ACKNOWLEDGING A DEBT.—Messrs Hugh and Pierce Jones, Pwllheli, sued John Roberts, Wern, Nevin, for Cll 10s 6d, for goods sold and delivered. Mr A. Ivor Parry was for the plaintiffs, and Mr O. Robyn-s Owen for the defendant. The debt was over six years old, but the de- fendant had subsequently acknowledged it in writing. Judgment for the plaintiffs. CRICCIETH COUNCIL v. WILLIAM EDWARDS.—Mr John Humphreys, on behalf of the Urban Council of Criccietb, sued Mr WilPPtm Edwards, Sefton House, Cricouth, for the non-payment of i.4 ground rent, and 10s district rate. Mr Humphreys said that the Council had cer- tain property vested in them under the Criccieth Local Act. Part of the property was rented to Robert Poberts, who as- signed it to William Edwards, the present defendant. A previous summons was is- sued against the defendant on the same grounds, but the amount claimed was paid. —The def<ndant had a counter-claim.—Mr Humphreys quoted a section of the Act in which no action could be taken unless com- menced within ix months from the date the debt was contracted.—His Honour ruled agajin^t the counter-claim, which he al- lowed to be withdrawn.—Judgment for the plaintiff. RIGHTS OF HIGHWAY.—CLAIM FOR THE LOSS OF A MARE.—R. J. Griffith, Belle Vue, Sarn, claimed the value of a mare, which had met with a fatal accident at Sarn through the alleged negligence of defendant, Robert Jones, Bronphilip, Bo- twnog. Mr H. Lloyd Carter, Carnarvon, was for the claimant, and Mr Cledwyn Owen for the defendant. It was alleged that the shaft of defendant's trap penetra- ted the body of the plaintiff's which died in consequence. The value of the mare was put at £ 20, and the expenses at JB7 10s.—Claimant said that on October 30th last the mare and a spring cart were out with goods. He put the cart, with a. lighted lamp, at the side of the shop, and took the mare past the shop, which was lit up, towards the stable. He saw a trap coming towards him, and called out to the driver to stop. Had he taken the mare in- to the road she would have been more in the way of the traffic, and therefore he led her along the side. The shaft struck the mare near the groin, and she swerved round. Somebody took hold of Jones's horse. The mare got free somehow or other. The rgad was about 8 yards wide. The mare was within a yard and a half of the wall, but her hind part was more in the road than her head. When Griffith saw blood com- ing out of the wound, he cried out Robert Jones, you have bled her." Jones took no notice, and went on. Every effort was made to save the mare's life. Two veterin- ary surgeons attended her. Plaintiff went to see Jones, and asked him to come and see the mare. He promised to come on the Monday, but did not. When the mare died a letter was sent to Jones, who came to the shop, when the plaintiff's boy told him that he had killed the mare. The de- fendant said that the mare had swerved towards him. Complainant replied that she swerved after she was struck.—Cross- examined The night was dark and dirtv. Drivers kept to the left on the -road. He kept by the side of his shop.—Mr Owen contended that a man when leading a horse ought to be between the animal and a pass- ing vehicle, and not between the animal .and the hedge.-Plaintiff (continuing) said that a jockey had told him that it was no matter which side to lead the horse,-it de- pended which was the safer of the two.— Mr Owen: The jockey has made a rule of the road for you.—Plaintiff: His shop was lighted up like other shops. The mare was P", not restive, and she was not hipped. He would not have taken £ 30 for her. It would be absurd: to offer him ;C5.-Robert Wil- liam Griffith said that the trap did net stop until the shaft had penetrated the body of the mare, though R. J. Griffith shouted several times to the driver to keep clear or stop.—John Evan Jones, a boy, corrobo- rated.—Cross-examined The plaintiff had spoken to him about the case, and had asked him to speak t'he- truth (loud applause in Court).-Wi11iam Owen, Melin y Sam, deposed to being in plaintiff's shop on the night in question. He saw the mare pass- ing the shop door, and heard Griffith shouting. R. Jones kept more to the side than to the middle of the road. Witness rushed to the head of the mare..—John Watkin. lrygarn, and Mr Hughes, veter- inary surgeon, gave evidence in support of the plaintiff's case. The defence was that the claimant was on the wrong side of the road, and on the wrong side of the mare. The first thing that Jones saw was the mare kicking at his horse. Jones had taken every precaution, and the plaintiff could not make a coach hou,, yard of the high- road. It was alleged that the hind Quar- ters of the mare were in the middle of the road. The rule. of the read must be ob- served.