RHYL COUNTY COURT.
RHYL COUNTY COURT. SEQUEL TO MOTOR CAR COLLISION. RECTOR SUES FOR DAMAGES. INTERESTING LOCAL CASES. This court w-a-i held on Friday, before his Honour Judge .\102s. "A FirfHY BUSIIsESS." At the last St. Assiph Court a labouring man w>at> .iUv-d for the dum oi Jt,2 78 4d, alleg-ed to be due to a travelling draper, who in turn ban riigiiA-d t.h,0 liwbt to aiK.wier party. W nen the defendant's wife appeared to answer the tjuminjons she said she was willing to pay if the pertion lo whom she originally owed the money would return her a. ring worth 30s, which he had taken away to be repaired. The case was adjourned ill ordfer that the woinan migiit oommunioate with the man as to the return of the ring, or to bring a oounter-elaim. When the case was now called she was not present., and judgment was entered against her husband. However, she appeared in court later, and stated that she was at the door, and did not know the ease was called. Asked by the Registrar if the ring had been returned site replKd that it had not, and that the letter written to the man had come back. The Registrar said it was a fishy buiiinees altogether, and it seemed etrange that the man who held the ring and had assigned his debt to another {>erson could not be found. The defendant should have co'jnter-claimed, as sho was told. As the defendant admitted owing the money he could do nothing for her, but if the plaintiff knew the address of the man who held tbe ring he should assist the defendant. He had ordered delVrtdant to pay 4s per month. The woman declared that she could not pay -Is per month, as slie had a family of sixteen, tii toon of wliom were at borne, and her hus- band only received 18s per week. The Registrar said that under the circum- stances he would reduce the order to 2s per month, and defendant should sue on a oounter-cLaim for the value of the missing ring. "AN ORDER FOR A CHEQUE." In a case in winch a defendant was tmed for X2 10s, Mr Gemlin, for the plaintiff, stated titst be understood 2s per month wae off. Plaintiff said she bad a letter from the defendant in whick he said ho was expecting to complete a mortgage every day, and as soon as it was through he would send her a cheque. Mr Gtunlm Well, we'll take an order for a cheque in 14 days (laughter). ADDED TO HIS RESPONSIBILITY. When a labouring man was asked why he could not pay more than 2tJ a month, winch he had oliened in respect of a &ebt for board and lodging, be wmarked that he only earned 1Sa e week, and had now married a 1vidow witb six chiidB&n (laughter). Mr Pierce Lewis If you undertake suc,i re- sponsibiiitios on ISs a week: you can afford to pay yoirr debts (laughter). There was a furtbex outburst of laughter when it was stated that not only had the de- fendant Biarriea a widow with six children, but that she was the owner of six donkeys, which plied for hue on the sands. Mr Pi-eroo Lewis: And the donkeys have had a good season, so that ISs a wock is not Lho sum total of the xaas's earnings. An otder of 5s per month was made against tbe defendant. TRADESMEN AND DETAILED ACCOUNTS. Mr Gamlm xieferned to the case in which liooeo and Co., Rhyl, claimed 19s against a boarding-houss keepea*. Tie elaim was in respect of unretaiu-ed jars and bis- cuit tins, but tbe defendant contended that he W;&s iniiibio to cl>t-ck the acoouiit "without full particalax8. Mr Roose said lie had offered to show his books. The Regi&trax: Too defendant aeks for further and better particulars, and you arc bound to supply them. STORY OF A PAIR OF BOOL'S. Mr RicJuaad Williams, bootanabetr, Higb- stuieefc, Rhyl, sized Mr Soyle, I'^caryxi, lor tbe sum of Jl 5s Sd i'or boots supplied. Mi' Pocroe Lewis stated that 128 Gd had been lUõÏd by the deiendant's daugihtex for boots supplied to her on her father's order, and so that reduood tbe claim. Deton*Lant alleged that the boots be was supjAied with were not waterproot. On the otiair band plaintiff maintained that the boots were all right mrtil defendant placed them too near the fine to