The Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries District. By an order dated February 22nd, 1900, and printed by a direction of the House ot Commons dated February 27th, the Lan- cashire Sea Fisheries and the Western Sea FisheriesDistricts are amalgamated, and now form one district, which stretches from Haverigg Point, in the county uf Cumber- land, to the northern extremity of Gemmae-, Head, in the county of Pembroke, and com- piises so much cf the sea between these points within which Her Ma jesty 5 subjects have by international law the exclusive right of fishing, with the exception ol such parts of the estuaries of rivers as are de- clared by the Order to be within the river fishery districts of the boards of fresh water fish conservators. For instance, the limits of the river districts of the Conwav and the Aber are the seaward side of the bridges of the railway crossing such rivers, and the seaward limit of the Seiont at Carnarvon is the line along the seaward side of the new Aber ferry bridge at tho mouth of the harbour. The powers exercised by the boards of conservators for the rivers and tributaries remain untouched, but it may be pointed out that the Government con- template the appointment of a Royal Com- mission to inquire into the operation of the law with respect to salmon and fresh water fish generally. The new sea fisheries dis- trict is named "The Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries District." It is a pity that the district was not called "The western Sea Fisheries District," which title is suffi- ciently descriptive, is a dozen or so letters shorter, and does not give any county pro- minence over its fellow-constituents. The other shires included are Cheshire and the Welsh coast counties of Flint, Denbigh, Carnarvon, Merioneth, Anglesey, and Car- digan. It is true that Lancashire, owing to its population and rateable value, has a pre- ponderating voice in the district, but the mere fact that such is the cose is likely to emphasise the objection to the title, which might be made a continual reminder of the subordinate position of the remaining counties. For the regulation of the sea fisheries in the district under the Act of 1888, a committee is to be constituted of eighty members. It is to be a joint com- mittee of the County Councils, the County Borough Councils, and the Council of the borough of Southport. One-half of the L members are to represent the various Coun- cils, and the other half the fishing interests in the districts, including the river conser- vators. Lancashire Council elects eight members, Cheshire Council two members, Flintshire one member, Denbighshire one member, and the remaining Welsh County Councils two each. Fourteen Lancashire county boroughs send sixteen members, and Southport sends one. Three Cheshire towns (Chester, Stockport, and Birkenhead) send one each, but no Welsh is of sufficient im- portance to entitle it to separate represen- tation. The boards of conservators in Lan- cashire send three members and the Dee conservators send one, while seven Welsh boards appoint one representative each. In addition, the Board of Trade have the power to nominate 29 other committeemen to re- present the less organised fishing interests of the district. Excluding the Board of Trade nominees for the calculation, Wales has 17 representatives and Lancashire and Cheshire have 34. No doubt the Welsh counties will secure a fair proportion of the Board of Trade nominations, as the ob- ject is to give each fishing ground a iair re- presentation. The whole of the committee will be elected annually, not later than March 19th in each year, retiring members being eligible for re-election. Within the limits of the Sea Fisheries Act they have power to make and enforce such bye-laws and orders for the regulation of the fisher- ies as they think fit, and bye-laws existing in any part of the amalgamated districts shall continue in operation until repealed or amended by the new authority. The ob- ject in view, of course, is the preservation of the fisheries by preventing wasteful prac- tices by the fishermen, by establishing nur- sery grounds upon which fishing is prohi- bited, by forbidding the taking of certain fish during breeding time, and so forth. All these beneficent duties can be more efficient- ly carried out when practically the whole western coast is under one committee's jurisdiction than could be the case when there was a divided authority and when different rules were in operation in ad- jacent localities. The statistics collected by the bailiffs of the two committees have proved the advantage accruing to the toilers of the deep and to the fish-consum- ing inhabitants generally from the protec- tive work hitherto done, and one may con fidently hope that henceforth the results will bo more largely beneficial. Precepts will be made from time to time upon the counties and county boroughs for the amount of expenditure incurred by the committee, but such calls shall not in any one year exceed one-sixteenth of a penny in the pound upon the assessable value of the property in such counties or county boroughs. Subject to such restrictions or conditions as to expenditure as are contem- plated by section 6 of the Act of 1888, the committee is not required t j submit its acts or proceedings to any Council for approval. One annual meeting must be held for the transaction, of geivera! business in addition to special or adjourned meetings. An ab- stract of accounts must be published annually, and the accredited representative council is to have access at all reasonable times to the minutes and accounts. The Order dees not contain any provision for bringing about a dissolution of the com- mittee in certain contingencies, such as was asked for by some of the Welsh County Councils. Mr Fryer, the fishery mspector who held the inquiry in November into ob- jections to the proposed amalgamation, re- ported that though the provision tor sepa- ration was generally sought, there was no unity of opinion as to how it should be brought about, and the Board of Trade had power to dissolve any district given to it under the Act of 1888. Hence he did not advise the insertion of a time limit or other provision under which the Welsh counties could' withdraw from the committee, hold- ing that the Board of Trade's powers, to- gether with the clauses in the Order pro- viding for the disposal of the committee's property in the case of dissolution, were sufficient to meet all requirements.

