The girl told her story to her parents, information given I to the po:iCC" and defendant was arretted.— I AsJted if she had anything to add to her cvi- dence, the girld stated timt she did not want to walk through Eaton Park, but along the road through Aldford, asi she thought i*he might iiicK;t a tradC6man rdllruing from Chester, and could walk back with him.

SPLENDID SUCCESS IN CREWE. A notable success has been achieved in Crewe, and the rtery of Mrs. Walker's experience will be eagerly read here in Chester, as much may be fathered from it which will be of gieat use ts.< many < f us. jlrs. S. Walker, 4, Arthur-street, Crewe, savs :I am pleased to be able to give a testi- monial for Loan's backache kidney pills, for I have received splendid relief from them. I don t triisk I should, have been alive now had it net been f;.r these pills. "About six. years agu I slipped down in the kitchen a.nd injured my hip. This left me very poorly, and affected my kidneys and loins. My kidricy-s were d s rdered, too, and I had severe shooting pairs in the small of my back, which was .0 weak that I could hardly get about. "T tii k dec tor's medicine, but I got no bet- ter, a.nd I was gradually growing weaker, when I was per- ua-cied to try Doan's backache kidney pills. After taking two boxes of the pills I was greatly improved, so I kept on with them. I have taken seven boxes of Doan's pills aito- gether, and they have done me so much good that I think it cnly right for the facts of my ta c to be published." It is no use curing the symptom, of a disease; they will return. You must cure the cause; then you will be permanently cured. Doan's Backaohe Kidney Pills cure diseased kidneys, which are the cause of Dropsy, Rheumatism, Backache, a.nd Pains in the Loins and Limbs. Doan's Baokacho Kidney Pills arc two shil- lings and ninepence per box (six boxes fcr thir- teen shillings and ninepence). Of all chemists ,-ind stores, or p. st free, direct from Foster- .McCleilan Co., 8, Wells-street, Oxford-street, W. Be euro you get exactly the same kind of pills that Mr3. Walker had. r

1IAWARDEN GUARDIANS. A. I The fortnightly meeting of the ilawarden Board of Guardians was held on Fri- day at tho Brcughton Workhouse, Mr. W. Fryer presiding. Mr. Spencer atoked whether it was a fact that boys m the house were employed in washing the floors. If this was so, he wished to express the opinion that the boys might be better em- ployed in learning something of a more useful- character Mr. Vickers took exoepcion to tha remarks made by Mr. Spencer. If the boyii were in- tended for a seafaring life, he thought it was absolutely necessary that they should be taught to wash a floor. Ho could not eee anything derogatory in washing a floor or cleaning up a iireside. Mr. Millington endorsed all that Mr. Vickers ha,d said. He knew from Experience that when a lad happened to be the oldest ohild in the house, ilre was of the utmost servioe to his mother when he was able to do odd jobs. They were very much better employed doing that work than doing what children outside the houso were dolzig-kiclin, t foorlxlli on the high ro-id ail day. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Spencer asked the Master whether both he and the matron were absent on the occasion of the death of a child in the house. The Master answered that he oould not say on the spur of the moment. Mr. Hampjon asked whether the Board con- sidered it fair to put questions of that character to the officials without giving notice. (Several members i "-No, no.") The Master: Now I ha\e had time to con- sider, 1 say I was in the house at the time. The matter then dropped. 'I The Clerk (Mr. H. G. Roberts) read he par- ticulars o amounts received from the valiuu5 parishes for the rates. It appeared that the j tc.i required was £ 6.375, of which the County I Council WCl1Ù inquire for its own us? £ 4,752 7s. ?d—Tho Chan man said :hepubitc had no idea that such a im?cpto?t'tK.tU of th 8lUl co.lected by the overseers went to the County Council. H? thought the County Council ?kot:?! be t'?queA?<) io coii ect their own rate, and they then would be responsible to the poopk who elected them. Tho general mass of the iat-epay?ri had no conception that- practically three-foulths of the money was not. at the dis- posal of the guardians. He thought, the County Council ehould issue a precept, directly against the over-Hors.—it was agreed that. the requisi- tion be signed. G CARD LANS AND CANON DREW. ALLEGED INSULT. I Uelorence -was made to a paragraph wnu-n appeared in t-L>e "liawarden Panh Magazine'' w:rl re.g?rd to .he Brou?