FLINT COUNTY COUNCIL. SHOTTON STRIKE. HIGHER TAXES ON MOTOR TRAFFIC. A quarterly mooting of UM) Flintshire County Council was held at Mold yesterday, Mr Har- greaves presiding- over a laTgo allcndance, Mr Edward Biain, of Consaah's Quay, wae elected alderman in the ptaoe of the late, Mil" P. P. Pennant. On the motion, of Mr H. A. Tilby, it wars de- cided that the oierk of the peace be instructed not to advertise any police vacancies suoh as tho appointment of rtnag'istrates' clerks witholut first submitting the same to the consideration, of tiho Standiiiig Joint Committee. Mr Tilby re- marked1 that the committee had been phic-c-d in an awkward position thrctigh this being done. APPEAL TO THE CHANCELLOR. Mr flugil Peel asked what was being- done in reference to t'he proposal mado to the Chan- cellor of 6he Exchequer for the necessity of all mechanically driven vehicles paying an annual licence which ahould be used for the 11 laintenance of the r-aads, as at present a Threat injustice was inflicted on lceaji ratepayers by the use of these vehicles, the owners of which only paid a regirit.ration fee of JE1 for ail tKne. A great part of the damage to the roads was done by heavy motor traction which was, paying no increased tax, and many of them did not even take out!, their licences in that cosinty. Mr B. P. Burronnghs Fiuggrglei, th.wt the Ijondon and NrM-th-Western- Railway Company should be asfeed to t aire out licencey for their motor vehicles in that district. The question, was referred to a committee. LIGHT RAILWAY SCHEMES. Mr Ca-l-jel Cure, th2' chairman cf t!he Railway and Parhamentary- Ccaiimitit,ce\, repoirted that he had l'eceived no rspiies of a satisfaotory charao- teir in rctferanoa to the akeular letter he had cent round to all ircteretstjd in the light railway scheme. If the people in the district did not wissh to ba helped by the advantages of a light railway in their midst they did not dessrve fur- ther cottiaideratsion. After a tfiwrt diaouission the matter droptwd. A discussion aioso on. the Dyserth and New- market, ligiht railway scheme, and it was tte- cidcd that tho Comncil chould give it their unani- mous support and approach the Board of Trade with a view to tihe-ir w' t.hdmwal oi their claim as to t:hc necessity of erecting- a bridge at New- market. Mccsrn J. Owen Hughcq, Rilsuddlsn, and G. Brookes, Rlhyl, wera appointed Coujicil represen- tatives 011 the CSrwyd and Elwy Fishery Board. Mr J. W. Summers;, M.P., was appointed (Council representative on fu9 Territorial Force Atwocjation. Mr J. Phillips Jones was appointed on t'he Dee Oaneervancy Board. The following renre £ entativ«s were appointoo in the place of the Je.te Mr P. P. Pennant:— The National Muiovni and Library of Wales, Mr Henry Taylor; N,-t.-th Walea Asyluni, Mr F. J. Gamdiffi; the Agricultural!! Committee of the North Wales Co'llege, Colonel Philipts; the County Councils Association;, Mr Hairgraves; iJho RhA. Ofld-Age Pensions Committee, Mr F. J. GaTrlin. Retorence was made by Mr Gamlin to the strike at Shotton. It seemed to him that they art a, County Council should do something to bring about a settlement between the parties con- cerned. He did not blame the employers, because they were evidently doing their best to bring about a settlement, and he was glad to seo Mr Summers present at the meeting that day. He did not know how it could be brought about, but he would propose that the parties concerned in the strike be approached with a view to their ace ptirig the services of Mr Herbert Lewis, M.P., Mr Hargroavei, and Mr Walter Yates as conciliators or intermediaries in this dispute. Mr J. H. Ellis (Rhyl) seconded, and referred to the fact that the closing of the works meant the losa of E6000 a week in wages alone. It would be an appalling disaster not only to the paa"t,ij98 !C<Hic'ea'ai€d 'but to tlie county ^•esnej'.aLly if the works, wore closed altogether. He imdirinpt'Ctod the dispoite was, onct "between the emp'oyerrs and employed but between different trades iwwoins, and he thought if these r-Ac-rntle- meiii cootid exerciee some influence in faeiipiag the parties eoinoexncd to .'Uirive at a eettOemeent th-ey would have eaiuied the gratitude of the county g-etn-ciralily. Mr J. W. Summers, M.P., said he did not witsli to say anything about the merits of tihe CaM., but they as a. firm did not accept the ,rcq)omei.biJ!i-ty of the strike. ai2d no one would be more drfigfiited thcai they if a settlement y. as eotme to. He cÜ'ud assure th.e CounciJ that they would do all they could to hctp to Hus dispute to an end. Mil- Herbert Ijewis, M.P., £,J.id tJiat 110 one would dream of refusing the invitation, to act on a. deputation that had focr its ebjeet the settZe.TiiCnt ç¡f this p-ute. He fcilt sure that their sympathies were with coaeetnnod, and kB onily hesitenev in aecepting the iinvitatioin was that tmiasktd-for intervention wiae not always weJoocme. However, he was sure they w.cltllld do their bast. The motion was unianiimously caa-ried.

