I A SENSATIONAL AND IT- XO-I)ATE SERAL. I: OF ABSORBING INTEREST. I' I For Heart or Conscience ? BY I GEORGE GRIFFITH, Author uf "A Woman Against the World, The World Masters," An Angel of the I"CVIJJU(ioll, "The tlutiec uf 18venge." &c., etc. Will Commence Publication In Our Columns on Saturday, September 30th. T --]o{- In this his latest novel, Mr. George Griffith grapples with modern problems, and pour- trays with vividness and skill some of the most dramatic episodes for which a parallel can be found in this somewhat prosaic every- day existence of ours. That speculators, co--nl)ativ promoters, and gamblers in stocks and shtires appear to have their own cod-- of morality, the author makes clear, as also the fact that they sometimes endeavour to procure a scapegrace for their own misdeeds. Such is the case in the indictment of Lord Over bury, a too-con filing nobleman, who thanks to the efforts of Kenneth Markham is unconditionally acquitted. This young barrister, who will not accept a brief until he is convinced of the merits of the case, is a tine charactor-oiie of nature's noblemen. His father is ruined by the machinations of an unscrupulous syndicate of company-pro moters. Prostrated on his death-bed the old man dictates a will enacting that the whole of his private fortune should be distributed amongst the poor shareholders of his com- panies. Before he can append his signa- ture, however, be is called away. Never- theless Kenneth (the act is characteristic of the man") seconded by his mother and sister decides that the unsigned will shall be given effect, to and the family honour vindicated cveri at the cost of impoverishment. This almost quixotically honest course of action, effectually baffles the cabal of shady financi- ers, who, not content with procuring the ruin of Markham, meditate designs on his priv- ate fortune. For this purpose Asbford, one of their number, has been compelled to forge certain underwriting policies in the name of the dead man. The chance meeting of Mrs Lilias klsley and her former lover, Arthur Eversley, in the city, becomes,in the light of after events, fraught with much significance in its effect on the course of the narrative. His renew- ed infatuation for the young and charming widow is apparently rec procated. So much so in fact that she agrees to nurse him back to health. A sinister light is thrown on her motives, however, by her methods of nurs- ing. Nor does she appear to realise the real enormity of her conduct until her slumber- ing moral faculties arc roused by her newly- born passion for Kenneth Markham. Does the young: lawyer fall a prey to the wiles of this fascinating Delilah, or does he remain true to his first brown haired and brown eyed sweetheart Mercia Reynold The re- sult of the contest between love and duty- ( heart and conscience, on Kenneth's part, we must leave the reader to gather from the author's story. In conclusion we may say that For Heart or Conscience" is a story on essentially modern lines, thrilling, dramatic i and forceful, and is brought to a strong and felicitous conclusion. 4 1 < READ For Heart or Si pt it Conscience ? 4ti da us ,,v tie sy: Gc bit George Griffith, It will commence in our issue of September 20th.
Prestatyn Urban District 1…
Prestatyn Urban District Council. MONTHLY MEETINC: rhE SURVEYOR AND LADY MCLAREN S NEW ROAD. MONDAY.—Present Mr Thus. Jones. J.P. (chairman), Rev F Jewell, and Messrs \V H Coward, J.P., T J Scott, J B Linnell. r B Griffith, Peter Ellis, A Greenwood,1 Jno Williams, T Parry Williams, and rhos. Hughes, with the Clerk (Mr fno. Hughes) and the Surveyor (Mr William Thomas). The Pierrate. The recommendation of the Road Committee that Mr Aiston be given per- m ission to bring his pierrots herf again next year for a rental of .