Hardy, Back Madoc-street, Llandudno, fruit sales- man, for j514 16s, for potatoes supplied.- Mr Giles said the action was brought to re- cover the value of 4 tons 8 cwt. of potatoes consigned from Tattenhall-road Station, on the 15th November last. The practice at Tat- tenhall-road Station was that goods sent by railway were weighed at a weighing machine, which belonged to Mr Jones, lessee of the Aldersev Arms Hotel. On the occasion in question the potatoes were late in arriving, and he was obliged to take the potatoes to the station, and consign them at a guess weight of 3 tons 5 cwt., paying for carriage £1 12s. Immediately after plaintiff met Mr Bowker, Burwardsley Hall, from whom he had bought the potatoes, and the latter told him that the weight of potatoes was 4 tons 8 cwt. Thereupon plaintiff wrote to defendant, telling him he had sent 4 tons 8 cwt. of potatoes, and should expect to be paid for that quantity. He (Mr Giles) wrote requesting payment, and as no notice was taken of the letter that action was com- menced. After the action was commenced defendant paid £11 19s into court, making a declaration at the time that this amount represented the value of the potatoes for- warded to him by the L. and N.-W. Railway Company's weigh note. The cost of the potatoes was £3 per ton, and the total claim was for JB14 16s.—The plaintiff, Mr Bowker. and John Welch, weighing clerk at Tattenhall-road, corroborated the evidence of the two latter witnesses as to the weight of the potatoes. Welch admitted that the name of Booth was added to one of the weigh tickets only three weeks ago, but the weights in the book were entered at the time.—In re-examination, the witness said he never made out the counter foils until they were applied for.—Mr Whittingham, who defended, commented on the fact that one of the weigh tickets was only made out three weeks ago, and pointed out that the weight contained on this ticket represented the exact weight in dispute. Unfortunately defendant did not weigh the potatoes on receiving them, and the payment he made was according to the weight sent to him by the Railway Company.—The defendant also gave evidence, and denied having weighed the potatoes, but his Honour drew attention to the defendant's admission in a letter to the plaintiff, in which he said he had weighed he potatoes, and asked to be allowed for 2 cwt. of dirt.-The Judge gave judgment for plaintiff.

NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD OF 1896. On Monday eventing a special meeting of the Literary amd Musical Committees of the LMidhdno Natilcmal Eisteddfod was heM. MT T. T. Marks (Ap M-yiiddin) prealxlled. The 1 prociMnzAion of tliei EMjeidldfod was fixed for Mkv next. The bandic eerenimy will be undter the direction of the Ardhdruid, Hwfa Men, and a concert wifl be held in 'he even- ing. At a meeting of the musical comimitiftee the secretary (Mr J. H. Roberts) read letters from Messrs Lever Brothers offering a special pri/e of £ 25 and a silver medal 10 be awarr-e^ for the lest caoir of female, ruv' ir()f!I Mr W. P. Hartley, offering a prize cf ten guineas. Both offers were accepted, the ten guineas being placed as one of the prizes in the male chcifir compettii'i&flii. The fallowing have con- socnteld to act as adjudicators of th-e protse, sub- jects :— The Rev G. Hart-well Jones, Pro- fessor J. E. Lkyld (BamglOl:), Profession* 0. M. Edwards (Oxford), Mr J. Gwenogfryn Evans (Oxford), C. Ashton (Dioos MawdVlwyj. and H. Boukon (London). PETTY SQUABBLES. At the ordinary meeting of the executive committee of the Llandudno National Eis- teddfod of 1896, held Ull Wednesday night, at the George Hotel, Llandudno, the chair- man (Mr John Jones) presiding, a Welsh letter was read from Dr John Rhys cordially thanking the committee for the resolution passed at the last meeting congratulating him upon his appointment to the mastership of Jesus College. Such an expression of good feeling on the part of his fellow- countrymen had gladdened his and his wife's hearts.—Reports of meetings of the musical and litenry committees were presented.- The Secretary (Mr T. W. Griffith) read a letter from Eos Dar, the eminent pennillion singer, naming his terms to sing at the pro- clamation and Gorsedd, on May 24th. His terms were accepted.—At the suggestion of the chairman, a deep expression of regret was recorded at the death of Mr W. Smith, who was a guarantor of the Eisteddfod. The following were recommended as the music adjudicators: Messrs F. H. Cowen, C. Francis Lloyd, J. H. Roberts, D. Jenkins, Emlyn Evans, George Miller, and W. T. Samuel. Mr Marks moved the adoption of the min- utes.—Mr R. J. Williams moved that Dr Joseph Parry be asked to adjudicate. It would be very unpatriotic not to do so and unusual, as Dr Parry was the only Welsh musical doctor.—Mr Bone seconded.—Mr Marks said Dr Parry had been written to and his terms obtained, and the committee unanimously resolved not to engage the doctor.—It was decided to reconsider the appointment of Dr Parry. Mr Bennett was appointed an adjudicator.