RHYL PETTY SESSIONS. THE RECOVERY OF COSTS. This court was held on TWeday, before Messrs J. H. Ellia (chaatncMm), T. D. Jones and JoJm PVisiiston. EXTENSION OF LICENCE. Mr E. B. Sco-it, oa behiailf of the PaJou.E and Ho ted Co., Ltd., applied foe- an extension of the bobe.1 Liosnoo tall ccie ..m. cm the occasion od a dinner to the Post Office staff on Boxing Night. He explained that the e,aff would not be abJe to as»erm-ble before ten p.m., owing to the pressure of work at tha,t time of too yeeir. The application was grabbed. For the Rhyd Ladies' Golf (lut) ball on JaanTiury 13tih, at the Queen's Hotel, an ex- tensiooi tilil 2.30 waa granted. Mr Scott again appeswed for the Applioanta I-LICE RECOVERY OF COSTS. A kn.gt.hy circular letter was reed from the Hocro Sectreitaj-y on the subject of tb,3 com- mittal in dtrfauilt of costs, in which he pointed out th-at justices should take into acicoomt a man's means and the mature of the ofieaice with which he was charged wkai deal- ing with, the question of recovering costs. Mr 01-i-s said hia thought the circular was vex-y good, and tlijat that court had alwave, actled in aeoocrdanee with the spirit of it. W Tlie Clerk said that many times the Bonch had remitted paj-t or whole cstt;, owin- to the circumstances of the defendant. ° At times, however, the practice of the theory eet forth in the oii~cula.r was verv diirieuilt. In a œre that day in which the Town Clerk appilkd for process agaiaist a docikey diriver iLaniusd James Pwry, aged 17 yeaais, who wa.s fined 2e 6d and 88 costs for touting in August last the defendant had shown no gratitude at all for the lenience extended to him by the Bench. It speared now to have become a queetkxn of the youth's COmmdttwt-nt or tOO w^DBSttg out of the casa from the Looks of the court, in which event the whoilo pro- oecdi-iijgis wm be converted into a fiaeco. After furtbesr daecussipon the Beach ad- journed the tappiicMkna eiae die.

It was left to the Clark to interview Mr S. Peris (chairman, of the Beaach before whom the defendant was tried) on the subject.

RHYL RATEPAYERS' ASSOCIATION. SUGGESTED "BAND FOR THE SUMMER SEASON. The moiDthly meeting of the Ratepayers' Association waa heid last evening, Mr Cheetil- am preiiding. Tne was asked to appoint three of its members to meet a depuiation from the Ad- vertising Association to wait on the Council for the purpose of furthering the advertising soheene. It was stated that Messrs Arnold, Aahfield, and E. K. Miller would represent the Advertising' Associatioji, and Messrs E. W. Parry, Ed. Roberts (Queen-street), and R. Ilan- Ion were appointed 10 act for tho Ratepayers' Association. The proceedings of the last Cotmail meeting- were reported to the Association, and a discus- sion -took place on the question c-f the price of gas. There was a concennus of opinion that the time had come when there shoirid be a re- datrtion in the price, it being believed t-hat the inceascd consumption would more than coun- terbalance the loss of receipts, and that tlncse who contributed directly to the gas concern were eriiitled to more benefit than other rate- payers .110 did not u.-so gas. A division tc-dk place as to wltether in addi- tion to aslciag for a general reduction a further request should be made for preferential treat- ment for those who used gaa other than for illu- minating purposes, and this latter view was adopted. The meeting expreased gratification that tlie Council had brought in a scheme for providing new lavatories in the town. With regard to the arrangements for the gardens for next reason, it ia-as decided to urge upon the Council to take steps to eecure a band in the gardens through the f-easom commenc- ing as early as possible, and oantmuing right to the end of the ^eaison. A su'g'gct'.ion that, the gardens and ntew marine parade should be ojien to residents free of ijharge dtur>iin-g the -.rinter months wa.3 de- ferred.

