BOXING.
The principal contest at the Birchgrove Pavilion, New Tredegar, on Saturday evening was a fifteen two-minute rounds between Billy EYNON, Merthyr, and Gus LEGGE, Abertillery. EYNON was the most aggressive, and forced the fight. The referee, Mr. Reg ARUNDEL, awarded the verdict to EYNON on points.
In a six round bout T.TAYSON (New Tredegar) defeated Jackie MORGAN (Tirpil). Cliff EVANS (Tirpil) knocked out Rees THOMAS (New Tredegar) in the first of a six round contest. A three rounds exhibition was given by Young PIPE and DELAHAY, both of Brithdir.

Arthur POACH, a dock labourer, was fined £10 or two months, by the Cardiff Stipendiary (Mr. W.St. John FRANCIS-WILLIAMS) on Friday for causing a horse unnecessary suffering.
Police-constable PRESS said that the animal was lying in a field and was unable to stand.
Mr. P.J. MULLANE, a veterinary surgeon, said it should have been fed on soft food because of its bad teeth. It was apparently unable to crop the grass.
Edward CASTLE, George-street, Newport, a general dealer, was charged at the local court on Friday with stealing wallet and £16. 10s. from Thomas RUSSELL, Bristol seaman.
Prosecutor told the court he had been drinking in the company of CASTLE for three hours and then went to the shipping office to be paid off. There he received £17.5s.7d. He accepted an invitation to have dinner with CASTLE. He went to his house in George-street and went to sleep on a bed upstairs. When he awakened the wallet, three £5 notes, and three 10s. Treasury notes were missing.
Eileen WILLIAMS said that she saw CASTLE cut away the inside pocket of RUSSELL'S coat with a pair of scissors while he was sleeping. He had asked her torob RUSSELL, but she refused. CASTLE offered her a £5 note, saying that she could have half of it. She tried to awaken RUSSELL, but "he seemed as if he had been doped."
The wallet was found in CASTLE'S right-hand coat pocket by Detective ROWTHORN.
Prisoner said he had no idea that the wallet was in his pocket. He denied the story of the girl WILLIAMS.
The bench found the charge proved and sentenced CASTLE to three months' imprisonment with hard labour.
A further sentence of three months with hard labour was inflicted for living on the earnings of two young women, the sentence to run consecutively.

The tragic death of Sidney William HULONCE, 41, a builder's labourer, of Ethel-street, Neath, who fell under a lorry at Melincrythan, Neath, as he was trying to jump on while going to work, was the subject of an inquest by Mr D.Edward HOWE on Friday. Mr Vaughan EDWARDS of Swansea, represented the driver, and Mr E. Gibson DAVIES, of Port Talbot, was for Messrs.Waring, Cole, and Waring, builders of Neath the man's employers.
The widow said she was left with six children.
Glyn Gethin THOMAS, of Danygraig House, Tonna, driver of the lorry (which was owned by his father, William THOMAS), said HULONCE signalled and witness pulled up. Before he stopped HULONCE jumped on to a support opposite the driving seat, but missed his footing and fell off. The next thing witness saw was the dead man on the ground. He was going at eight to ten miles an hour at the time.
Albert Victor STANDEN, of Furnace-terrace, Penrhiwtyn, who witnessed the accident, said he saw HULONCE running towards the lorry, and then saw him with one arm on the side of the cab and the other on the front. He attempted to jump on the step, but missed his footing, and he let go the cab and fell underneath the lorry. The rear wheel passed over the small of his back. When the accident took place the driver was slowing down.
"Accidental death" was the verdict.
With gross liabilities of £123.6s.5d. and a deficiency of a similar amount. Silas RICHARDS, of Mountain-road, Brynamman, a brickworks labourer, in his public examination before Mr Registrar STEVENS at Carmarthen Bankruptcy-court on Friday attributed his failure to an order of the Divorce Court obtained by his wife in July,1920 for payment of her taxed costs, amounting to £122.18s.11d. She was now suing him for that amount.
The Official Receiver: Why have you not made an attempt to pay these costs?-If I had the money I would not hesitate to pay.
Debtor's former wife, who had come down from Liverpool, said RICHARDS had deserted her on the day of their marriage, and she never saw him until a month afterwards, when he appeared at his mother's house. She had gven him two years to pay, and he had ignored it absolutely.
The examination was closed. the Official Receiver remarking to debtor that if he could pay something of the costs he ought to do so. It would assist his future.
Gilbert Francis JAMES, 18, the Cardiff youth for whom a search party has been scouring the hillsides in the direction of North Glamorgan since his disappearance from his home at Woodville-road, Cathays, last Monday, was discovered on Friday night wandering aimlessly about Cefn Coed, near Merthyr. It is thought that he had suffered from a temporary loss of memory.
News having been received that a youth answering to the description of James had been seen in the neighbourhood of Cwmtaff, a party of four members of the St. Teilo's Church Ex-Choristers' Guild, with Mr. T.W. HARVEY in charge, arrived in Merthyr on Friday evening equipped with electric torches in anticipation of a night's search on the Breconshire mountains. By a stroke of luck, however, while in a taxi-cab making for Cwmtaff their attention was attracted at Cefn Coed to a group of people on the roadside, and among them they found James, who was in a very exhausted condition. He was subsequently conveyed home to Cardiff.
Mr. Enoch JENKINS, who has been called to the Bar at Gray's Inn, is 28 years of age, and is a son of Mr. John W. JENKINS, of Messrs. John Williams and Sons, Cardiff. He was educated at the Howard-gardens Secondary School and St. Peter's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in law. He intends to join the South Wales Circuit.
While using some oil to light a fire at six o'clock on Friday morning, Mrs Elizabeth PAYNE 26, of 31, Helen-street, Cardiff, sustained serious burns to the hands and face.
She was later removed to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary.