—Mr Marks called attention to an important matter as affecting the choir competitions. At the last music committee it was fully discussed, and the majority were of opinion that in the female and male choir competitions the number of voices and the value of the prizes were too high as compared with the conditions at the Hhvl and Carnarvon Eisteddfodau. The chairman took a very arbitrary course, an4 said he should at the executive committee rule it out of order to alter the amount of the first prize from 40 guineas to 25 guineas. It was for the executive to decide whether the music committee or the chairman was right. He held that it was not encouraging to local choirs to require 50 voices as the minimum number.—The Chairman said he should hold that they could not alter the principle of the competitions in question unless they gave notice and reconsidered the resolutions passed. He was surprised at what Mr Marks had said. He had no objec- tion to the conditions being chahged, but it must be done in a regular way. Considerable discussion ensued, some being in favour of altering conditions, whilst others held that the competitions were open to the world and should not be made a parochial affair. The question was adjourned to the next meeting of the committee.—Mr J. H. Roberts tendered his resignation as secretary of the music committee.—Mr Conway moved, and Mr Marks seconded, that it be not accepted.- Dr Bold Williams hoped the committee would not allow him to resign.—Mr Roberts You want a secretary who knows Welsh.—Dr Williams You will have learnt Welsh soon (laughter).—The Chairman hoped there would be no more personal remarks. The squabble that evening ought not to have been intro- duced.—Mr Marks I must object to this; it is your personal remarks which have caused it all. There will be more resignations soon if you gon on.—The Chairman I am not I going to sit here to be insulted in this way.— I Mr Marks: Your personal arrogance is a perfect nuisance wherever you go.—Mr Con- way: We are much too busy to come here to bicker.—The Chairman If the insult came from anybody else I should feel it, but coming from where it does I treat it with the very greatest good nature.—Mr Ralph Fisher read the minutes of the arts committee, stating that prizes to the imount of J3575 had been decided upon, and Lady Augusta Moa- tyn had been asked to join the committee.— The minutes were passed.

The association membership was reported to now total 10,000. Mrs D. A. Thomas, Aber- dare, W88 elected president, and Miss Ada Thomas, Haverfordwest, secretary. DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY GOVERN- ING H01YY. — A meriting of the county governoais, under the Inftetrmediate Schodls Act, was held at Denbigh on »\ edlneddfcty, under tihie prasaidlency of Mil. Thomas Gee. Tlieo-a hjad been 56 a/pp&'oants far the position of headtaa^teir of iJlangoTjeai Dual School, and- these had been redfuced to three. The dhauFmian pointed out that none of the tih:ee weine WeMi, and it elioittddi the reply that that hiyi been cointsideired, but that there wetre onC-y three Welshmen left in the first eeie'Cited 14, and then tihe qualifications of the otliiars wetre so superior the locail goveitnors considered a Welshman must not be insisted upon, but a sooond Weife-h mastetr would be appointed.

I AGRICULTURE IN NORTH WALES. [FROM AN OCCA.Srr,NAlt CORBESPOXDENT." The waathur has apparently settled in more mfflHIy, but the cold rainfaU of SatuiWa^ was not such a pl-eaaunt change. In the cou-se of a run akmig the coast on Tuesday I sam- a good deal of ploughing going on. Farm work is very backward, and it will oniy be bv much energy thiaft cropping willi. be completed in t&mse. Last year, wilren we had a very m-i-id January and February, potatoes were piamted, maniuite got out, and the land: sown with, viariilaus knntds of graiiin and roots. Now, the bulk of the work nama-lrus to be completed. I saw a good mamy lambs, which appeared to be thriving nioeily. I hear the most dlisiual reports of the con- fSitibii of potatoes. j_ue< frost has penetrated tilie hogs, and dtesittrtoyed hiundiedte of tons. One extenteiv-e pciiJato fairmer on the borders told me an Saturday that he had 100 tons comiptetelfy spoiled. Wihen he removed) the stnaw the ice had aecuniuiated beneath it Lt ^wias raa;% snow which had melted, per- coiii{t3ed tJnrougih, and cheo beooine froze-ii th:ie»e inches deep. Tlie frost had goaie right thorough the hogs. As potatoes are now falling at £ 5 a ton, his loss will be £ 500. That io no itedSated instance. In, North Wades potatioes are not grown to such am ex- tent, but here and there I heer of serious Joetetefc. CaftiDle ocwiiinue to sell we;3, and improve in I see by a report in. the papers that at Oh-eater market, on Thursday last, milch cows realised from E16 to £ 22 calvers. £ 12 to Llg; bjuirems, C9 to £ 12; heifers, C8 to £12; amd stirks, £ 6 bo E7. There was an acfrre saille, and veiiy little stock was taken back. Most of our young stock goes into the Mikllianidte. Here, again, the market is strong, and, alUfogafciher, the outlook for the, coming season, as far as oattfo breeding is comtoerned, is very sa/tiMaeooiy. The explanation of the r.lse in values i6 that owing tlo the scarcity of feed1 last yesr heidis wetre reduced by every potssBbule means, and now that keep is plemitd- ful, fhrim-etrs are annious to increase theoir stocks, and there is a trood inquiry aJit round. A foiltin/^ht ago I directed attention in the Heratd to tihe