THE REVISION COURTS. ABERGELE DISTRICT. REVISING BARRISTER GRATIFIED AT A LIGHT LIST. VOTES DISPUTED AT LLANDDULAS. A CONTRAST TO FLINTSHIRE. The Revision Court for the Abergele dis- trict was held on Monday morning by the Hon. C. Groesvenor. Mr C. C. Mott represented the Conserva- tive. and Mr Gwilvm Parry the Liberals. A WORD OF WARNING TO ASSISTANT OVERSEERS. Wihon the list for Bettws-vn-Rhoe was taken there was very little to be done, each party sustaining technical objections. The assistant overseer asked for X15 allowance instead of £ 14 lOe, as last year, saying tho Revising Barrister had promised him the larger amount this year. The Barrister: Have vou your printers' bill? The Assistant Overseer Not yet. The Barrister Well, you should h-ave that with you. How can I tell what you pay your printer, and whether you get the work done as ch eaply as possibiia.1 Remember an- other year you must produce to me your printer's bill. I will give you .£15 now, but I do not sav I will give it you next veiar. "LLANFAIR VOTES. Mr Parry sustained an objection to John Roberts, Bedwyn Isa, on the ground that he had not occupied long enough, while Mr Mott was allowed a lodger's vote for the Rev. W. LL Foulkee, LI an fair. LLANDDULAS VOTES DISPUTED. Mr Parry objected to the vote of Mark Crass, The Mill, Llanddulas, in respect of certain land, contending that he did not ix-eupy it. Mr Mott said that not only did Mr Groee P,,ciipy the land, but he actually paia .£16 jiex annum rent. The Assistant OveTseer said he knew that Mr Cross occupied' the land, but Mr Parry objected to assistant overseers giving evidence on such points. The Assistant Overseer said the had had a letter from the owner, and it was upon that information he based what he had said. Mr Mott said it was a clear ease, but un- fortunately Mr Cross was not preernt. The Barrister: I think it is a good vote, but steps should have been taken to get Mr Cross hecre. He should have come to defend his vote, and if he had done eo Mr Parry would have to see to it. If Mr Parry will Dot accept what is said I cannot help it. M-r Parry It would have been easy enough to have produced the rccerpte. Mr Mott: Unfortunately I have had no re- ply to my letter. Mr Mott then called a gentleman who was in court, and he said that Mr Cross had told oim he was tenant of the land. Mr Parry said that was not evidence. The ratebook was then produced, and fil- though Mr Cross was entered as the tenant Mr Parry still objected, and his objection wtw upheld, the Barrister remarking that the rote should have been defended. The next objection was by Mr Parry to the vote of the assistant overseer, Mr Morris Jones, and the Barrister laughingly asked Mr Parry if he would now take the word of the assistant overseer. 4 Mr Parry said he was informed that Mr Jones was not the tenant. If Mr Jones said he was he would accept his word (laughter). Mr Jones: I have been tenant for two years. The Barrister: So you withdraw your objec- tion, Mr Parry? Mr Parry: Yes. The Barrister: Mr Parry now accepts the word of an assistant overseer, and the assist- ant overseer has not even had a shot at bim (laughter). LLANDDULAS CRICKET GROUND. Mr Parry objected to the vote of the Rev. John William Thomas, curate of Llanddnlas, in respect of the cricket ground of the Lian- ddulas Club. He contended that not only was the value insufficient, but that a cricket ground could not be occupied. Mr Mott: Suppose he is responsible for the rent, .£10. He takes the field in his own name, and will have to pay the rent. The Barrister: He takes it for the Cricket Club, who repay him the rent? Mr Mott: No. He is responsible to the owner. Mr Parry: Not in his private capacity. The Barrister: It is rather difficult to say that one person can occupy a cricket fiekl. Mr Mott: He occupies it inasmuch as he is responsible for the rent. The Barrister: Which the Cricket Club re- pays to him. I do not think I can allow it, apart from insufficiency of value. In two cases from LLanddnLas, Mr Parry :withdrew his objection to husbands' votes whe.re he had contended that the wives were the tenants, the Barrister saying that the tendency of the courts woe to hold that the husband occupied for the wife, although it had been held that where a wife was owner the husband should have a specific agreement of tenancy. In the case of Maggie, Jane, and Harry