ABERYSTWYTH. UNIVERSITY INFORMATION'.—Dr. R. D. Roberts, has been reappointed one of the examiners for the Higlire Local Examination (Women's Examination). D.r Roberts has also been appointed to be ane of the presi- diiic examiners in the London centre. A grand performance of Owain Alaw's Oratorio "Jeremiah" was given on Tuesday evening at the Temperance Hall by the National School Choral Society accompanied by a full orchestra. Mr. John Owen, (Off tin Alaw) wielded the baton during the first part of the performance and Mr. Richard James the remainder. The solo parts, &c., were very effect- ively rendered by the Misses Lewis and Edwards, and Messrs Thomas and Morrell. Miss Lewis especially deserved praise. The singing of the choir was very good all through, all the parts being taken up in good form and with precision. It was a great pity that the concert was not better attended, as Mr. Richard James, the Conductor is well deserving of support for his labour in connection with the training of the cb.9ir. The orchestra gave invaluable assistance- The Rev. Chancellor Phillips, presided and briefly introduced the proceedings by a few remarks. THE QUEEN'S DRAAVIXU ROOM. Her Majesty the Queen held a Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace 0:1 Thursday afternoon, May 13th. The Countess of Lisburne was presented by the Countess of Bandon; Mr. Lewis Pugh Pugh, M. P. by Lord Kensington, and Mrs. Lewis Pugh Pugh, by Lady Lloyd of Bronwydd. The Court Journal describes Mrs. Pugh's costume as follows:—"Train from the shoulders of dark green satin merveilleuse lined with rich pale green soult de soie, trimmed with fine plisse's of tulle and magnificent Brussels point, and large bouquets of magnoolias with tinted foliage corsage and gupe of the palest green rich satin duchesse trimmed to correspond with stomaches of splendid emeralds and diamonds, head dress, fea- thers and veil; ornaments diamonds." The Drawing Room was remarkable on account of the large number of exquisite bouquets carride by ladies and the natural flowers used in place of the usual artificial ones. MR, CONCERT.—On the afternoon and evening of Friday, the 14th of May. Mr. W. K. Wheat- ley & sons gave morning and evening concerts, under the patronage of the Countess of Lisburne, Col. Lloyd- Phillips, Col. Pryse, Capt. Blackwood, the Rev. Chancellor Phillip^, and other local gentlemen, in the Assembly Room of the Queen's Hotel. The attendance at both concerts though select was small. G anerally speaking the concerts were excellent in respect to arrangement of pieces and execution of music. Miss Wheatley took soprano parts; Miss Jennie AllwynWilliamg, contralto; Mr. C. K. Wheatley, late of Worcester Cathedral Choir, tenor; Mr. G. F. Wheatley, organist of St. Laurence, Evesham, baritone; Mr. W. Wheatley, organist of All Saints, Evesham, bass; Mr. C. Wheatley, violin Mr. F. Wheatley, comet a piston Mr. J. C. Alcock, violoncello; Mr. W. R. Wheatley, harmonium, Mr. F. 'Wheatley, solo piano. DRAMATIC ENTERTAINHEXT.—An advertisement in another yart of to-day's paper announces that the Enter- tainment Committee of the Aberystwith Improvement Society intend giving on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next dramatic entertainments under the patronge of the Lord Lieutenant of tiie county, Col. Pryse, and the colonel and officers of the Artillary Militia. The proceeds are to be devoted to funds for advertising Abeiystwith as a watering place. ARTILLERY MILITIA.—During the past week the members of the Royal Cardiganshire Artillery Militia have been engaged in firing practice 011 the Castle grounds. On the first day, blank cartridges only were fired but on Tuesday and Wednesday, the two guns were loaded with powder and ball. At about 1,400 yeards out to sea, a target was moored, consisting of a barrel with a Hag flying from the top. To ordinary eye-sight the target appeared hd a small speck on the water.' On the first day, after many trials, a ball was sent through the target; and on the folloAving day, in the afternoon a shot carried aAvay the flag stair, and a subseouene shot hit the ban-el clear out of the Avater. On Friday, the artillery engaged in shell practice. The work of the men, so far, has been considered very good. During the practice, large nr.mbers of people assembled on the Castle gounds, and among them were some of the Avifes of the militia officers and their friends. -u- COUXTY COURT, FRIDAY, MAY Homershr.m R. Cox, Esq.. Judge. I James v. Mitchell.—During the hearing of judgment « summonses the case of James v. Mitchell was called on. f Mr Griffith Jones appeared for plaintaiff, and Mr Hugh j Hughes, junr., for defendant. The plaintiff, Mr John James, claimed fl2 odd of defendant, who lives in Chalybeate Terrace. Examined by Mr Griffith Jones, defendant said that he rented a lodging house and shop at ;2:3 per annum, that he had not taken 10s. for lodgings since November, nor more than 10s. a week in the shop. In answer to His Honour, who said he did not understand the circumstances, Mr Griffith I Jones said that the circumstances were unfathomable, but that he (Mr Jones) knew as much about them as anybody outside could know. He was not, however, at liberty to state the circumstances which he knew. There was a bill of sale, and a short time ago an order had been made in that court to realise the effects in order .to satisfy the holder of the bill of sale and other creditors. The bill of sale was held by one of Mr Hughes's clerks. A sale was held in accordance with the order of the court, the goods Avere put up alto- gether and another of Mr Hughes a clerks bought them; but strangely enough the goods were still alloAved to remain on the premises.—Mr Hughes said that the bill of sale was bona fide, and that the goods were sold and the money paid for them.—His Honour thought that some order should be made.—Defendant, examined by Mr Griffith Jones, said there was not over £100 owing to him from his brother.—His Honour observed that the brother should be called as a wit- ness.—Mr Griffith Jones replied that defendant Avould say there was nothing owilg, and the brother would say the same thing (laughter).—His Honour said he Avould adjourn the case.—Defendant was about to leave the witness box, but Mr Griffith Jones called him back and asked him Avhat was the amount of the election bill Avitness had sent to Mr T. E. Lloyd (laughter).—Defendant: I cannot say.—Mr Griffith Jones: Have you not sent it then?—Defendant: \es.— Mr AtAvood: They have not been taxed yet (laughter). —Mr Griffith Jones: The election was witnin two months. Tell me within £2 or £ 3.