RUTHIN.

Judgment was given against John Garner, joiner and builder, for 93 odd, and the execution was put in, when the furniture, &c., was claimed by Mrs Garner and her brother, on the ground that it had been left to them by their father, who died in 1888. In cross-examina- tion the execution debtor, John Garner, ad- mitted that he was an undischarged bank- rupt, and that he had incurred debts in that neighbourhood. Mr A. O. Evans repre- sented the plaintiffs, and Mr Fred LI. Jones the execution creditors. For the defence, Mr Jones contended that the claim was a bogus one, brought by Mts Garner to shield her husband. Judgment was given for the execution creditors. THE RECENT CONSERVATIVE VICTORY.—A well attended gathering of Conservatives was held in the Unionist Club on Tuesday evening, Mr E. O. V. Lloyd presiding. Speeches of a congratiuatory character were delivered by the Chairman and by Major S. G. Ellis, who were suc- cessful in winning the representation of the borough on the County Council from the Liberals.-The Chairman said signs of a revolt against the dominant party in Wales were to be seen in Denbighshire, where the Unionists had plucked up courage to meet the enemy. He observed the least signs of the reaction in Merioneth, where the Unionists seemed to have been cowed by the Radlcajl ascendancy. He suggested that Major Ellis, after his victory, would not have a bad chance, even if he aspired to enter Parliament, although they had now a very good candidate for the boroughs in Mr Tudor Howell. With regard to Mr Kenyon, M.P., he trusted the Unionists of the Denbigh Boroughs would carry out in a thorough manner the project of presenting to him on his retirement a. substantial mark of the respect entertained for him by the party throughout the constituency (loud applause). -Major Ellis thanked the Conservative and Unionist party for the share they had taken in his election. He believed the county was tired of tihe mismanagement which had been going on in its affairs owing to the manner in which one particular party and one particular sect had dominated in the Council. He went on to refer to general politics, and claimed for the Unionist party that they were anxious to turn their atten- tion to questions of trade and commerce, and matters affecting the material welfare of the workers in this country.