Jones, Clebyn, Llyefaen, Mr Parry submitted that they were not joint occupiers. Mr Mott said the case had been agued out years ago, and their claims were allowed. Someone was entitled to a vote for the house tucd land. Mr Statter, T-landdulag said he occupied tJie adjoining house, and knew that the ladies jrere jointly responsible for what they held. Mr Parry said he was willing to allow the two ladies to be on £he list, but he objected too the gentleman. Mr Mott agreed, and said Mr Jones had a "Tote for the house which he occupied eJee- Srhere. The ladies' votes were then allowed. Mr Mott put in a claim for Mr Singleton In respect of lodgings at Arnold House School, kt Mr Parry objected, and contended that a man who was really a servant could not have lodgings in his master's house. Mr Mott urged that it had been held in that oourt and also in Cheshire that a echool- jnaster could have lodgings in his em- ployer's school-house. Mr Parry: There must be a distract agree- merft to the effect that he is a lodger. The Barrister: There is no legal objection jIO a lodger living with his employer. Mr Parry: Without a written agreementp The Barrister: It can be a verbal agree- ment. Mr Parry The point is that he is engaged in the school, and must live thexe. The Barrister: It is part of the engage- inient that he lives in the school, and he is paid so much salary and allowed lodgings as an equivalent for something else. Mr Parry: He must live in the Bchool, and if he left his employ the landlord would not allow him to continue to use the rooms. The Barrister: But the landlord could not get rid of him without notice. When he gave him notice to leave the school he wouJd Also give him notice to leave the rooms. Mr Mott: He would have at least a term's notice. I have argued this point previously, and you decided in my favour. Mr Parry I know you have decided against me previously, but I still fail to see how, in the absence of a written agreement, a lodger ton have a vote in his employer's houee. The Barrister: He has so much salary and 80 much for lodgings. I shall allow the vote, but I think there should be some evidence as $0 what is the actual agreement come to. PARTY FEELING MEANS WORK. The Assistant Overseer for Llanddulas asked for a little extra allowance, as the work [Was heavier. The Barrister: Why is it heavier? The Assistant Overseer: There is a great ileal of party feeling in LLandduias, and they 4me more particular about being on the list. The Barrister: They compel you to be moie reful ? The Assistant Overseer: Tea. Every< re Stante a vote. The Barrister: And so they make you do your duty better (laughter). I think it is a reasonable request, and I will allow you A little more. A PERFECT LIST. The Barrister had no difficulty in revising the list for Abergele and St. George as pre- gamed by Mr Mill ward, and wjten ome cam was discussed, Mr Millward showed by the correspondence he had had with the assistant overseer at Henllan that he had investigated an objection. The Barrister: Ycu take a great deal of trouble, and it is no pari of your duty to do EO. Mr Millward: I like everyone who is on the list to be there properly. The Barrister: Quite so, and when he is [ there you see that you keep him there if lie is entitled to a vote. I do not think there were many names missed from the register in Abergele at the last election. Mr Millward: Not one. Mr Mott: But some Tories were missing in Abergele (laughter). The Barrister: Perhaps they were not yet born (laughter). The Barrister: If all the lists were as well prepared as the Abergele ones there would be no work for revising barristers. Mr Millward: I want to make your work as light as possible. The Barrister: I can tell you I want some light work after the week I have had in Flintshire. Last week was the heaviest I have had since I was appointed in 1885. One day I was engaged from 9.30 until 9.45. It is a pleasure to find a light list after what I had in Flintshire, and I intend to send a circular aroun-d to the assistant overseers in that county on the matter. When tho Barrister went to make out Mr Millward's certificate he asked if what he had been allowed for years was sufficient. Mr Millward replied that the work was in- creasing, owing to the numerous changes. The Barrister I will allow you another £ 2, as I think that when a list is well done vou should be paid well for it.

