F. Roch, solicitor, appeared ior the I ■ plaintiif a,i Mr. W. J. Williams, solicitor, represented defendant. Mr. Roch said H that H iarit Miss George adver- ■ tized tue sale oi her farm, among the items being "tour ricks of hav all harvested in ■ splendid cor;ditioii and ■^excellent quality/' ■ Plaintiff bought one n?k, the first part of ■ which was in good oondition, and no doubt H answered to the description. When he got to the bottom, however, he found there had ■ been placed there hay of a worthless descrip- tion. ■ David Jones.. the oomplainant, said he had ■ been buying hay for the last twenty years. He prod •■.cod the advertisement of the sale ■ at Glanllynant, which stated "four ricks of hay, all harvested in splendid condition and ■ of excellent juality." He bought one rick ■ of meadow lipy, for which he paid JE33 10s., and afterwards he cut it up in order to cart H it to the station. The bottom was quite ■ spoilt no good at all. It had been out for a month the yen: before, and as His Honour ■ knew the weather wars very bad then. It ■ smelt vf v L. cIIj, was dark in colour, and quite use.Coi fo. hitn. He carted it home for bedding. The bad hay was a yard in ■ depth, :"h,v"t Po'tr to five tons in weight ■ damaged. He estimated the loss at £ 2 10s. ■ a tdri. T-niahed cutting the rick, he told Miss George of the facts and said he H wanted to moke up quietly with her. ■ Cross-examined, he had not looked over ■ the hay befoie it was sold, but he did make ■ a test. He would have been able to detect H the difference between hay of different years ■ but in t11" -tie it was not in sight, the fresh ■ hay overlapping the bad hay. ■ Had they been plucking that hay P—I c.,r,- not say. His Honour: Whea buying hay don't you ■ see whether it is properly laid and pluoked? ■ —Yes It I::1:;1 as though it had been H plucked. ■ In further cross-examination, complainant ■ said he >• not notice Mr. Jones, Llwynpiod, H at the haggard, but he did see Mr. Williams, Waungelod. ■ Mr. Will-ams: DM you give them 10s. each not to bid against you ? Mr. Rocn Is this material, your Houour ? His Fi-1" Tc ri is material Mr. Williams will make something of it. H Mr. Jones: Does that question belong to ■ this cas". •- chatting there- His Honour: Did or didn't you ? ■ Complainant: T did. Mr. Jones gave me ■ the 10s. back. H Mr. Williams: You said you didn't epeak to Mr. Jones at the haggard. H ComplH'.Mait: I spoke to him in another field. Continuing, be &aid he carted the hay away about the end of October. He did net tell Wm John Evans that he had been asked H to say the hay had given every satisfaction. The spoilt hay was laid nearly the whole ■ length, and nearly the whole breadth, but be ■ did not think it was merely put there as foundation. H Re-ex:>,r¡ineo, the sample he took from the tick to judge whether he should buy or not ■ was taken about two yards from the bottom. He was getting ES 108. a ton for the good ■■ bay. David Rees, Ty'ryet. Cardigan, labourer, sqjd during 1903 and 1904 he was working for Miss George. He remembered a rick that was made in 1904. He carted five loads of hav from p 1903 rick to put at the bottom. H It was spoilt hay, but Mr. T. R. Davies, his master, Wm hill to do it. This hay was placed two yards in depth, which would be reduced considerably when the new hay was I put on. Cross-examined, the 1903 hay was laid on the foundation, and not as a foundation it- self. The loads were drawn by one horse, and none of them were tied at all, as it only came irom the field forty yards away. His Honour: Did it come from a rick or had it never been stacked ? Witness: It came from a rick. Mr. W. J. Williams: Was the soil wet where the new rick was built?