FIFTY YEARS AGO. (Extract from the "North Wales Chronicle," October 20th, 1860). RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH WALES. The present year seems destined to become a memorable one in the annals of railways of the Principality, and especially in reference to North Wales. It is only a few weeks since we had to report the" say ings and doings" of several eminent professionals who assembled at Cr,:c- cieth to discuss and propound the poouliar ad- vantages offered by their respective schemes to the public at large, and we had the greater pleasure in doing so, because however much we might have differed in our opinion as to the merit of some of them, there was a very healthy and satisfactory air,of sincerity evidenced on all sides. Last week again, we had to report the particulars of another important meeting held In the ancient town of Bala, and which also was very influentially attended the object of which was to take into consideration the advisability of constructing a line of railway from Corwen to Bala, in connection with, and under the auspices of the Denbigh, Ruthin, and Corwen Railway Com- pany and in our present numbers will be found lengthened reports of meetings held at Bar- mouth, Dolgelly, and Bala, all of thorn taking place in the [interests of the plan propo.sed by the Mid-Wales Company. The influential character of these several local gatherings demonstrates to the most sceptically inclined, the growing in- terest attached, m Wales, to the importance of extended railway accommodation. Our views, and the rea.sons for them, whiclrtl we hold in reference to the advantages offered to the inhabitants of North Wales by the Welsh Coast Line as indicated by Mr Piercy, as com- pared with that proposed to be carried out by the West Midland Company, are already well known to our readers and the public generally and need not be repeated on this occasion. The more we reflect on the subject, the more convinced are We of lita utter impracticability as a commercial speculation, and of its ever receiving the sanc- tion of the legislature if even approved by the majority of the local landowners. The immense expense attending its construction, the almost in- superable barrier presented by the Berwyn Mountains, the paucity, of population and materials for trade on the line of its projected route, and the length of time it would neces- sarily occupy to complete it, quite neutralise any advantage which "it might possess in affording a somewhat more direct route to London and tl# central districts of England. A line ninety miles in length, and which is to cost a million of money, ought to offer some reasonable guarantee of its being self-supporting when made, but this lino certainly does nothing of the kind. The line now proposed to be. made from Corwen to Bala. is of a totally different charac- ter, and in itself, independent of prospective ad- vantages, will be found to be of great utility. It will open a direct route to England, and ite great trading, commercial, and manufacturing emporiums, and that to a district hitherto mountain-bound and all but cut off from the more civilised part of the kingdom. The ex- planatory sj>e2ch of Mr Piercy, at the meeting at Bala above referred to, was perspicuously de- cisive on this point., and left little to be said by the other speakers. It will be seen, however, from the report, that t'he line to Bala from Corwen is but a mere section of one of a much more extended charac- ter, as it is intended, eventually, and atl no dis- tant date, to continue it io the slate quarries at Festinlog, and to the port of Barmouth, where it will join to the line projected from Porth- dinliaen to Aberystwyth. Should this scheme then be ever realised, it will constitute one of the greatest boons ever conferred on a district, and will leave nothing to be desired by our des- cendants in this portion of Wales in the matter of railway communication. As we have before intimated, this line is to be madje in connection with the Denbigh and Cor- Weai Company, which, we understand, is on very friendly terms with the Llangollen and Ruabon Company, the chairman of which, Colonel Tottenham, was present at the meeting previ- ously held at Corwen, and who, whilst repudi- ating the line proposed by the West Midland Company, stated his intention to support most energetically the one from Corwen to Bala. This amity augurs well for the scheme, because in that case there will be an open and direct route to the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway, without the necessity of going to Rhyl.