-.ton W'rkhou&o. 1, aUuded to the Government In-spee-tor's recent visit and to his 'suggestions for alterations. The paragrupii stated' "We shall none of us feel happy or t..t rest until those change?, have rcqLlirEhi. The Chairman said tho jaragraph cast gra J reflections upon the Guardians and the man- agemunt.of the house. II; was a Churehmaei, and prided himself on being a broad-minded one, but for the life of him he could not .e on what grounds the Reutor of Hawardon could in any way justify the insertion of such a crit'cLsm. He wa-s sure that everything that could bo do-re for the welfare of the inmates was being done, and had been done. (Hc-ar. hear.) Mr. Wright said h" looked upon the notice as an insult to the GiiftrdiariiS. No one, he thought, could say anything against hi's charac- ter in Hawardon. He had tried to do his dutv t" a Christian man, and he hoped he h.ud suc- ceeded. ilo was sorry that the paragraph had appeared, because it convoyed a wrong Oil to the public. Mr. Iia-np>on said he was a Churchman, al- though he was afraid h-e did not attend as legaiarly as ho might—(laughter)—but he was greatly astonished when he saw such a report i:1 die "Parish .\bg"Ú; Ho had served on the Board for the past thirteen years, and had expended a vast amount A time and hael done his b.et. Consequently ho oould not see any jL,.st-.ifc.tt:oi Tor such an expression of opinion. When he first attended ilic meetings of thr- Board, the house was not the clean plaoe it j w:t's now. If the Board had not been success- ful in doing all that they had intended, they had at any rate done their best The remarks were uncharitable, unfati', and uncalled for, and he moved that, a letter be written to Canon Drew to the effect that ihe Guardians resented the insertion of the paragraph, and had eome to the conclusion that he had been wrongfully informed on some points. Mr. Vickers said he remembered years ago when the house w is whitewashed, but now the house was painted throughout. A new house, however, could not be made out of an old ano. (Hear, hear.) To do all that, might be re- quired. they would have to expend £ 1,100. Everything concerning the house shotted be closely investigated before suoh sweeping state ev-nts were allowed !o go into print. Mr. Williams (Buckley): I think Canon Drew should -ipologise.—It was decided to write to Canon Diew. The Chairman read a report of the committee appointed to inspect the workhouse with regard I to the recommendations of the Local Govern- ment Board Inspector, They rccommendcd vari- ous alterations in the- boyt'' and girls' wards, the siek wards. and the men's and women's watds. They also reeommcncled that an experienced nurso i'hould he appointed at a. salary of £ 25 per itniiiiiii. a cook at a salary of £ 20, in- ete-ad of LIS as hitherto. The commitiiee also recommended that three guardians be appointed to pay periodical visits) io t.h-c house without giving notice. Mr. Skinner said it would be better if these applications oarue before the Board, anel then they would know what they were doing. The cook, lie said, was always leaving, and he thought that if this course was followed, a more satisfactory state of things would 1'00ult.-It I gs WOU I ( I waii dceided to leave the matter in the hands of the committee. INTRODUCTION OF POLITICS. I Mr. Williams, Buckley, moved t.ht "This Boai d of Guardians cordially supports the Government Licensing Bill as a mc tgure, of i-eform, and believing that its object is to de- crease poverty and pauperism and its cost to the ratepayers. He urged that the resolution should not 1)8 looked at from a political spirit. He considered there was no one bolter able to express an opinion on the Bill than t.ho guar- dians of the cGuritiy. They never attended a mooting without hearing or seeing evidence of the ravages of drink. Tho ory 0 for such a came from the prisons, workhouses, infirmaries, and different c-ourts of the country. If the Licensing Bill was carried into law, he thought it would tend io lift tire moral aspects oi" national life. -AIr. S. Man'ey .