—No. Mr. Williams: Are you on friendly terms with Miss George ?—We are all right. (Laughter.) Did you tell Mr. George, Cnwcsaeson, that you had "seen her worst (Gwaethaf ei dan- nedd hi welais i).—No. Re-examined, this haggard was high up and always dry. There was always a foun- dation of wood and brushz God laid down. o auctioneer, Cardigan, said on 14th September he soid c>t Glanlivnan sale, the iick oi hay being knocked down to Mr. Jones for £ 33 10s. Crass-exam;:ird No G of the conditions of sales, which ho produced, stated that "neither the vendor nor tho auctioneer shall be answerable for any imperfection or errors of descriptions in the These were the usual conditions. He prepared the poster from a copy provided by Mr. J. R. Davies. Do you always consider that the conditions rule, and not the pqrtie!dam? Jxifc xiouour: lhat is a. matter of law. I may be wrong and Mr. Evans right, but you must come to me for that. (Laughter). Mi. y> ilhams, audressing his honour, said he would bring evidence to show that the poorer hay could be re--n by anyone. He could not comprehend where the fraud came in- u Judge Bishop: Don't you? Your case is, what a fool ho was to buy it" I suppose. Mr. Williams: Yes. when as he says, he always took the precaution to test hay. For the defence. T. R. Davies said he act- ed as bailiff for Miss George. They took the butt of hay (the remainder of the old rick) to make :i youndation for the new rick. as they did not know how long it was going to be kept. His Hc'iour: Did you know Mi;s George was going to sell & Witness: les. Continuing, he said they took between four or five smaji loads, and laid it so that everybody could see. There was no intention for fraud. (Laughter). The rick was plucked, and the old hav could then I be seen by any obseivant person it being with the top. & Cross-examineci by Mr. U'>l'h ho nnnlrl ewear that it was betw^n four and five loads. W only had to bo carted about twenty yards. He admitted it was worthier. You knew it was going to be sold?—Yes. V to Put this hay there it wotfld ma^f n=k a bit higher?—Yes. His Houour: Would it take Mr. Roch in if (Laughter) anything about hay? Witness: We did not put it there as hay. His Honour: 1 hey put it there as bedding ajid sold it as hay .(Renewed laughter). nJ" ?°t 01l Th.es inaooent as a lamb. Ci?«n fjiwyr,Plod, said while at Glanllynant sale he saw plaintiff, and had a conversation with him about one rick. De- fendant offered him something not to hid against him. He himself did &not notice the quality of the. hay, but detected the differ- ence in colour. Some farmers usually did put deep foundations to their ricks. Cross-examined, he did not know whether it was necessary to put such a deep foundation in this case. His Honour: If you knew two feet were worthless and the rest good, would you con- sider it a rick of good hay.—I can't say, sir. T. Lawrence NVilliaryiN7 Tynyrallt, said he noticed a difference at the bottom of the rick say from eighteen inches to two feet. He could make out that that at the bottom was not of the same quality as the hay above. W m. John Evans, Greenfield-square, Car- digan, said he carted some of both qualities of hay to the station for Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones, while he was assisting to load two trucks, told him he had received a letter saying that the hay was in good condition. The depth of the old hay was between eigh- teen inches and two feet. Cross-examined, he was more than two days in Mr. Jones' employ. Cross-examined, he was more than two claim for breach of contract, and Judge Bis- hop said if they had proceeded for fraudu- lent misrepresentation he would have found fraud. The verdict would be for the plain- tiff for £ 10. with costs.

