Before the Registear, at the Con way County Court, on Thursday, A-rthur H. Hughts, of Chaster, formerly manager of Mrft?rs David Jones and Co., motor car owners, Colwyn Bay, claimed the stun of X,6 10s, which he alleged wes du-e to as arrciars of wages. —Mr Hughes appeared in person, a^rd Mr Francis Nunn (Meesa's Nunn and Co., Colwyn Bay) defended. Air liughas said he had been in the f v~vice of Messrs David Jones and Co. for about four em,d a hilf y,ars. In th-o swini-L-T oi' Ic,'07 hiii wagc,?s wN,e -ra; d to Vi.,rty-fil-e '&c -v?xf--k. In Nov-e.intoor, of ti?,c, Sal-inD Mr Jones asked him to take thirty ehiMnga peir week for the winter, and he would make -it up to him by paying forty shillings a week during the summer. He agreed to tliis, as Mr Jones wished toeco,-iomis, He reg-arded it as ao-ndjig five shillings a. week during the winter, which was to bo repaid him 1m, the sumnneir. M'r Nunn: Do you mean to say that Mr Jones would want to borirow five shillings a week from an assistant? it. Mr Hughes: rrhat is the way I looked at Mr Nunn In what way would it benefit Mr Jones if he had to pay up arreans in the summer ? MT Jones said thait in Novembdr of 1907 he told Hugh.es he could not k«ep him on unless ho agreed to take lower wages, amd he agi-ec-d to pay him thirty shillings in the winter and £2 in the summer. With regard to some additions in the wages book about arrears in cs Mlr Jovcts --?a;d th?ev oou-d laot havc. b,-en put'im ur-ti'l -,Ormo tim-o a?tewwa-rda or ho -w,)uid have Tiot?i(!,ed thtm at ouc??, Is it tva., he bad n?Dt, a,?ot',ced &omo of thtm jrlt?;,l t I ,b,13I summer of 1908, when lie partly 'erased them, with his knife, and told H ughes there ""<1:" av> agreement of that sort. Hughes left hi.m at the beginning of the summer of If>G9, and surely .if there had been any agreement he should haw stayed on for the summer, in which case he would have got forty shiClin^s a week, and there would have been no occasion for dispute. The Registrar said that there had been great cameie&snieas on boith sides in not having a proper understanding between them. Under* the ccrcumstances Jie would have to <riVo •judg- ment for Messrs Jones and Co., but without costs.