CONWAY. Ou polling day at Conway Mr J. 12oyd Parry was th presiding offioar at the palling station, at t.he Guildhall, and the party repre- sentatives were — Conservative, Mr John Thomas; Libera], Mr R. C. Roberts. Mr T-hco. Jones, Melbourne Works, was the first elector V record his vote, ho being a few seconds before Mr John Wynne. Polling was steady throughout the day, the majority of electors, however, voting between five and seven in the evening, whilst after 7.40 p. only one elector recorded his vote. 476 poled out of a lxussibie 529, but the decrease was accounted for by deaths and removals. LY-rge crowds of people awaited the deelar-i- tiicn of the result on. Saturday night, and a. great deal of enthusiasm was displayed by the local Liberals when the figures became known. SingVng and cheering were freely indulged in.

FLINT BOROUGHS. LIBERAL CANDIDATE RETURNED. Polling took plaos in Flint Boroughs «n Friday, the result being declared as fol- k>ws: — J. W. Summers (L.) 2096 Colonel Howard (U.) 1589 Liberal majority 507 The Liberal majority in 1910 was 427.

UNIONIST TRIUMPH IN DENBIGH BOROUGHS. HON. ORMSBY GORE'S SUCCESS. The result of the polling in the Bern high Borougths was <ke.lar«d on Friday night as foLlowa —■ Hon. Ormeby Gore (U.) 2335 Caradoc Roes (L.) 2376 Unionist majority 9 The Unionist majority at the previous election was 8. The announcement of the figures was received witil deafening oheers, and there was unbounded enthusiasm amongst the Unionist supporters at the Hon. Ormsby Gore's return. The poll was a heavy one, thoug'h not a record, and although illie result was remarkably dose the victory is a splendid triumph for Unionism in North Wales.

VICTORY WON BY HARD WORK. HON. ORMSBY GORE AND MR LLOYD GEORGE. On Saturday afternoon tho Hon. W. Ormsby Gore, M.P., met with a most enthusiastic recep- tion at Wre-xhain. The streets of the lown through which Mr Gore travelled, were crowded, and everywhere the new member was greeted with loud and! prolonged cheering. S[ leaking from the balcony of the Conservative Club to a crowd of several thousands, Mr Gore id he had be-on returned by an increased majo- rity—even if it was only one-atld they had won a great victory (cheers). He took that oppor- tunity of thanking the Conservative party in Wrexham for the way in which they had helped him to win that victory. It had been won en- tirely by hard work. The Radical party had never worked so hard before, and they had been beaten fairly and squarely (cheers). Tho Liberals fought a very good, straightforward fight, and Mr Rees, his opponent, had acted in a very gentlemanly way, and he asked) them to give thiv*; cheers for that gentleman. These having been heartily accorded, Mr Gore (con- tinuing) said they were quite ready to fight hi, again, and beat him again (cheers). The Metropolis of South Wales and the Metropolis of North Wales had both done the same thing, and had declared against Mr Lloyd George (hear, hear) He bad been fighting against Mr Lloyd George and his policy, and the two groat towns in Wales, the biggest in the South and the biggest In the North, had both had enough of the Chancellor of the Exchequer (chears). Mr Lloyd George had abused the speaker personally (shame). He thanked them most cordially for returning him onoe mom, and sending him back to West- minster to represent the Unionist causa and principle*, and the intwrosts of tihe whole of the country, and not of factions only (cheers). He tivm-ked them for their work, for their help, their loyaity, and their gratibude. He tAked them to be courteous to all their opponents. Let tiiem agree to differ with them. Their oppon- ents had been beaten in a fair fight, and let them take their beating in the right spirit (sheers). Mr Gore later in the day had a gxaxxi mend-off on his journey homewards to Oswestry, whore he addressed a large Unionist gaiibering in support «* Ife Jtodgwaaa.

