A Compensation Case. -:0:-
A Compensation Case. -:0:- COUNTY COURT DECISION. .A rather important case uncL&r the Workmen's Compensation Act was heard ( by Judge William Evans, at Newtown, Montgomery, on Monday. A number of men were employed an November last by the defendants, Turner Brothers, iron- founders, in moving some machinery from the Severn Tweed Mills at Newtown, when a large tank fell on them., instantly kill- ing two workmen and permanently,injuring the third. I Mr Ellis Griffith, M.P., for the plaintiff, contended that though the mill was half a mile from defendants' works, the men were I employed about the defendants' works, and, in any case, were engaged in a mill or an J engineering, works. I Mr Arthur Lloyd, for the defendants, submitted) that the mills were not in pro- pinqity to respondents' works, and' that no engineering machinery was used other than pully blocks, which were not driven by mecnanical power. .Mr Edward Power, on behalf of the. third parties, the Severn Tweed Company, also argued that the men were not in proximity to defendants' works at the time of the ac- cident. His Honour found that the! men were, not in, or on, or about defendants' factory, and that the work on which they were engaged was tiot: engineering work withing the rl meaning of the Act. Commenting on the above decision, the j 1);tily Chronicle" says:—The ease. heard at Newtown (Montgomershire) yesterday, which we report elsewhere, brought to light what looks like a. grave defect in the Work- men's Compensation Act. The plaintiff, a wokman named Francis, was employed by Messrs Turner Bros., who own a foundry at Newtown. On the day of the accident, which involved the death of two men and the permanent disablement of Francis, he was sent by his employer to remove mach- inery from the factory of the Severn Mill Tweed Company. It, was admitted that the employment was on, in, or about a fac- tory, but the dtefnedants contended that' the Act requires the factory on, in, or about which the injury takes place ,to be in the occupation of the employer. The judge's interpretation of the Act, and .no doubt a correct interpretation, was to uphold this view, with the result that .this j .unfortunate man, who is disabled for life, i and the relatives of the two workmen .who were killed outright, are deprived of com- pensation- If this view is uphold, the sooner the Act is amended so as to include such cases the better.
Praying for the Dead.
Praying for the Dead. In bis annual report to the Aberystwyth Rural District Council Dr .James, of Borth, called attention to the practice of visiting the houses containing the dead and holding prayer meetings. The doctor agreed that prayer By a few friends with the relatives was a comfort, but when it came to holding the "wylncs" on the. death of a patient, and sitting overcrowded for hours it was most dangerous to health. The "wylnos" were as a rule attended by those who were not .regular atte-ndantt ordinary prayer meetings. The.Rev John Davies, chair- man of the committee appointed to con- isicler,tlie, report, stated that the committee were of the same opinion as the doctor. His experience of ordinary .prayer meetings were that they were thiols attended, but on the occasion of a "wylnos" the house of the dead was crowded. The vice-chairman Mr Morgan) proposed that the Council send: a letter to the different. denominations asking them to put a, stop .to the custom. Mr James Jones seconded, and said that it was simply a practice of making a show of the corpse. The Council rcf-used to pass the resolution, but it was hope-dthat notice would, be taken of the matter in proper quarters.

Walsh University tart. THE MA5BICULATION EXAMINA- TION. A meeting of the Welsh University Court was held at Shrewsbury on Friday night, the Deputy Senior Chancellor, Dr Isambard Owen, presiding.

George Ken- yon, Principal Viriamu Jones, Principal Reichel, Mr Ivor James, registrar, and .Mr Owen Owen, Chief Inspector of Intermed- iate Schools. — The Deputy Senior Chan- cellor proposed that the section of the char- ter dealing with matriculation should be amended so that the charter should- recog- nise matriculation or any other examination of any university lawfully established, iby the addition of the words "Or any public educational authority." The alteration, he said, was necessary in order that the uni- versity might recognise the examination of the Welsh Central Board as equivalent to matriculation examination. The Hon. George Kenyon seconded, and it was car- y Mr Humphreys (Owen, as chairman ref the Central Board, mpressed its grati- tude for the concession, and said the board d do its utmost to make the examina- tion worthy of entrance ttt the university.

The Handle of the Hatchet.
