Joseph MADDOCKS, a brewery traveller, of Hillside, Rhymney, examined at the Tredegar Bankruptcy-court on Thursday, gave his liabilities as £217 and his deficiency as £160. From 1898 until 1915 he was employed as a brewer's traveller in the Rhymney Valley for the Fluer-de-Lis Brewery, and subsequently served for various firms on commission as a traveller. Bad trade and the fact that several of his customers went bankrupt had so reduced his income that at the end of last year he had to approach moneylenders.
The examination was closed.
Thomas EDWARDS, collier, of Waunfach, Pontycymmer, summoned at Mountain Ash on Thursday for assaulting William DAVIES, grocer, of Penrhiwceiber, and also with respect to the paternity of the child of Annie DAVIES, William DAVIES'S daughter, airily discussed points of law, and cited the "Statute of Limitations as the medium which was instrumental in acquitting him at the Cardiff Assizes in 1921 of a charge of bigamy."
William DAVIES said EDWARDS jumped on his shoulders in the shop and refused to go out. There was a scuffle, and defendant was eventually put out.
EDWARDS: I have no desire to use any physical force on any man, becaise I think moral suasion is better. I am not guilty of the charge. Defendant was bound over on the assault charge, and ordered to contribute 10s. a week towards the maintenance of the child.
The Tredegar Bankruptcy-court registrar adjourned on Thursday the examination of Isaac GOLDLATT 27, formerly a draper and boot dealer at Cinema-buildings, Blackwood.
Debtor, in reply to the official receiver, stated that on December 24th last a fire took place on the premises and the whole place , which was full up of stock, valued at £3.000, was burnt out. There was probably £3,000 owing at the time to the creditors. He was insured for £2,000, for stock and £300, for furniture. He agreed that his statement of affairs showed liabilities of £1,685.
The Official Receiver stated that he had written to the creditors and had found that the total amounted to £3,231, and the deficiency instead of being £1,728, was £3,274.
Debtor replied that he had not gone into the matter fully.
The examination was adjourned so that the accounts could be ammended and completed. Debtor was represented by Mr. D.J. TREASURE, Pengam.

Crockery and other articles were afterwards hurled through the upstairs window. Eventually Police-sergeant WILLIAMS turned up and the door was opened by force.

The Bishopric of St. David's.- Though the mediated resignation of the Bishop of St. David's has often been rumoured and as often proved to be a false alarm, yet now we are authorised in giving publicity to the fact of its actually being about to take place. Among the names brought forward in connection with the vacancy are the Ven. Basil JONES, archdeacon of York, and son of Capt.JONES, former high-sheriff of Cardiganshire; Archdeacon FFOULKES, of North Wales; the Rev. Latimer Maurice JONES,B.D., vicar of Carmarthen; the Rev. John GRIFFITHS, rector of Neath, and John GRIFFITH, rector of Merthyr. Out of such a group of eniment Welshmen as we have enumerated there is ample scope for the selection of a thoroughly efficient Bishop of St. David's.
Miss Ethel GAGE presided over a well-attended meeting of the Cardiff branch of the Junior Imperial League, when Councillor Jack POWELL gave an interesting address on "Physical Culture and Sport."

The first meeting of creditors of John THOMAS, Pencisely-road, Cardiff, a solicitor, was held before the official receiver (Mr. Ellis OWEN) at Park-place, Cardiff, on Wednesday.
Debtor gave his liabilities as £700 13s.4d., and assets as £190 9s., leaving a deficiency of £ 555 7s.1d.
Failure was attributed to unemployment, ill-health, and heavy interest on loans. The official receiver remains trustee.
Harold CHRISTOPHER 5, of 66, Tynycoed-terrace, Thomastown, fell into a bath of hot water, and was removed to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary, where he died on Wednesday from the effects of severe scalds.

EDEVENE and DEACON appeared at the local court on Wednesday, the latter being summoned for having consumed the liquor. They were both defended by Mr. William THOMAS.
Mr. THOMAS, who pleaded guilty referred to the stainless character of the licensee dyring the ten years he had held such a position. It had been a very busy night, no fewer than 150 men having been there.
EDEVANE was fined £2, or 21 days, and Deacon £1, or eleven days.

