ROMAN MILESTONES IN NORTH…
ROMAN MILESTONES IN NORTH WALES. THE SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS MILLIARY AT LLANFAIRFECHAN. (From a Correspondent). I read with much interest itihe report, m last week's (issue of the Llandudno Field Club's visit to Llanfairfeclhan, with Mr Be- zant Lowe's Temarks upon the HomaTi jmlo- ston-os in the distiraet. It may interest your Llawfairf cohan readers to read the following remarks by Dr. Collnng- wood Bruce, of Newcastle, witih reference to til1.e Septimiuis Severus Milliary, exiled from fiin old newspaper cutting. THE INSCRIPTION. Dr. Bruce states that tMs milestone bears the names of Septiiinius Sever us and his t Wo Sons, the •inscription 'being as follows IMPP CAE LSEP. SEYETIYS PP. ET. MAVR ANTONINYS AVGGET P. 'which, line Idne, means: The Emperor Caesar Lucius Septimius Severus, Father of his Country, amd Marcus Aurcllius Antoninus Augasiti and Publius (Sep. Get a). Wri,ting to Dr. Bruce, informing h'im of the discovery of this stone, Mr Barber, of Pen'r apt., Bangor, eaid:—"The inscription is copied from a cylindrical grit atone, corres- ponding with the .former miliiary (i.e., the one found at Rhdwian Uchatf), but cut in two imm-ediatdy under the leitteriing. It has just been discovered in the same fkild as the for- In-or, and not many yards from its burying place. This new discovery was buried also, and deep enough to escape the plough." DR. BRUCE'S INTERESTING RE- MARKS. This stor,n-, Dr. Bruce points out, has evi- dently originally borne the names of Septilm- ius Severus and his two sons. His eldest son "bore the name of Mare us Aurerius Antoninus ("the philosopher," as he was surnamcd, and 1\'ho -lie-fit inj has "Meditations" a record of his Teligious and moral puinciplesj, but lie was commonly called Caracalla. His youngter goai Was named Publius Septimius Get a. This milestene has ,b0cm put up after CaracalLa- had been asiroeiated wiitih his'fa.'L.h'er in the empiire, but before Get a wag. It will be dbSlened that after the names of Severus and Caracal1 la we have the letters A V G G, ttignifying t'hiat lib'f-.y both iheld the ofiBce of Augnrst'iis. If Get a had then been Augustus, his name would have preceded these leltterrs, and the read'ilng "would probably have boec-u A V G G G; but as lit follows them, and tjhere esie ornly tw'o 6's, we may cosiclude that he only heJd the position of Caesar ait the time this milestone •was erected. These circumstamices give us tihe comparative date of the miildary. CTr.-t, ea1J.a was declared Augustus A."D. 198; Getia received the title of Augustus A.D. 209. The date of the stone, therrfore, must be prior to the year A.D. 209. Now, as Severus end his two skrns came to Britain in the year A.D. 208, w-o may readily suppose Ithat this stone Was erected shortly after their arrival. This tml.es.tone lias evidently been, broken dn the mliddie. It has a diameter of one foot four iiieilies, but its "height is only (irrespective of cb fragme.nt of its base) one foot el-evcn indues. It wiLl be observed, too, that we have only a single Latter, P, of tihe name of G-eta-Publdus Septimius Geta. It is ■Weil-known that Caracalla hated his broither Geta, and that very ishortlly after their re- turn to Rome, on too death of their father, Caracalla had his ^brother put to deaitih. But this did not satisfy him. A decree was issued ordaining that Geta's name eihould be struck out of all the memorials of the empire. It "was Struck out of the eaitabiLature Vhich sur- mounts the arch df Sieverus at Rome. In obliterating tho name upon the miHesttone to-w under our consideration, it da not impos- sible that too much violence was used, and Miait the cylindjeir was broken in 'two. I can- not help remarking, in conclusion, how strongly itiheae tAones jpoinit to the dmsportanoe "vvfiiicih the rulers of the Roman Empire at- tached to this portion of Britain. It would eeem as if the mighty Empemrb- Haclxizu and Severus—could not advamoe to ithe sub- jugation of the northern parts of Britt-ain they had Been that aU Was safe an iW ales.