The Handle of the Hatchet. Near me on the table, as I write, on the top of a pile of old books, lies a hatchet that looks to be even older than the books. I iii- tice how smooth and worn the handle is, es- pecially at the place where it has been so often gripped by people in hammering and chopping. The edge is dull now, and the back is flattened and bruised, showing what a lot of work it has done in it time — all because it is made of good stuff, both blade and handle. Nobody ever makes the mis- take of ever trying to use a hatchet except in one way-taking it by the handle. What of that, then? you ask me, and why all this jabber about a rusty old hatchet on the top of a pile of rusty old books. I'll tell you in the twinkling of a marlinspike. The text is, "The importance of taking hold of Things by the Right End," and the sermon thereon shall be plain and short, as all the best sermons are. Now Mrs Mary Giggens is a lady who lives at West Tilbury, near the mill, in Essex and she is well and favourable known in the district. Among the many who know her is Mr Hart-, the postmaster at West Tilbury, and he corroborates every word she says about what happened. Her own story, put in few words, is this — For a long time, many years in fact, she had been under the harrow with bad health. Her trouble wa the familiar (and. abominable) complaint, indigestion. Every time she ven- tured to eat more than the merest morsel she suffered with pain at the chest and stomach. If you don't know what a perfect purgatory of a life this it is, because you have never made the acquaintance of that disorder. "However," says Mrs Gggens, in her cheer- ful way of speaking, "I got on fairly well up to the autumn of 1891, when another com- plaint took hold of me. I mean.rheumatism, which, if anything, was worse than the in- digestion. It started in my right arm and shoulder, and gave me such pain as I had no idea of before. People with rheumatism sometimes call themselves martyrs, and I don't think the word is a bit too strong, for the way this complaint can torment one is something awful. My joints got to be hot and swollen all round, and hurt me so I hard- ly had. any rest with them day or night. "By and by, what with the indigestion and the rheumatism. I got so weak I could neither work nor do a hand's turn for my- self. I couldn't even brush any own hair,nor lift anything. The power seemed all gone out of my right arm. "I was like this for about three years;, and long worrying years they were. If you should ask me to describe what I went through I should tell you it was quite im- possible. Every mouthful of food I took gave me pain at the chest and between the should- ers; and because of this I ate as little as I could; and so got weaker and more miser- able continually. I consulted doctors and ,took medicines, and used ointments and liniments, etc., but they eased me only a moment as you may say, but then I would be as bad as aver. In February it was (of 1895) I first read about. Mother Seigel's Syrup as a great. and wonderful cure for indigestion, and I made up my mind to try it for that, thinking I might bear the rheumatism better if I could <get rid of the indigestion. So I went to the International Tea Stores at Gravesend and bought a bottle of the Syrup. "I11 a few day- I was a deal better. There was less pain at the stomach, chest, and shoulders, and besides- I felt stronger. On this I kept taking the Syrup, and in a little while, to my great surprise and delight, all the rheumatic pains that had troubled me so long disappeared, and I was a new creature. Presently I was as strong as ever in my life, and since then I have had no return of either the rheumatism or the indigestion. "What I want particularly to mention, and call attention to, is that when I began taking Mother -Seigel's Syrup for the indigestion I had no idea of its doing me an good for the rheumatism. Yet I feel deeply thankful r> n the same, and perhaps you will kindly explain the reason why the medicine cured both com- plaints, :as (Others besides me might like to know. You.may print my letter, if -oil, wish, for the good of other sufferers.' (Signed) MARY GIGGENS, West Tilbury, February 2nd, 1899. As to the explanation, that we will give blithely enough, as we have done many a time I before. Indigestion (because of the rxmsons it fills the blood with) is the- cause of rheu- matism. Hence, when .Mother Seigel's Syrup had cured the lady's stomach trouble the rheumatism had to go away with it. Do you see? Kill a bad cause andl you kill a bad effect. Why, la! me, it was like taking that old hatchet by the handle instead of by the blade. But hatchets are easier to understand than diseases, aren't they?
