The Official Receiver reported that. during ;4he last two years the bankrupt had pledged a great quantity of his stock-in-trade with Mr William Hamer, pawnbroker, Carnarvon. Some of the goods had been redeemed by him for the benefit of creditors, and he wa3 obtaining a report as to the value of th^ re- mainder. The bankrupt also admitted that he had during the past twelve months sold a good deal of jewellery under cost price to meet pressing claims. The Assistant Official Receiver (Mr Tobias) said that at the last hearing the debtor had stated that he could not identify tome of the goods he had pawned, aud asked if the bankrupt still adhered to that state- ment, to wliieltIJoyd replied that ho did, except as regarded some silver watches. Asked if it was not usual for watchmakers to k'^ep a stock-book, the debtor replied that such a book was not kept at the shop he was in and he had never been taught to keep Mich a book. As a matter of fact, haven't you recently been buying goods only to pawn them?—Oh, no. Didn't yon pawn goods directly you bought them?—Well, perhaps after a week or a fort- night. Aud you have pawned in a very wholesale way?—Well. yes. He thought the value of the pawned goods still unredeemed would b.iJ about E140. He could not say exactly what percentage of the value of the goods he pawned he got, but he considered the pawn- broker with whom he dealt gave very good value. He admitted in detail obtaining goods from a. large number of jewellers in various parts of the country and pawning thorn. Amongst. others lie obtained FOrnI) gold, watches from Russell and Son, Liverpool, one of which he sold to his solicitor for £12. He understood that his solicitor wanted it lor his son. He banked the money. You still owe Russell £ 35?—Yes. Have you pawned any of their goods ?--I can trace them in the statement. How soon after receipt?—Oh, weeks or months. He had sold a largo quantity of goods under cost, price to meet pressing creditors.. Ho had had some dealings with local money-lenders, but only to a small ex. tent. He had borrowed money from Mrs Ovcra, of Dinorwic street, Carnarvon, and from Mr Yanpolski, of Enngor. He had not pawned IIY articles except at Carnarvon. The stock a, his shop war. bought on his behalf by his father for £ 450. The Assistant Official Receiver: You are Bware that you cannot buy stock valued over x20 as an undischarged bankrupt without giving notice to your creditors. i The Debtor: I didn't know that. Ha had been selling over the counter goods under cost price. UNBUSINESSLIKE AND UNPROFIT- ABLE. The Assistant Official Receiver: It was neither busine^iike nor profitable. The Registrar: Why didn't you file your petition ? The Debtor: I didn't think it was so bad. I thought things would come belter. The Assistant Official Receiver: You founded an ea«y kind of business by taking -your stock to the pawnshop. The Debtor added that he had as many as four or five legal processes in a week. 5 The Registrar: All the more reason why you should have filed your petition. A WRONGLY-USED WORD. The Assistant Official Receiver next quea- lioued the debtor as to the allegation that he had lost £ 1H "through defalcations of traveller." and 11, explained that the sum re- p I- 4 presented losses owing to the failur" of his traveller to get the IUOHOV in. and to his ex- penses on ibe road. The Assistant Official Receiver: But you say they were defalcations. Is then* any blame attached to the traveller? The D. btor No. The Assistant Official Receiver: Well your statement to the Official Receiver is not correct. The Debtor: I did not know what it meant. The Reg istrar: But you should not have used a word the meaning of which you did not understand. The Assistant Official Receiver: You hav* accused the of taking money that be- longed to you. The Debtor <)h, no. He didn't do that. The Registrar: The statement must bit corrected, and losses in trade substituted for defalcations. The Debtor, in reply to further questions, admitted that he never kept proper bookt of account! The Registrar: If you had you might not have bteri here. The Debtor said that he paid all monies into the bank with the exception of what ho look out for household and travelling ex- penses. He. never thought of ascertaining whether his business was increasing or de- creasing. The Assistant Official Receiver said that he found that in 1803 the debtor had paid C938 into the b;u)k, whilst during the follow- ing year lie paid :CLnG7. showing o consider- able increa.se upon the previous year. "That was because I was selling at such a, low pric." explained the debtor. "I sold at tremendously low prices." The Assistant Official Receiver: So it's .sasy to have good trade if you sell under coat, price. YOIt I'un do busÍlH'ss, ùnt it's not pro- fitable bushier. At your preliminary exa- mination you said that you began to realise that you were in trouble when you had to borrow from Air W. J. Puny and Mr Stythe, Carnarvon ? The Debtor: Yes. He bad been selling watches worth 26s for a sovreign. Answering Mr Richard Roberts, his soli- citor. the debtor said that his father paxi thfl rent. Mr Hamer. the pawnbroker, had ad- vanced very reasonably on the articles he had pawned, having given within twenty pounds of the actual value of the goOd: He (Mr Roberts) had advanced him part of Hio money with which to file his petition. The examination was closed.