—His Honour asked for evidence of specific negligence.—Mr Carter said that the defendant went along the wrong side of the road.^—Robert Jones, for the de- fence, deposed that he was in the trap going home. He drove slowly. The accident occurred near plaintiff's stable. The first thing he saw was a mare turning suddenly across the road. The shop window was full of some goods. If he had kept to the left his car would have turned over, owine to the steepness of the place. The car did not jerk. He could not say he was in the middle of the road. The mare's side was the first thing he saw, right before the shaft. The rule was to lead a horse be- tween a passing car and the horse. There was no light from the window and the stable. He never imagined that anything serious had! occurred, and went home.- Cross-examined: He .stopped the trap when he found th. shaft had struck the mare. He would have crossed over the road with the mare, and crossed back again to ftp to the stable, if he had been the plain- tiff. He did not drive quickly. He had met with two other trap accidents before. T. M. Jones, Penvbont Hotel, Sam, said that the defendant drove at the rate of 4 miles an hour. He always kept on the left with his trap. If he were taking a horse from the shop to the stable he would take it along the right side, though the distance was only about 90 feet.—Judg- ment was for the defendant. A CLAIM FOR LAMBS.—Hush Ro- berts, Custom House square, Pwllheli, sued G. Cornelius Roberts, butcher, Pwll- heli, for the recovery of £ 74 13s 6d, amount due for lambs sold but not taken away. Mr William George was for the plaintiff, and Mr E. R. Davies for the de- fendant. Plaintiff gave evidence as to the sale of the lambs. Defendant did. not clear the lambs, find plaintiff Rpoke to him about it. The defendant promised to take them away. The lambs were removed to Crucran. at the request of the defendant. Claimant I said that he could not wait longer for the < money. Defendant never until now de- 1 nied that he had purchased all the lambs (lGO). Cross-examined: He never said that the lambs would weigh a.t 9ibs. a quarter.—Mr Davies said that the agree- ment was to buy all that would suit de- fendant's purpose, for which he had paid. -Pl,,tintiff All the lambs had been dropped in May. It was agreed that sheep only I should graze on the land. Cattle had since grazed there. The defendant was to take off the lambs as he required them. A pound a head was not high. Defendant never complained that he could not get sufficiently good lambs that season, and that he would have to go elsewhere for some. He could not say how much &uch lambs should weigh. Defendant did not complain in August that the lambs were I not good.—Owen Miles, who was in the service of the defendant last summer, said that he heard the parties making a bargain about lambs. They a";1Jf"i m to the price. I The defendant wanted sixpence each dis- count. He told the witness subsequently that he had agreed to buy the lambs.— Cross-examined He never told the defend- ant that be knew nothing abo :t the bargain other than what Hugh Robers had told him. He never heard any complaints about the quality of the lambs. He had left the defendant on good terms. He did not look at Hugh Roberts in Court. He had him in his head! (loud laughter). De- fendant bought Jambs from others.—The defendant stated that the terms of purchase were that he was to pay El each for the Iambs on condition that they would weieh at least 91bs. per quarter. SOlllP of the lambs were very small indeed. Plaintiff agreed to sell what would suit him (de- fendant). Owen Miles told him that he had heard customers complaining about the lamb he had sold them last year. De- fendant complained to the plaintiff about the condition of the lambs, and he pro- mised to remove them to another field. He told the plaintiff in the hearing of the wit- nesses that he would not take any of the lambs in the condition they were in at the time, and Hugh Roberts said that some of them were very poor.—Robert Roberts, another butcher in the employ of the de- fandanlt, corroborated. The la-mlls. were not marketable.—The case was tried by a jury, who found for the plaintiff.

Messrs Bostock and Co., Limited, sugar refiners, Liverpool and Garston, .on Fri- day filed a petition in the Chancery Court of Lancashire for the winding up of the company in consequence of the adverse de- cision in the Manchester Assize Court, when Messrs Hoi den and Co., brewers, t were awarded P,1980 damages.