riesohiticHi of the English Land- CtamntsEtlon 00 take WeMi evidence, aind pointed out that _i was a very se:aOus matter for the tenartt farmers. It took a fortn%iht, apparently, for the Wedsh M.P's to catch the dridlt of the thing, but at last they are moving, and not one moment boo stoon. As I painted out in. my notes, the iandlowners feel that the report of Loid Car- j rfajgtoon's Oomiinlosiifon is certain to go against tttiteon, and thqv axe anxious to submit theair case to a tribunal which is Ekeliy to Lend a more sy-mpa/tiheiote eaT to thecr case. As Mr Chaplain, the Minifc-ter of Agiictil- tare in the last Tory Governimenlt, has got a cmajorifcy of tih-o English Ooanimcasikxn elt hils back, he was abJe, after an exciting discus- siton, to carry a motion to take WeMi evi- d-emce. The consequences wilil be obvious to anyone. The majority on the Commission ",i_dh can csairy a resolution to take Wei^h evfdlenice can carry any resoiuaion tfiiiey iike as too the nature of tihat evidtanfoe. As a matter of fact we shiaiiil have a favourable report, from the WeMi Counimdst-ifoin and an unfavourable one from the EngdMi. The Government will then be told Ulnat as much consideration ougtht to be given to die Engfeh as the Wttkh le- jKxrt. Thtat is a-beaml. The Weftah Commission has viteiifced every county and eveay important centre in every county, and thoroughly ex- hamstted the subject. The English Conwais- sitomeips hit with dosed doors, and haw, as I knmv, aome to the determination not to listen fio evriSdlemce of any kind as to disputes be- tween kenduord aaid tenant. Mr Thomas Piaitker, of Clburton HaJU, on the Dee, was evicted from his farm, after he and hiis father had been on thie same holding for just 50 yearn But the CoinmiisBionietre refused to allow him to tell tihe SOOTIJ of his wrongs. Mir Parkefr was a eouinty councillor, and, as they know at Winexhaim, one of the besSt famines in that diistaiict. A meeting of Welsh members was held in London on Monday evening to consider the situation. The Right Hon. Sir G. 0. Morgan presided, and Mr Lloyd-George, M.P., moved a resolution on the subject, th nature of which has not been allowed to transpire. I hope I am right in assuming that the Welsh members are perfectly satis- fied with the case submitted to Lord Carring- ton and his fellow-Commissioners, and that they have decided to leave the English Commission severely alone. I am quite unable to see from their point of view what is to be gained by re-opening the evidence. They have submitted their case, and on that they await the verdict. If it is against them they will submit; if it is in their favour, as I have no doubt it will be, they will accept it and endeavour to force the Government to act upon it, re- gardless of the partial report, based on one- sided evidence, submitted to a. Commission sitting with closed doors and refusing to listen to tenants, who liave the misfortune to have a disagreement with their landlords. There is one matter on whaoh landowners may wa,uh advantage join hands with tenants. That is, in a common detenmin&tion ito sfuimp out margarine fnaiudk. At Gkxucester a com- panty has been fined- £50 for setting an article as butt-etr wluitdh ooaitoained 90 per cent, of fat. Writing in a trade paper on Saturday, a cor- respondent wftito signs himself Faiir Tiader, c-«ayts —" The. system carried on by some l'e- tadflers is to buy margarine at 48s. per cwt., and to every two pounds of margarine mix one pound of butter, which costs lOd. per pound. Bv dloing this they get a mixture costing uiikler 7d. par pound, and se»u it at Is. and Is. 2d. per pound as pure butter."

M.P., OX LIGHT RAILWAYS.—Appended to the report of a committee on light railways which has been presented to Mr Bryce, M.P., is the following memorandum by Mr A. C. Humphreys-Owen, the member for Montgomeryshire —While concurring gener- ally in the report, I agree with Mr Storey and Mr Channing that powers in relation to light railways should be given to County- Councils. I think legislation desirable which would enable parts of rural counties to facilitate the construction of light railways, either by providing capital for or guarantee- ing interest on the cost of construction of lines serviceable to the locality, but con- ferrine; no advantage on the county at large. Precedents for such legislation are to be found in the Lighting and Watching Act, 1833, and the Acts relating to Commis- sioners of Sewers, especially Part II. of the Land Drainage Act, 1861. I think also that the attention of Parliament and of the Board of Trade should be directed to the evils caused by improvident methods of raising money for the construction of rail- ways and tramways. Mr Sellon mentions this at several points in his evidence, and even goes so far as to say that it may be regarded as the largest head of expenditure. Sir Henry Oakley lays down as one of the conditions of success of light railways that they should be "made with honest sovereigns," and similar views are expressed by Mr Acworth, and from French informa- tion by Major Addison. In my opinion, unless a line is promoted by a public body or by an existing railway company, securities equal in value to the amount of the autho- rised share capital should be deposited by the promoters.