Bangor County Court
Bangor County Court On Monday, before His-Honour Sir Hor- atio Lloyd, a case arising upon a judgment summons came before the court. The plaintiffs were Messrs Darbishire, Limited, iPenmaenmawr, and, the defendant was Da- vid Hughesf, painter and dgcorator, Para- iæ terrace, Peumaerwiawr. The claim W one for E233 14s Qd, and Lg 18s 6d costs; in respect to money lent, &c. An Action was brought for this amount in the High Court, and judgment was given in favour of the plaintiffs. Mr iLayton (Liver- pool) and Mr Elias (Conway), now appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr Thornton Jones for the defendant, on whose benau he sub- mitted a proposal to pay £50 within the next two months, and L40 aer quarter after- wards, ta liquidation of the elaam. The defendant was ex Iamined-, at considerable length by Mr Layton, and to the circum- stances under which he borrowed the money from the plaintiffs, and also as to his (defendant's) properties at Penmaenmawr. On the application of Mr ayton, his Hon- our grafted a. receiving order in bankruptcy against the defendant. Alfred Shepherd, cabinet maker, Rhyl, applied for his discharge in bankruptcy. The Official Receiver (Mr LI. Hugh Jones) reported that the debtor was adjudicated bankrupt on December 31, 1897, and attri- buted his insolvency to bad trade. Ac- cording to the statement of affairs, the lia- bilities estimated ttq rank for duvidend1 were put down at C374 4s 4d, and the assets at P,81 6s 9d, although they realised JE91 7s Id. A first and final dividend of 3d in the £ had been paid to the creditors. The Official Receiver formally opposed the ap- plication, on the ground that the bankrupt's assets were not equal in value to 10s in the z, that he had failed to keep Droper books of account, that he had traded after know- ing that he was insolvent, and that he had made ai p<reyfouis arrangement with his creditors. His Honour granted the dis- charge on condition that the debtor con- sented to judgment being entered against him for £ 50. In thmatter of the bankruptcy of Ellis Roberts, Portdinorwic, the Official Receiv- er stated that he applied before His Honour. on the 12th December that the debtor should be ordered to file within five days an affidavit, setting forth what property was vested in, or acquired! by him since the 1 tate of the receiving order, and that he -1 r1 be ordered, to deliver up such ro- perty to theOfficialReceiver. The debtor had now made an affidavit in which he set forth that he was the owner of an eleventh share in the Victoria Quarry, Bettws Garmon, and also a 64th share in a schooner, which at the date of the affidavit, was the subject of legal proceedings. With regard to his interest in the quarry, the debtor stated that it was subject to lien to certain parties namely, Robert Evans, and Messrs J. T. Roberts and Davies, solicitors. The Official Receiver now applied for leave to make the previous named parties to the action as co-owners with the debtor in the particular t™e'appyii2^!dt0- Honour granted
AN EXTRAORDINARY SHIPPING…
AN EXTRAORDINARY SHIPPING CASE. At,, the Bristol Amiralty Court, on Thursday, before his Honour Judge Aus- w'i uaUn !OU Was heard in which the elsh Granite Company of Carnarvon, were the plaintiffs, and the owner of th schooner Hope," and all persons interest- 111 ulS 7e in, the cargo lately arrived by her, were the defendants. The plaintiffs claimed delivery of the cargo of setts laden in the said vessel at Llanael- haiarn, on a voyage from that place to Bristol, of the value of JE200, and £ 50 damages for detention. The defendant, the owner of the "Hope," counterclaimed for damages for wrongfully refusing delivery, in consequence of which, the vessel was delayed 87 days; and he claimed LIOS in repect thereof. He also claimed that dock dues and wages had been incurred in con- sequerce of the plaintiffs' default, amount- ing to £ 160, and also the sum of £ 100 for the wrongful arrest and sale of his vessel, the total amount of the counterclaim being L268 15s. Mr Bryn Roberts, M.P. (instructed by i Messrs Nee and Gordon Roberts. Carnar- von) appeared' for the plaintiffs; Mr In skip (instructed by Messrs Griffith Jone< I and James, Carnarvon) for Mr Ellis Ro b.ejrts and Mr W. Maurice Jorijes, Port- idsinorwic, the owner and mortgagee re- spectively of the "Hope;" Mr Heart, for Messrs Osborne Ward & Co., solicitors for Messirs Beachiim and Belmont, Bristol, warehousemen of the cargo; and1 Mr DOg-I; gett for the Bristol Tramway Company. Mr Inskip and! Mr Hunt gave formal no- tice of objection tQ the jurisdiction. Mr Bryn Roberts, in opening the case. stated that the plaintiffs were a limited company, and carried on business at Car- narvon. In October they consigned a cargo of setts in the "Hope" to the Bristol Tramway Company Ltd., and bills of lad- ing were duly signed and dated 31st Oc- tober. The freight was not due until de- livery, but at the urgent request of the defendant Roberts, Mr W. Farren, the secretary to the Plaintlffg' company, ad- vanced the whole amount of ihe "gaill The vessel lost some considerable time in taking in her cargo, also on the voyage, and arrived at Fislguard in November, where she met with a mishan. While at anchor another vessel named the "Har- vest Queen" collided with her, and cross actions were instituted in the "Pembroke Court,' when the "Hope" was arrested. Mr Inskip: