This will be a great boon a large population, seeing it is the central point between Cilcain and Rhesycae, and will accommodate as well certain portions of Halkyn, especially the district of Foel Crio, RUABON PETTY SESSIONS.

MR OSBORNE MORGAN ON LEASES. In the House of Commons, on Wednesday, 51r T. H. Bolton moved the second reading of the Con veyancintr and Law of Property Act (1881) Amendment Eil', and the Attorney-General oppostd th Bill. In the course of the discission that ensued, Mr Osborne Morgan hoped the House would assent to the second leading, for he saw nothing objectionable in the Bill, which might not be removed in committee.

The Bill was merely a legitimate and reasonable extension of the principle which the Courts of equity and the legislature had repaatd acted Uon. Under the old common law a lessee was practically at the mercy of the lessor, and the first Act extending the jurisdiction of the courts of equity in cases of fcrfeilure was introduced by a Tory Lord Chancellor in 1S59, when the Real Property Act was passed. Then came the Act of 1831 which this Bill sought to amend. That Act made the relief theiein given conditional on the judgment of a court of equity in favor of the lessee's application. It was then coi sidered that ample protection was thereby nhen to the and that protection th Bill continued.

He thought the present law was most unjust whereby a man who invested thousands in a mine miht, owine to the negligence ar fault of a clerk, an undervie wer, or aa ULfen', be liable to lose tha whole of that capitals. He hoped the measure would he sent to a committee, where the entire tuhj-ct be thoroughly considered. The house divided, when the second reading vi the Bill was carried by 159 141. majority 13. a result which was received with loud Opposition cheers.

(Applause.) DEFAULTING RATEPAYERS. i It was announced by Mr T. C.

Jones, the Borough I Treasurer, that 36 Is 10d was still outstanding in the borough rate. It was agreed at the last meeting that the defaulters should be proceeded against, and SMice then 30 had been paid. Mr Ezia Roherta proposed an amendment that another meeting of the should be held, and a chance givn t) the Mr Edward Roberts seconde 1. Mr Davies was informed that some were large farmers, and out of the long list of defau lts there weie only two who should be excuse! from payment. It was agreed that all but the two recommended should be proceeded against at the next sessions.

CORPORATION RELICS. Mr G. J. Humphreys said that at a former meet- ing of the Council they had been informed that the Corporation relics had srot into the posaesiou of a man through his officii! capacity with the Corpora-tion, had been sold, and had been purchased in Chester by Col. Wilson, and he proposed that the Corporation auk Col.

Wilson whether he would restore tha lost relic3. and upon what Mr El. Ro-beets seconded, mentioning that the bell was datd 1613, and the other crppsr vessels were tfery old. The resolution was carried. THE MILITARY CENTRE.

The Chairman said the next business on the agenda was the military centre. (Laughter.) Mr Ed. Eoherts said since the motion inviting the Government ti establish a centre at Ruthin was: placed on the agenda, it had transpired the Government had nc intention of establi-hing a centre in North Wales, and therefore he withdrew the motion. Mr C. D.

Phillips though they should take no notice of a little paragraph printed in a local paper. There were to be four centres established, two in Scotland, one each in England and Wales, and they should apply for one to be erected there. (Applause.) Alderman Davh-s understood it was all a myth. The matter dropped. FINANCIAL REFOI1M REQUIRED.

Aid. Davies said the remarks he wished make respecting tha finances of the corporation were not with a desire to find fault with any official, but simply to obtain what he considered was a necessary reform. There were several mnt'ers that required alteration. They had struggled through the financial year short of money. He thought the treasurer should keep a cash book, and a separate banking account sl.ould be opened for corporation money, and a monthly report of the finances should be rendered.

They only had a repoit balance in baud so much," which was not satisfactory. Some time ago they lost a considerable amount of money in toll-, which they would not have done if they had had the treasuerr's cash book. Mr T. C. Jones, the treasurer, said ic was impossible to have funds when the estimates were made too small, and undertakings were entered into and executed for which there was no money in the estimate.

He kept a cash book which was duly audited by the Council auditors. He had called attention to the tolls several times, and no notice was taken. They should raise a large rate to meet expenditure, and not undertake work which was not estimafed for. Mr Ezra Roberts agreed to much that Mr Davies had said. He believed the accounts were not as satisfactory as they might be, but they should certainly not enter into undertakings which were not provided for in tha estiru ite.

He proposed that the accounts be brought in at a certain date and audited, and a reliable estimate made for the next year, ti avoid the scarcity of money which so frequently occurred. Mr Humphreys seconded, and it was agreed all accounts should be brought in and the financial year settled, so that they would not be paying ouo year's account in another. COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT, Monday Before Mr Brooke Cnnlife and Dr. J. R.