Defendant was fined 10s. and ordered to pay 2s.6d. damages.

Mr. Edward HOWE on Wednesday resumed the inquest at Aberavon on John DANIELS 42, of 6a, Felindre-street, Aberavon, an electrician by trade, but latterly a cleaner and doorkeeper at the Ex-Serviceman's Club, Aberavon, who died on Wednesday of last week after being taken ill the previous night while out for a walk with his wife.
Mr. Tudor JONES, represented the relatives.
Mary DANIELS, the mother, said that for the past two months her son had lived apart from his wife. He joined the Navy as a boy and served throughout the war. On Tuesday of last week he was brought home ill, and never regained consciousness. He died at seven o'clock next morning.
Antonia DANIELS, the widow, said she was a native of Russia and met DANIELS at Batoum about July, 1920, when he was serving in the Navy. They were married at Constantinople on October 28, 1920, at the Roman Catholic Cathedral. They lived together at Constantinople and Malta. From Malta he sent her to this country. For three or four years they lived with his mother, and later in apartments. Differences rose between them and they had proceedings in the police-court. The bench made an order in her favour for the payment of 22s.6d a week. After the proceedings she lived at Jersey-street, and he with his mother. Her husband asked her to meet him on the Tuesday, and they went for a walk on the Baglan Mountain. He was very happy and he appeared better than ever she had seen him.
He asked witness to return and live with him as he was lonely, and she said "Yes." After joking a while he became pale and lay on his side. He exclaimed, "Forgive me, and kiss me." He began to hold his head, and said that he had never felt like that before. He was trying to say something, but she could not understand what he said. He fell on his face, and she tried to get him to speak, but could not. She called for help, and two or three people came. He then became sick. He had had some drink in the morning, but was not drunk.
Edward LEE, High-street, Aberavon, spoke to hearing screams on the mountainside and seeing DANIELS ill lying on the ground.
Dr. Hector JONES said he made a post-mortem examination and came to the conclusion that hemorrhage of the brain was the cause of death.
Dr. Hubert PHILLIPS agreed with that view, and a verdict accordingly was returned.
Thomas THOMAS, Brynderwen, Cynheidre, Llanelly, a collier. brought an action against Jno. JENKINS, Penymor, Cynheidre, to recover damages for alleged slander. M. Clark WILLIAMS (instructed by Mr. Leslie WILLIAMS, Llanelly) appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Frank DAVIES (instructed by Mr. T.R. LUDFORD, Llanelly) for defendant.
Mr. Clark WILLIAMS said the case had its origin in a somewhat commonplace squabble between two people at the village water-tap at Cynheidre. Plaintiff and defendant had nothing to do with that quarrel. There were a few words between Edith JENKINS and a man named HARRIES, and the former summoned to her aid her brother, the defendant, who came out of his house flourishing a poker. Unfortunately Thomas THOMAS, the plaintiff, happened to come out of his house at the same time.
Defendant accused him of molesting his sister, and, it was alleged, accused plaintiff of suffering from a loathsome disease.
Those words represented the alleged slander.Defendant denied using the words attributed to him.
The Judge: There was a knife in plaintiff's hand and a poker in JENKIN'S, and, undoubtedly, a great deal of electricity in the air; do you mean to say that no quarrel took place?-No.
A verdict was given for plaintiff for £1 and costs.
William BULL, labourer, was summoned at Abergavenny on Wednesday for cruelty to a pig by beating it on May 20.
Percy FRAZER, florist, said that defendant dealt the pig a terrible blow with a short, crooked stick and it bled freely.
Defendant pleaded that the pig had been run over by a motor. Other witnesses corrobotated. The Bench fined BULL £2.
Foxes at present are playing havoc with poultry in various parts of the country, and amongst those most seriously affected is the farmer of Tyle House Farm, Michaelstone-le-Pit. This place is situated in the heart of the country where foxes abound, being surrounded on all sides by large woods belonging to the Cwrt-yr-ala Estate.
A few days ago a fox killed three ducks at this farm, and has since paid a return visit, taking away a turkey that was sitting on nineteen eggs. The eggs were due to hatch on the following day, but, like the bird they were devoured.