£111 "\V:1: adopted. Lady McLaren's New Road. The Surveyor presented a detailed report as to the condition of the new road between Nant Hall Road and Marine Road. The total width of the bridge and approaches was 27 feec. There being a footway oft. Bin. wide on either side, the width of the carriage way was 20 feet. The road on the south side was 1 2 yards in width. Weeds were much in evidence on the new road, and some very effective method would have to be adopted to satisfactorily get rid of them. otherwise they were certain to be a source of great expense to the Council in the event of t hI) road being taken over as it stood. The surface of the road was of Penmaenmawr granite, and as far as the bridge and r aiii approaches were concerned, it was in good condition, but the portion leading from Nant Hall Road was too Hat in some places, and would require about t-() loads of stone to give it a satisfactory crown. The paths at the junction with Xant Hall Road were finished oil abruptly. A great improvement would be effected by round- ing off the corners at that point. In other details also there was considerable room for improvement, it was important that there should be some distinct understand- ing as to the banks alongside the bridge approaches. Were they to become the property uf the Council? If not, who would be responsible for the care of the trees ? Concluding, the Surveyor Raid: I am assuming in this report that th• Council have already agreed not to enforce I kerbiu^, channelling, sewering, lighting, and paving therefore I do not make any comment on those matters." The Road Committee repoited having had the report under consideration, and the decision they came to was to write to Lady McLaren, drawing her attention to l the fact that the Council's resolution upon ( the road, passed in November last, had not been complierl with. The Health Committee Reported that the Surveyor had found all the workshops in the district, with one exception, satisfactory, and in that case matters requiring attention were being dealt with. The scavenging was proceeding satisfactorily. All the slaugh- ter-houses were in good order. Matters for Investigation. It was reported that a committee had been appointed to deal with a question of encroachment at the quarry also with an application by Mr W J Williams, The Stores, Station Road, for consent to con- tinue the pavement along the whole length of his frontage and with a letter from Mr Frank Jewell asking the Council to inspect Pendref Avenue with a view to taking over that road. Anothar Bungalow. Plans submitted by Mr Partington. Liverpool, for a bungalow in Sandy Lane. were passed. £ s. d. The Finance Committee reported that the receipts for August totalled £:3()2 18s. 5d., made up as follows :— General district rate, £ 219 19s. Id.; water rate, f, i-),,5 0s. I od.; private street works. £ 24 15s.; miscel- laneous. £3 os. 6d- The total collections to date amounted to £8S3 Is. lid. Rhyl County School A Little Grievance. A letter was read from Jr J Roberts Jones. Clerk of the Governors of the Rhyl County School, intimating that Mr Scott's term of ollice as the repre- sentative of the Council on that body had expired. Mr Coward, in proposing Mr Scon's re- election, spoke appreciatively of the services he-had rendered in that capacity. Mr Griffith seconded. Mr Jewell Must our nominee be a member of the Council V Tile Chairman An outsider may be chosen. After a pause the Chairman declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr Scott, in thanking his colleagues for again reposing their confidence in him, said the work embraced a question in which he had taken considerable interest. In his capacity as a governor of the Rhyl County School he thought he could claim to have been able to obtain bursaries for children whose parents could not arford the full fees from Pres- tatyn. He did not think the advantages and benetits of the school were sufficiently known. The sum distributed in scholar- ships or bursaries, internal and external, amounted to as much as f 175 a year-a sum which very materially helped chil- dren to apceii(C the educational ladder. Hitherto Prestatyn had had only one representative on the governing body. But now he would have as colleague Mi- Thomas Williams, whom the County Council had appointed in the place of the late Mr Llcnvelyn Jones (hear, hear). The Chairman said he was dad to learn that Prestatyn now had two repre- sentatives on the governing body of the County School. Still he was not quite satisfied. He was disappointed at not finding the name of Mr Scott, as repre- senting Prestatyn, in the list of persons identified with last week's bazaar. Repre- sentatives were chosen from Newmarket, Rhuddlan, and St Asaph, and surely Prestatyn was as much entitled to a repre- sentative as any of those places. He hoped that in future undertakings in connection with the school a fair share of representation would be accorded I Prestatyn (hear. hear).