.A BANGOR HAIRDRESSER'S FAILURE.
A BANGOR HAIRDRESSER'S FAILURE. UNUSUAL CAUSE OF FAILURE. At the Bangor Bankruptcy Court, on Thursday, David Pritchard, hairdresser and tobacconist. Dean street, Bangor. appeared for his public examination. He attributed his failure to "getting inte the hands (f Palmer and Massey, accountants, of Bir- mingham, in whose favour I executed a deed of assignment in 1900: slackness of trade, and sickness of self and family. The Official Receiver reported that the bankrupt, who was 32 years of age, had for the lattt eleven years carried on business a,i hairdresser and tobacconist at 11. Dean street, Bangor. Previously he carried on business at 328. High street, Bangor; but that is said to have been his mother's busi- J mwa, and she was responsible for the liabilities, although the bankrupt's name appeared over the shop. Ho began business without capital, and about five years ago executed a deed of assignment, under which C. E. Massey, of Colmore Chambers, Birmingham, was trustee. The unsecured creditors were then returned as C63 6s lOd; and thi.» property, after deducting the secured claims, was returned at £ 100. The bankrupt still continued to carry on the business, contracting further debts in respect of the stock-in-trade, and remitting stuns on account to Massey. Massey threatened to sell about two years ago, and an auctioneer came to the premises, but withdrew on payment of £ 10. Mr Massey took possession of the bankrupt's effecti., under tins deed of assignment, on the 6th of March; and on the 10th of March, the day after the receiving order, sold the whole of the bankrupt's effects. A state- ment had been received showing that the balance due to the trustee from the guarantor was £ 39 10s 6d. The bankrupt's only assets were estimated to be k5, the surrender value of two policies in the Royal Liver Friendly Society, and book debts £ 1 3s. The unsecured creditors comprised seven over £10. The bankrupt's wife claimed certain furniture, stating that it was bought out of a sum of £20 given to her by her mother, Mrs Henrietta Williams, 11, Dean street, three or four months after her marriage, and that she also held a receipt for certain goods bought by her from Mr John Williams, cabinet-maker, Bangor. The deficiency was returned at £ 179. The Assistant Official Receiver (Mr 'l)>biflw) questioned the debtor at great length and with much detail as to his dealings with the Birmingham firm cf accountants, and elicited that about a couple of years ago they threatened to sell him up. and he arranged with the auctioneer to give him £ 10, in order to get him away. II? said he wanted C5 towards expenses and Z5 towards the deed. go lie got £ 5 for his visit?—Yes. Can you say how much you paid this firm altogether?—I cannot get my receipts, and. therefore, cannot say exactly, but I think I paid all my debts. f believe they sold you up in March, and they say the sale realised £ 15 17s, and that the auctioneer's costs and expenses are £10 18e, so that it seems they charge 67 per cent, for selling. Did you get the utmost valise for your goods?—No; things were going practically for nothing. The Registrar: Did you find fault with the way they conducted the sale?—It was only advertised for a few hours. Answering further questions, the debtor said that he was introduced to Massey through a jeweller's traveller, who referred him to a Penmaenmawr hairdresser, who acted B-S local agent for Massey, and debtor believed that he obtained commission. Thy Penmaenmawr hairdres-ser came down to ni-aJoc an inventory. During the time ne wa.s paying Palmer and Massey, many executions were issued against him. Mr T. W. Hughes (who represented the debtor): In fact, you had, on one occasion. to go to Carnarvon —Yes. The Assistant Official Receiver: When "*as„t.his assignment made?—Many years ago. You must have bought furniture since | ?—Yes. f think we are entitled to those goods. The examination was closed.
ANGLESEY APPEAL CASE.
