Claim Against an Electric…
Claim Against an Electric Light Company. A Rhyl Lady's Fall and the Result- Action at Mold Assizes. [BY OUR own REPORTER.] AT the Flintshire Assizes, held on Tuesday at Mold before Mr Justice Waiton and a jury, Miss Hollo- way, carrying on business as a confectioner and fruiterer at 61, High-street, Rhyl, sued the Western Electric Light Company, of Woohvich, near Lon- don, the firm who carried out the electric light in- stallation at Rhyl in 1891, to recover £ 100 damages for personal injuries sustained under circumstances related below. Mr Ralph V. Bankes (instructed by Messrs Gamlin and Williams, solicitors, Rhyl) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P. (instructed by Messrs Bromfey Jones and Co., Rhyl) appeared for the defendants. Mr Bankes said the action was brought to re- cover Ctou damages for personal injuries sustained by her owing to the gross negligence of the defendants. In 1901, the defendant company undertook to light Rhyl with electric light, and in course of carrying out the installation they had to erect tremendously high lamp posts to hold the arc lights. These were called standards. On the night of the loth of April, between the hours of nine and ten, the plaintiff was out walking with a friend of hers, and when about to cross the road- way she suddenly (ell over one of the standards which had been left lying in the gutter alongside the path. Miss Holloway sustained serious injuries to her knee, and had to call in medical assistance. She carried on business at Rhyl as a fruiterer, and as the accident happened in the spring she was un- fortunately incapacitated from attending to busi- ness, which had to be managed by her sister. The months of May, June, July, and August were in a place like Rhyl the months when lodging-house keepers and tradesmen made all their profits. Therefore the jury would realise what a loss it was for the plaintiff to be unable to superintend her business. Eventually, she was enabled to walk with the assistance of a stick, but during the season they were deprived of a regular income which they usually derived from visitors. Plaintiff could not take any visitors at all, and they had to employ the services of a young woman in the shop whom they paid at the rate of £ 1 per week. A friend of plaintiff's (Mr Wallis) wrote to the defendants about the case, but no notice was taken of the letter. The case was then put in the hands of Messrs Gamlin and Williams, solicitors, who also wrote to the defendants, and who likewise received no reply. Counsel termed such conduct as extraordinary. Plaintiff's Evidence. Miss Holloway, the plaintiff, then gave evidence. She carried on business as a confectioner at 61, High-street, Rhyl. On the day in question she was walking with a friend opposite 64, High-street, about 10 o'clock in the evening. She said good- night to her and was in the act of crossing the road when she fell over the standard lying in the gutter. There was nothing to indicate the presence of the column, nor was there anything to protect her from falling over. She fell on her hands and knees. When she got up she found she bad tum- bled over one of the electric-light standards. Her right knee was very much hurt and the doctor told her to keep quiet. Plaintiff experienced acute pain in her knee up to July,, up to which time the doctor attended her regularly. During the summer she was unable to carry out her ordinary duties. A girl was hired to attend to the shop, and She and I her sister were unable to take lodgers, as they had done every year. In June she had to go to bed for a fortnight. Mr Griffiths said there was no mention in the claim for loss of lodgers. Mr Bankes said he should amend the claim to that effect. Mr Griffiths said his friend knew it was too late now. The Judge said Mr Bankes could not go into the question now. Mr Bankes What rooms did you let ? Plaintiff: The sitting and two bedrooms. Mr Bankes: And in the busy season there is, I suppose, no limit to the number of people you can put into two bedrooms ? (Laughter.) Plaintiff in the course of further evidence, said she saw the resident engineer about the matter, and he was very unsympathetic. He apologised afterwards. The next occasion she saw Mr Hol- der, he said plaintiff should have a bath chair, and that he would push it. (Laughter.) Afterwards a friend of hers, Mr Wallis, wrote to the company, and then Messrs Gamlin & Williams, her solicitors wrote to them Cross-examined Plaintiff had no chaffing talk with Mr Holder about the bath chair. She was in partnership with her sister. The columns were lying in all directions. She knew the work was going on but she did not know that the standard was lying in the gutter when she went out. She was talking with her friend as they were walking along the street, and when they arrived opposite her friend's shop they did not stand to talk but they said