LEOMINSTER COUNTY COURT . Monday , before His Honour Judge A. A. Tobin , K.C. ADMINISTRATION ORDER . Mrs. Elsie Gwendolin , Lewis , school teacher , Bodenham , applied for an administration order , offering 10s . in the at the rate of 10s : a month . The total amount of debts was £ 43 Gs . 8d . The total Letters from creditors objecting to the ap- plication were handed to His Honour , and one creditor appeared in person . Applicant stated she was a teacher , her sal- ary being £ 60 . Her husband earned 18s . a week , and they had £ 10 rent to pay .. She was leaving the school ; it was because of her position . His Honour said that a great number of the creditors objected to Mrs. Lewis obtaining the order . They objected and it seemed to him with good reason . She was an educated woman and had adopted the profession of teaching . She must have known that she would not be able to pay . It was most unfair to the shop people . She continued to incur debts . She was a married woman and knew the Judge had no power to send her to prison for debt . She now asked to be let off half her debts and to be allowed to pay 10s . per month . Suppose he made that order and she did not pay ; he would have no power . He would make an order that she pay her debts at 15s . in the £ , by instalments of 12s . per month . THE TALE OF A HEN . WEOBLEY NEIGHBOURS ' DISPUTE . George David Manley , grocer , of Weobley . sued Frederick Charles Tummey , general dra- per , of Weobley , for 5s . , the value of a pullet alleged to have been killed by defendant's dog . It appeared that defendant had paid 5s . into Court to await the decision of the Judge . and that Mr. Easton , who acted for plaintiff , was given notice of this . In reply to His Honour plaintiff said that Mr. Easton who had had to go to London , had not informed him of this . His Honour said the money had not been accepted . If plaintiff had wished he could have accepted the 5s . in full settlement of the claim . Plaintiff said that defendant's dog killed a pullet belonging to him on November 30th . He saw the dog do it . Mr. Tummey was in his garden adjoining and saw it also . The fowl was seven months old and was worth 5s . When he called defendant's attention to it he said he should not have so many fowis about and said he did not care . Plaintiff told him he must keep the dog under control . Two or three days later he saw the dog about loose . He then sent an account to Mr. Easton as he knew the dog would do it again . The dog had killed five or six fowls since belonging to a neighbour . He ( plaintiff ) had about 70 head of poultry and it was rather annoying .. The Judge said plaintiff was up against a difficult point of law . He had not proved his case . In reply to His Honour , plaintiff said he had known defendant's dog about 2 months . He had not seen it attack fowls before , but it had killed six fowls since . His Honour : Yes , since . Defendant said he had the dog about a month previously . It was a broken haired terrier , about two months old . He was going up the garden on November 30th , Mr. Man ley's pullet had been in the garden since early morning and as soon as the dog saw it he drove it to Mr. Manley's side . The dog had hold of the pullet . He had not complained of the fowls before , although they had been troubled with them for three years . He con- sidered Mr. Manley had brought the case out of spite . Mr. Manley did not send him a bill , but sent him a letter from a solicitor . The pullet was only worth 1s . 6d . I His Honour Why did you pay 5s . into -Court ? Defendant : Pending decision . your thought it was a most unjust claim . Plaintiff denied that his fowls trespassed in defendant's garden . His Honour giving judgment said the case involved an important point of law and he was sorry there was no lawyers there to argue the point . To his mind , however , the law was quite clear . Mr. Manley and Mr. Tum- NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE FARMERS ' UNION . ANNUAL MEETING OF BROMYARD BRANCH . On Thursday , January 18th , Mr. W. F.
