Rhyl County Court. FRiDAY-Before his Honour Judge Hit Horatio Lloyd and Mr Registrar George. Pier Aooldent. Mr F J Gamlin referred to the case of War- hurst v Monk & Co, in which his clients claimed 252 for damages sustained through de- fendants unskilfully navigating a steamer, which struck their pier. Defendants paid the debt and costs endorsed on the summons within the stipulated ten days. The money was in fact paid to one of his (Mr Gamlin's) clerks at his office, in his absence. Now he applied for any costs which might have accrued in getting up the case for plaintiffs other than those endorsed on the summons, such costs to be taxed by the Registrar. —The application was granted. Strange I Mr Gamlin next referred to the case of Clarke. Collis. His client, he said was a fruiterer carrying on business in the town o and the defendant was a man who resided; somewhere in the Cheadle County Court dis- trict. Judgment was obtained against defendant a long time ago, and since then two j udgment summonses had been issued against him, but both had been returned. He believed defen- dant was in good circumstances and a man of means. He did not suggest that the bailiff of the district in which he was living had been receiving tips or anything of that kind to accommodate defendant, but it was very strange that a judgment summons should be twica returned. Moreover, the bailiff had not taken the trouble to notify this court whether he had served the summons or not. Under the circumstances he asked that the high bailiff of the foreign court should be asked to show cause why he should not pay the cØBtl" of plaintiff's attendance in court.—The request was granted. Solicitor and his Client. Mr Cooper, of Cooper's Hotel, East Parade, was sued by Mr F J Gamlin for R6 118 3d for professional services rendered in connection with a bill of costs duly delivered and signed in June, 1904.—Mr Gamlin said that the previous day defendant offered 95 in settlement, but he declined to accept it. Now he had asked the Registrar to make an order allowing him twelve months' time in which to pay, but the Registrar had vory properly refused to comply Bennett a it t;, -ft-- t" with such a request. The major portion of the work in question was done two years ago. He asked for R.5 down and the balance in a month. The total bill came to zell lis od, and some time ago defendant paid R5 on account. Defendant --I paid that £5 on condition that you waited till next year for the balance. There are items in your bill which I dispute. 1 don't wish to quarrel with Alr Gamlin, because for one thing he is my landlord's lawyer as well as my own. The Judge, having examined the bill, said 9 1:1 he was satisfied that the money claimed was owing, and there would be judgment for JE5 forthwith and the balance in two months. Pony Hiring Dispute. James J Mahon, ship and insurance broker, Mersey Chambers, Liverpool, was sued by Jane Jones, widow, Golden Grove, Pensarn, in respect to the hire of a pony and trap for a month. Mr E A Crabbe appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Gamlin defended. Plaintiff's view of the case was that the pony and trap were let to defendant at the rate of £2 per week. On August 18th last, the month having expired, defendant called at plaintiff's house and handed to a little girl R2, with 2s 6d for the boy who had been looking after the pony. He left without a receipt, but was called back as soon as plaintiff knew what had taken place. Plaintiff then told him there appeared to be a mistake, but he refused to accept her contention that the pony and trap were let to him at £ 2 per week. With the view of squaring matters defendant offered 7s fid in addition to the £2. but plaintiff refused to take it. Defendant then asked for a receipt for the JE2, and just as one of plaintiff's daughters was going to make one out ho produced a piece of paper and said it would be sufficient if she signed it, which she did. Lpon the receipt being produced in court plaintiff denied that the stamp upon it beside her signature was there when she wrote her name. Cross-examined, plaintiff did not think defendant was such a rogue as to try to cheat her out of £6 when she signed the paper. Mr Gamlin—Do you believe he is a rogue now ?