1 ST. ASAPH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. DENBIGH GUARDIANS AND THE OUT- RELIEF. WHOLESALE REDUCTIONS. The fornightly meeting of this Board was held on Friday, when t:ei> were present:—Mr Edwin Morgan Tremeiroaion (chairman), Mr J. Frimston^ Rhyl (vice-chairman); Messrs John Pierce, Thomas Evans. John Jones, Jno. Roberts, Aborgele; Robi- Davier;, Rev. Lod- wiok Ellis, Itettws; Messrs R. E. Griffiths, Bodolwyddan; Bonnet Jones, Thos. Hughes, Bvlohau; O. Rees, Cef-n; J. F- Jones, Cwm; Mrs Gee, Messrs Robt. Jones, J. E. Jones, Denbigh; Ed. Wiiliam-s, Dyserth; Robt. Lloyd, Wm. WIllIams, llenllan; Wryt. Juti-es, Thcs. Salusbury, Hane-fydd; Hugh Hughes, Llan- iair; Jno.

Perks, Hugh Edward. J. Roberts Jones, 1. Batho, J. H. Ellis, R-hyl; J. D. Joncs St.. George, and Chas. Grim.-ley (clerk). THE HOUSE. It was reported that there were in the Work- house that day 133 inir-atee, as against 115 dur- ing t.ho ccrreaponding jjeriod last year. Tie vagrants relieved numbered 190, as against 208 in the previous fortnight. T'ne Master also announced that he had re- ceived a parcel of newspapers and magazincs for t-he use of the inmates from Mr Da vies, Castle House, Denbiglh, and volumes for the Workhouse Library from Mrs Grace, Bryn- polin Mawr St. Asaph. On the motion of the Chairman, a vote of thanks was accorded the donors. THE UNIFORMITY OF OUT-RELIEF. Several weeks ago the Board met in commit- tee, and went, through the relief books of the tveverai districts, and as a result Mr J. Pieroo had complained that there was more relief given in the Denbigh district than in other places, larger amounts being voted in ths former case, and he had urged more uniformi- ty. He now proposed that, with a view to ensuring greater uniformity in administering 9 9 ouWeslie-f within the Union the Relief Com- mittees in future consist of some members other tham those representing parishes within the district u.nder consideration- He thought that, if a few members from other districts sat on the Denbigh Relief Committee, and that some of the Denbigh members sat at the Aber- irele table, while the SA. Asanh (Vwirriitt.ee con- sisted of outside- membeiB the Board would find that there would be greater uniformity in the ovtrreiief. The Rev. Lodwick Ellis seconded the motion. Mr Wm Jones was of the opinion that this system would not work. and he suggested that flhey ahouid have the Chairman of the Board to sit alternately at the three tablee. lie moved that that be done- NO CRITICS WANTED. Mr Ellis Jones seconded, and said be felt it would be an insult to have absentee membeiB and new-born guardians sitting on conwiiutees trolIl other districts (laughter). He did not want them on the Denbign committee to criti- cise what wab done, as he felt that the Denbigh Guardians were the best judges of what theur poor required. The gentlemen who made com- plaJnts about, the poor getting an ex\ra six- pence wore the very first to vote for increased saJaries. He 1-new nothing about the Rhyl poor, nor did he know anything about the Abergele people and he felt that the Aber- gde and Khyl Guardians were in the same boat as regards the Denbigh poor- If members from other dist-ricts pat on cases they were not acquainted with it would be cswnply a matter of "follow your leader." Where would there be any advantage ? Let tiho Chairman visit each committee in turn, and they could trust Mr Edwin Morgan to act impartially. The Rev. Lodwick Ellis: J suppose Mr Ellis Jones was referring to me when he spoke of new-born guardians. If that is Hh 1 can only eay that I was a Guardian when he was in his teens (loud laughter). Mr Ellis Jones: Oh. I did not mean you, Mr Ellis (laughter). The. Rev. Lodwick Ellis (continuing) said he did not wish to cast any reflection on the Den- bigh Guardians, nor did he wish to reflect- on the capabilities of any member to administer relief. They were there as the representatives Qf the ratepayers, and if they mixed a little more with one another on the various commit- tees they would find that there would be great- Ieir' uniformity. lfie hoped Mx Ellis Jones would net think he reflected on the Den-bigh Gnardiarm. Mr Ellis Jones: It has been so ail along. The Rev. Lodwick Ellis added that they would be able to judge from the cases brought before them as to what each should receive. If he saw a vase from Denbigh, which was treated dw^rently ihis district, he would be able to refer to it -uid put matters right. There would be greater uniformity all round. With regard to the charge that mem- bers voted for increases of -,ajary and denied the poor an extra sixpence, he would like to know to whom Mr Ellis Jones referred. Mr Elhs Jones: I did not refer to you. The Rev. Lodwick Er is said that what he had done with regard to increased salaries was to see whether the officials did not t-ceive f- other sources ))iounts w-h;-zb went to n ake their salary up to what it should be. As re- presentatives of the ratepayers, the -Aflbeit had to see that there was no unf.ii!Mf.