The Bankrupt and the Moaey- lender's Document ADJOURNED FOR FURTHER INQUIRY At the Bangor Bankruptcy Court, on Thursday,before Mr Registrar UiynneJ ones, Mr W. G. Williams, Assistant Official Re- ceiver, publicly examined John Hughes, coal merchant and fowl dealer, Sain-y-gog, Bod- organ, Anglesey, touching his bankruptcy. From the Official Receiver's statement, the bankrupt's liabilities were 1;273, and the deficiency £227. The bankrupt started business in 1895 with a capital ot from jEK) to JE15. Of the £273, L164 was stated to be for coal supplied, JE18 for rabbits, JE26 money lent, and E40 as an overdraft on the bank.—Mr R. E. Prichard (Holyhead) appeared for the bankrupt.-In the course of examination, the Assistant Official Re- ceiver produced a printed form, filled up 111 writing, apparently an application for a loan, and proceeded to question the bank- rupt touching the replies to the printed questions thereon, and asked if the bank- rupt had not answered a number of ques- tions to the agent of the moneylender con- cerned.—Bankrupt denied emphatically that he had answered any such questions.—The Assistant Official Receiver said the docu- ment containing the answers was signed by the bankrupt, who thereupon asked to be allowed, to see the documents. After exa mining it, he said that the signature to the document was his, but he had not filled in the replies to the printed questions, and, moreover, the paper was blank when he signed it. He got a lean from the Man- chester firm of moneylenders concerned for zC20, after refusing a loan of E30 on account of the high terms demanded. The money- lender's agent or clerk who visited him pressed him to take a loan of £20, saying it was a loss to him to come down and do no business. The agent in question now handed to the Assistant Official Receiver an- other document, which proved to be the original of the document first quoted from, and. reading from that, described bankrupt as a farmer. Mr Prichard thought his client could not have written that in the form of application. — The Assistant Official Re- ceiver said he was reading from the docu- ment, and pointed out the word in the bankrupt's description of himself. — The bankrupt admitted that the document bore his signature, but said it had been filled up by his wife.—The Assistant Official Receiver asked bankrupt how it was that in that document it was stated that the stock and furniture belonged to him, and was worth £ 200, whilst he now stated on oath that he was worth nothing.-The bankrupt replied that he must have told the moneylender's agent at the time that the stock and fur- niture belonged to his wife. de did not get the £ 20 menticned as the loan-only £ li) 10s.—Several of the creditors present questioned the bankrupt as to his outstand- ing account, and received replies which they apparently did not consider satisfactory. Ultimately the Assistant Official Receiver applied for an adjournment till the next court for further inquiries.-The hearing was adjourned. a —

Mr Samuel Smltl, M P. as a Stage Reformer. In the Houqc- of Commons on Monday, Mr Samuel Smith asked the Home Secretary whether hee was aware that in some theatres the production of plays of a depraving char- acter is on the increase, which the licensing powers of the Lord Chamberlain seem in- adequate to check: whether his attention has been called to a speech recently de- livered by the Lord Chancellor in which he criticised adversely the character of a num- ber of plays now played, expressed doubts as to the advantage of the present system of censorship, and questioned its efficacy; and whether, in view of the improvement in the conduct of the London music halls since they were placed under the control of the County Council, he will consider the de- sirability of extending the control of tue Council to the theatres? Mr T. B. Curran: Is the hon. member's objection on the one hand, and his approval on the other, the result of personal investi- gation ? (lauguter). The Speaker Order, order. The Home Secretary sa. hehad no in- formation and no reason to believe thnt Hilars were as stated in the first paragrapu. The Lord Chamberlain had full pcwers in the matter of the licensing of stage plays, and was prepared lo justify his exercise of those powers. He nau not been able to find the report of any such remarks as those attributed to the Lord Chancellor in the second paragraph. In reply to the third paragraph, he could only say that, as at present advised, he adhered to the view ex- pressed in the reply which he made to the hon. member on the 22nd April last.

