School Board charges.—The clerk produced a bill he had received from the Dyffiyn School Board containing a charge of zCl 9" Od for chililren attending their schools. The auinunt became due on the 31st of last August, and as this claim had oot sent it until the present time it was overdue. The accounts ought to be sent quarterly and he (the clerk) "id not feel justified iu paying it without first briogiug it before the notice of the board. The board decided that a cheque for the amount should be .cnt. *'?t(<MX.< F?nM.-Mr D. Jones call?d attention to the extras charged by the medical ofiicers in their bills. He found that this item of the Barmouth officer amounted t. "7 IS. and that of the Dolgelley ofifcer to C4 la., which showed a difference of £3 5. between the two. He thought the clerk ought to write especially to the Bar- mouth medical oiffcer to inquire why the expenses were so high.—The Clerk though, that perhaps the relieving officer could affiird some information on the subject.— Mr D. Junes held that it would be better to receive a statement from the medical officer him.e!f.-The Clerk s iii he saw a clurge in the accounts of £3 for setting a fractured thigh, which he thought would explain part of the extia cost.—Mr G. Williams referred to the bill and found that it was the case of a labourer at Dyffiyn, who bad met with an accident. He had beeu a pauper previously to the accident, and when that occurred he was made one attain.— The Chairman said he didnotsee that the board should be burdeued with lunati^cs and people who broke their thighs from DyftVyn. Suppose they (the guardians) all became lunatics—perhaps they were for that matter (a laugh).—Ultimately the subject was deferred for further inquiries. Correspondence.Tbe Clerk read a letter from the Local Government Board with reference to the proposal to unite the several sauitary districts in the county of Merioneth in accordance with the provisions of the 28th action of the Public Health Act. The board hav:ng regard to the objection raised to the proposal by the Dul- gelley Rural"Solitary AutUnrity have postponed their decision in the matter that it might be further consid- ered. They in the meantime recommended the guard- ians to make some temp orary arrangement for the discharge of the requirements of the Health Act.-A letter was also read stating that the sum of C46 ge 6d had been paid by the Local Government Board to the treasurer of the union (Mr Ebeuezer lieei), being the sum allowed by P«nlUmeut towards the salaries of medical and sanitary officers, for the year ended Sep- tember, 1875. The Ilight of a Ratepayer.-A letter from Mr John Jones, Biynadda, Dulgelley was read. Mr Jones requested that he might be supplied with a copy of the Contract for the rating ??f the union, for bi8 perusal. He bdi-ycd tbataa a ratepayer he WM entitled to this 1)riv?l,g??, aud m.dertook to return the copy if sent to him —The C!erk ,aid be b"d nothing but the origm.d contract in his possession, which he could not let out of his hands, and he had written to Mr Jnel to apprise him of this. H e also read the Act of Parliament, which provided that such matters should be referred by the clerk to the guardians, with whom the granting or refusal of such applications would rest.—The Chairman thought that at the present time it would not be desir- able to grant the application, and it was accordingly refused The F.ever Ward*.—The report of the vi.si.ti.ng com- mittee was read, which stated that there was a good deal of leakage in tikti fever wards, and some of the walls of the house were in a da-np condition. Some pointing was also needed ou the exterior of the build- ing. Too house was in other respects in good order.— The master said the repairs would cost from X] 1 to £13, Utt that this was not /("od time of the year for such work to be carried out, owing to the injurious effect of frost.-Oii the motion of Mr David Jones, seconded by Mr John Jones, it was decided that the attention of Mr Humphreys, llie buildei, bt. at one** t illed to the imper- fect way in which the work of the fever wards had been carried out, and that he be requested to appear at the next board meeting. Sanitary Committee.—Mr David Jones proposed that the sanitary committee should meet after the next board meeting, and that the sanitary inspector should be required to report the number of farm houses which were without proper privy accommodation.—In reply t>> the Chairmau, the inspector said he had repoited a great many cases to tire committee. (Tbe reports were produced.) There had. however, been a large number of privies erected during last year.—Mr D. Jones said it was no use of the. board to employ an inspector un- less they supported him by giving notice to the default- ing parties whom he reported.—The Chairman Of course he should be backed up iu his work. Mr Jones' proposal was accordingly agreed to. The Valuation Question.—The Clerk having intimated that Mr Gisborne had indicated a desire to refer this matter to arbitration, contrary to bis former inclination, the board decided to leave the subject in the hands of Mr G. J. Williams, and let it take its ordinary course. Attendance of Guardians.—The following are the returns of the attendances of guardians for the year ending March 25th, 187t) Mr Lewis Williams, 3; Mr W. W. E.

