AN IRONMONGER'S CLAIM AGAINST…
AN IRONMONGER'S CLAIM AGAINST THE OFFICIAL RECEIVER. CAUSTIC OBSERVATION BY THE JUDGE. At the Ruthin Assizes on Saturday, before Mr. Justice Wills, sitting without a jury, an action was brought by Edward Story Jones, trading as Messrs. Roberts and Jones, ironmongers, Colwyn Bay, against Llewelyn Hugh Jones, Official Receiver in Bankruptcy, for the detention of a brickmaking machine which had been seized by the defendant in the bankruptcy of Edward Arthur Evans, and which the plaintiff claims as his own. Mr. S. Moss, M.P., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ellis Griffith, M.P., for the defendant. In opening the case, Mr. Moss said the de- fendant in his pleadings said he had not detained the machine, because it belonged to the bankrupt at the commencement of his bankruptcy in 1902, and that he (defendant) simply took possession of the machine as trustee in bankruptcy. The facts of the case were briefly these. The plaintiff was an ironmonger carrying on an extensive business in Colwyn Bay under the trade name of Messrs. Roberts and Jones. The bankrupt, Edward Arthur Evans, in 1899 purchased some land in Holywell. On this land machinery was put, with which Evans began to make bricks, with which he built some houses. In 1900 Evans, who was a builder, sold the land to a man named Dearden, who subsequently became a bankrupt, the machinery, including the machine in dispute, re- maining on the land. Evans had had business dealings with Messrs. Roberts and Jones, who had also made temporary advances to him. At the time of Dearden's bankruptcy Evans owed the plaintiff's firm ^200, for the payment of which he had several times been pressed. About the 20th of June, 1901, Evans saw Mr. Roberts, the plaintiff's partner, and mentioned the fact that a sale would shortly take place under Dearden's bankruptcy, and that there was a brick-making machine worth L700 likely to go for an old song. Evans had a mortgage on the field as security from Dearden, and took possession. In the con- versation with Mr. Roberts Evans said he would like to have the machine, suggesting at the same time that the firm should assist him in buying it, to which Roberts replied that it could not be done unless Evans cleared the account then owing. On the morning of the sale-June 26, 1901,—Jcnes met Evans. After a conversation Jones bought the machine for £140, which with stone steps and window sills, also bought by Jones, made the total amount of the purchases L143 4s. After the sale Evans sent Messrs. Roberts and Jones a cheque for ^143 10s. to meet the account previously owing by him, after making certain deductions for re- turned crates, kegs, &c. This cheque, said Mr. Moss, had nothing whatever to do with the machine or the purchase money thereof. It was sent to settle the account due to Messrs. Roberts and Jones before the sale, for which pressure for payment had been made. The plaintiff at once offered the machine to several people, and there could be no doubt whatever that the owner- ship of Messrs. Roberts and Jones in the machine was never challenged until Evans became a bank- rupt on the 30th of October, 1902-a period of sixteen or seventeen months after the purchase of the machine at the sale. The machine, how- ever, had been claimed by the defendant as the property of Evans. A bankruptcy motion was served on the plaintiff by the defendant on the ]9'h February, and in that notice of motion the defendant said the court would be moved for an order declaring that the brick-making machine was purchased by the plaintiff on behalf of the bankrupt. The plaintiff opposed the motion before the county court judge on the ground that he was entitled to trial by jury. That was why he (the plaintiff) was before his Lordship that day, although a jury had been dispensed with. The plaintiff said that in consequence of a letter or telegram received from Evans on the morning of the 26th June, 1901, he went to Mostyn to attend the sale on Dearden's brickyard. Evans asked him would he buy the brick-making machine, but he replied he could not do so unless Evans paid to his firm the amount then