^tcoiided. Mr. J. Wright said lie would not like (o in- troduce politics into their meetings, but, from other standpoints he supported the resolution. Mr. Fox thought it a pity that the resolution had been brought iut,c t.he meoç,ting, t,,)(1au&e he did not see how it could be introduced, or how they could pledge themselves to support the measure. He did not think a board of guar- dians was the place for such a resolution. Mr. R. G. Roberta oaid it might be a. little disappointing that the question had been raised, Go cause it was bound to have some political bearing. He thought all members of the Boal-J would agree the need for temperance to deal with the evils of drink would result in some controversial feeling. On that ground ho thought they had made a in introduc- ing th? subject. Mr. Sksnncr said he had every sympathy for the- resolution as far i.3 the objects of the Bill concerned, but he did not think it should bo introduced into tho meeting. Mr. Spencer was ?orry the resolution had been put on the agenda. It might establish a pre- cedent whioh would not contribute to the har- mony of their meetings. Mr. Viokc-rs tilvought it the right thing to do. If tha.t Bill had been brought in by any Government it was th.l r duty to support it. He thollght. the resolution would do an amount of good, and by all m-cians it should bo passed. Mr. Hampton was strongly opposed to any- thing political coming before tho Boa.rd, and he moved that the resolution, being of a politi- cal nature, be not put before the Board. Mr. Spencer seconded. Mr. Oathorall s-aid there was one phrase of the BiU which appealed to him. and that was that a»ss?s3merit compensation should be paid on the smiin L¥d, which wouid benefit thg ratepayers. The Chairman he was not a bigot, and to say that he was a teetotaler was not strictly correct. During the whole of his business as a farmer ho had. done what, scarcely any ot.her farmer of a similar magnitude had done, and had itevar tempted his men by giving them in- toxicants during the harvest, but the-v had something in lieu, and he had been fully eom- pensated. He was asked about that resolution at the last meeting, and he replied that he did not wish to introduce politice into the Board. although his sympathies wore in a groait mea- sure with temperance. He had hoped that Mr. Williams would have dropped the matter. Mr. Hampson said the members who opposed the resolution had oli-ewn the strictest modesty, and did not inUoduoe any points of the Bill at aEI, but the other side had discussed it in detail, whtcit was unfair and uncharitable. JMr. Williams said he had mentione d nothing political, and he was sorry the resolution had been looked upon from a political standpoint. On being put to the meeting it WM carried by nine votes to eight. It was decided to send a copy of the .esolution to the Prime Minister, Mr. Herbert- Lewis and A-fr. Balfour. A Mombrt: And Mr. Idris. (Laughter.) DISTRICT COUNCIL. HALF-YEARLY PRECEPTS. Tho mooting of the Dist-riet Council was afterwards held, Mr. Fryer presiding.—The C.oik said the, half-yearly precepts were as fol- lows:—Getieratl expenses: Hawardon J6461, Hope £ 270, Kinnerton JEM.

A Ccuncil 'Tieeting of tiie S&iiitary In spectore' As-ociation was heid, and later tea was kindly provided by Mess s. Kydd and Kydd. It was moved by Mr. Urquhart that the beet thanks of the meeting be given to Messrs.

Liverpool, on "Inspection ot Public Elementaiy Sehoe1 The speaker commented upon the recent p-^i'ion ta!CC!1 up by the Boird of 17dtieaticn with respect to the medical inspection of schooi childier., a-k-o the sanitjry condition of the schools themselves. He eaid tire medical man would direct his at- tention to the health of the children while the work of the sanitary inspector would be to improve the sanitary conditions of the schools, having regard to the ya.rd paving, drainage, water supply, cloakroom, lavatory accommo- dation, ventilation, etc. Their powers of entry to schools were well defined under the Public Health Act., 1815, section 4, and in the future they would be required to go into thi-s ques- tion il a more thorough -and comprehensive manner. Mr. Fallows said they must look to the headmaster of the sohoale, also tho care- taker for co-operation, and the examination of pri vat schools and Sunday schools must not be overlooked. The air of all schoolrooms should be examined micorscopically. A wet and dry bulb thermometer should be provided to shew the amount of moisture in the atmos- phere. The present system of oioakrooe.b could be improved. The cilothes were fre- quently found on t.he flcor, or, if on a peg, covered with the clothes of another child. A separate cipooard should be provided for each child, und.-r lock and key, numbered, each child to be held responsible, each child to bring a clean to wo! and brush every Monday morntng. The speaker considered drait.s should be flushed monthly, and each school •should bo disinfected every holiday. There should be no stort.ge cisterns, and the water supply should be dirc-ct from the main. Classes in hygiene and sanitation might be formed for teaoheis and scholars. A discussion followed, about ton members taking part.