FIFTY YEARS AGO. (Extract from the "North Wales Chronicle," November 3rd, 1860). DEATH OF THE EARL OF DUNDCNALD. Yesterday, tho Earl of DumdiOsiaM died at his residence, Quean'e-troad, Kensington. The noble carl, better known to hiis contempor- aries, as he will be t-o posfceiriity, as L{)tcd Cochrane, than by has mors exalted title, was the eldest of six sons of Archibald, the aintlh Earl of DrauloTLaCd, cad was born De- cember 14th, 1775, so that he had nearly com- plated his 85th year. He cantered the Navy at a very early age, being entered on the books of the "Vc,uviiis," them comm.and.ed by his nude, t,110 Hon. AiLesaadieir Ingiis Coeth- Tane. He diid not go to Ðüa, however, tell 1793. To Ti.airrate his ad vent-arcs tund exploits during the war i-o-iild be to repeat iniucih of tSie NavaJ history of the time. In the early part of 1814, he was implicated in eoime frauds committed on the Stock Exchange, which led to his expulsion from the Honse of Commons, to whiieh. the electors of Westmin- ster had rcturn-ed him; to his degradation as a Knight of the Batill, to his imprisoninent fcir twelve motntihs, to his paying a fkie of £500, sSvi to the removal of his amine from the -it avy iisst. His lordship was, inndout'tedly, the dup) of some desLgming knaves, Ijnifc tihe elec- 4 tors of Westminster believed that he was tike victim of political treachery; they, therefore, re-elected him, and his fiiaa was defrayed by a penny s-u bs.criptio.TJ. He t/ubeoquently wefot asruto th)3 service of Chili, and then Brazil, amd was ultimately restored to his namk in tlho Navy. He became Rear-Adim\ral, May 2nd, 1832; Vice-Admiral, November 23rd, 18-ii and Admiral, March 24th, 1851.

...:,.-FORMER ANGLESEY SHERIFFS.
FORMER ANGLESEY SHERIFFS. (Continued.) TREVOR AND TRESCAWEN (Anglesea.) This old"Anglesea. family is derived from Win. Pritchard, of Trevor, whose son, Richard Tho- mas, of Trevor, left numerous descendonts. Thomas Pritchard, the eldest son of the. latter, was ancestor of the Thomas, of Trervor, the Vivians, and others. Elizabeth Pritdhard, the eldest daughter, married a Parry, of Pendref, an mncient family, descendedl from Owain Gwy- nedd (see Glangwna). Their grand-daughter, Elspeth Parry, was mother to Wm. Eliae, The Abbey, Llanrwst., and others. One daughter married a Dryhurst, of Carrog-, another Joihn Davies, of Llanelian, ancestor of the Williams, of Trearddu, a descendent of whom was High Sheriff in 1888, and another n-iarried, a Jones, of Plas Llandegfan, ancestor of the Lewis, of Ban- gor. Wm. Pritchard, of T rosea wen, second ron, married an Owen, of the old family of Sybylldir, The son William was High Sheriff in 1786, and a daughter married Ed. Lloyd, heir of Cefn Meuadog, which latter family is now represented by Sir W. W. Wynn, of Wynnstay, and the Godsals of Iseoed Park. The son of William (High Sheriff) married a Moulsdale, of Bryn Dvffrylll, and is ancestor of the pres-nt family of Treseawen. The above family inter-married) with the Pantons, Gorings, Vivians, tihe LloydB, of Maes-y-Porth, Parry's, of Pendref, the Lewis, of Plas Llanddyfnan, Hampton Lewis, of Ilen- Ilys, and Hugtes, of Trefnant ddu, Cefn Meir- iadog, Br an as Isaf, etc. The above facta are quoted from the private. MSS of Thomas Elias, Mrs J. E. Griffith, Bryn Dinas, Bangor, the Rector of Llansadwrn, and others. GARREGLWYD. This family is a branch of the ancient hotusa of CbcSiwellan, and derives its descent from Sir Wm. Griffith, Chamberlain of North Wales. The immediate ancestor of Sir Wm. Griffith was Edmyfed Fyoham., commonly called the "Father of alj Wales," oo numerous are hisi descendents. Lineally dterived from Edmyfed was Gruffydd ap Hulin, who married the heiress of Codhwillan, leaving a son, GA-ilym, Lord of Peairhym, and Oochwillan. The eldest son of the latter was Bleddyn, ancestor of the Aforgaiis, of Golden Grove, who represent the senior branch of both the houses of Penrhyn and Cochwillan. The second! son, Gruffydd, Lord