The Church In Wales and the…
The Church In Wales and the Commonwealth. NEVEil FORMALLY DISESTABLISHED BY PARLIAMENT. There is a good deal of misunderstand- ing as to the position of the Church both in England and in Wales in the time of the Commonwealth. The facts seem to be briefly these, so far as one is able to gather them from the scanty records of the periods. The great authority to whom one turns first is naturally the Collec- tion of Acts and Ordinances," from Nov- ember, 1640, to September, 1656, made by Henry Scobell, Clerk of the Parliament. In this (published in 1658), on turning to the Acts of February and March, 1649, we find that cap. 70 is an Act for the better Propagation and rreaching ot trie Gospel in Wales, Ejecting Scandalous Ministers, and Redress of Some Griev- ances to continue for three years, from the Feast of Annunciation of Our Lady, as the Book of Common Prayer still calls the day. March 25, 1650. It is. by the way. an odd fact that the S P G," the Church Society for the Propagation of the Cospel. takes its title from the time of the Commonwealth, but that is a mere detail. The Act just cited was brought in on January 29, 1649-50 (the anniver- sary of the murder of the king), and was passed on February 22, a Bill for the accomplishment of the same work in England being brought in on the latter date. But this was no Dill of disestablish- ment, though when it was put in force for the ejectment of a priest who was of scandalous life, it, doubtless, often hap- pened that an unordained person was allowed to fill the pulpit, and do his best to soothe the aggrieved parishioners." The act of disestablishment was one which applied to England and Wales alike, and was the well-known ordinance of October 9. 1C46. entitled, "An Ordi- nance for the Abolishing of Archbish- ops and Bishops within the Kingdom of England and Dominion of Wales, and for settling of their lands and possessions upon trustees for the use of the common- wealth." To this was appended, in April 1650. an Act of Further Provision for Ministers and other Pious Uses, by which the trustees were numerically strengthen- ed and given new powers. These latter included provisions for the payment of "preachers out of the property taken from the Church, for the granting of leases for six years, for the payment of £ 2,000 a year to the heads of the univer- sity houses (not to exceed il 00 apiece), for the payment of £ 80 a year to the Oxford Margaret lecturer, for the collec- tion of outstanding rents from this prop- erty, and so on, with sundry minor pro- visions. The advowsons were reserved by this Act to the respective purchasers, and the colleges, universities, and schools of Eton and Winchester were specially exempted. So, also, were all the Welsh "rents issues, and profits of impropria- tions and revenues" under the terms of the Act at first cited. For the benefit of those who wish to look more closely into the matter, we may conclude by citing the various Acts. They are— (1) The Act for the abolishing of arch-I bishops and bishops in England and Wale3, and settling their lands and pos- sessions on trustees for the use of the commonwealth. October 9, 1649. (2) An Act for the abolishing of deans, chapters, canons, prebends, and other offices and titles belonging to any cath- .1 zn edral or collegiate church or chapel in England and Wales. April ;)0, 1641.4. (3) An Act for the sale of the lands and possessions of the late deans, &c, and for the better and more speedy execution of the former Acts. &c. (Only cited in 1650 as "another Act.") (4) The Act for providing maintenance of preaching ministers and other pious uses. June 8, 1649. (5) The Act for the propagation of the Gospel in Wales, February 22, 1649. (0) The Act of Further Provision. April 5. 1650.

----------|The Burden of Education.
The Burden of Education. The financial problem is really a very serious one, in view of the obligations in respect of elementary education which the county authorities are now called upon to face. It is obvious that, once a settlement of the present controversy over the elementary schools is arrived at, the local education authorities will, in every instance, be compelled to make further demands upon the rates. Xow. it so happens that, with the exception of London, Wales is already the most heav- ily rated portion of the United Kingdom for purposes of education. The amount per head of local contributions for edu- cational purposes was returned a year ago as 3s. in England, 4s. 10tl. in Scot- land, and 5s. 8:(1. in Wales. One hears much less grumbling against a high edu- cation rate in Wales than in England, but it is evident from these figures that even Wales will rebel against the imposition of a much heavier burden than that which she now bears. The opinion was expressed in an English educational con- ference the other day that it would be useless to expect any really adequate support for secondary education from local authorities in England, and a de- mand was made for the direct subven. tion of secondary education by the Treas- ury. Things are not quite so bad in Wales, for the secondary schools had had a good start before primary education became the concern of the county coun- cils. But in Wales no less than in Eng- land the need will very soon be felt of a full iuquiry into the matter of education finance, with a view to the better adjust- ment of the relative burdens of the rate- payer and the taxpayer.—" Manchester Guardian."