" We will teach you that you cannot play with the law. You will be sent to prison for six weeks," said Alderman Michael GORMAN (chairman of the Abertillery magistrates) on Wednesday to Walter GREAVES 24, a Cwmaman collier, who was summoned by his wife for non-payment of £22 12s.6d., maintenance arrears.
Mrs GREAVES, who resides at Abertillery, said that at the Abercarn Police-court a few weeks ago she consented to an adjournment because defendant promised to take her back, but when they got to Abertillery he again left her .
A fifteen-year-old Abertillery girl was summoned at Abertillery on Wednesday for driving a motor-car without a licence, and her father, Joshua DAVIES, milk-vendor, was summoned for aiding an abetting.
Police-constable OVERINGTON said he saw the girl driving a car to the Abertillery railway station, where he discovered that she did not have a driving licence.
The Clerk (Mr. A.C. BADMINTON) said that the girl was not old enough to be granted a licence. She was liable to a fine of £20.
The Bench ordered both the defendants to pay 4s. costs each.
William JOHN, a motor-lorry driver, living at Trecynon, strongly repudiated the allegation of the police at Aberdare Court on Wednesday that he was driving his vehicle at a dangerous speed in Jubilee-road, Godreaman, on the 5th inst. On the contrary, he submitted that the rate was only five to six miles an hour, as against that of fifteen miles per hour alleged by Police-constable CLARKSON.
The officer's story was, however, accepted by the Bench, who imposed a fine of £2, or 21 days.
While Benjamin EVANS 68, a Brynmawr labourer, was removing cinders round a clinker weighing about two tons at Nantyglo the clinker moved, and EVANS was fatally crushed between it and another clinker, death occurring in hospital three hours later.
Laurence Thomas PHILLIPS 3, son of Thomas PHILLIPS, New Houses, Bonymaen, Swansea, was taken ill whilst in the house with his father and died within a few minutes. He had been treated for an ear complaint at the Swansea Hospital, and had only been discharged a few days previously.
George KELLEN 56, a native of Hakin, residing in St. Anne's-road was tanning sails with other men in Milford Docks, when, without warning, he suddenly fell to the ground and expired. He is survived by a widow and grown-up daughter.
The Cardiff city coroner (Dr. R.J. SMITH) held an inquest at the Law Courts on Wednesday on Caroline BOSWELL 26, of 59, Andrews-road, Llandaff North.
Mrs. G. BOSWELL, the mother, said her daughter was a laundress, employed at Messrs. Gwyn NICHOLLS and WINFIELD'S laundry, Llandaff North. She was a single woman. Some time ago she complained of headaches, and a fortnight ago felt bad and did not go to work. On Friday week she was seriously ill.
At this stage the coroner adjourned the case for further inquiries.

Dear Listers,
I've at last got a marriage for Thomas Newbery and Agnes Maude Williams in April 1912 at the English Baptist Chapel.
Thomas is 37, a widower and a coal miner, of 2, Alma Street. Agnes Maude is 28 of 4, Market Place.
Thomas' father was John, deceased ,also a coal miner. Agnes Maude's was a Joseph Williams Herbalist.
I'm not currently on Ancestry and wonder if anyone would be able to identify which families this couple come from. A witness was Edgar Williams who might have been Agnes Maudes brother. I believe Agnes Maude was known as Maude so it is possible that would be her name on censuses.
Best wishes,
Mary

in regard to the Newbery side, it looks like i have found him in the 1891 census with Sidney and Eliza Crane, he is shown as an adopted son born abt 1878 in Newport monmouthshire, i found his birth index in Jun 1874 Newport Monmouth, in 1891 he has middle initial H, he is living in St Woollos Risca Newport, So maybe both his parents had died before 1891, he is in 1901 in RTogesrstone Risca Newport again with sidney and eliza along with a servant annie williams, thi time he is shown as born in Mainder Monmouthshire, i have just found what is more likely the thomas H birth in dec 1877 in Newport monmouth so it might not be him after all, but its a lead none the less, if it isnt him which i dont think it is now, then i dont know where he is in the cenus records, only the 1911 may tell you when wales comes out at the end of June.