OBITUARY. tfc;) dn\1CtUJ. We regret to announce tbe death of Mr Alfred Ashworth, of Horsley Hall, Gresford, which took PI-lee early on Friday morning from heart affec- tion, Mr Ashworth was enjoying good health until Thursday evening, when he felt unwell and went to bed. He became worse during the night, and Dr. Elliott, of Chester, was sent for, but despite all medical attention Mr Ashworth passed away at 7.30 on Friday morning. Mr Ashworth, who was well-known in business circles in Manchester, was the owner of con- siderable property in Gresford, Rossett, and Holt districts. He was born on April 23rd, IB43, and came of an old Lancashire family, Ho was the sixth son of Edmund Ashworth, of Egerton Hall, Bolton, Lancashire, and was largely inter ested in the cotton trade of Lancashire. Mr Ashworth purchased the Horsley Estate in 1899 from the executors of the late Mr FreJ Potts, of Chester. He practically rebuilt the u hall and laid out the grounds in an absolutely model way. During his eleven years' residence at Horsley he took a keen interest in county affairs. He was High Sheriff for Denbighshire last year and was a Justice of Peace for the county. At Horsley Hall he entertained largely, a "number of brilliant social functions taking place there during his Shrievalty. He also allowed several Unionist demonstrations to be held there, a notable one marking the opening' of Sir Foster Cunliffe's campaign. Mr Ashworth was one of the most prominent and practical agriculturists in the country. He was a thorough master of the science of agricul- ture, having studied and practised it in the east- ern counties. Few men were so well known in the Royal Agricultural Society of England, of which body h.> was a governor and life member, ard was for many years on its Conned. A firm believer in the Unionist policy, Mr Ash- worth was a pillar of support to the cause in Denbighshire, and his good offi e and healthy in- fluence will be much missed. Mr Ashworth inherited his family's love of sport in a marked degree. Hii father kept a pack of hounds at Egerton liall, and hunted them, as did Mr A. Ashworth after him. Mr Ashworth had since hunted with the Cheshire and Sir Watkin Hounds, and in both etiuntier, he was popular. During his residence at Horsley Hall be had rented between 4000 and 5000 acres of Ibcal shooting from Lord Kenyon, and his guests Were always sure of good sport with the gun. Mr Ashworth's wife (who was Miss Bower, daughter of Mr Alfred Bower, of West Deane Park, a gracious lady of cherished memory) pre- deceased him some yeais. They are survived by their only child and heir, Mr Philip Henry Ash- worth, for whom in his great grief the utmost sympathy will be felt. Mr Philip Ashworth came of age in October, 19C6, and last yoar married Miss Vincent, daughter of Sir Win. and Lady Vincent, and on both occasions tenantry, neigh- bours and friends showered gifts upon him in token of their high regard for him and his father. They have One child, a son. Mr Philip at one time held a commission in the Cheshire Yeo- manry. THE FUNERAL. The interment took place at Gresford Church on Monday, amid general manifestations of sor- row and respect. The ooffin was met at the church gates by the Rcys. E. A.

COUNTY OF DENBIGH. EARLY PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTA- TION. The County of Denbigh was empowered to send one Knight to Parliament by an Act of Henry VIII. The: statute is quoted by different authors as the 27th, 34th, and 37th years of this Henry's reign. It was the Reform Act (1832) that gave I the county a representation of two members. The following are stated to be all the returns now found on record of the members who have sat for the county:- REIGN OF HENRY VIII. A.D. 152-John Salusbury. The name is var- iously spelt: Saleburv, Salesbury, Salisbury, Salus- bury, etc. In a survey of Denbigh Castle, made in the above reign, we find "John Salusbury, the Elder, Esquire, Chamberlain of Denbigh." He was the first High Sheriff of the county. REIGN OF EDWARD VI. 1547—John Salcsbury, re-elected. 1552—Robert Puleston (gy.