Will you be good enough to convey to the guardians my best thanks for the kind terms in which they refer to the termination of my official con- nection with the union. I am much gratified by this expression of their friendly feeling, and shall always be sensible of the indulgence aud kindness that I have ex- perienced officially and personally for so many years. To you and to the other officers of the union, I desire to express my thanks for the efficient help that lias always been afforded to me in the discharge of my duties. I am, my dear sir, very faitlifidly yours, ANDREW DOYLK.—Mr It O. Jones." Jncrease of Sala.ries.—Applications for an increase of salary from the matron and nurse of the house we re- read by the clerk. The letters pointed out the low rate of wages the applicants were receiving in comparison with the rates paid in other unions of the county, and called the attention of the board to the great increase of duties in connection with the house.—The Board after a brief discussion, and a statement by the clerk of sal- aries paid in other unions to the matron and nurse, de. cided to increase the Balary of the matron from £18 to t20 per annum, and that of the nurse from X12 to £1¡¡ Attendance of Guardians.—The following are the re- turns of attendance of guardians during the year ending March, 1876 :-Arthur Jones, 9, Aberditron Evan Evans, 14, Aberdaron Griffith Griffith, 21, Abererch Hugh Davies, 17, Abererch; ll«r.

Seven vagrants were admitted aud discharged during the tirst week of the fortnight, and twelve during the second week. The I'reasurerskip of the Union.-The Chairman said that at the last meeting, Col. Vincent Williams having resigned the appointment of treasurer of this union, which he had held with much satisfaction to this board for great number of years, he gave notice that at this meeting he would propose that Mr J. H. A. Hall, the present manager of Messrs Williams & Co. 's Bank, Bangor, who had been their treasurer since the com- mencement of the union, be appointed treasurer of the union instead of Col. Williams. Mr Hall had desired him (Mr Bicknell) to state that his Kuarantees would be Col. Owen Cope Williams and Mr Ormus Hiddulph, Chester. He moved that Mr Hall be appointed treas- 13' 1 r couded, and the motion was carried };:i.eco:1 t:o m w;Irr thanks of thie board be fiveu to Col. Williams for his attention to the duties of treasurer for such a number of years. He was sure they all feit extremely obliged to him-Seconded by Mr Llewelyn Lewis, and carried. — Col. Williams said he was very much obliged to them for the kind expression of their thanks. He did not think they were due to him alone, but he had endeav- oured to do the duties of his office to the best of his ability, and he believed that things had gone straight since the bank had been treasurers. He was glad that tbe board had shown their appreciation of the way in which the bank-not he-had conducted the business for the last forty years. Tite Collectorthip of LI an del fan.—Having given Mr William Humphreys, the newly appointed collector of Llandegfan, another opportunity of showing his know- ledge of accounts, the clerk reported that he had only a moderate knowledge,—The Rev. H. Davies Owen proposed that the board endorse the clerk's opinion but the guardian of the parish (Mr 0, Owen) just then came iu aud bauded the chairman Mr Humphreys' resignation. The Chairman lead the resignation, in which Mr Humphreys returned his sincere thanks for the ki.d.?.. of ?h. g..?di. hi. election.—The C ?,irwau then propcped that Mr John Morgan, Beau- maris, be appointed collector of rates for the parish of LUndegfaQ. The guardian of the parish had iuformetl the chairman that the parshioners had no person in view.—Capt. Bulkeley Hughes seconded the cbairman's proposition, which was agreed to.—Capt. Bulkeley HugheR considered something must be done as to the collection of rates. There were some swall parishes in which the collectors were paid X20 a year for collecting £2uO, and Borne applications were likely to be made for iucrease of payment. He therefore considered they should move to have districts amalgamatad for the pur- poses of collection.