most bewildering Mr.. Justice Lawrence

Lord Kenyon deserves well of his coun-
| trymen. a model landlord and a peer of
| broad sympathies, he has over and over
| again demonstrated his keen interest in
| the welfare of the Principality. The lat
| est proof of this was recently. when be-
| fore the house of lords he advocated the
| clans of Wales to a national museum.
| His reference also to the loyalty of the
| Cymry to the throne was very happy.
Wales had need of more Kenyons and
! fewer Penrhyns.
| Only about half the usual number of
| cases-which average about twelve hum
| dred each month-were heard in the coun-
| ty courts held at Pontypridd and the
| Rhondda this week. How is that?" one
| litisant was heard to ask the other. II
| don't know was the answer, unless it
| Is that people are afraid that they wont
| get judgments, because the times are SO
bad 1t is well known that Judge Gwi-
courts refused to grant judgments against
a number of working men owing to the
depression in the coal trade.
| Hirwain and Treherhert should at once
send in formal application for the Welsh
| University offices. We have the authori-
ty of the "Carnarvon Herald" for stating
that ''if the offices are to be fixed in the
| place which is the centre of the densest
population within the radius of fifty
| miles, Hirwain or Treherbert would be far
| superior to Cardiff" Hirwain and Tre-
| herbert will no doubt both blush crimson
| a the honor thus Unexpectedly thrust
| upon them, but they must not allow stock
| modesty to stand in their way. Cardiff,
when it realizes that the powerful advo-
cacy of our Carnarvon contemporary is
behind the superior claims of Hirwain
and Treherbert, must retire gracefully
| from the contest. 1t wonld be sheer
| madness to court a crushing defeat.
