Extraordinary Case at Barmouth. MALE VOICE PARTY SUMMONED FOR OBSTRUCTION. A case of an unusual character was heard at the Barmouth Petty Sessions on Friday, when twenty two members of the Male Voice Party were sum- moned by the police for obstructing the highway in Marine Terrace. The case created great interest, the court being crowded by young men who looked more musical than lawless, and more good-natured than militant. The obstruction complained of was caused by their assembling in Marine Terrace and singing some part songs with such sweetness as to cause a crowd to gather round them. The names of the defendants were:—Griffith Griffiths. Morris Davies. Hugh Evans, Angell Jones, William Jones, Phillip Jones, John Jones, John Davies,JEdward Jones, Robert Jones, Evan Richards, Griffith Hughes, John Roberts, J. W. Roberts, William Francis Erans, Owen Griffiths, W. H. Davies, Humphrey Williams, Griffith Prycc, Ellis M. Evans, and John Evans. Mr. Guthrie Jones, Dolgelley, appeared to pro- secute on behalf of the police, and Mr. A. J. Hughes, Aberystwyth, defended. Mr' Guthrie Jones explained that there were two cases. There were 22 summonses in the first case and 23 in the second. The facts were similar, but the obstruction took place on different dates. Rev. Gwynoro Davies, one of the Magistrates, and the Chairman of the Urban District Council said thatalthough the Councilhad nothing to do with this case, yet rather than give the case any appear- ance of connection with the Council, he would prefer not to sit on the Bench. Mr. Hughes: As far as the defence is concerned we have not the slightest objection. The Chairman (D. Charles Williams) It rests with Mr. Davies himself. Rev. Gwynoro Davies: I shall not sit. Mr. Hughes: There were here 45 summonses issued against a respectable set of young men in Barmouth, and I am going to make a suggestion to the prosecution. Instead of taking a test case they have brought here over twenty young men who lose the whole of their day and have been put to other expenses besides. The season is at an end. There were law-abiding young men in Bar- mouth. They don't wish to put themselves in opposition to the authorities in any way. I sug- gest to my friend now to act the graceful part at once and withdraw these summonses upon this assurance, that my clients will go and see the local authority with a view to coming to an arrange- ment. because there is no substantial injury done to anybody in this case—in fact, no injury whatever and the prosecution does not emanate from the town authorities at all but from the police. I put it as a suggestion to Major Best that it will con- duce more to the harmony of the town a good deal by withdrawing the summons. Major Best (the Chief Constable): If they will not continue the obstruction on the highway we will withdraw. I only want to stop it. I don't want to punish the lads. Mr. Hughes: I am sure the prosecution is not at all vindictive in the matter. The Chairman: I am perfectly sure, Mr. Hughes, you and Major Best will settle this case between you in an amicable manner. Mr. E. R. Davies, a magistrate, asked what was the use of summoning so many ? It was a very strange proceeding. Mr. Guthrie Jones stated that before he came there that day to appear for the police he had re- ceived instructions from Major Bsst not to press the charge, but the police felt if this sort of thing was allowed in Barmouth other people might follow suit, and the thing would become an in- tolerable nuisance to residence and visitors. The Chairman Has not this singing gone o some time ? Mr. Hughes Yes, for 25 years, to the entertain- ment of visitors and with their approval. To talk about its being an obstruction is ridiculous. It is no such thing. Mr. Guthrie Jones You arc going into the cage now. Mr. Hughes: Technically, no doubt, there has j been an offence, as there is an offence by everybody j who gather in small crowds in such a place, but | whv should you bring here 22 decent., steady voung fellows who employ their evenings in winter in practising singing to entertain the visitors in. summer? To say there is an obstruction here and not in other places Major Best (interposing) We must go on with the case. Mr. Hughes: I am doing what I can for my clients. I don't blame the police at all. But at the very end of the season why should these 45 summonses be issued 1 There is no obstruction. The Chairman (to Major Best) Are you willing to withdraw these cases if they give you an under- taking that they won't do it again. Major Best: Yes. Mr. Hughes: In spirit I quite agree, but what I say is this—we shall do nothing without consulting the local authorities. Major Best: If they pay half the costs. Mr. Hughes Oh No. I ask the bench to remit tl • co-its. Major Best The other half I will pay myself, I expect them to pay one half. Mr E. W. Davies I have known this place for a number of years—more than any one here perhaps—■ and I have always found the Barmouth people civil to the extreme. I have never seen any obstruction, and I don't know what the obstruction is. A more respectable class of people you can't find. The Chairman: Will you agree Major Best if they say they won't offend again? Major Best If they get the consent of the Urban Council. The Chairman Will you agree to withdrawing the summonses. Major Best: Then I don't mind. The Chairman: Are you agreeable to that, Mr. Hughes ? Mr. Hughes: Oh! Yes, I will go before the Council. Major Best: So will I too (laughter.) Mr. Guthrie Jones: Will your worships direct that the fees bo remitted. The Chairman Oh Yes, we will. The case then ended.

