Sequel to a Colwyn Bay Action. A Salford Bankrupt's Indiscretion. MR LEEKSCHE, sitting as judge at the Salford County Court, on SMonctay, in the absence of his Honour Judge Parry, heard an application for the discharge of William Evans from bank- ruptcy. According to the bankrupt's statement of affairs, the liabilities to rank for dividend were estimated a f538 9s gd. The assets of the bankrupt had realised 13s nd. The bankrupt attributed his insolvency to the lc|;s of 'an action which he brought against the petitioning 'creditors. The action in question was imtitutedlagainst Mr James Porter, of Col- wyn Bay, solicitor; Mr James Smith, of Bangor, banker; Ir Hugh Jones, of Conway, farmer; and Mr William Roger Evans. (bankrupt's father). In it he sought for a declaration of a farm at Pen-y-Bryn for securing the repayment of £1,000 and interest, dated the 29th of March, isc)g-a farm which he claimed to be entitled to as tenant-in-tail and eldest son of his1 late mother,-and: under the terms of a partition. deed executed in October, 1899, subject to the bankrupt's father's interest asi tenant by the courtesy, and .a conveyance of such farm to. Mr Jones for the .sum of ^1,400, dated the 23rd October, 1900, were fraudulent and void as against himself. On these grounds the bank- rupt asked to have the mortgage: and- convey- ance set aside and the farm -conveyed to him subject to his father's life interest therein. The action was tried before Mr Justice Farwell. The 'bankrupt alleged that unfair advantage had been taken of him by his father, and' that the other defendants had full notice of the unfair ad- vantage which Mr Evans, sen., was taking of his son. Mr Justice Farwell decided' that tnere was no case whatever against any of the de- fendants. Mr Acton, who apeared for the bankrupt, submitted that the action which led to the bank- ruptcy was not frivolous or vexatious. The bankrupt was advised by eminent -counsel that he had a, good cause of .action, and the fact that he failed in the action ought not to be pressed unduly against fnkn. The Official Receiver said he did not allege that the action was frivolous or vexatious, but he did suggest that it was an unjustifiable action. If his Honour found that that was the case the discharge, if granted, must at least be suspended for two years. It would also be fo.r the court to say whether or not the (bankrupt had been guilty of misconduct in instituting and: prose- I cuting an unjustifiable action against the peti- tioning creditors. Mr Acton urged that the bankurpt's conduct ;on. only amounted to indiscretion. The Judge granted the bankrupt his discharge, but suspended it for two years.

Chester's New Trams. A 7 Minutes' Service. THE Bonrd of Trade inspection of Chester's new electrical overhead tramway system was completed on Saturday. The new system was inaugurated by a seven and a half minutes' service on Monday. The tobl cost of the installation is likely to be £ 60,000. When the Town Council decided upon the overhead system there was a great outcry among antiquarians and others that the architectural beauties of tie old city would be matTerl, but the work of reconstruction from horse haulage to electric traction has been so carefully carried out that there is only the minima u of, if any, disfigure- ment

Colwyn Bay Bankruptcy Cases. Remarkable Money-Lending Transactions. Ox Thursday, before Mr Registrar J. Glynne Jones, Robert Evan Foulkes, carter, of 77, Park Road, Colwyn Bay. appeared for his public ex- amination at the Bangor Bankruptcy Court. His liabilities amounted to £ 2 26, and his deficiency to /197. The debtor attributed his failure to bad trade and losses by death of three horses in the course of the last three months. According to the official receiver's obser- vations ,the bankrupt commenced business as a carrier seven years ago with only about ^'30 capital. In the beginning of 1900 he Ibecame tenant of the Plough Inn, Old Colwyn, and at the same time carried on the business of a carriage proprietor and carter. In addition to stock he had a sum of £4°, but he borrowed another £40 from the National Provincial Bank in order to pay for ingoing, etc. Replying to questions put by the Assistant Official Receiver, Mr Daniel Williams, the bankrupt said that he borrowed £3° from a moneylender. He had repaid /IG, and the moneylender now claimed £ ^2 more. The examination was closed. Losses in the Mineral Water Trade. John Sme'ihhurst, iRhiw Bank Avenue, Col- wyn Bay, formerly of l'enkhull-street, New- castle, seraied water manufacturer's Imanager, and previously a manufacturer. The liabilities were £233 iSs, and there were no assets. Losses in the public-house and mineral water businesses carried on at New- casQe-under-Lyme, and bad debts were the alleged causes of failure. In his observations the Official Receiver said the bankrupt came to Colwyn Bay in December, 1901, and had since been employed by Mr J. H. Clegg as manager of the Colwyn Bay Mineral Water Works at a salary of 35s a week. During examination by the Assistant Official Receiver, it transpired that the bankrupt and his wife had been beneficiaries to a large extent under various wills. -His wife was entitled to a seventh share of 637,0c0 under one will, but she transferred her interest in i'J lo her sister. Questioned aibout gambling transactions the bankrupt at first denied that' he had los't any money by gambling, but subsequently corrected himself by saying that he had lost some, but it did not exceed altogether. The examination was closed. ♦

