I ABERGAVENNY POLICE COURT.…
I ABERGAVENNY POLICE COURT. I (Wednesday—Before Col. W. Williams (iu the I } chair), Mr. Edwin Foster and Mr. H. C. Steel. I I Without a Muzzle. ] Ivor Morgan, carpenter, of Govilon, was sum- moned for allowing a dog to be at large without a muzzle, on the 18th. P.C. Birch said the dog was roo yards from the house. He had previously drawn the de- fendant s attention to the dog being in the front of the house without a muzzle. A fine of 15s. was imposed. I One Each. I \m. Page and George Page, of Beaufort, were summoned for riding bicycles without proper lights, on the 17th. P.C. Birch said he saw the defendants at Llan- foist. Wm. Page had no rear light and George Page had no front light and was carrying his lamp in his hand. Defendants were fined 7s. 6d. each. I After the Wedding. 1. I Lnarlotte Lovell, married woman, 01 Llytha, was summoned for driving a donkey and cart without lights, on the 17th. Defendant said that her daughter had been getting married, and they were a little bit late getting home. P.C. Mussell said that when asked, at Llan- vihangel Gobion, why she had no lights, de- fendant said she had been to meet the train at Penpergwm, and it was later than she thought it would be. She had walked all the way. Fined 5s. I The Unbelieving Constable. I Ivor Powell, labourer, of Cwmyoy Lower, was summoned for riding a bicycle without light on the 14th. P.C. Mussell, who stopped defendant at Llall- vihangel Gobion, said that when asked why he had no light, defendant said the lamp would not burn. Witness lit it and it burnt all right. Pined ss. I An Official Mistake. I Osmond Emery, slaughterman, working at I Abertillerv, and living at Abergavenny, was summoned by his wife for arrears of main- tenance amounting to [r r 15s. 6d. Complainant said the she obtained a main- tenance order against defendant on the 29th of May last year of 9s. per week. Defendant had paid her £4 lOS. She claimed at the rate of 98. per week for part of the time and at the rate of 3s. <)d. per week during the time that she re- ceived 5s. 3d. from the Army. In reply to Dr. Grey, for the defendant, com- plainant said she had received £ 1 iGs. from de- fendant since the warrant was issued. She had written to her husband saying that she was going to try for an order of 41 per week. Her husband paid her ^77 for furniture which she claimed at the time the separation order was made. Defendant said that he enlisted on the 2nd of July last year, in the Air Force. He filled his papers up to the effect that his wife was to recei ve 9s. per week, according to the order made against him, and that his mother was to receive the other 33. 6d. He was under the impression that that had been carried out. He came home on leave several times, and there was no com- plaint whatever. Dr. Grey said that from July to October com- plainant was paid nothing by the authorities, from October to January she was paid 5s. 3d. per week, and from January 9s. per week. It I was a mistake of the Army officials, for which defendant was not in any way to blame. It was rather hard that he should be arrested on this warraht and lose his employment. I. I Mr. Steel asked through what channel would I the money be paid to complainant ? Dr, Grey Thtough the Post Office. Mr. Steel asked if it was possible to find out through the Post Office whether the money had been paid. Dr. Grey said he had inquired at the Post Office, but they would not give him any in- formation. It was one of those secrets which might be known to no man, though he might hope to know hereafter. Apparently the Government had appropriated the difference, and placed the woman in that unfortunate position. I Crediting the defendant with the £6 6s. al- ready paid, the Bench made an order against defendant for the payment of the balance of £5 gs. 6d., and informed him that he might recover it from the Air Ministry. Defendant asked for protection from his wife writing letters and molesting him. Dr. Grey said that this was a breach of the order, and perhaps the Bench would warn her that she had no right to do such a thing. The Chairman told complainant that she must not interfere with her husband I Bumped a Horse. I Wm. John Francis, Pontypool, was summoned for driving a motor-car to the danger of the public on May 14th. P.C. Jones said that he was on duty in Cross- street, near the Angel Hotel, and saw defendant driving up Cross-street. He blew his horn once about 30 yards before he turned into Monk- street. He drove on the right-hand side, and people had to clear out of the way. He ran into a horse on his wrong side of the road. Asked 1 why lie drove in that manner, defendant said that something had gone wrong with the steering gear. He admitted that lie had only been driving about a month. P.C. Evans corroborated and said defendant was driving at a dangerous rate. On turning the corner of Monk-street he did not blow his horn at all. People had to scatter in all direc- tions to keep out of the way. Defendant did not appear to know which was his proper side of the road. It was not true that defendant pulled up. Defendant said that he pulled up and asked for permission, by signal, to proceed round the corner. He had to take a sharper turn than usual, and the steering gear over locked. He pulled the car up to the pavement, and in straightening it out he bumped into a horse. A fine of £ 1, including costs, was imposed. ———— +

ABERGAVENNY BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