CONWAY. On Wednesday afternoon, Mr Latham eon ducted a Revision Court at the Guild Hall, Con- way, when Mr Nee ,,gain represented the Con- servatives, with Mr R. O. Pritchard as local agent, and Mr Pentir Williams appeared for the Liberals. With regard to the claim of the Misses Ro- berts, Frondeg, two of whom already have votes, and two of whom claimed votes that day, Mr Nee pointed out that four people owning the property by descent as they did, were entitled to be placed on the list in Division Three. Mr Pentir Williams pointed out that they had no proof of the fact that they owned he place by descent. Mr Nee went on to say that there was no limit to the number if it was a joint tenancy as it was in the present case. Mr Latham pointed out that if it was a claim for four men, and the value of the property was under £40, that it would be considecrd insuffi- cient. Mr Pentir Williams said that according to sec- tion 23 of the Municipal Corporation Act, the claimants could be put in Division 3 with re- spect to a shop or warehouse, but not in the case of a dwelling house. They were very liberal in allowing two votes on the house. Mr Nee: They are entitled to them. The Overseer (Mr T. M. Jones) stated that there were only two names on the rate book for the house in question, and Mr Latham remarked that there was no evidence that they were joint owners, and he decided to leave only the two names on the register. Mr R. 0. Pritchard: Will you give us some rule for the future what couise to adopt with regard to claims for Division Three? Mr Latham No, I will not. Each case stands on its own merit.

LLANRWST. The Hon. C. Grosvenor sat at the Llanrwst Police Court, on Tuesday, to examine the lists of voters for the parishes of Glan Con- way, Eglwysbach, Gwytherm, Liongerniew, IJanddoget, and the Llanrwst urban and rural districts. Mr C. C. Mott, assisted by Mr Albert Hughes and Mr Davies, Glan Conway, repre- sented the Conservative party, and Mr Gwilym Parry, assisted by Mr T. R. Jones, appeared for the Liberals. In the Llansantft'raid (Glan Conway) parish first the names of Herbert G. Cheethajn, moved from the ownership list on the ground that their qualifying properties wene sold, when the names of Jesse Jones,, Mount Euryn, and Philip F. Ma.s-on were removed through death. The Liberals claimed a vote for Llewelyn A, Evans, Drug Hall. Mr Mott objected, on the ground that the claimant's father was the tenant of Drug Hall. Mr Parry explained that the son rented the shop off his father who was a contractor. The Revising Barrister: We discussed this claim last year, and it was allowed. How is it that it was not entered on the list of is it that it was not entered on the list of voters this year? The Overseer explained that it had been left out accidentally. Mr Parry Hte was qualified last year, and as nothing has transpired since to change the tenancy he is equally qualified now. The Barrister: The sole question is whether he rents the shop from his father or not. Th» Overseer said he had made no enquiries to verify that fact. The Barrister What rent does he pay ? Mr Parry Something over £ 10. I do not know the exact sum. The Barrister I am not satisfied that this claim is proved. So it will be disallowed. OBJECTION TO .LADY McLAREN. The Conservatives objected to the name of Lady Dora Elizabeth McLaren remaining on the list on the ground th-at she was a married woman. Mr Mott expressed regret at the necessity of objecting to such an ardent champion of women's suffrage (iaughter). The name was expunged. The Conservatives failed to secure a lodger's vote for Robert Williams, T.a.n'rtli.llt, and the Liberals were equally unsuccessful with the names of Evan Williams, Pennant- terraoe, and Jesse Williams, Bryntirdon. In the Llanrwst rural pariah the Conserva- tivee succeeded in placing the following names on the ownership hst:-W. Drury D. Low, for Plastirion; Captain Drury Lowe, Muria, and W. Morris Owen for Nantyglyn Isa and Bryn Mdyn Farm. They also suooecded in securing lodger's votes for Un- win Bower, Gymenog, and Charles Watte, Bron Rhelyn. In the urban district the following Con- servative lodger votes were allowed:—David Henry Roberts, Eagles Hotel; John Evan Thomas, 22, Witling-street; Frederick Samuel Baker, Mount Pleasant; and John Frederick Piper, Con way-terrace; while the Liberals were successful in their claim for Evan Jones, Haulfre. The Revising Barrister complimented the Overseer ("Mr E. M. Jones) on the accuracy of his list of voters, which he said had given him no trouble. At Gwytherin the Liberals withdrew their objection to Robert Edwards, Shop, and the Conservatives suooeeded in getting the names of Thomas W. Griffith, Llandudno, and Tho- maa O. Owen, Carrington-terrace, expunged from the list of voters.