Lightning photographs form a branch of applied photography, in which a great deal of practical work has been done. Our contemporary "Photography'' some few months ago organised a competition for photographs of lightning flashes, a number of which are produced in its issue of the 5th illustrating an article by Mr Albert Lock- hart, entitled "Litd t'.iing and How it may be Photographed." It will surprise many to see the extraordinary shapes which lightning really fellows, quite different from those usually to be seen in pictures. In one remarkable photograph the lightning has been broadened out into a ribbon, while another shew- the carious dark flash, a black lightning flnsh against a light sky, due, it is supposed, to photographic and not to meteorological causes. The whole of the photographs sent into the competi- tion have been handed over by the editor rf "Photography" to the collection of the Royal Meteorological Society, which is al- ready a large one. v

Marriage of Mr T. Rohinson, Talysarn Hall On Tuesday at All Saint's Church, St. Helier, Mr Thomas Robinson, Taiysarn Hall, near Carnarvon, was married to Miss Emily Dyson, second daughter of thj late 'Mr Joseph Dyson, Hoilinwood, near Oid- ham. Owing to the recent death of the bridegroom's father — the late High Sher- iff of Carnarvonshire — the wedding was a very quiet one, none but the nearest rela- tives being present. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr Thomas Dyson, and vas attended by her sister, Miss Lucy Dyson, and by Miss Dorothy Robinson, Talysarn Hall. The wedding breakfast was given at the Grand Hotel, after which the bride and bridegroom left for the Con- tinent. They will return to Carnarvon- shire in May, and will be at home at Talv- sarn Hall, May 10th and 11th.

Carnarvonshire War Fund. The Carnarvon county fund has reached a total of over £ 3600, and it is; believed that several local collections which have not yet come to hand will bring it up to £ 4000. Fon many weeks the fund has been distributed at the rate of about L25 a week at such centres as Carnarvon, Ban- gor, Llandudno, Portroidoc, and Pwllheli. In this way relief given to 64 families, comprising 36 wives, 24 mothers and grandmothers, and 4 others; and a some- what remarkable feature of the distribu- tion is the large number of regiments re- presented outside the 23rd regimental dis- trict. Of the recipients 17 are relatives of men in the 1st R.W.F., and 19 in the 4th Battalion R.W.F. (Militia), while other men wnose families reside in the district serve in the Imperial Yeomanry, tha Grenadier Guards, the Liverpool Regi- ment, several Lancashire Regiments, &c.

Bangor Guardians and Paupers' Coffins The fortnightly meeting of the Bangor Board of Guardians was held on Friday, Mr Hugh Thomas presiding. Tenders for stores were recommended for adoption. Mr Griffith, of Llanllechid, moved the re- jection of the teinders for coffins of the Bethesda joiners, whose prices he con- sidered was too low. The Chairman thought the Guardians would be placed in a serious position if Mr Griffith's proposal was adopted. The price of the Bethesda joiners for coffins was low, because it was supplemented by additions from relatives of deceased paupers. The price now charged by Bethesda joiners was 9s, while the price paid at Bangor was 17s. The price variations, however, made no differ- ence in the quality: Mr Griffith's motion was rejected by elejven votes to seven, and the tenders recommended by the commit- tee were adopted.

