th. After the an- imal W,18 killed, it was cut up, and brought down in sacks, together. with the offal, in a cart. Part of the meat was taken that night to Daniel Mathias' house to be boiled for the pigs. She did not joint any part of the meat for the purpose of selling iTToCustomers! It was cut up, and part of it put into the boiler to be boiled for the pigs, and the remainder was ready for boiling. She had seven pigs altogether.— Cross-' examined: She had not been selling meat for a long time. She did not sell bacon. She did not pay^John Pugh 5s. for the cow.—John Pugh, Llanbadarn, said the cow was quite healthy. It was, how- ever, thin and old, and suffered from lame- ness. Mrs. Parry told him she would boil the meat for the pigs. He gave it away be- cause it would not pay him to kill it.—After deliberating, the Mayor said the Bench ag- reed that the inspector had done his duty The case was a very suspicious one, but they would discharge the defendant with a cau- tion. Maintenance. Cases.— John Roberts,6 Amos Hill, Penygraig, Glamorgan, collier, was summoned to show cause why he should not be committed to prison, for refusing to pay..tl 17s. 6d., arrears due for the mainten- ance of his parent now chargeable to the Guardians of the Aberystwyth Union. He was ordered to be committed to priaon for one month.—A similar decision was given in the case of Wm. Jones, Tower Buildings, Miskin. Glamorgan, collier, the arrears in his case amounting to £1 7s. 6d.—John Jones, 129, Roberts-street, Ynysybwl, collier, was oidered to pay the sum of £1 12s. due for the maintenance of his mother, within 14 days. Richard Jones, Bridgend-road Pontycymmer, overman, was charged with neglecting to maintain his mother, Sophia Jones.—Ordered to pay 4s. per month. VALE OF RHEIDOL LIGHT RAILWAY. A QUESTION OF COSTS. In the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice on Friday last (before Mr. Justice Kekewich) Mr. Stokes moved on the part of Georgina Rebecca Margaret Louisa .Lloyd of Panteg ,in the parish of St. Dog- mell's, widow, and John Morgan, of Rhiwar- thenssia, Cardiganshire, farmer, that an order dated 9th July, 1903,, made in the mat- ter of the Vale of Rheidol Light Railways might be discharged, because in the petition upon which the order was made there was no reference to the agreement dated 31st Dec- ember, 1901, between Lloyd and Morgan and the respondent, and on other grounds. The learned counsel said that the railway com- pany had acquired certain property belong- ing to the plaintiffs. There had been an agreement, and notice to treat was given to both of them, which resulted n agree- ment by which compensation was to be paid, the amount of which was to be referred to arbitration, and the company was to pay the costs of the negotiations, agreement, arbi- tration, and the investigation of title and conveyance. The company had purchased certain lands in the county of Cardigan for the purposes of the raihvay, but under the provisions of the Lands Clauses Act the Vale of Rheidol Railway Company were bound to pay the plaintiffs the costs, and the parties had delivered their bills containing the costs or the negotiations from the beginning. The matter had been before the taxing master, and it now came into court, Mr. Griffiths Jones admitted that the matter must go back to the Taxing Master in some shape or form. Mr. Justice Kekewich: In what shape or form can you send it back to the Taxing Master? Mr. Griffiths Jones: For him to tax the costs. I think that the order should be amended, and that the Taxing Master should deal with the bills of costs. Mr. Justice Kekewich; I do not know that there are any bills of costs in this matter. I have no doubt there will be by-and-bye. (Laughter). Mr. Griffiths Jones said there was onq bill of costs on behalf of the landlord and one on behalf of the ten- ant. Mr. Justice Kekewich: The whole thing is quite irregular. I can do nothing else but discharge the order. Mr. Stokes: With costs my lord ? Mr. Justice Kekewich: Yes, I think vou are entitled to the costs oc- casioned by the order which has been made.