—Iu reply to Capt. Verney the Chair- man said that the average percentage was 4 or 5 per cent., but Col. Williams said (hat in the case of Llao- degfan, for instance, it was only 2 or 21 per cent.— Capt. Verney considered there was no public body 80 liable to be earwigged as boards of guardians, and therefore there was all the more necessity for their having hard and fast lines to go by Mr HugU Jones, Fodol, Llandegfan, the late collector, applied for his salary for two months and eleven days.—The accounts bud not beea audited; therefore no salary could be paid. Increase of salary .—A letter was read from the Local Government Board approving of the proposal of the guardians to inert ase the salary of Mr ll. B. Evan-, col- lector of rates for Llanliechid, from £G5 to £85 per auuum. Repayment from Government.—The Local Government Board informed the guardians that tbe board had repaid X9, the amount repiyable to them in respect to the additional fees paid to the registrars of births and deaths for the past year. Payment for grave digging.—A letter was read from the Rev. Mr Edwards, Llanfairpwllgwyugyll, stating that the sextons of that parish and Llandysilio com. plained that their pay for digging the graves of paupers was much too little, aud when he complained to them that a grave wis not deep enough, they siiiii that the fee, 2M fld, was too small. It took a day to open a grave properly, and the man in attending the funeral lost another half day.-In reply to the chaiiman, Mr Owen, governor of the workhouse, said that the charges for paupers in Bangor cemetery were 54 for opening the grave and 3. for re-opening. These graves were seven or eight feet deep.—Major Platt proposed that the sum paid for digging pauper graves should be in future for a four feet grave 4s, and 61 for every foot in depth beyond, with 2s 6d for a grave under four feet as before. That would give the sexton 38 for digging the grave* and Is for attending at the funeral.—Mr Roger Evans suggested that the payment should be so much per foot, which would induce the grave diggers to go lower down. The churchyards of the country were now filling fast.— Mr Richard Evans was sure the graves in Anglesey were not on an average deeper than three feet.—The Itev. H. Davies Owen said they were deeper than that, but he knew they were too shallow.—Captain Verney suggested that no grave should be less than four feet deep.—Mr Roger Evans seconded Major Platt's proposition.—Col. Williams moved, as an amendment, that the payment be 311 for a grave of four feet and 9d per foot afterwards, and for three feet 2s 6d as before. This was seconded bv Mr Richard Evans. Mr K. Roberts moved that 8s 6d be paid for a four foot grave, and 9dper foot afterwards; but this was not seconded. For the amendment five voted for the motion (which was carried) ten. Thr Election of Guardians for Bangor Parish.—In reply to Mr Griffith Davies, the clerk said he bad received two nominations, one from Mr William Jones, churchwarden of the pariah of Baugor,givingthe namesof guardians agreed to at the vestry, and another from Mr Lewis Edwards, registrar of births and deaths, Upper Bangor.—Mr Llewelyn Lewis iksked whether a govern- ment official could nominate in local elections.—-The Clerk said he as well as any other ratepayer had that right. Mr Griffith Davies complaiued that this would entail a cost of S20 or £30 on the parish, whilst tbe vestry had agreed upon guardians to avoid an election.—Iu reply to Captain Bulkeley Hughes, tho Clerk said au election would cost more than £ 18.— Captain Bulkeley Hughes considered it was unjusti- fiable for a Government officer to increase the rates iu that way, when the vestry had elected their guardians. He asked whether the ratepayers had not some Uleaos to prevent such a coat being thrown upon the parish. The Chairman replied that any ratepayer had the power to write to the Local Government Board making a complaint. -Col. IVillianis You cannot prevent any ratepayer nominating the only way would be to try to induce withdrawals. Application for an Apprentice.—Mr William Lewis, factory, Glasiufryn, applied for a boy from the work- house. The application was deferred to the next meet- ing for the purpose of instituting inquiries. The board adjourned to that day week to examine the quarterly accounts and issue cheques.

