DOLGELLEY. ASSESSMENT.—A meeting of the Assessment Committee was held in the Town Hall on Saturday to hear and decide appeals. PETTY SESSIONS.—Saturday, the 11th May.—As only one magistrate (Dr. Edward Jones) attended, all the cases were adjourned to the May. PETTY SESSIONS.—The usual petty sessions were to have been held on Saturday, but, owing to the attendance of only one magistrate. Dr. Edward Jones, the four cases which had been entered for hearing had to be adjourned for a fortnight. THE FAIR.—There was a large attendance at the Springs Fair held on Saturday. Cattle of all sorts fetched high prices; higher, indeed, than has been known for the past thirty years. DISPUTED RIGHTS.—Between the Market Hall and the Angel Hotel at Dolgelley there is a large space of ground which on fair days, with the bare exception of the road- way, is covered over with carts and stalls, and all kinds of merchandise. Some years ago it appears that small fees were exacted from the vendors by an old lady, but since her death the place has been occupied free of charge. On Saturday the right to lay down crockery ware in front of a shop occupied by a widow who also sold similar articles was disputed by her father or father-in-law, and on several occasions large crowds assembled to witness the dispute. In the end Inspector Jones very properly counselled the men not to commit a breach of the peace, but to submit their wrongs to a legal tribunal, and his advice prevailed, but not before several jugs had been broken and the claimant had been pushed down into the mud. COUNTY COURT, MAY 10th, 187S.-Before Homer- sham Cox, Esq., judge. Mr. Wm. Griffith (the newly appointed Registrar) dis- posed of the undefended cases, and the business before His Honour comprised one jury case, three original disputed cases, and one new trial.

The defendant alleged full administration of the effects which had come to his hands. Plaintiff stated that the deceased (who was a tea hawker), being very poor, was unable to get tea from the wholesale houses, and that he (plaintiff), at his request, used to order tea from the de- ceased and pay the travellers, charging the deceased nothing for his services or trouble. That there was due from the deceased £710s. 2d. on account of which de- fendant had paid £ 3.—Defendant, in his evidence, gave an account of the assets which he had received, and of the payments made on account of the deceased.—Upon cross-examination it appeared defendant had not debited himself in those accounts with sundry articles of furni- ture, of the value of about which he alleged he had purchased from his father, the deceas-d, upwards of 17 years ago, but had allowed his father to retain in his possession, until his death.—Judgment for plaintiff, without costs.