NEWCASTLE EMLYN. COUNTY COURT. The bi-monthly County Court was held on Saturday last before Judge Bishop. Several cases were on the application of counsel withdrawn or adjourned. Case against the G. W. R. Company's Artifices and Subtle Arguments. Woollen manufacturers and farmers evinc- ed much interest in a case in which John Clarke of Dangribyn, Cwmmorgan, manufacturer, claimed to recover from the Great Western Railway Company, Limited, the sum of 215 12s. 2d. damages for breach of contract, goods entrusted to the Company having been lost or mislaid. The goods were 84 lbs. of manufactured Welsh flannel. Mr. Roy Ev- ans appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. R. W. Picton Evans, Cardigan, appeared for the Company. The following jury were em- pannelled :-Thomas Evans, Bangor Teify; David Jones, Trewen Mill, Brongwyn; John Jones, Cwmcoy; Evan Davies, Gilfachronw; Benjamin Davies, Bronrhydden; James Jones, Ffynon; Samuel Jones, Cenarth; and Walter Jones, Drovers Arms.—On the appli- cation of Mr. iloy Evans, all the witnesses were ordered out of oourt. Mr. Evans, ex- plaining the case, said Mr. Clarke paid 2s. 8d. for the carriage of a parcel of flannel to Landore by a train which he also travelled, and it was perfectly plain he could at any station ask for the goods.—A porter at Lan- dore told him that a common carrier would take him the parcel to Pontardawe. The parcel was not seen afterwards. He did not know whether they would try and prove that the liability of the Great Western Railway Company ended when Landore station was reached, but it* was an extraordinary thing that the company never demanded the ticket for the parcel back again. John Clarke, woollen manufacturer, said on Saturday, September 24th, he went to Newcastle Emlyn taking a bale of flannel, packed in a sack, and with a blank label at- tached to it. He valued the cost price of the flannel at Lll 12s. 2d., and calculated that the sale value then would be L15 12s. 2d. At the station he took a third class ticket for Landore, leaving his parcel on the platform and asking the porter to label it to Landore. Mr. Beck told him he must pay for the parcel, and he did so, receiving a receipt for it. He saw that the parcel was labelled by a porter, and next remembered seeing it being wheel- ed on a trolley by a porter at Landore. He asked the porter the best way to get to Pont- ardawe fair, and having read the receipt he told complainant that a carrier named Hunt was going to Pontardawe every Monday. Did the porter understand that the goods were to be left at the station till Monday ?— Yes. Continuing, he said the porter gave him the ticket for the parcel, and said he could give it up on Mondav morning. He never received the flannel afterwards. Two weeks later Mr. Beck told him to put his claim in, and complainant returned him the ticket. Cross-examined, he was quite sure there were no words written on the label. He had intended taking the parcel witk him in the carriage. He saw the porter put a label on, but could not remember what colour it was. He did occasionally travel by train, but that was the first time he had taken luggage. The conversation took place in the office, whence he was called by Mr. Beck. Did you not ask him whether they would j guarantee delivery if it was sent as a parcel ? -iNo. I did not. He made me come out to pay for it. Didn't you ask Mr. Beck whether you could take it as luggage?—No, I didn't. If I paid' for it, he said it could go. Didn't you say this was not ready with two others, and that you wanted it to go as luggage in order to keep an eyt on it?—No, 1 didn't. All he said was "come here and sign this." I had to do as he said. Are you afraid of Mr. Beck ?—Yes, a little bit, sir. (Laughter). Might it not have been the stationmaster you saw at Landore ? His Honour: You don't find a stationmaster at Landore attending to people with their flannels. (Laughter). | Had the train gone by the time you were writing this?—Were you there? (Laughter). Mr. Evans cross-examined complainant as to the identity of the porter, and witness re- plied he could not recognize the man with certainty. He was 5 feet ten, and dark com- plexion. (Laughter.) Re-examined, Mr. Beck did not draw his attention to anything in the paper he had signed. When you saw the stationmaster at Lan- dore a second time, did he make any sign ?- Yes, he signed to the porter like this (hold- ing his finger up.) Why ?—Because he was getting excited. (Laughter). atT' /SloTd Da!;i€1i- Llanybyther. said he saw Mr. Clarke on Saturday, September 24th and ?°n ?,utu' lth him at Landore, where Clarke told the porter to put the flannel in the cloak- 1 hough he # was standing near Clarke all the time he did not hear him ask the Borter how he should get to Pontardawe.

