Dolgelley Meetings. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. ¡ Dolgelley Board of Guardians met on Satur- day, present. Mr. Lewis Price, Dolmelynllyn, chairman; Mrs. Morgan, Mr. William Owen. Bairmouth; Mrs Mills, Messrs. James Lewis, E. J. Edwards, Dolgelley; Morgan Williams, Arthog; Owen Ellis, Gellilwydfawr: Griffith G Powel Tyddyngoronwy; David Jones, Llys Enddwyn; Hugh Jones, J.P., Foelfriog; Ellis Lewis, Llwynhensel; C. Roberts, Bontddu; John Griffith, Esgairgawr; J. T. Owen. Glan- aber; Evan Pugh, Buchesvdd; W. O. Davies, Rhognant; John Jones. Cildvdd; W. Jones, Bwlch; Griffith Griffiths, Mallwyd; and R. Guthrie Jones, clerk. Miss K. A. Owen, the newly-appointed nurse- matron, was interviewed and welcomed by the Chairman on commencing her duties. She ex- pressed dissatisfaction with the condition of ) the institution, and pointed out requirements. She also suggested that instead of appointing a husband and wife as overlooker and cook, a cook-general and nurse-probationer should be appo; nted. Though assured that she would be in full change, she said she could not accept responsibi ity, or p-omise to remain, if a hus- band and wife occupied subordinate posts. The Matron's suggestions were approved, and the House Committee was asked to consider requirements for the purpose of carrying on the institution as a* infirmary. Mr. and" Mrs John Wdliams, Llanegrvn. and Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Davies, Cd-ris, had come to be inter- viewed in response to an advertisement for cook and gardener. Their applications, however, were not considered: but it was agreed to pay their expenses and to adver-tise the sta,fT vacancies as recommended by the Matron.—The Ministry of Health deferred approval of the Matron's appointment until arrangements werfe completed fOl- th11 maintenance of pauper in- mates from Dolgelley Union at Bala and Pen- rhvndeudraeth. The terms asked for by Ba a Guardians were at the rate of 12s. 6d. per head per week; but the terms of Festiniog Guard- ians had not been received.—The Ministry approved the payment of compensation of £6 ^57, and £83 to the ex-Master. Matron. an Nu>-se. Referring to an account for a hearse which, it, was stated, had been ordered bv one of the local Gujvdinns (Mr. Edward Williams) for a pauper's burial at Barmouth. Mr. Morgan Wil- liams said it had been previously decided that local guardians had no power to grant extra relief without the Board's sanction. It was a matter for the overseers.-M-r. Wi liam Owen a"d Mrs. Moro-an spoVa in favour of payine the bill as Mr. Edward Williams WRS actuated by humanitarian motives and as paupers invariabiv approached local guardians when in troiible.- It was decided not to pay the bill, but Mrs. Morgan gave notice to rescind the previous resolution. On an aoiVication by Dr. J. A. Davies. Towyn, the Question of revising vaccination fees was referred to a committee. I RURAL COUNCIL. I Mr. Morgan Williams, Arthog, presided over a meeting of the Rural Council.' A conference of representatives of Llan- ddwywe-is and Llanenddwyn parishes regarding the apportionment of cost for use of water supply from Dyffryn to Talybonf having failed to agree, the matter was further deferred.—A conference had also been held on the question of L-anbedr water supply. The Water Com- pany being unable to face an estimated ex- penditure of S500 to C600 to make the supply efficient, it was suegested that Doigellev and Deud'-aeth Rural Councils, either jointly or separately, should purchase the undertaking at £600, t-href parishes being interested.—Mr. Dd Jones spoke of the need of providing an ade- quate supply for the vi lage. The price was considered to be excessive and the source of the present supply unsatisfactory.—Mr. J. T. Owen proposed that the first step should be to, adopt the principle of co-operating with Deudraeth Rural Council in nroviding a prope7 supply, subject to agreement, -ather than act separately.