-3. There should be an equal distribution of the funds, and they should not g ve a r>ersoi. in one district or 6s per week when a pei;j'i in similar circumstances elsewliere oiKv ie- ceived 2s or 3s (applause). Mr I)onrett Jones, while anxious that there should be uniformity, did not view the -urigi-al proposition without a oortain amount of s-„e picion- He was sure that if they ad -2 ?d to the Standing Orders, as set out m tho Bll e Book all would bp right. Mr Robert Jones (Prestatyn) s-nd lie realised that it would be an advantage to !.wi mcrn- bers from other districts to act on the Relief Committees, but tLat. should only be cone when there were more than one member from a parish present- He would be Iitife ^i'«ig to sit on another committee if hie co-'ea-gues from Prestatyn were present, but he would object to leave his own committee if that were to deprive him of an opportunity o look t-fter the poor of his parish. In order to gain knowledge of what was done elsewhere he would be quite willing to act on 'lle Denbigh Committ-ec- when Mr Pennant WilliaII15 was present at the oommittee relating to Prestatyn. Mr Edward Williams: None of you were present to-day. Mr Robt. Jones: I beg your pardon. I wvs here to look aitcr my relief book. I cannot act on another coinmit-toc and be nerft as well. I do attend to my boob. M-r Ed. Williams: You were c <>t here in time. Mr Robt. Jomes: Let us cb;ange about when there is another from the same arish present Mr Geo. WilliamB supported Mr Robt. Jones. Mr Win. Jones appealed to The members io leave the matteir with the Chairman. Mr J. D. Jones agreed, and said everyone trusted the Cihairniaii. Mr J. H- Ellis favoured the amendment, and pointed out that there was nothing to pre- vent gentlemen of an inquisitive 'urn of mind visiting other committees. He believed that the- whole matter cropped up because, at the meeting of the Board when all the books were gone through, it was felt that the Denbigh Guardians were liberal in granting relief M well as in polities (laughter). He would like the Clerk to make a comparative return of the relieif given in each district. Mr Ellis Jones rose to reply, but was greet- ed witih cries of "Vote, vote." Mr Pie-rco said he wanted tile members to be fair, and not to be generous with their own people at the expense of. others. Ho would be quite willing to fall in with the amendment of Mr Wm. Jones, and he withdrew his pro- position. The Rev. Lodwick Ellis agreed, and the amendment was then carried- ■The Chairman said the Clerk had made arc- turn since the Board met in committee, and as a result of what they did he fe-tind that the weekly relief bad decreased in the Denbigh district- by £ 2 17s in the St. Asiph district by JE2 0s 6d and in the Aberge!e district by 19s 6d. That meant a weekly saving of E5 17e (applause). ROA.D WIDENING. It was reported that Colonel Howard had acted for the Board with Mr Luxmoore as to the widening of the road from the Workhouse to the St Asaph County School, and had suc- ceeded in getting Mr Luxrooore to consemit ta it (applause). NO INCREASE OF SALARY FOR 20 YEARS. Dr. Thomas, the Medical Officer for the Rhyl, Prestatyn, Rhuddlan, and Dyserth districts, ap- plied for an increase of salary from £ 78 to £ 125. He po-inted, out that he had not had an increase for 20 years, and bba-t the population of the district in that neriod had increased from 6741 to 12.186. He placed before the Board, ai comparative statement as to the sal- aries of other officers and the number of paupers. The Finance Committed recommended that r.h(\ increase be from JB78 to 9100. Thae was moved by the Vioe-Chaixman, and seconded by Mr Roberts Jones. Mr Pennant Williams moved as an amend- ment that the district be divided up that Dir. Thomas retain Rhyl and Rhuddlan at a salary of £100, and tihat a new officer be appointed for Pirestaiyn and Dyserth districts at a salary of JE35. He pointed out that the district was a large and growing one, and while- not casting any