owing. Evans then said the machine would be cheap at £ 200, and that if he (the plaintiff) bought it Evans would like to have the chance of taking it over again. The witness bought the machine for L'40, and promised to give Evans the chance of purchasing it from him. Some time after this he offered the machine to several firms and indivi- duals, including Messrs Alexander & Co., Leeds Mr George Allan, Glasgow Mr Book, of Colwyn Bay and Mr R. G. Jones, of Denbigh. He was in negotiation with the last-named, who acted on behalf of a syndicate, in October, 1902, and it was after that date that Evans became bankrupt, and the machine claimed by the Official Receiver. At e the time Evans became bankrupt the machine belonged to him (the plaintiff), and was not in any sense the property of the bankrupt. Edward Arthur Evans, living at Penrhyn Bay, Llandudno, said he was now a working joiner. In 1899 he started as a builder and contractor at Ffynongroew, and subsequently at Connah's Quay. At the latter place he lodged with and left his papers at the house of one Samuel Wil- liams, who had since become bankrupt. His Lordship: We are in an atmosphere of bankruptcy.—[Laughter.] The witness, proceeding, said the machine in question was not bought for him in the sense of being his property. ? Mr Moss Was the machine ever yours .-No, certainly not. What was your lability when you were adjudged a bankrupt.—About £60. And this machine is worth £ 4°° or »5°° ?— Yes. If the machine had become yours by the pur- chase at the sale you would not have been bank- rupt now.—No. Evidence was given also by Robert Jones, Ffynnongroew, and Edward Evans, Penrhyn Bay, Llandudno. Both had heard the conversation be- tween the plaintiff and the bankrupt (Evans) before the sale at Dearden's brickworks. Jones (plaintiff) bought the machine after Evans had promised to pay the account due from him to Messrs Roberts & Jones, and to give him (Evans) a chance of re- buying it, or, if it were sold to another customer, that Evans should have a present for introducing business. The witness Edward Evans, in reply to Mr Ellis Griffith, said that another son of his—Redfern Evans-had become bankrupt. His Lordship Everybody appears to have become bankrupt in connection with this case on both sides, except the Official Receiver.— Laughter.] Mr Moss And my client, my lord. Further evidence was then given by Mr Croy- don, accountant, Colwyn Bay, and Mr A. O. Evans (Mayor of Denbigh), the latter stating that in October last a syndicate with which he was connected was negotiating with Messrs Roberts & Jones for the purchase of the machine. These negotiations were carried on before there was any mention of the bankruptcy of Edward Arthur Evans. At this stage the Court was adjourned until Monday.
THE SECOND DAY'S HEARING.
THE SECOND DAY'S HEARING. JUDGMENT TO BE GIVEN IN LONDON. Mr Justice Wills continued the hearing of the action on Monday. After several witnesses had given evidence in support of the plaintiff's case, supplementing that given on Saturday, Mr Griffiths opened the case for the defence. First of all they contended that the machine in dispute was Evans's machine, and, secondly, that even if it were not it was in his order and disposi- tion. The bankrupt Evans bought the land upon which the machine was ultimately put. Upon that land Evans erected eight cottages, which ultimately got into the hands of Robert Jones, who sold the land to Evans. In the course of time Evans sold the remaining portion of the land to a man named Dearden for £ 1059, making1 a profit on the transaction of L400 more or less. Evans afterwards took a mortgage for the whole sum of £ 1059 from Dearden. The latter imme- diately afterwards put a considerable amount of machinery on the land. In the mortgage there was a clause that all the property attached to the freehold should bo part of the security to Evans. Ultimately Dearden came to griet. A sale of Dearden's property took place, and it was at this sale that the business which the Court was now investigating began. Admitting that Evans was anxious to buy Dearden's property, that he made bricks, and that the machine