—Defendant: I believe it is a guinea.—Mr Griffith Jones: Don t tell me what you are entitled to, because that is nothing (laughter). Tell me the amount of the bill you sent in. —Defendant: I really do not remember.—His Honour: 1 Is it a sum like £10 or £ 20?—Defendant: Ko, your Honour.—His Honour: As much as £ 3?—Defendant: About that I should say, your Honour.His Honour: But you have not been paid?—Defendant: No.—His Honour (to Mr Griffith Jones): Can you attach that money ?—Mr Hughes: Let it be attached. —Mr Griffith i Jones: Defendant will have no interest in it if it be attached.—His Honour: Let it be taxed, and then it can be attached in the ordinary Avay.—Mr Hughes: He will hayc very little of it if lie is not entitled to it.—His Honour then adjourned the case. Claimfor Foundrj i Work.—Elizabeth Ellis and Sons, Nothgate Street, Aberystwyth, sued the Cefnbrwyno Mining Company for the recovery of 10s. 9,1. Mr Evan EA-ans (Messrs Roberts and Evans) appeared for plaintiffs, and said that the case was called on at the last court. Their Agent then appeared, and said that at the time the goods were supplierl the company was not registered. It has since appeared that that was not the case. Judgment was accordingly given for plaintiffs. Action of Ejectment.—Waddingham v. Oliver. This was an action which has been before the court for some time, to recover possession of a cottage and garden adjoining the Devil's Bridge Hotel premises. It was an action in which Mr Balcombe appeared as landlord, and claimed the premises as assignee of the lease. Mr. Chambers, of Hafod, granted a lease to one Dayid Oliver, Avhose interest Mr Balcombe purchased. Sub- sequently Mr Balcombe purchased the fee simple of the Devil's Bridge estate, and it was contended on the part of the plaintiff that on account of that purchase a lease and interest became merged in the fee. It was contended on behalf of the defendant that Mr Balcombe purchased the lease in his own right of the fee simple as agent of the Hafod Hotel Company, and conse- quently that no merger could occur.—His Honour adjourned the case in order that Mr Eyan Evans and Mr Atwood the advocates engaged might agree upon a statement of facts for His Honour's considera- tion. Morn"it V. and another.—This was an action in which John Morgan, builder, North Parade, appeared as plaintiff, and John Rees, labourer, Capel DewI, and Daniel Mason, as defendants. Mr. Griffith Jones appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. A. J. Hughes for Rees, and Mr. J. J. Atwoodfor Mason. In the morning Mr. Hughes addressed his Honour, and applied for an adjournment. He said that it was an action involving a question of title to a considerable property in the neighbourhood of Aberystwyth. As far back as 1877, the action was commenced in the Exchequer Division. Then it was sent to the Chancery Division, then back again to the Exchequer, and ultimately it was sent rlown to be tried at the County Court. The Honourable Griffith Evans, whose services defendant desired to obtain, had been retained, but that gentleman had been called away to a prixy council case from India, and was therefore unable to be present at Aberystwyth that day.—Mr. Griffith Jones opposed the application but his Honour decided that he would take as much of the eA-idence as he could that day, and hear argument at the next Court. The case was called on after adjournment for luncheon, and the hearing occupied the attention of the Court all the afternoon, and up to nearly seven o'clock "in the eA'ening.—Mr. Griffith Jones said he would open the case rather fully, because that would make the case clearer than it otherwise would be. There lived once upon a time.—His Honour It begins like a fairy tale.—Mr. Griffith Jones Yes, your Honour. There lived a Mr. Isaac Mason, a saddler in this town. In 1849, he made two adA'ances.—Mr. Hughes I suppose Mr. Jones is going to prove all what he says, or it will be like a fairy tale. —Mr. Griffith Jones: I am opening my case, and if you have any remarks to make, I will sit doAvn.—His Honour I always take it for granted that an advocate will proA-e his opening remarks.—Mr. Griffith Jones: I just stated that Air. Isaac Mason lived. I will call 100 persons to prove it, if it is necessary (laughter).—Mr. Hughes: We may have some admissions.—Mr. Griffith Jones In 1849, Mr. Mason made two advances, one for £200 and theotherfor £100, upon the property in question, the title deeds of which I now claim. These alh-ances remained until the time of his death. The property was mortgaged. During the whole of his life he received interest upon that property. He died, I think, about 1861, and by his will devised the whole of his property, real and personal, to his wife and Mr. Daniel Mason, his brother, upon trust for his wife for life and after her death as she should appoint, and in default to the next of kin. Mrs. Mason lived up to 1876. Previous to 1866 she received interest upon these mortgages. In 1866 these mortgagors all turned tenants to her, and she went into possession through them as tenants. She died in 1876, and after her death all the relatives gathered, themselves together—(a laugh)—and went into her affairs. It is generally supposed that she had made a will, and that my client, Mr. Morgan, was under that will considerably interested. I was instruc- ted on behalf of the personal representatiA-es of Mr. Hughes, and his father was instructed on behalf of the other parties. Search was made for the will, but it was not to be found. During this time Mr. Hughes and my- self, and one or two of the relatives, three or four probably of the relatives, went through the papers. Among the papers were discoA-ered some A-ery old mort- gages that had been paid off. We went through a large number of note3 of hand dating back as far as 1834. In that way I went, among other documents, through the title deeds relating to the property in question. Then, after a good deal of search, it was found that no will had been made. It then became apparent that the next of kin, my client, became inte- rested The heir-at-law was Mr. John Rees, the de- fendant. While all these negotiations were going; on, and the search was being made for the will, the effects were locked up. They were gone through by Mr. Hughes and mvself, and a schedule tlrawn up. I shall produce that schedule. After it was ascertained that there was no Aril], there was a con- siderable sum of money in the bank and other personal matters that required to be attended, to at once. I and Mr Hughes met