good night. If plaintiff had looked at her feet she could not have seen because it was so dark She found it afterwards because she looked for it. Mr Griffiths But it was lying between two street lamps ? Plaintiff: Yes, but the night was dark and the lamps were far apart. The Judge: Who helped you up ? Plaintiff Twoyoung men I was in great pain. The Judge: Did you go home without troubling very much what you fell over ? Plaintiff: Yes, but I knew it was the column. She said there was no sand or gravel befote the standard. If she had seen it before her, she would have escaped the accident, but she didn't. She bruised one knee and injured the other severely. Plaintiff walked to the doctor's, house on the fol- lowing day. She got the servant to attend to the shop and hired another to look after the house. She paid Ettie Charlton, who looked after the shop, 5s per week. Plaintiff did not suggest that Mr Holder was insulting to her. There was no mark on her knee at the present moment but she suffered pain yet. She had to walk about with a stick. Corroborative Evidence. Mary Jane Ashton, 64, High-street,Rhyl, said she accompanied plaintiff from the Town Hall on the night in question. When witness said "good-night," and turned to go into the house, she heard plaintiff shout and looking back again she saw that Miss Holloway had fallen down. Plaintiff seemed to be in great pain but managed to get up herself. Previous to the accident plaintiff was very active and energetic, but subsequently she had been un- able to go about properly. Cross-examined: Plaintiff was standing with her side to the gutter and when she turned to go away she did not look upon the ground. The lamps did not give enough light to enable them to see the standard lying down. P.C. Tramans, formerly stationed at Rhyl, said, in April he spoke to Mr Holder about the middle of April about keeping the lamps lit at night where they were excavating, The manager replied that theie were not suiffcient lamps. Witness said I shall have to report you if you don't get more lamps.'t Mr Holder then replied," I will get more lamps." There were about five columns lying about the streets with no lamps on at night. After the conversation, more lamps were procured. Witness also spoke to Thomas and Hunt, who were watchmen and in charge, and they said they would speak to Mr Holder. Cross-examined Witness believed Thomas, the watchman, was dismissed because of his complaint. After he complained, the lights were better, but not altogether satisfactory. Still they were not bad enough for him to report the matter. P.O. Hughes, Rhyl, said he remembered the standard lying in the gutter without any light after dark. He told Hunt that he should have more lamps Hunt repiied that he put sand on both sides, but witness said that was not sufficient to prevent people tumbling over it if there was no light. Hunt said Miss Holloway was going to claim Cioo, but that fie could not help it. Cross-examined: Witness had never seen a light on any of the standards after dark, but he did not think it was very serious. If witness had probably looked at the column he would no doubt have seen it, Mr Bankes: Your "official eye" would have seen it in a minute if you had looked ? Witness: Yes. (Laughter.) Mr Bankes: And the other people looked and didn't see it. Mr Griffiths: Because they hadn't an official eye. (Loud laughter.) Mr Wills Jones, photographer, Rhyl, said the distance from the Post Office lamp to the scene of ihe accident was 64 feet, and from the Royal ixotal lamp was much further. The Post Office lamp had frosted glass, and the letters "Post Office" were in red letters. Dr vv. Thomas, surgeon, Rhyl, said he exam- ined Miss Holloway's knee on the 16th of April. It was swollen and inflamed, and. caused pain. Witness attended plaintiff until 26th of July. The limb was swollen, and he put it into plaster. In uy there was not much pain, but it was weak. \,nness exam-ned pla:ntiff's knee two days ago. It was somewhat stiff and painful, and she could not bend it as well as the other one. It was slightly larger than the other one. ."coss-examined: It was not quite r.ght at the end of July. He charged them £3 5s up to the end of August. Dr Lawrence, Rhyl, said the plaintiff's knee was still stiff. There was also a sLght swelling. Gross-exammed There was no rheumatism in the knee because he asked whether she had suf- fered from it. This was the case for the plaintiff. The Defendant's Case. Mr Charles Holder said he was a superin- tendent in the employ of the defendant com- pany, and had charge of the Rhyl contract. The buit end of the standard was 'resting in the gut- ter, and the thin. end rested upon a piece of wood. They used storm lamps at night, with globular side lights. W-tness first met plaintiff in Market-street, and when she compia-ned he passed some sort of a joke because he ha- so many complaints of a similar