—No. By Mr Crabbe-He tricked me into signing that receipt. He did not let me see what was on it. Evidence having been given by three of plaintiff's six children, Mr Gamlin said the case wau defended on » principle. His client would tell the court that I it was distinctly arranged that the hire was to be £2 for the month. The pony only cost 26, and the car only cost £ 8 three or four years ago. 80 that according to plaintiff's reckoning defendant:would have bought the whole concern out and out in a month, allowing for deteriora- tion. The Judge--He would have had to keep the pony. Mr Crabbe -Defenda.nt had this pony and trap during the:creaiii of the season. Mr Gamlin—In Rhyl you can get a horse of 15 or 16 hands for 168 per week. Mr Crabbe- Goodness Mr Gamlin—That is my experience. For £ 1 8s per week you will get a horse and trap, a really smart turnout, at any time in Rhyl. Defendant, in the course of his evidence, said that had he been asked £2 per week he would certainly have declined at once to take the pony and trap. He stoutly maintained the agreement was for £2 for the month. It was not true that he concealed what he had written on the receipt while plaintiff signed it. There was a stamp on the paper at the time, and he could not say why plaintiff did not write her name^over it instead of at the side. The Judge said he would hesitate on the evidence before him to say that either party had deliberately tried to deceive the other. He did not think defendant deserved the insinu- ations that had been made against him. At the same time he regarded plaintiff as a honest, respectable woman. His view was that both parties were mistaken. A month's hire for E2 seemed to him unreasonable, as it would cost that pretty well to keep a pony. On the other hand he thought JE2 per week a little high. He would give judgement for plaintiff for E4 4s, including the amount already paid, with costs. House Letting Case. Mary E Duffy, married woman, 248 Upper Parliament Street, Liverpool, was sued by Mary Cox, spinster, late of Edmonds- ley House, Prestatyn, and now of Caergwrle, in respect to a subletting of Edmondsley House. Mr Gamlin, who appeared for plaintiff, said that on Oct 7, 1904, defendant called upon plaintiff at Prestatyn and agreed to take her house at an annual rental of E:"3, the tenancy to commence on Nov 1st and to terminate on May 1 following, the date on which plaintiff's tenancy would terminate. Defendant entered into an agreement to pay the half year's rent, but she never took possession at all and had paid no rent. Plaintiff waited until May 1st, although she could have let the house two or three times over, had she not been bound by the agreement. Defendant's only plea was that she was a poor woman, but The Judge reminded her that that did not exonerate her from the responsibility she had, incurred. There must; be judgment for plaintiff. Unsuccessful Plea of Infancy. Madge Rowlands, late of Borthyn Terrace, and Blodwen Rowlands, her sister, were sued by W S Williams & Co., drapers, Central Buildings, in respect to goods supplied. Mr Rowlands (from Mr J Pierce Lewis' office) appeared for the plaintiffs, and dealing first with the claim against Madge Rowlands, said he understood they were met with a special defence pleading infancy. They had not been notified on that point, and had given notice for the production of the birth certificate. Peter Williams, plaintiffs' manager, gave evidence as to the transactions with defendants, and said that their mother gave him to under- stand that they were to pay for themselves, she being only responsible for her own and the younger children's things. Mr Joseph Lloyd, for the defence, said his instructions were that both defendants were infants at home at the time, earning no wages at all. He had the birth certificate called for by plaintiffs, and it showed that Madge Rowlands was under age. The Judge said it was unfortunate for both sides, but he would have to give judgment for plaintiffs,—against Madge Jones for JE3 6s, and against her sister for P3 os 8d-payable in monthly instalments of 5s. Running Down Cass. The prospect of a start being made with what was described as a running down case- the sequel to a collision between a carriage and a motor, the alleged result of which was that a horse attached to the carriage had to be destroyed, while the motor car also fared very badly—being so very remote, Mr Lloyd, the solicitor for one of the parties, asked his Honour to release the witnesses from further attendance that day, and suggested that the case be taken at the St Asaph court next month. His Honour readily assented to that course, and said that perhaps on the morning of that day he would pay a visit to the scene of the accident. Mr Cuthbert Smith, the barrister engaged on the other side, said he would be pleased to con- vey his Honour there by motor car. Mr Lloyd As I am interested in the motor car in this case, you had better take him in a carriage and leave the motor car to me.