Rural District Council. A meeting of the above Council was held at the Union Workhouse on Monday, when there were present: Mr. John Morgan, Cwmrheidiol (Chair- man); Messrs. John Davies, Ceulanymaesmawr; Edward Jones, Ceulanymaesmawr J. B Morgan, Cynullmawr; Richard James, Henllys; Richard Jenkins, Llancynfelin E. Lewis, Llan Haminiog; John Jones, Mefenydd; J. E. James, Melindwr; Charles Davies, Llanychaiarn and David Edwards, Llanilar, with the Clerk, Mr. Hugh Hughes, and the Assistant Clerk, and Mr. John Rowlands, In- spector. The Assistant Clerk read the minutes of the last meeting, which was confirmed. WAEJI" WATER SUPPLY. A communication was received from Messrs. L. H. and R. Roberts, Islington terrace, London, in reply to the Council's letter of the 13th ult., informing the Council that they should be willing to allow the Council to abstract water from the field mentioned for the use of water on the following con- ditions That the tenant of the farm be compen- sated for any surface damage and to have first claim on the water—i.e., that an overflow be pro- vided in a convenient place in the field for the use of cattle, horses, &c. The nominal rent would be £3 3s. per annum. The power to discontinue the supply would be granted on six months' notice. If the above conditions are acceptable to the Rural District Council Messrs. L. H. and R. Roberts would ask their solicitors, Messrs. Roberts and Evans, to embody them in the form of an agree- ment, the Council to pay the costs. Mr. J. B. Morgan proposed that the matter be adjourned. The Clerk said there had been a Committee ap- pointed to enquire into this, and they would bring a report to the Council. HIGHWAY EXPENDITURE. Statements of expenditure were produced, for manual labour, team labour, &c., on the highways for six months in the different parishes. Yr. Jar;vproposed that each district have a of the statements in detail. He said the stones were not properly cut in some districts, and if they gave too little payment to the men for breaking stones, it would be better that the Council should pay more and have the work done properly. It was finally passed that the Guardians of each district should receive a detailed statement of ex- penditure. LEVEL CROSSING AT LLANFIHANGEL. A communication was received from the Board of Trade enclosing a letter from the Cambrian Railway. Mr. Dennis, in his letter to the Board of Trade, said that the Board were under a mis- apprehension with regard "to the level crossing. They thought it was at Aberystwyth, whereas it was at the small village of Llanfihangel. It was ultimately passed that the Clerk should write a further reply to the Board of Trade. INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Mr. John Rowlands, the Council's Inspector, pre- sented his report. The cases reported at the last meeting respecting the owners or occupiers at Cambrian-terrace, Borth, being adjourned to the Petty Sessions at Talybont on the 17th September were heard on that date, when an order was made that the notices should be complied with, but he (the Inspector) had been given to understand that notice of appeal had been given to have the cases tried at a higher Court. The Inspector had also served notices upon all the owners of property adjoining the Leat at Borth, several of which have been complied with. With regard to the Building Bye-laws, he had served notices upon the following persons to sub- mit plans of their buildings in course of construc- tion :—Capt. James, Borth; Dr. Jones, St. Clear; Mr. Tom Williams, the Rev. John Evans, and Messrs. Allsopp k. Sons. On visiting Borth on September 12th, he inspected the tank near the Railway Station, and found that it was full to a depth of 6 feet and the overflow running to a ditch, on the side of the railway, remaining there stag- nant, and causing great nuisance, and he thereupon served a notice upon the Railway Authorities to have