Parry, the Liberals. There were a good number of claimants for lodgers' votec. Thomae Harry Williams, Rhdw-road, was re- fused a vote on the ground that he would not be 21 years of age until Christmas. Mr Mott: You ought to have been born six months earlier (laughter). Edward Boyle claimed! a vote, etating1 that he Shared a sitting-room with three other lodtom. They shared two bedrooms betweesn the four of them. Mr Grosvenor said that the value was suffi- cient, and this case led him to reconsider his decision in a previous case wbeee the applicant (Llewelyn Williams), who also shared a settings room and two bedrooms with three other lodlgesre had been refused a vote. Williams was re-aalled, and the vote was gran- ted to himself and fellow-lodgera with the <x- oepticm of one who was said to be under 21. Mr T. R.

USEFULNESS OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

USEFULNESS OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS. BISHOP OF ST. ASAPWS EXHORTATION. The Bishop of St. Asaph, addressing a Sun- day School conference on Saturday, said they recognised that the character of the religious teaching given in the day schools made it neces- sary that they should look more and more to the Sunday School to do work which under other conditions would be done in the day schools. The need for infusing new life into the Sunday Schools was apparent, and it had not been felt in the diocese of St. Asaph alone. It was important that they should find recruits for their band of teachers, and to enable those who were already teachers to be better equipped for their work. It was very difficult to get the bet- ter educated classes to take part in Sunday School work. It would be an excellent thing if those occupying tho highest positions in the country parishes came to the Sunday School class every Sunday. A discussion followed, in which Archdeacon Lloyd, Lady Lloyd Mostyn, Rev. J. Hamer Lewis, Diocesan Inspector, Rev. Eaton Thomas (Oswestry), Canon Williams, Rev. E. Simpson, Rev. R. Evan Jones (Newtown), Rev. L. Pryce (Ruthin), and others took part. It was decided to form a Sunday School Coun- cil for the diocese to put the schools on a more efficient basis, and to infuse new life into them.

There were also present:- Revs. Heinxy Jones (vice-chairman), J. LI. Richards, Messrs Mathew Roberts, J. Riahard-, LJ. G. Jones, D. G. Jones, and W. Evans, together with Mr T. Hughes (Clerk), and Mr H. P. Evans (Surveyor). CONDOLENCE. Oq. the motion of the Rov. J. U. Richards, seconded) by the ROT. Henry Jones, a vote. of sympathy was passed wfilh the family of the late Mr E. W. Roberts, an old member of the Coun- oil. All the naembera present spoke in eulogistic terms of the valuable services reodeted; by the deceased while a member of the Council. REAPPOINTMENT. On the motion, of the Roy, Henry Jcaes, se- conded by Mr Mathew Roberts, Mr H. P. Evans wae reappointed surveyor at a salary of £ 100 as beifore. VITAL STATISTICS. The Medical Officer of Heaitn reported that Bix births and engh-b deaths had occurred in the district duiaig the ladu month. EXPENSIVE CASES. The Local Government Board wrote enquiring what was the total cost of the outbreak of typhoid fever at a houee at Dolwyddelen, and also whether any new outbreaks had taken place. In reply to Mr D. G. Jones, the Clerk said, the case had cost £80. Mr D. G. Jones: It has been a very expensive case to the Council. A DOLWYDDKLEN ROAD.' The Surveyor repoted1 that he had examined, the Taisybenar-road, Dolwyddelen, recently re- paired by the residents interested, and stated I that it was at present in good condition. The Rev. J. Ll. Richards: The residents of the district propared the road purposely in ordex that ifcbs Council Flioultil take it over, according to the promise. made some time ago. Mr J. RidhondB said the Cwm Glasgwm road at Peomadhno also led towards several houses. but the residents interested had to maintain it at their own expense. If they adopted this road it would create a precedent, andl there was no knowing where it would land' the Council. The Chairman explained that the Clerk had looked up the Council's minutes, and had fail- ed oonio across any resolution in which the Council bewnd itself to take over the road. After some further discussion, it was decided to efer the matter to the next meeting in order to give the Clerk another opportunity to exa- mine the minutes of the Council.

THE INSANITARY BARBER.