University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. LECTURE BY DR. HERFORD. On Friday evening last Dr. Herford visited the scene of his former labours to deliver a lecture to the Teachers' Guild on "Some Women in the Icelandic Sagas." The lecturer gave an amusing and ingenious explanation of the connection between the subject of his lecture and the objects of .the Guild. The following is a brief summaiy of his admirable lecture:- The Icelandic people were a vigorous sec- tion of the Teutonic people, untouched by the influences of European literature. In the 9th, 10th and early 11th centuries were- produced the Sagas, which give us a picture of local tiatory for aaany generations. So' remarkable are these writings, that we know far more of the condition of society in Ice- land in the 10th century, than we do of England in "the 13th. Life in bleak and desoilate Iceland in these times was sucfe as called all the aspects of womanhood into action civil and legal ideas were highly developed; Iceland was the America of the Middle Ages, when Norwegian adventures were driven t to seek their fortunes. The homestead was the uuit of Icelandic life, built by the sea, surrounded by grazing land. autonomous,; the chief was statesman, warrior, country gentleman, all in one; bedsides deriving some ecclesiastical status from his posession of the heathen tem- ple. Farming aud fishing were the ordinary occupations; and the sssps often present an incongruous combination of tragedy and common prose. There was no idea that it was menis! to have to work with the hands in^ the }.:>t.dd. :incl ivc rend of prosperous men and beantit'nI maidens taking part in mstic work, 4 -si a** in Houjyr's Giceee, Between the free and the bondmen there was an absolute barrier, but amongst the rree there were oniy shauea of difference. Visitors to Iceland were numerous, and thUti the hospitality and lugeiiuity 01 the women were taxed to the utmost; there was no servility; and a re- publican freedom of manners obtained. The conditions or lite imposed an equal eask on, and caUed out the same qualities in both sexes. Their wide hospitality made each farmhouse a free hostelry. Through their responsibilities the women were practically emancipated, much as they have been freed in our-days. The father alone had a say whether a new- born child was to be allowed to live or was to be exposed. The mother often contrived to save the child, but we find no benevolent princesses or genial, sentimental wolves in the Sagas, which have lucid simplicity and ease, coupled sometimes with consummate art, in place of the sensational, unexpected, artificial developments of the tales of romance. To place children out with foster-parents was a common custom, grounded on honour- able motives on both sides; the foster-par- ents were generally of a lower status, in order that the children might be hardened. Love and lovers do not play much part in the Sagas; the young swain asks for the daughter in marriage, is accepted, and forth- with married. But occasionally the father withholds his consent, or rivals appear; and there is one Saga which tells how a maiden with such abundance of golden hair that she could hide herself in it, was loved by two thin waisted, fair haired warrior- poets, who gruesomely slay each other; whereupon the ladv marries another poet. But the ordinary conditions of Icelandic life do not permit of romance; the women are business-like, and practically control their own interests. In their loves fatalism plays a large part. The real career of a woman in Iceland be- gan when she became a wife. She is often concerned in the interminable feuds common amongst all Teutonic races. She frequently stirs the men to take revenge,, drives them to bloodshed, and to midnight burning of houses. There were Clytaemnestras and Medeas enough amongst this people. We read of women perishing heroically with their husbands in the flames. Clever and thrifty housewifes, who could spin wool and manage household affairs (like the hausfrau in Schiller) could also send their husbands out to waylay an evening. This Norse wo- manhood is mirrored in the wife of the god Wodin, who not only has charge of house- hold affairs, but rides on the wind. We read of conjugal quarrels; of women cursing; of their repentence, lament and longing when it is too late and the loved one is slain in battle. How fain would I clasp him who rode the goldsaddled horse" cries one with "tears as blood" streaming from her eyes after the battle. And these pic- tures and descriptions are studded with gorgeous similes. Here too we read of the princess who has been reared by humble foster parents, and who, when she hears of her high birth, be- comes imbued with the warlike spirit, and claims from the turning pyres of the war- riors, her heritage—a sword enveloped in flames, knowing well, but heedless, that she is seeking her own doom. The women were never unwilling to (suffer and to die with their kindred, and were most eager to avenge any wrongs which their re- latives had endured. The heroine who believes she has been slighted by her lover, brings about the death of her warrior and tragically slays herself with all her slaves. Often the women are better to read about, than to live with; they display a ruthlessness, and an alacrity in surrendering their own fierce love; a love which always has potential hatred hidden in it; and even in the noblest, love is limited. Clan-devotion counts for everything; their ethics are local, transitory, superficial. An- tigone realized at her death that her end was the fulfillment of Fate, and dies, happy in rendering a service to humanity. Iceland produced no Antigones, but it produced the stuff of which Antigones were made.

