The Lady Cyclist and the Driver. Amusing Case at Rhyl. "What are our Daughters coming to." His Honour Judge Lloyd heard an amusing case at the Rhyl County Court, last Friday, in which Miss Sarah Anne Taffe, daughter of P.C. Taffe, Rhuddlan, claimed of Thomas Wright, a Rhyl cib driver, the sum of £7 is. 6d. for damages she had sustained in consequence of being run down by the defendant at Rhyl on April 30th. Mr F. J. Gamlin appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Joseph Lloyd for the defendant. Mr Gamlin said the damages were made up of £ 3 12S. 6d. and 6s. in connection with repairs rendered necessary to the plaintiff's bicycle, and £ 3 3s. damages to her costume. It appears that on April 30th there was a May-day procession at Rhyl. In this procession the Rhuddlan Fire Brigade was taking part. The fire engine was 1 Z5 going down High Street from the Parade towards the railway bridge, and the plaintiff was going on her bicycle up High Street, in the direction of the Parade. When near the London and Pro- vincial Bank she met the Rhuddlan Fire Brigade coming towards her, which passed her just by the bank. Plaintiff was going slowly close to the kerbstone talking to her friends and immediately after the Brigade had passed defendant overtook her with his horse and carriageand ran into the back part of her machine Plaintiff was thrown to the ground and was almost trampled upon by the horse. Her bicycle was considerably damaged, and plain- tiff was much shaken and hurt, and her clothing destroyed. Had the defendant exercised proper care he would not have passed her when he did, but would have waited until the brigade had passed. At the time the defendant had his head turned in the direction of the brigade, and was nodding his head to his friends there. The plaintiff, who was fashionably dressed, gave corroborative evidence. Cross-examined by Mr Joseph Lloyd Are you not a bit extravagant in going in for a costume that cost £ 3 3s. Witness That includes the hat as well. Mr Lloyd Was it a picture hat. (laughter). Mr Gamlin What is a picture hat ? Mr Lloyd I don't know, I have seen them advertised, (laughter). What did your hat cost ? Witness Five and eleven pence. Mr Lloyd And your costume ? £ 2 17s 6d. Mr Lloyd Is not that rather extravagant, a three guinea costume and a thirteen guinea bicycle. Witness If my father likes to pay for them it is alright. Plaintiii's story was corroborated by Mrs Ruth Williams, Miss Susannah Davies, and Mr Jchn Heathcote, and P.C Taaffe deposed to having had conversation with the defendant, who asked him to 's.:ttle the case without going to law. Mr Joseph L!oyd for the defence, said that they had in this case, the daughter of a village constable riding a thirteen guinea bicycle to Rhyl on May day and dressed in a three guinea costume. When he thought of such extravagance he was prompted to exclaim "what are our daughters coming to" (laughter). His case was that instead of defendant waving his hands to the brigade it was the plaintiff who did so, as ladies sometimes did at members of Fire Brigades and anything else in uniform (laughter). His client was driving along High Street immediately behind the plaintiff, and while she rode her machine at the same rate everything was all right. But when the plaintiff saw the Fire Brigade, she slowed down suddenly with the result that the defendant's machine collided with her machine. When picked up she admitted it was her fault and not the defendant's. The defendant gave evidence in accordance with his advocate's statement, and he was corroborated by Donald McCarthy, who was on the box with him at the time, whilst a witness named Tom Hughes, deposed to hearing the plaintiff say to Mr Wright when picked up It is not your fault, it is my fault entirely." His Honour said there would be judgment for plaintiff for £ 5 55.

