MR ISGOED JONES AND LLANRWST SEWERAGE. WHY THE CASE CAME !KTO COURT. (To the Editor af tlie ''Piomocr.")

I sjn not fonder of law tih-aui tii-e avcrr/ye-' and I oertainly should not liare re- soi-tcd to it in the pres-cot cose if I had not been driven to do so. Negotiations, were of to tlie Counc-iJ. not 0112 y di3- cl i n-cd to admit 11 esLstcin-ce of a nuisance, but they went to far as to coatcst my title to some .portion of my uand. The only -aJtaraa^ tive was thiis action, which was started early in tb? present y-cax. « Nat so very long n-ftej- the case wsa launched, or to be quite accurate, on the 2-ith April, a nieenbo-x of the Urban Da.striet Coul1-cil eallcd upon me and diacTiseed lihe matter in a fric-xiidiy wtiy, and, of oourse, ■without prejudice, and h-c gave me tbe lirn- piression tiiat he was anxious to see an end to the lit'-gat :on. As a rceuit of this inter view I banded him on the 25th of the. same aioi^tli, a. stateiaient of the terms which would iSica li»av-3 eaiti-afkd. me, and till-" aooetphaiicQ of wh would ,have. saved the enormous cosUs t"alt ha.ve sinoe been iacui-'ied, qintp apart f.oo.m tiba lax-gc, sujM of jneaaey tluit v.-Lil now have to be spent in leecoistriiicting the whole of the dratinage system of tbe town.

LLANRWST URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL- A TOWN'S MEETING TO BE CONVENED. RECENT LITIGATION DICCU3SED IN COMMITTEE. The monthly meeting of this Council was held on Friday.evening, Mr H. J. W., Watling, J.P., in the chair. There were abso present: Messrs W. J. Will.ams. J.P., E. Mills, J.P., D. J. Wil- liams, Hijghco, J.P., G Jones, A. Hughes, W. JOEO\ \V JDavijs, J. Williams, and Dr. flaiv William. together with Messrs T. Jones (clerk), U. Wyuno (surveyor), and E. M. Jones (collector;. GAS COMPANY'S PRO VISION AT, ORDER. Mr Albeit Hughc-s inquired whether the com- mittee had met to cona-der the details of the Provisional Order the Gas Company was apply- ing for. 6 The Clerk replied that cs the draft of the order would not be in hand until after Dcccrnber 23rd. it would be useless to convene a meeting of the committee before tli, --y were supplied with it. CONSUMPTION. The Surveyor, whu had been instructed at the previous Council, to examine Dr. Travis' report relatne to phthisis, suggested that the report should be relcrrcd to the consideration of the Sanitary Ccmmitteoi}. On the motion of Mr D. J. Williams, seconded by Mr J. Williams, the suggestion was acted upon PUBLIC LIGHTING. The Surveyor, who had charge of the public lighting dur.ng the last month, reported that it had much improved. He had seen the general manager, and had drawn his attention to the necessity of providing the lamps with similar mantles to the one placed on the lamp by the Town Hall, and the latter promls d to sec that that was done. He (the Surveyor), Itowever, suggested that a letter from the Clerk would expedite matters. On the moiion of Mr A. Hughos, seconded by Mr W. Davies, it was decided that the Clerk should write to the gas manager in accordance with the Surveyor's suggestion. FELIN ISA WATER SUPPLY. The Surveyor reported that he had flushed the mains at Feln Isa weekly sincl) the previous meeting of the Council, with tha result that tho water had bccomo much clearer. There was oor- rosion in the new pipes, but it was not injurious t^ health, as it was only ordinaly rust. If the pipes were occasionally flushed the wator supply would be all right. Mr A. Hughes: Have you had expert opinion relative to the pressure of the general supply, as you were instructed? The Surveyor: No, not yet. We have been busily engaged recently, but I wiU get the re- port as soon as possible. Dr. Huw VViLbains: Should not the coating on the pipes rcsist the