Mr. T. Jones, instructed by Mr. Charles, of Neath, was for plaintiff, and Mr. Abel Thomas, instructed by Messrs. Price and Lloyd, of Lampeter, were for defendant. After a lengthy hearing, the jury came to the conclusion that there was negligence on both sides, and that defendant should pay JE25.

Hugh Lloyd v. John Lewis.-This was an action which had been referred to arbitration. Mr. T. Lloyd Ed- wardes appeared for the plaintiff, and applied that the award of the arbitrators should be made a rule of Court. His Honour said that it was not necessary that any application should be made to him, and that the award should be delivered to the registrar, who would enter it as the judgment of the Court. Mr. D. Lloyd was for defendant. John Jones v. Morgan Jones.-The plaintiff claimed £27 4s. 9d. for money paid by him for the defendant. Mr. H. Hughes, jun., Aberystwyth, was for plaintiff. and Mr. D. Lloyd for defendant. It appeared that the particulars of plaintiff's claim were defective, and Mr. Hughes applied that it be amended.

Ultimately, his Honour amended the particulars and adjourned the case to the next Court. Richard Hughes v. Daniel James and Morgan Jones.- This was a claim for £13 14s. for money paid by the plain- tiff as the surety of the defendants.—The plaintiff con- ducted his own case.

Williams, deceased.Mr. Edwardes was for plaintiff, and stated that at the last court the plaintiff obtained judgment against the defendants quando acciderint. He had applied to the Registrar for a warrant of execution, but it was refused by him.—His Honour said the Registrar was quite right in refusing the warrant.—Mr. Edwardes then applied for an order that execution should issue, but inasmuch as he could not show that assets of the deceased had come to the hands of the defendants since the judgment, his application was refused with costs.—Mr. D.