Old Flintshire Elections,…
Old Flintshire Elections, i, The statute 27 Henry VIII. cap. 26. enacted ] ;hat Wales should be for ever united to the < kingdom of England, that all Welsh-born should have the same liberties as others the king's subjects, that land in Wales should be inheritable according to the English tenure, and that the laws of England should be used in and no other. The statute of 31 and 35 Henry YIII confirms the same and divides Wales i .to twelve counties. and provided for a knight for every shire and one for every borough being a shire town, except the shire town of Merioneth. These knights had their fee^paid by thecommonselecting them. These Acts also founded the Courts of Great Sessions for Wales (abolished 1 William IV). The pay WHS 4s per day for a knight of the shIre, and i!s for the borough member, during the sitting of parliament. The ancient contribu- tory boroughs of Flintshire were Flint, Rhuddlan, Caerg-wrle. Overton, and Caerwys. Hoiywell, Mold, and St. Asaph being added by the Reform Act of 1832. The first knight of the shire recorded is Thomas Hanmer. 1553, the 7th year of Edward VI., when Edward Stanley, of Flint, was chosen to represent the boroughs. He is described as of Ewloc, and wa, buried in Hawarden church. Thomas Hanmer probably lived at Oakenholt, near Flint. William Mostyn sat for the county in the two parlia- ments of 1554. He was one of those directed by a commission from Queen Elizabeth to hold an Eisteddfod at Cwcrwy?. In 1563 John Conway was elected for the boroughs, and it is presumed he was of the Bodrhyddan family, and the John Conway who married Margaret Mostyn. It. may be here stated that up to 1568 the County Palatine of Chester claimed jurisdiction in Flintshire, but at that time as a result of a roval com- mission isstel it joined itself to the Prin- cipality of Wales." The connection of Flint with the Palatine accounts for the borough of Flint having no armorial bearings, being up to its severance entit'ed to th jse of the Palatinate. In 157 Edward Morgau, junior, son of Edward Morgau, of Golden Grove, was elected for the boroughs, and in 1611 he I married Anne, daughter of the John Conway already referred to. Passing by several elections we nud that after the accession of Chides 1 in 1025, John Trevor was re-elect,cd for the county and William Ravenscroft for the borough. In 1640 John Mostyn was elected knight~of the shire. He was second son of Brave Sir Roger Mostyn." Mr John Salusbury, Bache- graig, was a member for the county subse- quently, and he and Mr John Mostyn were in lli43 declared by the House of Commons unfit to sit, "for deserting the service of the House, being in the King's quarters, and adhering to that party." In 1635 the amount of the ship money demanded from the borough of Flint was £ 16, and from the whole county £738 4s 8d. In 1642 the King and Parliament involved the country in war, and the nobility and gentry of Flint- shire sided with the Royalists, except some of the Ravencrofts, the Trevors, and a few others. Whilst the King was at York a petition was presented to him bv the" gentry, ministers, and freeholders of the county of Flint," expressive of their loyalty to him, and to which a gracious reply was sent. On the 7th December, 1646, John Trevor sat for the county and Thomas Middleton for the boroughs. The former sided with the dominant party, and by Charles II. was made a privy Councillor. Mr Middleton was not an ardent Parliamentarian. In 1655, when the Royalist feeling in these parts was not subdued, the grand jury of the county promised to counteract all plots, &c., in be- half of the sonne of the late king." Most of the knights and gentlemen of the county had to compound with the Parliament for their estates. Sir Roger Mostyn of Mostyn paying £852, equal to about in our days. To the first Parliament convened on the accession of Charles II Kendrick Eyton was returned for the county and Roger Whitley for the boroughs. The former was of Eyton, and the other of Aston Hall, Hawardeu. In 1C61 Sir Henry Conway, Bart, of Bod- rhyddan, was chosen for the county, being succeeded on his death by Sir Thomas Hanmer. eight years afterwards. In the reign of James II, Sir John Conway, Bodrhyddan, was elected for the boroughs. He was a great supporter in after years of the House of Hanover, all his neighbours being strong Jacobites. He died in 721, and his daughter succeeded to his estates. His grand-daughter married Watkin Williams M.P. for Flint Boroughs, and his great-grandson, Colonel Shipley, was returned for the same constitu- eucv iu 1807. Sir John Hanmer, the then member for the boroughs, took a prominent part in the revo- lution which placed William and Mary on the throne, and because one of their general