CARDIGANSHIRE APPEALS. AGRICULTURAL CASES. POSTPONEMENT ASKED FOR. Mr. John Jones, Cwmere, presided over a sitting or Cardiganshire Appeal Tribunal at Lampeter on FRIDAY when there were thirty appeals for hearing. The Mintary Representative (Major Wil- liams) appealed -against the exemption until October 23rd granted to Horace WLiSams, compositor, Greenfield-street, Aberystwyth, who pleaded that he was the sole support of widowed mother. He had enlisted voluntarily, but was medically re- jected at Bedford. HE was ready to join, but must look after his mother and wanted time to overcome fiitancial difficulties. He was exempted until September 7th, but no further appeal allowed, a condition im- posed in several other cases. There was no appearance of David Parry, cowman, Three Tuns, Trefechan, who had been exempted by the Borough Tribunal until September 23rd against which the Military Representative appealed. He was stated TO have left the army in March as a time-expired Territorial and had been rejected for foreign service. He was ex- empted until the end of August. The military appeal against WM. Oii-en I plumber, 5, Spring-gardens, Aberystwyth, was allowed on an undertaking that he would not be called before October 1st. The case of David Thomas, stonemason, RhydyfeJin was adjourned by consent. Mr. Mcliquham appealed for D. J. G. Beynon, 10, Glanrafon-terrace, Aberyst- wyth, manager of general dealer's busi- ness, who was described as the sole support of widowed mother and indispensable to the business, being the only man employed. The appeal was dismissed and the exemp- tion granted until September 23rd was confirmed. Mr. D. I/oyd Lewis, Talfan. acting as agricultural representative, made an appli- cation before the Tribunal proceeded with the agricultural cases that all the agri- cultural cases shou'd be postponed until the completion of the harvest. Cardiganshire had produced as many soldiers in proportion to population as -any county in Wales and that had been done at the expense of agri- culture. Mr. Lima Jones—What about the towns? Mr Lloyd Lewis said other tribunals had postponed agricultural! cases and Sir Ailwyn Fellowes, who visited Aberystwyth when he was Minister of Agriculture, had appcaied to the Norfolk Tribunal who had unanimously agreed to postpone the cases until the harvest was over. that was from ii 15th to September 15th. Major Williams asked if Mr. Lloyd J Lewis had been instructed by the Board j of Agriculture to make the application ? If it -was A personal 'appeal it was out of order. The Tribunal had to administer the Act of Parliament and to deal with ani eligi- ble man in the county. What was done in adjoining counties had nothing to do with the Tribunal. It was for the Tribunal to hear the cases and postpone them if con- sidered necessary on their merits. Mr. Lloyd Lewis contended that Cardi- ganshire could do the same as Norfolk. Haverfordwest Tribunal had also post- poned agricultural cases for two months until the. crops were liar- vested. He had received no instructions; but the application seemed to him particularly réasonable having re- gard to the bad weather and shortage of labour. Major Williams said there might be. farms from which it was doubtful whether men should be taken but there were other farms in the county with more handS than WERE required. It WAS impossible to decide the cases without knowing the facts and to pass a genera-' resolution was not fair. He would be pleased to confer with the Agri- cultural Representative as to cases which could properly be brought before the Tri- bunal. The Tribunal declined to accede to the application and decided that every appeal should be considered on its merits. John David Jcnkins. Neuadd Park Farm, Cape! Bangor, asked for review of the temporary exemption until June 15th granted him by the Appeal Tribunal. It was stated that lie was one of three brothers who owned the farm. One brother sold firewood and did not work on the farm. It was impossible to find assistance. Exemption was granted until September 30th. The Jtilitary Repaanerttative appealed against conditional exemption granted to Lewis Roderick Jones, farmer, Gargoed, Pontrhydfendigaid. The father said there were two farms. He looked after Brynglas -and thE son looked after Gargoed. Two other sons had become colliers after the war, but one was previously a lead miner and the other was a, shepherd. Both had attested. Another son was a boy at home. Temporary exemption was granted until August 31st. With regard to the case of David John Evans, horseman and thatcher, Ffynon- cripil, Boncath, which had been adjourned from the previous sitting, the employer said he had failed to find the man's address until the previouS day and had not been able to communicate with him. The em- ployer's appeal was dismissed. The Military Representative appealed against conditional exemption granted T0 John Morgan Jones, farmer. College, 13ronant. Mr. WM. Davies (of Messrs. Smith, Davies and Evans) appeared for the father who said he bought the farm six years ago for the sake of his only son who was TWENTY-TWO years of agE and on whom the working of the farm entire y depended. He had NO other worker on the farm last year. The son had done the farming since he was sixteen years of iEr, and had im- proved the land considerably. The father added that he was a TAILOR AND in weak hcalth. TENMOR.AIT exemption was granted mitil September 30th. and flio Tn Innw 1
