DOLUELLEY. LEOAL.-The Lord Chief Justice of England has granted his commission to Mr J. Charles Hughes, solicitor, for taking the acknowledgments of married women in the county of Merioneth. MUSICAL.—Miss Edith Arnfield, eld-st daughter of Mrs Arnfield, Music Warehouse, a former pupil of Dr Williams's School, has been appointed organist of the Chapel.of Ease at Arthng. OBITUARY.—Many of our readers will hear wit i regret of the death of old Lowry Humphreys, late caretaker of St Mary's C'.iurch. She was eighty- five years of age and was be oldest inh <bi:atit of the parish. By her c iur'e.-y, geniality, and popu- larity she won the sympathy and the, admirxtion ef all who knew her. CLEVER CAPTUItE.-f-)ust,riia ion WAS created in Lombard-street, Weil-street, and Cader-road on Tuesday eveuing by a report tha' a prisoner had escaped from the Police Station. Tli--escap-d one had all his its about him and had to be chased over house tops, chimney stacks, and trees for about an hour. Several experts were calle I to the rescue and eventually Mr Eme-i Blwy-idyn, be local chimney s^eepec, captur d the wary one iu Plasgwyn Garden?. It turned ou that the run- away captive was a young canary, the property of P.-G. Richard Owen, Police St-ttien, and wa- at once confined to nis usual barred quarters. No special sessions were held. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL, SATCRD AY, Jny lsT.Present: Mr John Evans, Ba-mouth chairman, pr>-si iing Messrs Jot,ii R s'oerts, Bnthdir and I-la*vruref Cnarles Williaov, Llan. aber ELis Pugh ,¡"ll S, Llandd wyweis Richard Jom-s, Llanell yd Hugh Evans and Morris Griffith Williams, Ll«"enddwyn Robert Hilghes and Hywel Pugh. IJ "'f'cht-erh M yrick Roberts, Llaofihangel John Pugh Jones, Taiy- Ilyn W. R. Riebardfon, actng el, rk Dr Hugh: Jones, medical officer Tite Clerk rt ad a let er respect ing King's Mill saying that the requirements would be attended to, but it was r.ot correct to s AY that -the sleeping ro ms had no fire landlord was not responsible for the position of the manure heap clS there was plenty of room elsewhere.—Mrs Scoit, Pemarthuciiaf, wrote D,.ar sir, I am in receipt of your lett-r of June 6th respeotir.g my far.nhouse, Caerbella i. Probably tin .Medical Officer of Heath is unaware that the cf tiie I house has always been in the same state it is now in and that it is no worse. With reference to the frames of windows in the attics, it is odd that the tenant should not have complained to me or to my bailiff if they Were in the state he represents. Per- haps he is also unaware that for my own and my tenants' sakes, I am not in the habit of allowing my farm houses to fall into bad repair. With respect to the state of the open drains a.bout the houses in the district, I think his time will be fully taken up if he succeeds in getting them kept clean. If the Rural District Council would see that the wall of the bridge at Pontygarth, which has been partially knocked down for over twelve months, was repaired, I think it would be of greater consequence than overlooking my farm houses which I and my bailiff are able to do ourselves.Dr Jones said it was his duty to report upon such matters, and letters of that kind would not deter him from doing his duty.—It was resolved to ask that the work should be done by Mrs Scott in a month.—It having been stated that Pontygarth bridge was repairable by the county authority, the Clerk suggested that the attention of the County Surveyor should be drawn to the matter but Mr Charles Williams said he did not see why the Council should mind other people's business and the Council agreed with him, -Mr Aosell, Gcrsygedol, wrote saying that he was in treaty with a contr.AcTor to repair Aberseirw. It was al,o stated that the comp'aiut as to liquid manure flowing into drinking water at Llwyngwril had been remedied. Corri* —Mr Owen, clerk to Talyllyn Parish Council, wrotj drawing the attent on of the Coun- cil to the state of the bottom of Curris caused by persons throwing refuse into the stream. The Council also drew attention to the stench arising from the stables at the Railway Station. The Parish Council thought that nothing effectual could be done until the police assisted in detecting offenders throwing refuse into the river.—Mr J. P. Jones said he c uld speak from experience and say that the place was in a very bad state. He was glad that the Padsh Council had Liken the matter up.—Dr Hugh Junes said the Council could utilize the police and had power to prosecute. There were no sewers or drains at Corris and in view of the great expense their construction would entail there was a hes'ti.ncy in asking that drains and sewers should be made. What was being dona ,was done in the direction of scavenging. If the police would get evidence, the Council could deal successfully with the complaint of throwing refuse into the s ream. — Mr Meyrick Roberts asked if there was a place for the reception of refuse?—Dr Hugh Jones replied that a cart was taken about to collect refuse twice a week but be thought that receptacles should be provided in different places. -Mr J. P. Jones said that all sorts of things were thrown into the stream and last week the smell was something awful.—It was decided to have notices erected cautioning people against throwing refuse into the stream but to put it with the ashes, the impression prevailing that ashes only were to be taken away by the scavengers. The Medical Officer's Report.