Wrongfully arrested. The action against the "Hope' was dismissed. Mr Roberts: That is so, and the action was decided in favour of the "Hope" with costs, but- before the case was tried the captain of the "Hope" broke his arrest and came on to Bristol. His Honour: With the bailiff on board. Mr Roberts: No, I think he had gone on shore (laughter). Mr Inskip: This was done on the advice of a Welsh lawyer. Mr Roberts (proceeding) said that the bailiff followed by train and retook pos- session as soon as the "Hope:' arrived at Bristol, and the caplain Was put in gaol for contempt of court (laughter). At the trial of the action at Pembroke between the "Harvest Queen" and the "Hope," the solicitors for the plaintiffs applied for the release of the cargo, but counsel, on behalf of Mr Ellis Roberts, set up a claim for general average against the plaintiffs. The judge declared not to interfere in the matter. After getting rid of the bailiffs there was fnther trouble for the "Hope" at Bristol, where some of the crew commenced nro- ceedings in the magistrates' court for wages. His Honour: It seems to have been an unfortunate voyage. Mr Robefts: Most unfortunate (aueh- ter). The seamen, he continued, recovered orders for payment, and at this stage his Honour granted a warrant of arrest on the plaintiffs' application. The vessel was ad- vertised for sale, and the plaintiffs con- sented to withdraw their bailiff on condi- tion that the money realised should be re- tained by the magietrat.es' clerk to await the order of the court. Counsel stated that he would prove that when the "Hope" reached Bristol an official of the Tramway Company applied for the cargo, and it was refused, except on condition that it should: be deliverc-d into a private yard, subject to a lieu for detention and costs in connection with the accident at Fish- guard. Afterwards the owner of the "Hope" landed the cargo and put it i a private warehouse belonging; to Messrs j Beachim and Balmont, and hence this ac- tion for the delivery. In the defendants' ciouuterclaimi it was stated that delivery had been declined since the 29th Decem- ber. Mr Roberts pointed out that the de- fendant was unable to give delivery until the 25th March, as up to that time he had the bailiffs on board, and on that day de- Ifivery (would havje T>eea accepted if un- conditional. Mr William Farren was called to prove the contract, and in one letter to the de- fendant he had stated his regret at having j ever given him: a. cargo, the defendant re- plying that he also regretted having taken it (laughter). His Honour: I think this vessel should have been named "The Despair" (laugh- ter). Mr Farren, proceeding, stated that a fortnight would have been ample time in which to deliver the cargo. In cross- examination, he admitted that one vessel 'chartc^red by his Domipinv had taken a. month to perform the voyage to Bristol; and on re-examination it transpired that this ves- sel was the "Hope." Mr Nee, plaintiffs' solicitor, proved that in the correspondence between his firm and Mr Richard Roberts, who acted for the defendant, the defendant being claimed to be entitled to general average, and that the plaintiffs had repudiated any liability on this account. Several conver- sations had taken place between the wit- ness and Mr Ellisi Roberts and his solici- tor, but neither of them had ever stated that they looked to his client fcr Jock dues or wages. Mr Edwards, the engineer of the Tram- way Company, .ai,d that on the 25th March last he was offered delivery on con- dition that his company contributed to- wards the expenses incurred on the voy- age, but, he declined, and Mr Symes, the Tramway Company's storekeeper, nroved the presence of the bailiff -on board on December 29th. and that in conversation with the bailiff he was informed that the cargo could not be removed. Mr Roberts, closing the case for plain- tiffs, said that it was not their fault that the owner of the "Hope" had not sufficient money to release the vessel or obtain bail. and so present the detention, and that Js a common carrier to deliver with the greatest despatch. Legal. arguments arose on. the question of jurisdiction, and as to the .respective rights of the parties. His Honour remarked that this case re- minded him of a Chinese puzzle. He thought a Welsh knot of this sort should have been untied in a Welsh court. Mr Bryn Roberts: We asked the other side to consent to the trial at the Bangor court, but after agreeing to do so and when the necessary documents were drawn out, they told us to take our own course. His Honour: I don't complain at having to hear the case. It is seldom we have a case with so much law as there is in this one. Mr Inskip caJled the defendant, Mr Ellis Roberts, who said that up to the time of the sale he was the owner of the "Hope," subject to the mortgage tro Mr Maurice Jones. After the collision of the "Hope" at Fishguard, she could not come on to Bristol before being/ repaired. He spent from R50 to £ 60 on repairs, and he had to pay dock dues. He considered that the plaintiffs were liable for contribution to- wards this expense, as it was incurred to save their cargo. Arising out of some remarks which had been made as to the bill of lading, by which the setts were consigned to the Tramway Company, Mr Roberts asked his Honour for permission to join the Tramway Com- pany as plaintiffs. Mr H. G. Doggett, solicitor