Subject: [MON] Tracing Newberys and Williams in Blaenavon,Monmouth
Dear Listers,
I've at last got a marriage for Thomas Newbery and Agnes Maude Williams in April 1912 at the English Baptist Chapel.
Thomas is 37, a widower and a coal miner, of 2, Alma Street. Agnes Maude is 28 of 4, Market Place.
Thomas' father was John, deceased ,also a coal miner. Agnes Maude's was a Joseph Williams Herbalist.
I'm not currently on Ancestry and wonder if anyone would be able to identify which families this couple come from. A witness was Edgar Williams who might have been Agnes Maudes brother. I believe Agnes Maude was known as Maude so it is possible that would be her name on censuses.
Best wishes,
Mary

Gazette Notices.-Bankruptcy.
Llanelly- Thomas Arthur THORNE, 13, Lliedi-crescent, electrical engineer.
Saundersfoot- William Frederick SABIN, Hean Castle Hotel, hotel proprietor.
Tonypandy.- Abraham Deitch, trading as A. DEITCH and Son, 228, Eleanor-street, Tonypandy, and carrying on business at Trealaw Foundry, Trealaw, iron founder.
Treherbert.- Francis Frederick FORD, 35, Miskin-street, miner, lately residing at 3, Victoria-street.

There was an outburst at the Tredegar Court on Tuesday when Henry G. ILLSLEY,48, painter by trade, formerly employed at the Bedwelty Union Workhouse, was summoned for having allowed his wife and children to become chargeable to the guardians.
Defendant told the bench he had left his job at the workhouse because he was not satisfied with the conditions of work. He was expected to do double-handed work with the occaisional assistance of an inmate of the house. He could not get any help for the moving of heavy planks, &c.
The Chairman (Alderman T.J. PRICE) said there were many men doing far more laborious work every day in the Tredegar district for o good deal less money than defendant and sticking to it instead of giving it up. It was a reflection that this man allowed his wife and family to become chargeable to the ratepayers, considering their already great burdens.
Defendant was sent down for a month. Leaving the court ILLSLEY pointed out to the guardian's officials, and said, "I will month you for this!" He was recalled and, asked what he had said, repeated it. He was told by the chairman that he was liable to six months' imprisonment for contempt of court. ILLSLEY replied that it was a matter of indifference to him whether he had it or not.
A two-year-old boy named Frederick SMITH, of 62, Carmarthen-road, Swansea, was knocked down and instantaneously killed on Tuesday by a motor-lorry owned by Messrs. S.B. JACKSON, contractors, Cwmbwrla, Swansea. The accident occurred near Skinner-street and in full view of many passers-by.
The second fire within a week occurred at Bridgend on Tuesday morning when considerable damage was caused to the stores of Messrs. HOLWELL and Co. oil, paint, and hardware merchants, of Five Bells-lane. The fire was discovered by a man who on opening the doors of the building was met by flames. The Bridgend Fire Brigade were on the scene before the town alarm ceased blowing, but they were handicapped by a weak force of water.
The premises were well alight. Near by was a large tank containing a considerable quantity of petrol, and the firemen concentrated on the protection of that and stopping the spread of the fire to the neighbouring houses. The interior of the building, with a motor-lorry containing a quantity of hardware, stores, and domestic utensils, and a quantity of hardware goods, mats, rugs, &c., on the first storey, were destroyed.
The fire is believed to have been caused by the backfire from a motor-lorry.
Mr. B. Edward HOWE, the West Glamorgan coroner, on Tuesday held the adjourned inquest at Port Talbot on Leonard CALLAWAY, a relief railway clerk, a native of Plympton, Plymouth, who was killed in a collision with a milk float while motor-cycling in a Port Talbot street.
The inquest was adjourned for the attendance of Cyril DAVIES, a booking-clerk, of Bridgend, who was riding on the pillion. Mr. R.T. Price JONES appeared for the insurance company.
Dr. W.W. HELLYER said death was due to the fracture of the base of the skull and terrible injuries internally in the chest. The impact, he said, must have been terrible.
Cyril DAVIES said that on Monday May 5, CALLAWAY came to the station whilst he was at work, and asked him to look at his motor-cycle. After persuasion witness jumped on the back, and they went up Station-road. He thought he was only going round the yard, and he went without his hat and coat. At Taibach they called somewhere where there was a round corner, and CALLAWAY had a glass of ale. He remembered getting on the machine again, but did not remember coming back from Taibach. Witness could not say what speed he was going.
John Lewis EVANS, 25, Somerset-street, Taibach, said he was driving his milk float towards Taibach along the main road. When opposite Gaen's garage, on his proper side of the road, a motor-cycle crashed into him. It must have been going at between thirty-five and forty miles an hour. After the impact the horse bolted, and when he came back he found CALLAWAY lying on his back with the machine near him.
The Coroner recorded a verdict of "Accidental death" and congratulated DAVIES upon his lucky escape. There was no blame attatched to EVANS, he said.