the nuisance abated. When he visited the place on Monday, he found that the nuisance had been abated. On the 8th September, he had occasion to serve notices upon the following persons to abate nuisances:—Miss Jane Davies, Llandyssul; Mr. Richard Davies, Brynbeidiog; David Jenkins, Glangors Rev. Roger Williams and Mr. Edwards, The Shop. Miss Davies was the only person who had complied with the notice, and he intended taking summonses against the others. The Inspector attended the Petty Sessions at Talybont on the 28th September, respecting summonses taken out by him against Gwynfil House, Llangeitho, to provide privy accommodation for two cottages at Penrhiw, Bow Street, also owing to a house occupied by Mary Evans, at Tre'rddol, being overcrowded. An order was made in each case to abate the existing nuisance. Having been notified by the Medical Officer of two cases of Scarlet Fever at Gleanor House, Borth. He visited the house, and found two children suffering from the epidemic. He examined the premises thoroughly and found no reason for com- plaint. He gave orders for isolation, and disinfect- ants are now being freely used. The Inspector was sorry to have to state that a case of diphtheria has occurred at Goginan, the patient being a child 6 years old, who is now, however, on a fair way to recovery. The Medical Officer visited the house with him, and they found everything satisfactory. The School has been closed owing to the prevalence of whooping cough in the village as well as owing to the case of diphtheria mentioned above. The Inspector's report was adopted. CLETTWR BRIDGE. A letter was read from Mr. H. C. Fryer, clerk to the County Council, returning the plans and specifications of the above bridge, towards which the County Council have agreed to pay one-third of the cost, that is, £26 10s. BEIDIOGR AND MELINDWR BRIDGES. Mr. J. B. Morgan's motion with regard to the loans for constructing the above bridges was ad- journed, Mr. Morgan explaining that this motion would be brought forward when they had come LJ an arrangement with the County Council. It was passed that the Road Surveyor should obtain plans by the next meeting. EPIDEMIC AT GOGINAN. Dr. James wrote to the Council informing them that another case] of diphtheria had occurred at Goginan, and two cases of scarlet fever at Gleanor House, Borth. There was also an epidemic of whooping cough at Goginan. He deemed it necessary to close Goginan School for a fortnight, from Sept. 2nd, and also for another fortnight from Sept. 23rd. The sanitary state of Goginan is not satisfactory. He found that there was a badly con- structed drain running all along one side of the main road not properly disconnected with the dwelling house, and not ventilated. Foul air is liable to enter the houses. This was most danger- ous and ought to be remedied without delay. The water supply of the village was not adequate, and was of doubtful quality. There were two main sources, and four or five private wells. One of the main supplies was above the village. Its sur- roundings are satisfactory, and the quality ought to be good, but the quantity was not great. The other main source was on the slope of the bill be- low the main road, and immediately below a garden. The amount of water on the 23rd Sep- tember was very small and from the position of the spring it was liable to periodical pollution. He strongly advised the Council to obtain an adequate supply of water for Goginan village. Mr. J. B. Morgan said he was surprised at such a report coming from Goginan, where the Inspector lived. Mr. Lewrs proposed that the Clerk should write to the Parish Council on the matter, and Mr. J. B. Morgan proposed that the Inspector should inspect the drain at Goginan and carry out all alterations. It was finally L decided to write to the Parish Council concerning the water, and have it analysed, and that the Inspector should inspect the drain.