to the com- t,9 pany, stated his willingness that the com- pany should be so joined. Mr Inskip objected to any such amend- ment of the claim. His Honour, in reply to Mr Inskip, de- cided that he must have the authority of the Tramways Company in writing under their seal. Mr Doggett promised that should be done. Mr Inskip argued that, the evidence having been heard, it was proposed to put up a new plaintiff and a new cause of action. On this point, and on the question of jurisdiction, numerous references and lengthy arguments resulted. His Honour decided that he had juris- diction, and, that he ought to join the Tramway Company as plaintiffs. Mr Inskip submitted that whatever cause of action there was arose at the end of March, when the setts were put into a pri- vate yard instead of being delivered uncon- ditionally to the Tramway Company. The Judge thought the cause of action was somewhere about the 27th Mach. Mr Inskip took it that the original plaintiffs had gone out of the case, and as to the Tramway Company he submitted that they had sustained no damage. On the question ot general average he thought the defendant was entitled to a contribution in respect of the cargo, because the "Hope, after the collision, went into port and in- curred charges for the common good of ship and cargo. The Judge: If you have any lieu on the cargo, I say that no action lies. Mr Roberts agreed. He added that whatever damage there might be. for gen- eral average resulted from the collision, and would be recoverable from the party in the wrong the "Harvest Queen." But he submitted that no contribution was due from the plaintiffs for general averagj The Judge said he was sorry for Mr Eilis Roberts, the owner of the "Hope," or what was called the "Hope," for he did not know whether the present owner of the ship had given another name (laughter). Mr Ro- berts met with the most lamentable mis- fortune lin the .various vicissitudes that beset the "Hope" on her two months' journey from Carnarvon to Bristol. The "Hope" was run into off Fishguard, and had an action brought against her in the Pembroke County Court. Her captain was ill advised! enough to ruA away from the Pembrokeshire bailiff, who toilow <1 her to Bristol. In Bristol two more mis- fortunes happened to Mr Roberts, mem- bers of the crew obtaining magistrates' or- ders for the payment of wages, and the ship being sold after having been arrested' by a warrant from that court. He gave judgment for the plaintiffs for the de- livery of the cargo, with costs and £ 2 2s The counterclaim failed.. He declined to allow Mr Hart any costs. Mr Roberts asked that the money held by the Magistrates' Clerk should be paid over to the plaintiffs. Mr Inskip objected on behalf of the mortgagee. Mr Registrar Harley stated that about £ 117 was in the hand's of the Magistrates' Clerk, but he was informed that it had been reduced to about £80, after payment of wages and costs. His Honour held that he had no ÎlJr;s- diction over the money in the hands of Mr Gore. He thought that prima far.' j Mr Gore ought to pay the money to Mr Ellis Rooerts. After a long argument it was arranged, in order to avoid further litigation, that of the tSO thereabouts in the hands of Mr Gore, half should go to the plan-tiffs in settlement of costs and damages and the remainder to the defendant and the mort- gagee.
A Local Law Case.
A Local Law Case. On Friday Mr Justice Barnes, assisted by Trinity Masters, in the Admiralty Division, g?ve judgment in the action of John Hav and others v. The Little Orme's Head Limestone Company, in which the plain- tiffs, the owners of the steamship Viscount, ot Glasgow, sued the defendants to recover for damage alleged to have been sustained by that vessel while alongside the defen- dants' wharf at Abergele Bay, on the 26th April, 1898. Mr Robson, Q.C., and Mr J. A. Hamilton, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr W. Pickford, Q.C., and Mr Maurice Hill for the defendants. Mr Justice Barnes in the course of his judgment, said there were several issues in this case, and on each the evidence was conflicting. The plaintiffs, he had come to the conclusion, had failed to show a, breach of contracts or of duty on the part of the defendants or their servants with regard to all the points which had been raised. In the first case the defendants' evidence quite outweighed that of the plaintiffs on the point taken that the Viscount was in- vited to come alongside the wharf. With regard to the issues raised that the state "f the berth was bad, and that proper care was not exercised by the defendants, he was of opinion that they were really an- swered by the defendants' evidence. He found that the berth was reasonably fit for the Viscount to lie in, and that there was no want of care on the part of the defen- dants with regard to it. In reference to the damage sustained by the Viscount, both he and the Elder Brethren were of opinion that it was not occasioned by the uneven- ness of the berth, but was due to the way the ship came in, and to the way in which she was loaded. She came in without waiting for the berthing signal, and never trot into a proper position. The claim, therefore, must be dismissed, and ludgment, be entered for the defendants with costs. Orders for the construction of four coal transport boats have been received by the firm of Jabon Freres, near Liege, from a Hull steamship company.