ABERAYRON
ABERAYRON MARWOLAETH A CHLADDEDIGAETH MR. THOMAS DAVIES, BRYNPEITHYLL, ABERARTH. Dydd Llun y 18fed cyfisol bu farw Mr Thomas Davies, Brynpeithyll, yn hen ac yn Hawn o ddydd- iau, sef.83 mlwydd oed. Yr oedd yn enedigol o'r gymmydogaeth ac heb fod oddiyma yn byw erioed. Priododd ferch y Llain, ac oddiyno yn gynar yn ei fywyd priodasol symudodd i Brynpeithyll lie y treuliodd y rhan fwyaf o'i oes. Yr oedd efe o ran ei ddyn oddiallan yn dal a lluniaidd, ac yn cario yn ei osgo a'i wyneb, y dewrder a'r penderfyniad ydoedd mor nodweddiadol o hono. Perthynai efe i'r oes o'r blaen o ran ei opiniynan a'i ragfarnau ac yn ddios yr oedd yn treat o'r fatb oreu i'w glywed yn traethu ei farn ar wahanol bynciau a symudia- dau y dydd. Nid oedd efe yu debyg i neb, ac ni cheid neb ar y ddaear yn debyg iddo yntau. Fel y dywedwyd yn ei angladd, dyn un peth ydoedd, ac yn arbenig dyn un llyfr. Ni phroffesai ddarllen dim ond ei Feibi, er y taflai olwg mynych dros 'Daith yPererin,"a chyfrolau o'r cylchgrawn. Mewn gwleidyddiaeth yr oedd yn Radical didroi yn ol. Gwyddai yn dda am orthrwm y dyddiau gynt, ac ni cheid ef am unrhyw wobr, yn gwneud osgo i blvgu y glun i Baal. Nid oedd efe yn sylwi nem- awr ar ddillad ac airs y crach-foneddwr ond yn ei fesur yn ol y maint o ddyn oedd ynddo. Nid oedd bygytbiad na gwen y rhai a ystyrient eujhvnain yn uwch nag ef mewn cymdeitbas yn ddigun 1 beri iddo ef wadu y gronyn lleiaf arno ei hun, mewn barn nac egwyduor. Yr oedd yn Ddadgyssylltwr o waelod ei galon, ac edrycbai ar Eglwys Loegr fet meitbrinfa i Babyddiaeth. Nis gallai edrych ar ffurfiau eglwysig" ond fel efelychiadau o Eglwys Rhufain. Pan ymwelodc1 y Royal Land Commission ag Aberayron flynyddoedd yn ol, galwyd arno ef i roddi tysliolaeth dros ran o'r plwyf yr oedd yn tri- giannu ynddo. Rhoddodd ei dystiolaetb mewn geiriau gwirionedd a sobrwydd, ac ni throdd i'rdde nac i'r aswy, pa beth bynrag fuasai y canlyniadau iddo fel deiliad a thyddynwr. Yr oedd yn gredwr mawr yn Thomas G( 3, a pliarhaod(I i son am Tom Ellis.a Lloyd George fel ddynion gwerthfawr i Gymru tra y bu byw. Galarai amTom Ellis, pan fu farw y gwr da hwnnw, megis am ei gynl-ii*aneclig. Nid oedd amser bir er pan yr aethai ef a nifer o'i ffryndiau i Gaerlyrddin i wrandaw areitbiau Mr Ellis a Mr Lloyd George ar bwnc y tir. Yr oeddjyn Brotestant o'i wadan i'w goryn, a pha beth bynnag, mewn arferion eglwysig a chrefyddol a gredai ef oedd yn tueddi at Rufeiniaeth, codai ei law, cauai ei ddwrn a dywedai y gair a fuasai yn rhoddi terfyn ar bob siarad. 