THE CORONATION.—The Morning Leader in an article on London's Coronation Hostesses," savs —The Marchioness of Londonderry, the very greatest of British-born great ladies, takes a fore- most place in society, far beyond that of most of our duchesses. And not only in society but in politics, Lady Londonderry is a power. Of high lineage, being by birth a Talbot, a name that has been conspicuous for at least five hundred years in English history, and possessing great beauty, the Marchioness has, in addition, been endowed with great gifts, any one of which would have served to make her distinguished, had circumstances per- mitted their practical developement in an arena of competitive work. As a speaker, Lady Londonderry expresses her ideas in well chosen language and never has to hesitate for a word. Her enunciation is so distinct that her quiet voice is distinctly heard even in the furthest, corners of a large room. The Marchioness is almost magnetically sym- pathetic, and has the welfare of working women especially at heart. Lady Londonderry has already this year announced two political receptions, on e which is passed, the other to be held on 12 March. Invitations are sent to Lady Londonderry s personal friends on the Liberal side of the House as well as to the members of the Conservative party. J BOARD OF GUARDIANS.

Finance.-The Towyn Burial Board again applied for the payment of a sum of 7s 6d for the digging of a pauper's grave. The Guardians had refused to pay the bill at a previous meeting, on the ground that no instructions had been given by the reliev- ing officer. There was also a doubt as to whether the guardians or sanitary authority were responsible for the burial of paupers.—It was now decided that the bill be paid, but on the clear understanding that this case did not form a precedent.—A bill for £37 was presented in respect of vaccination fees. the number of persons treated being 61.-The Assistant Clerk remarked that under the old system the cost would have been only about £ 10.— At the Chairman's suggestion, it was agreed that the Clerk draw up a statement showing the difference in the cost of vaccination for the year I ending March 31 next as compared with the previous J year. I Statisties.- The Master reported that the number in the House was 26, as compared with 26 last year. During the past four weeks 200 vagrants were admitted; corresponding period last year, 102. The amount of out-relief administered during the past fortnight was as follows :-Pennal district, per Mr W Jones, £ 29 15s to 106 paupers; Darowen district, per Mr Howell, £35 8s to 124 paupers; Machynlleth district, per Mr John Jones, £ 2116s 6d to 80 paupers. The Master was again instructed to approach the ministers of the town, asking them to arrange for the holding of regular religious services at the House.- The Chairman said that no arrange- ment had yet been made, and no services were being held.—The Master was again instructed to see the ministers. Isolation. Hospital.—A letter was read from the Local Government Board dealing with small pox precautions, and the danger of the disease being introduced to the Workhouse should a strict supet- vision be not kept over persons admitted to the casual ward.—Mr W. Jones spoke of the necessity of providing an isolation hospital should the disease break out in the House.—At the suggestion of the Chairman, it was agreed that the medical officer make use of the sick ward as an isolation hospital, in case of an outbreak of small-pox. Vaccination Fees.-A letter was read from the Scuborycoed Parish Council expressing disapproval of the great and unnecessary expenditure cast on the parish by medical officers in the matter of vaccination, etc. COUNTY COURT.

Defendant lived with his mother at the time of her death, but was not a tenant. The defendant had been requested to leave repeatedly but he blankly refused to give up possession. His Honour having perused the will, said the defendant bad forfeited his claim to the property through not having given up certain documents within seven days.—In reply to the Judge, defendant said he only wanted everything fair and square.—The Registrar: That's what the plaintiff wants.—The plaintiff said defendant's mother and his sister asked him to quit the house, as the rent received for that and other property was all that they had to depend upon for a living. Defendant, however, would not give up possession. —The Judge: What have you to ray.-Plaintiff The other members of the family would much rather him (defendant) comply with the will than be excluded altogether.—Defendant: I will give nothing up because my father gave me the property. —His Honour deferred the case to enable defendant who said he could produce his fathers will, to pro- duce that will.—Defendant, on returning, when asked for the will replied On condition that you give it me back.—His Honour said it did not give him any hold upon the property.—Defendant: It ought to.—The Judge: Have you read Asops Fables.—His Honour then gave judgment for the plaintiff, Mr Jno Rowlands saying that the other member of the family would meet defendant in the matter. A Brother's Debt.—Jane Evans, grocer, Bryn- crug, claimed £2 16s. from John Pugb, Bryncrug, for bread supplied to his brother.—Plaintiff said defendant called for her bill against his brother after his brother's death and paid Pl 10s on account. —Cross-examined She denied having said eight or nine months afterwards, that she did not expect the remainder of the money owing.—Defendant said after his brothers death he proceeded to his farm at Bryncrug and all he found in the house was two half-crowns. He bad since kept the seven children. The furniture in the house belonged to his sister and the stock consisted of a cow and fifteen sheep. This brother died almost destitute and he (defendant) had lost P-200 in paying the d(tficits.-Tite Ju,i,.e: You ought to have a proper account so as t -t ow that you had spent more than you received. Defndant said he cculd produce receipr? whir.1, Wpr. handed the Junge.-His Honour Rave J t, Ument for tbe amount of the claim. Promissory Aote.—.Ann Edwards, Gaewernuchaf, claimed from Juhn Evans, Gwyndy, Esgairceilog' on a promissory note the sum of £20, signed by the defendant, and dated February 1st, 1894. Plaintiff also claimed tour yeari interest from February 1st 1892, to February 1st 1902. at five per cent the total claim being £ 24.—Mr Martin Woosnam, solicitor, appeared for t,he plaintiff.Vr Jno Rowlands, solicit or, said he drew upthe promissory note, on which was the defendants hand-writing The Registrar read a letter received from defendant admitting the liability.-Judgment for the amount claimed. Money Lent.