County Court. THURSDAY.—Before His Honour Judge Wm.Evans. ADMINISTRATION ORDER. Edward Albert Shortt, of 14, Northgate-street, Aberystwyth, applied for an administration order under the Bankruptcy Act of 1883 for the pay- ment of his debts in full by instalments of 10s per month. The total debts amounted to £ 49.—Mr. A. J. Hughes, solicitor, acting for Mr. W. P. Owen, solicitor, who was unable to attend, made the application. — Mr. Vaughan Edwards, solicitor, Aberystwyth, appeared on behalf of Mr. Evan Edwards, plasterer, Trefechan, to oppose the application.—The Registrar said he had received no notice of objection.—Mr. Edwards said he understood that the notice bad been sent.-The Judge said the application appeared to be a most reasonable one. In answer to the Judge Mr. Edwards said he objected on the ground that applicant could pay more than 10s a month.— Applicant said he could not possibly pay more.— The Judge said he did not believe in making an order for more than a person could meet. Applicant was going to pay in full and he only wanted time, and the application would be granted. AX UNSATISFACTORY TRANSACTION. Annie Elizabeth Davies, 42, East Wynford-street, Eccles New-road, Salford, Manchester, sued Jane Humphreys, Audley House, Bath-street, Aberyst- wyth, for the sum of £44 in respect of sixteen bathing machines. Mrs. Humphreys counterclaimed £ 50.—Mr. Wm. Davies, of the firm of Messrs. Smith and .Davies, Aberystwyth, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. A. J. Hughes, acting for Mr. Hugh Hughes, solicitor, who was unable to attend, appeared for the defendant. Mr. Hughes, in opening the case, admitted the contract, and said the machines were those of the deceased, Mr. William Lewis. They were bought by plaintiff at an auction, where she competed for them with a relative. The result was that they were sold at an absurd price, £57. The machines, which were quite rotten, were sold by Mrs. Davies to Mrs. Humphreys, under false representations. Mrs. Davies said eight were in good repair and that the other eight only wanted a little painting. Mrs. Humphreys, the defendant, gave evidence, and said plaintiff asked her to buy the machines. She had never seen them, and she told her that she did not care to buy them. Later on she pressed her again to purchase. Plaintiff said eight of the machines were in thorough good repair and eight required a little painting. After she had made these representations she (defendant) decided to buy them and agreed to pay £44. Plaintiff said her brother had once taken £25 a day with the machines and in the summer he had often made £10 a day. She took plaintiff's word, believing that she was honest and straightforward with her. The agreement was signed on February 17th and she then sent for her son for whom she had bought the machines. On April 9th her daughter Mrs. John, wrote to plaintiff stating that she had been told by several competent men that the machines were rotten. She was surprised that she should have deceived her. She (plaintiff) had falsely representc matters to her and it was on those representa jns the machines were bought. Plaintiff wrote in reply that she had not made false representations and that Mrs. Humphreys would never have bought the machines without having seen them. She (defendant) hoped she would not write such an unjust letter again. Further letters followed and she (defend- ant) ultimately placed the matter in the hands of Mr. Hugh Hughes, solicitor. Defendant added that at the wish of plaintiff she kept the matter quiet. In the presence of Mr. John Edwards, painter, she told plaintiff that the machines were no good, that they were rotten, and that she would not have them. She told Mrs. Davies that Mr. John Williams had asked her if she had given £5 for them, and, when she said £44, he had said shame." Mrs. Davies then called Mr. Williams by every name under the sun (laughter). In cross-examination, she denied that she had seen the machines. She did not go down to Mr. John Jenkins, the owner of the quarry at which the machines were kept, to ask about them. She did not know that the machines were out in the open. Mrs. Davies asked her to keep the tran- saction quiet. Mr. William Davies: What was her object in asking you to keep the matter quiet ? Defendant: Because she knew she had done me. In further cross-examination, defendant said Mrs. Davies asked her £44 and not £55. She did not beat her down from £55 to £44. Defendant never asked Mrs. Davies to sell her the machines. It was Mrs. Davies who asked her. She had done a foolish thing to buy them. The Judge: You thought you were making a bargain ? Defendant: I did, your Honour. Mr. Hughes: £20 a day was not a chance to be lost (laughter). Mr. Hughes said that with regard to the machines it was a question whether they could be removed without coming to bits. John Williams, builder, Aberystwyth, said before Mrs. Davies sold the machines to Mrs. Humphreys she asked him to examine the machines to see what it would cost to repair them. He examined all the machines and told Mrs. Davies that they were in a bad