rust? The Surveyor: It ought to, but the coating is not so ,o-)d as it used to bJ. On the motion of Mr D. J. Williams, seconded by Mr -tuoert Hughes, it was decided t.o leave the matter, in the hands of the Surveyor until the next meeting. WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. The Surveyor recommended the purchase of 150 tons of unbrokon stones, and to allow persons locally unemployed1 to break them up. Lest year they paid 35 9d per cubic yard per 24 cwt. He suggested that they should now pay 35 per 20 cwt. for breaking the stones. This was agreed to. FINANCE. The Collector reported that he had oollcctcd £111 12s 3d during the last month, which included the following items. The* Clerk oJ repo. ted having received from the County Gouna] a cheque for JS187 10s, being the half-yearly grant towards the maintananoe of the main roads, and EB 18s 3il interest on loan. FIRE Ka.ADE OFFICERS' APPOINT- MENTS Mr Albert Hughes said the members of the Fire Brigade had submitted to the Fire Brigade Committee the names cf William Hughes and John Hughes as prospective candidates for ap- pointment as lieutenant of the brigade, and the committoe reeommendod the appointment of Mr William Hughos to the vacancy. Mr John Hughes was, however, the senior by about twelve months. Mr D. J. Williams advoca.ted the appointment of two lieutenants. Dr. Huw Wdiiams contended that seniority should be a consideration. Mr D. J. Wiliiams moved that John Hughes and W. Hughes be appointed lieutenants in order of seniority, and this was agreed to. LIGHTING INSPECTOR. Mr Albert Hughes reported that the Commit- tee recommended that no lighting inspector be appointed in place of Mr T. R. Jonos. He, however, suggested that the surveyor should act as inspector. Dr. Huw Williams: That means that he will have to be out day and night. Mr A Hughes: Not necessarily. Some of us will always be about. The Surveyor: How am I to know that? You expect me to do a thing for nothing, while you paid the late inspector S5 for the work. Mr A. Hughes: And I protested against that payment. Mr D. J. Wiiliams proposed that Mr Albert Hughes be asked to do the work during the en- suing week. Mr A. Hughes I will do so provided you will do so the following month. You have more lei- sure time at your disposal than I have. Mr W. Dayies contended that the Lighting Committee should undertake the duty. Dr. Huw Williams having seoonded Mr Wil- liams' proposal, it was adopted. CARTING REFUSE. A letter was read from Mr George Jones agree- ing to cart the refuse of the town until the 31st December. It was reported that the Committoc appointed to look for a new dip had not met, so the matter was -erred until the next meeting. WELSH NATIONAL MEMORIAL. Mr Albert Hughes said that lie and Mr Griffith Jones attended the meetings held at Denbigh and Chester relative to the Welsh National Mem- orial to King Edward VII.. Several well known authorities favoured the erec- tion of pi Zilil buildings here and there throughout the country, which should be consumed by fire every ten years. They also referred to the neces- sity of lecturing throughout the country, advising the people what food to cat and the urgent neces- sity of refraining from too generous an indul- gence in tinned salmon and ddvocating the vir- tues of "fcatws llaeth." It was resolved to ask the various authorities to promote a hou.5c to bouse canvas in their districts. The Chairman was requested to oonvene a town's meeting to oonsider the matter. FAIR CARDS. The tender of Mr E. Pughe, printer, for the printing of fair cards at 16s per 500 was accepted. THE RECENT LITIGATION. The Council then resolved into c-orimittoo to oonaider their position relative to the result of the recent litigation.