dry, and they were scoscbed. He had done his best to meet de- fendant, and realising that there had been an accident he allowed him 6s 9d off a new pair of boots. The Registrar said he was satisfied that tbe debt was due, and plain tiff said be would not be hard on the defendant, and offered to accept the debt at -is per month. ABERGELE WITNESS' FINE REMITTED. Tho Itegi-strax asked bis Honour for in- structions AS to the fine of ^81 imposed on 3iis Parry, of Abergele, who had failed in the first instance to att--ud oz a witness in answer to her subpoena. She, however, did eventually put in an appe-aranoe. The Judgie said be did not think tha.t the coste of the adjournment should fall on the parties, and while be would remit Mrs Parry's fine ftbe would haw to pay the costs of the adjournment necessary through her failing to appear. COMPENSATION CASE WITHDRAWN. The Registrar said he had been aaked to go through an "greeinemt in a workman 's com- pensation from Abergele (John Hughes and Robert Jones), but the agreement had now been withdrawn. The Judge said that he had nothing further to do with the matter in that case, but it was well the parties should understand that by withdrawal matters were not finitbed with. The Registrar said he understood that the insurance company was paying the mail a weekly sum, but he wanted the capital, wbicb tlie oompany oeciined to pay in a lump sum. The Judge: It might be wiss to protect- workmen against tbsmaeiv-cs. MOTORS IN COLLISION. RECTOR SUES FOR DAMAGES. A case in which oonswierable interest was taken waa that in which tbe Rev. Thomas Jenkins, rector of St. George, Abergele, sued Mr Edward Wood head, of Andover, Cheeter- beld, for recovery of the sum of £ 29 0s 6d for damag^eti to has motor oar through the alleged negligence of tbe defendant's driver. There was a oounter^daim for £ 7 Ite ad, also for agiei-,ed Mr F. J. Gamlin appealed for tbe plamtiff, and Mr Ellis Jones Gnmtii, M.P. iinstructed by Mr Johnson, Ruthm), appeared for the defendant. Mr Gamlin aaid that the plaintiff was an experienced motorist, and had driveai eoiae 3000 in a little over twelve months. On May 34th, shortly attser five o'clock, he was driving from St. George to Rhyl, acoom- panied by his wife, Mie Cole Bo wen (a sister-ai-law), and Miss Rowland Ihomas (a couscsii. He proceeded at a very slow pace down hill from St. George towards the Toad which crossed by the Smithy in the direction of St. Asaph and Abergele. For a distance of 80 yards he sounded Ills born, but heard no other Sorn sounded. Ae he reached the cross roads he saw the defendant's motor ap- proaching from St. A*aph at, it w^,s allege^ a tenific speed. Realising that if be at- tempted to cr<oa* the ro;ul he would be struck broadside on, and a calamity would fol'ow pontiff swerved to tbe kft in the direction of Abergeie. He had not gone very far he m overtaken by the defendant's tnotOT, which struck the side of his car and such waa the spjoed at which it was travelling that dolcn-aant s car west on some 15 yards and then turned half-way round. The im- pact was also so great that the plaintiff's car was lHoowlge turned round in the same direction. Plaintiff conskksred that the de- fendant's caT was traveling about 30 mike an ur. After the ool-liskMi plaintiff saw the chau- ffew-, and a^ked why he had driven at such a epeed past such a corner, and added that was aimply crawlinp- the road The Only reply he then hed was a question ati to why he did not stop if he was simply crawling. To that Plaintiff answered that ne did the best for both care to aave calamity. Some of the occupants of the car afterwards bad a conversation with Mrs Jenkims amd her cousin, telling them that they had come from Essex, but had seen so many danger signs where there wiis scarcely any necessity for them that they did not take much notice of those they èlQW on this iMoci. they also said they considered that the sign at this c-onier was too insignificant for such a dangerous corner. Tbe repairs to the car cost »K29 i/s tkl.

