PRESTATYN. Prestatyn (writes a correspondent in the "Manchester Guardian") seems to many tour- ists to mark the real boundary between Eng- land and Wales, although it is actually a county's breadth within the geographical border. There is a reference that bears this out in Mr Watts-Dunton's "Aylwin," where someone expresses joy on seeing at Prestatyn the first of the wliite-washed cottages of Wales. Certainly, journeying- from England, it is not until one has got beyond the indus- trialism of the English plate-names east of Prestatyn that one is conscious of Cymric at- mosphere. And at one time Prestatyn really did mark the ancielit boundary. Offa's Dyke undoubtedly ran to the sea hereabouts, and Prestatyn (which, like Preston, means priest- town) is only one of several names in the neighbourhood that remain relics of the old period of Saxon domination. The Cymricifr- ing has been complete, however, resulting in the case of Prestatyn even in the shifting of the accent from the first to the penultimate syllabus.

COLWYN BAY COUNCIL. LOCAL OOUNTX COURT SITTINGS. PROVISIONAL ORDER FOR ADDITIONAL BORROWING POWERS. PROPOSED SUBWAY AT GLANYDON CROSSING. Mr David: Gamble, J.P., presided over the monthly meeting of this Council on Tuesday. There were adso present: Messrs Hugth Davies, Wm. Davies, T. R. Davies, T. Hoskins, T. E. Purdy, G. Clare, Samuel Joaiea, Edward Alien, D. O. Wiliiaans, Hugh Hughe3, George Bevan, Joseph Dicken, W. Greenfield, T. H. Morgan, with the Clerk (Mr J&s. Ampihlett).. 'the Assis- tant Oierk and Accountant (Mr Jos. H. Roberts), ther Engineer (Mr Wm. Jones, M.Inst.C.E.), the Sanitary Inspector (Mr W. Henry Jones), and the Collector (Mr J. Lewis Jones). COLWYN BAY-LLANDUDNO ROAD. A letter was read from the CSerk to the Llan- drad'no Urban, District Council referring to the steps which are being taken to obtain free read oonnmunica-tion betweun Lladudno and Colw-yn Bay, and inviting four representatives from this authority to a meeting at the Rhos Golf ] Iou?o to consxier the scheme which was to be the sub- ject of an application, to the Road! Board for a grant. The following members, of the Counoiil were requested to 0 attend the meeting Moessrs Dickon, Morgan, Bovaii and Samuel Jones. The question was subsequently disou;ised by the Council in committee. SURFACE WATER A NUISANCE. Mr J. M. Porter, on behalf of Pwilycrochan Hotel, Ltd., wrote calling attention to the state of Pwilycrochan Avenue from Sycamores to the Old Highway and to the damage done by the now of surface water. The same condition of tihmgti, he added, existed! at the top of King's-road, and he hoped these matters would be remedied. MR WM. DAVIES urg-ed the Coucil to attend 'to the matter at omce because it was becoming expensive to pump the surface water carried away in tfhat manner. He thought the special committee appointed to deal v.itii the (surface water question in general should take immediate steps. The CHAIRMAN: The committee will take notice of that, Mr Davies. WATER IN THE CEMETERY. MR WM. DAVIES at a later stage called at- tentiQJ11 to the serious nuisance caused by water in the cemetery. There were nuimerous com- plaints that the wiater after a heavy faU of rain ran into the graves; indeed in some parts of the ground the bodies were floating in the water, and though it might make little difference; to the deceased—(laughter)—it was a matter that nvuch affected the feelings of surviving relatives. Seine of tlie members laughed, but if some of their friendls were concerned they would find! it was no laughing matter. To think tSiafc tihe body of his own poor wife, for instance, should be in such a place caused him reaJ grief, .Id his was only one' of many eases. It would not cost pot-^cibly more than JE5 to dto the necessary drain- mg, ain-d he moved that that work be done. ldCKEN seconded. The SURVEYOii viointed out that the work couild not ba done at the low figure suggested by Mr Davies becau.se' the extension of the sewer from the road for a considerable distance would be involved. MR DAVIES withdrew his original motion and moved that the matter be referred to the General Purposes Committee, the surveyor to report upon the neoesary work. PROVISIONAL ORDER TO CLEAR OFF A LOAN. In moving the adoption of the Finance Com- mittee MR GEORGE BEVAN (chairman of the committee) reported tihat a sub-committee, after going into the whole question thoroughly, were now recxanmending the Council to approach the Local Goverrameint Beard with the object of prevailing upon them to issue a provisional order giving the Council additional power to borrow £ 4,300 oai account of the Promenade works of JB8000 on account of the sewertgi, work, both sums lha v ing been. spent in oxcess of the amount originally sanctioned by the Board. He moved' that the committee's reoommendation be adioped. MR HUGH HUGHES seconded. In answer