Mountain Ash Watchmaker's…
Mountain Ash Watchmaker's Failure. The adjourned case of George Jones Edwards, watchmaker, Oxford Street, Mountain Ash, came on first. He was represented hy Mr W. Thomas, Aber- dare. Debtor's liabilities amounted to £ 641 2s 2d. assets C19 Os 3d, defic- iency £ 622 Is lid. He attributed his failure to commencing business without capital, borrowing money at a heavy rate, bad trade, pressure of creditors and costs in connection with executions. The case had been adjourned in order that debtor might submit fur- ther accounts. Debtor, examined, said that during the 19 months he was in business he had paid County Court and Sheriff's costs, amountig to 274 13s 2d. He had paid t77 for a lease which he now considered worth- less. He overpaid for the stock £100. He paid JE14 interest to money lenders, 10 guineas for repairing premises, household expenses, 30s a week; post- age and incidental expenses, £8; plate license, L5; rents, rates and taxes, £54 10s. L84 3s. 9d. was put down as "estima- ted loss in carrying on business on which I have no record and cannot ex- plain." In reply to the O.R. he sta- ted that he had sold goods under cost, but had made profit on some. The O. R. told- debtor that there must be come leakage in his business which he had not mentioned. Were his household expenses higher than what he had stated? Debtor believed that the costs in- curred in writs and summonses were higher than he had estimated them, only he could not give a detailed account. Mr W. Thomas expressed the opin- ion that debtor's household expenses had been placed too low. Further examined, debtor said that he commenced business without capital and had to borrow money at a heavy rate. The turnover was not high, owing to bad trade. The Official Receiver pointed out that debtor had not put anything down as revenue in the repairing de- partment of his business. At the request of Mr Thomas, the examination was closed.
Fishmonger that Failed.
Fishmonger that Failed. Arthur Hurt (26), residing at Whit- combe Street, Aberdare, was represent- ed by Mr W. Thomas. His liabilities were placed at L298 9s 2d; assets £ 24; deficiency R274 9s 2d. Debtor said that he bought a house and had to advance money in the Bank to pay for it, and deposit the deeds, which the Bank now held. He valued it now at C220-less than what he paid. He could not find his bank book. He believed that his wife burnt it along with other pap'ers. He had a stall in the Market until his brother took it over. Debtor was compelled to tlive it up. Since then he had been Sawking and carrying on a wholesale business with small traders. He had borrowed money at a heavy interest from Durham and Co., moneylenders. They were pestering him with circulars coniinually. Official Receiver: And you thought you would accept their kind offers- Yes. He estimated his household expenses at £ 2 a week, and 10s a week for tele- grams and postages; railway charges jE3 per week. -k The Official Receiver remarked that in submitting estimates of receipts and expenses debtor invariably gave the amount to the halfpenny, which was remarkable cosidering that he was simply guessing. He had been forced to sell cheap owing to competi- ion with his own brother. The main cause of his trade was bad trade and the high price of fish, the illness of his wife, and bad debts. He had been put to expense through the death crfthiee children. The losing ot his stall m the "Market was a great calamitv. A tew employees had been robbing him, too. He had not taken any steps to prose- cute them hut had dismissed them. He was surprised to tod that taaj snlvmy was so much. He had ofte « hi5SJWhis- Refused to accept the hence his filing his petition. He had bought some books on horses from the Waverley Book Co. He placed no money on horses. The -books did not deal with racehorses. His wife olaim ed the furniture. None ot his money went to buy any of tlieni. He Had no money when he got married. The examination was closed.
Another Buyer of Books.
Another Buyer of Books. The next to be examined was Wil- yaln (54), tailor, Whitcombe St., Aberdare. He was represented by Mr W. Thomas. Debtor said he had been in business as a tailor in Aberdare all his life. He had lived at his pres- ent address for nearly 7 years, and for the last 18 months he had kept no as- sistants at all. He had been unable to give his accounts because the dog had got hold of his book and devoured a portion of it. Since 1907 he had had four bouts of illness. He had been struggling ever since to reduce his lia- bilities, and in order to meet his credi- tors he had borrowed money from Cun- ningham and from the South Wales Equitable Society. He paid a very high rate of interest. His chief credi- tors had expressed sympathy with him and accepted an offer to repay accord- ing to his ability. He had suffered greatly in his business through com- petition, which was extremely keen. He had bought books from the Waver- ley Co. They were business encyclo- pedias. He had also bought books from the Caxton Co. and had lent them to a friend, who had never re- turned them. His furniture had been claimed by his wife. j Evans' liabilities were JE120 16s 4d; assets tS Os 5d; deficiency CI12 15s lid. He owed three creditors for cloth, tll6 19s. Od.; two creditors for gas, El 18s. 4d.; and one creditor for books, £1 19s. The examination was closed.