A five year-old lad named Harold CHRISTOPHER, of 66, Tynycoed-terrace, Thomastown, was admitted into the Cardiff Royal Infirmary on Tuesday night suffering from scalds to the back, legs, and right arm, and is reported to be very ill.
It appears that the boy was playing at home with a brother, when he fell into a bath of boiling water.
A lad named William John Henry JONES, who lives at 4, Beddoes-row, Bonymaen, Swansea, who has been missing for some time has been found. He was discovered by the harbour police stowed away on board the C.B. Pedersen, a vessel lying in the King's Dock.
Considerable sympathy is felt at Newport for Miss Dorothy LONDON, of Chepstow-road, Newport, who has suffered a keen disappointment, followed by a crushing bereavement. Miss LONDON, who was until recently a clerk in a Newport office, was on the point of being married to Leo Hamilton GRUTE, an electrical engineer,was formerly engaged under the Newport Corporation and latterly by the Bristol Corporation.
All arrangements had been made for the wedding at a church in Bristol, the wedding feast was prepared, and all appeared well up to the eve of the date fixed for the ceremony. Mr. GRUTE was apparently well overnight, but in the early hours of the morning of what was to have been her wedding day. Miss LONDON was awakened and told that her fiancee had been stricken with a sudden serious illness. The wedding was postponed.
It was found that Mr. GRUTE, a young man of 27 years, the only son of the late Mr. C.E. GRUTE, of Torquay, was suffering from hemorrhage of the lungs. During the Great War he served on the Western front, where he was gassed, and it is stated that effects of this brought on the sudden and fatal lung trouble.
For three weeks Miss London, hoping against hope nursed her fiancee, but a few days ago, within a month of the day they were to have been married, he died at Nordrach-upon-Mendip Sanatorium, Blagdon, near Bristol.

In case you wondered about the medical outcome, from www.freebmd.org.uk it
appears that Eva A. COSGROVE died in 1930, and may have had a child between
this event and then.