SANITARY BUSINESS.—The medical officer of health reported that in tbe district of Llanbedr ten persons had been attacked with what seemed to him to be a low continued fever, but bad no trace of typhus or typhoid. -Mr H. Davies, inspector of nuisances, also reported that some rumours had reached him with re- ference to another matter. He was admonished by the board not to bring them rumours, but to verify them by inquiries.—Dr. Jenkins utteuded before the board, and 6.id, with reference to the rumour Mr Davits had brought forward in regard to sickness at Cefn Cock, he was in a position to say there had been no disease there. With reference to Llanbedr, the disease there had been an acute influenza, caused by the recent atmospheric obangeL-Dr. William Jones mentioned a case of small pox which had occurred at Llandyrnog, but the suf- ferer* arc now ncoreriuf, uti there WM therefore 80 necessity for any special steps to be taken.— In the course of this discussion, some severe remarks were made with reference to the neglect of taking out a sum- mons against a Mr Thomas Bealey, the owner of some dilapidated tenements in the union, when others were summoned, but no steps were takea. MR DOYLE'S SCØEHE AGAIN.—A letter was received from the Local Government Board with reference to the appoiutment of a district medical officer, in which they stated that in consequence of the epposition by that and other boards they should postpone the soheme 1 for the pre.ent.-Tha Chairman supposed by that letter that the scheme bad been given up entirely, but the Local Government Board inapector said it was merely given up for the next twelve months. THE UNION CONTBACTS.—A discussion then took plaee upon the manner in which the unioa coutracts had baen selected the last quarter.—Mr John Hughes said that the loweEt price should always be accepted, otherwise Iradeamen had no proteeio.Mr H. Powell Jone8 indignantly replied that the contracts had beeu elested last quarter without any favouritism.—Ultimately the committee, Mr J eukins and Mr Hughe., retired into a private room, 6ut Mr Byford and Mr H. Powell Jones declined to go.

-_u_- DENBIGH.—MARCH 27TH. Before Mr Horatio Lloyd, judge. IMPORTANT ACTION FOR TRESPASS AT EKRIVIATT. The court was occupied the greater part of the day with tbe following case, which excited cousiderable interest in the district. Mr John Davies, a well-known farmer, of Groes B3ch, near Denbigh, part of the Erriviatt estate, claimed from Mr A illiams, the present tenant of the estate and shoot- ing pressrves of Erriviatt Hall, omf);e34 10s for damage done to his farm crops by rabbits. Mr W. Davies, Holy- well, appeared for plaintiff and Mr Cartwright, Chester, for defendant. Mr Davies, who made a lengthy state- ment in opening the case, said that Mr Davioe, Groee Boch, had been in occupation for some years of that farm and the right to shoot the rabbits on it he was tenant of Major Ff'.ulkes, the owner of Erriviatt Hall, who had leased his property to Mr Williams, the de- fendant, who was a Liverpool merchant, and the claim was against him for damage doDe to the crops on de- fendant's farm. Defendant went to plaintiti. on June 22, and requested biai to cease shooting the rabbits; if defendant would piy fur any trespass, plaintiff would agree to that. Defendant said be woald pay for what- ever trespass was done if plaiatiff would let him know about harvest time, and he would go over the fields and come to an agreement on the matter. It was agreed in addition to this that if they could not agree it was left to other parties to arbitrate. Upon that agreement no more rabbits were shot by the plaintiff. A letter was sent by plaintiff to Air Williams on August 13 as fol- lows Groes Bach, Dear Sir,—Most likely we shall commence our harvest about the middle of next week, so I must beg you to let me know wheu it will be con- venient. for you. to look over the damage done to my crops by the rabbits." Plaintiff's nephew took the letter and returned with the answer that Mr Williams would not pay for the hvspais as it would be better for him to take possession of the fields aljoining the covers. Mr Armor, auctioneer, Denbigh, afterwards valued the crops that were damaged, and plaintiff wrote to defendant on 14th August-" Dear Sir,— Mr Armor, auctioneer aud valuer, is coming to value the damage made by th^rab- bit. on lilY crops. If you wish to seud soweone to meet him it must be by 11 o'clock on Tuesday next." On the day named Edward Joneis was sent to meet Mr Arm r to value tbe trespaeB, and together they arrived at the amount of £34 1011. Tbey both signed the valuation. A. the plaintiff heard nothing from the defendant sub- sequently to the valuation, plaintiff on 23rdOctober wrote to call his atteution to the account for rabbit trespass and asking for immediate payment, or by tbe following Wednesday. As defendant took n" notice of tbe letter or a succeeding one, he sgain wrote, As you do not consider it prudent to take notice of my application as to the rabbit trcflpasf, I give notice that unleFs you