Drainage at Holmwood
What is a Sewer?

At the meeting of the Rural District Council on Thursday, Mr H. Lee Steere presiding, a letter was received from Colonel Helsham-Jones, hon. secretary of the Holmwood Protection Committee, forwarding a copy of a case drawn up by the chairman of the committee with the opinion of Mr Balfour Browne Q.C. They would observe, said the writer, that it was in direct opposition to that of  Mr. Macmorran Q.C., given on a case drawn up for Capel and accepted by the Council as applicable to the drainage of the Holmwood. The difference between the two learned counsel arose solely from their divergent views as to the meaning of the word sewer in the 21st clause of the Public Health Act 1875.  - - -

The opinion of Mr Balfour Browne Q.C., on the questions drafted by Admiral Sir Leopold Heath (chairman of the committee) was as follows: "I am of opinion that the word sewer in Sec.21 of the Public Health Act must be held to mean a sewer which the local authority is "entitled to use" within the meaning of Sec.17 of the same Act. Any other construction would lead to an absurdity. I should say, therefore, the cottage owners had no right to make a connection with the sewer A B (belonging to the local authority).  If they had no such right the mere fact that they have caused their drains to empty into the sewer A B, cannot give them a right and the local authority would have full power to disconnect the drains from the sewers. Those persons would also be liable under the Sections 94,95 and 96 of the same Act. As to the Rivers Pollution Act, it is possible that the owners might shelter themselves under an implied sanction from the local authority, but the power to stop the offensive nuisance seems to me to be sufficient without falling back upon the Rivers Pollution Act." 

The Clerk said as proceedings were pending before the Local Government Board he did not think the Council could do anything at the present moment.  - - -

On the motion of Mr Ponting, seconded by Mr Grissell, it was decided to acknowledge the receipt of the letter, and reply that it would be held over pending the inquiry.

Rural District Council
Thursday - Present: Mr H. Lee Steere (chairman), Colonel Calvert, Colonel Lewin,  - - 

The Capel Parish Council drew attention to the inconvenience caused by the want of a road to Coldharbour from Holmwood Station,and requested the acquisition of a right to make a road for vehicular traffic over the bridle way from Holmwood Station by Moorhurst to Minnick Wood, and if possible to improve the condition of Anstie Lane. Mr Ponting agreed that Anstie Lane wanted making up, and required widening in places where it was impossible for two vehicles to pass. 

Mr Cauter thought enough had already been done for this locality in one season.
The surveyor was directed to prepare a plan indicating what improvement he would suggest, and the clerk was instructed to write to Sir Leopold Heath, asking for his views on the subject.

At a meeting of the Rural District Council on Thursday, Mr C.E.Cuthell (presiding), the Clerk mentioned that the Council required £200 to be contributed locally towards the Pasture Wood improvement.  - - -Sir Leopold Heath, replying to the clerk, wrote that he understood that the inhabitants of Coldharbour would be benefited by his throwing open the Moorhurst bridle road to vehicular traffic, but there were also private roads, the opening of which would benefit other routes within the district. If he were to acquiesce in the suggestion of the Council, he would by so doing enormously reduce both the residential and letting value of Moorhurst, as well as in a more limited degree Anstie Grange. He could not help expressing his astonishment that such a proposal should have been deliberately made. He would, however, do what he could to help the Council if they were to attack the problem in a more practical and a less Socialistic manner. 

It was decided to approach Sir Leopold with reference to an alternative route coming out into Anstie Lane, and in consideration the Council to give up the right-of-way at the back of Kitlands.

The Murder of a Gamekeeper - Funeral for the Victim

The interment of the mortal remains of William Groombridge, the victim of the brutal murder near Ockley, on Saturday, the 25th ult. took place in the peaceful little churchyard of Coldharbour, on Friday afternoon. 

