It Local Bankruptcy Cases. DEFICIENCY OF £ 1,721. CONTRACTORS' FAILURE. The Pembrokeshire Bankruptcy Court was held on Friday before the Registrar, Mr Herbert Oweu. The examinations were conducted by the Deputy Official Receiver, Mr J. Williams. A FARMER'S TROUBLES. David Walters, farmer, of Llandigigie-fawr, St. David's, came up for his public examination. Debtor's liabilities amounted to XI,452 2s 9d, his assets were estimated to produce E630 6s 9d. From this had to be deducted X340 for distrainable rent and preferential rates, wages, sheriff's charges, &c., leaving a deficiency of X617 6s 6d. Becoming surety for others sickness in family: death of stock high rent," were the causes of failure alleged by bankrupt. The receiving order was made on debtor's own petition, which he filed in conse- quence of a distress having been levied for rent. COMMENCED WITH A CAPITAL OF CI,100. The bankrupt (aged 65) states that he commenced farming at Llandigigie-fawr in 1874, at which time he estimates that he he had a capital of £ 1,100. The farm is 290 acres in extent, of which about 100 acres is moor- land, and is held under a lease for the bankrupt's life at J6300 per annum. At the date of the receiving order a distress for E300, one year's rent, had been levied upon the effects at the farm, but Mr James, auctioneer, has, at the Official Receiver's request, advanced on the security of the assets the amount necessary to pay out such distress and cost,, in order to secure a proper and satisfactory sale at Michaelmas. Included in the amount shewn as unsecured is the sum of X250, stated to be due to bankrupt's wife for njoneys borrowed in 1892, also JElM stated to be due to his brother-in-law. The remainder of the liabilities is for goods supplied, and the arrears of rent. The creditor shewn as partly secured is a local auctioneer, to whom the bankrupt gave a bill of sale in April, 1892, to secure S-492 and interest. This document was a renewal of one given in 1S99, when the origin?.! advance was made. From the bankrupt's state- ment it would appear, says the Official Receiver in his observations, that stock and implements included in the bill of sale, of the estimated value of £ 204 only, now remain on the farm. No opportunity has yet been given to compare the schedule with the inventory taken by the Official Receiver's officer. A portion of the household furniture, of the estimated value of X24, and live stock (part of which is included in the bill of sale), of the estimated value of £ 81, is claimed by bankrupt's wife as having been her own property, given to her subsequent to her marriage in 1888, but this claim, in view of the Married Women's Property Act, is not con- sidered a valid one. On Friday, when Mr W. J. Jones appeared for Walters, debtor said the capital of £ 1,100 represented his stock and everything else ou the farm. At that time he had no liabilities. He had a lease for his own and his wife's life; but the rent charged he considered much too high. It had been reduced by 130, but he considered that 1220 would be a good rent for the farm. His difficulties dated from the time when he became surety for his brother for £ 500. He was only called upon to pay the interest on that sum, but in order to do this he had to resort to borrowing, and was indebted to the three banks in Haverfordwest. To pay these off he got an advance of £.500 from Mr James on the security of a bill of sale. Deputy Official Receiver To put it shortly is it not a fact that you have been in this insolvent condition ever since?—Well, I was paying my way, but the rent was going back. You were paying your way because of Mr James being indulgeut and the landlord being indulgent too ?—I got into difficulty the second year after I had the money from Mr James. I found I could not pay two redta- one to Mr James and another to the landlord. In April, 1902, there was a balance of nearly X-300 due to Mr James ?—Something like that. Did Mr James advance you a further sum?—One year's interest. The rate of interest to Mr James was 10 per cent ?--It was put down at that. But it is a fact that he has never had anything like 10 per cent ?—No; I could not pay so much as that. I have been paying 7! per cent. But on the whole year it would not come to five per cent '?—Something like that. In answer to other questions, debtor said that included in the bill of sale was some stock belonging to his wife, nor did he consult his wife on the matter until afterwards. It did not occur to him that he was doing wrong until after the bill of sale had been signed. His wife had since made an affidavit claiming certain stock and furniture. Mr James had :.CJW waived his claim to these articles. He borrowed the sum of £ 250 from his wife in 1902 to help to pay his way. This money was handed to him in X5 notes, and part of it went to pay the rent. Deputy Official Receiver: You consider the claim of Mr Morgan Griffiths' too heavy. He makes a claim for £21O.-N 0 answer. You consider £ 180 would be ample I don't consider the claim by the landlord too high, because I don't understand it. You paid £ 14 9s Od to Phillips & Co., of St. David's, in March last. What induced you to make that payment ? —I owed the money since the previous year. Yes, but you owed other money?-They had been writing and pressing me for payment. I was getting groceries and flour from them for the family. The entire cause of your failure is the unfortunate con- t nection with your brother in 1898. Had it not been for that, you would not have been in difficulties to-day ?