Following a dramatic occurrence in a quiet neighbourhood at the Heath, Cardiff, shortly before three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a young woman, Mrs COSGROVE, who had been residing at 106, Craddock-street, Cardiff, was removed dangerously wounded in the throat, to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary, where she now lies, and her husband Thomas COSGROVE, surrended to the police, who detained him.
According to eye-witnesses the woman was walking along a lane running from Heathfield-place, accompanied, it is stated by a man, when her husband , who was riding a bicycle, overtook her. Husband and wife were seen together for a moment, and the woman fell to the ground. People who hastened to her found that she was bleeding from a wound in the throat.
Meanwhile the alleged assailant mounted his bicyle and came up with the man stated to have been in her company. At the corner of Heathfield-street and Whitchurch-road there was a struggle. A neighbouring shopkeeper intervened, and apparently held the alleged assailant until a crowd gathered, but, not knowing what had happened previously in the lane, the tradesman released the man, who for a few moments spoke to a few of the spectators concerning alleged domestic troubles. Then he mounted his bicycle, stating that he was going to call the police.
Mrs. COSGROVE had been hurried meantime to the surgery of Dr. J. Frederick GALLAHER, a few score yards away. The doctor rendered what first aid he could and conveyed her with all possible speed in his own car to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary.
Describing the injuries subsequently to a Western Mail reporter, Dr. Gallaher said the wound was about seven inches long, and penetrated the muscles of the tongue and throat. The windpipe, as far as he could ascertain on a brief examination, was not severed. The cut extended right across the throat to the jawbone on the right side, and was just above the "Adam's apple," and not below, as in the case of invariably fatal wounds. The jugular and facial arteries had been nipped by the instrument used, but neither of them had been severed completely. Dr. GALLAHER was then of the opinion that there was a possibility of the womans recovery.
The other man connected with the affair did not receive medical attention.
The husband Thomas COSGROVE, surrended to the city police shortly before five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon.
(re-above)
Landlady's Story.
For fifteen weeks COSGROVE and his wife had been living with Mrs POND at 108, Craddock-street, Cardiff, removing there from Mynachdy after the birth and death of their first child.
Mrs COSGROVE, according to Mrs POND, is 27 years of age, and was not happy in her apartments, and on Saturday, after making some remarks to her husband, she went away.
"Poor COSGROVE was distracted," said Mrs POND. "He walked about like a man in a trance. He repeatedly burst into tears and on Monday night, after not more than ten minutes in bed , he left the house to search-it is conjectured-for his missing wife and ease the agony of his mind. He was out all night, but returned to Craddock-street early on Tuesday morning. When I came down I saw him sitting in the middle room. He was a picture of abject misery, and when he saw me he cried bitterly,"
The little room which the COSGROVES had occupied was neatly furnished. A chair had been drawn up to a table laden with crockery and food-but the breakfast was uneaten! A piece of bread had been cut, and the top of the loaf buttered and a slice of cold meat laid upon it, but the sandwich had never been completed.
(more)
Mr and Mrs James COSGROVE, of 38, Eisteddfod-street, Cardiff explained to a Western Mail reporter subsequently that Thomas COSGROVE was their son. Mr. COSGROVE, who was disabled by an accident while employed by Messrs. Armstrong-Whitworth two years ago, has, in fact, lived at Cardiff for over fifty years, and Thomas COSGROVE was born and brought up in the city.
The son, said Mr. COSGROVE, was formerly a light-weight boxer well known in Cardiff, but he left the ring when he joined the 11th (Cardiff Pals') Battalion, the Welch Regiment, at the outbreak of war. He served for over four years in France and Salonika, and was invalided home with malaria. He was employed on the Great Western Railway (the old Cardiff Railway Company) as a hydraulic worker.
On May 28th, 1921-three years ago today (Wednesday)-he married Miss Eva WILLIAMS, of Minny-street, Cathays, Cardiff. Thomas (continued Mr. COSGROVE) was one of thirteen children, who were all abstainers.
Husband Charged.
When COSGROVE made his dramatic appearance at the charge office of the Central Police Office at the Law Courts he made a statement to two police officers who were present, and one of them said he would take him into custody on a charge of attempting to murder his wife. COSGROVE made an answer to this charge . He was then searched and removed to the cells.
COSGROVE will be brought before the Cardiff magistrates this (Wednesday) morning on a charge of attempted murder.
Victim's Condition.
On making an inquiry at the Royal Infirmary last night, the Western Mail was informed that Mrs COSGROVE remained in a dangerous condition.
There is a small head and shoulder photograph of both on page 7.

Dear John,
The photos are stunning and the history of the church fascinating. Please
let us know what happens to the tree...I have never heard of one being used
for stocks before. I always look up your photos, but I don't think I have
ever commented before. We who are overseas are particularly grateful for the
glimpses you give us of our ancestors' churches, homes and lives. Thank you
for your dedication.

Dear Sally,
Many thanks for sending your reaction to my photos to the Monmouthshire

It's always gratifying to hear that my work brings people such enjoyment.
I'll certainly post updates on the 'Whipping Tree' saga as and when I hear