would be a bargain at £ 200, one must inevitably come to other con- clusions. Although the Evans family had been unfortunate, it was not likely that a man like Evans would willingly let a bargain like the brick-making machine go by. Neither Messrs Roberts & Jones nor Evans himself knew exactly Evans's indebtedness to them, but this was known, that Evans had taken precautions in the bank to have his account in such a way as to enable him to draw a considerable sum of money. As a matter of fact a sum of £200 had been paid to his account immediately before this by Samuel Wil- liams, and of course £ 200 in connection with this matter was a very interesting amount, because Evans stated to Messrs Roberts & Jones that the machine in dispute would be cheap at £200. How- ever, knowing his indebtedness towards Roberts & Jones, and, knowing that he was anxious to secure the machine, he deliberately wrote to Messrs Roberts & Jones the night betore the sale asking them to meet him on the ground the fol- lowing day. The story put forward by Evans was this—"I will pay you LJ43 to cover my indebtedness to you, and you can then buy this machine, which is worth hundreds of pounds." That, according to the case for the plaintiff, was the substance of what took place between him and Evans. But (asked Mr Griffiths) was that a likely story ? His Lordship Taking your view of the matter, what would Roberts and Jones get out of it if they had to find the money? Mr Griffiths said the plaintiff might not be a philanthropist, and no doubt would be anxious to speculate in a matter of this kind. He was well aware of Evans's knowledge of brick-making, and by buying the machine for him resolved no doubt that that would be the best way of seeing him through and getting his money out of him. Another important part in the case was this. The plaintiff had signed a statement to the Assistant Official Receiver. In that statement he said, I bought the machine on behalf of Evans." More- over, in the pubiic examination of Evans, the plaintiff stated in reply to questions that he did not intend to buy anything when he went to the sale, and that he wanted nothing. He even went there without his cheque-book. One curious and significant incident in connection with the case was that Evans signed a cheque for £ 143 105 payable to Messrs Roberts & Jones, which was practically the amount for which the machine was bought by the plaintiff. Another remarkable thing in connection with the matter was that notwithstanding the position of Evans, and that he subsequently became bankrupt, no mention was made by Messrs Roberts & Jones to anybody that they and not the bankrupt were the owners of the machine, and it was strange also that there was no press copy of the account sent to Evans by Messrs Roberts & Jones before the purchase of the machine, because that was a most important document, and one that would have thrown light on the whole matter. Concluding his remarks, Mr Griffith said there could be not the slightest doubt that the machine belonged to Evans. Evidence was then given by the defendant (Mr LI. Hugh Jones). He dealt mostly with bills and cheques which had passed between Messrs Roberts & Jones and Evans. The papers left by the latter threw no light whatever on the transactions between the parties. Cross-exam- ined, he said he disbelieved the story put forward by the plaintiff, because in his private examination the plaintiff stated that he was buying the machine on behalf of Evans. Mr Moss: Although he said that, is it not a fact also that in the same statement he asserts over and over again that the machine was his. The witness: Yes, that is so. Replying to another question, the witness said In this bankruptcy no assets whatever are disclosed, and if it is to be a matter of reflection upon official receivers that they accept the indemnity of creditors, the worse the bankruptcy the less chance of investigation. A number of witnesses were then called to prove that Evans had- given instructions with regard to the Putting up of the machine.. His Lordship reserved judgment, which will be delivered in London.

The Pwllycrochan Woods.