will forthwith pay I shall take legal proceedings to recover the same." Defendant's bailiff and beid keeper quently told him that as his occupation only commenced iu June some of the trespass must have been com- menced before that, and be was willing to pay a part of the claim. On behalf of the plaintiff he contended that the corn was a wn in and April and it must have l>r*eu after June or July that the trespass took place. During awrae conversation between the pa, tie-, the defeu- ,'Lou', oflVred t:20 but the plaintiff refused to take leso than £ 30f iu lieu of the £34 10s. Defendant had admitted that the,. wan aD agreement to pay for the trepa88 as he had paid £10 ituu court. Some discussion thwo took place upon tho question whether the plaintiff 1 should not have sued the owner rather than the tenaut of the estate.—Mr Davies was called and corroburated the opening address of Mr Davies, his solicitor, as to the understanding be and Mr Williams came to as to payment for damage done by the rabbits trespassing. It was entirely on th.t agreement that he gave up the right of shooting. He produced the valuation made by Mr Armor, Deuuigh,and Mr E.Jones,which was for £34 10s and was signed by both, they agreeing as to tbe amount of damage done. The letter. previously read were also pntin, and witness said that defendant and Mr Woolwright (partner with defendant) offered himX20 for the trespM8. When be refused it, they requested him t. sleep over it a week, but he took a month. (L?tught?-.) —Mr D.,i?s A good I.Dg .1?.p ? (Laughter.)—Wit- ness Yes, but I was of the same mind as before. (Laughter.)—Cross-examined: Some years before, Major Ffoulkes had told him that he ws to kill the rabbits on tbat land defendant never told him he had the exclusive right of shooting over the land. Had not told him that he might possibly be induced to pay something, but that plaintiff could not legally claim it. Would distinctly swear that it was agreed between Mr Williams and himself that the matter should be left to valuers if they could not. agree.— Margaret Hughes, domestic servant at Mr Davits', deposed to seeing de- fendant at ber master's house in June last, and that he overheard a conversation between them. Defendant requested her master to desist from killing rabbits on lii-i farm, and he agreed to do so if defendant would pay for damage done by their trespassing. Defendant said he would do so.—Considerable amusement was caused in the court at the close of this witness' evidence when it was found that although Sergeant Lewis had been act- irrg as interpreter, tbe conversation which she bad related took place in English, and she herself was an excellent bl-imguist, and auswered throughout her cross-examination in English.—Edward Jones, nephew of the plaintiff, deposed that he took a note to thede- fendant in August last, in reference to the trespass, and defendant said he would neither pay, nor send or go to see about the damage. Witness told him he had promised to pay his uncle, and defendant admitted the promise. They did not get any rabhits after the agree- ment had been made between the defendant and his uncle. The rabbits shot previous to that were so numerous that he could not count them. His uncle gave lots of rabbits away, and bought beef for use in the bouse. (Laughter.) Mr John Armor, auctioneer and nluer, Denbigh, valued tbe crops in question iu behalf of the plaintiff. He produced the book iu which the agreement to appoiut an umpire in cast he and Mr Jones disagreed was written. It was agreed that the umpire should be Mr Roberts, oi OeiBasfariu. Witness nlso produced tbe particulars of the valuation, and gavo nrWU8 items estimated in each field, the whole came to a total of £32 10e.-Cr"exmiued He found in one of the fields that the wheat crop hid failed, and barley had in consequence been sown over it. He had, however, estimated the damage done to both erop" and of the amount be had put down, halt should be alloted to the wheat and half to the barley, By his Hooour He could not say how much of the clamge was done before June 22nd.-Edward Jones gave corroborative evidence as to the valuation made by Mr Armor; and he was positive he was sent by the defendant's head keeper to assist. He was told by him to estimate the damage done by the rabbits, and he agreed with Mr Armor that the damage amounted to £32 10s; in fact he rather thought it should have amounted to more than that. —He was severely cross- examined with the object of showing that ho had no authority to join in the valuation but simply to go and act as a check ugailtlt Mr Armor, who was acting for the pUintiff. In reply to Mr Cartwright be said be had never been paid for the work he did, but the de- fendant told him he would pay him if he would bring his account to him. He should not think Mr Williams was very angry with him, as he told him to go in and get a glass 01 gin (laughter), and he got a good one too. (Ltugbtei-.)