to Mr Purdy, Mr BEVAN said the £ 4,500 had been already speind en buildUng tlie promenade sea. wall in front of Cam bonne ro Lod'ge. The committee's object was to raise the money in order to clear off the overdiait at tlie bank. The motion was carried mean oon. DEATH-RATE 4 PER 1000. The Medical Officer of Health reported (hat the deaths in the district during iw, y nnimbered eight (including three visitors), making a death-rate of 4 per 1000 of the popula- tion as compared with 5.8 per 1000 for tlie cor- responding period last year. COUNTY COURT FOR COLWYN BAY. Mr R. S. Oiamberkiin (registrar of the Llan- dudno and Conway County Court) wrote for- warding a copy of the following letter from the Treasury Chambers:—"With reference to pre- vious correspondence I am directed. by the Lords CoTTHnifBicners of His Majesty's Treasury to state that they aiiivc informed1 the Lord. Ghan- eelilor that in the event of his lordship decidiw to move for an order in Council authorising SItting8 of the County Court at Oolwyn. Bay, and to make an orderl for the opening of a County Court Office there on one day of the week, their lordships will offer no objection on the under- standing that the local authority wiN provide the necessary accommodation rent free, that the oosla oif fire, tight and ckgrvmg will not exceed 10s per sitting of the court a-ridthut the expenses of yourcelf and your staff will bo limited to £25 per annum." The CLERK addlt,d that Mr Chamberlain 1100 agreed to accept the terms suggested and it would be obvious to anyone tlh&t in doing so the Registrar had acted most magiianlmouaiy and generously, for it would involve sending two uierks to Colwyn Bay ojie day every week to transact the business to be done in tihe new county court office. Mr Chamberlain's original estimate was in fact dlouble the amount, but in order to help forward the movement that Col- wyn Bay should have its own court sittings the Registrar had sacrificed' the (money and rendered every possible help to bring the matter about, (hear, hear). A teiegrain had subsequently been received stating that the order in council had been made since the dispatch of the letter and the local county court offioe. will be opened every [ week from October 7th next. It was not y«t known whem the first sitting of tihe court would' be held, bccaaiso the Judge arranged' his list of sittings every half-year but he would no doubt place Colwyn Bay on the next list. The courts would be hAd at Colwyn Bay alternaieiy with those of Uandtudmo and Conway. A great deal of the success of the movement was of course due to 'the local member of Parliament—(Sir J Herbert Roberts)—who had oertainlv rendered yeoman service an oonncscticai with it. He had been airoost sitting on the Teasury OSioe steps for a long period (bear, bear and laughter). Sir Herbert told him on the previous Saturday that he "was exceedingly glad tlio movearaent had at iaet proved' sruoceeafod. It had been a most difficult task to accomplish from the commence- ment to prevail upon the Tceasairy to expand the B25 or £ 30 a year which woiild provido the sit- tings at Oolwyn Bay. He thought a very warm vote of thanks was due to Sir J. Herbert Roberts for his exoelknt help in the matter (hear, hear). Mr GEORGE BE VAN sai-d he had the great- -61 est poasibla ploaisure in proposing that tlie hearty and grate ltd than of the Council be voted Sir Herbert Roberts for the very great trouble he had' taken over that matter. During* his (the speaker's) long of local administration he had always found Sir Herbert most willing and' ajixious to do wliat he oould1 to assist Colwyn Bay and the services he had most willingly ren- dered at various times during the last eighteen years b been exceedingly valuable (hear, hear). MR J. DIOKEN seconded, and said they as members of the Council had had ample opportu- nities elf appreciating what Sir Herbert had: done in and out of Parliament for the welfare of the district. There was no constituency throughout Nort.h Wales better blessed in its member in that respect, than West Denbighshire (hear, hear). The motion was carried! with a cheer. Qnf the motion of MR DICKEN, secondled by the Chairman, both of -whom spoke in grateful terms of the share Mr R. S. Chamberlain had had in the matter, cordial thanks were ako voted the Registrar. MOTOR CARS ON HIRE. Messrs David Jones and Co., of the Colwyn Bay Garage and Motor Works, wrote apply- ing for licences for two motor cars to ply for hire from a public stand. MR PURDY remarked that permits had been already granted for two motor vehicles to Messrs Francis and Sons, of the Mews, but a# the vehicles had not made their ap- pearsnoe, it was for the Council to say what should be done now. MR WM. DAVIES: Mr David Jones has been a resident and ratepayer in this town for very many years, and his application should not be refused, when we have granted licences to another firm. The application was granted, a committee being asked, at the suggestion of Mr Hugh liugix-es, to take into consideration the a.l- location of the vehicles to various stands in view of the crowded character of the ptarid opposite Messrs David Jones3 place of busi- niass. PUBLIC AMBULANCES. 