THE MAN WHO WOKKS WITH HIS HANDS. WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITHOUT HIM? Well-nourished, aleict, vigorous and cheerful workers are Britain's first need. This is what makes Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Oocoa a national benefactor. All over die country, the best work is being dene by the men who bad Vi-Goooa with (their breakfasts. There is nothing' fanciful or extravagant in thi31 idea. It is true. Factory managers;, engineers, g*reat employers of labour know it to be <true. Thceu- sajids of the workers themselves have written- and said that it is true. Tboy can do better work, and enjoy their work too, with Vi-Cocoa as their helper. Their wives oan see the differenoa in them. They are stronger, healthier, more cheerful, fuller of energy and vitality sinos Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa began to be their regular breakfast drink. They keep their jobs, and can "play" better as welt as work better since tihey had Vi-Coooa. Try it onoe, and you will know. The grocer sells it in 6d paokets, or 9d and 13 6d tins. Ask for it by aame-Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Coooa. Do not aak your grooer for cocoa, Ask for W4tCocoa makes all the difference. Every grooer sells ViCogoa ift 64 pagkgtg- 9d. tad

Pater 1 taghee, carter, Agnes Grove, was sunimexiuxl for working a horse in an uniit state, the owner cf the aiiinwJ, O.ven Roberts, W crn Viela, Grove-road, bejng summoned for causing' it to be so worked. Mr J. J. Marks, who appeared for tho prosecu- tion, said Inapt. Fleming, of the R.S.P.C.A.^saw 11 u;ghü3 in onargB of woe. horse which was at- tached to a cant filled with bricks in LlarKnercui- rood. Seeing that the ■auiaiai was laaiso he stopped it, and on examinen-g' it he found it to be .•suffering from old standing sidebon-e, and that when he roXed its foot it Ù.d so on the ioe. The animal wiu in fairly gc-où condition, aged, but uot fit for work. The inspector remarked to Hughes: "Your horse is vexy laiiio and unfit for wo.;it." The driver replied: "Yes, sir. It is a bi't lame, but a lot bo.ter to-day." He was then atiked: "Did' you tell your employer that the horse was lame?" 11.0 ajiswered: "Y CIS; we put the water-pipe on it this ,nor-iilrrg beforo I left; the yard. We are pu>hed to-day to empty truoks at the railway station. The horse does not work every day." When the ,ll1.5pec"or saw the owner the latter said "the horse was lame, and that he saw it go out that niicr-rung alright. It was only a bit stiff, aj,.d., he would ha\o a "vet" to see it. On -the following Th'ur.rday the iinspector, accompanicd by Mr Hutton, veterinary surgeon, of Llandudno, saw the owner, wi.th whose permission! they went to oee the boras which was then working' in chains. Inspector Fleming gave evidence bearing out this state nxsut. Cross examinecfe by Mr E. A. Craibbs: He denied telling tlie owner to ke^.> tlie animal in for a day or tw-o after seeir%' it Oil the. first occasion. He wouid be surpi'-sed to hear that the horse- cost 45 guineas twelve m-omehu ago, and also that it won a silver cup at the last 2day Day bhow at Colwyn Bay. Mr Crabbc: Tfcm say tibis animal is practically an old crock?—I don t say it is an old ciock. but it wus lame. Mr Crabbe: At any rate you say the sideboue was -of long st.ancling?-Yo:>. P.S. Thomas gave corroborative evidence Mr Hutton, veterinary sui-g'eon, Lkind-uano, amid that when he oxaaxuned the heace on No vombc-r 10 eh it was suffering from side bone and contracted tendons, and was quite unfit for work. It was in fairly good condition. By Mr Crabbe Men suffered from contracted teracfonj, and, while it was truo that men were soiii-erim-es obliged to work while thus hanei- capped, a man having a will of his own ooald say "ides" or "No," and could refuse to work wrvoreas an animal could not. The sidebone would not be noticeable to THE eye perhaps, LUIL when tho limb was felt by the hand it was a. or:oe apparent. The boree had boon working in ohai-na, -and it was cot sweating', but an aiiiiiial .must be suffering exoe^si'vely from pain before it would sweat, and though (this horse was not in excessive pain it was suffering from great- pain. It might not have been lame on May 1st. He had se-en LAME HORSES AWARDED PRIZES I a.t May Day Shews (laughter). For Che tiefenee, Mr Crabbe said Mr Owen Roberts: was