DISTRICT COUNCILS. I A HOOLFi TTUBAtST. E- 3D. INCREASE IN RATES. I PROBLEM OF ISOLATION. I The monthly meeting of the IIoolo Urban I Council was held on Monday, the newly-elected chairman (Mr. R. Wallace) presiding, Mr. H. Crowder moved the following motion, of which he had given notice:—"That no patient shall be ordered to tho Isolation Hospital when proper provision for isolation is obtainable at their homes. (2) This Council can only recog- ¡ nise removal orders given by our own medical officer after interviewing' tiie patient. (3) Main- tenance charges in hospital shall be paid by this Council from the general district funds, with the exception of destitute and other cases moved for the pleasure and comfort of those respon- to;bl,o" Mr. Crowder elaborated tho points in his resolution, and reviewed the history of the problem of isolation, arguing that the Council had no power to pay for a person who could reasonably or properly be isolated at home. The effect of tho resolution, he declared, was that in future every case would have to bo examined by the medical officer, any person who could be reason- ably isolated at home would be left at home and not. sent to the isolation Hospital, while a person who was sent and could be reasonably accom- modal.ed must bear the expense, because they were legally responsible, and not the Council, They had every reason, he thought, tooomplairi of the present Isolation Hospital charges. Beforo the hospital was built- they paid the Infirmary authorities 17, 6d. per week for the patients, while when they removed to the Isc??tion Hos- pital they paid £ 2. 2s. Now they retained four ? beds at the hospital at an annual charge of Elco, and they paid for each case the maintenance < fee I of £ 1. 5a. 9d. per week. He thought that thi? charge was extravagant. It wia most unfair II that the district should be more or ic&s tied to the Chester Corporation in their extravagance, and they had every right to protest. Mr. Richmond formally seconded, though he did not agree with the resolution. Dr. Butt, the medical officer, at the request of the Council, explained h view on the matter. Dealing with the finsfc point, he said it war. the usual custom in that district and throughout the country for the medical profession when notifying a case of infectious diseaso to State on the form whether they wished the patient to be removed, and if they did not the matter rested with the medical officer. If they wished the patient to be moved they did ao, and he did not think it wou'd be right for him or the Council to take the responsibility of not doing so. because medical men would not order the removal of patients if it was not. for their good and that of the neighbourhood. (Hear, hear.) Isolation was a big term, and though the patients might be properly isolated, if the attendants were not and mixed up with the out- side public, infection might spread. Hit, advice was that they (should do nothing whatever to dis- courage the removal of infectious disease cases to the Isolation Hospital, if they wished not co have epidemics in the "district.. Discussing the second point, he said he could find nothing in the regulation duties of the medical officer of health compelling him to interview patients. He had never interfered with other doctors' cases. It would be a serious thing if he had to interview patients, and it would not bo in the interests of the patient or the district that ho should do ouch a thing. The question of cx- pense had nothing- to do with him, but he should like to fee the time when the cost of Isolation Hospital cases would be paid out of the rates. If this could not be done, they might devise some sliding scale, regulating the charge accord- ing to the p.8.1 ients means. But, he conelueled, do no discourage tho removal of patients to the Isolation Hospital, because if you do anything to prejudice the removal of patients you are morally responsible. Mr. Walton moved a direct negative to the resolution, and ea:-d they should support their medical officer up to the h ill, as the existing system worked very well. Mr. Croydon pointed out that the difference in the cost of the cawea treated at the Infirmary and the Isolation Hospital would be that they would have to contribute their share lowanls the building and furnishing of the l.11:w.r. I, A general and prolonged d?cu?-ion endued, the consensus of opinion being that home isolation via., attended with danger, and oil the qucôlion of payment that those should pay who could, and those who could not should be re- lieved. M I-. Crowder, replying to the discussion, stated that he had desired adding to his reso- lution that regulations fixing a sliding f,caic should be prepared. The Cicrk the legal aspect, pointing out that the majority of patients were young children, anel they could recover the cost of removal only when it had been with the consent and approval of the patients. They had no power to make a special scale of charges: they must. treat each case on its merits. On a vote being- taken, only Mr. Crowder voted for hi" motion, the remainder voting again.-t, and ir was therefore lu«t. 1 LIGHTING OF THE DISTRICT. The minute;; of a recent special meeting of the Council, held in private, shewed that the lighting question had been considered, and it was agreed that a contract should bo accepted with the Chester Gas Company for a ten years' supply of gai at the slightly increased charge of B2. 