Mr. T. Price THOMAS (Ystrad Mynach), defending, pleaded not guilty.
Evidence was given by Police-sergt. J. SULLIVAN that Edmund ISAACS was in charge
of a horse attatched to a cart laden with about a ton of bricks. Under the
saddle witness saw two wounds, one the size of a 5s. piece and another from
which matter was discharging. Edmund ISAACS said he did not know the wounds were
there. Arthur ISAACS said. "I admit the horse was not fit to be worked. I did
not know the sores were there."
Arthur ISAACS said there was only a small wound, which had dried up. He denied
the statement attributed to him by the police.
Edmund ISAACS also denied the statement attributed to him by the sergeant.

case on condition that horse should only be worked in chains in future.
An undertaking was given that this should be done.
AQUITTED OF BIGAMY-Porth Wife Not Heard Of Since 1905.
At West Wales Assizes, held before Mr. Justice FRASER at Carmarthen on Tuesday,
William MURRAY 53, collier, committed from the Ammanford Court, pleaded "not
guilty" to having bigamously married Florence May MILLARD on August 1 1924 at
Bridgend.
Mr. John MORGAN (instructed by Mr. Meirion JONES, Ammanford) prosecuted, and Mr.
Joshua DAVIES defended on a dock brief.
Edith MURRAY, 128, Aberrhonddu-road, Porth, to whom MURRAY was married in 1900,
said she left her husband in 1905 in consequence of his ill-treatment of her.
Counsel: What was his conduct like?- He knocked my teeth out and broke up the
home.
According to further evidence, MURRAY went through a form of marriage with a
woman named Mary Jane MASTERS in 1914, and again with another woman, Florence
May MILLARD at Bridgend in August, 1924, and in a statement to the Ammanford
Police made an admission to this effect.
Mr. Joshua DAVIES submitted that MURRAY not having heard of his wife since
1905 was justified in presuming her to be dead.
The Judge directed the jury to return a verdict of "Not guilty," and MURRAY was
discharged.