Miskin Grocer-Labourer s Lament,…
Miskin Grocer-Labourer s Lament, Patrick Collins (45) was represented > by Mr Edmunl Evans. Debtor said he was a collies* s labourer and lived at Miskin. His liabilities were £ 94 los lid. He opened a sweet shop in Merthyr soon after his marriage. Afterwards he removed to Dowlais. In January of last year he removed to Miskin. In August he removed to his present address at 26, King St., Mis- kin. He worked underground and his wife kept a grocery business. He kept no books of account, and had no bank- ing account. He had no idea how the trade paid him. He had lost £ 70 in the last 12 months. The causes of failure were bad debts, small profit, illness, and bad eyesight. He had been unable to work since September last. He had received 10s a week In- surance money, but obtained nothing now. There were several County Court judgments against him and that was why he filed his petition. Since his insolvency he had contracted a debt of t20 with Mr. H. Eynon. He order- ed £10 worth of goods from him the week before he filed. He did not tell Mr Eynon that he intended to file. The examination was closed.
Abercwmboi Man's Means.
Abercwmboi Man's Means. Daniel Hughes (30), colliery labour- er, was represented by Mr W. Thom- as. His liabilities were £.:>4 2s 6d; as- sets, E17 2s 6d; deficiency, t37. In examination Hughes said that he com- menced business at Abercwmboi as a sweet vendor. He borrowed money to carry on the business, then he removed to 58, Bronallt Terrace, and after- wards to 69 Park View. He had suffer- ed from mystagmus and had obtained compensation. He had kept a memor- andum book-the only account book he had—but it was not available now. The causes of failure were the ill-health of himself and wife. She was always ill. Insufficient trade and bad trade ruined his business. The household expenses of himself, wife and three ad- opted children he estimated at t3 per week. He received 10s a week from the guardians towards two of the children. He applied for an adminis- tration order some time ago. but the Judge refused on account of the adopt- ed children. He had no furniture of his own. He had sold aTi he had to his brother-in-law, Wm. Jones, just before lie filed his petition. ( Examination closed.. ■ —

During a debate in the Australian House of Representative a Labour mem- ber charged the Ministry with "hiding under the garments of their purity the cloven hoof which is to undermine the democratic institutions of the country." Another member taunted an opponent with" having climbed down the back of a red herring!"
Aberdare Trades Council.
Aberdare Trades Council. The monthly meeting of the above was held on Thursday under the presi- dency of Mr John Davies, who was sup- ported by Councillors Wm. Rees, Owen Powell, D. E. Davies and E. Stone- lake.
Political Organisation.
Political Organisation. The following was moved by Mr J. Davies, seconded by Mr E. W. Davies, and carried: That in order to develop and perfect the Labour Political Or- ganisation in the Merfhyr Boroughs this Council agrees to co-operate with 9 other Trades Councils in the constitu- ency in remodelling the local Labour Representation Committee, and nereby resolves to amend Rule 1 so as to allow any legitimate Socialist, Suffrage or Cooperative Society to become affili- ated."

< E.C. The following were elected as E.C. members: Messrs. W. Jones, W. Lynch, P. Williams, E. W. Davies, W. Walters, and Councillor D. E. Davies.
The Carnival.
The Carnival. The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Toms, gave a report of the undertak- ing, which, although not supported by a number of tradesmen in the town and district, had turned out a success, fin- ancially and otherwise. The Carnival Committee and their energetic secretary, Mr. Geo. Gruhb, were thanked for their work. A committee was selected to prepare ways and means to carry on similar work in the future.
Labour Members' Reports.
