The Infants' Concert.
The Infants' Concert. At the annual concert, by the Infants, given in the Boys' Schoolroom, on Wednesday evening, in aid of the Schools, the programme opened with a pianoforte solo, Marche aux Flambeaux," by Miss Polly Jones (Castle-street), who well sus- tained the difficult position of accompanist throughout. This prefaced an admirable presi- dential speech by Master Edward Goodman Jones, who made an excellent chairman. Then followed an action-song "The Invitation," by the Babies, the principal parts being capitally taken by the Misses Elizabeth Ellen Jones, Blanche Jones, Amelia Jones, Edith M. Evans, Maggie Wynne, and Elizabeth Ellen Williams. The next items were a recitation "Boys-Wanted," very nicely executed by Master John W. Richard Roberts a song, The Trap in the Wall," given charmingly in unison by the Infants and a very amusing dialogue, Don't (some very good advice was given, by the way), by Masters T. Smith and J. Griffiths. Equally amusing was The Lazy Boy," a song and chorus, of which the solo was rendered with commendable taste and distinctness by Master Sydney Petch. A much-relished item was a Welsh recitation, "Gwialen Fedw Gasa," feelingly given by Miss Maggie Jones. In the next item, an action-song (" Only a Baby Small ") sweetly sung by the Infants, the principal part was taken by Miss Ida Allan. The Babies now made another very suc- cessful appearance in the recitation "What we come to School for." Owing to the unfortunate indisposition of Miss Selina Foulkes, the solo of the Welsh song Myfi sy'n Magu'r Baban," had to be taken by her understudy, Miss Florence M. J ones, who, as well as those comprising the chorus, sang most feelingly, and, it may be added, Miss Jones's voice was noticeably sweet-toned. A recitation, "My Little White Kitten" was then interpreted pleasingly by Miss Ida Allan, and next followed the" Jolly Little Clacker," a song ren- dered with much go by the Infants. But rare enthusiasm was aroused by the performance (including the comic song So early in the Morn- ing") of the Conway Castle Christys (Masters Tom Craven, John Griffiths, William Williams, Richatd Annaby, Owen Jones, Hugh Edwards, William Roberts Jones, David Thomas Jones, Samuel Parry, Thomas Jones, and Hugh Parry). An encore was insisted upon, and the piece Master Tom Craven chose to be given by his troupe was Way down the Suwannee River," and this was performed in a manner which was deservedly much appreciated. The first part of the programme closed with a very picturesque Scarf-and-Circle Drill, in which the Infants seemed quite in their element, keeping step wonderfully whilst the accompaniments were being played. Those performing the Scarf-and-Circle Drill were the Misses F. Braggins, S. Foulkes, Mary Rob- erts, N. Roberts, M. Dougall, F. M. Jones, M. Jones, A. Jones, J. Williams, M. L. Brown, Edith Lewtas, A. Hughes, Maggie Davies, C. Walker, Ida Allan, and Gladys Evans. After a brief interval, Miss Sarah Edwards (Tyn-y-Fynwent) played with commendable taste the pianoforte solo Merry Vintage March." Then followed a song, Welcome, Little Robin," by the Infants, and a recitation, Kitty," given, with suitable gestures, by Miss Connie Walker. The action-song I am so very small," was next given by the Babies, Master Robert Trevor recited nicely "A Grevous Complaint," Nelly's Dolly" was pleasingly rendered by Miss Madge Dougall and Party, and Master Arthur Kent aroused much amusement and appreciation by reciting a plea for ',Boys' Rights." Winter, Summer, Autumn, and Spring, were charmingly impersonated by Miss Florence M. Jones, Miss Ida Allan, Miss Maggie Davies, and Miss Gladys Evans, who each bore a bouquet of flowers representative of her own season, and who sung appropriate words. The dialogue Talking Properly," by Miss Maggie Jones and Miss M. Dougall, was splen- didly given, and the audience would not be satis- fied without a repetition. A medley of Nursery Rhymes (" Hey Diddle Diddle, The Cat and the Fiddle," etc., forming the chorus), was sung by the Infants, and Miss Minnie Green recited, with good effect, "Kindness to Others." In the action- song The Burlesque Band," Miss Ida Allan admirably led the Infants, and in the Welsh rec- itation (11 Cartref y Plant") which followed, Miss Agnes Jones appeared to great advantage and thoroughly self-possessed. After the Infants had then sung The Drummer Boy," the Conway Castle Christys wound up the programme with another capital song My Old Kentucky Home," which was much applauded. As the evening was now far advanced, the proceedings closed at once with the singing of God Bless the Prince of Wales, the moving of certain votes of thanks being post- poned till the close of the concert's repetition performance on the following evening. It is understood that the Managers feel greatly indebted to the parents and teachers (more espec- ially Mrs Allan, Miss Roberts, and Miss Rees) for the hearty way in which they all co-operated to make the concert so great a success as it undoubt- edly was. Plants and flowers, for decorating the front of the stage, were, with his usual kindness, lent, by Mr Albert Wood, J.P., from the conser- vatories at Bodlondeb.