Plaintili v-e evidence in support of his solicitor's statement, adding that he the rfcad about three times a week, and so knew of its dangers. When he spoke to the occupants of the car they said he had never sounded his hooter. Continuation of Motor Collision Ca.se— In cross-examination plaintiff said h-e oon- sudexed he -■ travellixig at the rate of six to seven miies an hou.r, but did not think that the fact that he sounded his horn for 80 yards would prevent him bearing the oth-ar oaa- coming. His car was running very quietly. Counsel suggested tbat it was plaintiff's cor wnieh run into tbe dexeaid-ant's, but plaintiff said toat was not so. He was strtiek en tbe side, and bad his baclv to the other cur. In reply to oth-ar questions, the plaintiff sa11<1. tt-e chauffeur did not say tbat he (plaintiff) had lost control of his oar. The chauffeur eventually did btap plaintiff. J Li DGINCr SPEED AND DISTANCE. MrB J on kins gave eoriobor-arfcive evidenoe, and said that the ■clefe>&d-Sint's chauffeur denied that he was scorching, adding that plaintiff was doing so. Cr<x»-esamired My buabaawi was calm, and so was 1. i did make a remark that I would have boerf glad bad their car been moae damaged, as the obaaaJettr was very abusive until he was told that my husbaud was rec- tor of the parish in which the oc- curred. The chauffeur did help toO get platn- tiff's car out of tbe afterwards. Counsel; He was firüt atmsive in laaaguago, but useful in assistance? (lAugbiar)-—\es. Was it after this you expressed this Chris- tiiui vvishr (laughter)—Before tbat. Miss Roa-ktad Tbomas, Rhyl, was called in support of plaintiff's statemeirt, and when she g it roe the distaaee the sarae as the other witnesises, oounsel esp roamed surprise th,&t they should all agree on these points, and asked if they had discussed them. Witness They did not weed discuss ion. Counsel: I know that, but ladies often dis- cuss things which need no discussion (laugh- ter). h The Judge: If I had been in such a motor accident it is lJJ'obGbl.J I should hav.e dis- cussed th-Sta caeh jft-omiHg over the .break- fast table (laughter). In cross-examination witness said she be- lieved she heard plaintiff say that he was not insured, and tbat it would fall heavily on him. Counsel: Did you hear Mrs Jenkins express the- The Judge; Pious hope (laughter). Counsel; Or Christian re-rct--(Iaightcr,- that your car had not been more damaged? Witness; Yes. fØ ° Counsel: But of course tbat was not abu- at all, but Aas said in a pleasant way (laughter). 9 1 J Witness: It was after the chauffeur was abusive to us. Mrs Cole Bo wen (Mrs Jenkins' sister) was called, and saad tbat tlie other car was "tearing akffig." Continuing, she said the ra. matter had been talked over and that they agreed as to the distances. Coanacl: It was agraed to unanimously (laughter). Wetre you the prime originiotot of th-e 80 yar&?-No, my sister was too ori- ginator, caud- o Counsel; Of course you corroborated • (laughter). qu witness added tltat it was not until after the chauffeur had said erndacted rudely that hex sister remarked ttlAt she was sorry the defen«iarni.'a car was not more damaged. Piirtber evidemce was given by Miss Han- anii Da vies, St. George, and Robert John Jones, Rboslan, St. George, and plans of the scene of the accident were produced and proved by Mr W. J. Simcoek, architect and surveyor, Rhyl. The plaintiff was recalled, and examined as to the account for repairs which Mr PiN-t, The Garage, Abergele, had sent in. He said his car was a new one twelve months ago, and fut < £ S 10s was put down im the bill fox depreciation and loss of of tbe- car for two woe&a. DEFENDANT'S CASE. Defendant's case was then opened, and the first witness called was Mr Rioe Jones, who proved certain plans. The chauffeur, Jcffors, said he was travel- ling at the rate of 20 miles an hour on reaching the danger signal, but he reduced the speed to 10 or 12 males as be came to the cross-roads. He was level with the cross- roads when he saw tbe plain tiff's car, which was travelling at about the same spaed as his own. PLaoitiff's car was about 15 yards from him. He swerved to the right to get out