together, and distributed the docu- ments as we thought right between our respective clients. Mr Hughes had what was thought to belong to the realty relating to this property. and I had what, was thought to belong to the personalty, it being understood that if it were found any mistake had been made an ex- change of documents should take place. In going through these documents Mr Hugh Hughes, senr., who had acted as solicitor, was well acquainted with the affairs of the deceased and with the papers, and Avhen these documents came to hand we found a large Hum- of mortgages which had been settled and paid for, and notes of hand and so forth, Avhich Mr Hughes said had been settled and done for. When these documents came up I took them to the mortgagee still m existence; but Mr Hughes said no. she had purchased or had become possessed of the property now in question. Relying upon that statement, and knoAving that he was Avell acquainted Avith the deeds these things passed ovey to Mr Hughes on behalf of John Rees, the heir at law. I had a large parcel of papers relating to per- sonalty. I found an account book, and in that account book I found entries to this effect: 1849, 24th Decem- ber, len+ 011 mortgage on two small farms, situated in the parish of Gwirws, to David and John Moms, both of the same place, the sum of £100. Interest paid by both 24th December, 1850, £ 5.' Similar entries were made yearly up to February, 1865, after which is the following entry: "These farmers arc yearly tenants now." In 1866, November 12th, John Morris paid Pantyffynon rent, 16s. 6d. Similar entries are j made up to Mrs. Mason's death. These two farms j referred to Lluest and Pantyffynon, both in the parish 1 of GWIIAVS. Now, Avith regard to Fagwr Wen and the other tenement there are these entries made simultaneously Avith receipts which, in respect to the small farms, as will be seen with regard to Lluest, the said David Jones. Lluest, £4, 1866, November, £2. Similar entries are made up to Mrs. Mason's death. I have now dealt with Lluest to Pantyffynon showing that up to 1S65, and inclusive of 1865, it is entered by Irs, Mason, under whom we both claim, as interest, and then from that date it is entered as rent. It is also stated that they are yearly tenants. We now come to the other place called Fagwr Wen. There are these entries in Mrs. Mason's book: 1869, 5th NOA-CIII- ber, William Dayios, Fagwr Wen, lent on mortgage the sum of £200. Then there comes the same sort of entries, interest paid half-yearly, 5th May, 1850. £3. That is the first half-year's interest, and that continues up to 1868. After that is the following entry: Ir John Jones is a tenant from year to year. 1868, Fagwr Wen, portion of money, the rent £7 a year, began to pay 12th May, 1868, received rent £3 10s." Similar entries are again made respecting this little place up to Airs Mason's death in 1Sjt). Up to 1866 the money received 011 Lluest and Pantyffynon is reeeiA-ed as interest. The tenants also seem to have documents as well as the above entries. The contest between ns is now, whether this property is freehold or mortgage. The title deeds Avere in the possession of his friend Mr Hughes, or at least they were delivered over to him.—His Honour asked where were the deeds.—Mr Hughes replied that they might be in India for ought he knew. They were in the possession of Mr Lewis Pugh Pugh.—Mr Griffith Jongs said he had served notices to have the deeds produced, and Mr Hughes replied that he had receive. I the notice only on the preceding evening, which he held to be insufficient.— Mr Griffith Jones said he had a copy of the original draft.—Mr Hughes contended that it was not ad- missable but, after a lengthy argument, his Honour decided that if Mr Jones could authenticate the copy he Avould receive it as evidence, failing the production of the mortgage. Air Frederick Roberts, solicitor, was accordingly called. He produced the original draft of the mortgage, which he said he saw executed, and Mr Griffith Jones gave evillenc0 to the effect that he had seen the mortgage shortly after Mrs. Mason's death and that it had been executed. Two witnesses were called to bear out the statements in the opening address. Ob- jection was taken to the admissableness of the copy of mortgage and to the production of the account books both of which His Honour overruled, in the first case, because the original deetls had not been produced, and in the second, so far as the entries were against Mrs. Mason's interest as showing payments. Eventually the case was adjourned to the next court. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, MONDAY, MAY 17TH.- Present: Mr. H. C. Fryer, chairman, Mr. Morris Davies. vice-chairman, the Rev. J. T. Griffiths, Messrs. John Morgan, J. Paull, James James, Grif- fith Williams, James Jones, Piercefield, Richard Alorrij, Lewis Richards, John Thomas, Edward Edwards, Dayid Lewis, Daniel Jones, Hugh Hughes, clerk, and J. E. Hughes, medical officer. Statistic*.—Out-relief administered during the past fortnight :—Aberystwyth district, per Mr. T. G. Thomas, £:)1 14s. to 28 paupers; Llanfihangel Geneu'r- glyn dirtrict. per Mr. John Jones, £64 13s. 6d. to 276 paupers; and liar district, per Mr. Joseph Morgan, £3:2 7s. 6d. to 222 paupers. Number in the house, 87; last year, 85. Vagrants relieved during the past fort- night, 75; last year, 74. Balance in the bank, £100 3s. 5d. Inspector'* Report. —The Alaster produced the report book, showing that Air. Bircham, the Local GoA-ern- ment Board inspector, had made the following entry:— I have this day inspected the workhouse, which I find very clean and tidy throughout. I heard no com- plaint from any of the inmates. Captain Yaughan (chairman of the Aberayron Union) accompanied me, as he was desirous of seeing the vagrant cells." JrU!lml¡t8.-Mr. Morris Davies suited that the vag- rants still got the better of the Board in respect to the police cells. They bent the iron bars with their hammers in order to get stones, which they ought to break smaller through. They were up to all sorts of dodges' They carried the big stones away in their pockets and in their shirts, and the vagrants had to be searched before they left the premises. They did everything with the stones except eat them (laughter). He thought, however, that the Board would be able to make an arrangement which would out-wit the vag- rants. Remittance- of Surcharge.