NOTABLE DENBIGHSHIRE FAMILIES. (Continued). MYDDELTON. One or the old Wetah families were descended from the third eon of Madog ap Rhirid Flaidd, Lord of R'niwaedog (ancestor of the Lloyds of t6at place). Rihiridi ab David y Penllyn, des- cendant of the above Madog, son Rhirid Fychan married Cecilia, daughter to Philip Myddelton of an ancient English family in Salop—was ancestor of the present numerous branches of. the family. They inter-married With the Done's of Orkin,gton, the Fletchers, or Denbigh; Heat oris, Dryhursts, Cholmortdeleys, Jeffreys, etc., and a great many of the older Welsh families. Orta of them, Sir Hugh Myddleton, sixth son of Richard Myddle- ton, Governor of Denbigh Castle, founded the new rivGT water works and was a dabbler in mincf. Another Sir Thomas Myddleton joined the Parliament against the King. The first Baronet, Sir Thomas, was created in 1&60- lived at Ruthin, Chirk, and the elder lin disappeared and eventually, the line was con- tinued irh a younger branch, th-at of Llys Fassi, ending in heiresses, reopened by the Myddleton Biddulphs, of Chirk, the Wests of Ruthin.

SIR JOHN WYNNE, OF GWYDR. This family is too well known for Dutch com- mnt. Sonie genealogists have conceded it the first rank in Cambrian genealogy. This on analysis of their pedigree turns out not to bo correct. They in common with the Lloyds, of Rhiwaedog", Bala (the elder branch) derive from the second wife of Owain Gwynedd Prince of North and not from the first whose direct descendants were the Llewelyns and GJyndwrs. Originally seated at Portmadoc, they migrated to Dolwyddelen and the Vale of Conway, owing to family feuds, and in the latter place purchased Gwydir from David ap Howel Coytmor—the actual purchaser, Meredith ap leuan, married five times, had twenty-ax children, and died in 1525. Sir John Wynn, bom in 1553, was created a baronet in 1611. His history is well known and is a curious reflection on the manners of thoce and previous times. The male line of the family is represented by Sir W. W. Wynn, of Wviirisiay, descended from the sixth son" of Sir John Wynn. The elder line is in the female, the last of which, Mary Wynne, married Peregrine Bertie, Baron Will-aughby d'Eresby, and Duke of Ancaater (nee Lindsay), ancestor of the Earl of Ancaster, Earl Carrington. TREVOR. The Trevors are an ancient border family and are widely diffused at the present day. The original ancestor, Tudor Trevor, head of the tribe of March, fouride-d several families including those of Bryn Cunallt (vide Viscount Den- gannon, Trevas of Pentref Cynwrig, Tref Alun, Plasteg, etc., etc., Ra well as others of different names as Mostyn s, Pennants, Jeffries, etc. The descendants inter-married with a large number of old Welsh families border and otherwise.

PRESTATYN URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS WANTED. THE RECREATION GROUND APPEAL. SPEECHES WORTH A GUINEA EACH. The monthly meeting of this Council was held on Monday evening, Mr H. Wright, J.P., pre- siding. There were also present:—Councillors Pennant Williams, T. J. Scott, J.P., T. Parry Williams, J. B. Limiell, J.P., John ■'ritohard, W. lnglefield, Joseph Bsnn, A. Caradoc. Wil- liams G. W. Jones, C. M. Hopwcod, Mr Jno. Hughes (clerk), and Mr Wilkinson (surveyor and inspector). WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS WANTED. Mr lnglefield referred to the question 01 pro- viding workmen's dwellings which had been raaect, at. the previous .meeting, and asked that immediate stepsi be taken to ensure that so>ne- thing was done, as the matter had been merely referred to a oommittee. The petition which was bafore the Council on that occasion was sisfncA by every doctor ini the town and. also by the majority of ministers of the gospel—gentle- men who through being brought in contact with the working classes in their homas knew the. exact condition of things and were therefore, competent to express an opinion on the matter. He proposed that the Clerk take immediate steps to obtain information with regard to land suitable ior workmen's dwellings, and that the same be la;d before a committee at an early date. Mr Iiopwood secondod, and the resolution was unanimously agreed to. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. Mr Benn referred to the minutes of the Roads and Improvement Committee, in which the Surveyor stated that with regard to the pro- posed improvements in the town, he wished to have definite instructions on the matter pre- paraioiy to commencing work on plans. He had got out some rough figures to assist the committee on the matter. The committee had decided that the proposed improvements be de- ferred for further consideration. He (Mr Benn) conliidered that the resolution was very vagus, and he wished to know what was reallv meant by I t. The Chairman said the matter referred to all the items which Mr Thos. JoBes had included in his recent notice of motion. Mr Pennant Williams thought the matters were merely deferred for the further considera- tion of the committee. Mr Benn replied that he was satisfied if that was the case. Mr T. Parry Williams was of the opinion that they wanted something more definite, as the matters might be deferred for years. It was a questicai as to when the time would be op- portune for bringing the matter forward again. The Chairman said the matter was really de- ferred in order that tho Clerk cculd obtain some information as to> procuring the land, neevsssary for the widening of Bastion Road. The Clerk had written, but had not received a definite reply. Mr Benn said all he wanted to know was that tho matter would not be indefinitely shelved. The Chairman: It will bo dealt with as soon as we get the necessary information. THE CONDITION OF BODNANT AVENUE. Mr Liranoll again called the attention of the Council to the state of Bodinant Avenue, and said that as far back as June, Lady McLarca had paid £ 7 Iffe towards repairing the road, but nothkiig had been done. Perhaps, the Surveyor was not awa,re that the money had been paid. Strangers complained to. him of the1 state of the road. and he thought the Council should do something. Tie Chairman asked Mr Linnell what he wanted done. Mr Linnell: I want the road put in. order. I have brought it- forward several times. Mr Caradoc Wi 11;arrs proposed that a commit- tee visit the spot in order to ascertain what work was necessary. Mr Scotfc seconded, and it was agreed that the committee sSvould meet on the road on Saturday afternoon. WATER PRESSURE. Mr Hopwood said he noticed that the Surveyor in his water re-port stated that he hsd arranged to complete the pressure reducing connections near the Cross Foxes. He had' heard complaints as to the pressure- in High-strset. He had ak» had a oompla:n>t from the headmaster of the National Schools. The Surveyor c-xpiained! that people hod' altered their stop-valves when the pressure was high, and now that the reducing connections wore made- they could not understand why tho pressure. was down. Whore he had had the stop valves altered matters were now alright. The sop valves should be regulated. BASTION ROAD. It was reported that a letter had been written to Mr Henry McLaren asking that the Council should be aliowed to take a strip of land on the east side of Bastion Road for -the purpose of widening the road. W, Mr Linnell explained that Mr McLaren had been abroad) and had only just returned. No doubt the Coune] would shortly receive a reply. THE RECREATION GROUND. The Chairman referred to the question of the recreation ground, and explained that in order to secure the legacy left by Ms Hunt, for fencing and laying out the oid: parish ground the Cow no. 1 had had to secure another P:020 of land and hand it over to the parish for allotment purposes-. There was no money available to pay for the new piece of land, and so he had issued an ap- peal to the ratepayers to subscribe the sum r, quired for tho land. Although the appeal had be<"n j>ubl shed iria local paper ho was sarry to say that there had not beeo one response. He was sorry that that was the, oa&e, as it would b3 of the greatest advantage to the town to Ðeoarü the land, for rocrea-t-rin purposes. It was well worth the money paid for it, and he, felt that all should 'help in the -matter. Ho was not a. rich man or he would have headed the list with a handsome subscription, but he was pre- pared to ^subscribe one guinea (hear, hear). Mr Scott felt that the public did not under- stand the position, nor did they know where the land was situated which the Council had bought in plana of the recreation groinid to ba used for public purposes. A map should be prepared. Mr Linnell agreed that everyone was in the dark on the matter and people wanted to know more about the matter bafore they subscribed. Mr IngiefiekJ said the land, with expem-ses, had cost them JSiaO. He was sorry to think that people were lacking in generosity for a public benefit. In order to obtain possession of a very valuable piece of parish land they had1 had to provide a site for aUobmeasts elsewhere, so that what the public were asked to subscribe for was really the securing of the finest site for a recrea- tion ground thai, Prestatyn, could possibly get. One was surprised to find that the public did not subscribe for something which would benefit the town and everyone in it.. Churches and chapels could easily raise £ 100, yet there was no enthusiasm for something which would benefit the public at large. Surely a public question of this kind was before religious movements. He feared there- were indications of stinginess on the part of people who should have more public spirit. He did not think it