An Abergele Magistrate and the Railway Company. Claim for Damaged Bicycles. Story of an Abandoned Tour. THE story of how the Chairman of the Abergele Urban Council was compelled to abandon a pro- jeced bicycle tour in Ireland during the month of June, through the alleged negligence of the Railway Company, was unfolded before his Honour Judge Lloyd, last Friday, in the Rhyl County Court, where Mr J. Pierce sued the Company for the sum of C,20, the value of two bicycles which had been damaged in transit from Birmingham to Abergele. Mr Ed. Crabbe appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr P'enna was for the defendant company, who .2 into cout-t. paid -f Mr E. A. Crabbe said that the plaintiff carried on business in Abergele as a saddler, and some time ago he had engaged to buy a bicycle for a friend, and as he also wanted one for himself, he ordered two machines from Messrs London Bros., of Birmingham. The machines were dispatched from Birmingham by the 3-30 p.m. train on Saturday, the 3rd of June, but they did not reach Abergele until 7-15 p.m. on the foliowing Sunday evening. They were brought up from the station by his client's two sons, and when unpacked they were found to be damaged to such an extent as to be ab- solutely useless. Complaint was made to the stationmaster who sent for the machines and took them back. His client now claimed £ 20, the value of these machines. His client was very much dis- appointed when he received the machines, for Mr Fletcher and himself had intended to take the machines with them for a tour through Ireland that very Sunday, and in consequence of the state in which they arrived they could not do so. Mr Fletcher absolutely declined to buy the machine as it would not be in such a state if repaired that it could he regarded as a new machine, and the same applied to the other machine. The machines were sent at company's risk. Mr John Pierce the plaintiff, said he had paid £ 17 17s 6d for two machines. He claimed £ 20 because he had a customer for one at a profit. It was a good grade machine. A gentleman sent by Mr Entwistle had interviewed him. He admitted that the machine had been damaged and offered him 25s which he had declined to accept. He would not ride a machine which had been damaged in the way that these machines had been damaged. Mr Fletcher for whom he had bought one posi- tively refused to ride it. Cross-examined He had sold the bicycle to Mr Fletcher for Cio 10s. Mr Fletcher gave corroborative evidence and described the part of the machines that were damaged. Mr Tomkinson, postman, St Asaph, who also saw the machines when packed, gave similar evidence. Mr Fenna said the Company admitted their liability and it was simply a question of the amount they should pay for the damage that had been done. The damages, he submitted, had been much ex- aggerated. He submitted it was Mr Pierce's duty to take in the bicycles and have them repaired and ascertain what the damage really was. He ought not to sue them for full value of the machines. The machines had been taken to Chester and ex- amined by Mr Monk, an expert, in the presence of his brother aud a foreman. Mr Monk was a mem- ber of one of the oldest and largest cycling firms in Chester, and he would teli the court most con- fidently that the damages were not of a serious kind, and that the most material damage was caused by construction and could not .have been done in transit, one wheel not having been truly set when it left the manufacturer. Stationmaster's Evidence. Mr S. B. Rogers, stationmaster at Abergele, said he saw Mr Pierce a few days after the machines had been returned to the station and asked him if he would not take the machines back and have them repaired. He explained that Mr Fletcher and him- self were going for a week's holiday to Ireland, and that he would not accept the machines repaired. He declined to have anything to do with the machines on any terms. The machines were brought back to the station by the carter, who was under the impression that they were being returned to the senders There was no agreement on his part to receive them. Mr Arthur Monk, member of the firm of Messrs W. H. Monk & Sons, cycle factors, Chester, said he had examined the two machines in the presence of his brother and the foreman. He described the damage done to the different parts. He estimated the amount of damage done to one machine at 5s, and the other at 7s 6d. Cross-examined This was the first case in which he had been employed by the Railway Company to report on bicycles. It was a very poor grade of machine, and he would be surprised to hear that the plaintiff had for eight years ridden a machine of the same make but of lower grade, and that he had ridden 400 miles in one week. The Judge said he could not go with Mr Fenna so far as to subscribe to the doctrine that under all circumstances the assignee was bound to accept delivery of goods damaged in transit, and make a claim for the actual cost of repairing them. There were cases in which the goods were absolutely destroyed and beyond repair. In such a case the doctrine of Mr Fenna would be unreasonable. It was all a question of degree. In this case. however, he could not help thinking that the machines could be repaired. There was very wide difference in the evidence as to the extent of the damage the expert had put it at a very trivial figure. The suggestion that he did this because he was generally employed by the Company to report on such cases had broken down, but it was open to the suspicion to suggest that he might have in view future employ- ment. He could quite enter into the feelings of the plaintiit and his friend in being disappointed of their Irish trip, and as a consequence they would look at these machines with very different eyes to of Mr Monk's. But he never knew a case in which there was such an amazing difference as to the damage. One side said that the machines were damaged to such an extent as to be absolutely valueless, whilst a practical man said that for an expenditure of 12s 6d they could be made equal to new. He should decide that the plaintiff was to take these machines and make the best of them, and he would allow him -15 damage-

An Heir at Last. THE birth of an heir to the octogenarian Marquis of Donegal (says a London correspondent), is excit- ing interest second only to the fiscal question, while the discussions are still more piquant. The Marquis of Donegal is well known in London as a bolt vivcur, and was at one time regularly to be seen at the House of Lords. His lordship, who was married for a third time in the beginning of 1903, found himself for the first time in October, 1903, the father of a baby boy.