ILgtJ TkEGAKON. Church Council.—A meeting of the Church | Council was held in the Vestry oil February 20th, present: the Rev. D. iVi. Davies, B.A. (vicar), in the chair; Mr. Churchwarden Ev- ans and Messrs. David Davies (i^.S.), Joseph Edwards, Stephen Hughes, John Jones, L. T. Jones, and H. R. Roberts. After pray- ers, the minutes of the previous meeting were read and duly confirmed. Arising out of the minutes, the Vicar explained how mat- ters stood with regard to the negotiations with Mr. Rees Lewis, of Merthyr. on the subject of the church tower, and after some discussion it was unanimously resolved, upon the motion of Mr. Churchwarden Evans, seconded by Mr. J. Jones, "That Mr. Lewis be asked to come and inspect the tower and that a meeting of the Council be called during his visit to receive his report and decide what steps should be taken." The fact was then brought to the notice of the Council that Mr. C. W. LeBrun Powell, of Brynygog, had presented two English service books to the Church, one for use at the Vicar's desk, and the other at the Altar. These books were inspected by all present, and universally admired, and it was unani- mously resolved that a hearty vote of thanks be accorded Mr. Powell for his very hand- some gift of service books to the Church, and that a suitable letter of acknowledgment and thanks bj written him by the secretary. —The Vica- reported that Canon Williams was unable to come to Tregaron and hold a mission, owing to his being fully engaged for some collide able time to come. It had been hoped that this gentleman, who is well known aa a missioner to the congregation of St. C'aron's Church, would be able to hold a mission here as a means of deepening the work that recent revival meetings ° have started, but this seems impossible. After some general discussion, the Vicar was asked on the unanimous request of the Council, to communicate with the Rev. R. W. Owen, of Eglwys Oen Duw, and invite him to come and hold a short mission in the parish, selecting his own colleague or colleagues The Vicar stated that he had received offers of clerical a^istaAce in such a project from more than ?ect of the r"ri'°U/ £ parishes.—The sub- the Cemetery map was hi-ought for- vvard, and it appeared that some laxity had maD uDeVISTf°f T,6 the this ( .P.

De- fendant denied having touched the cob, but afterwards he admitted it, and expressed his reret for Ochor, said he was stand- ,OJl ^he roadside at Tregaron fair on the 4th of May, and saw Mr. Andrews poke the pony which plunged. It began to kick and luckily got its leg over the shaft or else he did not know what would have happened. He thought the pony was worth much more than thought that Mr. Andrews was not in love with the pony or else he would not poke it. He was with plaintiff again at Lam- peter fair, and corroborated what plaintiff had said.

John Morgan, Ystrad-dewi, said he met plaintiff at the Royal Oak, and was asked to take his horse out. Witness took it, but found it would not face the people. Witness went on its back, but as it would not go, he brought it back to the stable. Witness saw defendant speaking to plaintiff. who express- ed his regret at what he had done at Tre- garon, and said he would send him a new pair of shafts. Defendant gave evidence, and said he was a horse dealer, and he was with a company of twelve persons at Tregaron. He did not strike or attempt to strike the plaintiff's pony, as he was too far from it. He did not see the plaintiff before then, nor had he seen him since. He made no offer at all. It was a three-year-old pony, not broken in.—Cross- examined, defendant said he told a Mr. Mor- gan to settle the matter, so as to avoid his expenses to come to Lampeter. He did not send a telegram to Mr. Morgan to settle the case, but he might have told someone to do S°" u ? refused to give his name and address sis he had not done anything to the horse! He never saw the plaintiff at Dalis fair to ex- press his regret, nor to offer any new shafts or a settlement. Stephen Whittaker, Ardwick, said he at- tended the Iregaron horse fair on 4th May, and saw Mr. Andrews, and whilst speaking to Mr. Andrews an accident occurred. De- fendant did not strike the pony.