Shortly after two o'clock the cortege left the deceased's mother's house, the coffin being borne on the shoulders of six members of the sect known as the Exclusive Brethren. The chief mourners were the widowed mother, the two brothers and two sisters. A very large number of people, including gamekeepers, night-watchers, and others employed on neighbouring estates, with inhabitants of that and the adjoining parishes, had congregated in the road in front of the house, and as the procession  wended its way to the churchyard those assembled joined in behind. 

On arrival the body was taken direct to the grave-side, situated in the eastern portion of the churchyard, and close to the spot where the remains of the deceased's father already lie buried. The funeral service of the Brethren was then gone through, those taking part being Colonel Holland (Bognor), Mr. Nunnery and Mr. Gregory. The service throughout was of an earnest and solemn character, and seldom, if ever, has an event of so impressive a nature been known in the history of the village. 

Sympathy for the widowed mother and family manifested itself on every hand, it being computed that over 200 people assembled round the grave, and this not-withstanding that rain fell in torrents during the whole of the time. Deceased's brother gamekeepers attended in large numbers to show their respect for one whose memory will ever remain green in their hearts. 

Amongst those to be noticed were Mr. E.Dawney, gamekeeper to Admiral Sir Leopold Heath (Anstie Grange), Mr W. G. Scholey, sne., gamekeeper to Mr. F. Pennington (Broome Hall), Mr. Tulett, gamekeeper to Mr. L.H. Broadwood (Lyne), Mr. J. Still, gamekeeper to Mr. H. Lee Steere, and also gamekeepers and others from Kitlands (Mr Douglas D Heath), Redlands, (Messrs. Lascelles and Tickner), Tillingbourne, etc. 

Amongst the grave-side were Mr. Cuthbert Heath, Mr H.E. Malden, the Rev. R.A.Pelly, Captain Barry (Dorking), and Messrs. Roffey, Harrison, Colyer, Lipscombe, R. Smith, Weller, Mitchell, Towler, Edwards, Greaves, Pavings, G.Smith, E. Smith, Stephen Weller, junr., etc. 

A large number of households from Kitlands were also present. The coffin bore the following inscription: "William Groombridge, died November 24th, 1888, aged 23 years." On the lid were placed some beautiful wreaths, some of which were sent by the gamekeepers and others employed upon Kitlands and Broome Hall estates. 

We understand that Mr. Douglas Heath very generously offered to defray the whole of the funeral expenses.

Action on a Policy of Insurance.
Today, in the Queen's Bench Division, before the Lord Chief Baron, Mr Justice O'Brien, and Mr Justice Madden, in the case of Thompson v Morice and others.

Mr Drury (instructed by Mr W.B. Scott), on behalf of the defendants, who are underwriters at Lloyd's, moved than an order granted by Mr Justice Boyd giving the plaintiff, Mr John Thompson, merchant, of Belfast, liberty to serve the writ on Mr W.W. Alderdice,of the same city, within the jurisdiction, and by sending copies of the writ to the defendants out of the jurisdiction, should be discharged and that the service as substituted on Mr Alderdice should be set aside, on the ground that he was not the agent of any of the defendants, and that the contract sought to be enforced was not entered into within the jurisdiction.  - - - The action was brought by a Belfast merchant to recover £1,500 on a policy of insurance effected with the defendants on linen goods which had been destroyed by fire in Melbourne. The policy was effected on the 6th of April,and the defendants admitted their liability to the extent of £1,389,  but resisted £111 of the plaintiff's claim. 

They denied that Alderdice was ever their agent, and stated that the policy was effected by Cuthbert Eden Heath, insurance contractor, of Winchester House, London, and that, therefore, the cause of action arose in England.

It was stated on the other side that it would be necessary to examine, as witnesses, linen experts residing in Belfast, but he (counsel) took the liberty of saying that as experienced linen experts could be found in London, as in Belfast.   - - - 

Mr Drury said it was very probable that Mr Heath got the business through Mr Alderdice, and may have shared the commission with him, but the defendants knew nothing of Mr Alderdice in the matter.

The Lord Chief Baron said the Court was clearly of opinion that the contract was in England, and therefore set aside the order of Mr Justice Boyd, with costs.