EAST DENBIGHSHIRE. RETURN OF THE LIBERAL CANDIDATE. REDUCED MAJORITY. Tho result of the poll in East Denbighshire was declared yesterday at Wrexham as follows:— E. 1'. John (L.) 6 449 A. Hood (C.) 3'185 Majority. 3,253 1 inc Liberal majority at the last election was 3,549. After the figures had been announced, Mr John, the new member, was carried shoulder high, es- corted by an enthusiastic crowd of supporters through the town to the Reform Club. Passing the Conservative Club en route the now member was accorded a hearty cheer, at the request of his defeated opponent, Mr Hood, who was ad- dressing his followers from the balcony. Upon arrival at the Reform Club, Mr John said that when he first arrived in the constituency he told the electors that ho would appeal not only to the;r Liberalism, but to their sentiment as Welshmen. He believed it was because of this that they had given him this great majority. He had been overwhelmed by his reception on bis first appearance in the division, but that was only a foretaste of what had happened sinoe. Mr Caradoc Roes, banister, who lost Denbigh Boroughs for the Liberals by nine votes, said he believed that if the Liberal party continued to fight as they had fought in that division, when the time came for another contest he felt sure that the Denbigh Boroughs would demonstrate its Liberal oo-nvictions in a mo?t unmistakable man- ner (cheers). Mr Hood, at the Conservative Club, expressed his gratification at the reduction of the Liberal majonty by <-81. East Denbigh was certainly a very difficult constituency, but the Conservatives must never give up hope. They must go on fight- ing, and sooner or later they would triumph.

FLINT AND DENBIGH HOUNDS. MEETING AT TALACRE HALL. TIMoo was a. fairly good muster wihicm hounds, under the command of Colonel R. W. Wiubaimis-Wymi, ktipt thuw appointment at Taaacrc, HaJJ, the residieaioe of Sir Pyetre W. Mostyn.

How- ever, at Grcinaiit Wood a fox was awaiting tho pack, which dirovo him out and Tarn into him at tibe bottom of the hiill. AsocrndiJDg oiiboo nioro to tho ILig]).,or ground, the various eoverte and gorses did not respond, foxes b&ijig hard to find. Åftetr trying the Cob to no purpose and Waiter Cover, in the dimec- tion of Dyaea-feh, hoaends were taken the oppo- site way, through Kewmsarket towards Llyn Hdyg axid tho 'Dravcd leans' Inu.

A LLANRWST WIDOW DROWNED. CORONER'S INQUEST. On Monday Mr Pentir Williams, coroner held an inquiry touclung the death of Mrs Mary Ann Lloyd, "6 years of age, a widow residing at Ty Hwnt j'r Bont, Llanrwst, whose body was found in the River Conway at Gower's Bridge on Satur- day. Mr LI. G. Jones, Mac3 yr Haf, Trefciw, was foreman of the jury. Christopher Lloyd, son of the deceased, ga.vc evidence of identification, and stated that the last time he saw hia mother alive was at 6 am on Saturday morning, when he left to go to his work. She wa» then in her usual health. She had suffered from rheumatism for the past three years, but he never noticed her depressed. Winiam W illiams, Ysgubor Gerrig, stated that he was conning to Llanrwst along the Trefriw Old-road, and .when near Tu Hwnt i'r Bont he saw deceased crossing the road. She went through the opening on the upper side of the Llanrwst Bridge and immediately turned down a little path in the direction of the river. This was at 11.15 a.m on Saturday. Joseph Thomas, SiHn-square, said that between 12 and 1 o'clock on Saturday he was going down Station-road when two little children told him that there was a woman drowned in the river, but the children were so small that he took no notice, and went on. A little further he met a lad of about 15 and he asked him itf it was true, and the boy said "Yes; she is in the water by Cower* 3 Bridge." Witness immediately ran there and lifted the woman up, holding her by her shoul- ders until two other men came with a rope, by means of which he brought her body ashore. Mr John Roberts, Con way terrace, Llanrwst, stated that he was very well acquainted with the deceased, and he had noticed for the past few weeks that there was something peculiar about her. The jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned," and passed a vote of sympathy with the deceased's family.