nature. Shop- keepers said defendants were blocking up their doors and keeping out customers. Cross-examined Witness said Mr Jos. Lloyd, solicitor, had made similar claims upon his com- pany. He was perfectly confident there was a lamp put on the heap of sand near the column. it people went about looking at the stars they should stand still—(laughter)—or at least look where they are going, ,o complaints were made to him about insufficient lighting. Mr Hunt, formerly a toreman in the com- pany's employ, said the standard was put up on the 19th of -ipril. It was taken there on the 15th. Witness described in detail how the stan- dard was barricaded with sand on the night in quest.on, and how he told Oldfield to fix lamps at eiihe'r end. The lamps were placed in posi- tion between nine and ten. The police com- plained to him about no lamps having been put near some of the excavations, and he reported Thomas to Mr Holder, who dismissed him a fort- night after. Cross-examined: There were 17 feet of the column uncovered, but there were two lamps on the column. John W. Oldfield, who was in the company's employ, said there were two lamps, one at either end near the column, one on the sand at the l!lÁn end, and the other at the butt end. There were also two lamps close by, which threw a fairly good light on the column. There were lights there every night, as a matter of fact. Witness was positive about the lights being there on the night in question. A witness named Blythen,. employed at the time in question as a night watchman, said he remembered a lamp at either end of the stan- dard which is lying in the gutter. witness trimmed a number of lamps at the Dudley Arms Hotel. He went round the town looking after the lamps. Cross-examined: He never told a policeman that the round was too b:g for one, and big enough for two. Witness never heard of the ac- cident. In answer to the Judge, witness said nobody need have hurt themselves if they had looked about them. (Laughter.) Mr A. Goodall, town surveyor, Rhyl, said he generally supervised the work. He always saw lamps on the columns at night, although he could not recollect the column in question. Dr Eyton Lloyd, Rhyl, said that on the ust of November he saw plaintiff at her, 'residence in company with Dr Thomas, her own medical man. She explained to witness how she fell over the standard. She bathed her knee that night, and after bearing the pain all n';ght and the following day she went to the doctor. Wit. ness examined the knee. There was no objec- tive symptom at all, but she pointed to a part under the knee cap where it pained. There was no swelling or effusion, and the limb could be bent at right angles. Cross-examined: The knee was always an awkward thing to deal with, but if properly trea- ted and allowed plenty of rest it would get bet- ter. Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P., addressed the, jury at some length for the defence. The first question for them to consider was that of negli- gence. If there had been none on the defend. ant's part, there was an end of it. They might th nk, however, that there had been contribu- tory neg'igence on plaint'ff's part, and on the o'her hand they m:ght think that there was neg- ligence on the defendant's part, in which case the jury would consider what damages plaintiff would be entitled to. With regard to the finan- cial aspect of the case her actual expense* only amounted to a few pounds, whereas she claimed £ 100. Counsel characterised plaint-tt's story as a remarkabe one. Two men assisted to p:,ek her off the ground, and yet they had not been called, a circumstance he never knew to happen in a similar case. He contended that defend- ants had taken reasonable precaution to guard against danger. There waq always a certain amount of danger when. a public authority or company opened up the streets to lay down gas, water, or eiectric mains, and if they exerc.sed reasonable care and forethought they should not be open to any vexatious action. From the evi- dence it was clear y shown that the company had done all that lay in the r power to avert danger to the publ c, and .t 'was, counsel con- tended, very plain that the p'aintiff did not exer. cise reasonable care and precaution herself. His fr end's contention that people were not ob'iged to look where they were going and that ihey could walk about with the'r eyes fixed skywards was astonishing. All he could say was that if people did not look where the were going would soon come to gr ef. Bes des the two 'amps fixed at either end of the standard to warn people what was on the ground, there were in addition two street lamps within a dis'ance of 53 yards, so that it was perfectly obvious that M:s Ash. ton's memory misled her when she sa d that she had actually to grope about looking for the stan- dard. After the Judge's sumnrrig up, the jury gave plaintiff 650 damages and costs.
LLANWST.