—Mr. Hug-h Jones proposed and Mr. Owen Ellis seconded that, while ag-reea-Ve to co-operation, no action should be taken with- out further consideration and recommendation by the Committee previously apflointed.- Thr; proposition to co-operate was carried, it being understood that the Committee would meet i again. The Medica! Officer (Dr. Hugh Jones) and Sanitary Inspector (Mr. Richard Edwards) re- ported in detail on the inspection of defective houses and water supplies. Two sources of supply had been inspected for Abergynolwyn; but further investigation was needed. The Medical Officer was of opinion that it was in- advisable to treat part of Llanegrvn village as an insanitary area. Though many of the houses were unsatisfactory, they were capable of im- provement. With regard to sower blockage be- tween the main road and Bethania Chapel at Rontddu. the Inspector suggested r cn c' ers ou manholes so that they could be inspected periodically.—Several letters were read re- lating to properties previously reported, includ- ing a letter from Dr. Williams, Bennarfawr, Dyffryn, expressing his surprise that the sub- ject of complaint still existed a' L echfraith. What was ccmplainfed cf, "earth behind the house higher than the floor," had existed for hundreds of voars and had probably never pro- duced dampness. Men officials, whether Gov- ernment officials or others, were very rarely anything but theorists. They passed a theoreti- cal examination, and considered t.hev knew everything. He was a theorist at first and it was not until he was driyel by the practical nart of his work that he knew what a fool he had been. (Laughter.) There was not much that was practical nowadays^ so most people were content with the theoretical, which, by itself, represented conceit and pretention. Practical facts were not so easily learnt as what was written in books, which were the curse of the present age. Once teach a child t.o read print and he at once ceased tot read nature, the on'v giver of knowledge truly so callm.-Tlle Ohahman suggested that no more letters f-oni Dr. Williams insulting the Coun- cil's officials, should be read.—Mr. R Roberts Jones, county land agent, attended to explain the difficulties in carrying out repairs at two small holdings named Pantyffa and Prvsgae- ganol. The Small Holdings Committee wished to respect the Council's requirements and had accepted tenders. In one case a new house, was required. The Committee had ap- pointed three'local architects to prepare plans r and he (the Agent) had been instructed to re- nort on all defective farmhouses and build- ings belonging to the County Council. He feared the ratepayers would complain of the increase in county expenditure which would be necessary. During the war expenditure had been curtailed and up to the present the schemes of sma.] holdings had been self-sup- porting without necessitating any charge on the rates. He had ninety applications for small holdings.—The Medical Officer said he was not satisfied. The County Council as a public body should have been more ready to set an exampln to other property owners by responding to the Council's sanitary requirements.

Unfortunately, the Council's require- ments had been ignored in the past, owing to persistent, dilly-dallying, even before the war. On the Agent's assurance that the necessary work would be proceeded with at once, the notices served on the County Council were de- ferred.—Tn the case of 31 farmhouse, which had been condemned, it was reported that the owner had done nothing, though notice had been served of intention to make a closing order. As it was considered inadvisable to close the house., Mr. J. T. Owen thought a penalty should be imposed on owners for neglect in allowing the occupants to suffer.—Tn the ev-5iit of the repairs n-t beting proceeded wifh it wis agreed to give the owne*- notice that the repairs would be carried out at bis expense.