'l'.he CLERK reported tihe receipt of a letter from Mrs Venables Williams, widow of the late Vicar of Colwyn Bay, inviting the Council's acceptance of a hand ambulance litter, which she offered to the town under circumstances reported in the "Pioneer" last week. MR GEORGE BEVAN moved that the Council gratefully accept the generous gift, and remarked that during Mrs Venables Wil- liams' residence in Oolwyn Bay they had seen many evidences of her kindness and generosity. He hoped that the horse ambu- lance, subscriptions for which were now being collected, would also become an accomplished fact. MR PURDY seconded, and remarked that ith with reference to the horse ambulance move- ment, which had been initiated at the in- stance of the Chairman and the Council, he felt confident it would meet with the success it deserved (hear, hear). The motion was carried unanimously. AN INTELLIGENT SUFFRAGETTE. A branch of the Women's Freedom Deaguo -apl)ii,ed for permission to hold public meet- iugs on the shore, such as had 1wen held last year, with the object of propagating the principles of the League. MR ALLEN asked whether any report could be ootainod concerning the behaviour of the visitors last year? The CLERK said no complaints had been received. MR BEVAIJ remarked that he attended one of the meetings, at which he had been de- lighted with the skill with, which a lady speaker answered questions, and the extreme good temper she showed, and the intelligent, diahuguiidied way in which she debated her subject—(hear, hear, and laughter),-no less than by the amusing manner in which &he retorted to impertinent questions put to her (laughter). Mli HUGH HUGHES: They will be on the shingle, I pre.sume? (laughter). The application was granted. When an application for permission to con- duet evangelistic meetings on the shore at Old Colwyn was received, Mr Dicken, in mov- ing that it be refused, remarked, "Wo have quite enough of this sort of thing now" (laughter). MR HOSKINS seconded, and this was car- ried. THE CORONATION. The Llandudno Council wrote urging the Council to support them in taking steps to prevail upon the authorities to arrange the Coronation (ceremony next year during the early part of June, so that the business at seaside and health resorts be not interfered with. The CLERK suggested that the latter part of the paragraph be omitted, because it might unwittingly hurt the feelings of those concerned. MR T. H. MORGAN proposed the approval of the letter, with the omission suggested by the Clerk. MR PURDY pointed out that it would be disastrous to have the ceremony conducted during the first week in June, because that would bo Whit-week, the most popular 1^11- day time in Lancashire. MR ALLEN said he thought it imperti- nent to make the suggestion mentioned in the letter. MR MORGAN: Surely, to call a resolution like that impertinent is out of place. MR ALLEN: What I mean to say is that it is not pertinent (laughter). People will not be guided in such a matter by a resolu- tion such ae that. I agree with Mr Purdy that the first week would be .a very bad time for it. During Whit-week we want tlie peo- ploe of Lancashire to comie here rather than go to London. I move that we take no such steps. MR PURDY seconded. MR BEVAN pointed out that if the Coro- nation took place during Whit-week they ecujd not possibly expect people to leave their own towns and. villagoo, because the festivities would be general throughout the country. On a division, Mr Morgan's motion was carried by six votes to four. GLANYDON CROSSING: PROPOSED SUBWAY. The London and North-Western Railway Company wrote stating they proposed making a subway under what is now known as the Glanydcn Crossing, and to divert the public path tl-iroitgh the subway. They asked the Council to support their request for Parlia- mentary powers in the matter. The letter was referred to committee, the CLERK observing that the question deserved careful consideration. AN ELECTRICIAN'S PROTEST. MR CARTER, electrical engineer, etc., Col- wyn Bay, wrote protesting against the Coun- cil's decision to furnish electric light power for the National Eisteddfod pavilion. In answer to MR ALLEN, The CHAIRMAN said that so far as 00 could see the Council's action was perfectly in order. It was true there was all attempt to pass a Bill through Parliament governing- the action of local authorities in doing such work, but so far nobody seemed to know whether it was right or wrong work, and until the thing was settled, he thought they were quite justified