LLANWST. THE fortnight'y sitting of ths court was held on Monday, when there were present. Colonel Johnstone (in the chair), Dr Jones, Colonel Hig- son, Messrs J. W. JeIf Pet.t, and H. J. W. Wat. ling. Trespassing: after Rabbits. Wm. Roberts, of Goelas Bach, Maenan, was summoned for trespassing in pursu t cf game on Mr Edwin Clutterbuck's estate on the 8th of January. Mr W. P. Roberts, solicitor, appeared for the defendant, who pleaded guilty. Thomas Ralin, a gamekeeper :n the emp'oy A Mr Edwin Ciutterbuck, said that on the day in question while ferreting in a wood on Mr Clut- terbuck's estate he saw the defendant, who was also ferreting. In reply to w.tness, he said he had rece.ved permission to ferret from the ten- ant of the farm, Mr Wm. Owen, but neither Owen nor the defendant had a right to ferret there. Defendant also said that he had prom- ised to share the rabbits which he m ght catch with Owen. Defendant had two ferrets, four nets, two bags, and three rabbits. Mr Roberts appealed to the Bench for a light fine since it was the defendant's first offence, an3 that he was ignorant that he was at the time trespassing. Fined 1 os and 75 6d costs. Theft of Meat. David Owen, of Scotland-street, Llanrwst, known as "Dai, Capel Garmon," was charged with stealing two p.eces of beef, value 5s 9d, the property of John Wynn, of Tyddynllati, Eg- lwysbach, on Saturday evening. Mr W. P. Roberts appeared for the prosecu- tion. Defendant pleaded guilty. John Wynn, butcher, of Tyddynllan, Eglwys- bach, said that on Saturday morning he was, as usual, at Bettws-y-coed selling meat. He re- turned about 9.15 to Llanrwst, when he called at the Star Inn, whe;re he put h s vehicle up. There were then three small pieces of meat and two shins of beef in the cart. On Sunday morn- ing, after return-ng home, in consequence of in- formation 'received he made a search and found the two shins produced missing. He valued the meat at 5s 9d. Tohn Andrew, an improver at Waterloo House, said that on the evening in quest:on, about 10.30, he saw the prisoner coming from the direction of the Star Inn yard with a piece of meat. He, in company w.th a few friends, followed prisoner as far as the Wesleyan Minis- ter's house in Station-road, where he observed prisoner putting something over the railing into the yard of the house. On looking over the wall he saw the piece of meat produced lying on the ground. Witness then returned and gave infor- mation to the poLce. P.C. Davies sa:d that from information re- ceived at eleven p.m. on Saturday evening, he made a search for the prisoner. In company with P.C. Owen he went down Station-road. He made a search in the Methodist Chapel yard, and he there found a piece of meat hanging on a railing. Prisoner was hid.ng in a number of trees, and when he saw witness he said, "It's all right, Davies; it's Dafydd Owen, and I am guilty." The accused, in reply to the charge, said he found the piece of meat on a wall in the Star yard. Superintendent Jarvis stated that prisoner commenced his evil life when he was twelve years of age. Four similar convictions had been made against him, but he had not been up before since 1889. A fine of _/i -and 235 costs was imposed, or, in default, 14 days impr.sonment.
(o)-RHYL.
(o)- RHYL. Drunken Parents Neglect their Child. TUESDAY.—Before Messrs R. M. Hugh Jones, W. J. P. Stovey, W. H. Coward, and J. H. Ellis. Smart Sentence on a Bottle Stealer. Henry Jones, alias "Harry, Llanrwst," a bottle collector, late of Rhyl, was brought up on warrant, charged with stealing 21 dozen bottles, value £ 4s 6d., the property of Mr H. A. Steer, wine and spirit merchant, Rhyl. The proceedings were instituted by Mr W. L. Hill, secretary of the North Wales Mineral Water and Beer Bottles Protection Association, Limited, Llandudno, and Mr R. S. Chamberlain prosecuted. In stating the case, Mr Chamberlain said that other men were implicated with this defendant-- one of whom was dead, and the other had gone to sea. There was no excuse for the defendant, as Mr Steer's name and address was moulded in the bottles, and it was held in law that when a person found a thing bearing the name of the owner he could not turn it to his own account. Evidence was given by F. Bastow, Inspector for the Liverpool and District Mineral Water Bottling Association, who described a visit to defendant's house in company with Mr Steer, when they saw the defendant's wife. That was in August last. In September he was in Rhyl again, when he saw a waggon in the station loaded with bottles, among which he found some bearing Mr Steer's name He followed the truck to Edge Hill, where he intercepted the bottles, and on examining them found 70 dozen bottles with the names and addresses of about 30 diffe ent firms. The bottles were con- signed to Messrs Leather and Sons, Liverpool. Mr W. J. Jones, goods agent, Rhyl, proved that the bottles had been consigned by the defendant. Mr A. H. Wilson, clerk to a Liverpool firm ot solicitors, deposed to sending a letter to defendant on the 31st of August, cautioning him about col- lecting bottles. Mr H. A. Steer said that he had given defendant permission to collect stray bottles bearing his name and address at one penny per dozen, so that he might get them back, Defendant had no auth 'rity to dispose of any of the bottles. Defendant said that the permission was given to a man named Collins, and not to him. When asked to plead, defendant, after some hesitation, said he supposed he was guilty. The Chairman