As it's quite on the list here are some snippets that caught my attention
whilst translating some of the Cardiff entries from these books;-
Wood St, Cardiff (English)
.......In 1869, after consultation with Mr Davies, Hannah St, and Mr Waite,
Charles St, they unanimously decided to call themselves Independent. They
bought the Music Hall, and modified it as a house of worship. They gave
£3000 for it, and we understand that half the debt has been repaid. Towards
that they had a good sum from the £5000 that was left by Mr S Morley to
build English chapels in Wales....."
Canton (English)
" .........Members of the congregation are every week distributing about 500
religious compositions from house to house in the district, and therefore
scores of famlies that don't attend any place of worship are getting the
opportunity to find the
way to salvation........"
Canton
"..........After getting the chapel ready, there arose a difficulty with the
language as to which one would best to take the service in. As there were
some in the church who didn't understand Welsh at all, a service in that
language would be of no use to them, and the Welsh weren't prepared to have
the service in English, and a large section of the residents of the place
were English, Mr Williams and others who considered that there was a need
for an English cause in the place, decided that their duty was to take
another place in the neighbourhood to hold English services, and thus left
the
chapel to the Welsh........."
Splotlands, Roath
" .......The Independent connection in the town of Cardiff, and its suburbs,
in the last 7 years, has laid out almost £13,000 on chapels and school
houses, as follows; - enlarging Mount - stuart, £650; repairing Ebenezer
£900; building Hannah St £4150; buying the Music hall in Wood St, to turn
into a school house, £3000; Canton chapel £1500; Roath chapel £1740; and
schoolhouses in Charles St £1100. .................
PS £13000 in 1870 is equal to some £1,150,000 today (depending on which
average inflation rate you use)

Would SKS please look on the 1901 for a Charles William Henry PARKER, or
possibly William Henry Charles PARKER aged 12-18. If he is with his
parents they should be John Parker and Sarah A Parker. As he married in 1903,
he could be aged 12 on the census as his bride was only 15 at the time of
marriage
Any help much appreciated

Mr David JONES, who died at his residence, Prospect House, Porthcawl, at the age of 80, he was a familiar figure in the district. He was a native of Carmarthen, and his people were pioneers in the tin-plate trade. Mr JONES qualified as a chemist and druggist, and practised for years at Port Talbot. He afterwards became the owner of the Red Lion Hotel and subsequently the Victoria Hotel.
Mr JONES was a nephew of the late Sir Alfred JONES, of the firm of Elder, Dempster and Co., and married Mary daughter of the late Mr. Hezekiah DAVID, of the Ship and Castle Hotel, Porthcawl.
After a brief illness, Mrs Elizabeth JONES, the wife of Mr Gomer JONES, Cloth Hall, Glyncorrwg, died at the residence of her mother in Cymmer. A daughter of the late Mr. D. LEWIS and Mrs LEWIS. Mrs JONES was a former member of the scholastic profession, and an ardent Welsh Nationalist. She held the silver medal of the Welsh C.M. Sunday School Association for distinction in Welsh and was well known in Cymmrodorion circles. The funeral takes place tomorrow (Saturday).
The funeral took place at Cardiff Cemetery on Thursday of Mr John GRIFFITHS, Castle Eden, Ninian-road, Cardiff.