rroposed Light Railway from 1 Pwllheli to Kevin. ¡ At, the Carnarvon Couuty Council, oil Thursday, Mr J. Jones-Morris (chairma i) presiding, a report was presented of the meeting of the Light Railways Committer on December 15th. As to the Pwllheli- Nevin-PorthdinEeyn Light Railway, Mr E. R. Davies, the solicitor for the promo- ters, stated that the new proposal would not affect the main roaids to the extent that the original scheme would have done, as it wag intended to buy lands so as to avoid laying the line on the roadway, so that the present scheme would be more costly. The Committee approved the project, appointed delegates to support it before the Light Railway Commissioners, and recommended, that a loan of JE7500 be granted to the pro- moters upon satisfactory guarantees being given by the Cambria,n Railways Company of their intention to construct and work the proposed line. Since the meeting the Light Railways Commissioners have held their inquiry and assented to the order. Deposited plans, &o., relating to the pro- posed railway from Portmadoc to Bedduel, ert and South Snowdon were also con- sidered by the Committee, who, subject to the substitution of a new bridge for a tim- ber one proposed to be crossed by the line and the provision of cross sections show'ng how the main roads would be affected, ap- proved of this scheme also. On the motion by Mr Issard Davies to confirm the decision of the Light Railways Committee to grant a loan of £ 7500 for the purpose of the light railway from Pwllheli to Nevin, the Lord Lieutenant fMr-J. E. Greaves) prod an addendum to the effect that the,loan be subject to the pro- visions of the Light Railways Act, and to the Cambrian Railway Company giving a binding and sufficient guarantee for the I regular and efficient working of the line and the payment of the interest. He did not move a negative because he felt con- vinced that the Council had made up A 's I mind to advance this .large sum of the rate- payers' money upon this undertaking. Last year the Council approved an undertaking I for a Jight railway between Pwllheli and Porthdinilleyn, which 'Was afterwards abandoned, because it was proved to be al- together impracticable. The present scheme was certainly a. very great improve- ment upon the scheme wh'ich was aban- doned, ,but it still, to his mind, retained some important and salient defects of the old one, for even the present one travelled along .portions of the highway, which it crossed and recrossed at various points, and it traversed curves and gradients which would render a speed of over 15 miles an hour inadmissible, while the line would ye totally unfit for adaptation at any time to the requirements of a. trunk line. Mr E.,R. Davies said the grant could only be subject to the Light Railways Act. Mr Greaves asked the Council not to be in a hurry to take action until they were satisfied those provisions could be complied with. There was another rcute which could be adopted without opposition, and to which every encouragement would be given. It would certainly (conduce much better than that now advocated to the interests of the oounty. He referred to the route adopted long ago by the Cambrian Rail- way Company from Porthdinlleyn to Pwdl- heli. He asked the Council to be cautious as to the security. There were promoters, it was true, but nobody knew: who they were. He would rather prefer the guar- antee of the Cambrian Railway Company to that of gentlemen whose names even he did not know. The projected line from Llan- dudno to Oolwyn Bay was an object-lesson in that matter. Although an order for the making of that was granted two years ago, not a pennyworth of the work had been done, and the concession was being hawked about the country for sale. Dr R. A. Pritchard and Lord Penrhyn put questions as to die security and as to the probability of a trunk line being made. The Chairman said that Mr E. R. Davies knew all the details and would explain. Mr E. R. Davies, who is the solicitor to the promoters, said there would be no loss at all in the matter, as the Railway Com- pD.ny would pay the interest and- sinking fund, which the Council would have to pro- vide, and as the line would cost £ 107,000 it was ample security for,a loan of £ 7500 upon it. The Council's loan and the Treasury loan (assuming one were made) would rank equally, no authority having priority ovsr the other. A representative of the Cam- brian Railway Company made a public de- claration that they had no intention to con- struct such a line as Mr Greaves had rc- ferred to, aind, further, that they were not I in a position to do so. It would be a Sine qua non that, before this order was granted, an undertaking must be given by the Cambrian Railway Company to con- struct a,rid work the line, and the directors. it was stated at the inquiry, had passed a unanimous resolution to work the line for a sum not exceeding 60.per cent of the revenue, so that there was an ample margin to meet the charges for loans. Mr Greaves said be was told the provi- sions of the Light Railways Act could not be applied by the promoters, and he would be astonished if the line were ever made. Mr E. R. Davies said arrangements were being made for getting the capital neces- sary for putting the line down. The wish was the father to the thought in the case of Mr Greaves, who had done his best to baulk the scheme. On the other hand, he (Mr Davies) felt confident that the scheme would soon become a reaiidfed fact. It was untrue that the Llandudno order was being hawked about, for the very promoters of the Pwllheli toO Nevin line had purchased it (laughter). That was one of the best proofs of the bona, fides of the people for whom he acted in the matter. Mr J. Menzies said the financial position of the line was chiefly that which the Coun- cil had to consider. Would 40 per cent. of the receipts be sufficient to pay the interest and sinking fund on the Treasury and th<j Council's loans, amounting to £ 15,000 ? He felt that the security must be good. The motion was then carried by a large majority.