Foryd Harbour Feud. CUTTINC THE PAINTER BOATMAN S ALLEGED MALICIOUS ACT. At Khyl County Court last Friday, before Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd, a case was commenced in which a shipping firm styled Messrs Hubert Jones and Co, carrying on business in Foryd Harbour, claimed £ 5 from Harry Meredith Hughes, a young boatman residing at West I Street, in respect of a hawser which he cut in the Foryd on the evening of August 9th. Mr F J Gamlin appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr J Pierce Lewis defended. The proceedings were followed with great interest, especially by the boating fraternity, the number of salts in court being very considerable. ¡ Mr Gamlin opened the casa by saying that his clients were ship owners and carried on business at Foryd, and tho action was one for the recovery of E5 damages caused by the defendant to the plaintiffs through the former wilfully and maliciously cutting a hawser in the Foryd belonging to them. On the 9th of August last plaintiffs' steamship Denbigh was lying moored in the Foryd, secured by a hawser from the bow and another from the stern. High tide that evening was due at 5-45—a 13ft. Gin. tide. Two or three boats went up the Foryd from the the sea, and the men in charge asked the captain of the Denbigh to lower the stern rope in order that their boats might sail over. The captain accordingly did so. At 6-15, the tide being then on the ebb, defendant came along with his 27ft boat. In passing the Denbigh it sailed underneath the Denbigh's bow hawser, but when it gob to the stern hawser, the most important one, defendant asked the captain to lower it and allow him to pass over it. Had the rope been lowered at that time, the ship would have drifted on to the bank and very likely suffered serious damage. Under the circumstances the captain refused to lower the rope. Defendant replied, If you won't lower your rope, I'll cut it." The captain replied that he could do so if he liked, but he would have to stand the consequences. Without more ado defendant cut the hawser in two with his pocket knife, with the result that the ship drifted against the bank, and it was with the greatest difficulty it was prevented from going on the bank and sustaining serious injury. The ship was worth £ 7,000, and JEl,000 damages might easily have resulted. But would the owners have been able to got a thousand shillings from a man of defendant's class '? The rope which defendant cut was worth S.9 originally, but having been cut in the manner described its value had been reduced to E4. Defendant's Version of the affair appeared to bo embodied in the following letter, written by his solicitor :— "From the statements of iny client and of several witnesses, the facts appear to be as follows :-On the 9th ult your client's steamer Denbigh was moored on the northerly side of the fairway, nearly opposite Foryd Hall. She had no anchor down, but had three warps ashore on the northerly side and two warps ashore on the southerly side, thus completely blocking the passage of the river. About 4-30 (nearly an hour before high water, on a 14ft Gin tide) my client was in charge of a large sailing boat, 27 feet long, licensed to carry 30. The boat was coming from sea with passengers aboard, and was going to her moorings at the top end of the harbour. The warp from the bow of the steamer was sufficiently high to allow my client's boat to just pass under, by grating the steamer's side. The warp from her stern was not high enough to allow the boat's masts to pass under, and was not sufficiently low to allow the boat to sail over it. My client asked the captain to slack down his stern warp. He replied, I won't." The boat was then carried by the tide broad- sides on to the warp, and was in danger of capsizing. My clint again asked the captain several times to lower the warp, and at last told the captain that if he did not lower the warp he would cut it, at the same time showing his knife. The captain at last said Cut it if you like." My client then cut the warp with a clean cut, and sailed to his fixed moorings, further up the harbour. The steamer, by lowering her rope, was in no danger whatever, as the slack could be hauled in in a few seconds. A short time before both warps on the southerly side had been lowered to allow Mr Harry Fielding to pass with his sailing boat, but not before he had threatened to cut them. Both the ropes had also been lowered to allow a half-rater yacht belonging to Pierce Lewis and Thomas to pass to her moorings, and the bow rope lowered to allow a fishing smack to pass. I must say that under the circumstances the con- duct of the captain was inexplicable, and the claim now made is extremely ridiculous. If your clients decide to take proceedings, I will accept service on behalf of my client.