reflection on Dr- Thomas, he felt that the poor of Prestatyn and that; district sthou'd have a remident medical officer. The Chairman pointed out. that that altera- tion could only be affected with the consent of tho Local Government Board. Mr Ellis Jones seconded the amendment- Mr Perks supported the Finance Committee, and said he felt tha.t nr. Thomas dese-rved an increase, especially ae he had not had one for 20 yeairs. It was very few offioials who would wait, for such a lengthy period without asking for something more. On a vote being taken. the recommendation of tho Finance Committee was carried- The Clerk pointed out the arrangement by wlaicih Dr. Thomas a.ttc,nde(i patients Aeuit to the Aoorgele district from Rhyl would coone to an end in a few weeks, and the Bcturd would consider the matter again. Mr J. D. Jones thought the Rhyl people should pay Dr. Thomas the extra E12, becaflse they ought to have selected a Mte in their own district for the isolation hcepital. DR. J. R. HUGHES RESIGNS. A lettor was read from Dr. J. R. Hughes, the Denbigh Medical Officer, resigning h:6 ap- pointment after 37 years' service. He thank- ed the Board for the courteous way in which they had always treated hjm, and asked them to support. his application for superannuation. The Clerk said that was not necessary, for under the Act all officials reaching the ag0 of 65 could claim their superannuation allowance, which in this ease would be one-sixtieth Di the salary fo-r every year of eorvice. He sug- gested that tho matter be referred to tho Fin- ance Committee- This was agreed to. Mr Wm. Jones proposed that the Board ad- vertised for a successor at a salary of ClOO instead of £ 125. M.r Delnne-tt Jones thought they should make it £80. seeing that rwxirlv a]1 the patients re- sided in tho town of Denbigh- Mr Robert Jones (Denbigh) seconded 'the rnd„.rn, and Mr I. Bat.ho tihe 'amendment, but th. matteir was referred to the Finance Committee. NEW ASSISTANfT OVERSEER FOR LLANFAIRTALHAIARN. It was reported that Mr Robert Griffith, of Llaniair, a member of the Boatrd, had been appointed assistant overseer for Llanfairtal- haiarn, and he suggested a guarantee society as surety for £ 300. The (. le-trk said the salary was JE37 per an- num. It was agreed to approve the surety mention- ed, and to declare- the office of Guardian and .Rural Dust-rict Councillor vacant. MR BATHO S FIRST CHAIRMANSHIP. Mi- I Batho wae appointed chairman of the Workhouse, Visiting, Lunacy and Infant Life Protection Committee.

ABERGELE RIGHT OF WAY QUESTION. COUNTY COUNCIL TO BE CONSULTED. On Fxilday at the meeting of the St. Asaph (Denbigh) Kurai District Council, a letter dated June iilfc-t was was read from All- E. H. MiJlward, clerk to the Aoorgele Parish Council, to the effect that the defter of the District Council, dated June 6th, had been considered by tho Parish Council, who- disapproved ot the courso takem at the suggeetaoei ot Councillor J. D. oolldeoo thereiaib DJ" the (Qunoil's solicitor (Mr the 3rd of May, and contrary to the advice taken thereat by the councillor's solicitor (Mr Joseph Lloyd), and their clerk (Mr Griiiipky). It was fetlt that a great error had been com- mitted in approaching Mr Dugald Scott through ft deputation unacquainted with the whole facts and history 04 the case. The Council felt that the interest of Abergele parish would have been better served, and a more satisfactory and speedier settlemeiit secured if the question had been loft in the hands of the chairman (Mr B,p Benjie-ttt Jones), Mr Joseph Lloyd, and Mr Griimsley, in whom the Abergede Council had entire confidence. Mr Dugald Scott's pro- posals were carefully considered. Having re- gard to the fact thaa the Abergele Parish Council had compLied with the requirements of the Local Government Aot, etc., and that the solicitor to the Rurail Dipt .riot- Council (Mr Lloyd) had satisfied himself that a prima facie case had been rn-we out by the Parish Council, and had himself, with the approval of the Rural Dist,riot Council, given instructions to re- move the obstructions on the property in dis- pute, the Parish Council had unanimously re- solved thadi the question be referred to the Denbighshire (Jounty Council with the view of terminruting the dispute, and arriving at an equitable settlement. Mr Dugald Scctit wae a mere lesce of Plas Uoha, and, at present, the land was in seftiem-ent; consequently, legail dedi- cation was very questionable, if not impossible. Under these circumstances, the Parish Council