| FOOTBALL. COMBINATION. BANGOH v. CHIRK. This match was decided at Bangor on Sat- urday, before a moderate, attendance and in overcast, but otherwise good, weather. Bob Roberts, the home captain, was an absentee, being under suspension, and Sam Roberts was his substitute, this being the only change in the constitution of the Bangor team. Fifteen minutes after the advertised time, Chirk opened hostilities, and within the first minute J. O. Jones was penalised for fouling. No advantage accrued, and T. Thomas essayed a run along the extreme right, but after neatly tricking several opponents, his final effort I went yards wide. Uninteresting ii-idtield play followed, and after Jimmy Jones un- successfully attempted to lower the visi- tors' colours, Wynne broke away, and play hovered dangerously close to the Bangor goal. This movement terminated with a terrific drive from Wynne, which Ted Owen, with considerable skuI, diverted, the ball eventually going behind. An aggre- sive movemeait by the visitors was suc- ceeded by a period of desultory play, both set of defenders indulging in long kicking. Wynne, with a splendid opportunity, shot behind. At length the home forwards broke away, and Dick Owen received a pass from R. Jones, and attempted to dash through the visiting defence. Being sadly hampered, however, by an opponent, he finished by shooting behind. A corner was gained by Bangor, and this was so well placed that the goalkeeper had to con- cede a second, which was cleared, and the visiting forwards reached the home goal by means of a pretty passing movement. Wynne sent in a shot which struck the crossbar, and this was followed by a more accurate centre, which Ted Owen cleverly saved. There was no mistaking the super- iority of the visitors at this stage, and the home goal escaped almost miraculously. Again the home forwards irdre given a chance, but faulty play by J. O. Jones resulted in one of the visiting backs trans- ferring the play to the Bangor end, where several exciting passages ensued. Two capital saves were effected by Ted Owen. The scene of operations was changed, but again thq home forwards were deficient, and after one splendid opening had been missed, W. Lewis presented another, with the same -result-& miserable final effort. The monotony was somewhat relieved by W. Lewis, who sent in a well judged shot, which deserved better fate. Half Time: Bangor, nil; Chirk, nil. The visitors re- opened in a vigorous manner, and im- m^diate^y gaine-d. a comer. The next item of interest was a bully close to the Chirk goal. Then the Chirk forwards made a combined rush, and Ted Owen had to leave his charge to save. He dispos- sessed his opponent, but another Chirk player obtained possession, and sent a drive into the goal. Owen, amidst loud applause, made a remarkable save. A few half-hearted aggressive movements were made by the home forwards, and during one of these, J. O. Jones tested from long range the Chirk goalkeeper, who made a partial clearance, the ball being passed to Dick Owen, and he scored the first goal for Bangor. Towards the finish the visi- tors! made strenuous efforts to equalise, but the game finished—Bangor, 1 goal; Chirk nil. NORTH WALES COAST CUP. SEMI FINAL. CARNARVON v. BUCKLEY VICTORIA. The above match was played on the Belle Vue Grounds, Rhyl, on Saturday, in fav- ourable weather. Buckley were strongly represented, but Carnarvon played two reserve men.

FOOTBALL NOTES. A very disappointing game was seen at Bangor on Saturday, when the home team encountered Chirk, an erstwhile famous eleven, under the auspices of the Com- bination. The meeting between the teams at Chirk resulted in a surprising win for Bangor, and it was confidently anticipated that they would repeat that performance on Saturday. It is doubt- ful whether any Combination fixture played on the Bangor ground has produced such tame and gentle football. The win was lucky, as Chirk monopolised the greater part of the game, and they were very unfortunate to lose by an odd goal, for in everything except scoring they were the equals of the winners, and their de- fence was decidedly superior. Chances in plenty the home forwards had, but there was an utter lack of cohesion and method, and when in front of goal they seemed to lose their heads, displaying a lamentable incapacity for scoring. Their usual rush- ing and worrying style, which has proved C, so successful in the past, was entirely absent. The absence of Bob Roberts from the home team certainly weakened the de- fence, for his substitute, Sam Roberts, was sadly defiaient at times. One player stood out from the rest-Ted Owen, the home custodian, to whom Bangor owe much for his masterly display, and the several saves which he effected were highly creditable. Of the half backs J. Arridge was most prominent, whilst Jimmy Jones was the only forward who did his side any service. An achievement, worthy of the greatest praise, was accomplished on Saturday by the Bangor Reserves, who suceeded in drawing with Holywell on the ground of the latter, in a North Wales Coast League fixture. The game was full of exciting in- I cidents, both goalkeepers being repeatedly tested, and the Holywell goal experienced several narrow escapes.

Chancellorship of the Welsh University. Wales feels a deep interest in the ques- tion whether his Majesty King Edward will I retain the Chancellorship of the University, which as Prince of Wales he accepted a few years ago. His appointment as Chan- cellor was a personal, not an official, one, and the Chancellorship is, therefore, vested in him so long as he may be pleased to re- tain it. There appears to be no precedent (says theLondbn ''Daily News") for the re- tention .of a University Chancellorship by the reigning Monarch. On the other hand there seems to be no Constitutional reason why the King should not continue to act as Chancellor. A former Prince of Wales- Prince Frederick—was a Chancellor of the University of Dublin, but he did not live to succeed to the Throne. On the Con- tinent, with the doubtful exception of the King of Saxony, who is sometime5 stated to be the Chancellor of the University of Leipsic, reigning Princes do not appear to hold any analogous position. Loyal Welsh- men naturally hope that his Majesty the King will continue to retain the office on J which he has shed so much lustre. ■