-Dr Hugh Jones, the medical officer, presented his monthly reporc which stated that on June 6th he visited Gorwyr, Brithdir and Islaw'i dref, the walls and roofs of which were defective and not proof against wind and water. The sleeping-rooms were low, badly ventilated, and bad no ceilings. The floor was also dilapidated. There were no eaves troughs. On the same dats examined Llwyntalcin in the same parish. The gable of the house was in the soil to a great height. The sleeping-rooms were most confined and inefficiently ventilated owing to the roof being so low and to the want of fireplaces and proper windows. There were no ceilings. The house was in a most unsatisfactory conditon. On June 9.h again visited Byrdir, Dyffryn, as re- quested by the Council and could only confirm his previous repott in every particular. He also ex- amined BiyulJysg in the vicinity. The sleeping- rooms were not properly ventilated owing to the windows not being made to open sufficiently. The da ry was small, dark, and unventilated. The pigsties were close to and within a yard of the h(juse and a cowshed was attached to the gable end of the house. There were no eaves troughs. On the same date he insppcted Llwyngwian Fach in the same parish. The soil was right up the eaves at -be back of the hou-e and was most unwhole- some. Tnere were no eaves troughs and the water percolated through the walla into the kitchen in bad weather. The sleeping-rooms had no ceilings and the roof was so low as to make them positively dangerous from a health point of view. The house was quite unfit for human habitation. On June loth visited with the Sajitary Insppctor Bodwlan spring which it was proposed to utilize as a water supply for Llwyngwril. A sample was taken for analysis and he had received a report saying that the water is clear and bright and free from smell and taste. It is a pure water and, I am of opinion, well suited for drinking purposes and domestic u-e. The Sanitary Inspector also took gaugiogs which he said was most satisfactory. On June 29th examined Panteiddwyn, Dyffryn, occu- pied by Mrs Pugh. The roof of the hou-e was de- fective and allowed water to get through. There were no ceiiings for the sleeping-rooms. On the same date again examined Penrhiw-terrace, Llan- aber. upon which- lie reputed some months ago. The drainage of the houses was in a disgraceful condition and he must again ask the Council to in- sist that that condition of things was remedied without delay, dangerous consequences might, supervene. There had been an extensive outbreak of measles throughout a large portion of the dis- trict during the past few weeks, over 160 cases having been already notified, but no deaths. I Llwyngwril, Llanfachreth, Brithdir, Llanelltyd, Ganllwyd, Bontddu. Dyffryn, and Bryncoedifor j schools had been closed.—Mr Charles Williams said in respeet of one matter in the report the case had been reported upon, notice given, aud nothing had been done. He thought matters should be cirrit-d out and not reported on re- ppatedly. — Dr Hugh Jones added that the case re- ferred to py Dr Williams was really dangerous to health and should be seen to.—It was agreed to ask that the work referred to should be done within a month.—It was also resolved to serve notices in respect of the other cases mentioned in the report. Llwyngwril Wxter Supply.—A letter was read from Mr D. Gillart, agent to the Countess de Morella's Llwyngwril Estate, saying in reference to an interview he had had w ith a deputation from the Council relative to the water supply that he should be glad to receive instructions to proceed with the adoption of the substituted scheme. The sooner some decision was arrived at the better, as he understood that the Countess de Morella was desirous that the matter should be proceeded with as quickly as possible.—A report was read showing that the outflow of water at the springs was satis- factory.—Mr Ellis Pugh Jones sa d he had been using water for years taken from the place con- demned by Dr Jones because sheep were washed in the stream above. In order to avoid be extra cost of the new scheme, he suggested that arrangements should be made whereby the water could be turned off from the reservoir during the tii-i-i- sheep were being washed.—Mr R. Hugnes said he had seen dead sheep in the Stream in fbrmer years.—Mr Meyrick Roberts proposed and Mr Ellis Williams seconded that Mr Gillart should be requested to prepare an estimate of the scheme and the propesi- tion was agreed to. Dyjfryn Water Supply.—A repoit was presented stating that the outflow from the Bronyfoel spring, Dyffryn, was 24,500 in the twenty-four hours and the source looked to be everything that was desir- able.—It was agreed tc ha\'e the wat-r analysed. Condolence.—On the proposition of Mr Meyrick Roberts, seconded by Mr Richard Jones, it was decided to pass a vote of condolence with the re- latives of Mr Rd. Williams, Dolfynncn, deceased. Time of Jleetliiq. -The trains having been altered. on the proposition of Mr Meyrick Robert5, it was agreed to meet in future at ten o'clock instead of ha'f-past ten.—Mr Charles Williams suggested that the same alteration shou!d be made in respect of the Guardians and the Clerk said he would put the matter on the agenda f< r the next meeting. Highway*.