17s. 7d. per lamp (including the cost of the iron columns, which wouiid be spread over the p-eriod). A motion to re-open negotia- tions with Chester on the question of the stip- ply of eleelricitv was defeated. HIGHEST RATE EVER LEVIED. I It appeared also trom these minutes that the I estimates had been adopted and a general dis- trict rate of 3s. 6d. in the £ agreed upon. This is an increase of 3d. in the £ Mr. Crowder, in moving that the general district rate of 3s. 6d. in the £ be adopted, ex- plained that only ir. 1884 and 1895 were there rates of 3s. 4d. in the £ so that the present was the highest rat-ü ever levied in Hoole. To outsiders this figure might appear rather ex- travagant, but councillors woutid agree with him that there was absolutely no alternative for the Council but to levy the rate. There were many reasons why they were put in that somewhat faV-e position. Isolation hospital ehargeu were estimated at £ 250, an increase over last year of -6130, but if they were in- creasing in that respect ihev hoped that the new arrangement would result in the saving of 2id. on the poor rate in rcspect of those charges. (Hear, he^r, and "Queetion."j Then they were bound to pay the great increased I charges for sewage disposal. In- 1905-6 this oost. £ 627, and for 1908-9 the figure was £ 870, which was an increase over las'- year's figure of practically Id. in tho £ so that this, with the iso'ation charges, accounted for the in- I crease, and they weie chargcs for which t-liey were in no way responsible. Last year they paid C297 for lighting; this year £ 312. With regard to scavenging and watering they were making every possible effort to make a great change wiv.hin the next twelve months. Mr. Richmond, in s2c,ondj HZ, endorsed all that had bean raid, remarking that of the 3s. 6d. they had to pay Chester ail most Is., white 4d. was for gas and 3d. for isolation hospital charges. It was their misfortune that they had to pay Chester through the nose for the latter'? extiavagance. Mr. W. Williams said they were practically helpleeo In 1902 their ratable value was £ 18,400, the district rate 3s. Id., and they f-t cl E470 for sewerage purposes; now the ratable vailue had increased by only £ 800 and the district rate was 3s. tel., th, sewerage rate having risen practically 6d. in the £ within the I six Tli2 Chairman intimate! that next year ,hrec loans expired. Jn their administration of tiie I district they had been very careful, in Fact. tco careful, and the district was suffering as a consequence of their not spending more money. The motion adopting a general district rate of 3J. 6d. in th.e £ wa.s carried TAUYIN RURAL. I ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. A meeting of this Council was held on Satur- day. On the proposition of Mr. W. E. Lea (Rowton), seoorxled by Mr. J. Piggofct, Mr. Jolin Jones (Saighton) was re-elected to the chair for the onsing year. An amendment, by Mr. Peter; Hate. seconded by Mr. Albert Lowe, in favour of Mr. T. Wal ker\s election, was defeated by 19 yotew to eiyht..—On the t-ropewitiou of Mr. R. Cathcart Smith, seconded by Mr. W. lea, Mr., Walker waa unanimously elccted vicc-chairman. --The several committees were rc-clected for the ensuing yoar, Mr. Matthews being appointed on the Farndon Right-of-Way Committee in placo j of Mr. Lewis, who had retired from the Council. NEWTON WATER Sl-PPLY. The Newton-by-Tattenhall Water Committee reported that Mr. George Barbour had offered to lease to the Council for 99 years at £ 5 a year R plot of land consisting of a bout ten porches for erecting works for a water supply, and that he was willing to allow the land to be used in tho meantime for the purpose of a trial boring. The committee recoommended the acceptance of Mr. Barbour's offer, and the enter- ing into a lease if water were found in ouffi- cient quantity and of suitable quality on tho site. 1 ho Chairman ,-aid if a water supply could be obtained here tho Council would save an initial outlay of £ 150 and a further sum of £ 7 a year. They were therefore obliged to Mr. Barbour for Ids offer. The Clerk (Mr. H. Grant Bailey) said the original estimated cost of the whole works was £ 1,300, which included the cost, of boring. The recommendation was confirmed, and tho engineer was instructed to invito tenders for the work of trial boring. ALLEGED TARVIN ENCROACHMENT. Tho C;erk read letters which had been re- ceived by the County Council from tho Tarvin Parish Council, protesting against tiie act ion of the Rural Council in not taking action ae to an alleged encroachment by Mr. WTooeicock at Tarvin, and calling attention to another en- croaohment in the neighbourhood. It was decided to adhere to the former division, the Chairinan remarking- that to take action would involve heavy expenditure, probably without anv satisfactory result. A KELSALL COMPLAINT. A lengthy communicarion was road from Mr. I G. R. mirh, Kelsail, complaining of several alleged n uisances in the village, and declaring that the condition of the Old Chester-road was an absolute disgrace to any corporate body in receipt of rates. He asked what benefit the ratopayerM of the neighbourhood obtained from the rates taken from tiiem. The Surveyor (Mr. Piggottj ,-aid it the Council did all Mr. Smith wish eel they wcrdd have to have a sewerage scheme, which they couid get along moderately without. Mr. R Cathcart Smith: I suppose ho is only a small ratepayer? The Surveyor: Yes: £ 15 or £ 20. Mr. Piggott added that an outbreak of ^earlct fever com- plained of in the letter luiel nothing to do wirh a ditch as alleged. Mr. Cathcart Smith: Oh. it is rubbish from beginning to end. The consideration of the letter was deferred till the next mooting.