ANGLESEY APPEAL CASE. (n the Court of Appeal, on the 19th inst,. judgment was delivered in an appeal by the defendant in an action brought by William Roberts, an Anglesey farmer, against his sister, Margaret Anne Roberts, residing near Mena-i Bridge, to enforce an agreement which the parties had signed in the office of a solicitor in Anglesey in June, 1902, referring to the will of their deceased brother, Edmund Roberts. The action was tried before Mr Justice Kekewich in July, 1904. His lordship then found for the plaintiff, William Roberts, and Mrs Roberts now appealed from his de- cision. The arguments :n the appeal were heard on the 8th, 9th, and 10th March, before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Justice Williams, and Lord Justice Stirling. Mr Ralph Neville. K.C., and Mr Bryn Roberts, M.P. (instructed by Mr J. Glynne J ones, of Bangor), were for the appellant, and Mr P. O. Lawrence, K.C., Mr Micklem, K.C., and Mr R. A. Griffith (instructed by IV!e-ksi-r- Dew and Co., and J. A. Hindley, of Bangor and Llandudno) were for the re- spondent. Mr Neville stated the facts, and remarked I that the agreement was an unhappy one for Mrs Roberts, as it made her liable for what she could be under no conceivable liability for. The solicitor who prepared the agree- ment had said that he was an arbitrator, but the fact was that before the agreement was made ho had been s'nstructed by both parties to obtain the opinion of counsel upon the will and did so. He had several interviews with William Roberts. Counsel read the evidence oiven at the trial, and submitted that a mis- take had been made inducing the agreement, and that Mrs Roberts was entitled to have th r agreement set aside. Mr Bryn Roberts followed, and pointed out that it was inconceivable if Mrs Roberts had known the nature of her rights that nhe would ever have entered into the agreement. Mr Lawrence, K.C., for the respondent, said that no mistake had been made. He re-ad the opinion of counsel, and contended t hId counsel had not advised that Mrs Ro- I berts was not liable. Lord Just-ico Stirling read a note by the cunsel upon a draft originating summons tak-n out shortly after the agreement, m which be said that he did not think the I sv "c'ficallv bequeathed personalty could be re- sorted to, but as desired had raised the ques- U(Mr Micklem. K.C., followed, and argued t>at the decision given by Mr Justice Keke- wich upon the originating summons was wrong and could not be supported. Mr Neville having replied their lordships took time to consider judgment Lord Justice Williams now said that in his view the opinion of counsel was correctly set out in the statement of defence of Mrs Ro beds. and that the solicitor inaccurately stated the effect of it. His lordship discussed the opinion, and said that he had no doubt Mrs Roberts and her husband were under a misapprehension as to its effect. They thought that the specifically bequeathed per- t ..o -I t sonalty given to Mrs Roberts could be resorted to by pecuniary legatees. "I am always re- luctant," his Lordship said, "to disturb a compromise, but I cannot agree with Mr Justicc Kekewich as to the duty in such a case of a family solicitor. I think Mrs Ro- berts was induced to sign the agreement by mistake, and that the originating summons taken o'Jt after the agreement was made was so taken out to solve doubts and not without prejudice to the agreement, as contended for by the respondent. The plaintiff fails in so far as he asks for a declaration upholding the agreement, and Mrs Roberts is entitled to the order rescinding the agreement for which she has connter-elaimed. The plaintiff ought to have an opportunity, if so advised, of ap- pealing from the decision upon the origina- ting summons." Lord Justice W illiams stated that the Lord Chancellor agreed with the judgment he had read, and Lord Justice Stirling said that he also agreed. The plaintiff was ordered to repay to the defendant all the costs of the action which she had paid after the decision appealed from, including the costs of the legatees, and the appeal was allowed with costs.

Jones), and the surveyor (Mr M. Thomas). ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND VICE- CHAIRMAN, &c. On the motion of Mr F. Buckingham, seconded by Captain J. Jones, Dr W. Jones Morris was unanimously re-elected chairman for the ensuing year.—Mr R. Newell pro- posed. and Mr H. Llewelyn Jones seconded, that Mr J. R. Owen be selected to the vice- chair.The motion was carried unanimously. —Dr Morris and Mr Owen returned thanks. —A vote of thanks was passed to the chair- man and vice-chairman for their services during the past year.—On the motion of Mr J.

The Council then proceeded to discuss the recommendations of the General Purposes Committee that plans, specifications, and estimates of proposed alterations, improve- ments, and extensions to the gasworks be ap- proved, and that an application be made to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow the sum of zCM for carrying out the same. Before tlr's matter came on, three mem- bers of the Council had left the room, and Mr R. Newell remarked that it was not right that members should go away when such an important matter was discussed. It was sug- gested that the meeting be adjourned, but it was ultimately decided to proceed with the business.—Mr J—(it. Owen moved the recom- mendation of tlTe General Purposes Com- mittee, and Mr E. Williams seconded.—Mr mittee, and Mr E. Williams seconded.—Mr I R. Newell rose to move an amendment, and said he differed from the other members in I committee on this question. If they were going to improve the Gasworks they ought to do it Uloroughly. His amendment was that they should go into the whole question tho- roughly, and if they felt that they could not do so themselves they might consult an ex- pert.—Mr J. U. Owen thought Mr Newell should have given his views on the matter in. the committee. They had had a. report upon the works by Mr Browning, and had paid fifteen guineas for it. The committee had visited the gasworks, and inspected the place. The manager of the works told them what the necessary improvements were, and they had recommended to get what was urgently required.-Mr D. 0, M. Roberts sunported tho recommendation of the com- mittee. There was an exchange of words be- tween Mr Roberts and Mr Newell in regard to the matter, and the chairman had several times to call for order.—The Gasworks Man- ager said he could lay down all the mains with the help of extra men, and if he were allowed to do so they would save a consider- able sum of money.—Mr Buckingham wishe to know, if these improvements were carried out, there would be a better supply of gas in the town. If he were satisfied on that point, he would support it.—Mr D. O. M. Roberts thought, then would be an improvement in the supply of gas.—Mr Evan Williams and MrW. Morris Jones also spoke, and the re- commendation was adopted.—Mr J. R. Owen moved, and Captain J. Jones seconded, and it was resolved, that the consideration of the question of carrying out further renewals and additions recommended by Mr Browning in his report be deferred for the present.