the owner of a goat many horses, and the horse was only diaiug Ugiit work on the day in question. He paid £ 40 for the horse to Mr Pierce, of LLanrwjt, twelvo months ago, and it won the silver cup now produced at the Colwyn Bay May Day Show lay; summer. His client bad sons the horse out innocently with- out any inban.fion of being ci'uel. He had never been in court boi-owre on a cha,rgb of tbait kind, and with respect to the. conversation with the inspector it was qu.ite probable that some misunderstajiiding had taken piaoe, because lto- battj could only explain himself in half English and half Wa-an, w-ailat the inspector knew English only. Uw-on Roberts said the animal's lo-ad was oaily 2g cwt. Tho inspector told him he need oniiy koep tbe horse in the stable for a day or two, otherwise he would not haive worked it. When lie Siw the iiisprotor on the following Tuesday witness aeikod him £ o go up 'to see tbe horse with Thomas Da vies, and they bath woat to the stable. He never saw the inspector after- wards. Thinking' .the horse was all right, he sent it to Old Colwyn on the following Thurs- day to work ia- chains. He paid. £ 45 for the horse. Replying to the Chairman: He had just sold tlie anrmai for £ 5 bc-aaiuse the inspecilor said he would be always after it. lie believed it was to be slaughtered for tanyard purposes, though the purchaser tolo him he wouid work at for a short time. Pc.('r Hughos and Thomas Owen Davies gUve j additional evidence. In reply to the Bench, Supt. Bereeford said there wero several previous convictions again.it Owen Roberts, inelu-ding fines for molesting an j exciee officer, obstructing the highway, causing cruelty to a horse (IQs and 33> oasts), using cruelty to a horse (lQs and 3.2, oasts), using violent- a,nd ob.xene- language keeping a without a licence. Peter Hughes was fined 5s and costs (6s 6d), whilst Owen ftoberti was. nmloted in JB1 and £1 14s costs (including the fees of an advocate and a veterinary eu-rgeon). "TRAVELLING" A HORSE IN AN UNFIT STATE. GLAN OONWAY DEALER FINED. W. Weatbury, a driver, of Giian Conway, was a, summoned for "travelling a boree whilst in an umfiit state," Wm. Rowland- Jones, dealer, Garth, Glan tloniwav, being charged with causing the animail, being so "travelled." Sophia Couotanoe Shewell, Velindra, Wood- land Park, Colwyn Bay, said1 that on November loth she saw the defendant, Westbury, driving three horses abreast over Dingle Hill. The horse in the oentre looked extremely ill. It staggered now and- again between the other two animals. It. seemed hardly ablo to walk at all. She askod the ruan what was the matter with it. He replied, "It's all right." A little furthcra,lorug the road the boree appeared to ba dO very ill that she soolic to the math again abouit it. Asiked where he w-as taking it to he replied, "To the field." She said it should' not be sent -to a bold, because a m,arm stable was its proper pl-aee. She asked him who was the owner, but lie did not answer. She never saw a. horse inaftaate, before, and, seem# a policeman, she called his attention to the animal, and the officer said he would see to it. P.C. IIoLgate gave corroborative evidteinee, and said he told the. driver lie must not travel any further with it, and the man promised to "put it up" at the Marine Ilctel, which was done. Wlien witness y saw the owner the latter said he would do whatever the yeterioory surgeon ad1 vised with the horse, which was eventually destroyed. Too owner said the hotse had travelled from Glain Conway that morning. James Rig-by, veterinary surgeon, Llandudno, said that when he examined, the horse after- ward j he fourid it to be very old and in poor r t condition. It was laftie on the mar hind leg, and after ru-nnitng it 20 or 30 yards its leg gave way, and it wenit practically on three legs. It was oertainly unlit to wallk any distance on the road. Inspector Fleming, of the R.S.P.C.A., gave additional evidence. Mr E. Davios-Jones, Llamrwit, ivtio afp- ipeaxed for ltho defence, said that -vrhen itihe horse left the owner's yard that moming- ilt appeared q-uito fit to walk, aa -was. intended, to Abergele, ^vlw-noe it was to be tra-ined to Manch^dUa: ten route for Germany possibly C.o,tiejt,v). It bccaane laime on -the wa.y, ami the owtner was, of course, gnilty of no offence, as he had no knowledge that the animaj would ooklapee cm the way.