Robert Williams, Rock-terrace, and William Wil'iams, Tygwyn, Harlech, were charged by John Savage, keeper, with having trespassed in search of game on land belonging to Lord Harlech, for whom Mr. John Humphreys appeared. John Lewis, gamekeeper, said he saw defendants on land called Gilern, each carrying a gun. One of them shot at a rabbit. —Letters were -read from defendants apologis- ing for absence and denying the charges, say- ing that they were on a public path.—They were fined 7s. 6d. each. John Evans, Llechwedd Ganol, Harlech, and Hugh Williams, Brorigadair, Llanfair, Harlech, were charged with a. similar offence.The Keeper said he saw defendants with net and ferret on land belonging to Lord Harlech.- John Evans admitted the offence and said he went out to fetch a rabbit for Sunday, having no meat for the chIdren.-The Ckrk: You have been here several times before r-.J. Evans Yes; six times. (Laughter.)—In answer to the Chairman, he said he sold his dog after the last time.—A fine of 10s. was imposed on John Evans and Hugh Williams, who did not appear, was fined El John Lloyd, Glanvmor Farm, Ta!sarnau, and James Shuttleworsh, Porkington-piace Har- lech, were charged with having trespassed in search of game on. Lord Harlech's land Evid- ence was given by James Savage, gamekeeper, that he saw defendants searching for rabbits on "and in the occupation of John Jones, Glany- ] mor. One of them had two rabbits and he heard five shots.—Both defendants said they had Mr. Jones's permission; but it was not in ] writing.—A fine of 21 each was imposed.—John Lloyd was further charged with having assaulted Mr. Savage which Lloyd denied.—Mr. savage said when he spoke to IJloyd he said. "I have done one month through you and I will do another." Lloyd took hold of him and struck him with his fist in the rnoutli.-De- fendant denied it and said, he only took hold of his collar, and asked him to go to G'any- mor as he bad permission to go to the )and. Mr. Charles Jackson said he saw Lloyd take hold of Mr. Savage by his collar and asked him to go with him to Glanymor. He did not touch Savage at all.-Similar evidence was spven by W. Williams and Shuttleworsh, who said that nothing out of place bappened.-De- fendant was fined £1 and advised to keep a quiet tongue in future. John Evan Parry charged four defendants with an assault.—"Mr. R. Griffiths (Messrs. Lloyd George and George) appeared for com- plainant and Mr. Guthrie Jones defended.— The alleged assault took place on the night of August Bank Holiday on the road between Portmadoc and Penrhyndeudraeth.—John Evan Parry (complainant) said on the 4th August he p was walking on the road about eleven p.m., and when he passed the to I-gate defendant (Robert Williams) asked him why he told the police at Portmadoc they were singing. He replied that he knev nothing about it" where- upon Robert Williams struck him in the face with his fist and he fell down. The four de- fendants and another soldier while he was down kicked him all over the body and when he tried to rise Owen Hughes kicked him on the right side of his jaw and he became un- conscious. When he recovered consciousness he found himself on the wall near the Cemeterv. When at tho bottom of the hill two of the iefendants, presumably Lewis John Pritchard and Richard Pritchard, told him they were sorry for what had happened. The soldier assisted and also Robert John Williams and Robert Jones. He and defendants had a ways been on friendly terms. After the fray he went home and went to bed straightaway. He was in great pain and consulted Dr. Hughes. who said he had broken his jaw and gave him a certificate of admittance to Bangor Infirmary. On the morning of August 5th his jaw was set and he remained a<n inpatient until August 30th. Tie wore a mask for three weeks and was artifici-a lv fed. He still had difficulty in eating. He was quite sober on the night of the assault.