claimed, and expected Mr Scott to leave the public rights of way unobstructed, and as he found them when he first came to reside in the parish. He-ptlymef to Mr Thorn as Evans, the C3erk eaid he had never been consulted by the Parish Council,and Mr Millward had no right whatever to mention his name. It would be observed that the Parish Council had decided to take the matter to the County Council; therefore, the Rural District Council hadDOlthÏng further to do with it. The terms offered had been refused. Mr J. D. Jones said he had been in hopes of bringilllg this dispute to a satisfactory ue, but he had failed utterly. As they all knew, a deputation had been serat from the District Council, and he failed to see why his name had been mentioned in tihe letter more than those of other members of the deputation. They came to a very satisfactory conclusion that day, and the deputation thought the arrangement would be much better than the old one. Of course, the Parish Council had a perfect right to go to the County Council, but he did not think it would saltrisfv the Abergeie Parish Council. It would have been much better if the Parish Counoil had adopted their suggestions. Now, he would wash has hands of the whole matter, and have nothing more to do with it. The County Council might refer it back to the Dis- trict, Council. but if that body decided to settle it, they would have to visit the locrus in quo first. He yet hoped that the dispute could be brought to a e ait ie factory conclusion, and thus save ex- pense. The Chairman said he was sorry that the friends in Abergele had not seem their way clear to accept the terms recommended. The matter then dropped.

j ST. ASAPH PETTY SESSIONS THE NEW JUSTICES' CLERK. These Sessions were held on Monday, before Dr. Basterby (presiding), Dr. Davies, Mr Peter Roberts, and Mr R. C. Enyon. CONGRATULATING MR GAMLTN. Before taking his seat, Mr Joseph Lloyd said that was the iirst occasion on which Mr F. J. Gamlin, the new justices' clerk, had cce-upled that position in the district, and on behaii of the locul Bar he tendered to Mr Gamlin his congratulations on his appointment. He was abio to say that the appointment of Mr Ca.miln to- the position had been a ,popular one in every sense ot the word. That he was entitled to the position everyone would agree, whether they looked at it Irom the point of view of his abili- ties or his practice in the courts. It had been his fortunate—or u n fort u uate-position to meet Mr Gaimlin in 90 per cent. of the cases in which he had appeared during the past ten years, and b could testify that Mr Gamlin had been a most courteous, as well as a moet determined, oppo- nent. He was one who knew how to ute the iron hand in the velvet glove. He had always found Mr Gamlin a staunch friend, and it was difficult to say to a man's ia-oe all one would like to utter tor fear of being taunted with in- sincerity, but he was sure that Mr Gamlin would uphold the dignity of the office. He con- gratulated Mr Gamlin on his appointment, and the Bench on having so worthy a clerk. The Chairman said he desired to endorse all that Mr Joseph Lloyd had said, and his col- leagues joined with him in that. He had known Mr Gamlin for many years, and had every con- fidence in him. Mr Gamlin said he was very much obliged :o Mr Lloyd and to Dr. Earterby for what tney had said. He could only say that he would en- deavour to do his duty to the best of his ability. He had once been a pupil of Dr. Easterby, and the fact that he had had a training in the old1 Grammar School of St. Asaph was an earnest of his future as magistrates' clerk. LICENSING. The usual licences were granted for the St. Asaph Smithfield. On the application of Mr Joseph Lloyd, the licence of the Ty Fry, Bodelwyddan, was trans- ferred from Mr Wm. Davies to Mr George Macrae; and the licence of the Swan Inn from Mrs Hughes to her son-in-law, Mr Lee. NO LIGHTS ON VEHICLES. P.S. Connah charged Morris Jones, of 5, Hope place, Rhyl, with driving a horse at- tached to a float, without having a light on the vehicle. P.S. Connah stated he met the defendant driving along the Lower Denbigh-road, at 11.30 p.m. He had no light with him. Defendant pleaded that the light had gone out. He filled the lamp in Denbigh, but the oil leaked away. Fined Is and 8s costs. William Davies, 6, Vale-road, Rhyl. pleaded guilty to a like charge. Defendant was tined la and 8s costs. His defence was that he bad for- gotten the lamp. William Davies, Ys-Gobdv, St. Asaph, who pleaded