I Painscastie's Tribunal BATCH OF APPEALS. NUMEROUS EXEMPTIONS AND REFUSALS. As briefly reported in last issue, Painscastle Rural Tribunal met at Hay, and dealt with 50 application for exemption on the 10th inst. The Tribunal sat the whole day, but were only able to dispose of 31 cases. Col. H. Beavan presided, and other members present were the Rev. Hubert G. Grif- fith, Rev. D. Morgan, and Messrs. John Davies, A. Cha-Honer, W. Moses and Edwin Lewis, Mr T. Halstead represented the military, and Mr A. Howard, acted as clerk. Miss Sarah Price (Llanybone, Bryngwyn, farmer) applied for exemption for John Rogers, aged 24. a waggoner, on the ground that she had no other man to work a team of horses. The ap- plication was disallowed. Mrs Dyke (Tyrnmonith). asked for exemption for her son, Cyril John Dyke, aged 18 years, who managed the farm for her, and, also, for Thomas Arch (28), ploughman and waggoner. The ground of the former appeal was that applicant was the only one who could help to support his widowed mother and children and see to the busi- ness, and work on the farm. Absolute exemption was granted. The ground of the appeal for the ploughman was that lie was the only man employ- ed on the farm, and could not well be spared off the land. The claim was disallowed. James Hamer (Llanbuchllyn, Erwood, farmer), sought absolute exemption. His plea was that he was farming Llanbuchllyn jointly with his brother. Arthur, who joined the forces in March last and was serving in France. Absolute exemp- tion was granted. David Pritchard (Lane Farm, near Erwood, farmer and tax collector) appealed for absolute ex- emption for his son, Arthur Pritcharl (aged 26), who worked with him. The claim was disallowed. Henry Thomas Pritchard (Penwern, Llandilo- graban) was granted total exemption. Phineas Williams (Penishapwylt, Erwood, far- mer) appealed for exemption on behalf of his two sons, John Sydney Williams, aged-22 years, and Leonard Albert Williams, aged 19 years. Ap- plicant maintained that it would be quite impos- sible for him to carry on the business without them, as they were the main upkeep of the home owing to applicant's advanced years and failing health, and, also, the serious sickness of their sisters at the present time, one being a complete invalid. Absolute exemption was granted in the case of the elder brother, and, in that of the younger, the claim was disallowed. William Evans (farmer, Llewetrog, Llanbedr, Painscastle), asked for the exemption of his only son, William Walter Evans, waggoner. Appli- cant stated that his farm was 110 acres, with ex- tensive mountain right. 50 acres being arable land and 20 acres under cultivation for crops and roots. He had 24 cattle and 200 sheep. Temporary ex- emption till July 10th was granted. John Arthur Wiliams (farmer, of Lower Rhyd- ness. Llanstephan, Boughrood), was granted ab- solute exemption, as he was indispensable for carrying on the farm. Thomas Watkins, shepherd. Cross Foot, Clyro, John Watkins, waggoner, and William Watkins, manager and cowman (three brothers) applied for exemption on the grounds that the farm could not be carried on without them. Thomas and William were granted absolute exemption, and the other claim was disallowed. Vincent Meredith (farmer, of Hendom farm, Clyro) claimed for himself and his brother, James Meredith, aged 27 years, waggoner, on the ground that their father at his great age could not man- age without them. Absolute exemption was grant- ed the former, and the claim of the latter was disallowed. Isaac Samuel (Penrhos, Glasbury) applied for his cowman and ploughman, Herbert Ernest Sheen, as he was the only man employed on his farm of 132 acres. The claim was disallowed.