offict-rs in Ireland. In the Parliaments of J 698 and 1701 Sir John Conwav was returned for the county, and Thomas Mostyn for the boroughs. He was the second 80n of Sir Thomas Mostyn, and married Margaret, heiress of William Mostyn of Rhyd. Sir Thomas Hanmer, who was elected for the couuty in the first year of Queeu Anne, was subsequently Speaker of the House of Com- I mons. Another Flintshire man had been Speaker in the reign of William. This was Sir John Trevor, and he was expelled from the house for receiving a bribe of a. thousand guineas from the City of London for expedit- ing a bill. Passing by several elections we come to 1734, when Sir George Wynne of Leeswood was elected for the boroughs, his opponent being Sir John Glynne of Hawarden, who is stated to have spent £ 35,000 in it his opponent also spending possibly an equally enormous amount. That was in the good old days when votes were of real value In 1807 there were not 500 voters, and they must have been fewer in 1734, so that some of the electors made quite fortunes out of the can- didates. The election lasted fourteen days, and took place at Flint. Sir John was "so crippled that he left Hawarden for some years, and lived quietly at Rhyddyu, near Caergwrle while Sir George died a debtor in the King's Bench Prison. There is a tradi- tion that he had made a present of a hundred fine oxen to George II. In 1796 there were three champions in the county field, Sir Thomas Mostyn, who secured 52 votes; John Lloyd, of Tryddyn, Mold, 30 and the Hon, Lloyd Kenyon, 10. The last two retived on the first day of the poll. But as Sir Thomas was a minor, Mr Lloyd filled the seat until 1799, when Sir Thomas took it. He was the last baronet of his branch of the family. For the new Parliament of 180C, Sir Edward Pryce Lloyd, Bart., brother-in- law of the county member, was returned for the boroughs, and the election was described as follows in the '• Chester Chronicle" of Nov. 14th:- On Friday last, the Election for a Burgess to serve in Parliament for the Borough of Flint commenced, and ended on Tuesday last. The candidates were Sir Edward Pryce Lloyd, Bart., Sir Stephen Richard Glynne, and Col. Shipley. Francis R Price, Esq. (who had issued an addreBS, but retired), in a very eloquent speech, proposed I Sir Stephen R Glynne, and was Becondcd by F Llvyd Fletcher, Colouel Shipley was proposed 3y the Rev R Maurice, and seconded by the Dean )f St Asaph. The Rev Mr Davjes (Rector of M flint) then came forward, and in a neat and im- pressive speech, which in the coarne of its delivery met with the unanimous plaudils of the electors', issembled, proposed Sir Edvv.ird P Lloyd, Rart., ind was seconded by R Ellis. Ksq. The show of hands was considerably in favour -of Sir Edward 1' Lloyd, when a poll was demanded by ths other candidates. The state of the l'oll at the close was as follows For Sir Edward Pryce Lloyd. 107 Sir Stephen R Glynne 9.11 Colonel Shipley 61 Early on Tuesday morning, Cclouel Shipley and Sir Stephen R Glynne appeared upon the hustings and after thanking the electors for the support they had received, declined the contest, and Sir E I' Lloyd was declared duly elected." Sir Ed. Price Lloyd was born in 1769, and married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Rosjer Mostyn, by whom he had issue the late Lord Mostyn and the Hon. Thomas Price Lloyd. In 1807, when another election took place, the feeliug was increased against the Mostyn family monopolizing the two seats, and a fierce contest took place in the boroughs. The contest stood between Col. Shipley, Sir Stephen Glynne. and Sir E P Lloyd, and lasted between the 13th and the 26th of May. On the 10th, the last-mentioned retired, Ii] votes having been recorded for him; and when Col. Shipley had received 129 and Sir Stephen 128. On the following day 32 voted for the former, and 33 for the latter, and so the voting continued within close quarters, ending with Col. Shipley's 193 to Sir Stephen Glynne's iSl. Col. Shipley was the eldest son of the Very Rev. William Davies Shipley, Dean of St Asaph, who married the granddaughter of Sir John Conway of Bodrhyddan. Col Shipley married a daughter of Sir Watkin, and was succeeded in his estates by his son William, who took the name of Conway in addition to that of Shipley. In 1812 Col Shipley retired at a general election, and Sir E P Lloyd was returned unopposed. He continued to hold his seat during the remainder of the reign of George III. During the ten years of George IV, Sir Thom :s Mostyn, unopposed, represented the county, and Sir E P Lloyd the boroughs. The election of 1826 is thus described in the Chester Chronicle." '■ 18*26. Friday, June 16. -01, Tuesday last, Sir Edward Pryce Lloyd, Baronet, of Pengwern, in the Cuuuty of