0 herwydd hyn, yr oeddyn gas gan ei enaid am offerynau cerdd yn y cyssegr ac edry- chai ar y fath symudiad fel arwydd sicr o Rufeini- aeth yn ymwtbio i mewn yn raddol. Anaml y gwelwyd ei gyvvirach ef, pa un bynnag ai masnachu a dynion neu ynte drin arian yr achos a fyddai. Gellid ymddiried pob peth iddo yn ddiofid a dibry- der, yr oedd mor uniawn ar saeth. Ni cbeid neb mwy egwyddorol nac efe pe y chwilid yr hoil wlad. Ni cbariai wyneb, megis yr awgrymwyd, i neb; gwelid ar amrantiad bob amser yn mha gyfeiriad yr oedd ei opiniwn a'i galon yn rhedeg. Mor onest oedd efe, fel yr oedd ei wyneb a'i air bob amser yn ddangoscg anffaeleclig o'i fewnol ddyn. Bu yn flaenor yn eglwys (M. C.) Tanybryn, am flynydd- oedd lawer, a cbariodd yr arch heb rwgnach. Collerl fawr oedd ei golli- collwyd caricLor na welwn un cyffelyb etto, o bossibl, yn ein hoes. Llanwodd ei le yn ddeheuig mewn avgyfwng pwy- sig yn hanes eglwys Tanybryn, fel blaenor, atbraw, a dechreuwr canu. Gwelid arno arwyddion ers tro fod y ty yn dadfeilio, ac ni fu yn y capel er yr ad- newyddiad diweddara wnaed arno. Claddsvyd ef prydnawn dydd Gwener diweddaf (22ain o Ionawr) yn mynwent eglwysig Llanddewi. Nid yn ami y gwelwyd angladd mor lliosogyn y rbannau gwledig hyn. Gaitawodd ar ei 01 naw 0 blant-pump 0 fei. bion a pbedair o ferched-y rhai oeddent oil yn y gladdedigaeth oddiethr un mab, yr hwn sydd ers blynyddoedd yn yr America. Y prif alarwyr oedd- ent—Miss Margaret Davies (mercti), Mr Morgan Davies, (mab), a Mrs Davies (merch-ynghyfraitb), Mr John ac Mrs Ellen Davies, Pentre Ystrad (mab- yn hyfraitb a merch), Mr a Mrs David Davies, landdewi (mab a mercb-ynghyfraith), Mr a Mrs Thomas Davies, Llettyshon (mab a merch-ynghy- fraitb), Mrs Williams, Penydarren (merch), Mrs Davies, Abeiystwyth (merch), Miss Anne Davies (merch), ynghyd ag amryw o wyrion a wyresau, hefyd Capt a Mrs Thomas, Cnwcylili, Ceinewydd. Gwasanaethwyd yn y ty gan y Parch J Thickens, ac yn y fynwent gan offeiriad y plwyf.