mattered inuch whe-re the other piece of land was situated. The real matter of importance was that the public were securing a valuable pi;>ce of land which would be laid out as a public park, and for that they were asked to subscribe JS120. The allot- ment ground was situated in Clawdd Coch- terrace. If anyone wanted to know where the land was situated let them ask the right official. The Clerk could tell them where it was. He was prepared to support the appeal made by the Chairman, and would also subscribe one guinea to the funds, and suggested that the land now seaared for the public should be called "The King George Coronation Recreation. Ground." People were more ready to subscribe to some- thing with a high sounding name, and perhaps they would more readily put their hands in their pockets for a piece of land so named than they would if they tbenight they were helping to pay for an allotment ground. Mr T. Parry Williams agreed with Mr Ingle- field that it did not iiiatter much where the other land was situated. For the sum of £ 120 they had secured a site in the centre of the town which could be beautified for the public. When the Jubilee of the late Queen Victoria was on hand everyone was ready to subscribe for the laying out of the parish land, but the Council at that time could not get possession of it.. If 240 persons would each put. down 10s the matter would be settled, and he felt that Prestatyn was securing a handsome bargain. As regards laying out the land recently pur- chasedJ for allotments he ielt it would be better for the Council to let it as a, whole and, not to bother with allotments, as there would not only be a scramble for the best pieces, but there would be difficulty in collecting a number of rents from small holders. The Chairman pointed out that whatever was received from the allotment land would have to be spent on it. Mr Parry Williams said he would willingly subscribe to the fund. Mr Benn, did not agree with the remarks made by Mr lnglefield as to members of places of worship subscribing to funds, as they natural- ly took a deeper mterest in something w.th they were the more directly connected. He did not think they could blame people for not responding to the appeal made, as the promoters of the appeal had not sta.ted that they them- selves were prepared to support it. The Council should themselves set the example by subscrib- ing, and he was pleased to also contribute one guinea to the fund opened by the Chairman (hear, hear). Mr Caradoc Williams, while not quite agree- ing with the way in which the matter was be- ing managed, said lie would subecr.be if each of the other members did likewise. Mr Hopwood also said he would join with the rest, cf the Council in supporting the matter, while Mr Scott, the Clerk, and the Surveyor, each added their names to the list. Mr Pennant Williams expressed ignorance of what was being done, and said he was sure that many others were in a like position. He was sure that once the ratepayers realised that the money was wanted for the purpose of enabling them to secure; the piece of land by the railway station as a recreation ground, they would wil- lingly help. The whole of the district would benefit by having a recreation ground, and he wouJdi willingly contribute to the fund when he understood the matter better. Mr Pritchard considered! that the question had been too long delayed. Years ago if matters had been pushed forward the land could have been secured and properly laid out. Mr G. W. Jones said he would contribute, to the f und, but at the same time he thought they would have many more subscribers if the Coun- cil started to put the parish ground into some- thing' like order. At present it wanted levelling and making tidy, as it was an eyesore to the district. It was decided to alter the form of the appeal, and that collecting books be prepared. The, Chairman said 'he was pleased to say that as a result of the discussion that evening th3 fund was opened with £ 14 14s (hear, hear). WATER. MAIN EXTENSIONS. It. was decided to make a number of exten- sions of the water mains to new pioperty upon the usual guarantees being given of a return of 10 per cent, on the cost. GAS MATTERS. The monthly report showed that there had r' been an increased consumption of gas to the extent of 82,100 cubic feet, and that, the tender of Messrs JG-res and Ellis of £ 30 138 6d had' bean accepted for the Meliden-rcad main. APPLICATION FOR INCREASE OF SALARY. The Assistant Overceer's applicatio-n for an in- crease. of salary was considlerea, and it was re- solvedl "That the Council are prepared to ad- vance his salary to F,35 provided he will hava a suitable place in Prestatyn where the ratepay- ers can call to pay the rates, and the office hours to be from 10 a.m. to 12.30 noon one day a week throughout the year."