THE INSANITARY BARBER. It is worth every barber's while (says the "Manchmter Guardian") to take notice that he is now legally obliged to use antiseptic methods, or to lake the consequences. The consequences may be rather serious, as a case at the Bury County Court on Tuesday shows. In this case neglect of antiseptic precautions meant JB50 and costs to a Radcliffe barber, who by his negli- gvno& had communicated a troublesome skin disease to a customer. There is only one way of preventing aach accidents, and that is the surgeon's way of sterilising all the instruments nsed. There need be no difficulty about keep- ing the supply of razors and brushes always surgically clean, and this case, following1 upon one or two others, allows that it is a recognised duty of the barber to do it. But shaving is not the only t-hing that the averagte barber does at some peril to Ms customers. His method of hairesitting is nearly, if not quite, as bad. A very large proportion, if not the majority, of the population suffer to a greater or less degree from a contagious disease of the scalp which, we believe, is now held to be the commonest oause of the premature greyness and baldness -so common among" men, and which is communi- cated chiefly by the barber with his communal brush and oomb. Perhaps some day somebody who can trace the beginning of, the complaint will bring an action against his barber for- damages for having madie him look too old at. thirty.

The attendanco included Lord Konyon, Lord1 Glanusk, Mrs David Davies, Mr Gnibbins, M.P., Dr. Lynn Thomas (Cardiff), Professor Jones (BclfaH University), Mr Fitzhugh (High Sheriff of Denbigh), Dr. Lar.vson (Aberdeen- shire), Miss Davies (Bangor), Dr. Davies (Wrex- ham), Mr J. E. Tom-ley (Montgomery, represent- ing the friendly societies), etc. he meeting was convenedi by Mr David Davies, and consisted of those known to be interested in the scheme of the memorial, which, roughly, aims at tJi" things—(1) education by means of lectures, demonstration, etc., m regard to oon- sumption; (2) the provision of dispensaries and trained nursea for certain areas; (3) the provision of a sanatorium or sanatoria. The estimated eoet is put at JE;250,000 to £ 500,000. Mr Davies has already -received; promises of £ 135,000 from. seven people only, and it was stated yesterday that by next week the promises would be nearly £ 150,000. Mr Davies explained that the conference was m no sense hostile to the conferenoo to be called) by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff, but was held to prepare the gfouncl and to facilitate matters at the conference. The Lord Mayor, he swid, had asked for suggestions as to the form the national memorial should! take, and the conference of that day made certain proposals and' formulated a plan of campaign. The conference on Friday was private, but Mr Da vies informed) the Press afterwards that the meotnng heard at length the) views of Dr. Law- son, of the Nordrraohn- Sanatorium, in Aberdeenshire, and after his address there was a good deal of discussion, and eventually certain proposals were agreed to, which it was dfeoided should be put forward at the conference to be called by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff. Mr David Davies was deputed to see the Lord Mayor, and! submit these proposals to him. Asked after the conference if he thought the meeting that day marked a step towards the umity of Wales on 'the scheme, Mr Davies said it was certainly a good meeting, and remarked that he should be glad to hear of any other per- sons who were interested- in tho scheme. The Lord Mayor's conference is fixed pro- visionally for Shrewsbury on September 30.