< NEWCASTLE EMLYN Fashionable Wedding. J AMES-DAVIES. On Tuesday a fashionable and interesting wedding was solemnized at Bethel Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, when Mr. James E. James, Gwalia, Newcastle Emlyn, son of Mrs. James Gwalia House, Cardigan, was wedded io Miss Gctta Davies, only daughter of our respected townsman, Mr. David Davies, C.C., Angel House. Early in the morning the booming of guns, etc., announced the happy event, and the town itself presented a picturesque scene, being profusely decorated with flags, bunting, and a triumphal arch. The inhab- itants were evidently determined to empha- size the esteem and respect in which the two houses are tield. The interior of the chapel had been taatefully de- corated with palms and evergreens by lady members of the congregation. Punctually at ten the bride walked up the aisle, leaning upon the arm of her father, who gave her away, and attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Dora Morgan, the bride's cousin, and Miss Blodwen James, (sister of the bridegroom). The nuptial knot was tied by the Rev. Evan Phillips, pastor. The best man was Mr. D. T. James, bridegroom's brother, while Mies Davies Llanybri House presided at the or- gfm and played the Wedding March as the party emerged from the chapel. Long be- fo p the hour fixed for the ceremony the ci-iapel as crowded with friends and well- wisnors of the bride and bridegroom. The bride looked charming in a lovely gown of vlk, tl,e bodice and-skirt being ex- quisitely gauged and trimmed with crcam satin herring-bone insertion, with a hat ef white ;"tnm-, interlaced cream uisortion, and trimmed with white satin ribbon, silver but- tons and long ostrich plume. She carried a choice bouquet of white chrysanthemums, lilies of the valley, and syclamine, with satin streamers, and wore a gold watch bangle and gold brooch, gifts of the bridegroom. The bridesmaids wore beautiful dresses of pale blue eolienne trimmed with white silk and insertion, with black picture hats trimmed with ostrich feathers. They carried bou- quets of white chrysanthemums, and blue flowers, and wore gold bangles, gifts of the bridegroom. The ceremony over, the wed- ding party drove back to Angel House, amid a perfect deluge of rice and confetti. A re- cherche spread was there partaken of, among the guests being Rev. E. Phillips, Dr. Lloyd, Dr. Powell, Mr. George, solicitor, together with the relatives of the bride and bride- groom. The wedding cake was supplied by Buzzard. of London, through Mr. Joshua a Thomas," cbemist. Mr. and Mrs. James left by the one o'clock train for Cardiff, en route for London, where the honeymoon will be spent. At the station a large crowd assem- bled and gave them a hearty send off. The bride's going away dress was of blue zibeline cloth, piped with white cloth and trimmed with silk gimp, with a hat to match. It is worthy of note that the town clock bell was used on this occasion, the first since its erection The bell has been adapted for occasions of rejoicing, but the fact seems to have been overlooltecu The bell was rung by Mr. R.

THE NUISANCE AT BRONEIRION,…
THE NUISANCE AT BRONEIRION, CAPEL BANGOR. [To the Editor of the "Welsh Gazette. Sir,—Allow me to refer to the letter sent to the Abeiystwyth Rural District Council by the Rev. M. Morgan, and published in your last issue, charging me with having made false statemnts i nregard to the above complaint. As my truthfulness; is in dispute, I shall be obliged if you will kindly allow me to verify my statements by publishing the following letters received from the Inspector Hendre Villa, December 8th, 1903. Dear Sir,—I will visit the place before the end of the week, and if any nuisance will be found-it must be abated at oiiee.-Youi-H truly, J. Hughes. On the 22nd of December Mr. Hughes did visit the place, and took measurements of distance between the house and cowsheds, and said that the cattle and dung heap must be removed at once. On the 7th January, I received the following letter:— Hendre Villa, January öth, 1904. Dear Sir,—I have written to your Vicar in which I stated that I would insist on having the cowshed removed forthwith.—Yours truly, J. Hughes. Hendre Villa, January 14th, 1904. Dear Sir,—I beg to inform you that I came so far as Aberystwyth yesterday with the sole ob- ject of visiting your place, but fortunately met with Mr. Morgan your Vicar ,w90 pro- mised me that he would comply with all my requisitions and that he will abate the nui- sance forthwith.—Yours truly, J. Hughes. The cowshed and a large dung heap stands' on a slope a few yards above my house. The liquid from the dung heap and the urine from the cowshed drains by my kitchen window. The stench in the morning when the shed is being cleaned is fearful. Mr. Parry, the District Councillor, at my request, visit- ed the place on Saturday, the 16th inst. He also can prove Iaat my statements are per- fectly correct. io not wish to guide the Rev. M. Morgan, but surely when there is a nuisance that makes my house uninhabit- able I ought to have a word to say. If the cowshed is not a nuisance why did the Inspec- tor order its removal P—Yours truly H W- MORGAN. fTGr*