—Tn answer to Mr. Jones, he said he was returning from Pwllheli by a train arriving at Portmadoc at 9.30 p.m. Wm. James Parrv, Matthew Owen Wiliams, Robert Jones, (Penlan). and Rhys Williams were returning with him from Pwllheli. At Portmadoc he went to the Ship Tnnl but had nothing to drink as he only called to inquire for someone to go home with him. While there he did not see a policeman. He did not visit any other public house at Portmadoc though he had one glass. of beerr at Pw:lheli and lost his friends in the crowd at Portmadoc Station. He was not near Festiniog Railway Station at Portmadoc when two policemen and a number of Pimrhyn boys were there. There were two men on the Embankment road who had had too Inuch to (1-ink and they were sent home by ap. He did not hear a policeman ask defendants Lewis Pritchard and Richard Pritchard to t*ke care of complainant and. others and to take them home. He passed through the gate alone and Owen Hughes did not come up to him. The others followed in ten or fifteen minutes. It was not da;-k and he recognised defendants _I J'\ -'I n_J.L__ :1_J -.A. a-oout tnree yaras away. r ru,r.:nara uiu nor- accompany him home. He was left in an alyony of pain. He did not ask the brothers Prit- chard not to mention the affair that night. He was not under the influence of drink, hav- ing taken one glass of beer OTllv that day. Defendants came to him after the assault and apologised. Some of the Penrhyn boys shook hands with them, but, he was in too much pain to take any part in the proceedings.—Dr. Hughes. Penrhyndeudraeth, said he was "-ailed up about 4 a.m. on Tuesday morning and saw complainant, with his father, the forme- com- plaining of bleeding from the throat. He ex- amined complainant and found him suffering from fracture of the right side of the jaw and dis'ocation of the other side which fortunately kept his mouth open. He suffered great pain and being unable to reduce the dislocation advised him to go to Bangor Infitrnary. At that time complainant. was perfectly sober.— In answer to Mr. Griffiths, witness said the compound fracture could be caused by a kick.— In answer to Mr. Jones, he said complainant smelt slightly of drink, but he was sober. He did not complain of pain anywhere except in the jaw. A blow from a fist could not cause such an injury and had he fa'len on a rough surface the skin would be torn. A blow with a bottle or a stick might cause it, but such instruments would not be sharp enough to cut the skin.—Robert John Williams. Waterloo House, Penrhyndeudraeth, said he was return- ing from Portmadoc and Penrhyn about ten with five others. Having passed the ton bridee he met, defendants and one of them asked who told Portmadoc police that they were singing? Tfe saw John Evan Parry on tho ground 1' inquired what was the matter when he was struck from behind bv one of them. Pprry made no reply. He fa"led out that Lla.nfrotben boys were beating him. Robert Jones, Matt- hew O. Williams, and William TRm- Pn-rv persuaded them to go home quietly which thev did.-In answer to Mr Jones, he said he did not hear complainant challenge tfee others to fight. He came up the Embankment, ,rth Robert Jones, James Parry. Matthew O. W;y. liam-5, and Owen Robert, He passed th^ieri, the pate first. Later he saw a number of bovs. T^e first thing thev mentioned to him WRS the singing at Portmadoc. He did not see NVillsnl James Parry take off his coat, but there wr-re several coate, on the wall. He did not see the brothers fighting or hear Lewis Pritchard shouting that he had broken his arm.—Mr. Evan Jones Williams. 2, Church-pia'-e. Pen- rhyn, said he came home with a number of other boys. There was a cry that Llanfro+hen boys were attacking Penrhyn hoys. One of the former asked him who told Portmadoc police t,hat they were singing. He saw John Evan Parry get up wid just then someone struck him with a stick. Later. Robert Williams t-old him he struck him in mistake for William James Parry. Complainant was then bleeding from the mouth. He had not seen John EVR.n Parry try to do anything to the others.—Tn answer to Mr. Jones, he said they had not fought. John Owen Parry was getting up when he arrived and he could not defend hirrtself.— Mr. Guthrie Jones, for defendants, denies the charge and said they desired to give evidence.