Labour Members' Reports. Councillor Wm. Rees referred to the advent of Labour Councillors on the District Council. The Council once numbered 12 members. The member- ship was afterwards increased to 20. Now the work was increasing so much and the responsibility on the shoulders of the Councillors had become so great, that they had decided to ask the County Council to increase the number to 27, and this had been granted. Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 Wards would soon have five members each and No. 5 Ward seven members. Mr Rees referred to the work done under the Town Plan- ning Act. The Council had closed a number of slum dwellings, and no doubt more would be closed when accommoda- tion could be found for the tenants. The School Clinic Dept. was doing a lot of good to the children, and the child of the future would be better looked after than the child of the past, which would mean that the next generation would be more healthy. The Council hoped soon to have the long- looked-for-hospital built. The site had been decided upon. He further re- ferred to the Water Supply, Electric Lighting and 'Trams. Councillor Owen Powell said that the Labour members took an active inter- est in the general welfare of the rate- payers and the education of the child. The presence of Labour on the Council was felt, and although not in the majority they managed to carry resolu- tions for the benefit of the general pub- lic. The Labour members took a special interest in the child-life of the town and district. They were deter- mined to have for all children the best education and every possible com- fort as far as school accommodation was concerned. Referring to the hous- ing problem, Mr Powell said that there were a number of houses that were un- fit for habitation, but they were deter- mined to have for the people decent houses to live in. Good and healthy houses were bound to decrease the death-rate. The outlying districts were having attention. The Council, in con- junction with others, had succeeded in having a Station for Cwmbach. This would be a great boon to the inhabit- ants of that part. Mr. Powell also referred to the Librarv in the town. The outlying districts were ahead of the town m this respect. They had their public halls and reading rooms for young and old; and it was time for the town to have a place where the young could spend their evenings profitably. Councillor D. E. Davies said that al- though he had only been a member for two months he had learned that the position of a Councillor was not a sinecure, but he hoped that he would be of some help on the Council to allevi- ate the suffering of his fellow-men. He would try his best to help other reform- ers. Councillor E. Stonelake made a few general remarks on the increased repre- sentation and the Tramways. He was glad to know that the people appreci-- ated the efforts of the Councillors in this direction. After a few questions had been answered the chairman moved a vote of tanks to the Labour Members for their reports.

Administrations.
Administrations. Nehemiah Sage, 35 Arthur Street, Miskin, Mountain Ash, who was or- dered to file proper accounts in a re- quest for administration at last Court, had not done so, and the case was struck out. Chas. Archer, 23 Gwen Ifor Street, Mountain Ash, represented by Mr S. Shipton, was 40 years of age, and an underground haulier. He earned 21 14s. 4d. a week. He has four chil- dren. He owed 234 15s. He offered to pay in full at the rate of 12s. per month.—Granted.

Ed- wards, made application (being now 21 years of age) for the payment out of court of his share of compensation in the action against Guest, Keen & Nettlefold. His father's name was Alfred Alexander Harper, and he met his death whilst in the employ of the respondent. The sum due to the applicant was £ 24.—His Honour ordered the case to stand over, to enquire if there was sufficient to keep the other 111iren until they at- tained 14 years.

Building Company's Books. The case of the Abercynon Houses, Land and Building Co. against T. W. Jones, accountant, Abercynon, was mentioned by Mr T. W. Griffiths, Aberdare. The application was to make quite clear His Honour's order regarding the books, which were or- dered to be handed into court by the defendant in the action. His Honour ordered that a meet- ing of shareholders be called to pro- perly regularise the directors, when further application could be made to His Honour as to the handing back of the Jbooks of the Co. to the direc- tors who established their position,
Milkmaid Becomes Dressmaker.!
