CORP0BATI0H OVERDRAFTS
CORP0BATI0H OVERDRAFTS THE TENBY ACTION. IMPORTANT RULING. In the Chancery Division on Thursday, De fovp Mr Justice Farwell, the hearing waB con of the aCti(m of the -aorneylieneva ("n '.he recitation of Mr Egerton Altai ™ Mr Allen v. Mr. Wilfred Seymour de Wmtou, ■)!<;•> a-k°d for an injunction resti&nun0 the payment of further sunis onTt'pC £ QOO referred interest on such overdraft. 1 he £ 600 leierreu to was said to be expenditure mcuned in abortive water scheme lor lenoy. Mr l-piohn, K.C., and Mr. Palmer (mstiucted by Messrs Baker and Co.) were for the Inf- :,U' McMorran, X.C., and- Mr. Cunning- ham Glen (instructed by Messrs a,ad Dodds, agents for Mr. Or. l.oit btoKes, Town Clerk, Tenby) were the defendants. Mr. Upjohn saici that on the harbour account, district rate account, and water rate account there had been overdrafts aggregating C4629. On the haibour account the Corporation hau secured power to borrow in terms of repay- ment in "live annual instalments. 15 S'Î the Local Loans Act, 1875, required the first instalment to be paid within the fn^t yeai. The item however, travellcd through the ac- counts down to the' 10th May, 190o, by con- tinually adding quarterly suras of interest at42 per cetit. The order ot 1902 in this instance said the Corporation had to comply with the provisions of the Public Health Act, but as far as he could make out they had not com- plied with one provision. This was an instance of what had been done. Their way of paying off was simply to draw upon one account to pay another. Defendant had honoured cheques when he had no assets in hands to meet them, and charged <4 per cent, interest. That really was the OILY question raised in the action. Mr. Glen did not admit a suggestion of Mr. Upjohn that the overdrafts had ever reached £ 6,e00. His Lordship would have to consider whether he could deal with this matter with out the Corporation being joined. Defend- ant pleaded that he had done what he had done" as a servant and in pursuance of the directions of the Corporation. Under the statute he could not do otherwise than obey the Corporation's orders. The Judge: That goes to the root of the matter—that they cannot maintain an action against you. The town clerk is instructing you; obviously the Borough Council know all about it. Mr. G'.en said no doubt individual members of the Corpoiation knew all about the action, but he did not think the Corporation had had the matter brought before it in its corporate capacity. i The Judge said that, as present advised, he did not think the point raised was a pre- liminary objection. Mr. Upjohn said his Lordship was not only asked to deal with the past but with the future, for plaintiff asked for an injunction. The Judge: If you obtain a judgment the auditor may disallow similar payments in the future. Mr. Upjohn: Yes, that is what we want. Pro- ceeding. he said that Mr. Glen had denied the overdrafts had ever been £ 6,000. A week after the defendant was appointed treasurer, before he got any assets from the Corporation, he lent the Corporation iP,4,959 to clear off Mr. Cross. That sum at 4 per cent. was roundly 2 £ 225 a year. Tenby was not a big place, and was very highly rated, so that such a sum couid not be said to be immaterial. Mr. Glen submitted that defendant had acted as the servant of the Corporation. If the thing was wrong the injunction should have been asked for against the Corporation and not against the defendant. The Judge: It is an everyday occurrence to grant an injunction against both payer and payee. Judgment was reserved. JUDGMENT. Mr. Justice Farwell's judgment on Satur- day went against the defendant and supported the contention of Mr. Egerton Allen that the transactions of the Ten by Corporation in re- gard to overdrafts and the payment of the interest thereon were illegal. Mr. Wilfred Seymour de Winton is the manager of Lloyds Bank at Tenby and the borough treasurer. The payments in question were in respect of expenses incurred on a water scheme which the Local Government Board refused to sanc- tion. His Lordship, in delivering his re- served judgment, said the' funds were in the nature of trust funds, as the defendant was in a fiduciary position towards the borough, and therefore could not take advantage of money voted to himself out of the trust fund. The defendant was not a mere servant of the-Council. Even if the overdraft was legal, the defendant was not entitled to credit him- self with 4g per cent. interest upon it. He thought that all the contentions urged for the defence fai.ed, and the plaintiff was en- titled to the declaration he asked for. There was no imputation of personal misconduct against the defendant; in fact, the action was a friendly one, taken for the purpose of as- certaining the legal rights of the parties. He would therefore grant no injunction, but would accept the defendant's statement that he would not use any portion of the borough funds for the payment of interest on any overdrafts -in future. There was no public fund out of which the costs could come, and as the plaintiff, who had come forward in a public- spirited manner, was right, the defendant must pay the costs. »