Ffoulkes, who ifos been the local president and secie.'ary for the past year, was read by Mr. Atiivrley on hor behalf. It suited that the members wore satisfactory, and the progress of work in the ward shewed a great advance. The- h-ctureo and entertain- ments during the vr-ar had proved popular and instruct ive. Dr. Bridge's concert- in the Music Hall in Febiua y, when Mr. Lesley Wright- c, a hxttue on the necessity of a fiscal change, with magic lantern slides, was very much enjoyed, and did considerable good. Tho helpers at the various entertainments were j cordially thanked. The hon. treasurer (Miss M. Comber) shewed a very satisfactory statement of accounts, and this, with the report, was cordially accepted. Miss Jocv-lyn Ffoulkes was elected local president and representative, Misa M. .Comber tr-co-uro;. and tho secretaryship was again piopo-eod for Miss Ffoulkes. though it was felt she should not leallv be asked again to combine both offices, but that a new lady K-cre- taiv should be invited to accept this post- The committee were again appointed amid applause.

I NEW CHAIlnIA OF JUSTICES. A MR. R. T. RICHARDSON APPOINTED. On Saturday, at the Chester Petty Sessions, Col. Evaiia-Lloyd announced his retiic-ment from the po-ition of chairman of tho bench, which appointment- he has held since the lamented death of Mr. John Thompson. It appeared that a special meeting of the justices had been held previous to the sitting of the court, whc-n there were present Col. Evans-Lloyd, Col. Wilford N. LLoyd, and Messis. J. G. Frost. B. C. Roberts, J. M. Frost, the Hon. Cecil 1'. Parker, and Messrs. J. W. Macfie, R. P. Wholley and R. Wallace.—It; wtu proposed by Mr. B. C. Robert*, seconded by the Hon. Cecil T. Parker, and unanimously agrrt-d, that Mr. R. T. Richardson be appointed chairman of the Petty ) Sessions, to take office from Saturday fortnight. iti making the announcement public at tho commencement of the business of the court, Col. Enws-Ll0yd, who wa3 in the chair, said they all welcomed Mr. Ri char droit, whom they knew as a capable and able magistrate. Ha (Col. Evans-Lloyd) had' been p'eased to occupy the position since Mr. Thompson's death, but lie had asked for his name to be withdrawn, partly [(f" reasons of Anno Domini and a loo that ho was awav from Chester several months in the year. I Although the Colonel used his age as one of ih-o reasons for his retirement from the chair- mariship, his fellow-citizens know he bears his years lightly. He will be 82 on June 2nd. but his erect figure and robtut appearance would give the public a very different impression. The other n ason. tho Colonel's periodical absence f: om Chestc-r, is much more cogent. For six months in the year he resides at Bala, so that he is justified in asking release from his posi- tion in the chair. Colonel Evans-Lloyd has been on the commission of the i>eace for Merioneth- shire for a considerable period, and &its on the bench at Bala regularly. Mr. R. T. Richardson was the next- mugistiafe in seniority on tho bench. He is a regular at'tend-ant at. the court, and wiH, no doubt, prove a most capable chairman and a worthy successor to the late Air. John Thompson. i