Milkmaid Becomes Dressmaker. Mary Ellen Jones, 1 Dock Cottage, Abercynon, a dressmaker, repre- sented by Mr Lyons (Spickett and Sons, Pontypridd), sued Charles Davies, Glancynon Terrace Aber- cynon. who was represented by Mr S. Shipton, for the sum of 231 10s., the price of a milk round utensils, etc. Plaintiff last September was a milk vendor, and defendant came to her in the street and asked her if she was willing to sell -the milk round. She replied yes. He then asked the price, and she told him she would sell the tins and measures for 30s., and he could arrange with her mother the price of the round. The defendant took over the round on Sunday, Oct. 1st. On Sept. 30th (Saturday night) she took the meas- ures, by his request, to his shop. She then took him to all the customers on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, after which he promised to pay. The round she had to sell was on the same ground as defendant's. The last week of her round she sold 120 gallons of milk. He put both rounds together and then sold them. The price of a milk round was 5s. per £ on every gallon per week. She had never received a penny piece for utensils or round. By Mr Shipton: She was fined 210 and costs at Merthyr Court for selling milk deficient in butter fat. She asked Thomas, the milk seller, to buy the round, but he refused. Sarah Jones, mother of last wit- ness, stated that her daughter sold the milk round to the defendant, and he came to her six weeks afterwards. She offered him the round and uten- sils for 25, and he said he would call up in three weeks time and pay. Annie Thomas, 2 New Street, Abercynon, knew all the parties. She saw Mrs. Jones and the defendant at the former's house in November. She heard Mrs. Jones say to defendant that it was time the money was paid for the milk round, and the sum of £5 was mentioned, which defendant promised to pay in three weeks, He said he was going to sell the rounds and expected to get 270 or £80 for them. Evan Williams, milk vendor, Aber- cynon, said the average selling price of a milk round was 30s. per gallon per day. Charles Davies, Glancynon Ter- race, Abercynon, the defendant, stated that he had been a milkman in that place for five years. He sold 19 gallons a day during that time. Miss Jones came to him and asked him to buy a milk round. She said she wanted 30s. for it. She sold from four to five gallons a day. When he went to Mrs. Jones's house and heard her ask £5 he told her that the girl had settled with him for 30s. He sold the two rounds of 24 gallons, 2 carts, a barrow, shop fittings, some goods including butter, bacon, eggs, scales and weights, a pony, 2 churns, and two sheds in the back yard for JE70. By Mr Lyon: When he sold the business he was selling 23 gallons per dav. He sold it to Daniel Jones at the end of October. He re- ceived 220 down, and the restby in- stalments of 210 in March, 210-in June and zC30 in September. He sold plaintiff's business a month after he bought it. The Judge thought that the story told by the plaintiff and her mother was improbable, ,and that the defend- ant's story was right. Judgment for defendant, the 30s. paid into court by him to be paid to plaintiff, and costs for defendant.
Fire Brigade Squabble.
Fire Brigade Squabble. Thos. J. Bryer. Penrhiwceiber, re- presented by Mr J. Lovat Fraser (in- structed by Mr Herbert George, Mountain Ash), sued Albert Swaine, a member of the Penrhiwceiber Fire Brigade, represented by Mr W. Thomas, for £4 10s., or the return of the Brigade Uniform. Thos. J. Bryer stated that the uni- form and upkeep of the Brigade, was maintained by a subscription of 910 per annum from the District Council and the rest from public subscrip- tions. There were also two smoking concerts to help to provide the uni- forms, which cost £74. They were ordered by the Secretary, who at that time was David Lewis. In July last year there was some unpleasant- ness. Defendant had left the bri- gade, and according to the rules, he should have returned the uniform. The unpleasantness at first arose be- cause the Council had granted wit- ness A:13 (as captain) a year, and evidently the other members of the brigade thought he was getting too much out of it. In July last year he put a notice up for drill. None of the members attended, and after- wards he put one up once a week till September 20th. The rule re- garding drills was that to make themselves efficient they must at- tend two-thirds of the drills. There was a meeting called for September 20th, and Councillor Morris presid- ed. Councillors Hall and Thomas Jones, and the members of the Bri- gade were also present. The meet- ing was so rowdy that witness, the chairman, and the Councillors left. Xo resolution was passed. As the result of that witness sent a notice to ten of the members practically dismissing them. Swain had not brought his uniform in. People still subscribed to the Fire Brigade, and he wanted the uniform returned, to go on with the work. He was still the Captain. The Board of Man- agement was comprised of the local Councillors and six of the members of the Brigade. They never met ex- cept last Sept. 20th. By the Judge The committee had never met since last September. The Judge: The rules are loosely I made and loosely carried out. One states that the committee meet for discussion. That seems the most important rule of the lot. Why, people meet in public houses for dis- cussion. The mistake made is that of not fixing a proper authority. Neither the District Council nor I plaintiff have proper authority. Plaintiff was non-suited, no costs allowed.
Mountain Ash "Sydney Street"…
Mountain Ash "Sydney Street" House Again. Wm. Griffiths, 3 Hamilton St., Mountain Ash, represented by Mr. T. W. Langman (instructed by Mr. Wm. Thomas, Aberdare), applied for an ejectment order against Wm. Evans, Hamilton Villa, Mountain Ash. S. Pittaway, County Court bailiff, served a copy of the notice on the defendant. J. R. Thomas, a clerk in the em- ploy of Mr Wm. Thomas, saw the mortgage deed in Mountain Ash. Counsel informed His Honour that the property had been mortgaged by the defendant to Daniel Jenkins. The plaintiff purchased the premises from Daniel Jenkins, and defendant now refused possession. Howell Arnold Evans served a copy of the notice demanding pos- session on defendant on April 27th. Judgment for plaintiff, possession to be given in 21 days.
