Mr Cooper sa-id1 a barmaid would be better- A barman would not be (ios.rable for the class of tradte dJonc in tlie: smoke rooms. Mr Lumley Are you prepared to carry out the suggestion, of the Bench and 'have a bar- man?

Jones reported that he had collected dur- ing the past, month the sum of R149 as bel, leaving 93 10s 5d still in arrears. The Chairman remarked that the report was moat satisfactory. The Finance Committee recwmarien-ied the payment. of hills amounting to £69 lie lid, which would leave an available hakinoe of JE354 8s 3d. The recommendation was adopted. NO CHANGK IN THK DISTRICT RATE. The Clerk submitted his-annual finamcial report troen which it appeared that the rateable value of the dis- trict was £ 922i against £92:18 the primioibs year, a red-uetiixi of 91:1. The estimated erpendi-ture for the ensuing year was £ 1815, out of this sum, how-wer, Æ5S.5, which included t.h? sum of £ ■?!'< allowed by the County Ooimeil for the maintenance of the main roads, should be deducted, leaving E1230 to he provided out of the rate. A 2s Sd m the £ district rate would pro- vide JE1239 1i8 +d. The Finance Committee recommemded a prt for that amount, which was the same as the previous yew.. The expenditure during the year ending March 31st last was reported to be £ 1961 against the estimate otf 91945. The excess was acoounted for by the unfaraeen expen-ditupe of £96. which the Council were obligied to incur in sett-paving the rug market site, m conse- quence of somebody sending in an unfavorable report to the Board of Agriculture. A permy rate produoed £ 33, so this extia expenditure involved a furtlier raie of over two penoe per P. The Coumoil were to fee con- j gratulated on havion.g- maintained the rate at 2" Bd per £ The County CVxmoil had increased the aHow- anoe for the maintenance of the main roada by £ 45, and the local members of the County Council wwre to be eorsgratulatod on having secured an increased aI- Vowantie.

The remipto from all sources, including the hank 'balance at the end of the '^vrc^iiovw year, amounbecf to £ 3456 1:li 3d. and the expenditure 21961 4s, leaving an available bal- ance on March 31ot last of t496 5s 3d. Mr Albert Hughes moved the confirmation of the report, and paid a trilute to tike services of the two locaj members of tihe County Council f->r securiog an increase in the grajit foj the maintenance of the uvaiin roads. Dr. Huw Williams seconded the motion, which was carried. HACKNEY CARRIAGE LICENCES AND FARKS. All applicatjoms for hackney caJTiage Jkvances were granted.

Hughes: Did the Council in drafting the bye-law take into connrideraition the tlila in the Jooa»ity? The CtraTrnan Any change in -the bye-law would be accompanied by delay and difficulties. The Clerk It would mean an amendment of the bye-law, whioh could only be achieved by the con- firmation of the Looal Uovemn>eDt Board. Mr W. Hughea: The matter has been carefully con- L sidered by tite commi-Utee entrusted with the drawmg up of the bye-laws. The roads within the urban area, with the exception of tiie Llangeirnyw road. are very levej, so that Mir Robea'is hoe no ground of otsmp-aikKt, especially as the bye-law oan unly be enforced within t,he urban area.

EXPLORATION OF PENYCORDDYN FORTRESS. MR WILLOUGHBY GARDNER'S INTERESTING REPORT. (From a Correspondent.) Crownmg different he'ghts in the neighbour- hood of Abergele and four tar.c hill fortresses, of whtohwfche largest is that upon tho rooky hill of l'oii y Corcldyn Mawr, overlooking the Dulas Valley, situate about ten furlongi from Llan- ddulas Station, whence it is clearly observed. Some five years ago the tlicti newly inaugura- ted Abergele and District Antiquarian Associa- tion embarked upon the work of excavating the local hill forts, and selected the OTIC on l'en y- Corddyn Mawr for a first investigation. "The work was un-dertaken," it is explain* "with tJ view of revealing the true nature of its a.ncient artificial defences, and in the hope of obtaining some evidence of a definite character as to the time when and the people by whom too long derelict fortress conct.rucied and occupied." A committee of the members (including Mr Humphrey Llovd and Dr. A. B. EUiott, Llan- dd-ulag, aW Mr S. H. Harrison, Abergele, to- gether with the hon. se. (Messrs John R. Ellis and W. J. Evans) was appointed to com- plete the arra.tigenient.i. Preceding the actual work of excavation, thc advice of Professor Boyd Dawkin^ was sought. Professor Dawkira inspected the site, giving very valuable suggestions as to the course to be pursued. AN EXHAUSTIVE REPORT. Mr Willoughby Gardner, F.L.S., the well- known archaeologist, under whose supe.rinten dence the work was carried out, has new uuued a lengthy report. III this he t.re.iw minutely and exhaustively upon what the spade has re- vealed on that historic hill-top, tho explanations b?mg supplemented by a nurnoer of photographs of the primitive wailing down to a depth of several feet below the present surface, as well as a serviceable set. of diagrams and maps, etc. The book consists of over eghty well printed pages. Originally the fortifications consisted of a main rubble rampart e ghteen feet in width and eight in height, with a second rampart of simi- far width, and flanked by a ditch twelve feet wide and four feet deep. Between the two ramparts was a space ot twentv-five feet. Dry walling composed the outer side of the main rampart, the top being provided with a broad lighting platform protected by a stone parapet. To t.he fortress there were three entrances, all displaying great military and engineering skill. Flankmg the entrances there were out works, and on each sido of the gatet blocking up the grand main entrance was a rectangular guard chamber. The labour of constructing such an extensive stronghold. Mr Ga-rdner says, can only have been undertaken to provide a means of refuge for a big tribal community, a fortified a-nnexe being provided for the flocks and herds Of the period of the fortress he suggests that its construction as well as its occupation may, in the absence of any direct ev:deuce, bo as- signed to some time after the advent of the first centuay A.D. rather than earlier. RELICS UNEARTHED. Among the relics found during the excava- tions were a number of broken bones of the Geltio short-horned ox—the sole domestic ox In Britain during the neolithic, bronae and iron ages. A small fragment of glazed red ware fond in the nefuse heap on the original ground surface outside the gate in the north-west entrance has been assigned provisionally by Mr Reginald Smith, of the British Museum, as a type be- longing either to the first half of the first, cen- tury A.D., or to another period whioh lasted through two or three centuries. All the various relics have been carefully labelled, and are now preserved in eases at the Abergele County School,—the headquarters of the local Antiquarian Association. Mr Gardner's report is of more than local interest.