LLANDUDNO AND THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL. CORDIAL SUPPORT TO THE SCHEME. LOCAL COMMITTEE TO BEGIN WORK AT ONCE. A fairly well attended public meeting was held at the Town HaJ/l, Llandludno, on Friday eve- ning in connecticai with the memorial to the late King Ediward VII. Mr E. E. Bono, chairman of the Urban Dis- trict Council, who presided, said at the outset, that it would be difficult to fimd an object nwre worthy of support tibian that, beoaiuse a meal"- orial of a more fitting and appropriate character to the great King Edward VII. could) not be icutid,. Their late sovereign, had taken a great and active interest in every movement for the 'L'a prevention and cure of disease and suffering, and, they coutid not have found any scheme which would 'have been more in harmony with the late King's own washes than tho present one, nor one more oalcuLaed1 to koesp alive his ever-loving and revered memory in the minds of the people (hear, hear). It was aloo a movement which was free from any taint of politics or sect, and they oowid all unite as the iniiabitaaits of a com- mon country, cach to do his part, however small or big (appiauee). lie trusted it wouldl not b3 ftroin lack of any effort on the part of it s in- habitants tbat Llandudno would be unable to contribute a fair share towards that great memorial (hear, hear). Dr. Dahon then moved the fol/lowing :coolu- tion :—"That this meeting of inhabitants of Llandudno heartily appro vets of the propo.saA that the Welsh National Memoriail to the iato King Edward VII. should take the form of a. campaign against the ravages of consumption, and tuber- culosis in Wales and Monmouthshire, and pledges Its!-If to do atil in its power by the col- lection of subscriptions ami) by otner means to further tho movement" (hear, 'hear). Dr. Dal- ton proceeded to say that when the first shock ca,usedi by tlhe death of the late King Edward had to some extent subsided, everyone felt the need of raising some worthy memorial to his memory, and he believed that Wales was not lacking in any way in that respect (hear, hear). It was desirable that tho whole of Walets should unite, and hav-e one memorial, which would be worthy of the Principality, rather than a num- ber of smaller memorials which might or might not be successful and worthy of the objœt. They knew well that tubaroulosis w a ourse everywhere, but particmlarly 111 Wales. Perhaps they did not know that THE DEATH-RATE IN CARNAR- VONSHIRE from consumption was fifty per cent, above the doath-rate uhroilyho*ufc England and Wales. The details of the consumption crusade scheme liad not yot been decided upon, but one thing to be done was tho preventiom of consumption. There were to bo sanatoria for the oare of oonsump- tives, but there was aloo an educational side to tho question, of possibly equal importance. By means of lectures, etc., the people were to be educated with the object of intiuoing them to live healthy lives in healthy fiurroundinigs. Thus it was hoped that consumption and tuberculosis would1 soon be unable to find suitable soil for its development (hear, hear). It was sugigested that about ESW,000, considerably more than half of wliich sum had already been contributed, would be required (cheers). The scheme, he oon- eluded, would undoubtedly have received the late King's support, aaid the success of such a scheme was to be judged not from tiie amount su1:JscribN1\, but from tne number of subscribers (hear, hear). Mr J. J. Marks, chairman of the Council's Health Committe-a, who seconded the resolution, said Carnarvonshire had an unenviable reputa- tion, tine death-rate there being big-h-er than anywhere in Wales. It was, therefore, one of those places in which the scheme now propo-^ed should appeal very forcibly. The late King Edward, were he still living,, would have ap- proved of the scheme, because it was he, when he was Prince of Wa4es, who- presided over a meeting in Wailes, at which the first public movement towards the cure of tuberculosis was decided! upon, and he. had dc-vote-d £ 200,000 given him by Sir Edward; Cassc-li in aid of a sanatorium for the cure of the disease (applause). Consumption was A PREVENTIBLE DISEASE. and it was possibl-e that, within the life-time of some of those in that room that night tubercu- losis wouilsl become as rare as a case of small- pox or typhoid fever—(hear, hoar),—if only the proper precautions were taken. They would probably prefer to have a number of sanatoria ihan one large one for North Wales and a large one for Soutn Wales in order to ensure quicker treatment, but he could only say that the effect of the pioposals would be very much enhanced if everyone in Lladx-hidno would contribute ac- cording to 'his means (hear, hear). The heart. of LJandludalo was generally in the right place in mat.toers of that kind (hear, hear). The Rector (Rev. LL R. Hughes, M.A.) sup- ported the motiooii, and said that everyone who wished for the good of his country should sup- port the movement. 