Towyn Sessions* 1 HUSBAND AND WIFE. At Towyn Session4, on Friday, before Marmai- duke Lewis. Meredith Jones, J. Maethkfri James H. J. Evans, Hilton Kershaw, and Hugh JJoiies, Foelflriog, Esqrs., P.C. John Jones, Abergynolwyn. summoned Owen G. Edwards, Cwrt, Abergynolwyn. quarryman, for having kwpt a dog over six months eM wifthout a iicanoe.—Defendsmt did not appear.-P.C. Jones said he saw defendant's dog in Cwrt, Defendant admitted he bad no licence. The dog was not a sheep dog, but a cross between an Airedale and an Irish terrier.—A fine of 10s was imposed- Ma.ry Jones, Trawst, Llanegryn, summoned her husband. Evan Jones, Uni-on-square< DoI- geJley, for desertion, which he denied. She sadd she was married to defendant in Wrcx- ham, thirty-two years ago, and had four children. Both daughters were married, and the two sons lived with her, one of them working at Tonfanau Quarry and the other on Pant Farm. Up to six months ago her hustand, who was employed' in Dolgelley, sent her maintenance money; and stopped paying as she [ would not go to live with him in Dolgelley, as I she Could not get any pezice from his family there. They shouted after her and were very nasty, and she made up her mind not to live with h:m again. He wag cruel and abused her in many ways. sometimes beating her. He contributed 12s. per week for her maintenance after having been in Dolgelley for a short time. He had lived with her for twelve months only at Trawst, and after going to Dolgelley offered her a home. When living at Arthog for twenty years defendant had thrown saucers at her head. When defendant was working at Ton- fctiau he gave her E2 10s per fortnight to keep her:olf, him, and a little adopted son.-Crcfs examined: She was in Dolgelley on May 12th. Defendant was working at the Gas Works, and no sooner had she left the train than his family called her names and abused her. She admitted that he came home on May 10th and offered to secid a lorry to take the furniture to Dol- gelley. She reftkd that offer.—Defendant: You remember me coming home in May?— Witness: eYs, through the window-Conainuino, she said she was quite prepared to go to live with him at Arthog, but she was not now pre- pared to live with him.-Defendant, in evidence ,aid he and his wife had lived, happUy until last May when he asked her to go with him to Dolgelley, where he was employed. He con- tributed towards her maintenance when in Trawst, but when she said she would not live with him in Dolgelley he stopped the weekly allowance, expecting a letrter from her saying she would come. She did not write. He married her to keep house for him a:nd to look after his interests, and not the interests of his sons, for whom she was keeping house. Had he beeSi cruel to her, it was unlikely that she would give him his Sunday morning breakfast in bed when he was at home in Trawst on holiday from Dolgolley. When the youngest son joined the army he refused to a'lot any of his pay to his mother, and she had not re- ceived a penny from him during the time he was in the ai-my. Defendant's wages were C2 per week in Dolgelley.-The cace was adjourned for a month for further evidence the Benah hoping that in the meantime the parties would be reconciled.—Mrs. Jones left the box mut- tering, Never, any more; he has crippled me too much for tllat."

A NEWSPAPER NOVELTY. There may be nothing new under the sun, but advertisers are for ever trying to I- ove the contrary. Some of them attain a measure of success. For example, we may quote the first of a series of freshly-written advertisements in our columns, setting forth the history and in- fluence of one of the nation's foremost pro- vincial daily papers, the Liverpool Courier." Considering that the Courier" first saw light when George III was king and that by con- sirtent enterprise, rigour, and readability throughout more than a century and a decade, it to-day commands an audience and wields an influence far beyond the city which it has seen grow from an eighteenth century town- ship into the first seaport in the wor,d, this latest piece of characteristic enterprise on the part of our contemporary may be expected to excite wide attention. A winning factor in the Courier" evolution (which may be commended to those critics who assert that newspapers commonly trim their sails to the winds of various policies) is that the principles of the Courier" have not changed during 111 years and that these prin- ciples, enunciated to-day in the latest accent, are paramount in the city of which it is the oldest and claims to be the most representative and up-to-date newspaper. This ranks as a triumph for the highest qualities of journalism in a day prone to catchpenny "stunt writing." It is a triumph, moreover, bespeaking how active, y the brilliancy of the Courier" has kept abreast of the hour. Few news prints gather new forcefulness with the passing of a century, but few readers looking at the "Courier" of to-day with its pungent leaders, its famous diplomatic letter, itr4 welinformoo political; notes and special features realise that they are participating on a tradition of fine journalism which reaches back through many generations.