SHEEP WORRYING IN THE CONWAY VALLEY. DAMAGES; AGAINST TALYBONT FARMERS. INTERESTING ACTION AT THE LLAN- DUDNO COUNTY OOURT. Hugh Roberts, who was de*<c-ribecl as a farmer and gramekeaper, residing a.t Pair)-f.-t-eg, Dolgarrog, ant his son, Willi-ain Roberts, were the defendant. in an action for damages heard before Juige Mass at the Llamludno County Oount on Thursday. The plaintiffs were John Davies quarryman, of Rhiw (kwh, Talvbrwit, who claimed JE:6 15a for k 9nstnrned in eonse<iuenee of the defend- ,in& dogs having worried and killed six sh-se-p and in- jured three others; and Hugh Morris Jones, another quarryman, living at Castel!, Roewen. his claim being for 92 15a in respect of two sheep killed -and three in- jured. Mr J. W. Huiglies, Convra-y, who appeared for the plaintiffs, informed his Honour at the outeet that the part:es bad agreed to tlie amount of the damages pro- vided the oorenchnt.s'f';>Ip<J'nt;j!).ildy couU be proved. It had also been decided to take both cases together. Proceeding, Mr HIIs explained that the plaintiffs were two quarrymen who kept a number of sheep in a field rented by one, the grazing being let by him to the other. The plainiiiff*- case was that a certain num- ber of their sheep had been killed and injured by the defendants' dotsjs. The dogs were three in number. one lialf bred black retriever, a yellow sheep or col-is bi('h, and a small black spaniel bitch, the spaniel be. ing the property of William Roberts, and the other two of his father, Hugh Roberts. The field in which the sheep were kept was situated near Ardde Farm, and the young son of the tenant of that firm would give evklein-e toblle effect that be had peen the dogs after the sficep, one- of wlwih was bl-eeding from the noC"[( at tlie tame. The advocate having outlined at length, tli- character of the evidence to be called added that tne had gotxi reason to believe that he w.ol1-111 prove eubtitawtiially to his Honour the responsi- biii-ty of tlie defendants. Tlvjmag Wi!li<wns, an »nteH:genl-loo4dn« lal of 15. tJie son of David Williams, tenant of Ardde Farm, speaking in Welsh, said tli-at ofli Thursday afternoon, January 13t.h, ah-).tit ;5.30, while in the yajd at Ardcle, h- heard dogs barking from tine direetioai of CUoc. ll;>er Maepceirc.il, where the plaintiffs' sheep were kept, and hM ntother tent him to see whett was the matter. As lie proceeded to the field he aw one sheep with Wrxvt flowinjr from a wound in her neck. On gr-tling nearer he saw a black refriever dog, a yellow bAdl, a.nd a small bKick spaniel ehaisinig the sheep. He was standirsg within three yards of the dogs at. the tame, and as lie saw the dogs nearly every day as he passed TaavHeg »n his way to school he had NO DIFFICULTY IN IDENTIFYING ihem. Tlp- h<'Ø;) which he Srst saw bleeding bekunged toO Tyuci»a'r-ffordd. Mr Hughes explained Uiat no claim was made in re- an-ri»t of that particular sheep. Proceeding, t-he witnexR aaid I then went dowJJ to Ty in ha'r-ffonl.l wlkftn> he snw Moees Roberta and David Roberts, both of whran returned with him to the field. By that time, hovevej, it had become rather dank, an'I they see nothing of the dog's.