ABERGAVENNY BOARD OF GUARDIANS. INCREASED WAR BONUSES. I The fortnightly meeting of the Abergavenny Board of Guardians was held on Friday, Cot. W. Williams presiding. There were also present Mrs. Hiley, Rev. D. F. Walters, Rev. II. Morice Jones, Messrs. John Prichard, Morgan W. David, Joseph Griffiths, Wm. Jones, 1). Watkins, N. Pullin, W. Morris, John Baynini, Chas. Thomas, John Jenkins, Alfred Edwards, and Joseph Howells. Shorter Hours Wanted. I A letter was read from the Poor Law Workers Trades Union of England and Wales asking the Board to support a resolution that the officials should not be required to work more than eight hours a day, with one day's rest in seven and one afternoon off. Mr. Wm. Jones proposed that the resolution be adopted, and the Rev. H. Morice Jones seconded. Mr. Alfred Edwards Have we had any com- I plaints that our officers are overworked ? The Chairman I have not. Mr. Edwards I have not heard any com- plaints. It is other people interfering. Mr. W. H. Studholnie, relieving officer for the Blaenavon district, said that he could not say that he was overworked, but there was no doubt that a relieving officer was at the disposal of the public at all hours of the (lay or night. They must take these things as they came, however. He thought if the suggestion of Mr. Morris was adopted, and they had a holiday every year, it would cover everything. The Clerk said that. other unions gave their relieving officers a holiday every year and paid their substitutes, whereas in their union if either of the relieving officers took a holiday they had to pay a substitute, and in that case it was not a holiday. Mr. Joseph Grifilths: That is a different question. The Clerk It is all aiming at having more ( tolerable conditions. Mr. Griffiths According to that letter they want to draw the line and have certain hours for every officer. That is impossible. They ac- cepted their duties knowing what they meant. I think everyone would be agreeable to a holiday. Mr. Watkins Would they be prepared to accept a holiday in lieu of shorter hours ? Mr. Green, relieving officer for the Aberga- venny district, said that he would be quite satisfied. No one understood better than him- self the duties of a relieving officer. He used to be frequently called out of bed at night for con- finement cases, but there were not so many of those now for admission to the house. The Rev. D. F. Walters said that if they I adopted the resolution they must make some arrangements at the house. If they shortened the hours they must get someone to make up for those hours. He moved that the matter be discussed by the House Committee and that they make proper arrangements to meet the necessi- ties of the case. Mr. Wm. Jones said that, as a trades unionist for many yars, he was out to get more humane conditions for employees, and if they did not mete out humane treatment to their employees they stood condemned. He thought every man ought to have an afternoon a week to do with as he liked. Mr. Walters said that no one was opposed to the principle if it could be worked. He proposed that the House Committee go into it. Mr. Watkins seconded. Mr. Jones said he would hold his resolution over to a future meeting, and Mr. Walters motion was then carried. Increased War Bonus. I A letter was read from the Local Government Board with regard to a new scale of war bonuses for civil servants, the increases being to assist them to meet the increased cost of living due to the war. The Board sanctioned such addi- tional remuneration being granted by local authorities to their officers so long as the scale remained in force. The effect of the scale generally was an increase of 20 per cent. of the ordinary salary. The Rev. D. F. Walters moved and Mr. Wm. Jones seconded that the officers be placed on the new basis. Mr. Morgan David said that prices would be higher when peace was signed. He moved that the case of the indoor officers be referred to the I House Committee. Mr. Walters agreed and the proposition was carried. Time of Meeting. I The Rev. H. Morice Jones moved that the time of the meetings be altered to 11.30, to meet the convenience of the Blaenavon members, owing to the altered train service. The Chairman seconded and it was carried. A Good Place for Matrimony. I It was stated that the assistant wardsmaid was leaving, and in reply to a question the Master said she was going to get married. The Chairman We had better advertise. Mr. Watkins And state in the advertisement that it is a splendid place for matrimony. (Laughter). It was decided to offer £20 a year with war bonus and uniform. Appreciation of The Matron. I The Chairman said that during her husband s absence the Matron had sole control of the house and did her duty faithfully and honestly and never complained. He proposed that they give her a fortnight s holiday and £ 5 to go with her. Mr. Prichard seconded, other members sup- ported, one remarking that he would like to have seen it [to, and the proposition was carried. Children at The House. I The Chairman said that all children at the house above three years of age would have to be boarded out. That was what was coming. He understood that they had only one child of that age in the house, and he proposed that it be boarded out, so that they would be in the fore- front. It was agreed to refer the matter to the Boarding-Out Committee. The Pauper Stigma. I Mr. Jones said that lie noticed that the card used by relieving officers when paying out relief contained the words "a pauper" and "the pauper." He respectfully submitted that these words should be left out, and that if it was within the authority of the officers they should eliminate the words on any cards they had in their possession. The Rev. H. Morice Jones seconded. The Clerk said that it was unnecessary to have the words on the card. Mr. Morris If Lie word" tlawd" was used it would not be so b .d. The proposiLion was carried.