Rhos=on-Sea Golf Links. Preparations for Easter. THESE splendid IS hole sporting golf links which are among the most accessible on the North "Welsh Coast, are in fine condition for play. The whole of the greens have been under repair for five months. A liberal amount of chemical manures and much labour has been devoted to their improvement, and on the lines of play, with most satisfactory results. The links are over 120 acres in extent, so that all crossing is avoided, and there is thus 'ample I room for a very large number of players with- out crowding, delay, or discomfort, which is so annoying to golfers. No vexatious regulations or restrictions, as is now so general on golf links in holiday seasons, govern play. Nothing is wanted, therefore, but good weather to provide golfers with a rare treat, and a most enjoyable holiday, calculated to j send 'them back to their work, with renewed health and spirits. The new residential professional, William' Shaw, will be in attendance for the benefit of the members and visitors. The Easter Competition. The club are presenting seven prizes for the open amateur handicap medal competition —irom Iriday, April 10th, to Monday, April 13th inclusive—to give interest and an object to the play as follows; -I st prize, solid leather golfer's travelling trunk made by Campbell, of Hoylake; 2nd, .golf bag, winner's selection; 3rd, silver medal; 4th, silver-mount'ed pipe in case; 5th, golf club, winner's selection; 6th, dozen box of .best re-made ball's 7th, bronze medal; cards, is each. Visitors' lowest club handicap will be taken in this competition. The fine large new club house is rapidly ap- proaching completion. It will contain every possible comfort and convenience for golfers. On completion- of the club house, the new course will be opened by one of the amateur champions. From a golfing point of view, this new course will probably add to the attractions of these links, as it is so. arranged that No. J. T. No. 9 Green No. 10 T. No. 18 'Green are im. mediately in front of the club house, so that a player can play nine holes and have a rest and refreshment before playing the remainder of She 18 holes. This plan, no doubt, will find favour with many visitors, who find the full 18 holes too much for their strength. It will also enable the ladies to enjoy golf without over- fatigue. 4

Corwen and Bettwyscoed Light Railway. Enthusiastic Meetings. Ox Friday evening Mr R. Lloyd Jones, ÍJan. rwst, addressed a crowded audience of farmers at .Cerrygydrudicn in supper!) of this scheme. VrI-I. II. Davis presided. Mr Lloyd Jones gave a detailed account of the route, 'and explained the financial prospects. The line will be of the ordinary gauge. The necessity was strongly pointed out of proving that the, neighbourhood wsa in earnest in demanding the railway, and this could only be done 'by a good number of the inhabitants, taking a small share in the con- cern. Favourable replies had already been re- rceix-ed from, several landowners' on the route, and from all points the prospects were most en- couraging. The Rev. J. Tones, rector, the Rev. J. iMorgan Jones, Mr W. G. Williams, Mr D. R. Thomas, and others! took' part, and a resolution pledging the meeting to support the railway was unanimously adopted. On Saturday public meetings were held at Cwm and at Penmachno. Dr W. M. Williams presided, and Mr R. Lloyd Jones and Mr Davies Jones delivered stirring speeches. 'These meet- ings also passed a resolution in favour of the project, and several promised to take shares have already been received.

Christian Endeavour. Easter Week Convention. IN connection with the societies of Christian Endeavour of Wales, a yearly convention is held, the objects of which are to educate in the principles and methods of Christian Endeavour, to stimulate and encourage, and to give opportunities of Christian social intercourse to the workers who attend, and to inform those outside the movement of its aims and principles. The 1903 gathering will be held at Pontypridd, South Wales, during Easter Week, on the 14th, 15th, and 16th inst. Interesting topics and speakers have been selected by the Welsh National Execu- tive. Amongst the topics to be considered are— What does C. E stand for and The Church and the Young." Sir Alfred Thomas, M.P., has promised to give a reception to the delegates, who are expected from all parts of the Principality. The chairman of the elsh Parliamentary Party will also preside at the "Junior R illy," which will be an interesting affair, wt.en some 120 Juniors will build, block by block, a large and correctly-designed model of a bridge, which is intended to illustrate the object of the Junior Society of C.E.-ttie plovisiol1 of a way leading from the Sunday School to the Church. A choir of 350 children wiil take part in the rally. This splendid movement, originated some 22 years ago by Dr Clark in America, has had a firm hold in South Wales, and there are many strong societies-in North Wales. The movement is un- denominational, or, rather, interdenominational in its character, and its motto is For Christ and the Church." It has captured America from end to end, and Australia has welcomed it with enthusiasm The movement is a great recognised Christian force in Japan, and Ching's Endeavourers are increasing with marvellous rapidity. In almost every country—even under the tyrannical rule of Turkey—this revival movement is flourishing. .0

Mr Balfour I understand that that resolution is couched in the form of a vote of censure on the Government—(Opposition -cheers),-a,i-id, of course, I .shall give a day, and I shall make 'hat day as convenient as I can for both sides. The suggestion I would make is that it should be on the Monday after we return, the Thursday after we return 'being devoted to the Budget. The Goveram nt and Railway Rates on Welsh farm Produce. Mr Herbert Roberts asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if he was in a position to inform the House whether the question of rail- way rates was receiving his consideration, and whether he proposed at an early date to make a public statement upon this subject so far as it related to the agricultural interests of the country. Mr Hanbury: The question of railwlay rates is, in my opinion, one of first-class import- ance—(cheers)—and I hope as soon -as, I have completed inquires which are now going on to put myself in communication with the railway companies on t'he subject of the r,aites charged on agricultural produce. As tttie hon. member -i is probably aware, there is shortly to be a con- ference on this subject in Wales, which. I hope to attend.—(Cheers.) 4

Green, The Moors; iMr J. Lewis, Trwst Lleweilyn, and' others. The Chairman said that Montgomeryshire was a county entirely suitable for the breeding of co'bs and ponies, and they had the material which, if classified, as it would be in the ISitud book, could be turned to the very !best account. Mr Coltman Rogers said his particular fancy was for the small Welsh pony, wihiich was stronger ,and more hardy than those of Exmoor or Dartmoor. The other sort he liked was the old Welsh cob, which seemed to. be as dear to the Welshman as his flannel or his "tonic solfa." Mr R. Morgan and Mr Maurice Lloyd also addressed the meeting. 4