The Pwllycrochan Woods. To THE EDITOR OF THE Weekly News. Many a time On holidays, we wandered through the woods We sate, we walked he pleased me with report Of things he had seen."— Wordsivorth. Our purchase of these Woods will secure the perpetuity of our two climates. The wealth of early flowers, the luxuriant growth of rare shrubs, trees and plant life in every garden is due to the complete shelter derived from the Woods. We should possess a mature park and real winter gardens, with its miles of walks and ex- quisite dingles crossed by numerous rustic bridges (for these could be added with little expense). Only small portions of the dells have been seen hitherto, so their wondrous beauty would be revealed throughout, recalling the poetic lines My heart is awed within me when I think Of the great miracle which still goes on In silence around me, the perpetual Work of Thy creation.—Finished yet renewed For ever. We should ensure the patronage of large sec- tions of holiday seekers from all parts, who find it so difficult in these days to secure a quiet retreat, free from the noisy, restless crowds of seaside resorts. Who can say how many wealthy clients are waiting to take up land immediately, surrounding the Woods, below and above, so soon as they know the entire Woods belong to our town. It would be a fatal error to loose the parts between the Four Cross Roads and Dingle, be- cause, being nearest the part of our town which is advancing so rapidly, and to which several new roads now forming would be a near approach for its residents and these comparatively level parts would be highly valuable to the public generally. It is said the new road now being cut through the Woods where, as Mrs Browning says, Never Blackbirds, never Thrushes, nor small Finches sing as sweet," will be no deterrent to the purchase we contemplate. But it requires no imaginative mind to determine the future effects of exposing the shady depths of two charming dingles to extreme elements in summer and devastating currents of wind in winter or to observe the indelible traces of injury by "filling- in" deep crossings with wide banks of earth, and broad slopes along a road that will take years for nature to clothe. While admitting the folly of criticising the methods of great Companies," it may be affirmed that a tramway would have served every purpose far better and left all trees undis- turbed when- Thus in their stations lifting towards the sky The foliaged head in cloud-like majesty, The shadow casting race of Trees survive Thus in the train of Spring arrive sweet flowers What living age hath viewed Their myriads ?—endlessly renewed,— Wordsworth. Some say we should not consent to buy the Woods e xcept for a reasonable price. I would again remind such of Colwyn Bay's indebtedness to the Woods for its existence and their own prosperity. No other project has a prior claim. We are on the verge of an epoch that will de- termine the prosperity or decline of our town, by two powerful factors, the Estate Company and Railway Company. The latter has done nothing for 11s, all the years our district has grown by the influence of the former. Now, both these great powers are making important moves. When the two big railway stations are made, great number of short date excursionists may be poured upon us. True, we can accommodate them on the extensive Pro- menade we are making, but we derive little benefit from them, whilst that of our boarding houses and places of worship will be nil. Therefore, we should be all united and urgent to deal liberally with the Estate Company to secure the entire Woods, which is the very heart and centre of Colwyn Bay, and the only acquire- ment that will place us in the front rank of resorts in the kingdom, and secure the prospect of a rapidly increased number of permanent residents, so necessary for us now we are replete with shops, apartment houses, and places of worship for many years to come, all needing more support than is exacted from the fleeting tripper. In this our crisis (for such it is, if we look at illfated Morcambe and other places) may we have the assurance that those we awakened from their long century's sleep to join in our prosperity will now help us and them in securing its un- bounded continuance, and the Fair scenes for childhood's opening bloom, For sportive youth to stray in For manhood to enjoy his strength And age to wear away in." We cannot afford, in this competitive age, not to give access to what has been denied in the past to thousands of our patrons. Nature has given us bountifully what tired workers are seek- ing for. Health i I seek thee, dost thou love The mountain top or quiet vale, Or deign o er humbler hills to rove On showery June's dark south west gale If so, I'll meet all blasts that blow, With silent step but not forlorn Though goddess at thy shrine I bow, And woo thee each returning morn. I seek thee where with all his might The joyous bird his rapture tells Admidst the half excluded light That gilds the foxgloves pendant bells Where cheenly up this bold hill's side The deepening grooves triumphant climb In groves, Delight and Peace abide, And Wisdom marks the lapse of time. « Sweet Health I seek thee hither bring Thy balm that softens human ills Cot-ne, on the long drawn clouds that fling Their shadows o'er our leaty hills. Of Cambrian mountains still I dream, And mouldering vestiges of war By time-worn cliff or classic stream W ou rove, but prudence holds a bar. Come then 0 Health I'll strive to bound My wishes to this airy stand 'Tis not for me to trace around The wonders of my native land." With apology for trespassing on your'sfafe, I am, &C. OBSERVER.
