YNYSHIR MAINTENANCE CASE. ANOTHER WOMAN'S HUSBAND SUMMONED. AMUSING INCIDENTS. At Porth Police Court on Thursday, Eliza- beth Ann Hunt, Ynyshir, summoned Richard Hunt, alias John Williams, her husband, for non-maintenance. She had a baby in her arms 11 in the witness box. Her husband had deserted her three months ago. As soon as the defen- dant appeared in the box she exclaimed that he was not the right man. Defendant said that he had been summoned twice by the complain- ant for non-maintenance, and he did not an- swer the first, but when he had the second he thought he had better go to tile Court and ex- plain matters. He was a married man, and lived with his wife at Penrhiwfer. He did I not know the complainant. She had called at his house asking if her husband lodged there. He told her he did not, and he did not know him. Complainant caused a good deal of laughter by stating that the defendant was very touch like her husband in his feature, but her husband had no moustache. The Bench, after questioning the parties a good deal, remarked that it was a most extraordinary case, and the defendant, who evidently was the wrong man, had acted most stupidly in coming into court when he knew very well the summonses were not for him. Defendant remarked that the complainant herself had told him he would be summoned by her. His name was John Wil- liams, not Richard Hunt. Applicaat exclaimed, "My husband's name is Richard Hunt, but he is very much like my husband." Mr Jenkins asked defendant if his wife was in court. De- fendant replied she was not. Mr Jenkins: I want to get things as clear as possible; they are terribly mixed up now. I have never known j of such a case. It seems that it is only because your husband has no moustache you are not sure defendant is not the right man. (Laugh- tey-).-Defendant said he had two summonses in Lis pocket. (Renewed laughter).—Mr Lewis: You were foolish to notice them. Why did you not tell the police that you were not the man? —Defendant: I did; but he told me there would be a "catch warrant" against me if I did not go to court.—Dr Lewis: I believe you know where this woman's husband is and you are shielding him.—After some further remarks, Williams was told to go home to his wife. He was re- fused his expenses for the day. He left the court grumbling amid much laughter. The police were instructed to make further inquiries as to Hunt's whereabouts.