A 4/6 Gas Engine.
A 4/6 Gas Engine. Thomas H. Williams, Duffryn Mews, Mountain Ash, represented by Mr T. W. Langman (instructed by Mr Herbert George), sued Wm. John Bevan, rent collector, Aber- cynon (represented by Mr S. Ship- ton) for damages, 20 guineas, for breach of warranty. Thomas H. Williams, C'adwaladr Street, Mountain Asli, stated that in October last he visited a sale at Lanman's Coach Building Yard, Mountain Ash. Bevan showed him a gas engine, but he wouldn't pur- chase. Bevan then invited him to Abercynon, and he went on October 13th. There was a gas engine in de- fendant's yard. He said: "She works well, and drives the whole of the pop works." He didn't buy. Later he went to the Belle Vue Inn, Penrhiwceiber, and they discussed the purchase of the gas engine. Bevan said he would do the same as Cross Bros., and put her down in working order. He then bought her for 918 10s. on a guarantee that she was correct, and was to be fixed up. On October 17th he went to fetch the engine. He took a paper for de- fendant to sign and gave a copy to him. He did not sign, as he said it was no good. Defendant would type one out and send to witness. Defendant wrote the cheque out and witness signed it. Defendant never came near to fix the engine. Mr. Morgan Edmunds was called in to fix it up, but he failed to make it go. Mr Rowe, Hirwain, and Mr Baker also failed. By Mr Shipton: When he saw the engine it had the pulleys fixed to it, but the gas engine had not. Cross's price for a second-hand one was 945, but he didn't want to give zCI8 for scrap iron. Joseph Rowe, fitter, stated he had examined the engine, and he con- sidered it was only worth scrap price-Is. 6d. per cwt. It was in such a bad condition that he didn't think it worth while to try her. By Mr. Shipton If it had been in fair order it would be worth zCl5 to £ 20. As it was, about 4s. 6d. was its value. Wm. Henry Baker said that the exhaust valve was eaten out with rust. He wouldn't have the engine as a gift. Wm. John Bevan, the defendant, stated that the gas engine in ques- tion was used as a spare engine and had been in use two months prior to its sale to the plaintiff. He volun- teered to help plaintiff to fix the engine, but refused to sign the paper guaranteeing the engine. He then gave him a cheque. He didn't, as plaintiff alleged, write out the cheque for him. He went to help plaintiff to fix the engine, but when he got there plaintiff said his land- lord had not given permission to fix it. Judgment for defendant with costs.

Administrations.
Administrations. David Williams, 36 Morgan Street, Aberdare, represented by Mr T. W. Griffiths, applied for an administration order in respect of his debts, t34. He has a wife and six children. He offered to pay his debts in full at the rate of 12s. a month.—His Honour suggested IBs. a month, but applicant said he could not pay that amount.—Order re- fused. Thomas Edwards, 8 East Avenue, Gadlys, represented by Mr T. W. Grif- fiths, owed £ 38. He is 47 years of age, a collier, and earns an average of 30s. a week. His wife had had 16 children. He offered to pay his debts in full at the rate of 12s. per month.—Granted. William John Thos. Jenkins, 5 Gam- blyn Terrace, Hirwain, represented by Mr Edmund R. Evans, applied for an administration order. He owed t45 and offered to pay in full at 13s. per month. He said he earned 22s. 4d. a week.—His Honour adjourned the case for two months to ascertain whether the applicant earned more money, the amount being too small to grant the order.
Hirwain Burning Fatalitiy.-Case…
Hirwain Burning Fatalitiy.-Case Withdrawn. The case of John and Elizabeth Wil- liams, 40 Regent Street, Aberaman, against Howard Morgan, Brynheulog, Hirwain, came up for consideration. The original action was heard before His Honour and a jury three months ago, when the jury disagreed. The claim was one for damages in respect of the death of plaintiff's daughter, who was in the employ of defendant as a domestic servant, and died from burns. Mr W. R. Edmunds, who appeared for the plaintiffs, made a request to His Honour to give time for the parties to consider terms of settlement. Mr. Edmunds later announced that with His Honour's permission the case would he withdrawn as the parties had settled. The case was accordingly withdrawn. Mr A. T. James, instructed hv Messrs. Lyndon Moore and Cooper, appeared for a third party, the Hearts of Oak Insur- ance Society.