—The clerk read a letter from the Local GoAernment Boai'd remitting a sur- charge Avhich had been made on Air. Alorris Davies, in respect to £ 77.6s.Sd. Mr. Alorris DaA'ies had made himself responsible by signing a cheque for an account which had been due over six months. Ma*tei- Report. —The Alaster, Mr. Thomas, reported that the ladies of Shiloh chapel had given the inmates a tea at the Temperance Hall. Mr. Alorris Davies, who occupied the chair, said the Board Avere very much obliged to the ladies. He understood that the ladies of the neighbourhood were now A-ery kind to the in- mates. A Mrs. Bateman continuously visited the house and read to the inmates. Jlap of Union Premi*r*.—The chairman said he had frequently asked Air. David Williams, Vulcan Street, to send in an estimate of the expense of preparing a map showing the position of the drains and the pre- mises. He had sent in an estimate of £ 5.5s.—It was decided to adjourn the subject to the next meeting. PETTY SESSIONS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19th.—Before Peter Jones, Esq., Mayor; John Watkins, Edward J. Jones, and Rice Williams, Esquires. Charge of Illegal keeping open a Public Home.—Alary Beyston, widow, Cross Foxes, was charged Avith having kept her house open during prohibited hours, but as there was no positive proof that drink had been supplied, the bench decided to dismiss the charge. A Raid on Bread Seller*.—James Bowen, Grocer, Vulcan Street, Aberystwith, was charged with having sold bread otherwise than by weight. Thomas Jones, Pontrhydygroes, said that he went into shop and pur- chased the loaf of bread produced. He asked Mrs Bowen for a threepenny loaf. Before he left the shop he asked her what was the weight of it? She replied, I don't know." Superintendent Lloyd read the section of the Act shoAving that all persons were now bound to sell ordinary bread by weight. He added that he feared the practice was on the increase and he expressed himself surprised that the public did not protect themselves. —Defendant remarked that he did not know it was re- quisite to weigh bread before selling it.-The Mayor said there was an explanatory note saying if the sell- er is asked to weigh the bread."—Superintendent Lloyd said it was not necessary. They were bound to weigh the bread.—The Town Clerk thought the law very clear on the subject. No doubt'the sellers mostly acted in ignorance. In large towns the law was strictly enforced. 0 The Avording of the Act was as plain as lan- guage could be, and it was as Superintendent Lloyd had said.—The Mayor said that as Mr. Bowen had acted in ignorance, A-ery likely a small fine would have the desired effect. Defendant would be fined 6d., costs disallowed.—-A similar case was proved against Mary Morgans, Shopkeeper, Alary Street, and also against Anne Jones, Northgate Street, and the Bench imposed the same fine in each case, believing that the defendants acted in ignorance.—The Mayor said he should like it to be made public through the press that in future cases of a similar kind heavy penalties would be inflicted. The Pig Nuimvce.—Evan Lewis, Mariner, Chalybe- ate Terrace, was summoned by* Mr. Rees Jones, Sani- tary Inspector, for keeping swine on his premises as to cause a nuisance. The Inspector said that in this in- stance the pig was kept under the piue end of the wall, under the bedroom window. There was no drain to carry the liquid manure away, which floated about the yard. Defendant's wife who appeared said the pigs had been removed.—The Inspector said the pig had been removed to a place against defendant's own house. —The Mayor asked the Inspector if he had had representa- tions from the neighbouring residents, and the Inspect- or replied in the affirmative.—The Alayor said, in order to have a conviction it was necessary to prove it was a nuisance. The Bench would adjourn the case for a week, in order to enable the Inspector to report if the pig-keeping in its present position was a nuisance. TOWN COUNCIL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19th.-Present: All* Peter Jones, Alayor, presiding Aldermen John Watkins and Philip Williams; Councillors John James, John Jones, Bridge-end, J. R. Jones, EdAvard J. Jones, Isaac Morgan, T. D. Harries, Mr. W. H. Thomas, Town Clerk, Mr. DaA-id Lloyd, Mr. J. J. Atwood, Corporation Solicitor, Air. Hugh Hughes, Treasurer, Air. Rees Jones, Surveyor, and Mr. E. H. Evans, Borough Accountant. THE M. & M. RAIL WAV CO. AXD THE CORPORATION. The Corporation Solicitor said in connection with the subject of reports of officers, he would read the following letter he had receivetl from the solicitor of the Alanchester and Alilford Railway Company :— 11, Bedford Row, London, 11th May, 18S0. Dcr f?ir,—Your Jetter of the 4th imt, has been pb-ce,1 in cur hand, with instructions to write to you upon it, The chief clerk by his certificate dated 22nd November last, has found a rent- charge or £ 93 2s. Gd. was agreed to be granted by the Company to the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the town of Aberystwyth in respect of land at Aberystwyth, containing 9 acres, 2 roods, 2 perches, and that the rent-charge was in arrears from twenty- ninth September, 1874, and 13s. 5d. were due to twenty- ninth September, 1S79. The court has directed the funds in court (between -1:3,000 after payment therewith of costs, to he apportioned among those to whom rent-charges have been granted, and those to whom they have been agreed to be granted, proportioned according to the amounts due to whom rent-charges werc agreed to he g:'antc (101' to bc cr-rried èO separate account, with liberty to them to apply for payment This order is being drawn up, and under it a considerable sum will be payable to the Corporation. We have not all the papers of the company, and are unable to "ct thun. I <10 not know whether the rent- charge has actually been granted to the Coi-poration, but you will probably know that; if not, the grant should be completed, and there w;11 be no difficulty in tile Corporation then l'ccoyering th3 amount to be apportioned to them. The income of the company i8, we believe, morc than suffieicnt to keep down the current rent. charges when once the arrears nre paid, but the funds at present available will not pay all arrears. Yours truly, < Tuos. WIUTK & SONS. 1 J. Jones Atwood, Solicitor, Aberystwyth. ] MR. JAMES thought the Corporation had better take 1 possession of the land. AIR. ATWOOD explained that they could not, as the Company was under the protection of the Court of 1 Chancery. AIR. ISAAC; AIORKAX agreed with Air. James, but V should like to see all the documents connected with this matter. So far as he was informed, the Company had not carried out the conditions of the Act; hut had ( only