THE PROPOSED FREE ROAD FROM COLWYN BAY TO LLANDUDNO. (To the Ediitor of the "Pioneer.) Sill" -In your report, of the proceedings of the Colwyn Bay Urban Council I notice a discussion, in reference to the above matter occurred. The first step in the movement was taKen at a meet- ing of the Carnarvoiishire County Council by a notice of motion calling attention to the neces- sity of a free motor road between Cohvyn Bay and Llandkidno, given by Mr Alderman lwaxd Davies, a gentloiiLan, by the way, who is not a resident of this part of the county. Mr Davies, through atacnce from the meeting, failed to move his motion, but the matter was reported in the1 proceecfengs of the County Council. Mr T. J. Jones, of Dinarth Hall, having evidently soesn tho report, wrote to the County Council offerin.g as one having an interest in the Di- narth Toll Road to egouiate for the disposal of such interest to the County Council. Upon iiliio consideration of this le-ttar the Coun- oil appointed three of its members—Messrs Raynes, Robert Raberte, and W. O. Wilfia.-m- to interview Mr Joneti and) any other interested parties, to go furiheir into the matter, and to report thereon. Some or all of these gentlemen had several interviews with Mr Jones and one with Mr Horto-n, a joint owner, but no terms were obtained for the transference of the road. At the cnteryiew with Mr Hosrton somo further particulars were -obtaiied with regard to the proposed alternate road-the Marine-road. In he before my report was sub- mi tted, by the gent'emen named, the larger fpiertion of approaching1 the Imperial Road Board for a griwrt was mooted. I am, more, or tees, pcirsonaUy responsible for taking the initia- 'tive in this movemeut by inierriewtng vlio chair- man. of .the LlaindlUcfco Urban Council, with the. r ecu It tha.t a jo;nt committee of representatives of the Coiwyai Bay, Lland"uAj», Pcnrhyn Par- ish, and Oowway Rural s, wi'i:.h the gentlerno-n already appointed, in the other mat- ter by Ae Camarvcmshke County Council, were oalled, together. It is true that no representa- tives of the Denbigiasbie County Cotmcil were invited!, because there had been no opportunity, but I am informod that some, if not all, of tto representatives of Coibwyn Bay on that Council were invitod, and did a wand. It is well-known that two schemes—the Mariae-trcad) and the Dmarth-roa/f—were repor- tOO upon by the surveyors asid consicikred by the joint committee. It is true also that the re- presentatives of Llandudno, for various valid and honourable reasons, w-ore unanimous in fa- vour of the Maitne-road scheme, but the com- mittee was not unanimous in favour of either sdhemc. Smoe the Carnarvoaiahire County Count- cil was UBTgeirtly ajid specially calted on the 20th August to caoeiidtea* apiplioaicons, it was ulti- mately resolved by the committee, to submit the two achesnea for their consideration. The portion, within the county of Cibrnarvon was esfrinatedi to cost as follows:—Scheme No. 1, Manne-road', £ 4,330; eeherne No. 2, Dmarth Toll-road, £ 5,229. The of Carnar- vonshire surveyors unanimously adoptedl sdheme No. 1, their chief reasons being that, as regards scheme No. 1, the land necessary for widening, etc., was offered free of cost., and the stones Ion necessary for construction were also offered free of cost, while, as regards scheme No. 2, a, sum of E4,000 was quote-dt w the value of the pur- chase of the TotJ The committee1 of the Coun- oil and the Council itself unanimously oon- firmedl the decision of the conference of sur- veyors, a.nd when I state that the applications considered; by them amounted to the, estimated valuo of £ -25,000, and that the scheme in question covered two-thirds of the estimated value of the schemes adopted, to be included in the applica- tion to the Road) Board-, it wull be seen, how very favourable our application was considered Now, I claim that Llandudno kept faith impli- citly; with the Joint Committee in submitting the two schemes to their County Council, and that the said County Council had1 their bona- fide reasons for adopting one ■ scheme- in pre- fCTcmce to the other. If any fault has been com- mit.ted it us that the Carnarvonshire Council did, without consultation with Denbighshire, approve of one scheme ill. preference, to the other, but they did zo under the impression that prompt action was of vital importance. It is surely beside the question and unkind to insinuate that "the matter was being run by Lland'udlno and a clique of that Council." I am not a member' of the- Llandudno Council, ax.,Li I am iree to assert that, there is no founiation whatsoever for any »uch insinuations. In fact, I am prepared to assert even, yet the Lland-udno Council would be prepared, rather than jeopardise the movement, to accept either scheme, and I wouldl go even further, and state my conviction that the Carnarvonshire County Council wouJd be prepared to discuss the whole matter with Denbighshire or to submit the two schemes to the consideration and selection of the Road Boardl. I am pleased to note that the Colwyn Bay Council are convinced of tho necessity and im- portance of having the proposed road construc- ted. The Road Board1 will undoubtedly give favourable consideration, if not preference, to any scheme which will facilitate motor traffic, and no one can possibly mgg"t but that the opening otf such a road wou!<& "hot benefit Colwyn Bay and the intermediate district quite, as much as it would Llandudno. I would not presume to enter into the argu- ment for or against either scheme within the area of Ocdwyn Bay distriotl and the county of Denbigh, knowing full well that the matter will have the most serious andl exhaustive considteTa- tion of both authorities, but I would point out that it is a matter mostly fox the maintaining of roads which have already, or can be, constructed under the Ptrivaro Street Improvement Act.—I am, eto., JOHN OWEN. Avallon, Llandudno.