in doing what other Cor- porations did (hear, hear). The CLERK explained that lighting of the Eisteddfod pavilion was oniy a temporary thing carried out more as a charitable -or than anything else. The Eisteddfod had had been promoted in Colwyn Bay at the direct request of the Council, and their action in that matter cou'd not be questioned at all. MR DICKEN said the Council would not make a penny out of the lighting. MR BEVAN And this is our Eisteddfod, Mr Chairman (laughter, and hear, hear). MR WM. DAVIES: W-e laid down. a cable for the Pierrots, and nobody anything about it, and the Eisteddfod is surely Aore important than the Pierrots (laughter). The letter was left on the table. NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. In view of the Eisteddfod it was resolved I to hold the next meeting of the CcwBticil on I September 6th, rather than the 13th Sep- tember. ANTHRACITE COAL CONTRACT. The Clerk presented twelve quotations for the supply of 500 tons of c-eai for the electricjty works for the ensuing twelve months, and it waa resolved that a trial truck load be obtaikied of the ooaiis offered by Mea.-rs T. Bracketone and Co., and Messrs Warburtcn and Crimes at the prioe of 12s lOd and 12s 7d per ton respectively. AT THE COUNCIL'S EXPENSE. Tlie question of laying a ne'.v connection for the water supply to tho laundry at Groes, re- ferre.d to at the last Council meeting, wap again under consideration, and it was reported that Mr J. Berth Jones and the Surveygpr had had an in- terview with Mr Haley. A letter was read from Mr Haley stating that he could net agree to tho proposal that he should be required to pay half the ooat of the work. The Council r.35{)I.ved in the special circum- stances tha-t the work be carried out at their own experre. QUARRELSOME PORTERS. Inspector J. Smith oompiained of quarrel- some conduct on the part of two town porters, both of whom, he said, used abscena ^snguogo cn the stand.- while one wa; under the intflu- enoe of drink. A cum.mitte.s recommended that the licences held by the two. porters be forthwith revoked. The two riHTi now wrote a<ppeairng for the Count-Li's reconsideration, but their request was in vain. WATER SUPPLY. It was reported that. the water supply of the district bad been satisfactorily maintained dur- ing the month, and that the high level reservoir I -as practically full. Night inspections bad bean undertaken in order to more effectually locate the 'eaksges and waste of water, and 54 cases had bean found aria wtt-ended to. I TRAMWAY AVENUE SEWER. The Surveyor reported that the work of *#5- l aying a portion of this sewer hadi b^en taken in liand, and, in company with the Chanrmaji of the Sanitary Committee (Mr J. Berth Jones), the first section had been d, tested with water, and found satisfactory. Further, Chat the upper portion would be tested in course of the pcesent week. The Surveyor further reported that in ao- cordance with instructions he had arranged to open down to tlie remaining length of the sewer in two or three places, bout the work had not been commenced, Mr Horton dieelining to oon- sent thereto. A letter from Mr Horton to the surveyor was read.

SURFACE W AT&R.—At the Conway Rural District Council meeting, on Friday, ti*. Cferk reported the receipt of a leiter from the Uys- faeo Parish Council conxplainatig of certain sur- face water on the path at PenraaeorhoB. It was decided to inform the Par-iiah Council that it was their duty to see to the naasa-no^. OOID- pisuined of,, tlie Rural District Council uinder- t.a king to approve of wha.t work was directly at- tributable to them.

and them take an undue advantage of the privi- lege and come down unaware on a former enemy, and plunder his goodfcj and run back to their safety, tme aught, This would irritate such an imperious spirit as that of Meredith ap Ieu- an, and induce him to make a special attack on Yspytty. But it can be very reasonably be- lieved that the right of sanctuary did not mate Yspytty a veritab'c of robbers, as Sir John suggests. It was not the custom of those ages to abuse church ordnances in that manner. There were other piacei at that time which had this right of sanctuary, and we do not read of its being abused in those places.. Why would it be a-bufod in Yspytt-y then? We fear it wae a personal enjnLty ag'aiiifet tlie strength, and ad- vajii^g'o given by the sanctuary to his enemies that caused Meredith to hand down to his great, grandson this prejudice against Yspytty. Arch- deacon Thomas sapporta hi contention that Sir John Wynne is not a fair witness regarding this matter, in those* words "Sir John profited large- ly by the tactics of hiis ancestor Meredith ap Ieuan, who, during the Wars of the Rcxxa, had possessed him.-elf of all the country round." Sir John Wynne, be it remembered, is the only authority for the tradition of Yspytty outlawry.