taken possession of the land. The Council Avere s left entirely in the dark respecting the matter. MR. ATWOOD who had several times tried to get a hearing, said if Air. Alorgan had been a little less im- patient, he would have heard what he (Mr. Atwood) ( had to say on the matter. AIR. ISAAC AIURCAX—We have been too patient with, you. AIR. ATWOOD added that deeds had been drawn up, 1 but they had not been parted with, though they had been signed. All the Corporation then Avanted was that the arrears and interest thereupon should be paid. Mr. Hughes knew that he had got the Avhat-do-you- call-it." They could not take the course recommended by Air. James, which Air. Alorgan also said should be carried out, that was to take possession of the land. MR. ISSAC AIORCAN, said he did not mean to take up the rails, but to take such steps as Avould recover the arrears. AIR. ATWOOD supposed the Corporation did not want anything more than the payment of the money. AIR. JOHX JoxEs-That is all. AIR. ATWOOD said they were likely to get the greater part of the money without legal proceedings, and they would get the remainder by and by. The subject was now in a proper train. MR. ISAAC AIORGAN remarked that the subject had been let alone for six years, and if they let it alone again it would remain for another six years. AIR. JAMES said the Company had the land below value and even if they paid he thought the Corpora- tion was entitled to a restitution of that portion of the land which was not required. He thought Mr. AtAvood should see to those matters. AIR. ISAAC AIOROAN added that the Company had sublet the land, were pocketing the rents, and yet they had been treating the Corporation Avith contempt for the past six years. He should like to know what indi- vidual would submit to such a state of things as that. AIR. ATWOOD said there was an order of the Court of Chancery about the money, and the Corporation could not get it altered. AIR. JAMES replied that the Company had no deeds, and the Court of Chancery could not make an order to give a piece of land to anybody to which he had no title. The MAYOR remarked that he had made careful enquiry into the Corporation's position in this respect; and he had found that Air. L. P. Pugh and Airs. Jones, Alaesycrigiau had the consent of the Court to remove the rails, unless the amounts due to them were paid by a certain date. That appeared to give them a priority oyer the other rent charge holders in respect to the arrears. He believed the total amount due was about £10,000, so that after the expenccs which had been in- curred were deducted only about £2,000 or £;3,000 would remain to be divided. AIR. ATWOOD expressed dissent. The AIAYOR thought the Corporation would then only get 6s. or 8s. in the pound, upon the amount due. After deducting expenses they would get about 5s. in the ponnd. As Air. Morgan had pointed out, it ap- peared that the Act had not been complied with, for a valuation by a competent person and a declaration to that effect had not been made. AIR. ATAVOOD said Mr. Smith had made a valuation. The AIAYOR added that the Council should have all the documents relating to the subject before them. He had been over the minute book and should be pleased to give a committee the result of his investigations. AIR. JAMES said that three or four members of the Council valued the land and not Air. Smith. The MAYOR said they fixed the same sum per acre as was charged to the Cambrian Railway Company. MR. JAAIES, speaking warmly, said it was a matter of impossibility for any Council to manage business as they went on. They had a Corporation Solicitor, a Town Clerk, and a Treasurer, and each of them pos- sessed deeds belonging to the Corporation. If they asked the solicitor for a certain deed, he replied "it is with the Treasurer," and if they asked the Town Clerk he replied "it is with the Solicitor." Consequently the Council could get at nothing. He thought the proper course would be to appoint one of the legal gentlemen of the Corporation, and a proper register made such as that suggested by him two or three years ago. Air. HmmEs, the Treasurer, said he had no Corpora- tion deeds. MR. JAMES added that the Town Clerk would be held responsible if anything turned out wrong. The Towx CLERK admitted that he was responsible whether ho had the deeds in his possession or not. (Laughter). MR. JAMES said he had gone to the Town Clerks office for a certain deed but oould ueyer get it. The Town Clerk supposed it had never been in his office. AIR. JAMES—where are the deeds ? AIR. ATWOOD said he would produce them to a meet- ing of the committee whenever it was called. The AIAYOR said there was a resolution on the book empowering the Finance Committee to call in Avhatever assistance they thought necessary to compile a register of deeds and muminents appertaining to the corpora- tion. The Tows CLERK suggested that that list should also be printed. The MAYOR said that as Mr. James was the con- vener of the Finance Committee perhaps he would say ■ what steps had been taken in that direction. Air. JAMES replied that several committee meetings had been called, and the Boroilgh Accountant had been requested to get information from Air. Atwood, but he did not succeed. Air. ATWOOD said the Borough Accountant had never spoken to him about the matter. Mr. ISAAC AIORCAX asked who had the counterpart of the old leases? Mr. ATWOOD replied that there were no counterparts. The information was contained in two old presentment books in the possession of the Town Clerk. Air. JAAIES then said he would call a committee meeting to take steps to compile a register; and it was also agreed to call another committee meeting to thoroughly im-estigate, with the assistance of Mr Atwood, the position of the Corporation with respect to the Alanchester and Milford Company. T HARBOUR REPORT. Alderman JOHX WATKIXS presented the following report:— A meeting of the above committee was held, AIay 11th, at 3 X'-M- Present: Messrs. David Roberts, John Jenkins, and John Watkins, also John Jones, foreman. The committee found that the heavy floods of last winter have undermined the foundation of the quay wall opposite to the steamer warehouse, to the length of about thirty yards, and beg to recommend to the Council that the same be repaired with Aberthaw lime without delay, as the river is at present very low, which will greatly facilitate the work.—The committee also think it ad- visable that the Council should order three pairs of water- proof boots for the use of the men while working in the water.