On a counter-claim Mr. THOMAS sued for £48 16s., injury caused to the cow by the motor-car. Mr Kirkhouse JENKINS (instructed by Mr. W.J. EVERETT, of Pontypool) appeared for plaintiff and Mr. Godfrey PARSONS (instructed by Mr. J. MOXON, Newport) appeared for the defendant.
Ll. LLEWELLYN, who drove the car, said the cow rushed out of a field, jumped on the car, damaged it, and gave him such a shock that he temporarily lost control.
Defendant said he and his son brought the cow, which was led by a rope, out of the field. Witness heard the car go "whizz" and as he was closing the gate the car struck the cow. His son was thrown into the hedge.
Corroborative evidence having been given, his Honour gave judgement for the defendant on the claim and also on the counter-claim to the extent of £16. 14s.6d. with one set of costs.

There as been a romantic sequel to a case heard in March last at the Swansea Police-court.
Three men, David and Thomas HADDON and George Stewart DAVIES, hauliers were summoned on March 22nd for assaulting Joseph Peter JONES. They admitted pulling JONES out of a tram at the Victoria Station, Swansea, but urged that their sister was being taken away to Canada by JONES. JONES admitted that the sister of the defendants HADDON had left Swansea for Liverpool, and that he was going to meet her there to go to Canada. The men were discharged.
It now appears that JONES and the girl have since been married, and the bride, Mrs Violet JONES, left High-street, Station, Swansea, on Thursday for Liverpool, whence she will sail today (Friday) for Canada.
Mr. Samson PETERS of 1, The Laburnums, ,Rogerstone, near Newport, steelworks furnaceman, who died on February 1, left estate of the gross value of £1,156, with net personalty £1,121.

Young Squire of Pontypool.- On Thursday Mr John HANBURY, the young squire of Pontypool Park, came of age. At his birth and christening there were great rejoicings, with ox-roasting and amusements on an extensive scale. Mr HANBURY has shown little interest in the town which was founded by his ancesters, and yesterday found him not at the park and with no preparations for a fete. However some of the inhabitants thought the occaision ought not to pass without some sort of celebration and some of the buildings in the town were decorated. The Hanbury Rifle Corps and the Volunteers paraded the town, Mr J.C. JONES, the blacksmith, was early at work firing his anvils, and the men engaged on the park estate let off small cannon.
Miss Dorothy M. ADAMS, a young Abertillery school-teacher of considerable music promise, conducted the Ebenezer Sunday School Choir in a performance of "Princess Ju Ju."
Miss ADAMS is the daughter of Mr and Mrs ADAMS, Brynteg, Abertillery, and is only twenty years of age. She is a gold medallist, and possesses a fine soprano voice. Her debut as a conductor was very successful.
Mr. J.T. CLATWORTHY, the president of the Cardiff, Penarth, and Barry Coaltrimmers Union, will have reason to remember his visit this week to London in connection with the coaltrimmers' dispute at Leith, which is happily settled.
When in a resturant in Piccadilly Mr CLATWORTHY was the victim of a pickpocket who deprived him of nearly £11. He did not discover his loss until he got into the train at Paddington.

Cardiff Central is the one closest to the Millennium Stadium. However
Cardiff Queen Street is within about 15 or 20 minutes walk (less if a fast
walker and few crowds). This means you could consider one of the valley
lines.
There is a car park of reasonable size near Caerphilly/Caerffili Bus and
train station. Google maps at Caerphilly Railway Station, Station Road,
Caerphilly, CF83 1JR? . There seems to be a through train Rhymney to Penarth
on this line which goes to Cardiff Central.
The new railway station at Ebbw Vale Parkway is just off an A4046 road that
comes off the heads of the valleys A465 so would suit a run down the M50 and
through Monmouth before turning off by Raglan.
http://wikimapia.org/6716113/Ebbw-Vale-Parkway-Station and look on google
maps for Ebbw Vale Parkway Railway Station? - Off Glan Ebbw Terrace,
Victoria, Ebbw Vale, Caerphilly, NP23 8AP. It is supposed to have parking
but that isn't obvious on the Google image ( which may be before the line
opened).
There seems to be an hourly service, judging by Traveline Cymru web site,
http://www.traveline-cymru.info/, again through to Cardiff Central, I don't
think they are very big trains. I haven't searched on trains back as I don't
know when match finishes ( or indeed what match you are talking about...)
Locals around the two alternatives might suggest whether they would be happy
to leave a car in the station car park for a few hours.
Just some ideas

Please can any Glamorgan listers help.
Four of us are coming to the Millennium Stadium next weekend but the media here in Leicester are advising us to travel down by road owing to works on the railway network. Last time we came we parked in Newport and went by train to Cardiff but feel there will be plenty of others doing the same thing this time. Is there a smaller station before Newport that we could aim for enabling us to avoid the crush??? Or can anyone advise us on an alternative route altogether??? Also please which rail station in Cardiff do we want??
