ST CH R 'S WINTER SALE. WINTER SALE.—Our Winter Sale is now proceeding, and will continue throughout the month. Our aim is to dispose of all made-up garments, remnants, and all goods that carry date, or are slightly out of condition N TO REDUCE STOCK,—Owing to the mildness of the season the stocks are heavy, consequently even more generous reductions are made in every department than those which have characterised our previous successful sales. A M A QUESTION.-As the goods offered are all our regular high-grade reliable stocks, the question may be asked Why make such substantial reductions ? OUR REPLY.

It is not, perhaps, generally known that the much respected Registrar of the County Court of Bridgend has occupied that import- ant position for over 50 years, but this in- teresting fact did not escape his professional brethren, and a pleasing but simple cere- mony took place at Cefn Glas on Friday last, when Mr. Lewis was the recipient of a pre- sentation made by his professional brethren in the district and county. Those present included Mr. W. R. Randall, Mr. S. H. Stockwood, Alderman T. J. Jtiughes, Mr. D, T. W lillains, and Mr. Harry Lewis, the two last-named gentlemen being the hon. secretaries of the presentation move- ment. The presentation consisted of a very handsome and massive silver bowl, bear- ing the inscription Presented to Thomas Tamplin Lewis, Esq., by his professional brethren as a memento of his 50 years' service as registrar of the County Court, Bridgend: July, 1856, to July, 1906." Mr. Randall made the presentation in a few well-chosen words, referring to the uni- formly kind and friendly relations that had existed between the learned registrar and all who came in contact with him during the many years that he had held the import- ant office. lie expressed a wish for his future well being.—Mr. Lewis feelingly res- ponded. It is interesting to note that Mr. Lewis is the second registrar of the Bridgend County Court since the establishment of such courts in 1846.

OGYlORE AND GARW BILL. MEMORIAL TO THE EXAMINEE. A memorial has been presented to the Examiner of Private Bills in opposition to the Ogmore and Garw Urban District Council (Water Supply, etc.) Bill passing the Standing Orders stage. The memorial is signed by the chairman of the Llantrisant and Liantwit Fardre Rural District Council, the chairman and two other members of the Llantrisant Parish Council, and by twenty- two residents at Gilfach Goch. The allega- tions in the memorial are all directed to the one point that the notices for the Bill do not correctly state the objects of the inten- ded application to Parliament for the Bill as required by the Standing Orders." The memorialists expressly set out Clauses 22, 24, 28, 57 and 60 as all containing powers- in excess of those mentioned in the Parlia- mentary notice. These clauses deal with the purchase of mains and pipes, the power to enlarge and extend the reservoirs and waterworks belonging to the Council, the right to impond and appropriate waters, the power to dredge and deepen the bed of the River Ogwr Fach, and the power to make bye-laws with respect to the bridge proposed to be authorised by the Bill.