-Plskintiff was re-called and re- examined in respect to the field in which there was wheit and barloy. He said that the crop of wheat failed to grow up, and it was very light land, so he sowed barley on the same land about the first of May. -After an adjournment for luncheou, Mr Cartwright addressed the court and contended that Mr Williams ill the lease he held from Major Ffoulkes, received the exclusive right of shooting and killing tbe rabbits on the whole estater There was also no contract entered into between Air Williams and theplaintifi, for in fact M r Davies had consideration for which to contract- the rabbits were not his to contract about. Really and truly Mr Williams purchased from his landlord the right of Bhootiag, which the plaintiff had no control lover. He then reviewed the evidence that had bee: given for the plaintiff, and said that although the action was in reality one for trespass, Mr Davies, the solicitor fcr the plaintiff, had shifted his ground during the case and endeavoured to prove that the defendant bad entered into a definite contract, and that he Wall COD" sequently responsible for it. He would freely admit that Mr Williams had prom* ed to make some kind of a gift to him, not as COWX.Ition but in order :0 conciliate the farmers round, he being a new comer iu the district. He entirely repudiated the actibn of Jones Jones had no kind of right to go and bind Mr Williams to anything. He was sent down to see what r Mr Armor was going to do and check him in his estimates. Instead of simply doing that,, Jones went in and joiued in sending io a claim tor the two months. Mr Cartwright proceeded to point out that eveH if his client had been responsible for the damage (which be denied) the greater portion of it was done before he came into possession, and while Major Ffoulkes had still the estate in his hands. He had paid £10 into court, which was very much more than ample to pay for all the damage done by him. And he would remind his Hoeour that in the eyes of the law, a tenant suffering damage for game had ne claim upon the person owning the game or rabbits, for the damage sustained. He called Mr Williams, the defendant, who said that he took possession of the Eriviatt Estate on the 3rd June. Plain- tiff was allowed tohave theshootingin his own hands until July 3rd. On that day witness had an interview with him, and told him he intended takiog the rabbits into his own hands, and should employ another man to stop up the rabbit runs in the hedges, &0.; he also said that if there mas any damage doue, lie would make him a present that would cover it. He distioctly told him he would enter into no agreement or coutract. He had never given Jones authority to value. Immediately the valuation which had been produced was put into his hand" be repudiated it. At an interview between the plaintiff, witness and Woolwright, they had told him that they were willing to give him £10 to clear him, and that they might have no unpleasantness. Produced the lease under which he had taken the property, and it contained a clause giving him the exclusive light of shooting. He did not think that the damage from July 3rdtilitiewutborewaa more than £3 or £4.-Mr Woolwright, of Liverpool, partner in the shooting, said Mr Williams took possession of the "booting about the end of JUlie. He remembered an interview with Mr Davies, who complained about the trespass, and witaess offered .£5 as a present, he and Mr Williams being new tenants. Should not think the rabbits eat more than a quarter of grain. He went over the field about the 2211d of May.—Mr Hopkins, bailiff to Mr Williams, said that Mr Williams took possession about the 5th June, and Mr Davies was shooting and trapping rabbits until July. Mr Davies complaiued and said he should mske a claim against Mr Williams. Tae damage was wostly doue before Mr Williams (took possession. There might have been a little damage, but not much. He thought £5 would be plenty for him to pay. Had seen three traps in one hedge, but none after Mr Wil- liams had possession.—John Hughes, keeper to Mr Williams, had been on the estate some six years: Mr Widiams took poseessiop on July 3rd. Davies, the plaiutiff, in Major Ffoulkes' time was in the habit of shooting rabbits. Witness bad a mau for six weeks to make up the hedges. In the fields in question, the rabbits bad iojurc1 the crops before Mr Williams took puBseasion. Mr Williams told him to get a man to go with Mr Armor to value and check him. £5 was about the damage that'should be paid. Never saw rabbets eat the ears of corn.—Joseph Robert', underkeeper, gave similar evidence.—Mr Davies was about to address the court, when his Honour stopped him, saying it might save time if he stated that he was of opinion that there was a contract between Mr Williams and tbe plaintiff-a contract to pay what might be considered a fair estimate of the damage, to be made by an arbitrator. He said he would give such a sum as would cover the damage that might done ill his time, and hia Honour thought the plaintiff was entitled to such aD amount. Whatever the damage by rabbits might amount to, Mr Williams said he would give the plaintiff something to cover it. The only question that remained was as to the amount of damage done, and sbowing itself fairly at tbe reaping of tbe crops.