I ANCIENT EflARGAIVh Ic i Interesting Lecture at 11' ? Swansea. Mr. P. J. Burton (Skelty) lectured on Borne Margam Records," at tho Swan- Ma Public Library on Saturday evening. and dealt with his subject in a most in- teresting manner. Mr. J. Rhys Davies presided over a good j attendance. 1 Mr. Burton drew principally upon 1 c. Clark's Charters of Glamorgan for his j Matter, and showed the dry bones of his- ? tory clothed with living flesh. Speaking ? the founding of ths Abbeys of ??at? I and Margam in 112? and 1147, he said the i lands were given by Robert of Gloster, a fion of Ilenry I., and the grants confii-iiied, by his son, William oi feloster, in a tuavter, which reads: Knew that I have given and granted and by these letters confirmed, unto God and tho Church oi the Blessed Mary and Margam and the Monks there serving God, all the laud and the mountains within these bounds, to wit, from the lower ridge of the moun- tarns to the upper ridge oi the mountains to the source of the Kenfig; and from the J Bourco of the Frude! across the mountain J to the Ford of KeweHtie to Avan, and ? < thence as the waters run down to the sea, If to be held freely and quietly and without n toiy worldly service." I POWER LN SOUTH WALES. I i The lecturer said the monks who settled there were of the Cistercian Order, who ? ?*??e from Savigny in France, and under ?7? guidance the Abbeys of Neath and lta?rgam came to be a po?er in South ? j '"alee. Many of the monks were Welsh- | ??n, and mnny of the ?ifts of bnds. etc., :¡ ^re mads by Welshmen. Many other if j 'nteresting facts were deduced by the lee- hIrer as to how the monks obtained their ";¡nd and goods in those early days. In -0i we find the monks of Margam paying 3. a. Near for lands in Kenfiff occupied ■ >i y TWvei&hmen, and then purchasing these lands outright for 100 marks and two good ?orsp?

The charter, of the date 1153-1184, is addressed b ythe Earl to all his Barons and Burgesses and Men as well English as Welsh," and reads: "Be it known unto you all both French and English that I have granted and confirmed unto the Burgesses of Swansea these cus- tome ,to wit, To every burgess a burgage (or borough holding) with all their c-p- purtences, to wit, their supplies and to each one seven acres beyond the wood above Burlack Broke and the pastures as far as Haekedewye and as far as Lyn and as far as St. David's ditch. and the woods all round my borough to feed their cattle as far as they can go in the day and return the same night homo, and their swine in my wood freely and quietly with- out custom. They may have or build their houses and fences and ships paying for a ship 12d. And every other wood for their firos. I have granted unto them all the sands between Pwlkanan and Blackpill to make their fisheries." The sands between Pwlkanan and Blackpill still remain, eaid the lecturer, and it would bo interesting to know how and when our rights to make fisheries there passed away. The lecturer afterwards r-poke of the opening up of mines as far I back as 125.'?, and of a coal pit mentioned in 1519 as being among the boundaries of land known as ren-?yth. Many other interesting facts rdnting to the monks of the time—especially a? farmer, gardener, ?nd nshermen. were given, and the audi- ence were much entertained by many a good story told of those early days. A pleasant and profitable evening was brought to a close by a hearty vote of thanks to the lecturer.

I QUESTION-TIME./
I QUESTION-TIME. I Important Enquiries in Commons. Important questions were down to be asked when Parliament reassembled to- day. Among them are the following:— What action is to be taken to make the Profiteering Act effective ? When will the Milner Commission pro- coed to Egypt? Whether, in view of the present finan- cial conditions, it is still proposed to set up new authorities in the place of exist- ing Boards of Guardians. Will the Government proceed with the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Bill? Will legislation be introduoed to deal with the menace to the safety of the realm and the prosperity of the country of lightning strikes? What precautions are being taken to guard the ex-Kaiser and the ex-Crown Prince ? When enemy commanders, officers, and officials who arc known to have commit- ted crimes will be brought to trial? I COST OF RAILWAY STRIKE. What was the approximate cost, directly and indirectly, to the State of the recent railway strike? How many houses have been erected in accordance with the 1,837 approved schemes covering 6ome 21,400 acres? Sir William Joynson-Hicke will inquire whether it is the intention of the Govern- ment to use any, and if so which, of the national factories for the manufacture of railway rolling stock. To-morrow the Government will take the War Emergency Laws (Continuance) Bill. The two greatest deivs of the Parliamen- tary week will, of course, be on Wednes- day and Thursday, when the discussion on national expenditure will take place.

