DEATH OF JUDGE OWEN. LOSS TO THE COUNTY COURT BENCH. His Honour Judge Owen died on Wed- nesday morning at his Abergavenny resi- dence. The judge was recently operated upon for an internal compiaint, and al- though at first he made some progress, he lat-er lost strength, and, as stated, died. His Honour Judge William Stevenson Owen, D.L.. J.P., was the son of the late Mr. William Owen, of Withy-bush, Pem- brokeshire. and belonged to a well-known and highly-respected family in that oounty. He was bom in 1854. and was called to the Bar in lii5o. A considerable Chancery practice tc his share, and he was con- sidered a promising barrister. For a time he travelled the South Wales Circuit, and in 1883 was appointed to a county-court judgeship in Mid-Waies, being in 1884 transferred to Circuit No. 58, which in- cludes. the county-oourts of Cardiff, New- port, Barry, Chepstow, Abergavveny. Tre- degar, Ponaypooi, Monmouth, P«oss, Crick- ixwell and Usk. Hii personal conviction wae that the judgment summons system was a bad one. Ills argument was that it encouraged credit. He was strongly in favour of the reduction .of the time allowed for the col- lection of a debt under the Statute of Limitations, from six to two years. This, he thought, would minimise the credit sys- tem vruich now prevailed, which would be better for the trader and his customer. Jade Owen Waf noted. for the dry humour" which he introduced into the prosaic pro- ceedings of the county-court. His smart laconic commentaries frequently provoked laughter, whilst his caustic and scathing observations, when these were called forth, were things to be dreaded, as many a soli- citor will admit. The Rev. James Owen, Cheltenham, and Dr. Henry Owen. Pov- ston, two of his brothers, 4e well known in the county of Pembroke.