v. REV. LEWIS JAMES PREACHER AND EDUCATION- ALIST. THE PIONEER OF INTER- MEDIATE EDUCATION. The Rev. Lewis James's sterling public work, especially in religious and in educational inat- ters entitles hit to a high place in the gaJlcry of County worthies. He began his preparation for his ministerial work as a student at Car- marthen College, at that time under the presidency of Dr. Lloyd, a unitarian, but whose principles never affected Mr. James. He entered the ministry in 1860 as pastor of the two churches of Calvan and Bryn Zion, in the Lamepter Velfrey parish. He minis- terd to these two churches until 1876. lie then took charge of the twin Congregationa Churches of Saundersfoot and Sardis, where he put in five years of devoted service, and was the means of putting both churches on a firm basis. Then some denominational re- arrangement was made, and Mr. James took charge of the three small churches at Am- roth, Langteang, and Lohgstone, and these three churches he has faithfully served since 1831. Some two or three years ago a co-pastor was appointed to assist him, but Mr. James still does a large share of the preaching work in all three churches. His early churches were under the Welsh Congregational Associa- tion, but when he took charge at Saunder- foot he came inta the South Pembrokeshire or English Association, and for many years he Iras been a leading member of that asso- ciation, while retaining his connection with the other. He was for many years, probably about 20, the secretary of the South Pem brokeshire Association, and in that capacity he has rendered a very large amount of ser- vice to the denomination. He took the closest interest in all matters, not merely of his own, but of other churches as well. He was ever especially interested in the work of any churches that were in difficulties, or where the work was carried on under great disad- vantages. He was the constant friend. of the weaker churches, whose pastors and oflice bearers learned to look upon him as one to whom they could always go for counsel and advice. When quite a young man in the ministry Mr. James became associated with the beginning of the educational movement in Wales, initiated some 40 years ago, that movement, which was connected with the name of Mr. Hugh, afterwards Sir Hugh, Owen. Mr. James was one of those present at the gathering in Swansea with Mr. Hugh Owen and the late Henry Richards. That meeting gave a great impulse to the educa- tional movement, then only just beginning. Mr. James threw himself heartily into ail public work which was in any way associated with the interests of Wales or of Noncon formity; he entered heartily into all work of that kind, religious, political, or educational. If he took an active part as a politician it was because he regarded the interests of Nonconformists as largely bound up with the interests of the Liberal party. He was an active Liberal politician, because he was a borough-going Nonconformist. When the County eeat was won by Mr. William, afterwards Sir William, Davies, Mr. James took an active part in that cam- paign. After the election of 1885, it was on his initiative that the Liberal Association, kpown by the name of the Liberal 300, was formed. He was a well known figure in that association, and as influential as he h'! always been in the meetings of his own denomination. He held very advanced views, and enjoyed on that account the iu tlest confidence of the advanced wing of the party. t was largely owing to his perseverance and enthusiasm that the 300 became the power in the county that it now is. When the Act of 1838 called the County Councils into being, Mr. James came forward as a candidate for his own division of ba;it- peter Velfrey, and was returned without op- position. He took from the very first a leading part in the deliberations of the County Council. Even those who were most preju- diced against the political action of ministers of the Gospel could not. but admit that Mr. James was one of the most useful members If the County Council. Men like Mr. Henry G. Allen anl Sir Clias. Philipps showed their marked appreciation of his public services; and the late Lord Kensington was on terms of the closest friendship with Mr. James down to the close of his life. But when the Welsh Intermediate Act had been passed, and secondary education began to be organised in the Welsh counties, then Mr. James found that sphere of work, which was most emphatically con- genial to him. According to the Act the scheme under which the County Schools were to be established was prepared by a joint committee of three members ap- pointed by the County Council, nad two by the Education Department. There was no Board of Education at that time. Mr. James was appointed on behalf of the County Coun- cil, and had as colleagues Mr. Watts Williams, of St. Davids ,and M-c. Benjamin Rees, of Grannant; and with them the Department associated Mr. H. G. Allien and Mr. W. So de Win- ton. Mr. James devoted a great deal of time to the collection of information bearing on the requirements of the county. He maintained steadily that secondary „ education should be brought as near as possible to the doors of the people in each neighbourhood; and though some of the county educationalists believe that there are too many intermediate schools, Mr. James has always held the view that his policy has been thoroughly justified by the results. On the appointment of what was known as the County Governing Body, which admin- istered secondary education in Pembrokeshire until the appointed day in 1904, Mr. Lewis James was elected its chairman, and all who were associated with him on that Body agree in speaking in the highest terms of his thor- ough grasp of the subjects brought before