gul Ity to » similar offence, was fined a like amount. FALSE DECLARATION UNDER THE DOGS ACT. John Williams, gardener, of Brynllithrig Cot- tage, was charged with making a false declara- tion M- to his being a shepherd, and by that means sought to obtain an exemption certificate to enable him to keep a dog without a licence. Defendant denied the charge. Mr White, supervisor of Inland Revenue, Rhyl, said the defendant called at the office and asked for an exemption certificate. He stated he looked after some 30 cattle, and 200 sheep 011 the Brynllithrig land, and was "a sort of shep- herd." If defendant only looked after sheep be- longing to other people he could not claim an exemption, M, probably, the owners of the sheep had exenaptions. P.S. Connah said defendant had no sheep to look after; that he was a gardener, and that all the land at Brynllithrig was let by auction. De- fendant had told him that he was not going on with the application for an exemption as he had done away with the sheep dog. Defendant said he used to look after the sheep put on the land, and he would do so now. He had been asked to kee-p other sheep off. In cross-examination, Defendant a.d.mittd that he had no sheep to look after when he signed the declaration, and added that he had no dog now. Replying to the Magistrates' Clerk, Defendant said he had a letter from his master saying be could look after the sheep put on the land. Mr Gamlin &a I'd he knew that Mr Tayleur, defendant's employer, had had a great deal of trouble with sheep getting on the land, and defendant was asked to keep them off. By a majority, the Bench fined defendant Is and llg costs. BROTHER AND SISTER IN OOURT. Annie Jones, of 1, Ty Cerrig, St. Asaph, had summoned Evan Jones, labourer, St. Aeaph, for stealing 12s 6d, but on the case being called she said she wished it withdrawn, as it was a family affair. The Magistrates' Clerk pointed out that once a. summons of that kind was issued it could only be withdrawn by consent of the Bench. The Complainant said she had no witnesses to prove her case. The Clerk asked why she had laid an information without having witnesses? The Complainant said no one saw defendant actually there. Dr. Davies asked if she had only suspected the man, and she replied that that was so. She had no T)roof. 0 The Magistrates' Clerk was pointing out to too complainant the seriousness of issuing a summons for larceny against a man without any proof, when Mr Peter Roberts said the parties were brother and sister ? The Magistrates' Clerk: Is this man your brother? Complainant: Yes. The Magistrates' Clerk: The magistrates will allow the case to be withdrawn under the cir- cumstances, there being no evidence bffered. Defendant: Can I be paid for the day I have "t? (laughter). No reply was given to thie, but the complain- ant had to pay 14s Court fees. THE ABSENT LOVER. Majry Elizabeth Deed, of Penyoob, was grant- ed an affillatio-n order against Evan Davies, anmy pensioner, of 1, Chcp-etrcet, Upper Bryn- mawr, Carmarthenshire, for 3s 6d per week and costs. Mr Jos. Lloyd, for the applicant, said the par- ties had been courting, and defendant promised to marry her. He had written her a letter, in which he asked her to let him know if she want- ed money or1 anything else, singing himself "Your intended husband."

Mr E A. Orabbe, on behalf of the solicitors presenit, protested against the procedure, saying that he was given to understand that a valuefl had been consulted. They were at a Iocs to know upon what the committee based their re- commendations as they had no opportunity of hearing what the committee's valuer had to say, nor wore they able to examine him. Tho Chairman said that the valuation given them was merely a figure to guide them. They, were not bound by ffuch valuation. Mr A. 0. Evans said that he was interested in same of <ihe caeee, and endorsed what Nio Crabbe had said.

He would like to know what the committee were prop-ared to do, as th were at present in an awkwaa-d position. The Chairman then stated that speaking striotly they had already gone beyond the pro- visions of tihe Aot in suggesting the oonsidera* tion of an amended agreement.

The Chairman suggested that they should gq through the items of tbeir agreement and asoor4 tain if the figure could not be lowered, where. upon Mr Evxne said the pceiifiioa was ridiculoiWh as they had already sworn to the liguree named. Mr H. Bates's (WrexLam) suggestion that the committee should oaJl their valuer was not eJr iertained.