Vale of Conway Fishery Board.
Vale of Conway Fishery Board. On Thursday, November 22nd, a meeting of the Vale of Conway Fishery Board was held at Llanrwst, Mr John Blackwall, J.P., presiding. There were also present:—Mr Isgoed Jones, J.P.; Dr R. Arthur-Prichard, J.P., Mayor of Conway; Rev J. Spinther James, M.A., Llandudno; Mr Evans-Jones, Trefriw; Mr David Jones, Llanrwst; with the Clerk (Mr Charles Allard). THE DAY OF THE MEETINGS. Some conversation ensued, introduced by Dr Prichard, relative to the inconvenience of the days of meeting, the dates usually falling on the same day as the meetings connected with the Carnar- vonshire and Denbighshire County Councils. He gave notice to move that the Clerk be requested to communicate with the Clerks to the County Councils and that steps be taken to fix the Fishery Board's meetings on a day most convenient for all the members to attend. FISHERMEN'S LICENSES. Mr David Jones called attention to what he considered the unfairness of raising the prices of fishermen's licenses from £$to £ 5, when the men had no voice in the matter, whereas he had found out from another gentleman that the men were now entitled to have two members at that Board. The Rev J. S. James argued that it was not the fault of the Board that the men had no representa- tive there. Mr D. Jones I disagree with that view. The Chairman said he should like nothing better than to see two fishermen on the Board. He considered that no Board either in England or Wales had such a remarkable scale for licenses. Dr Prichard, as representing the Conway fisher- men, was sure that if there was any blame for the men not being represented, it did not rest with the Board. Mr D. Jones moved that two licensees other than those holding rod-and-line licenses, have seats at that Board. Mr Isgoed Jones said that he had been a member of that Board six years, and he was not aware that the fishermen had a right to be directly represented. With regard to the licenses, he supported the medium of £$being charged, but there' was a majority for ;"5. He fully endorsed what Mr David Jones had said as to freeing the river. As far as the rod-and-line licenses were concerned, the river could not be freed; but the tree tickets had been greatly increased. Dr Prichard asked that the minutes should be looked up. On this being done, it was found that himself and the Chairman supported the -1-4 license, and the other members present, including Mr Isgoed Jones, the £5 recommendation of the Committee [Laughter] which was carried. After further discussion, the resolution was carried, and the Clerk was appointed Returning Officer to conduct the election. FACILITATING MATTERS. On the motion of the Rev J. S. James, seconded by Dr Prichard, it was resolved that special orders be given to the water-bailiffs to enter private property by the river-side in the execution of their duty, and that the owners be written to, asking them to facilitate matters in every way in that direction.
Conway and Llandudno County…
Conway and Llandudno County Court. CONWAY, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND.—Before His Honour Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd. A COLWYN BAY INTERPLEADER ACTION. F. H. Merridew and Co., jewellers, Colwyn Bay, were the claimants in an interpleader issue against Edward Foulkes, builder, Colwyn Bay. The claimant was represented by Dr A. Thomas, barrister, Liverpool, instructed by M F. Nunn, Colwyn Bay. Mr James Porter (Messrs William Jones, Porter, & Amphlett, Conway and Colwyn Bay) was for Edward Foulkes.-Dr Thomas said that the case had been remitted to that Court from the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, and arose out of an execution which had been put in, upon the preW" ises where the claimant carried on business a Colwyn Bay, at the suit of Edward Foulkes, to enforce a judgment recovered against Arthur Merridew, who was the father ot the claitnan ■ It appeared that in 1892 the original judgmel1 had been obtained in an action for specific per, formance, and execution had been levied. As soon as the execution, which was now being dis- puted, was levied, the claimant gave notice tha he claimed the goods upon which execution ha been levied, with certain exceptions. There ha been an affidavit in support of that claim filed I the Chancery Division. The claimant claiMe, the whole of the cycling and watchmaking busi- ness, and the household furniture. Arthur Merrl; dew had no interest in the estate whatever three pictures and a breech-loader were the pr0 perty of the original defendant. Those ha realised a few shillings at the sale. A sale ha been held all those goods had been sold, a'1 had realised £ 330. The question that His ^°n* our had to try was to whom that sum of belonged. In 1884 Arthur Merridew had carj'j0 on business at Rhyl as jeweller. The son used assist him, but the father got into financia difficulties, through speculating in bujiditig- Executions had been put in, and Mr R. D. R° erts, Rhyl, paid out various executions, atl, under an arrangement with A. Merridew, ha sold the whole ot the effects of A. Merridew, an Ihere was a few pounds balance after paying executions. F. H. Merridew had, by tbe help ° Mr R. D. Roberts, set up in business for hlmse He had left Rhyl and had gone to Carnarvo from there he had gone to Holyhead, thence to Colwyn Bay. He had opened business a Merridew and Co., but the business was his sole y> and he had taken the tenancy of the house \r0.ff the man who had taken it from the P^al0he Foulkes. He had allowed his father to sign name of the firm on cheques for the purpose paying accounts, when he was not present; 0 the business had been carried on by the son as 111.5 own.