Rhyl County Court. FRIDAY Before His Honour Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd and Oliver George, Esq, registrar. Z! Claim for the Removal of Furntiure. Mrs Hughes, and Miss Mary Elizabeth Hughes, 24 River Street, was sued by Mr W. H. Bell, up- holsterer, for C4- for removing household furniture from Brighton Road to River Street. Mr Joseph Lloyd was for the plaintiff and Mr J. Roberts Jones for the defendant. Plaintiff said he was asked by Miss Hughes to give an estimate for removing a portion of her fur- niture from Brighton Road to River Street. He es- timated that there were two van loads, and he gave an estimate for £ 3 5s. on that assumption. But when he cammenced to move the furniture he was directed to take the things that he was told were not to be taken, with the result that three van loads were taken away, and he claimed 15s. for the extra load. Mr J. Roberts Jones said his instructions were that the removal was carried out in a very rough and tumble way, in fact the whole thing was done so slovenly that the defendant had suffered very much in health. Judgment for plaintiff against the defendant, Miss Hu,?hes, for I E3 5s. Claim against a Lodger. THE EXCITABLE GERMAN AND THE COOL WELSHMAN. Mr G. A. Hoffmin, of the Arcade, Rhyl, was sued by Mr Edward Jones, Albert Street, Rhyl, for the sum of £ 2 is 6d. Mr Gamlin was for the plaintiff, and Mr Joseph Lloyd for the defendant. Mr Gamlin said that the claim was fcr 123 6d in respect of one week's apartments which the de- fendant occupied at plaintiff's house, and Ci 63 for the hire of a table and a glass case fer 52 weeks at sixpence per week, and 2s 6d for damage to same. The defendant put in a counter-claim against them for fi 5-3 iild for goods 'sold. Defendant about twelve years ago took rooms in plaintiff's home paying him 12s 6d a week. Certain disagreements took place between the parties with the result that Mr Hoffman who was a man six feet high, took Mr Jones, who was a little man five feet high, by the sholders and threw him clean out of the room. Mr Joseph Lloyd Mr Hoffman is a German and your client is a Welshman. Mr Gamlin said that Mr Hoffman was an ex- citable German, and Mr Jones was a cool Welsh- man. With regard to the counter claim he handed to His Honour the original bill of Mr Hoffman for £ 3 7s 3.1. and receipts for various instalments showing that the whole amount had been paid with the exception of elevenpence. Plaintiff formally corroborated what Mr Gamlin had said. Mr Lloyd Why did you not order the defendant to leave the house when he behaved towards you in such a violent manner. Mr Gamlin Look at the disparity in the weight and height (laughter). -0- Mr Lloyd Surely a little Welshman is not afraid of a tali German (laughtei). Plaintiff You would if he put his fist in your face. Mr Lloyd And yet he lived with you for about 12 years, Plaintiff He declined to leave. I had often told him to go. Mr Lloyd, for the defence said that they acknow- ledged that they owed a week's rent, and the only question was in regard to the charge for hire of the glass case and the table. As to the counterclaim, when the plaintiff called on him and said he had paid all that was owing he asked him to produce the receipts, but he did not do so. Up to this time there had been no suggestion as to any claim for the hire of furniture, and the first intimation that his client had a claim was through Mr Gamlin. The original claim was for double rent, and finding that this could not be recovered, this bogus claim for hire was set up. The fact was that these articles were taken into the Arcade to be stored as the case was in the plaintiff's yard. All the time they were in the Arcade there was no suggestion that any charge was to be made in respect of them. The whole conduct of the plaintiff showed that there was no intention to charge for them. With regard to the counter-claim he could say nothing further than that the books of the defendant showed that the amount claimed for was owing. Had Mr Jones, when asked to do so, produced the receipts, they would have allowed the claim accordingly. Mrs Hoffman, wife of the defendant said she had taken the glass case to the Arcade, because it was lying about in the yard in the rain. She used the glass case for storing a few toys to preserve them from the smoke. She did not think there was any justification for charging for the glass case as plain- tiff and his wife used her bed to sleep on (laughter). She had never heard a word to the effect that she would be charged for the hire of the glass case and the table. It was not true that the defendant had thrown plaintiff out of the room. The Judge gave judgement for the plaintiff for 12s 6d. disallowing the claim for hire. He dis- allowed defendant's counter-claim except as to the sum of ninepence there]being thus a net judgment f jr plaintif ffor us 9d. ♦