—Yours faithfully, J PjiRcK Lgwts," Mr Gamlin, continuing, said his client's were, comparatively speaking, new comers, and because they came and pursued their legitimate trade in the harbour, and were able to bring in their ships without the assistance of defendant's father, who was a licensed pilot, the boatmen had got Extremely Jealous and had subjected his clients to the greatest possible annoyance. His Honour would re- member a case tried at Bangor some time ago. The present defendant's father had a boat anchored on the right side of the river, and he refused to allow the Rhos-Colwyn, a pleasure steamer belonging to his clients, to pass through. The man was warned that if he did not allow the steamer to pass it would proceed full steam ahead, but still he refused to get out of the way. The consequence was that in going through the paddle wheel of the steamer caught the man's boat and smashed it. The man claimed £ 25 in the Admirality Court at Bangor, and his Houour gave him the verdict. He had mentioned that case, because of its similarity to this action in some respects. The first witness called was the master of the Denbigh, William Parry, a captain of 17 years' standing, who, in bearing out Mr Gamlin's outline of the case, stated that there were no passengers whatever in defendant's boat-only two men rowing-alld it was carrying no sail. About a minute would have sufficed to lower either of its two masts. It was solely on account of the danger of the Denbigh grounding thit he refused to lower the stern hawser. There was plenty of room for defendant to pass under the stern rope with his masts down. Not only was that rope cut clean through, but witness subse- quently found a rope on the north side cut with a knife, two strands oat of three having been severed. Cross-examined, witness maintained he could have lowered eithsr of defendant's masts in one minute. The Denbigh was moored according to Captain Hawthorn's orders. Mr Picrce-Lewis-In the narrowest part of the river. And how many ropes had you fixed ?-Two ropes from each end on the north side, and two ropes ashore on the south side, one at each end. And in that position you were completely blocking up the river ?—They could have passed by lowering masts. About ten minutes before this boat came up a half-rater came up, and you lowered the ropes straight away when you were called upon to do so ?—Not to anybody after the tido had turned. Did you or did you not ?-Not to anybody- Not if I call the owner to swear that you did ?—No. Have you ever lowered your boats for me ?— I don't know you. 1 Mr Gamlin He is such a different man in court (laughter). Mr Pierce-Lewie Well, I will tell you you have always lowered them for me without any demur. ( Mr Gamlin We are always most courteous. Mr Pierce-Lewis Have you had orders from Captain Hawthorn not to lower the ropes for this boatmin ?—No. Have you told Joseph Hughes, the coxswain, you were sorry you didn't lower the ropes, and knew you had done wrong 1-1 swear I have said no soch thing. It would not have taken you five seconds to lower the rope and haul it in again —If I had had steam on I might have done so. Further cross-examined, witness said he was not cognisant of the fishing boat Hero passing over the stern rope just before defendant's boat came up. He simply moored his vessel as everybody else would have done. Captain Hawthorn's fine in connection with the removal of The Cruiser Fearless from Holyhead had nothing to do with him. Walter Hawthorn, manager for the plaintiffs, gave it as his view that defendant meant to cause some injury when he cut the stern rope in preference to the bow rope. That spirit was quite in keeping with the conduct of the Foryd boatmen towards plaintiffs, who were treated in the harbour with great antagonism. At the very outside witness could have lowered both masts of defendant's boat in three minutes. Mr Pierce-Lewis You say this is done from spite \—Partly from spite towards me. Tackling witness upon a question of time, Mr Pierce-Lewis provoked a laugh by remarking that perhaps his watch on that occasion was in the same condition as his frame of mind when he took the Fearless from Holyhead. Such questions as that are not necessary," replied the witness. You are determined to claim the whole place? —We are owners of one side and have a lease on the other. We only want to look after what is ours. Mr Pierce-Lewis Your Honour, these peo- ple appear to have come here and taken the harbour by storm. Witness I am afraid you wish to create a very false impression. We only want what is ours. Questioned as to the difference the splice made to the rope, witness replied that a spliced rope was not reckoned as strong as a rope without a splice, and that if an accident hap-, pened with a spliced rope, that would form one of the first points that would bo seized upon. Answering further questions, witness replied that their only object in mooring the Denbigh whore they did was that it should remain afloat. John Evans, an able seaman employed on the Denbigh on August 9, having tendered further evidence for the plaintiffs, The defendant was put into the witness box, and gaye his version of the case as outlined in his solicitor's letter. He added that the incident provoked Cries of "Shame" from the people on shore. Mr Gmlin-At you cutting the rope. Defendant-Oh, no. At them refusing to let us pass. There was no other way for me to pass up the river. A remark by defendant that his father's boat Hero was one of the three which had passed up the river just before his arrived on the scene prompted the Judge to ask-Is there the same feeling about your father as about you? Defendant It is through my father they are prosecuting me. The Judge They lowered the rope for your father, you say, but not for you ? Defendant-My father's boat was a- fishing smack, and if the rope had not been lowered she would have gone full tilt against it and cut it herself. Continuing, defendant said that he was only five minutes behind the other boats. If the Denbigh's stern rope had been lowered he could have passed over it in two seconds. It need not have been lowered a fathom, and even if it had not been hauled in at that, and the vessel had drifted, there would still have been about six feet to spare on the other side. Mr Gamlin-You don't hold a master's certi- ficate like Captain Hawthorn ?