Jenkins. GROSS PERJURY. THE MAGISTRATES PROTEST. Cornelius Davies and Amos Davies, of Llanyny, w-re summoned by Joseph Hannan, gamekeeper to Mr A. H.

Jones, Allanog. for poaching onthe27h ult. Mr Roberts prosecuted, and Mr Humphreys defended. The keeper deposed to having heard a dog bark on some land near the rivei on Plas Cuch Farm. He found the net produced.

Amos took the net and put it into his pocket, and witness took it off him. There were three dogs with him, and witness saw noma people fishing about 400 yards off. He did not know who they were. He had nothing to do with the river. Amos said he went to meet hi3 fiiend from the train.

He had a dog, and they saw the lights by the river, and the keeper was amongst the men by light. The men were Walter Davies and John Jone, Plas Coch. Dr. Jenkins, interposing, remarked that the evidence was not worth a rush all through. It was a most serious and shocking thing to have to sit there and listen such perjury.

The less they sat there to lis' en to such grevious and serious falsehoods the better. The solicitors agreed with the remarks. The Bench thought it sh uld be m.dean example of. How could they decide justly between people when such untruths were told The defence set up was that the dogs had chased a cat, and they went to look after them. Amos had a net he admitted, but he had not set it.

The keeper put his hand into Amos's pocket and took the net out. The Bench retired, and on returning fined each man 1 and 10d 3J costs. CARRYING A UN WITHOUT A LICENCE. Arthur Alden Maddnck Crawley, of Dcrwen was fined 1 and cots for having carried a gun without a licence. P.C.

vans', Tony retail, who died a week or two ago, at the advanced age of 00. He had a gr-at liking for the Welsh name for this kind of meeting Cyfarfod Sefydlu," or establishment meeting. There had been a great deal of courting going on between this Church and it new pastor, and now there was a solemnization of marriage between them. Mr R. R.

Jones, Maelor View, said the parties were first introduced by the Rev. E. Griffiths, Garston. It was a case of love at first siht, and he believed time would only increase the affection on both sides. The causo which Mr Williams had had under his care at Haverfordwest was very prosperous, and he had great faith that Mr Williams would be equally sure ssful there.

After a song Welcome," from Sankey'a Sacred Choir, by Miss Pritchard, Victoria Terrace, the Rev. W. Foul kef, Llangollen, addressed the meeting. Hs said he was glad to be present io welcome Mr Williams 01. behalf of the Flintshire Monthly Meeting.

He had been in charge of this church himself, for about eleven year-, and he hoped Mr Williams would be as happy and as comfortable at Rhos as he had been.

The Clerk said the terms were that the County Council waB to rspay the exact amount expended upon the bridges by the Board. It was very near the end of the financial year, and the question was whether it would not be well to let the matter stand over for a short time and start at the beginning of the year. The Board had had a special meeting with reference to the matter in December last, and he could not say where the delay had been. The Surveyor said that unless they got some wet weather, it would be folly to put any metalling down. The Dee bridge was rather bad at present.

The other bridges did not require attending to so much. The Chairman said he thought it would be well if the Surveyor was to attmd to the matter, as soon as the weather was favorable. The Surveyor said he would do so. THE ALLEGED DANOEROOS FENCE NEAR BACHE MILL. A letter was read from the Main Roads Committee of the Council, with regard to the alleged dangerous fence near Bache Mill, stating that the Committee bad come to tne conclusion, arter neanng their surveyor, that there was no necessity for the Council to interfere in the matter.

The Surveyor said he had not met the surveyor of the County Council. The Rev. E. R. James said the fence wa3 not only a dangerous oue, but it was an encroachment on the public rights.

Nothing was said in the letter with reference to the encroachment The Clerk said both matters had been pointed out in the letter to the County Council. The Rev, E. R. James said he understood the mh-veyor was a new man. He would know nothing about the history of the place.

Mr RogerB said it was very clear that there had been an encroachment upon the road. The Rev. E. R. James proposed that the Clerk be instructed to write again to the County Council, calling attention to the fence as being dangerous and an encroachment upon the public rights, and suggesting that their surveyor or a deputation should meet the Works Committee and the Surveyor of the jard oil the spot.

Mr J. P. Davies seconded, and it was agreed to. THE WATER SUPPLY. The Works Committee reported that they had received a petition, signed by the residents iu Abbey-road, complaining of the water supply.

The Clerk read letters from Mr Samuel Hughes, of Plas Teg, aud Mr Joseph Edwaids, of Plas yn Ddol, also complaining of the water supply. The Chairman said it was stated that a proper supply could not be got at the Hospital. The Surveyor said he had carefully examined the main along Abbey-road, but be was unable to find any trace of a Since the frost had gone the weather had been very dry, and that had no doubt affected the pressure. There might be a leakage, but he had been unable to find it. Mr J.