I LADY RHONDDA.-I
I LADY RHONDDA. I I Big Interests in Canada. I I Headed by Lady Ralonilaa, an im- P' vtant mission into the far west of Canada has made an exhaustive investi- gation into the immense possibilities of the Peace River district, a great tract of fertile territory lying to the north- west of the Province or Alberta riki north of British Columbia, where coloni- sation of Britishers has but yet cnlv been touched on the fringe. The llhontida Corporation, with whom V iscbuntess. Rhondda is closely connec- ted, already has big holdings in this out- pest of the British Empire, and it was to thoroughly investigate the situation that Viscountess Rhondda, Sir Humphrey Mackworth, and the Dowager Lady RhondJa have paid the present visit to Western Canada. When the Rhondda party reaches England, says a correspondent,, some striking proposals will be laid before the Rhondda Corporation by the Viscoun- tess, as she is enthusiastic over the de- velopment of the Peace River country. When Viscountess Rhondda arrived at Vancouver, in art interview she said:— There will be development work under- taken in the Peace River country before long by the interests which I represent, but just what that work will be has yet to be decided pfter we return to England I and discuss the matter in conference."
"ABSOLUTE FARCE."I
"ABSOLUTE FARCE." I Pembrokeshire and Treat- I ment of Tuberculosis. Since PMnbrokeshirö severed its connec- tions with the Welsh Memorial Associa- tion. an alarming state of things has arisen in that county, which found expres- sion at a meeting of the County Insurance Committee held at Haverfordwest on Saturday afternoon. In the absence of Mrs. Peerless, Tenby, Mr..Skyrme moved a resolution referring to the H serious and most deplorable con- ditions throughout Pembrokeshire at the present treatment of insured and unin- sured persons suffering from tuberculosis wilfully neglected by the present County Council system in ccnsequence of which the" committee deem it expedient at the earliest possible date to revert back or to rescind previous resolutions and arrange- ments with the County Council in order to make bptter arrangements for persons I suIT. Nin from this disease or revert to the memory as U]p only alternative." II ABSOLUTE FARCE." I Speaking to the resolution, Mr. Skyrme said that the County Council scheme for the treatment of tuberculosis had been an absolute farce. At Pembroke Dock, with a population of 15,000, they had 112 certified cases of tuberculosis, which meant on the basis of population 700 cases in the county of Pembroke. There was no doubt that the number was much higher, as Pembroke Dock was one of the health- iest towns in the county. Pembrokeshire was one of the black counties s far as this disease was concerned, yet the Tuber- culosis Committee had not held a single meeting for two years. Mr. Hancock seconded. The Chairman (Mr. Saunders) thought the terms of the resolution, very much ex- aggerated. Owing to the war the County Council had been considerably handi- canixKl in proceeding with their scheme. MOTION WITHDRAWN. I Dr. Morgan, the recently appointed medical officer of health, said that owing to the war other counties bad suffered similarly to Pembrokeshire. It was only now that things were being reconstructed. It seemed to him that it would be an enor- mous waste of money to go in for any wild ept scheme without considering the cost. The cost of building materials is now almost prohibitive. He hoped that in a very short time the committee would be able to do something very materially to help these unfortunate people. Mr. Skyrme then withdrew his motion.

ORDER OF ST. JOHN. I Status of Welsh Priory. I In London on Saturday, an important conference of the Welsh Priory of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem was held, wlwn the main question under discussion concerned the status of the 11elsli Priory of the Order under the control of the Joint Committee appointed at the com- mencement of the war to organise affairs of both the Order of St. John and the British Red Cross Socitey. Last Sep- tember the Enabling Act perpetuated the existence of the Joint Committee, conferring upon it the power of disposal the funds of the Order generally re- maining after the war. I WELSH PRIOHY PREJUDICED. 1 I nder this A, et it \>tR telt .that tho position of the Welsh Priory would be d ei- a j6itit prejudiced by the merging uuder a joint committee, and the conference, which was private, was the opportunity for ex- pressing strong protest against this eventuality. The secretary at the close told the Press that a deputation to consult with the.ChanceHor of the Priory (Mr. Lloyd I George) and a deputation to the Grand Prior of the Main Order had been ap- pointed.