— But for that I think I would have been able to carry on. On the application of Mr Jones, the examination was closed. FAILURE OF BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS. After the adjournment, the cases of Thomas Brown, residing at Glynhir House, Park Street, Pembroke Dock, and George Brown, of Gwalia House, Railway Station, Narberth, were taken. Bankrupts had been carrying on business at Narberth and Pembroke Dock as Brown Brothers, builders and contractors. Liabilities were put down at £ 2,638 17s Sd, of which 12,216 6s Id was expected to rank. Assets were estimated to produce J6496 9s 2d, leaving a deficiency of £1,í21 16s lid. The causes of failure, as alleged by bankrupts, were Losses on contracts want of capital; depression of trade; and illness of both partners." A LARGE DEFICIENCY. The bankrupts (who are aged 31 and 33 respectively) commenced business, says the Official Receiver in his observations, in co-partnership as builders and contractors at Pembroke Dock and Narberth in January, 1901, with a capital of L120. The books of account are very defective, as no cash book has been kept nor a creditors. ledger. There does not appear to be any record in the books of the drawings of either partner. Substantially the whole of the unsecured liabilities is for building materials. The creditor shewn as fully secured is the debtor's uncle, who holds the leases of two houses in course of construction as security for £ 340, cash advanced by him to the debtors from time to time. The creditors shewn as partlv secured are the debtors' bankers, who hold as security for overdraft amounting to X231, a policy of insurance upon each of the debtors' lives effected in April, 1903. The bankers also hold a guarantee for 1800 signed by a relative of the bankrupts. The household furniture at each dwelling house is claimed by the wives of the partners. No explanation of the large deficiency has yet been submitted by the debtors, but they have been directed to do so in time for the public examination. FRIDAY'S EXAMINATION. At Friday's public examination, Mr F. S. Reed, Pem- broke Dock, appeared for the debtors and Mr W. G. Eaton Evans, for Messrs John and Jenkins, plasterers, Haverfordwest, who were interested parties. The brother Thomas said be had no seperate liabilities or assets of any kind, and the Deputy Official Receiver remarked to the Registrar that the position of affairs was very curious in this case as George would accept things without consulting Thomas, and vice versa. George said they started business with a capital of S120, JEGO of which was contributed by him. This money he had partly been able to save out of his earnings, and he had a little left him from the sale of the Commercial Inn at Narberth. Asked whether he kept a cash book, George said he was not well up in book-keeping and did not know what a cash book meant. He kept a record of the receipts and payments, and could tell what these were exactly. They did not keep a creditors' ledger, but they knew when they had had all the money in by reference to the invoices, which were always kept perfectly safe. The sheets were kept until a job was finished, but they were not pre- served. As to the estimates, Thomas sail the majority they took were the same. Having priced one house they could do 100. Deputy Official Receiver: That is your explanation. You did not keep an estimates' book ?-No; as soon as the job was completed the estimates would be destroyed. Why ?—That they might not accumulate. LOSSES BY CONTRACT. George said that from the deficiency account, which extended over three years, they estimated to have lost £ 627 10s Od by contract. They lost E120 in respect of Getty Baptist Chapel, 1110 over a job at Manorbier. With regard to the former losses the Getty chapel was very remote and men were scarce. They were obliged to increase the men's wages, and lodgings could not be obtained in the locality. Deputy Official Receiver: I put it to you it was your own neglect in not making proper inquiries ?-No. We took a house and put beds there, but the men would not sleep in the beds because they were not properly looked after. Bankrupt said that a mistake of over X140 arose over the Picton Cottages. They placed an order for bricks and never bad the quantity. Owing to the state of the weather, they were obliged to wait two months, because no vessel would come with bricks from Bridgewater. That was another case of your miscalculation ?-No, we could not calculate the weather. George also said that they lost £ 20 over the Narberth Police Station. The cause of this was the increased price of materials-they had gone up by 10 per cent.—while men who worked for 24s a week wanted 28s, and lodgings paid in addition. The contract for the Picton cottages was £ 1,450, and they lost X140 over the transaction. This was in the winter of 1903. They had not got a settlement as to the "extras" in this case yet. They did not enquire into the state of their affairs at this time to ascertain how they stood. Deputy Official Receiver: Had you been pressed by your creditors ?-No one whatever. No difficulty in meeting your engagements P-None whatever. That was in the winter of 1903 ?—Yes, nor had we any difficulty in 1904, or even last winter. The amount of your overdraft is X931 12s 6d?—Yes. George said be could not tell what was the nature of the securities held by the bank. His brother knew most of that. There was a policy on his life and on his brother's, and in addition to these two policies, the bank held a guarantee by Mr Brown, an uncle. He did not know much of what passed at Pembroke Dock. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARTNERSHIP. Have you recognised before now the responsibilities of partnership ?—I thought we were in a good line of business and that there was no difficulty. Didn't you know it was your business to ascertain ?