state. She asked whether £24 would repair them and he replied that he would not take £60 for the work. He said he was prepared to repair them -by the day. Two of the machines were in a fair state. The other machines were in a. rotten condition. Some weeks later Mrs. Humphreys told him that she had bought the machines and wanted him to repair them. He asked whether she had paid £5 for them, and he was surprised when she said she had paid £44 John Edwards, master plumber, Aberystwyth, said Mrs. Davies told him that she wanted Mr. Williams and himself to repair the machines for the purpose of putting them on the beach. Mr. Williams and himself went down together. No doubt the machines were bad and did require a lot of repairs. He could not possibly paint them unless they were repaired. He beard John Williams tell Mrs. Davies before Mrs. Humphreys bought them that they were not worth putting a hammer to. Several persons had declined to undertake the contract of repairing the machines. Could not say why they did so. They might have taken on the work by day. Mr. Hughes said that was his case. Plaintiff, giving evidence, said she lived at Aber- ystwyth until March, 1893, when she left for Manchester. The machines, which were those of her deceased brother, were sold to her by public auction in May, 1897, for £57. In a friendly con- versation with Mrs. Humphreys in January, 1898, the latter said she would like to set up her son in the bathing machine business. She arranged with her to sell them. She asked £50, and Mrs. Humphreys said she would write to her son on the matter. She (defendant) told her to keep the matter from her daughter, Mrs. John. She (plainciff) made absolutely no representations about the machines. Mrs. Humphreys went with her and examined the machines and after going round them she said it would cost a lot of money to repair them. Plaintiff replied that she would get the money back in a season. Mr. Hughes :—Not a word about this was asked defendant when giving evidence. In reply to the Judge, she said she denied the statements made by Mr. John Williams. Plaintiff, continuing, said she sold the machines to Mrs. Humphreys after she had inspected them for £44, which was a loss of R13 to her. In cross-examination, she said she had never heard that Mr. Rees Jones, the borough surveyor, had valued the machines at £4. She had not asked Mr. Edwards to give evidence on her behalf. Mr. Hughes asked Mr. Edwards if this was not so, and Mr. John Edwards replied that he was sent for by Mr. Smith of the firm of Messrs. Smith and Davies, and not by Mrs. Davies. In reply to Mr. Hughes and the Judge, plaintiff said she had never had a person to value the machines. Before selling them to Mrs. Humphreys she asked Mr. Williams and Mr. Edwards to examine them for the purpose of repairing them. Mr. Hughes:—Has Mr. Edwards said a lie?—Yes. Has Mr. Williams?—Yes, he has said lies. And Mrs. Humphreys ?—Indeed she has. And you are the only one who speaks the truth ? —I will leave that to his Honour. And you say that Mr. Rees Jones, the surveyor, did not examine them ?—No, never. If he says so, he has said what is untrue. So he is another perverter of the truth ?—Yes. In re-examination, plaintiff said when she left Aberystwyth defendant kissed her (laughter). Mr. Hughes You were great friends. Plaintiff: I was her friend. Mr. Davies, addressing the Judge, asked his Honour was it likely that Mrs..Humphreys would have bought the machines without in the first place examining them ?—He said no. The Judge, summing up, said he was satisfied that plaintiff did send Williams to see what could be done to repair them. It was strange that after buying for £57 she should have sold without using them for £13 less. He believed that Mrs. Davies knew from the report of Williams that the machines were either non-repairable or would cost too much to repair. It did not follow that Mrs. Davies wished to commit a fraud. It was clear from the evidence that Mrs. Humphreys never examined the machines before the agreement was made. He believed she was induced to make the bargain from what Mrs. Davies told her. From the evidence the machines should have been described, not as bathing machines but as old timber. If that was so defen- dant could withdraw from the contract. He gave judgment for the defendant on the claim with costs. The machines could be taken possession of by Mrs. Davies. Mr. Hughes, at the suggestion of the Judge,, abandoned the counterclaim.

A DISCLAIMER. SIR,-As the rumour that I am your Llanilar correspondent is a source of annoyance to me, I will thank you to publish this disclaimer.—Yours kc., D. MORRIS. Glanadal, Llanilar, 2 Oct., 1899. »

THE ABERYSTWYTH LEASE QUESTION. SIR.-I quite agree with Ratepayer that the Terrace-road lease should revert to the C,)rpora- tion. It would be the easiest and most equitable way of ending the dispute. There is one fact in the controversy which every ratepayer should bear in mind namely, that Mr. C. M. Williams is fighting for the town and its best interests, and the other man for himself and his own private ends. LEX.
