Sir,—I am directed by the Local Government Board to advert to your letter of the 20th ultimo, stating that the Rural District Council of Penllyn have resolved to withdraw their application for sanction to borrow &5C0 for the provision of a Cemetery for the parish of Llan- uwchllyn, and I am to enquire on what grounds the District Council have decided to adopt this course. I am, at the same time, to forward to you herewith the enclosed copy of a letter which the Board have received from the Rev. Willinm r-Iughes. Vicar of the Parish,and to request that the Board may be furnished with any observations which the District Council may have to offer thereon. I am, at the same time, to observe that the course that the DistrictCouncil apparently contemplate taking with the view of providing the funds required for the purchase of land referred to is one for which they have no legal authority. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant. (Signed) H. C. MORRS, J. R. JONES, ESQ., Assistant Secretary. Clerk to the Rural Dis. Council of Penllyn. TTefyd, darllenwvd y llythyr canlynol » anfon- wyd gan y Parch. W. Hughes, Vice)' Llannwch- llyn, at Fwrdd y Llywodraeth Leol ar yr un mater,— LLANUWCHLLYN VICARAGE, BAI.A, February 25th, 1899. Dear Sir,- The Penllyn District Council have decided in direct opposition to the advice of their legal adviser to withdraw their application to your Board for powers to borrow /500 for the purpose of provid- ing a new Burial Ground for the Parish of Llanuwch- llyn, and so avoid the necessitv of a public Enquiry on the question which the Parish Council seems to dread. They have however, purchased, by means of a private loan. land which has already been used for burial purposes. This private loan they are now seeking to have repaid by means of a charge on the local rate which will amount at least to 9d. in the £ on each ratepayer. Have the Parishoners who are dissatisfied with these proceedings any remedy in the form of restrain- ing powers, and compelling a public Enquiry ? How is that restraining power, if any, to be used, through you or otherwise. I am, Yours faithfully, (Signed). WILLIAM HUGHES, Vicar of Llanuwchllyn and Rural The Secretary, Dean of Penllyn. Local Government Board. Darllenwyd y Ilythyr canlynol 'oddiwrth Gadeirvdd Cyngor Plwvf Llanuwchllyn, at Glerc Cyngor Dos- barth Penllyn Dear Sir,-In answer to your letter of April 4, I beg to make the following statements. ISt. with regards to the grounds on which the Llan- uwchllyn Parish Council requested the Dis. Council to withdraw the application for sanction to borrow £$00. Owing to the pressing need for a cemetery, & owing to the delay in getting the enquiry, a Parish Meeting, duly convened, & held for the purpose on Jan. 20,1899, resolved that the question of the cemetery was to be proceeded with, & empowered the Parish and District Councils to withdraw the application if they thought it expedient. The P C. decided to withdraw the ap- plication for sanction to borrow, owing to the reasons stated above, and owing to the smallness of the sum required, & to charge the cost of cemetery, when re- curred, on the rate. This plan was unanimously con- firmed by the Parish Meeting held April 13. 2ndly, with regard to the letter sent by the Rev. W. Hughes to the Local Government Board. A committee composed of myself, Messrs W Morris. T. Jones. and O. M. Edwards, was appointed at the Parish Meeting, held April 12, to draw up observations embodying certain instructions unanimously resolved upon during the meeting. The committee met Apr" 14, and reported as follows :— 14, and reported as follows :— (a) The Dis. Council have acted all through accord' ing to the advice of the legal adviser. (b) The Llanuwchllyn Parish Council did not dread a public enquiry, but, on the contrary, it did everything within its power to obtain it. It was felt that the delay was very long, and when at last an inspector was sent by the Local Government Board, the en- quiry, through no fault of the Parish Council, or of District Council, could not be held. The possibility of another equally long delay caused the Parish Meet- ing to give the Parish Council power to withdraw the application for an enquiry. Ie) The P. Council and the Dis. Council have not purchased any land, and have not received any private loan. The Committee also begs to state that the meetings of the P.Council and P. Meetings have been numerous, and that any one who had attended any of these could not have laboured under the misconcep' tions expressed in the Rev. W. Hughes's letter to Sec. of Loc. Gov. Board. Also, the P. Council have beeD absolutely unanimous in all their transactions, and their action has been confirmed by the P. MeetingS. always very numerously attended, with absolutely unanimity. The P.Council,the Committee reports in conclusion, has decided unanimously to purchase land for the cemetery, and to do the necessary work on it, and to pay within a short time, and they will not apply for a sanction for any loan. This has been unanimously confirmed by a very numerously attended P.Meeting. April 14, 1899. J. M. JONES.

Dywedai Mr. Davies yn mhellach, fod un dyn wedi ymosod arno ef yn bersonol, gan ddweyd fod y Cyngor Dosbarth yn unfrydol o'r farn mai peidio tynu yr ymchwiliad ydoedd y goreu, ond mai ef (Mr. Davies) oedd yr achos iddynt wueyd.