11.0 thought nothing could be a more appropriate memorial to a great and good king tlian anything which wo-uld ba done for t.he health of his kite subjects and their children (hear, hear). It was st-if-evident when they thought of tIlJè. goodaiees of heart, the noble- nese of ideas, and the tinbou-nded concern for the health of his subjects, which were characteristic of the. lata Kinrg, that the proposed scheme must appeal to them aa being supremely appropriate for commemorating the memory of Kin" Edward VII. It had the further claim of being a subject upon which everyone was agreed. All the medicad profession of the oountry, men who had given 20 to, 30 years to the study of yuch questions, were entirely at one upon the mat ter, and it was a matter of intense joy to him (the speaker) that something was at last -,o' ng to b3 dtone towards the elimination of &udh a great soourge from their midst (hear, hear). It was said that Wales never a.greed upon any- thing, and that there was a great disunion amongst Welshmen, bu-t he rcgardfed it as a hope- ful sign tihat they had at last, one great object upon which all the best in the land were agreed and in earnest (hear, hear). He considered it was NOT ONLY A NATIONAL and philanthropic movement. It was also a re- ligious movement, for if there was anything that characterised the life and work of their^ Lord Jeous Christ whilst on earth it was that He had spent a great deal of His time in healing the sick (applause). Mr E. W. Johnson also spoke in support of the movement. The memory of the late King Edward, he said, would live as long as that country existed. King Edwa.rd, when he died, had been mourned not only by his own country- men at home and across tho seas, but by every foreigner, be he friend or foe (hear, hear). They would be less than Welshmen, less than British- ers, nay, they would be less ilian men ajid women if they did not at any sacrifice to them- selves contribute towards t7hat movement 'hear hear). The Welshman always had ijeer^ and would always continue to be absolutely 'oval and that was a grand opportunity of showing their loyalty (cheers). 0 The Rev. John Raymond, English Baptist minister, said there was hardly anyone present in that room who had not lost a dfear memb of their family through the rarva.ges of the terrible disease, consumption. The fig.ure3 with regard to Carnarvonshire were very wtAitling but it was only fair to state that thc*ve,ry fact that t-hat part of Wades was so much lavourod by visitors helped to brmg into tiieir midst people who suffered from the disease and who died in their midst. He was whole-heartedly in favour of the movement (hear, hca;r). The OhairmaM pointed out that the } ->h figures ddtfi not apply to Llandiudno so much Mr John Owen, chairman of the Carnarvon- shire County Council, said he baiieved in tlve prevention of disease more than in the cure of it, and he was glad to see that the scheme which tiie Central Committee had in view was one ^eh would be mostly devoted to the prevention of it (hear, hoar). The sum of £ 300,000 was to be raised and invested, and the proceeds was to be devoted to the purpose of the preventive work (hear hear). The average death-rate from consumption throughout the country was 1700 par niill-on of the population, but in Carnarvon- siHret it was 1800 per million. CONWAY HAD THE LOWEST WFRAGE in the county, the death-rate there being some- thing like 620 per million of the population, and Llandudno was next lowest with an average of a little over 700 per million. The resolution was carried unanimouslv. LOCAL COMMITTEE FORMED. Mr T. W. Griffiiih then mowd "thai a com- mittee of ladies and gentlemen be appointed by this meeting with power to add to their number to act with the members of the LLandudtno Ur- ban District Councrl in mapping out tbe district and in appointing collectors With a view to a systematic house to house oanvaeg for subearirv- tions, and in taking any otfcer steps which may bo deemed advisable. Mr Gri the wen* on to say that 'he felt sure, a result of & house to "Tl Soling. 'Hiey as W«feh people ought to take a v«ry prominent part m commemorating the memory of the late King. He would remind his countrymen that the late Kmg wa» a member of the Gorsadd of Wales (hear, he-)-and bad attended several of their National atbenings. He remembered King Edward being- pnaeent at the Carnarvon Eisteddfod in 1892 when he was W-:into the m of tOO Go. King Edward had aihvayB taken great interest in the prosperi- ty and welfare of that Prints parity Rizar,. hear). He looped that they in Llandudno would do their duty faithAiily and well (hear, bear). Mr John Roberts, BrynceJyn, seconded the re- solution, which wat; carried unanimously.