—A meeting of the Highway Board was held after the meeting of the District Council with Mr John Evans, Barmouth, in the chair, and Mr R Jones Griffith, clerk. Mr Williams, the surveyor, wrote saying he was unable to be present through having met with an accident. In the matter ot the Arthog path, the B ar,l appointed a committee consisting of three members of the Council and three ratepayers to investigate the matter pending proceedings to assert the rights the public allege to have in the path. Councillors Cadualadr Roberts, John Edwards, and William Lloyd. and Messrs John Griffith, Call,-slra. William Williams. Pork- ington, Barmouth, and T. J. Stephens, Henddol, were appointed on the Committee. A communi- cation was read from the County Authority asking the District Council to contribute to the cost of bridges over the Shervel and Rhiwlech and, on the proposition of Mr E. P. Jones, seconded by Mr Richard Jones, it was agreed to make no contribu- tion.—The Clerk was directed to press for the pay- ment of calls in arrear. -Mr Superintendent Jones applied for power to deal with a man a", Talyllyn who had been ejected from a house on Maespandy and was now living in the open surrounded by his furniture and Mr Meyrick Roberts added that he understood the man slept in an old oak chest.—It was resolved to give the police the necessary power to deal with the matter. I PETTY SESSIONS, JRLY 4TH.—Before 0. S. Wynne, in the chair Edward Griffith, R. E. LI. Richards, Thomas Edwards, J. Meurig Jones, E^qrs. j Drunk and Disorderly.—Owen Owens, Dinas j Mawddwy, was charged by P.C. Morgan Jones with having been drunk and disorderly a: Minllyn I on the 26th June.—Defendant pleaded guilty and sud that he was very grieved. He &sked for the indulgence of the Bench.—The Buneh took a lenient view of the case and fined him 2s 6d and costs. The Salmon Fishery Act. William and E'lis Roberts, English-terrace, were charge,, by W Amtry Vaughan, river watcher for the Board of Conservators, Dovey, Mawddach, and Glaslyn, for having on the 19th June a gaff in their possess on —Mr Oswald Davies appeared for the Board and Mr Guthrie Jones appeared for the defend a t)ts. -The watcher said that about 12-30 p.m. he saw the two defendants by the river side. Saw the defendant, Ellis Roberts, kneeling ner the roots in the river and working his arms as if he had something in the water. When they saw wit- ness coming up to tham they sat don and Ellis Roberts began to play upon an old pan. He aske 1 them what they saw and they replied that they were look ng for work at the piling engine close by, but that the men had gone away. He (witness) told them where the foreman was and they sat down for a few minutes. Defendants walked away in the direction of home and he (witness) went to the place where he saw defendant Ellis Roberts kneeling and found a gatf lashed to a stick (pro- duced). He called them back and accused them of using the same, which they (lenic-.d.-Upon c oss- examination by Mr Guthrie Jones, witness said he saw some poachers in the same place on the previous day and suspected them. He found no gatf in their possession nor in the roots, as he had mane a care- ful inspection. He first saw the defendants by Dr Williams's School bridge and they were looking at the river. He asked them then what they were looking for and they said tele and pointed a fine one out to hiQL-The two defendants were put in the witness box and denied all knowledge of the gaff produced. They gave every information to the keeper as to their names and their business on the spot.—-The Bench, after some deliberation, said that there was great suspicion in the case, but fhey did Dot think the tvidence was sufficiently strong to enable them to convict. The summons would b dismissed.

I Afronl the papers. MrR Grant Webster has resigned his seat for St. P ancras for private reasons. Mr Webster, who is a Conservative, w on theseat at the general election by a majority oi 289. Tne return which was published on Friday niaht shows that the total revenue of the United Kingdom for the first quarter of the current financial year amounted to £ 27,774,598, of which £ 1,SS0.S20 was paid to the local taxation accounts. This shows a net increase as compared with the j corresponding period of last year of £ 1,S05,982, and the advance is spread over every branch of the < receipts. i At Gloucestershire Assizes on Friday, Anne i Elizabeth Cottle, lately living in Newport Work- { nouse, where her child was born, was sentenced to » eighteen months' hard labour for its manslaughter. t Justice Day, in seuttneing, made some strong re- | marks upon the prisoner's conduct, saying Bhe had I marks upon the prisoner's conduct, saying she had sense enough to go to Newport Workhouse ckiring 1 her confinement for her own safety, but directly she i: left there had deliberately starved her child to t. death, her conduct being extremely shocking. i Mr Justice Byrne, in the Chancery Division this I week, had b^tore him a esse in which it was al- leged that a defendant had, acting under a licence I of tne local authcrity, divtrted the waters known as j St. WiLif re-i's v ell, in the county of Flint. The ? Judge said it had been proved that, if the iieence 1 were acted upon in any considerable degrat, it j: would cause a sensible diminution in the flow of the 1; water and he granted the injunction asked for, 4 with costs. pfcn b>T persevering to the Court of Appeal Mr. '■ Isaac Gordon," or whatever his latest name fc nas failed to obtain his pound of tiesh and has b2en obliged to accept two aad a half per cent, interest on Lis loan of £100 u the aeleadant who had paid tl02 10s. into Luart.