— Yes I know it was my business. You are equally responsible with your brother for the affairs of the Company ?—Quite so. You do know that there is JE380 due to your uncle ?— Yes. Monies advanced from him to the firm from time to time ?—That is so. Have you kept an account of the monies advanced by Mr Brown ?—Yes, my brother kept one, I think, but I am not certain. Do you know anything of the two leases ?-I was present when they were given. How much was due to your uncle then P-X300, I think. Do you know of any other house being built for your uncle ?— Yes. They are situated in Bush Street, but I cannot say the amount of the contract. Were you consulted as to that ?-No. Was there another house built for your uncle by the firm r- Yes, in Hoxton Road. Were you consulted about that ?— Yes. The contract was 1400. but it was altered, and I think we had X620 for the house. That was in 1901. Have you got an account showing the ultimate cost of these jobs you have completed ?—No. Debtor said there were two building plots at Pembroke Dock, but they were of no value whatever. He added that he had no interest in the household furniture, which was claimed by the wife. The other bankrupt said the affidavit made by his wife claiming the furniture was quite correct. The little money he had when he got married was in the business. He had charge of the books in connection with those jobs for which he was responsible. Mr Williams intimated that the Official Receiver desired a cash account from the two bankrupts. This had been furnished (although not fully), but the trustee had not had sufficient time to go into it. The Registrar You will be able to throw more light on it then. Mr Williams Yes I apply for an adjournment until the next court. In answer to Mr Evans, bankrupt said that the architect objected to a certain claim with regard to the Pictou Cottages. Messrs John & Jenkins, of Haverford- west, were instructed to do certain work, and the architect maintained that "extras" had been charged for work which was in the specification. The contract was X270, and they had been paid 1250 on account. There was now a disputed item of JE26 15s 6d for extras. If the architect would allow that, they would pay Messrs John & Jenkins. They (the bankrupts) were sub-contractors. They did not admit that the architect was right, in fact the point bad not yet been definitelj settled. Bankrupt stated that when Mr Morgan estimated his deficiently at JESR8 the figures were not taken with his consent. It was through no fault of his that the discrepancy arose, as Mr Morgan was there only to get his own money. They first knew of their insolvency about Easter, when they went into their affairs. In answer to Mr Reed, bankrupts said that Mr Morgan tried to induce them to assign debts over to him from Mr Preece James and others. Not suceeding in this, he issued a writ. THE PICTON COTTAGES. Referring to the Picton cottages, the Registrar remarked that the Picton Estate paid the contractors all. It was only a matter of credit. Bankrupts acted in the capacity of sub-contractors. The examination was adjourned until October 5th.
Big Railway Scheme. -I
Big Railway Scheme. ENTERPRISE OF THE G.W.R. I DEVELOPMENT OF MID-WALES. I ENORMOUS SUM TO BE SPENT. I We are informed that large and very important extensions in West and Mid-Wales are under the con- sideration of the Great Western Railway Company. The scheme is estimated to cost between three and four million pounds. The proposals are— I (1) To make a new line from iisnguara to Pencader (a 1 distance of about 30 miles), there to join the Manchester and Milford Railway, recently acquired by the Great Western Railway; (2) Doubling the existing line between Pencader and Strata Florida (a distance of 28 miles) and (3) Laying a new railway from Strata Florida, via Llandrindod and New Radnor, to the Midlands. I A glance at the map will show now important this scheme is, as it will open up an entirely new railway dis- trict and bring west and mid Wales into direct and prompt communication with the Midlands. This is not an entirely new scheme, for it really only develops the wider scheme of which the Manchester and Milford Railway was mainly the beginning. It is also important to note that two-thirds of the Irish traffic which passes through Carmarthen is now carried by the London and North Western Railway. Under the new development the Great Western Railway Company naturally hopes to secure this business. DuriEg the past few days surveys have been taken within the area affected by the new proposal of the Great Western.— Western Mail. The same journal, of Monday, further states "We are able to-day to give a plan roughly indicating the scheme the Great Western Railway have in contem- plation for the development of West and Mid-Wales. It is everywhere recognised that the projected scheme has immense advantages, and, although some years must necessarily elapse before it comes about, there is no doubt that both South Wales and.the Midlands would benefit enormously from such a devolopment. From the above plan it will be seen how the company can provide a direct route from the Midlands to Mid and West Wales. The dotted lines show the new railways which will have to be, but, of couse, the exact routes cannot be given, as no plans of the scheme are as yet available. We understand, however, that there are no physical difficulties in construct- ing a line from Goodwick to Pencader, a distance of about 30 miles. From this point to Strata Florida the Manchester and Milford Railway must be doubled, and from the later point to New Radnor (via Llandrindod) another new line would have to be made. The