of plaintiff's way, but plaintiff's car struck him in the centre, and the two cars turnod round with their beads pointing to- wards St. George. After the collision be spoke to the plaintiff and asked why he crossed the roads as be did, and plamtiff asked why he (witness) went so fast. Then there were socae personal remarks between the ladies and the occupants of the car. Wit- ness asked for plaintiff's number, and after some hesitation plaintiff said he wouid also take the number of the other car. After do- ing some repairs witness wont to plaintiff's car, and pointed out to him that it was in gear and the brakes were not on, so that plaintiff must have loet control of his car. He heard plaintiff say he was not insured and that it would be hard on him. Witness alleged that it was tbe front of plaintiff's car which was damaged. The b&ek wheel on the off side was all old one and punctured. In reply to the Judge, plaintiff here eaid that his caa: was a new one when he pur- chased it, end that the back wheel wes d;3, maged. The two off side wheels were da- maged, and not the two front ones. In croes-examination, the ohauffeur denied that lie beard mtiíf sound his born, but be (witness) sounded his horn once, about ten yards away from tbe csross-roads. Replying to his Honour, witness said he could not see any car to cause him to pull up. He accounted for the accident by the fact that the front wheel of plaintiff's car could easily liave swerved out before the car "a&Uy titmed, thereby dam-aging defen- dant's car HI the centre. In reply to Mr G-aralin, the witness said the party had driven from Buxton that day. but rn the e^r were gentlemen who i, <«?eu in Efesex. They had called -at Holywell on tb-o way. R. Le-wis Mortimer, of Cbelmsford, said plaintiff's ear came straight at tbe otber, the near front wheel oatching them on a slight angle. Wm. Good Lmdcll, another occupant of the car, also corroborated. For the defence Mr Ellis Jones Griffith contended that the deiendant's story was mo^e cont with the position of the cars I afteir the accident. Both cars after the col- lision turned in a right and proper direction towards St. George (laughter). The Judge said there was such a conflict of evidc-noo that he felt that the only j>er«on who could help him Y^-ejs Mr Pierce," who re- paired the car, as he could have described the position of tbe injuries to tbe plaintiff's car, and be wouid like to bear him. It was then doc-ided to adjourn the ease for a month, and in the meantime the Regis- trar will cafl Mr Pierce as a witness iox the court. CLAIM BY A SISTER-IN-LAW. I Miss Ellen DA vies, 121, Wellington-road, Rayl, sued Mr T. F. Hopkins, Heskeiii Araus Hot-el, Abergele, for recovery of .£39 4s, be- ing wa^ee alleged to be due to ber. Mr J. Pierce Lewis appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr GamKn for the defendant, who denied liability. It was stated that the plaintiff, who was a sister of the defendant's first wife, had been engaged by the dof-emda-nt and his wife as a barmaid at the Dudley Hotel, Rhyl (of winch hotwo defendant was formerly licensee), and had Deceived 58 per week. Afterwards defen- dant removed to Abergele, and plaintiff there helped, but was not paid. Subsequently she went to the isle of Man as a housekeeper, receiving 10s per week. While there defen- dant telegTapii-ed and wrote for her to re- turn to as her sister was ill. She returned, and took charge of the household arrangements at the Hesketh during her sis- ter's -illness, receiving 9s per week. The sis- ter paid tho wagas up to the time of her death, and when plaintiff afterwards spoke to defendant about what was due to her for subsequent services-he said he could not pay jiliit then, but would abortly settle up. She was takon ill at the Hesketh, and defendant said she must leave. She did leave, and wrote to the dûfendant for the inouer due to her, but got no reply, On Mr Pierce Lewis writing defendant replied that he had paid plaintiff all he owed her for services at the Dudley Hotel, Rhyl. Plaintiff in cross-examination denied that she was merely in the LLeaketh Arms Hotel as her sister's friend and guest. She