of Penrhyn, and Creuddym, married a daughter of the house of Penmynydd, and left three eons—Robert, the eldest, had Oochwillan, and was ancestor of many families, viz., that of Penrhyn, extinct so far as blood is concerned (the Pennants being of the Downing family), the Williams, of Llan- llechid, Meilionydd, Pwllcrochan, Marie, and Vaenol (extinct), Arianws, Brynmor, Glyn, Pen- maenmawr (represented by presemt family). Archbishop Williams of York was of this sept. The second eon, Gwilym ap Gruifydd, was Lord of Penriiyn in 1395. He married a Stanley of Hooton. Their son, Wm. Vychan, of Penrhyn, Chamberlain of North Wales, married the heiress of Richard Dalton. Their son, Wm. Vyohan. Chamberlain of North Wales, married the daughter of Sir Wm. Troutbeck (by his wife the daughter to Thomas Lord Stanley), leaving- Sir Wm. Griffith, of Penrhyn, CChamber lain of North; Wales, ancestor of the Griffiths, of Penrhyn. This family is extinct as I observed, the pro- perty passing by bequest into the ancestors of the present family (Pesffliants, of Bagillt and Holywell). Besides Sir Wm. Griffith, there was another son, Edmund, ancestor of the family or Garreglwyd. One of the latter was Bishop of St. Asaph, another Chancellor of both dioceses and MLaster of the Rolls for Wales, and Master in Chancery in 163 L The immediate descendent of the above married a Miss Trygarn, of Plas Berw, representative of the Hollands, of Berw, Anglesea. One of the numerous branches of the Hollands scattered over North Wales (see Holland pedigree), and was ancestor of the present family. TRYSGLWYN. Llewelyn, of Bodewryd, brother to Hwlkyn, 1398, and son to Howel ap Iorwerth Ddu, was descended from Hwfa ap Cynddelw Lord of Llys Llivon in Mon, chief of one of the noble tribes of Gwynedd. The above Llewelyn married Mailt, a descendent of Llowarch ap Bran, Lord of Cwm- mwd Menai, and left a son, heir, viz., Howel "Y Bharf," of Bodewryd. This latter, by his wile Mailt daughter of Rhys ap Ieuan. descended from Collwyn ap Tangno, Lord of Eivionydd and Ardudwy, left a son, Iorwerth. Iorwerth left numerous progeny, and from Howel, the eldest son, came the Lewys, of Trysglwyn, This ancient family intermarried with the Con- ways, the Woods, of Llangwyfan, Jones, of Wern, Mostyns, of Bodowyr, and other numerous and distinguished houses. MWSOGLEN. This ancient family derived from Llowarch ap Bran, Lord of Cwmmwd Menai, chief of one of the noble tribes of North Wales. Llywareh left a son, Iorwerth, whoso son, Maredydd ap Tor. werth, married Angharad, daughter and EOI-3 heires-; of Howel ap Maredydd ap Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, Prince of Powys. His son Goronwy married Adlaes, daughter to Goronwy ap Ed- nyfed Fychan (see Cochwillan), Lord of Trev Cast-ell, Penmynydd Arddveiniog, and Tref Gayan. From the marriage came eventually Hugh Wynn, of Mwssoglen, High Sheriff for Anglesea in 1621, who married Anne Madryn, of Madryn. The estate went eventually into the Bodeon family through marriage; finally into the family of Owens, of Oviellon, though now alienated. Hugh Wynn was a cousin of 0. wryrm, of Glascoed, whose daughter, Gacnor, married into the Griffiths, of Plas Llanddyfnan (sec their pedigree). BODORGAN (MEYRICK). This ancient sept came from Cadavael yr Ynad, Lord of Cydewain, and Judge of the Court of Powys, held at Dinas Bran. Sixth from the above Cadavael was Einion Saia, Jure Uxoris, of Bodorgan, Usher of the Palace of Sheen (Richmond), temp Henry* VI. His grandson, Llewelyn, fought at the Battle of Bos- worth, and married Angharad, a descendent of Owain Gwynedd. Their son, Meirig, of Bodor- gan, was one of the guard to Henry VIII. He married Margaret, of Caer Geiiiog, descended f.rom Tarddur, Lord of Penrhyn, and left Richard, of Bodorgan (who married Jane, daughter to Llewelyn ap Rhys, of the house of Presaddfed), Rowland, Bishop of Bangor, Reignallt Meirig, John Meirig, and Edmund Meirig, ancestor of the Meyricks, of Ucheldref.