Gwyrfai District Conncil. The last meeting of the present Council was held at Carnarvon on Saturday, under the presidency of the chairman (Mr Tho- mas Jones). The report, of the Finance Committee; showed that the expenditure on the roads for the past year amounted to jE1679, it being remarked that the con- dition of the roads had greatly improved since the appointment. of a road surveyor. —With reference to a correspondence which had taken place with the agent of the Hon. Frederick G. Wynn respecting the construction of a sewer through his land for the drainage of the village of Clynnog, a further letter was read from Mr Wynn's agent, offering to carry out the work on condition that Mr Wynn was paid a certain amount for easement, that the tenants were compensated, and that all the legal and the surveyor's expenses were paid by the Council. Several mem- bers very strongly criticised the letter. Mr R. B. Ellis complained that, after the Council bad incurred considerable expense in improving Clynnog, Mr Wynn, as owner of property, had put every obstacle in the way of improving even his own property. He thought that compulsion ought to be applied if possible, but, after all, he did not believe that Mr Wynn feared anything I but publicity. Another speaker pointed out that the houses at Clynnog would soon I revert to Mr Wynn, whereupon Mr Ellis Roberts moved that the matter be ad- journed until the leases had lapsed. The proposal was agreed to.-A vote of thanks for his services during the year was passed to the Chairman, who, in acknowledging, reviewed the work of the past year, re- gretting that, while they had accomplished much important work, they had not yet carried through the proposed scheme for supplying the villages of the district with j water.

Interfering with Recruiting at Carnarvon. At the Carnarvon Borough Police Court on Monday, before the Mayor (W. J. Wil- liams) Mr E. Hughes, Dr Parry, Mr W. Hamer, Mr J. R. Hughes, and Mr J. P. Gregory. George Davies, labourer, Car- narvon, who did not appear, was charged under the 98th section of the Army Act, 1881, with interfering with the enlisting of two men in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Mr Carter, who prosecuted, said that the pro- secution had been undertaken at the in- stance of the War Office. The section re- ferred to read that any person who without due authority directly or indirectly inter- fered with the recruiting- service of the re- gular forces was liable on summary con- viction to a fine not exceeding JE20. The circumstances 0' the case were as follow: On the 20th February last, two men named Lloyd and Joues came to Carnarvon to en- list. After a preliminary appearance at the barracLs, they went to a public-house where thfy met the defendant, who, hav- ing become aware of their intention, tried to persuade them not to join the army, add- ing that they would have to lead a dog's life. He even followed the men to the barracks, where he advised them to sham defective eyesight. As a matter of fact tne men followed the advice of the defen- dant, but Quarter-Master Barr's suspicions were aroused, and he enlisted them tb3 fol- lowing day, after taking their eyesight. On this day the defendant accompanied the two, who were in charge of a sergeant, to the house where they were to be billeted. Addressing the sergeant he said that the "army was no place for Welshmen, who were not given promotion in it." He also abused the owner of the house, and said that it was a pity that he should lend his house to accommodate men who were to be sent to the Transvaal to be shot. Evi- dence in support of the charge was given by W. Lloyd, Orderly-Sergeant Cu'e, and P.S. Owen. — Dr Parry thought that inas- much as this was the first case of its kind at that court the Bench ought to deal len- iently with the defendant. — Mr J. R. Hughes thought an example ought to he made of the defendant.-The defendant, who did not appear, was fined £ 2 and costs, or one month's imprisonment in default.

Carnarvon County Court. On Wednesday, before his Honour Sir Horatio Lloyd, an action was brought by Rowland Evans, Tyddyn y Buarth, Llan- liyfni, claiming from the London and North- Western Railway Company JE30 in respect of three cows killed on the railway. Mr J. Eryn Roberts, M.P. (instructed by Messrs H Lloyd Carter, Vincent, and Douglas Jones), appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr J. Fenna defended. Mr Roberts sa,id that p'ftintitf's farm lay between Penygroes and r'nTitglas stations, and the line cut through the tarm. The cows were killed on the 20th of July last on a level crossing lead- ing from the fields below the railway to the farm above. The cattle were being fetched home fc; milking, and as they crossed three were killed by an engine which came past. The engine gave no warning until it was close upon the cattle, and he maintained that this was evidence of noglect on the part of the company's servants. The plaintiff gave evidence in support of the opening statement of Counsel.—Mr Fenna contended that it was not obligatory upon the railway company to whistle at crossings. He denied negligence on the part of the railway servants, and said tha.t a sharp look-out was kept by the engine- driver and: hlb assistant, both of whom were experienced men.—Evidence in support of the defence having been called, his Honour gave judgment for the plaintiff for the full amount.