GWYRFAI DISTRICT COUNCIL.
GWYRFAI DISTRICT COUNCIL. Mr T. J. Lloyd (iLlanrug) was elected chairman, and Mr Daviee (Nantlle) vice- chairman of the Gwyrfai District Council at the annual meeting held laet Saturday. Owing to the scarcity of water felt at Tan- 'mlit and portions of the villages at Pe:iy- grocs and T-alyearn. it was decided to bor- row £500 for the purpose of connecting these places with the source of the Nantila Vale water scheme. A circular-letter from a firm interested in the erection of iron and wood dwelling-houses, asking the Council for alterations in the by-laws so as to render such buildings permissible, was laid on the table. Attention was called by one of the mem- bers to the marked increase in tne amount paid laet year to medical mea for notifyhg infectious diseases in the district. One speaker alleged that he knew of a doctor who, without going out of his room, pro- nounced a case to be one of scarlet fever. Such a fact as that made one suspicious of the correctness of the returns.—Mr Gr:ffith Williams thought that if that statement was correct the Council ought certainly to move in the matter.—The Clerk remarked that by purporting to make allegations against medical men the Council might find itself in the Aesize Court (laughter).—Mr Richard Jones (Talyearn) thought that ft. great deal of responsibility attached to the councillors themselves in the matter of infectious di- seases. They should see in their various localities that there was a proper water supply, and also an efficient system of scavenging.—No resolution was passed. 'The cost of maintaining the reads had gone up from £ 2492 in 1903 to £ 2621 last year, and Mr Job Owen (Llanberis), while complimenting the surveyor upon the excel- lent state of the roads at present, thought that the Council should retiench- in the future. The Suggestion was conveyed to the Roads Committee.—It was decided to issue precepts for 93194 to meet the general ex- penses of the Council for the year ending March next, this being a slight decrease 0:1 that of last year.—Only five case6 of infec- tious diseases were reported as having oc- curred in the district during the month.

Richards: All the Guardians are allowed to be present at the meetings of this com- mittee.—Mr R. Williams asked what was the good of attending if they could not vote.— Mr R. O. Williams thought it would be ad- visable to introduce a little fresh blood each j year (hear, hear).—Mr Tegid Jones thought I each parish should have a representative.— The Clerk: But we are bound to a certain number, and it is impossible to do that.—In 1 the result, Mr Foster Edawrds and Mr Mor- gan Roberts were elected as new members of the committee. THE FARMER AND THE VAGRANTS. Strong remarks were made at the last Board meeting with reference to the treat- ment of a woman who was found ill on the road. She was brought to the workhouse where she gave birth to a child. It was said I that her husband had been given work on a farm, and that the farmer had agreed to allow the woman to remain on the farm. but that he sent her away when she became ill. I The Chairman then suggested that .the Board should send a claim to the farmer for the maintenance of the woman at the workhouse. I -The Relieving Officer (Mr R. Parry) said he had investigated the case, and could not see that the Guardians would be justified in making a claim against the farmer. i APPOINTMENT OF NURSE. t Two applications were received for the post I of nurse in the house at a salary of £2[, a year.—Miss M.

The following letter, translated from Welsh, addressed to Messrs Morris Evans and Co., Festiniog, the well-knowc manufacturers oi HOUSEHOLD and CATTLE OILS, ex- plains itself:- To Messrs MORRIS EVANS and CO. Bryn ban wy, Llang&dfen, Welshpool. Dear Sirs,—I feel it my duty, for toe sake of these who suffer from thi's painful affliction, bo give testimony to my complete cure from CONSUMPTION, and this through using your HOUSEHOLD OIL. From the end of the year 1901 to the middle of 1902 I was under treat- ment by one of the best doctore in Great Britain, through whom I derived strength in several ways, but still the Germs remained and were doing their work. I also consulted iSpecialigts. In June, 1902, I was (through the kindness of Arthur Chamberlain, Esq., Birmingham) tent to the Ventnor Consumptive Hospital, Isle of Wigisb, wilere for 10 weeks I under- went the Open-Air Treatment.