—The committee also recommend that the stone weir at the north end of the quay be extended about five yards for the purpose of diverting the course of the stream, and think that this would prevent the quay being undermined in future.—The committee further recom- mend that the crane at the south end of the quay be put in order. (The foreman at the harbour estimates the cost at five pounds).—The committee found that seven rafters and four fenders require replacing at the eastern side of the quay, and recommend the Council to renew the same, and also to have the fenders renewed last year coated with coal tar.—The committee also found that sand was being carted from the beach to the south of the Castle without a cartload of rubbish being deposited on llowfawi- in exchange for the same, and recommend the Council to give notice that this must be done in future.—The com- mittee found the jetties to the westward of llowfawr in a very good state of repair.—The stones which had collected at the end of the pier, mentioned in the last report, have been removed.—The committee also found the waggons belonging to the harbour in good order, and recommend the Council to advertise the same for hire, as it is not likely that they will be wanted for some time. It having been decided to stop the depositing of rubbish at any place except at Plas Crug, and not to allow the carting of sand from the beach after the 1 st June, the report was adopted 011 the motion of Air. John Jones, seconded by Alderman Williams. CARTINU OF AIANURE. The INSPECTOR was directed to see that the hye-law.3 were obeyed in respect to the carting of manure through the streets in the day time. THE ACT OF 1874. The AIAYOR read the following letter Avith reference to Messrs. Marriotts, Jordan, and Coopers' bill. which amounted to 14s. 8d., for soliciting the Aber- ystwyth Corporation Act of 1874:— ( Westminster Chambers, May 18th, 1880. < Dear Sirs,—The receiver cannot any longer defer taking immediate steps to inforce payment of the costs, he being-j directed to get all the accounts closed forthwith. I am 1 quite sure any delay -will be prejudicial to all concerned, and I beg to suggest that this account should be discharged } so as to save the necessity of the receiver making a special application to the court which Avill result, in unoleasant 1 proceedings and further considerable costs.—I am, &c., « JOHN JORDAN. J MR. ATWOOD stated that the total aihov.IVFC'of the bill i included an item of £377 14 4 for out-of-pocket ex- penscs in the payment of parliamentary fees. AIR. JAAIES said should be taxed « AIR. ATWOOD thought that Alessrs. Alarviott, Jordan, j 1 and Cooper, who were very respectable men, would make a reduction of charges were they shoArn to be too high, but he did not think the Corporation should take [ the somewhat hostile proceeding of taxing the bill. AIR. ISAAC; AIORCAN thought the Council were, as re- presentitives of the ratepayers, in duty bound to see that the bill was taxed. AIR. JAMES said the Town Clerk and the Corporation Solicitor had also claims in respect to the passing of the Act of 1874. The Towx CLERK said, in order to get a settlement of the matter, he Avould make 110 for his per- sonal services, only for his out of pocket expenses. AIR. JAAIES remarked that Air. Atwood said nothing about his claim. AIR. ATWOOD replied he had not been asked. He did not Avanted anything for his personal services. AIR. ISAAC AIORCAX said he should like to pay what was just and fair. AIR. JAAIES asked Air. Atwood how much he would take ? MR. ATWOOD replied that he would take £:20 for his out of pocket expenses. The Tow-x CLERK said he would take 203.: AIR. JAAIES then moved that the Borough Account- ant should draw out a cheque for £20 in favour of Mr. AtAvood, and that a receipt should be given for the payment in full discharge. MR. ISAAC AIORUAX seconded the motion, and it was agreed to. Returning to the consideration of the parliamentary agents' bill, Air. Hugh Hughes pointed out that 13s. had been charged for taking a proof, and £:3 Gs. Sd. for five sheets. He thought there ought to be hundreds deducted from the bill. It was then agreed to refer the bill to the Finance Committee for revision, with the assistance of the town's three legal advisers and that afterwards, what was thought to be a fair sum should be offered the agents in settlement. In the event of its iion-accepfc- ance, it was understood that the bill should be taxed in the usual Avay. EXTEXSIOX 01" LEASES. The AIAYOR said it might perhaps be well-to take Counsel's opinion in order to know the exact position of the Corporation, as regarded the Act of 1874, be- cause it was generally understood outside that the scale schedule E applied to seventyfive year leases, and not to ninetynine years leases. That was a A-ery im- portant subject, and he should be pleased if the Council gave instructions for a case to be draAvn up for Counsel's opinion. He found that two courses had been suggested—that the Council should by resolu- tion submitted to a general meeting of burgesses have their consent to abate the twentyfour years which made the difference between the old ninetynine year leases and the seA-entyfive year leases, for which the Corporation had now power to renew, so as to bring the line for renewal within reasonable limits. For instance, the Act said, "Number of leases unexpired of present lease." Well, assuming that they Avanted the lease renewed for seyentytiye years, they found twentyfour years of the old lease unexpired. The charge for that Avonld be fifteenytimes and one-fourth the rateable value of the propert that was the whole value of the property if it had a scyentyiiye year lease and put under the hammer. That sum was unreason- able. Could not then the Corportion agree with the holders of longer leases to accept a surrender, and that the scale of lines, under schedule E should be applied in the granting of a neAV lease, as if such surrendered lease had originally been one of seA-entyfive years only? It was clear they could not do that, because there were so many sub-leasees. He would show them the difficulty of obtaining a renewal lease where they had ninetynine year leases, and a scale for a renewal for seventyfive year leases. Let them take for example, a lease granted in 1810 for m) years, the aA-erage rate- ahlcvalue of the property erected on the land comprised within the lease being for the last three years £70 per annumn. Assuming that the lease was granted in 1810. 