feasibility of the scheme and the advantage which it must be to the Great Western Company, especially in view of their new route to Ireland, must be apparent at a glance. If carried into effect, the new line would not only open up for goods and passenger traffic the district between the Midlands and South-West Wales, but it would provide a through route to Ireland. The scheme has been hailed with delight not only by the people of Pencader and West Wales generally, but by the agricultural districts through which the contem- plated railway will pass. Pencader has greatly deve- loped in recent years, and further developments are in progress in the way of building. Only last week no fewer than 26 building plots were deposed of in close proximity to the railway station. It is believed that if the project is carried out'engine-sheds will be erected at this impor- tant junction to meet the demands of increasing rolling stock. It is interesting to noto that a few years ago a Bill was promoted in the House of Commons for connecting Aber- ystwyth with the Midlands via Strata Florida and New Radnor, but, although the preamble was proved, the Committee of the House of Commons was not satisfied with the financial backing of the undertaking, and, con- sequently, the matter dropped. At present the only connecting link between West Wales and the Midlands is the Cambrian Railway from Aberstwyth, which is a very circuitious route. A line from Fisbgnard to Pen- cader would greatly relieve the summer traffic between Carmarthen and Aberstwyth. Whatever may become of the new proposals, it is safe to predict that in the near future the Great Western Railway Company will be obliged to double the line from Pencader to Strata Florida, which they recently acquired from the Manchester and Milford Railway Company."

Roose Petty Sessions. DISPUTE OVER SIXPENCE. A NEYLAND CASE. The Roose sessions were held on Saturday before Mr W. Davies (in the chair), Mr A. W. Massy, and Mr J. T. Fisher. LICENSING. On the application of Mr F. S. Reed, who applied on behalf of the Official Receiver, the license of the Picton Castle Inn, Neyland, previously held by Mrs Susan Evans, was transferred to Thomas Hamilton, of Glasgow. There was also a temporary transfer of the license of the Penry Arms, Portfield Gate, to James Hughes. I DRUNKENNESS. John Speaksman, of Ruther Lane, was summoned for having been drunk at Walton West on August 20. P.C. James said defendant was lying down on the high- way between Broad and Little Haven. He could barely stand, and witness assisted him to Broad Haven. Fined Is and costs. Charles Smith of Neyland was summoned for having been drunk and disorderly on July 28. P.S. Lewis said defendant was diunk and creating a disturbance with a man named Walsh, who was convicted at the last court. A fine of 2s 6d and costs was imposed. Alfred Mills, Upper Broadmoor, was summoned for a similar offence, and P.C. James mentioned that defendant was drunk and staggering about and singing a very vulgar song at Little Haven. He requested defendant to behave himself, but he afterwards resumed his song. Witness added that the defendant had since asked him to plead guilty, and expressed regret for what had occurred. The constable also said that many people were about at the time, including several young ladies. Fined 5s and costs. John James, of the Glen, Haroldstou West, was sum- moned for drunkenness on August 20th. P.C. James also proved this offence. He spoke to seeing the defendant at half-past 11 at night helplessly drunk on the roadwsy between Broad and Little Haven. He was very quiet, and had since asked witness to plead guilty on his behalf, expressing the hope that the bench would be as lenient as possible. Fined Is and costs. AIMED AT A TIN-BROKE A CHICKEN'S LEG. A twelve-year old boy named William Reynish, of Llanstadwell, was summoned by Henry Allen, of the same place, for malicious damage to a chicken. Mr W. J. Jones was for the complainant. The father of the defendant admitted that the chicken had its leg broken, but said it was only an accident. He had offered 2s 6d for the fowl, which was refused. A boy named John Charles, of Leonardston Road, Neyland, said he was in company with the defendant when the latter took up a stone to throw at an old salmon tin, when he hit a passing towl. Mr Jones said the witness had not told him anything of the tin, and he was allowed to treat the boy as a hostile witness. In cross-examination he admitted that the tin was an after-thought, and that the defendant said noth- ing about it until about ten minutes after the fowl had been inj ured. Henry Allen, the complainant, mentioned that recently he had lost as many as five fowls. He offered Reynish to take the injured fowl for 3s, out be declined to give more than 2s 6d. When he first mentioned the matter to the defendant's lather, tho latter exclaimed that bo hod no d--time to talk to him. Reynish That was at 5 o'clock in the morning, and I had to be at my work at quarter past. He added that he thought 2s 6d a fair offer for the fowl. Mrs Allen was also called, and said that when the boy's mother was spoken to, she said she could not afford to pay for the fowl. The magistrates held that no case of malicious injury had been made out, and the case was dismissed. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. John Griffiths, school-attendance officer, Hook, sum- moned Ann Jones, of Black Tar, Llangwm, for not send- ing her child to school regularly. The case was an adjourned one, and Mr Griffiths in- formed the court that since the adjournment there had been 24 attendances out of 28. The case was dismissed subject to the payment of costs by the defendant.