—Mr Davies then urged that the plaintiff's evidence was more to be relied on, as he was more certain as to the conversation, and as to the dates than Mr Williams was.-His Honour in giving judgment, said it was impossible not to see that there had been a giut conflict of evidence, and it was difficult t) cfecide between thew. On the one hand the plaintiff says it was a clear and binding contract as to the compensa- tion that was to be paid Mr Williams, on the other band, says it was not "0. He merely sakI, 4< I will give you something that will represent the amount of damag e done by rabbits." He (the judge) was not satisfied that the contract was to the full extent that the plaintiff had represented. It might appear en at first sight, but there was the fact that Mr Williams when he tirr-tsaw the claim repudiated it. He bad perhaps beeu A little careless in the matter, but even the pUintiff's nephew said that he immediately repudi- ated the claim. That was the view he took of the c.,se. There remained then the question of the defendant having said he would pay something—a fair auicunt- for the damage that had been done, and that was the only question that he had now to decide. It must to a certain extent be guess work for him, but inasmuch as the two arbitrators—Mr Armor aud Mr Jones-had made a valuation, he thought it the fairest to take that as a basis. They went over the farm carefully, fetill it was not binding upon him and was open to review it was never agreed to by Mr Williams, and obviously goi-s beyond the mark. Edwin Joues said, "W" put down all we could see, and we put it flown to Mr Williams." It is quite certain that some damage was done bng before Mr Williams came into possession uf the hnd. They had out down the damage done ever since the crops showed themselves above the ground. Mr Ann*<r said the same as Mr Jones had done; be could not distinguish between what had been done io Mr Williams' or Major Ffoulkes* time. Part "I the j wheit cfop had failed, and barley was put in in March in consequence. That is clearly not chargeable to Mr Williams. It is obvious that Mr Williams was there only for the la8t five or six weeks. It must therefore be to a certain extent guess work on his part. The parties throughout hadostimated half the damage as bting done in Mr Williams' time, and he thought he wmt apply that principle to the whole claim. He thought if he entered judgment for .£17 (i.e., for £7 more than had been paid into court) it would be ample to cover every atom of damage the plaintiff had sus- tained. It would be ample, as the claim was an ex- cessive one, considering the plaiutitf only paid £ 1 per acre rent per annum.—Mr Davies applied that under the circumstances the costs of the case should be allowed.—His Honotir I have given judgment for X17 the plaiutiff offered to the defendant X18 Ius. I shall therefore make no order as to costs, except as to court fees which have been paid out of pocket. Your client should have takes the money that was offered him. The court rose at five p.m.

The case was therefore ditimissed.- David Powell, Llanfair D.C., owner of certain property at the (Jrais;, Lhnfair, was summoned for allowing that property to be in a dilapidated condition,and without privy accommoda- tion,— The evidence of the medical officer showed that the dilapidations hud siucethe issuing of the summons been obviated, and that the defendant had promised to carry out the other matter as soon as possible.—The case was adjourned for a fortnight in order t,, allow the defendant time to fulfil hia promise.

Witness called at Foulkes' house on March 2nd for an explana- tion. Did not see him. He called three times in the day and in the evening and requested him to come oat and give an explanation like a man. Tbat was about half-past seven to eight.

He stayed before witoess' f r several hours and challenged him to fight, and said he and his brother had got bricks to knock witness' head off, and scatter his brains along the street, and lie pnui 1 to finish him off altogether. Witness was in bodily fear of Foulkes and prayed for sureties of the peace.—Cross-examined Did not take off his coat to fight. He merely went and asked for an explanation. Witness walked off directly he found de- fendant was in bed. He did not challenge him to fight. He was certainly afraid (,f Foulkes, especially of his bricks. (Laughter). He never entertained any ill-feel- ing against Foulkes, an t did not take out the summons vindictively, for the purpose of proving malice.—Mr Foulkes called Ann Foulkes, sister of Foulkes, said Dew came to her house on Much 2nd and asked to see her brother be came several times and was quite peace- able. -,Nl.rgaret Aun Foulket, daughter of houlkes, paid that Dew came in the evening and was drunk He then commenced bawliug and wanted her father to come IIut and Ibbt; he called her father a "dirty swindler, the same that day and for ever."