—I hold one under the Council (laughter). Can you give any reason why we should refuse to lower our stern rope for you ?—I can t, sir. You know they lowered it for the other boats?—It must have been. Why should they make a distinction as against you ?—I don't know. Do you suggest a grudge %—I am not aware of any. There has been a row at Foryd now and again ?—There have been little bothers. And assaults occasionally ?—Only a row now and again. Mr Pierce Lewis—You had to cut the rope to save your own life possibly ?—Yes. Charles Hughes, defendant's brother-in-law and his fellow boatman on the occasion in question, agreed with defendant that it would take over an hour to lower one of the masts of the Providence (defendant's boat), and that one man could not have done it alone. He also corroborated defendant's version of the en- counter with the Denbigh, adding that at the time defendant cut the rope they were in dan- ger of being overturned, as it was "jamming" against the Providence's masts. In cross-examination, witness said the plan produced showed a very queer boat (laughter). Mr Gamlin: That's the Providence. -It's nothing like it, sir. Mr Pierce-Lewis As much like your boat as the steamship Denbigh is like the cruiser Fearless—(laughter).—Quite as much. The Judge (with an eye on the time) Have'nt we got the whole story now ? Mr Pierce-Lewis Not quite, sir. I have to call evidence to prove that this steamer was not moored in the best place in the harbour by any means. The Judge I don't mind that, but I don't know that the vessel was bound to go to the best place. Mr Pierce-Lewis I have also to show that the rope might have been sufficiently lowered for the Providence to sail over it. At that stage the case was adjourned to the November court.

Rhyl as a Winter Health Resort. Rhyl is rapidly acquiring a high reputa- tion for its climate in winter. Hitherto its advantages as a winter resi- dence have not been appreciated as they deserve, which I attribute to the fact that they have not been sufficiently made known, and I am convinced that the more they are considered, the more popular will it become as a health resort. It stands almost unequalled for the salu- brity and dryness of its atmosphere, its exemp- tion from all kinds of epidemics, and its entire freedom from fogs. The small precipitation of rain, and absence of mist and fog in winter at Rhyl, is due, in the first place, to the Snowdonian mountains having condensed and caused the precipita- tion of the moisture of the rain winds, and secondly to the drying influence of the wide expanse of sandhills and the sand left between the tide marks, and the conse- quent absence of standing water. The dry and porous nature of the soil, of course, exercises a great influence on the warmth of its climate, as through the soil the rain percolates almost as soon as it falls, and but little, therefore, is left to cool and moisten the &ir by evaporation. The rainfall of Rhyl is remarkably small, and there is a very high record of sunshine, the average temperature being cooler in summer and warmer in winter than either in Torquay or Bournemouth. The long and lofty range of mountains traversing the whole of North Wales exercises a very important influence un its climate. The, fall of rain in the mountainous regions far exceeds the fall in the immediate locality of Rhyl, and to this fact the town is to a considerable extent indebted for the abnorm- ally high temperature it enjoys through the winter months. Many eminent doctors in the large English towns speak in the highest terms of the climate along the North Wales Coast, and send their patients thither, to winter and recupeiate during convalescence, and the late Dr Evans, of Birmingham, who during his lifetime was a frequent visitor to Rhyl, used to say that it was unrivalled in the United Kingdom as a residence for consumptive patients. "V ears ago, invalids were ordered to Tor- quay and Ventnor, until those health resorts being found too relaxing the more bracing air of Bournemouth was discovered to be beneficial. And there is no doubt whatever that before many years have passed, the still purer and more bracing air of Rhyl will in many cases be preferred to that of either of the winter resorts I have mentioned. Another important advantage possessed by Rhyl is its accessibility, it being about three hours' ride from Birmingham, and the London and North Western Railway Company, who own the line by which our destination is reached, offer every facility in the way of cheap fares, for long or short periods, during the winter months. Rhyl is now an important town with a resident population of about 9,000. The principal streets and promenade are lighted with electricity the Town Band plays during the winter 5 frequent concerts and entertainments take place; and there are good hockey, football aDd social clubs, so that those who believe the place is dull in winter will be most agreeably surprised, as they will be, also, at the low prices charged during the winter months at the hotels and boarding houses. I have visited Rhyl in almost every month of the year for periode of three months to three days at a time, and I fully believe that as a winter resort it cannot be surpassed, and the fact that it has been selected for a place of permanent residence by numbers of men of business and independent means proves it is a desirable place to live at all the year round, and as the grandness and beauty of its climate in winter become better under- stood, there will be few places more sought after as a winter resort.