Bomb in Russia.
Bomb in Russia. TERRORISTS' BLACK WORK. MANY VICTIMS. HIGH OFFICERS KILLED. The Russian Terrorist has once more worked deadly havoc. On Saturday M. Stolypin, who became the third Premier under the new Russian regime, had a marvellous escape from assassination. During a reception at his villa some strangers appeared in military garb, and one of these dropped a bomb in an ante-room where ar numerons company had assembled. Though the Premier himself escaped, two of his children were shockingiy injured. Between twenty and thirty people were killed by the explosion, and many more were seriously injured. DETAILS OF THE CRIME. St. Petersburg, Sunday.—Inquiry has revealed that the men who perpetrated the attempt upon the life of M Stolypin arrived from Moscow by the Warsaw and not the Nikolai Railway, and took furnished rooms in Morskay-street. The carriage in which they drove up to the Premier's villa was hired, and they had previously driven in to the summer opera. The leader of the party, whose dead body is guarded by troops, is a young man of 25 years, of somewhat good looks, and very powerfully built. Under his brand new uniform was a civilian waistcoast, and his linen was extremely dirty. A few days ago an ex-officer named Boborykin wanted to warn M. Stolypin that an attempt would be made upon his life, but he was not allowed to see the Premier. To-day by order of the Deputy-Minister, Makaroff Boborykin was examined by a magistrate. M. Stolypin's daughter had both feet shattered and sustained large gaping wounds three to four inches long His three year old son had his right hip fractured and his scalp lacerated. Both children were begrimed with sand and dirt, having fallen from the balcony into the ruins. When the explosion occurred M. Stolypin was receiving two marshalls of the nobility, who affirm that there were two or three explosions. The Premier's first inquiry was for his family. From the ruins he himself extricated his children, and during the evening went twice to the hospital to see them. Late in the evening there were 28 dead and 24 injured in the hospital as the result of the outrage. The spectacle presented by the wounds, the groaning of the injured, and the moaning of the relatives was frightful, but still more terrible was the sight of the dead with their mangled limbs, many of them were shapeless lumps without hands or feet, quite irrecog- nisable. From later details it appears the miscreants drove up in an open carriage after the list of intending visitors had been closed. The servants would therefore not allow them to enter, although it was the Premier's reception day. They thereupon attempted to gain entry by force into an apartment adjoining the reception room where a number of visitors were waiting to seen M. Stolypin. In the struggle which ensued with the servants one of the Terrorists, who was disguised as a gendarme officer, let fall a bomb which exploded with terrible force, des- troying the ante room where the struggle took place, adjoining the guardroom and part of the reception room. The doorway and steps leading to it, as well as the balcony, were also wrecked. The Premier, who was receiving visitors in his private Cabinet, was uninjured. His daughter and little son, however, who were sitting on the balcony were injured. They were at once transported to a hospital. The principal loss of life occured in the anteroom. The number of victims was altogether about 60, 27 of whom were killed. Among the killed was M. Crostoff, a member of the Imperial Council Of the four terrorists, three were killed by the explosion. The fourth has been arrested. In addition to General Zamiatin M. Voronin, Master of Ceremonies, and M. Kvostoff, the killed included Prince Nakashidge, Captain Fedoroff, of the Gendarmery Corps, a police officer name Kozauzeff, and several guards, ser- vants and couriers, including two employes of the Artil- lery Depot of the Ministry of War. The building was very much damaged. Firemen are searching the ruins. Immediately after the outrage the Ministers of Finance, Marine and War, the Comptroller-General, the grand dukes and the diplomatic body called on M. Stolypin, to express their condolence and to congratulate him on his escape.-Reuter.