(Continued from previous column.) that he bad nothing to do with them. In going through the toll gate, J. Evan Parry (complainant) struck him a blow. Then he saw complainant and his brother assaulting wit- ness's brother, who was shouting that he had broken his arm. Complainant warned his brother not to mention the affair to anyone.— In cross-examination, witness admitted having had eight glasses of beer at Portmadoc, but was quite sober.—Evidence was given by defendants, Robert Williams and Owen Hughes, both denying thev had kicked defendant to cause such an injury to his jaw.-The Bench decided to dismiss the case, after a hearing of over six hours. Mr. J. Jones Morris, magistrates' clerk, said the Bench wished to draw attention to a mis- leading report which had appeared in some newspapers, in which case a German prisoner was fined 15e. for larceny on October 22nd. There were no reporters in court, but a few days later a report appeared in the daily papers stating that the man had offered to pay the fine, the money having been given him by some farmers to avoid imprisonment. There was no truth in the statement, as the prisoner had not offered any money at all. The justices asked that at least correct reports should be sent to the papers.

(j EICH DYN" OR (j ICN DIEM." A German corruption of a Welsh expression? an etymological inexactitude of ancient and modern times. That the legitimate wishes of the We:l;¡h people ace at the present time being seriously considered by our blood relations on the east- ern side of Offa's Dyke is manifest by the re- ferences to such obscure subjects as debateable questions in heraldry, such as the non-repre- sentation on the national shield of the Red Dragon of Wales, the inclusion of the Daffodil on the new Treasury notes as a nationai emblem for Wales, the Leek, being excluded, whilst quite recently we have references in the Eng- lish journals—"John Bull" and the "Morning I Post" of the 29th October-as to the true derivation of the heraldic motto "Ich Dien," and doubts as to its correctness to be con- tinued in perpetuity. "John Bull" stigmatises the motto as "that hideous German motto"; whilst correspondent "G" in the "Morning Post" suggests that the Wel",l) Wo" ds "Eich Dyn," as applied to the infant Prince Edward at Carnarvon in 1277, were afterwards corrupted after the battle of Grecy in 1346 into the Ger- man motto "Ich Dien," expropriated from John of Bohemia on his defeat by the Black Prince of Wales and his Welsh archers. The true origin of the motto is stated in the "Morning Post" to be as follows: Edward I., having conquered the native princes of Wales, Llewellyn and David, united the Prin- cipality with 'the Crown of Eng"and, and in- vested with it his son Edward of Carnarvon, then an infant, ih 1277. Edward was not at this time his eldest son; but on the death of the heir to the English throne, Alphonso, the second son, succeeded to thaW dignity, and, ever since, the her- to the throne has been in- vested with the title 'Prince of Wales.' Confirmatory authoritative evidence from Welsh manuscripts and records would- be in- valuable in establishing the true origin of the 11277 traditionary historical story as to the Carnarvon agsemby investing the first Prince of Wales with the Welsh motto "Eich Dyn" (your man), for it will be remembered that the ( erudite College of Emeralds did not come into existence for more than one hundred years after the event. Sixty-nine years had elapsed when the battle, of Crecy took place, and the two mottoes Ich Dien" (T serve) and 11 Houmont" (hod) muth), i.e., high spirit, were expropriated from the German King John of Bohemia, including the oestreicb-antriebe--osi-rich feathers, now the Prince of Wales' pnmes on the crest. The ostrich feather was borne by all the sons of Edward III. and was also the badge of the, house of Luxemburg and the device- of Anne, wife of the son of the Black Prince. Thus we have the two mottoes, "Ich Dien" and "Hoch Muth," together with the oestrich (ostrich plumes), all of Get-manic origin, appropriated at the time of Crecy, 1346, by England as a matter of conauest, hence the substitution of the two low German words "Ich Dien" (I serve) for the two Welsh words "Eich Dyn" I (your man), an expression of subjection, sub- stituted for one of national pride of sixtv-nine years priority. But to over-come the prejudice of custom in the domain of heraMry has always shown it to be a slow process; not until the vear 1801 did the escutcheon of the House of Hanover disappear from the national shield. whilst at the present time the white horset of Hanover still appears as a badge of one of our famous regiments of the line, now servincr on the banks of the Rhine.