them, the intense earnestness with which he threw himself into the work, and last, but not least, the scrupulous fairness with which he exercised his powers as chairman. If there were any mistakes made in the construction of a scheme, they were not due to any careless- ness on the part of the chairman, who was more responsible than any other person for the form which the county and local schemes assumed. When on the expiration of the powers of the County Governing Body, Mr. James retired from public life, the greatest regret was felt by men of all parties. It was, in fact, only his increasing deafness which caused his retirement at a time of life when his mental powers were still unim- paired. But for this Mr. James would cer- lainly have been co-opted on the new Govern- ing Authority. There is one part of Mr. James' public work which must not be overlooked. He did more than any other man to remove the prejudices against Nonconformists, and Nonconformist ministers in particular, which were at one time prevalent among the county aristocracy. Those who met. him in the County Council and in the committees of the Council, recog- nised his high personal charcter and his great business ability; and through their acquaint- ance with him learned to appreciate and value still more highly those qualities which char- acterise jcnidclle-class Nonconformity in Pem- l brokeshire. Mr. James, on his side, freqiwitly expressed the opinion that he himself had I o learned to appreciate much more highly than formerly the business quarries and the scrupu- lous care in financial matters of the gentle- men who as magistrates had transacted the business of the county at Quarter Sessions. There remains one thing to be noticed. While Mr. James iias been for many years one of the leading public men of the county, work to which he has rea.Iy devoted his life, he has ever been preeminently a Christian minister and pastor. One who has known him most intimate.1}7, and was at one time a regular attendant at his church, used to say he had never hnOWll any pulpit which was so adapted to the building up of a strong Christian char- acter. No one could sit under his ministry, or be associated with him, whether in re- ligious or pubLc work, without feeling that he was one who consistently kept before his own mind a high ideal both of public life and ministerial usefulness. roughout his long iie Mr. James has enjoyed the fullest con- fidence and the highest esteem of his minis- terial brethren of other denominations as well as of his own. He has played a part in the life of Pembrokeshire, religious and secu- lar, which is the best vindication of the prin- ciples he has held, and of the line of conduct he has consistently pursued. His public life has in no way weakened his efficiency as a Christian minister, but his Christian charac- ter has greatly enriched his public life, and increased his usefulness as a citizen. »

Williams applied for the tem- porary transfer of the license of the Brig Inn, St. Ishmael's. lo John Harries. There was a little informality in the notices, which neces- sitated the calling of Mr. Rogers, a clerk in the employ of Mr. Harold James, the owner of the house, who said the notice had been signed by the tenant in the wrong place, and he had to send it back for correc- tion, which caused a delay of two days. The notices were accepted, and as Supt. James had nothing to urge against the character of the in-going tenant the transfer was granted. AN OLD OFFENDER. Lewis Reynish was summoned for being drunk and disorderly in Kensington Road. Neyland, on the 60th ult. Sergt. Lewis proved the offence, and Supt. James read out a long list of previous convictions, and Reynish was tined 10s. and costs. THEFT OF A COAT. Frank Murphy was brought up in custody, under remand, charged with stealing a coat, value, at 20s., the property of Wm. Absalom, Woodmoor. Treffgarn. The prosecutor's story was that he placed his jacket in a shed, be- hind his cottage, and soon afterwards he missed it. He found a handkerchief, and also two envelopes, each of which had contained a sixpence, on the road, and gave informa- tion to the police. P.C. Llewellyn traced a man who had been carrying a coat to the Corner Piece and there lie found prisoner, who at first said he had bought it, but finaly admitted stealing it. Now pleaded guilty, and was sent to gaol for one month with hard labour. FRACAS ON THE NEW RAILWAY. David Smith, employed on the new railway, summoned Charles AiKins for an assault on the 19th ult. Smith said he was at work on a ladder when Atkins came up and ac- cused him of stealing a dog. Prosecutor laughed, because, he said, he didn't know what AtKins was talking about. Atkins then, he said, picked up a stone and struck him with such force on the forehead as to stun him. He was severely cross-examined by Mr. W. J. Jones, who appeared for defendant., and deneid that there was a strugg.e or tight, and that the injury he received was caused by falling out of a cart while drunk. Prosecutor called a man named Charles Burns, who saiel he saw the blow struck and blood streaming down Smith's face. He separated them. At- kins said Smith squared" up to him, and they struggled, when they fell. When sep- arated Smith was on top of him. The Bench held an assault had been committed, and fined Atkins 10s. and costs.

The meetin; place for gossip is the post-office, where clot and writ, ing-paper, pepper, biscuits, and cher useful things are sold.