While a st-udent at Cardiff he passed the preliminary scientific exa- mination of the University of London in the first division, and afterwards passed the intermediate M.B. and B.S. examinations of the same Univer- sity.

CHURCH RESTORATION AT MOLD.—On Friday evening, at the Town Hall, a musical and dramatic entertainment was held in aid of the Church Building Fund. The prime mover in the affair is said to have been Mr Harry W. Buddi- com, who at the outset called to his aid the Hon. Mrs Laurence Brodrick, with the result that the crowded audience was enabled to spend an even- ing both pleasant and profitable. Part I. was of a musical character, and was sustained by Mrs Cecil Ward, Miss Charlton, Miss Beatrice Chap- man, and Messrs Leopold Stewart, Felix Rowe, and Richard Jack, tho accompanists being the Hon. Mrs Laurence Brodrick, Miss Vanda Char', ton and Mr Edward Giles. To the lover of high- class music, every item in this portion of the programme proved a source of keen enjoyment. There was a marked absence of that striving after effect which characterises often the amateur concert platform. The second part of the pro- gramme consisted of "Dream Faces," appropri- ately described as a "Dramatic Fancy," in which the dramatis personae were as follows: "Robert," Mr Edward Giles; "Philip," Mr Felix Rowe; "Lucy," Miss Vanda Charlton; "Mar- garet," Hon. Mrs Laurence Brodrick. Coin.way and District Free Church Council have pas-od a resolution rejoioiasg that the movement to open Conway Castle on Stmday has proved a failure. Mr Iioyd George has promised to open a three duya bazaar to be held at the end of January at Pwllheli, in aid of the Liberal Club. The executive of the committee appointed to nxukse arrangements for the Coronation of their Majesties nest June held a meeting pij mte-ly on JioddNor a&eroooB, at St. Joanee'e Pakoe.

PRESENTATION TO ME. T. R.…
PRESENTATION TO ME. T. R. JONES, LLANRWST. PUBLIC SERVICES RECOGNISED. Wihm it became known a few weeks ago th-at Mir T. R. Jones, Botrthwen, had decided to emigrate to Patagonia, it was generaC^y fait that a public tastimcmiaO. should be pro- moted in reoogmrtion of his valuable services to the town d-uning the last 25 veairs. At the last meeting of the Unban wuncil, when Mr Jomes tendered this resignation, of the public offices ho held under the Urixm Authority, the members resolved into committee with the object of inaugurating a system-atlic col- lection through the town towards a suitable bestamonial, and the general response real- ised a substantial sum. The presentation took place at the Town Hall, on Tuesday nigiht, Mr T. Rogers Jones presdddng. A letter from Alderman W. J. Williams was need, regretting his inability to attend through indisposition'. He wished, however, to join in the general pppTeciat-ion of the valuable services rendered to the town by Mx T. R. Jones for many years. As a member of the Counjcil he was most faithful, and as an official most devoted to his duties. Mr Rogers Jones, in making the presents tdon of a purse of gold to Mr Jones, eaid that although the intrinsic value of the testimonial Wla6 not great, it represented tihe good feeCing of the town-men of LLanrwst towards one who had manifested so much interest in its pros- perity, and one who bad devoted eo much of his time to materialising its ideals. They ail regretted Mr Jones' departure, and he could assure him. that he left beivimd him. a memory which would not sooin be forgotten, and that one and all wished him and has family every prosperity, health, and happi- ness in. tie new Land. Mr Rogers Jones t -hlni presented the purse to Mr T. R. Jones, who, in tendering lids thanks, spoke under deep feeling. He said that he found it difficult to express himself in suitable terms, but he wished to express his heartfelt appreciation of the demonstration of good fcelling shewn towards him by his cJd friends in Llanrwst. He greatly regret- ted his departure, and could echo the &e-nti- ments of an eminent statesman, and say that he felt that he had become a part of the town. He was leaving at a critical period in too history of the town, but he hoped it would emerge out of the ordeal sucoessfuikv. He re iterated his deep obligation to the Coun- cil and the public of Lkuurwst for the gift, and also for the bind sentiments 'expressed by Mr Rogers Jones. Mir W. Hughes (Fire Brigade) said th-at he wished Mr Jones every success. He had been captain of the. Fire Brigade for eight vears, anid during that period proved himeuif e. straightforward and fair-minded M, am. He had raised the Brigade to its present effieiesncy, and his departure would entail a severe loss. Mr D. J. Williams and Sir W. Davies also spoke in euiogist-ic terms of Mr Jones' past services to the; town. Mr Jomcs left with the last train for Col- wyn Bay, and was accompanied to the station by a number of friends.