pointed out that the defendant was liable to a penalty of £ 20, or three month's imprisonment. But as this was the first case of the kind in Rhyl they would inflict a fine of only £ 2, with 18s. costs, or in default 28 days' imprisonment. Defendant was removed in custody. Many previous convictions were recorded against the defendant, but none for larceny. Seven Drams of Bacon Beget Hatf-a-crown Fine. H. R. Edwards, grocer's assistant, Water-street, was summoned by Superintendent Davies, Inspec- tor of Weights and Measures, with having in the shop a pair of scales seven drams against the pur- chaser when the Inspector called in the shop. Mr Davies said that when he called at the defen- dant's shop he saw a pair of scales with a piece of bacon adhering to the slab, which rendered it in- correct to the extent of seven drams against the purchaser. When the bacon was removed the scales were correct, as were all the other scales in the shop. He did not suggest that the piece of bacon had been intentionally fixed to the scales. Defendant said that the scales were examined periodically bv the inspector, and had been cleaned on the day beiore the officer called. Every morn- ing they trimmed the bacon on the counter by cutting away the dry pieces. By an accident a thin piece of bacon, less than hall-an-ounce in weight, stuck to the bottom side of the marble slab of the scales. Every care was taken to see that the scales weie correct. The Chairman said that while the Bench did not think there was any intention to defraud they must inflict a penaity of llalf-a-crown and costs. "Jack y Bala" and His Wife Again. DISGRACEFUL CASE OF CHILD NEGLECT. John Jone-, alias "Jack y Bala," and Alice Jones, his wife, of M (;rla Bach, Rhyl, were summoned by Inspector James, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, for neglecting their child by allowing it to sleep in an outhouse that was unfit for human habitation. Mr Joseph Lloyd appeared for the prosecution, and said the shed where the child was allowed to sleep was in a brickfield just outside Rhyl. After spending several days in that place, they were driven out, and then took up their abode in the coke shed, where the green bricks were placed to dry before being put in the kiln. That place was draughty, and the steam and fumes from the drying bricks were most injurious to health. These two defendants were so notorious in the town that no one would let a house to them, so they had to find shelter where they could. George Banks, contractor at Ty Newydd Brick- works, said he allowed the defendants and their child to occupy the shed because they said they could not find a house. His master complained about it and he urned them out. They then went to the coke shed without permission. N ih; of the two places were a fit habitation for a child. P.C. John Hughes said that he had frequently seen the pair going home at night drunk, dragging the child like a dog after them. One night ÀIce Jones said her husband had "chucked" the child over a wall. The woman You have never seen me drunk IB your life but I suppose you will believe a pohC*" man's word. P C. Hughes: That night you had a pint of beer in your hand going home.. The woman: I had two half-pints, and you and the other officer drank it. (Laughter.) The male defendant said that he had been unablM to get a house owing to Inspector Pearson warning landlords not to let a house to him. I Inspector Pearson stated that the female defen- dant had only just come out of Ruthin gaol after a term of imprisonment for lobbing a drunken The female Defendant: Inspector Peirson tojo me him-elf that he would summons the first land- lord that let us a house. lord that let us a house. I The male defendant said that he had got a hou now in Morfa Bach, but Inspector James said it was deplorably dirty, and there was no sleeping accommodation these beyond a wet mattre-ss on the floor, without covering. The child he noticed has bruises on the face as if it had had a severe fall. The Chairman said the Bench were disposed to give the defendants another char.ce. Ihey must. pay the costs, amounting to 17s 2d in each case and come up for judgement in a month.
(o)-BANGOR.
(o)- BANGOR. The Inebriates Act. At ihe Bangor Police Court, on Tuesday, Mr Harry Clegg pi Huw Rowland,solicitor, mentioned the case of Mrs Owens, who at a pre- vious sitting had been charged with larceny, but was at her own request allowed to enter an ine- briates' home, where she undertook to remain fof 12 months. She had, however, left the hqme- the Church of England's Inebriates' Home at Herne-hill-before the termination of the period- He now wished to put himself right in the matter by saying that he and the woman's friends had done their best. The woman had left the hocM partly on account of ill-health. A letter was read from the home, detailing the circumstances under which the woman had left the home. The letter stated th it she had not signed the necessary papers, and that, consequently, the authorities at Herne-hill had no legal right to dtV tain her against her will. Mr Huw Rowland remarked that a paper had been signed, but whether the authorities of the home had received it or not he could not say. The Chairman said he thought possibly the Bench might have been somewhat remiss in not making adequate inquiry before sending the woman away. After further consultation, the police were in- structed to ask for the presence of the woman at the next sitting of the court ■roil— —I I IMWM. II