alleged she did all the coo king and washing for ninny months. A witness named Annie Jones, who had been employed at tlie Hesketh, was called, and she g-aid that plaintiff did not do all the ,ai cooking and washing, but was away for months a-t a time. Charles Mcdt-a,f, commercial traveller, said plaintiff had been his housekeeper, and had left to take charge of her sister's home at the Hesketh. He had v -itc-d the hotel and itnew plaintiff did all the cooking and wash- in £ i>efendant gave c,, complete denial to the piauitifT s story. He said he never paid her a penny wages after she went to the Hesketh, as sbe wae *oae of the family, came and went "-when she liked, and did what she liked. His wi>.» aiev-e-r paid her wages, but he had given her £ 2 when she woe leaving for what she had dooofm his wife. He had a full staff of servants, who did whatever was wanted. Plaintiff was a guest and member of the family. He also denied that she r written to him for money. His Honour gave j u-dgment for defendant with costs. A MGSTYN TRADESMAN'S CLAIMS. John Wynne, grocsr, Halendy, Momid-n, sueing under power of attorney of his -aster, M. Prit- chard (formerly Wynne), ii-,te of Rhuddian, sought to recover from a RhuddLaji man uamed Thomas Jones the sum of S55 133 4d for goods supplied. Mr E. 8. Scott appeased for the plain- tift, woo produced a large number of books to prove tlie transactions with defendant. prove tlie transactions with defendant. Mrs Jones, wife of deefnefaaxt, said she did not know how much her husband owed, but she stoutly denied that anything like FLIS was owing. His Iioiiour gave plaintiff a verdict fur ga.

My legs atso swelied a great deal. There was always a deal cf pain and soreness with this dry ecxema, as I understood it was. I tried maey cheap ointments and other re- medies, but for over twenty years I was never free fr-offii the nasty erupti ons.

He had asked for work when leaving Knntsford Prison, tut be- cause he argued religion with the chapUrn he told that they had finished with him It was all very well for Christians to preach, but half of them did not practice what they laugtit.

The Board theta proceeded to consider the question of increasing the a<xx>nim-csdaiiion at the workbou&e, more particularly with the view to provkfad further sick-ward aooouanodaticai. ra ac'oo Tlloe Clerk said this was a very im.portant question, audi tho ljooal Go-yerrwnem Board had at last taken am active step with the vicrff to compelling tbo guardians to move in vise natter. They bad sent clown an inspector, wiao was ac- coinsjanied by an architect, and these geeAie- meai had convinced tbeanaelvea and the few guardians who met them, thai the woridwuse as it now stoodi, could not b& altered. It was okl-fashioned aeid out of date, and the officials already mentioned had no hesitatioil in recomf- mendmg the provision of a new Infirmary at a.:1. estimated cost of £ 3,500. A rougSi plan had beem sent down for the befKjfit of the guardians, arad it was understood that the Infomary oouid œ erected tin the adjoining garden, to be oownec- ted with the female side of the workhooae by a passage. Replyaig- to a question, the Clerk said the Local Governmeiat Board miggesfced' an P.Iternate sofoeme for the election of a ohiJ.dcen's hoene, ajso In the adjoinin-g lield, and tliis was estima- ted to c<>st £ 1,050, but thaw were quite satis- fied to aliow this scheme to t £ a.:id ever, with the- j view of prooee<Miig with the erection of the Iirfinmary. It W1;\6 also suggested thai, plans, designs, etc., should bo invited bv tender and premiums offered. A icng di«jueaon ensued, in the course of which the Clerk statetl that the cost of the In- firmary would inoaii a i-atc- of Igd' in jlic £ per aceman for a ixsrwxl of 30 years. Mr T. O. Jones (Narstehvyd) suggbed the buikluxg of a smaikr Infirmary, and wished to know whether that ooukIJ be done. The Clerk: I don't think the 'I.ozal Govern- m-ciat Board wwild allow you to make a ixftser- abie job of it. Eventiiafly it was decided to proceed with the erection of an Infirmary, and to invite def»:gr», plans, etc., by tender and to offer two premiums of 20 and 10 gukieas.