Flint, brother-in law to the much-re- specled County Member, Sir Thomas Mostyn, Bart., was for th fifth time, without opposition, elected to serve in the coming Parliament for the Horouchs of Flint, Caerwys, Rhyddlau, Caergwrle, and Over- ton. Sir Edward was escorted to Holywell, on his WaY to Flint, by a large and respectable party of friends, preceded by the Holywell Union Amateur Band of Music.' Toe cavalcade, accom- panied by an immense concourse of people, arrived at the Town Hall; where the Court was opened with the usual ceremonies, before Messrs Kendrick and Ledsham, the Bailiffs, and John Oldfield, Esq., of Farm, the Recorder of the Borough. The Honourable Baronet was proposed by Major Fletcher, and seconded by the Rev the Vicar of Rhyddlan in neat and appropriate speeches, and was duly declared elected. He returned thanks for the honour done him, and was afterwards chaired aiound the town amidst the loud and deafening acclamations of a large body of people." On the accession of William IV the two old members were returned unopposed. 41 At the close of the proceedings on the hustings Sir Edward (in the borough elec- tion) was chaired to the Ship Inn, and on his way thither he scattered silver amongst the crowd, which excited a good deal of merriment among the people. An order was immediately given to open every inn and public-house in the town, &c. The election dinner was held in the Ship Inn. After- wards Sir E P Lloyd and friends visited the Royal Oak Inn, where a large company of his friends dined, and he afterwards paid his respects to the burgesses at the other public-houses." Sir Prycc Lloyd was a reformer and voted for the Catholic Emancipation Act. An election took place the following year; and as the member for the county died about the time of the dissolution Mr E M Lloyd Mostyn (the late Lord Mostyn; was elected in his stead, Sir E P Lloyd retaining his borough seat so that father and son represented at this period the two constituencies. Both were in favour of Lord John Russell's Reform Bill. In the following September Sir E P Lloyd was called to the Upper House, to assist Lord Grey iu the attempt to pass the second reform bill. Here, as elsewhere, likely Tory candidates in anticipation of the general election had been pricked for High Sheriff, and thus Sir Stephen Glynne, Hawarden, was prevented from standing for the Fiint Boroughs. His brother, Mr Henry Glyune, however, was nominated, and elected unop- posed. The usual conviviality followed at Flint, "and we have no doubt," says the newspaper of the period, that as the fumes of the liquor got up, many a Welshman would fall a martyr to the jolly god." 44 The festivities were kept up at Hawarden the castle was opened to all comers, and meat and prime ale were distributed to the visitors." The young member subsequently became the Rev Henry Glynne, Rector of Hawarden, aud Canon of St Asaph. He was a!so a noted antiquary, dying 29th July, 1872. In Feb., 1832, he resigned the seat, and his brother, Sir Stephen Glynne, was elected without opposition. He continued member until 1837, and died unmarried in 1874. In 1832 there were 361 voters at Flint, most of them scot and lot, and 169 at Rhuddlan. A general election took place on the acces- sion of Queen Victoria. Mr Robert John Mostyn, of Calcot, a Tory, and Mr Charles Whitley Dun das, Whig, contested the boroughs, the former being elected by 5,1)1 to 393 votes. At Rhuddlan 111 voted for the successful candidate, whilst his opponent had but six votes there. In the County, how- ever, the Tory, Sir Stephen Glynne, got 941 votes, against the Hon. E Lloyd Mostyn's 906. In 1811, Sir Richard Bulkeley, of Baron Hill, a Whig, was returned unopposed for the boroughs. In the county, Mostyn this time beat Glynne by 1,236 to 1,193. This was a very exciting contest, and riots took place at Mold, the military being sent for to restore peace. But Sir Edward Mostyn was unseated on a bribery petition, and Sir Stephen claimed the seat. In 1847, Sir John Hanmer was elected for the boroughs, and retained his seat until his death in 1872, being succeeded by Sir Robert Cunliffe, Messrs P Ellis Eyton, John Roberts and Herbert Lewis. The Hon. Edward Lloyd Mostyn had a walk-over in the county, as Sir Stephen did not contest the seat. But in 18;7 he made a final attempt to wrest the county seat from the Mostyns, and failed by 1,169 to 876. The Right Hon. W E Gladstone addressed the electors on behalf of his brother-in-law; his address in front of the Town Hall at Rhyl and the heckling of the Rev. Aaron Frances are still fresh in the memory of some of the oldest inhabitants. I We are indebted for the above facts to Mr I Henry Taylor's 4< Historic Notices of Flint," a most interesting work. 1 — — — I