P. Davies believed there was a serious leakage somewhere between his house and the houses in Abbey-road, because he bad plenty of water at his house. Mr Price said there were great complaints with reference to the water supply, all over the town. The Surveyor said that in many cases the poor supply was due to the bad service pipes. After further discussion, the Surveyor said that the month of dry weather after the severe frost had affected the water supply considerably, and they were running short of water.

The Chairman thought they had a supply of water for the town. About five years ago, the water was tested, and it was found to be sufficient to supply a place three times as large as Llangollen. Of course, the population had since increased, and the pipes were, no doubt, getting worse every year. Mr Hughes thought it would be much better if they gave more attention to the water supply, and spent more money upon it. The Surveyor was finally instructed to test the water at Abbey -road, and it was decided to hold a special meeting of the Board on the 19th inst.

It was also decided to leave over the final adoption of the estimate until the special meeting. ANNUAL REPORT OP THE MEDICAL OFFICER. Dr. Drinkwater, the medical officer, presented a lengthy annual report, iu which he stated that the number of deaths during the year had been fifty-six, giving a death-rate of 17 9 per thousand. Twenty-six ot the deatns were ot persons above sixty years ot age.

The births numbered seventy-two, giving a rate of twenty-three per thousand. The water of the town was of good quality, but the quantity was slightly cif ficient in very dry seasons. For the last ten years there had not been a single case of smallpox, nor had there been a single case of typhus or typhoid fever during the whole of last year. Dr. Driukwater strongly recommended the erection of public slaughter houses.

On the motion of Mr J. P. Davies, seconded by R. Hughes, a waim vote of thanks was accorded to Dr. Drinkwater for his valuable and thoroughly exhauitive report.

ITINERANT AUCTIONEERS. A letter was read from Mr T. A. Waltho, 'nant of one of the Market Hall shops, complaining that on Saturday night the Bjard's surveyor had allowed an itinerant auctioneer to sell goods in front of his shop of the same kind as he sold himself. Ail the members considered it was very unfair.

Tue Surveyor explained that he had no option in the matter, as fie Board permitted it. On the motion of Mr Hughes, seconded by M- Rogers, it was resolved that no salts be allowed to take place there in future. THE VACANCT ON THE BOARD. Mr Thomas Roberts, flannel manufacturer, was elected to fid tha vacancy caused by the death of his brother, Mr H. Roberts.

Pigs showed a slightly upward tendency, notwithstanding the large supply.

At the Mart, in Grosvenor-street, Mr E. Davies had a very full sale, and prices were decidedly of an upward tendency, with a greater buoyancy of feeling than has been noticeable for some time. Death op Mu Whitaker This gentleman, who has only resided in the district for about two years, died after a short illness on Wednesday morninz. He was a native of Liverpool, where, years ago, he carried on the business of a broker. Subsequently he went out to the United States and la terly to Canada.

He then returned to ths old country, and in May, 189, went to live at Bryn Bellan, Gwernaffield, coming down to Grosvenor-street about the new year. Last week he journeyed to Aberdare, in South Wales, and he said he believed he was put to sleep in a damp bed. In any case he was seized on his return with a severe attack of inflammation of the lunp, which, despite all medical assistance, grew upon him, aud sank on Monday morning. He had a rough exterior, but was of a very kindly disposition, becoming much liked as he became better known, Highway Board.

The Clerk said he had received notice of a deputation being sent iu reference to the road from the Board Schools.

There was nothing very special to do except to see that the wages were correct and signed, and to appoint a special eting of the Board to be held ju-t before the 25th of March, so as to receive and pass the accounts for the year. It was agreed the special meeting should be held on the 24th March. Financial Reform. The R9V. J.

D. Alford, of Birmingham, delivered his second lecture on Financial Roform, on Tuesday evening, when the chair was taken by Mr Alderman Edwards, Chairman of the Liberal Association. Th-j audience was more select thari large, and in introducing the lest irer, the I Chairman said the objects of these lectures were chiefly educational, and in these days when the public was awakening to the importance of education, higher, intermediate, and elementary, it was not out of place that their political education should be seen to as well. With respect to the bearings of finance to politics, Mr Alford could give them a good deal of instruction, and he asked for him a patient and sympathetic hearing. Mr A'ford then delivered a.

most instructive and interesting lecture, referring to the vagaries of the pension list and the inequalities and injustice of tne mode of the adjustment of th land tax and local assessments. A vote of thanks to the lecturer was moved by the Rjev. Thos. Shanlt-land, and seconded by Mr David Jones, and passed with acclamation. This the lect'irer acknowledged, and moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded by Mr Alderman Parry.