70 years would haA-e expired up to this time. The fine ) for renewal at the rate according to the Act would be £920. If hoAvcA er, they get an abatement of twenty four years, the line woulll be £280. He belieA-ed the scale had been adopted, because it had been in opera- tion at Llandudno, but there the original leases Avere for seventy-five years only, and not for ninty-nine years as at AberystAvyth. The question of the renewal of leases was such an important one for the town for the raising of money and for the improvement of property, that the Council should take action Avith a view to getting the defect remedied. He therefore suggested that counsel's opinion should be taken whether they coulcl agree for an abatement or Avhether they should obtain a short Act of Parliament. The TOWN CLERK having explained that he had nothing to do with the insertion of the schedule of lines, that the committee undertook the entire charge of the subject. DR HARRIS secoftded the Alayor's proposal and it was agreed to. PLYNLYMON WATER JBCIIEME. The question of the appointment of a clerk of the works to superintend the laying of water mains, it being stated that Air. Rees Jones could not attend to the construction of the reservoir and the pipe laying in addition to his ordinary duties, was discussed, and eventually the matter was deferred to the next meet- ing. The SCRVEVOR, in answer to the Mayor, said there was more than sufficient water running from Llyn Llygad Rheidol than was required to supply the town. One or two deeds relating to water supply contracts were executed. Air. Issac Alorgan was requested to value the tenant's interest in the reservoir site.

TREGARON EISTEDDFOD. On Thursday, May 13th, an Eisteddfod Goronog was held in a marquee which had been erected in a field adjoining the railway station. As the pavilion ap- peared on the morning of the Eisteddfod it reminded one very much of the representations of the Jewish tabernacle in the wilderness, for a rough Avind on the preceding night had taken half the roof off, and the committee, doubtless despairing of putting it up again satisfactorily allowed it to remain off altogether. The upper body of the roof afforded shelter for the members of .the "upper ten" in the front seats, but their less fortunate neighbours in the back seats were blown upon by the wind and shined upon by the sun, and if it had been wet weather they would have been rained upon by the rain. Fortunately for them it did not rain, and the committee eventually allowed them to occupy advanced seats. As it happened Apollo himself could not have wished for dryer weather, only there was a little too much Avind, especially for those whose heads came in frequent contact with the flapping roof of the marquee. The arrangements, which Avere not subject to the elements, were as complete as could be desired, and did credit to the committee. Alessrs. D. Evans and/W. D. Roberts acted as secretaries, and Air. J. Evans took charge of the cash and of the gaudy little A-estments which were destined by-and-by to encircle the necks of the success- ful competitors, with the prizes to be given for song and chorus, recitation and composition. It is said that Englishmen take their pleasures sadly. It might be said, perhaps, with equal truth, that the inhabitants of that portion of her Majesty's dominions called Wales take their pleasures, and their business too for that matter, unpunctually. At ten o'clock the Eisteddfod, according to the programme, was to begin. At that hour, however, there Avere only two or three people in the pavilion, and at half-past ten only a few more had arrived. Those who did not remember the prevalence of this habit said, Avhen eleven o'clock came and there were only fifty or sixty present, counting men, women, and children, officials, artistes, and policemen, "Oh there will be no Eisteddfod here to-day"; but others who regarded the conti dent faces of the committee-men knew that an Eisteddfod was a temptation not to be resisted by the Cymry, however bad the times may be, nor a good concert to be left disregarded by the inhabitants of a portion of a coun- try which has been said to be all one sea of song. And the committee were right. Presently the people came trooping in with the utmost nonchalance, as if they kneAV that they Avould be waited for, and in about an hour and a half after the proper time the proceedings commenced, and all went as merry as a wedding bell, till one o'clock when the unpunctuality of the morning resulted in haying to defer to the afternoon meeting, three or four competitions, including that for the chief choral prize of ten guineas which opposing choirs from Llangeitho and Llanddewibrcli had been hungering and thirsting for, so to speak, for weeks past; and that in its turn made tiie afternoon meeting longer than the committee intended. In the unavoidable absence of Air. Lewis Pugh Pugh, ALP., the chair was taken by the Hen Doctor" Avhose cheerful, homely, face made partial compensation. The Rev. John Jones, Tregaron, tilled the vice chair. The arrival of the Earl of Lisburne was greeted with cheers, Plenydd made a good conductor and Mr. Thomas, Llanwrtyd gave adjudications on musical subject, with ability. There were also present Rev. O. Davies, M.A., Rev. R. Evans, Lianrwrtyd Well.3, Dr. Lloyd, and Airs Lloyd, Tregaron, Air., ".Irs., and the Alisses Jones. Cilpill, Air. J. Evans, Wema, Aliss Jones, Poplar Cottage, Air. EA-ans, and Ali-s Evans, Dolayron, Air. D. I Thomas, County Court, Lampeter, Mr. J. Jenkins, (Aeronian), Aliss Rowlands, Argoed, Aliss Edwards, Blaellllyffryn Air. Lloyd, Corner House, Miss Bennett, Yspytty, Aliss Row, Tyllwyd, Hiss Alorgan, Pont- rhydfendigaed. Rev. J.