The Welsh Museum. CIRCULAR TO WELSH AUTHORITIES. Mr. Fitzroy, the Clerk of the Privy Coun- cil, has requested Sir Alfred Thomas, as Chairman of the conference of Welsh mem- bers and others authorised to draft provisions for the setting up in Wales of a national museum and a national library, to obtain particulars as to (1) the amount of support that is offered both to the original founda- tion and to the future maintenance of the institutions by the local authorities and in- habitants of the several places which may be suggested, and (2) the contributions that may be expected from local sources either in land, money, or buildings towards the cost from the promoters of the scheme, a state- ment for the uae of the Privy Council Com- mittee, and a statement setting forth as fully as possible all the information that is available for the purpose under the above- mentioned headings. In accordance with this request the chairman and the secretaries of the Conference have issued the following circular:— National Museum and National Library in Wales. The Committee of the Privy Council ap- I pointed by the Lord President to arbitrate in the establishment of a national museum and national library in Wales request the conference of the Welsh members with other gentlemen whom the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer authorised to draft provisions for the setting up in Wales of the aforemen- tioned national institutions to forward to the said Committee of the Privy Council pro- posals from local authorities in Wales in ac- cordance with the conditions hereunto an- nexed:—1. The place at which each of the two institutions should be established, hav- ing special regard to the amount of support which is offered both to the original founda- tion and to the future maintenance of the in- stitution by the local authorities and in- habitants of the several places which may be suggested. 2. The probable cost of erecting and of maintaining the institutions. 3. The contributions which may be expected from local sources either in land, money, or build- ings towards the above-mentioned cost. 4. The constitution of the trust of governing body which should be appointed to manage the institutions if established. The Conference invite such proposals to be sent under seal on or before the 1st of May, 1905, addressed to Sir Alfred Thomas, M.P., and the secretaries of the Welsh National Museum and Library Conference, House of Commons; for transmission to the National Museum and National Library in Wales Com- mittee of the Privy Council. With regard to the terms of reference the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord Bal- four of Burleigh agree that the contributions that may be expected from local sources, include gifts and the donations in the way I of books, manuscripts, and other additions necessary to the proper establishment air! equipment of a Welsh national library." CARDIFF'S GREAT EFFORT. Cardiff's bid for selection as the site of the Welsh National Museum and Welsh National Library is an attractive one. The Treasury's grants towards such institutions will be made only "if sufficient local support be forthcom- ing, and according to the terms of reference the Committee of the Privy Council will doubtless select the town or towns which can make the best offer. As a result of the ac- tion of the Parliamentary Sub-committee, the Welsh Museum Committee, and the Free Libraries Committee, the Cardiff Council are now in a position to make the following de- finite offei- For the National Museum: A two-acre site in Cathay's Park, value £10,000; a grant towards the building of L13,500, the pro- duct of a half-penny rate for maintenance per annum of £ 2,000, and the whole contents of the Cardiff Municipal Museum. For the National Library: A two-acre site in Cathay's Park, value 1:10,000, towards maintenance per annum £ 1,000, and the whole contents of the Reference Library and the valuable Welsh Library, now the pro- perty of the Corporation, and the Salisbury Library at the University College. It is hoped that this offer may be supple- mented by a sum of at least £50,000 to be raised by public subscription. Towards this sum The Mackintosh of Mackintosh has al- ready offered £ 2,000, and other equally large donations will shortly :)e announced. I

on the platform and not on a trolley. It was the usual practice for Hunt to take these wiS' hVaPS rf for each to the Great Western Railway Company. Cross-examined, he had not known Clarke before meeting him in the train. When he wrote "c/o Hunt, Pontardawe," he remem- bered that the words "passenger to Landore" were written on. He did not notice a com- pany's label on the back of Clarke's label. The bale was on the platform, and it was he who suggested the name of Hunt. Clarke asked the porter to take the parcel to the parcel office or cloakroom, but they did not wait to see it put there. They returned some time afterwards and found the parcel was gone. He did not remember him showing the porter any paper, all he said to him being that he was to put the parcel in the cloak- room. Re-examined, he himself sometimes allow- ed his parcel to be left in the cloakroom, but often left it on the platform, always getting it afterwards. His Honour: You are a lucky man. Witness said it was the custom when Hint came to Pontardawe for flannel dealers to pay him the 2d. and also the carriage from Landore. Charles