POLICE BETWEEN TWO FIRES-Attacked From Rear In Baton Charge.
The hearing was resumed at Ystrad on Monday of charges arising out of the
disturbances at Treorky.
Mr. David REES (Messrs.W.R. DAVIES and Co.) prosecuted, and Mr. Edward DAVIES
(instructed by Messrs. MORGAN, BRUCE, and NICHOLAS) defended.
The case was that against Stanley BEVAN, William HARRIES, Edward GOWMAN, and
Thomas WILLIAMS, who were charged with riotous assembly at Treorky on October
29, and with assaulting the police and throwing stones.
Police-sergeant Anthony WEST stated that when a number of workmen were being
escorted home a crowd of between 300 and 400 made a rush down the Conway-road
towards witness, who was with a party of West Sussex Constabulary.
The police barred away, and the crowd became very hostile, shouting such threats
as "Come on, boys; let's swamp them."
At about twenty yards distance the defendants EVANS, HARRIES, and GOWMAN, who
were in the front of the crowd, each threw a stone striking witness on different
parts of the body.
Police-constables GRIFFITHS and RYAN and Inspector BUDD, of the West Sussex
Constabulary, and practically every police-officer present received some minor
injury. The police drew their batons and made a charge. They had not proceeded
far before they were assailed by a large shower of stones from the rear.
Inspector BUDD said the police were greeted with a shower of stones as big as
cricket balls. Realising the situation was out of hand, he ordered a baton
charge.
Defendants were sent for trial.
CHILDREN TERRIFIED.-Rioters Attack Rhondda Miner's Home.
Arising out of an attack made on the police and the miners they were escorting
at High-street, Treorky, on October 23, further charges of unlawul assembly and
assaulting the police were heard at Ystrad on Monday against seven young Treorky
miners, Ivor H. EVANS, Thomas Glanville DAVIES, Ben MORGAN, T. D. MORGAN, Elias
REES, Gweirydd WILLIAMS, and W. J. JONES.
Police-sergeant YOUNG said a crowd of about 500 men and women shouted.
"Here's the blacklegs and traitors. Give it to them" A shower of stones came
from a crowd of about 200 who were at the rear of a house of one of the miners
who were being escorted home. Police-sergeant YOUNG gave the order to charge,
and the police dispersed the crowd.
Seth LLOYD said that when he returned home from work he found his wife in a
state of collapse on the doorway, and the children terror-stricken and crying.
Sixteen panes of glass in the house were broken.
Mrs. LLOYD said a shower of stones came through her window; her little girl was
struck, and she was hit on the shoulder.
The defendants were all committed to the assizes on the charges of riotous
assembly and intimidations, the charge of assault being adjourned to January 3.
COLLIER BOY THROWN-Cycle Held By Miners Wife At Hafodyrynys.
Emily JAMES, Mary WORGAN, and Irene SMITH, Hafodyrynys, miners' wife summoned at
Pontypool on Monday for intimidating Ivor HEWLETT, Arthur RICHARDS, John
HEWLETT, and Frank CASTREE, collier boys working at the Crumlin Valley
Colliery.
Mr. T. W. GRIFFITHS (Messrs.LYNE and Co., Newport) prosecuted , and Mr. A.
Gordon EDWARDS (Newport) defended.
The prosecution stated that the collier boys were on their way home from work
on their bicyles when they were met by a crowd of fifteen or twenty women
walking on the either side of the road. Mrs. JAMES stepped into the road and
shouted, "Hello, blacklegs and scabs." and made a grab at one of the cycles. The
rider of the machine swerved across the road, and Mrs. JAMES missed him, but
caught hold of the hind part of another boy's cycle, causing him to lose his
balance and fall.
All three defendants were bound over, and Mrs. JAMES was fined £5 in addition.
A PICKET FINED-Pit Engine-Driver "Held Up" At Pontnewynydd.
Albert PRICE, underground engineman, of Pontnewynydd, was fined £5. at Pontypool
on Monday for having intimidated Ronald SCRIVENS, an underground engine-driver,
whilst the latter was on his way to work at Tirpentwys Colliery on October 23.
Mr. T. W. GRIFFITHS (Messrs. LYNE and Co., Newport) prosecuted, and Mr. A.
Gordon EDWARDS (Newport) defended.
It was stated that the defendant stopped the boy and his two companions at 6.20
a.m. and asked where they were going. SCRIVENS replied that he was going for a
bag of coal, but PRICE said: "I know you are going to work." He then held up his
fist as if to strike him.
PRICE later later admitted to the police that he was picket duty, after first
declaring that he was only out for a walk. He denied the intimidation.
CARDIFF SEAMAN KILLED.
When going aboard his ship, the Hillglen, at Cory's Wharf River Medway, George
SHIMMELFENNING 40, able seaman, fell down the hold and broke his neck.

I frequently check obits (Cleveland Cuyahoga Co., Ohio) and death
certs for "Malmesbury" and the misspelling I can think of - I catch
the ones I wasn't creative enough to think up looking for cousins. I
NEVER thought to do it for Merthyr or Cardiff, Merthyr only got two
but Cardiff got in the teens - but did you know there is a Cardiff
on Sea in California? So I am sending these short obits and death
notices all at once. If anyone thinks it is important I will post with
surname, first name and date in the subject.
Opinions welcome;

What about W. H. Davies the Newport born tramp poet.
His poem "Leisure" is well known easy to read and recite.
It was always a favourite in our school on St David's day .Gill

John Patrick
Mona originally asked for a poem in English written by a Welshman. She did
not say it had to be by a Welsh-speaking Welshman.
I would suggest "Fern Hill" by Dylan Thomas as having great rhythm and
descriptive language which makes for an interesting recitation - I learned
it myself for a competition in school.
Trawling through R S Thomas, it is not easy to find a poem that does not
have the short clipped lines that make recitation harder, and many deal with
difficult even harsh subjects. But there are some such as "Manafon"
published in 2002 that could be spoken.
I believe Dylan Thomas is made to be read aloud, for the ear to hear,
whereas RS is better read in the mind!
A very personal view!