Tregaron, Miss James. Lhvynbendy, Aliss Jones, Wenallt. Air. Edwin Jones, Tovvyn, and others. The proceedings commenced by a brief address by Air. R. Rowlands, F. R. C. S. who was yoted to the chair. He first of all apologised for the absence of Mr. Lewis Pugh Pugh, M.P. by saying that he was de- tained in London by his Parliamentary duties. All ad- mitted the beneficial effects of Eisteildfodic proceed- ings, so he would detain the audience no longer by further remarks but at once ask the conductor to pro- eeed Avith the programme. No one responded to-the call for bardic addresses, so Air. T. Evans, U.C.W., was announced to sing the Eisteddfod song. He selected "I Bias Gogerddan," an affecting ballad, relating to a legend connected with the house of Gogerddan. All*. Evans acquitted himself of his pleasant task with credit to himself and to the in- stitution he represents, but he was notj as loudly ap- plaiu Led as he deserved, because as yet the audience was small and the enthusiasm of those present had not been eleA-ated by the warming effects of previous song and chorus. The prize of 3s, for the translation of "Trust in God" was awarded to Rhystyd Davies, LlanddeAvi-brefi, who was successful out of three com- petitors. Aliss Jones, Cilpill, invested the winner with the usual honours. Air. Thomas next rose to give the adjudication on the singing of a duet "Gadewch i blant bychain." He remarked that the singing of the second couple was much superior in every respect to that of the first duet. AAvarding them the prize, it turned out that the successful singers were Elizabeth and Jacob Williams, Strata Florida, who were invested by Aliss Roberts, Workhouse. The following competition, though prima facie, a serious matter, excited much amusement. It consisted of questions and answers on the Gospel of Alatthew, a competition in which the conductor gave the question and the competitor had to supply impromptu ansAvers. The two or three com- petitors who put in an appearance got on tolerably well until the last question was propounded, which proved, so to speak a regular pons asinorum to the aspirants to the prize of 10s. (hI. The question refered to was to this effect: "Name a verse in AlattheAv where three cammands are given and three promises made." All fell over this query; but the person who answered the other questions best was Rhystyd Davies, Llanddewi* brefi, to whom the prize was accordingly given, by Airs. Jones, Cilpill. The Rev. John Jones, Tregaron, gave the adjudication. For the imformatioii of the curious it may be well to explain that the verse required was the well- known "Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you." T. E. Griffiths, Allt-ddu, PAvllheli, carried off to North Waits a prize of 5s. by the following englynion he had sent in TNvyllodrus wyt hyll Avydryn—hynodaAvl, Ddenadur y meddwyn; Dy nod yw gAvneyd yn adyn, Llwyr ddinystrio—damnio dyn Ofnadwy dy fynediad,—hudolus I deulu llawl1 cariad; Oes i'r ser ryw dyner dad All adrodd gallu ei Avydriad ?" The englynion Avere considered by competent autho- rities to be excellent. Three choirs, Llanddewi-brefh Glanaeron, and Llwyn, put in a claim for the prize of £11 s. for singing the congregational tune, "Liver- pool." Air. Thomas, adjudicating, said the first choir sang pretty correctly, and attempted to pronounce the words properly, but their harmony was not good, and they were defective in giving grandeur to their per- formance. The second choir was Aveak, and finished out of tune; and the third choir, though weak, attemp* ted their parts wery well. At first he thought it advisable to Avithhold the prize, but considering the disadvantages under which the choirs sang, he would divide the prize between the first and third choirs. Aliss Jones, Poplar Cottage, invested E. C. EA-ans, the leader of the first choir (LlanddeAvibrefi), and Airs- Evans, Dalauaeron, iin-ested Dayid Edwards, the leader of the third or Llwyn choir. Morgan Edward3 led the Glanaeron choir. The next subject was a reci- tation of The failure of the principle of moderation to sober the world." Five competed, but nearly every one of them forgot the couplet Avhich advises all persoP9 who affect public utterance to Speak slowly, and all the graces Will follow in their proper places. The Rev. R. Evans, Llanwrtj-d, read the adjudication, and divided the prize between David Dav-ies and Stephen George, both of Tregaron, who were invested by Mrs. Evans, Rliydyronen House, Tregaron, and Miss Richards. It is not often that Eisteddfod audiences- have the pleasure of hearing a chorus sung with so much taste and excellence as the LlanddeAvibrefi choir sang "Cydgan y Aledelwyr" for a prize of £1 10s. There happened to be no competition, but the adjudi- cator expressed himself so well satisfied with the per- formance of the choir that he at once awarded the prize to it, and the leader, David Edwards, Llan* ddewibrefi, was accordingly invested with the badge of honour. Thirteen competed in writing penillion 011 Tay Bridge Disaster, out of whom H. Richards, Haver- fordwest College was selected as the winner. The con*, ductor read the adjudication on the 16 treatises sent 1_ on The duty of the church to promote temperance", for which a prize of £4.4 had been offered. The pet mium was aAvarded to John Griffiths, Brynawel, Cor whose name was announced amid cries of Cardi ef." There were other subjects on the programme bl they were deferred until the afternoon meeting Avhiclf^ commenced at tAvo o'clock under the presidency of tP3^ Earl of Lisburne, and the Vice Presidency of the R<>. 0. Davis, ALA., yicar of Tregaron. The president' briefly addressed the Eisteddfod, expressing the pleasn he felt in being present, and the son-ow he experienced in the absence of Lady Lisburne. who was in London* Air. S. Evans, Alachynlleth, adjudicated on the recitation of "any six verses," and delivered his award in favour of John Evans, Tregaron, and Aliss Rees, Lampeter who where invested by Miss Lloyd, and Miss DaArieS* There were no fewer than five competitors for the pri of £ 3 for singing a tenor solo from Dr. Parry's opera Blodwen. Air. Thomas adjudicated, criticised thef^jT formances in detail, and eventually aAvarded the pry to Caswallon and Dewi, (Dewi Alorris Davies, AbtfJi ffrwyd, and Romas Davies, Llangeitho, invested pr Miss Morgan, Albion House and Aliss Jones, Penla), Miss Jennie Williams having sung Alercli Alelinydcl^ and in response to an encore, Killarney," an adjudi- cation was read on englynion on "Cenfigen," and t: prize was aAvarded to C. BrAvnant Evans, Cwmystwj't^ who Avas im-ested by Aliss Alorgan, Pontrhydfendigaffl A prize of 10s. Gd. was aAvarded to Aeronian for a tract 011 the advisableness of establishing a cocOg house at Tregaron, and then ensued the chief chor# competition of the day for a prize of ten guineas singing Fel y Brefa'r liydd" which is more familial to English ears, As the hart pants." The first cho#j to enter the musical arena was that Avhich hailed fi'OBl Llangeitho, conducted by Alorgan Edwards, and tha^ was followed by a choir from LlanddeAvibrefi, conduct^1 1 by DaA-id EdAvards. Both choirs sang exceedinglr, well, and were the "other dear charmer away 1 each deserved the prize. The adjudicator, Thomas, aAvarded the ten guineas to the LlanddeW'" brefi choir, which was also successful last year at the Llanybyther Eisteddfod. Five competeted for tb prize of 5s. for a recitation haA-ing for its subjev matter, "The Deluge," and LetitiaDavies, brefi, Avas eA-entually iiiA-ested by Dr. Lloyd, TregarO^J The Rev. O.