DENBIGHSHIRE - I AND FLINTSHIRE…
DENBIGHSHIRE I AND FLINTSHIRE SHOW. A SATISFACTORY BALANCE ON THE YEAR. NEW FINANCE CHAIRMAN. The annual finance meeting of this society was held at Mold on Monday, Mr C. Murles?, Wrex- ham, being in the chair. otes of condolence were passed with the relatives of the late Mr P. P. Pennant, who was a trustee of the society and chairman of the Finance .Committee for over twenty years; the late Mr Alfred Ashworth, Horsley Hall, one of this year's vice-presidents; and the late Mr Richard Owen, Rhuddlan. Mr A. E. Evans, Bronwylfa, Wrexham, was elected chairman of the Finance Comimttce in the late Mr Pennant's place; Mr H. W. Buddi- com, Pcnbcdw Hall, Nannerch, was elected to the vacant trusteeship; and Colonel H. R. L. Howard was elected to the vacancy on the Den- bigh District Committee. The question of removing the office o'f the secretary (Mr T. Welsby) from Rhyl to Mold was considered, and the suggested change was favourably received, Mold being regarded as a much more central place for the society gene- rallv. It was decided to bring the matter under further consideration at another meeting. The Auditor (Mr E. Noel Humphreys) sub- mitted the annual balance sheet, which was con- sidered very satisfactory, showing a total profit S, of S118 on the last year's working, after taking into account the cups presented to the Liverpool Royal Show. > The Finance Committee's report on the past year's work is as follows:— "Your Finance Committee, in submitting their 68th annual report, arc this year in the happy position of being able to congratulate its mem- bers once more upon a further improved financial success. The annual show was held at Mold on August 11th, in delightful weather. There were several other large shows held on the same day in various districts, but these did not affect the attendance at this show, as all previous records in this Society's history were broken. "The balance sheet is this year being issued about the usual time, and there is still outstand- ing over S20 in subscriptions. Your committee are to be congratulated at being able to announce a credit balance of over B118 on the year's work- ing, after giving two JE5 cups as a donation to the Royal Show, which was held at Liverpool. "The best thanks of the Society are due to Mr H. W. Buddicom for kindly consenting to act as president for the year, and also for the hand- some donation he gave to the local funds. The Society's thanks are also due to the vice-presi- dents for the liberal support they gave to the local funds, and further to Mr A. E. Evans, Wrexham, for the very handsome cup he pre- sented to the Society in lieu of the one he won outright in 1909. The Society have also to thank the Mold and District Local Committee for E199 16s 6d, this being the amount raised for the local prize fund; and the following donors of special prizes:—Molassine Co., Ltd., Greenwich; Messrs Dewar and Sons, Walker and Sons, J Haig and Co., Tholeys, Ltd., Fulwood and Bland, Day and Sons, Ltd., Crewe; Thorley, London; Mykrol Co., Ltd., etc. "The new departure made in 1907 in the pou!- trv, pigeon and dog sections, namely, the throw- ing open to the United Kingdom of classes in these sections, was continued," and the response from exhibitors had justified this action of the Society. "It is with deep regret your committee have to announce this year, through death, the loss of several old and very valuable members, namely, Mr P. P. Pennant, J.P., who for the past 20 years had been chairman of the Finance Com- mittee; Sir Alfred Jones, Bart., Mr Alfred Ash- worth, J.P., and Mr Richard Owen, Rhyl. "The membership roll is not yet nearly so large as it ought to be for a counties' Society, although thirty new members have joined the Society during the rar; but ten have been lost through death, removals and other causes. It is to be hoped that each member will make a very special effort during next year to induce at least one new member of join the Society, and thus make the list of members one worthy of the counties of Denbigh and Flint." Next year's show is to be held at Wrexham on August 11th.