Hunt, Pontardawe, said his father and he acted as carriers to all the fairs at Pontardawe from Landore. If parcels came by passenger train he got them from the cloakroom, and generally paid the company 2d. for them. He took twenty parcels on Monday from the cloak room, but did not re- ceive Mr, Clarke's parcel. About half-past eight at Pontardawe he saw Mr. Clarke, and when he retarned to Landore at eleven o'clock he enquired of the parcels' man for the bale. This man said he could find nothing. Frederick David Beck said he had been stationmaster at Newcastle Emlyn since the railway came then- When Clarke came to the station he saw he had a bale. He wanted to have it at Pontardawe by the following Monday, and to book it as parcels to that place. Asked whether he could guarantee delivery by that day, witness replied lie could not and then he asked if he could take it as personal luggage, his reply being that he could if he paid for it. He did not book it as a parcel, but Clarke signed a consign- ment note. Do you generally sign a consignment note for personal luggage ?—No,not bona fide per- sonal luggage. Some examination ensued as to the under- taking the company gave, but His Honour said this was a question for argument. Mr. Evans could only get from the witness what was really done. Cross-examined, he told Mr. Clarke that he could not guarantee delivery the next Monday if it was sent as a parcel. Clarke then asked if he could take it as luggage, and he replied he could if he paid for it. He paid for it as luggage, at his own risk. Clarke said he wished to take it on his own risk, as it would be cheaper. He did not go to the train until he paid the charge and got his ticket. They booked it as personal lug- gage to accommodate him. If it were booked as a parcel, he would not have any authority to touch his parcel on the platform. This was the plaintiffs case. Thomas Davies, porter at the Newcastle Emlyn station, said he remembered Clarke bringing a bale on the Saturday just before the departure of the one o'clock train. He was asked to label it to Landore, and he did so, noticing on complainant's own label the written words "passenger to Landore." He put it in the van, labelled as passenger lug- gage. Cross-examined, he had taken parcels from the parcel office to the train, the difference being that parcels and passenger's luggage were put in different vans. He had been a porter for five months. Thomas Brice, shunter at Landore said on Saturday 24th, the north mail arrived at 4 p.m., at which time he was standing near the sttionmaster;s office. Clarke came there saying he had a parcel at the other end, and would like it placed in the cloak room. Wit- ness told him he had no time to attend to him then, and Clarke walked away. Cross-examined, he could not say whether Clarke spoke to any other porter. Mr. R. W. Picton Evans then addressed His Honour, submitting that the case was governed by that of Firth v. the North East- ern Company, where it was held in the case of luggage travelling by the same train as the owner, that the liability oi the company ceased after a reasonable time had been al- lowed the owner to get his parcel. He sub- mitted that the reasonable time had elapsed because Mr. Clarke exercised ownership over his parcel by giving orders to a porter to place it in the cloakroom at Landore. Ad- dressing the jury, Mr. Evans said Clarke was grossly negligent in leaving his parcel on the platform and not seeing that it was taken to the cloakroom himself. Mr. Roy Evans said that after Mr. Clarke had paid 2s. 8d. for the carriage of his parcel, the Great Western Railway Company were now trying by artifices and subtle arguments to prove that he was not entitled to what that payment did assure him. The agree- ment entered into, he contended, was to convey from parcels office to parcels office, and in that case it never reached its destina- tion at all. He quoted the House of Lords decision in the case of Messrs Bunch against this company, where it was laid down that the journey commenced at the moment when a porter receives the luggage at the station and did not end until it was placed in the cab outside the station. Concluding, he felt bound to say that the Great Western Rail- way Company was notorious for fighting claims. His Honour: What! (Laughter). Summing up, Judge Bishop said the jury would find that the parcel was carried as passengers luggage. A parcel must be taken to the parcels office to be booked, but if it was luggage it was paid for as excess lug- gage, and that was done in this case. They would also find whether the parcel was car- ried to Landore—the plaintiff himself had seen it there—and also whether it was de- livered to the plaintiff, in regard to which they had the fact that he exercised owner- ship at Landore. After retiring the jury found that the con- tract was to carry bale as parcels, that it was carried to Landore, but was not delivered to plaintiff, who however did ask the company's servant to put it into the cloakroom. They therefore found for the plaintiff for R15 12s 2d. Mr. Picton Evans asked for leave to ap- peal, but His Honour replied that if he asked for the verdict he would give that, with power to the plaintiff to move. Mr. Picton Evans: I ask for that, your Honour, with costs. Judge Bishop: I shall find for the defend- ant's with costs. Mr. Roy Evans asked and was given leave to appeal.