—F. H. Merridew gave corroborative eVl dence, and certain accounts and receipts vere produced made out in the name of F. Merride%v- His father had not paid any accounts out of his own money. He paid his father £20 a ye.ar, beside providing board and lodging for h" Immediately prior to the present execution t"e had been another, which he had paid under Pr test, stating that the goods were his.-BY I Porter: He had paid the accouut out by cheq° > which had been signed by his father, but he (t witness) initialled it. He had taken the house from Mr Atkinson at Colwyn Bay, but he had n seen Mr Atkinson. His father had seen j Atkinson first; but he (the witness) had taken house by letter. It was not a fact that Atkinson had come to the shop tor rent, and t the witness had referred him to his father. father had paid the rent bv cheque when he v in the shop.—Mr Porter Have you ever paid Collector of Poor Rates a single penny since y have been there ? I don't think I paid it direct. Whose name was on the rate book in 1893 • H. Merridew.—Did you send to see whose na was on ? Yes I sent my father in to see w t they had done.—Why did you do that ?

I dont knOWthe ( Don't you know that both names are down on J list ? No. Proceeding, the witness said that < was 34 years of age. There was a notice on « window of the.shop stating that the business been established in 1857. Those letters had put up at his instance. He had had not'1'n^?!ier r with the purchasing of the premises his .t.e had done that.—Mr Porter Since this action* cards have been shuffled again. Who 's owner of the business now ?—The Witness Merridew, my mother.—The Judge So you a e not the owner ? Since when has she bec°^ owner ?—The Witness Since the sale.—A* Merridew said that at not one of the shops Carnarvon, Holyhead, or Colwyn Bay, waStt,e tenant.—J. H. Atkinson said that he was owner of the shop in which the business was do He regarded the father as the tenant. He asked the sons for the rent, but they had allvly referred him to the father. As a matter of fact, the son had nothing to do with him (the witnes He was under the impression that F. H. Merrjd was the name of the person who had called UP him, and that he was the father, and not the s —Thomas Jones, Poor Rate Collector, C0 Bay, gave evidence that since 1891 he collected rates on the premises. Mr Merride sen., always paid him.* In 1893, the name he jj « in the book was A. Merridew and Co. He copied the altered name from the books of Local Board. In 1891, Merridew, sen., called to see him, and had told him that the na should be A. Merridew and F. H. MerrideW After further evidedce had been given, to James Porter said that that was an attempt defeat a creditor in a way that was a fraud an dishonesty. From the first to the last of the P' ceedings, it had been proved beyond doubt -d that man A. W. Merridew had in fact traded 1- had held himself out to the public, sheltering self so far as he could behind the name of 0 Merridew and Co. Those people had come Colwyn Bay; both had power to sign c'ieClUh £ ld both did sign cheques, but Merridew, se0* cll- signed most of the cheques. Some of the do ments produced in the case, he would say» been manufactured for the purpose of those P ceedings.—Dr Thomas, replying, said that n°rQf, single creditor of the firm had been brought ward that day to say that he had been decelA,at as to who was responsible for the debts, or there had been an attempt to pass off F. H- A. W. Merridew. Foulkes had made the arra? ment with his eyes open, with A. W. Merr^' nofl and the execution should have been made ^P the goods of the father, and not, as had been t*CrjjS upon the premises of F. W. Merridew." je Honour said that the question he had to dec was to whom did the furniture and stock-in-ti"a^ belong on the day of seizure. There wa^j:eil doubt that the stock-in-trade had been supp by the sellers to someone of the name of !*• at Merridew. The question then was who was person.—His Honour found that, although circumstances of the case were suspicious, evidence was not strong enough for him to arrlde at the conclusion that the claimant had not m out his title to the goods. Judgment therefore be entered for the claimant but as execution creditor was fully justified in hav be the matter investigated, the claimant ir,uS' 0f content with a bare victory. The condu^ father and son was doubtful, and the claim besides being deprived ot his costs, must pay hearing and possession fees.