T-T M FLINTSHIRE LIGHT RAILWAYS. L. AND N.W. CO PREFARED TO WORK THE LINE. AN INTERESTING REFORT. A special meeting of the Holywell Urban Council was held on Monday night to receive a report from ths chairman (Mt Thomas Water- house) as to Ins visit, with a deputation of the Mid-Flintshire Light Railways Committee, to Ev.ston on the 19th inst to meet Mr Frank Ree (the general manager) and other officials of the London &nd North Western Railway Company, the object of the deputation being to ascertain whether the company were prepared to suppoit the scheme of Mr W. F. Butier (of Mold) for the :onsiruct:on of light railways for Flintshire. The r, port of the chairman stated that the peopic oi Holywell, being of opinion that the company were not prepared to give any support to Mr i5ut!cr!s scheme, had taken the initiative in caihntr a conference at Mold with the view of pushing an alternative scheme prepared by Messrs Bidder and Parry engineers, London, at the rociticst of the Flintshire County Council. He further showed that the Holywell people were dissatisfied with the delay which had occurred with regard to the construction of the branch line from Holywell Station to Holywell town. Mr Reo explained that this delay was due to diffi- culties they had met with, and he (Mr Water- house) raid the people of Holywell were strongly (of opinion that this branch line should be con- I nected with the proposed light railways. Mr Ree then pointed out that this would involve the construction of a tunnel which would cost £ 29,000. but as this would save the cost of the construc- tion of No. 4 line (as suggested by Mr Butler) crossing the Greenfield alley to IIanerrhymor, as a seaport, by the passage of goods down the Greenfield line, he was in favour of it. Mr Ree, after consideration with his stall, then made a statement to the following effect, that, "subject to the scheme having the unqualified support, financial and otherwise, of the hntsfnre County Council and the local authorities, and a Treasury grant being obtained, he was prepared to recommend that the company should construct and work the light railway, and should guarantee 3 per cent. on one-fourth of the capital, not to exceed £2:)0.000, which is to be raised by the promoters; the allowance to be made to the L. and N.W. Company for working the line to be settled by agreement, or, failing agreement, by arbitration; the light railway to connect by a junction with the L. and N.W. Railway at or near Mold, and also by junctions with the Holy- well Railway, and with the Chester and Holy- head Railway near Llanerchymor; the company will not object to the lines propose- having a junction with the mineral line of the Great Cen- tral Company, near Buckley." A letter was now read from Mr Ree embody- ing these conditions, and the Council appointed a deputation to meet a joint conference of in- terested authorities to be held at Mold on Novem- ber 3rd. Mr Butler's fcheme provides for the construc- tion of four railways, as fol!ows :-No. 1, Mold to Holywell, 9 miles in length, estimated to cost £ 71.299; No. 2, up Halkin Mountain, esti- mated cost (72 mile?), £ 53,450; No. 3, Mold to Buckley, wiLh a probable junction with the Great Central Railway at the latter place, 2 miles, estimated cost £ 16^230; No. 4, Holywell to Llan- erohymor, to obtain access to the River Doe. This line would be 3A miles in length, and is estimated to cost £ 51,3S0. This is an expensive 'section, as it entails the construction of a viaduct across the Greenfield Valley. The total length i of the railways would bo 23 miles 5 furlongs, and the total estimated cost £ 192,429.