Holyhead Urban District Counci] The crdinary meeting of the above Coun- cil was held on Tuesday, Mr Joaeph Hall in the chair. The Surveyor reported that the follow- ing streets had been repaired during the past month Kingsland road, Old Station road, Llaingoch Bridge, Vulcan street, Newry street, and Water street. The scavenging of the streets embraced 314 loads of house manure. Twenty-seven ash- pits had been emptied by the Council's em- ployees. Ten choked drains and other sani- tary matters bad received attention. A number of rocks had been removed in various streets of the town.—The Health Committee recommended that the inspec- tor should find a place to tip the refuge/in. The committee recommended that the ele- mentary schools of the town should be visi- ted by the inspector of nuisance, and a re- port submitted by him to the Council monthly. The committee had under its consideration 'he depositing of garden re- fuse on the roads, and suggested that bills be posted about the town asking the parties who committed these offences to discon- tinuÓJ them. Mr Joseph Evans called the attention of the Council to the fact that he considered it the duty of the chief constable to instruct the police force to prosecute in these cases. This motion on being moved was seconded by the Rev. John Hughes, and carried.—The committee called the at- tention of the Council to the fact that milk- sellers were creating a great disturbance on Sunday mornings by the ringing of bells. Mr W. D. Jones said that some of the parties engaged in this trade seemed to compete one against the other, to see who could make the most noise. He had ob- served a person engaged in newspaper sell- ing on Sunday. It was agreed to com- municate with the County Council on the matter, and to ask the vendors to abate the nuisance. The Rev. John Hughes submitted a very exhaustive report dealing with the im- proved railway facilities that are to be pro- vided for the'town. Mr Dent, the district superintendent, was thanked for his kind interest in the town, and the Rev. John Hughes for the able way in which he had discharged his duties as deputation. Mrs Binney wrote intimating that she regretted the fact that she would be unable to act as the Council's representative on the Holyhead County School. Mrs Hall was appointed to represent the Council in this matter. A resolution in favour of reducing^ the salary of the treasurer from £ 20 to t5, on the motion of Mr Joseph Evans, seconded by Mr David Williams: eleven voted for the resolution, and eight against. It was afterwards resolved to ask the Local Gov ernment Board to say if the resolution was a legal one. Mr Thomas Slater iroved that the Coun- cil ask the Lord Lieutenant to make Mr Hall a permanent magistrate. Mr Slater, in moving the resolution, said that Mr Hall. had discharged the duties so efficiently in connection with the reception of Her Most Gracious Majesty that he was well deserv- ing of the honour.—The Rev. John Hughes d. seconded, and the motion was carried.

Mr HampIiiejS'Owen, M.P., and th THE TERMS OF SETTLEMENT. Mr Humphreys-Owen, M.P., addressed a meeting at Llanorynmair on Friday night, which had been convened for the purpose of raising subscriptions for the Welsh Military Hospital and the County War Fund. He said he would ask them to consider very carefully what siiov: d be our attitude to- ward our enemies „hen-as would inevi- tably happen-the.ne came for us to im- pose the term 01 peace. There had oeen, not unnaturally, in the course of a severely contested struggle on both sides charges and countercharges of cruelty and treachery which couid only hiitame mens hearts against one another. In the colonies themselves the recollection of outrages com- mitted by troops in fighting, of houses burnt and cattle carried away, of insutta inflicted on non-oombatants and the like, and that by both parties, had aggravated feelings in a very high degree. lie would appeal to them to bear in mind that it was seldom that right was always on one side and aU wrong on the other, and to bear in mind also that this was a war not against savage tribes but between two white races, two Protestant races, and between two races largely of the same Teutonic blood. Moreover, at the end of the war Dutchmen and Englishmen must in the nature of thir.gs live and work together. We could never have a peaceful South Africa if there was to be ascendancy on the one side and subjection and discontentment on the other (hear, hear). The settlement when it came must, for the credit of the British nation, he one which should be honourable for all (cheers). Peace had her victories not le^s reiiowned than war, and it would be the greatest of victories—greater even than the hoisting of our flag in Pretoria-if at the end of this war we were able to point to L the Transvaal and the bree estate as cems as loyai and integral a portion of the Em- pire as Canada, Scotland, or Wales (ap- plause).—Mr D, T. Owen supported a motion requesting the places of worship to make collections forthe hospital and county funds, although, he said, he was in sym- pathy with the Boers. They as Welshmen could sympathise with them because they were fighting for their country. This was the most unjust war that any nation had ever washed. .'2.1&