( 'j'ab'be (fcir the complaiiian-t) ex- plained fiit the previous hearing that as Dr. was an casrabtial "witiiissis in tbo case, be haid «ub{>aDi!jaod him, ellld gent kID. more thaai eufbcicn't conduct onoaey to oover his travcCiling expeiM-es from South Wales. The money Ga retanmiad to Mr T. J. VVikiams, ome of the justaces for the div-ision, who had signed, the subpoena, with a letter stating 'that Dr. Ow-an- could not attend as he w-as unwell. Dr. Owen also forwarded a medical cei'bl&cat-e atatiug he 'was not physically tit to attend. The ease was tfiien adjourned in orideti' that Dr. Owen oould be again com- .niu,i,, with. M,r Crabbe now stated tbat he had euh- poemaad Dr. Owen, and if be did mat new appear ho had an application to ma-ke to the B-jrjeh. "nr. Ltloyd Owen" was theai called by the court offiteetrs, but there -was no response. In reply to the Clerk, Mr Crabba said be WC3 satisfied that Dr. Owen was not there, exid under the clceuen- atanees he mttst apply ifcbat a warrant be issued to ;bi'iteig bku thiere. The Chairman Haw you had a letter from Dr. Owen since you werle here before? Mr Craib'be; I have all th-a here, and I wiah your worehiips to read them. Tine advooaite baindi-ed in a batch of docu- ments, and added that he had had a o-ert Il- ea te 'that morning from a Dr. Rnmbclow. I have also had this teifet-ar, he added, this extra- ordinary thing, this anornimg. As far as the writing on the envelope is concerned, though I could not vouch for it, I think it is toe wcJtimg of Dr. Owien. Mr Joseph Lloyd, Ehyl (for the defence): That is from the witness, of course. 'Mr Hamnxersley Heenan (perusing a docu- ment): This certificate is very indetiniil.e. Mr Gi^abbe; Quite so., sir. I an-ay -say that I retiariicd th-e conduct money to Dr. Owen, the second time, after the last OOUIlt. la re- ply ho said he would want more moci e-y for his expeiscs. I wrot-e telling bim that he must aittsnd uopon a subjjoena of tbe oourt. Th.& ChairaiLan I think it is a. reasonable application. The witness appears to treat the court with some amount of contempt. ve grant the warrant to bring the witaietes he lie by the next court. At this stage a gemtleman put in a doou-' ment with the remairk: I .am Dr. Owen's brother. This boars upon this cajse. The Chairman This is quite informal. We grarut the ismte of the warrant to bring him ILexe for the next court as I said before.

SKIN ITCHED FOR 16 YEARS INFLAMED, CRIPPLING ECZEMA CONQUERED BY MAGIC ZAM-BUK, For sixteen years Mrs M. A. Palmer, of 15, New Queen-street, Two Mile Hill, Bristol,, was tortured by itching sores, which after defying doctors, hospitals, and common ointments, were completely conquered by Zam-Buk. Telling a Bristol journalist what she had gone through be- fore her marcellous cure, Mrs Palmer said :— "After my baby was born sixteen years ago, I began to have trouble with my leg, which got very swollen and painful. The skin was inflamed and itched 'fearfully, yet it was so tender that I scarcely dared touch my leg at all. I couldn't put my foot to the ground because of the pain that used to shoot up my leg. "The skin later began to scale and dry itching sores formed- I was in such pain and distress and so badly crippled that I went to tho Royal Infirmary, but met with no success ttiore. Afterwards I attended the Bristol Hospital, stall without deriving any benefit. When private doc- tors also could do me no good quite naturally I came to regard my complaint as incurable. I am a widow with ten children, and I earned a little to keep the home together by loundry work, but I became too much of a criplle to manage even this. "For nearly sixteen years my leg and foot re- mained tore and swollen and the skin rough and scaly. All kinds of ointments I used, but found cheap preparations of no use at all. Just before last Christmas my son came home, and when he saw me hobbling about the house on sticks n great pain, he at once got me seine Zam- Buk, in which he has great faith. "I can't tell you what wonderful relief Zam- Buk brought me that night, and only those who have suffered as I did can understand how eagerly I persevered with this magic balm. As a result the inflammation seemed to bo charmed away, and the swelling went down splendidly. At the same time Zam-Buk removed all the 6caly skin and grew new healthy skin in its place. I was soon walking about without sticks and with no traoc of lameness whatever. My neighbours were astonished at the wonderful cure Zam-Buk brought me."
