Pontardawe & District Nursing…
Pontardawe & District Nursing Association. Fourth Annual Meeting. On Wedrtcralay evening of last week the PiHitar-dawe and District' Nursing Afisioeuitio-n held their aninual mooting, and tW fieeretary gave a comprehen- sive repent' of the work of the Associa- tion -foil?; the year ending, 14eptember :JOth last. In the course of tho report the seenetarv gave the following par- ticulars'"of ca-se-s nursed and visits padd:— General. cases 197 Visits to general cases 2,444 Mart-sraity oasea 98 Visits to maternity oases. 1,121 Tuberculosis causes 19 Visits to Tuberculosis cases 123 Infant H<vtlth cases 242 Visits to Infant health case* 88.3 A larger number of tuberculosis, and nxaternicy csmeti had been nursed this year than year. Up to Sept. 30th, 1915, 160 general cast** were nursed. Up to -Sept. 30th, 1916. 216 general oases were nursed, including 19 tuber- <ml-osi(i cases. Up to Sept. 30th, 1915, 81 maternity cases were nursed. Up Sept. 30th, 1916, 98 maternity cases tvere oiun-wd. Tltiis was partly due to the fact that xhe Association now employs three hurnps regularly, and also that tho Vork of the murs* w so much ap- predurced by all who make use of their services. Tte Association hH8 been Jtsked to take on for another year the ftoaMh visiting under Notification of Births' Ant. Thj s also shows that f-lie work of the nurses is most satis- factory. The Committee started Infant Wel- fare Glioses about six months ago, which promised to be very successful, but u rifortunately they had to he; post- f)()n(',l for a couple of months owing to iui cpidemic of Int!1es.. They have since been re-started, and it is hoped tn work these elass-rsi up well, as it i* Me that healthy children are the Nati-.osii' grHïtt. aaftptt. There are ttow 08 ruvme-v on, the books, and it is hoped this number will go on in- *'<reasmg steadily. It wall announced that Nur- Jenkins had gone to live ire Alltwen, and it wax tww liponwl that the people of A1 IIjttl would n-tlcc, more use "f the Ajfobciatioii nurse then they hod do-ne in the past. From thfl bniam^ sheet which was presented. it was &efm that the financial position of the Association was qui to satisfactory. The committee wish to put on record their appreeiatimi of .the efficient way in which tlie, Iiave discharged their duties during the past year, and they aLvo desire to thank the ladies of tho Executive Committee for their £ reat a«s=usta;nce in the working of the Association, and for the money they so generously gave in lieu of the tea a.nd fete. Somo of the ladies on the committee have resignetl, but new ones have been appointed in their place. After very careful consideration the committee decided not to hold a tea and fete during the year, owing to the war. Instead, Ktep-s were taken to collect special subw-riptions, to replace the amount usually realized from the tea and fete. ThiK appead met with general support, and £54 12s. 6d. was collected. The Committee wish to extend their heartiest thanks to the members of the Association who collected this money, ajid also to those who so kindly subscribed—especially would the com- mittee thank those' who, though not officially connected with the Associa- tion, yet assisted greatly in. collect- ing the money. Since the last annual meeting a now caretaker has been engaged at the nurd's lodgings. It was felt that the duties of caretaker could be more satisfactorily carried out by one who could devote the whole of her time to the work. A widow was therefore ap- pointed, and the committee reported that. she has given every satisfaction.

FIGHT IN AN AMMANFORD MINE. George Morgan, 2 Hall street, Am- manford, was summoned at Amman- ford for thrown a stone, and Thomas A. Davies, 11 Villiera road, Amman- ford, for behaving in a violent manner down Pantyffynon colliery. Mr T. M. Evans, M.A., appeared to prosecute, and said the offences came under the Coal Mines Regulations Act. From the evidence it appeared that when going down the deep Davies asked Morgan to let him pass, and the latter turned round and said, ''Go and join t.he Army, y,u shirker." Dafvies retorted, "I have not been dis- charged from the Army in disgrace. ri More wordy warfare ensued, and then as Davies passed Morgan threw a btone, and afterwards kicked Davies, who promptly knocked him down. After an exchange of blows Morgan left his work to complain to the manager, and next day Davies laid a complaint. The defendants were warned aa to their future behaviour and ordered to pay tho costs, 10s. eadh.

LOCAL COLLIERY ACTION.
LOCAL COLLIERY ACTION. w. BURCHELL REES SUES PONTAR- DAWE COMPANY. VERDICT FOR DEFENDANTS. An. action by William Burehell llees, of -ied I.iodT-pat.sa^e, Lr^ndou, against tho Y'iiysainir-a Colliery Compttuy (Limited) (in voluntary liquidation), of James-street Pont-ardawe, Glani., and tha liquidator, George Bromley Bo wen, of Salubiions- cbaan-bera, Swansea, came before Mr. Justice &l'gea,nt in the Chancery Divi- sion. The plaintiff, as landlord of pro- pt-rtv at Ynysdawela Fann, Llantlilofawr 0aamaarth<«islxire, claimed against the de- fendiants, as assig-nees of a 48 years' lease of tthe coal under the land, the sum of £104 for rent, yyaLti^s, aJid wa^deaves which, he said, wc-ro in arrears, also damages for alleged breaches of covenant to repair, and the return of certain plant and machinery alleged to have been re- moved. Mr. G. Hawten appeared for the plain- tiff, and Mr. J. G. Pease (instructed by ;\[:«rs. Burton, Yeatos and Harts, agents for Mr. Morgan Davies, solicitor, Pontar- dawe) for the defendants. Mr. Griat Hawten, for the phiriLff, said the -defendant company went into voluntary liquidation on June 12, but the inline had not been worked for some time. It was a valuable property, and it was estimated that it would cost some £ 8,030 to put into a proper tate of re- pairs, and that it would take about eight- een months to do it. The niaclrncry was for the purpose of keeping the mine in repair, and in respect of that removed, it would cost £720 to replace it. Mr. G. W. Lydden, mining engineer, of Maeeyravon, Ystradgynlais, gave evi- denoe, and &aid that the mine waa under water, a state of things that was due to lack of pumping. To put it into repair it would cost about £ 7,310. Edward Rces, son of the plaintiff, said the cempajiy had not done any repairs sinco March, 1914, when they stopped. He spoke <af the neglected condition of th wine. The plaintiff :-a.iJ he and his ron worked the mine from 1892 until Novem- ber, 1900, and on his visit last May he found thai, no repaid had bern done. Mr. Pease submittod. that tbere wa- r.o case against the defendants, except on the question of damage. The rent had been paid into court, and there had been no threat to distribute the assets. On the question of damage, he submitted that it waa the comn-ion practice in this district to flood mines temporarily when it was not being worked as an alternative to pumping, which was an expensive mat- ter. The defendants had removed the machinery, trams, and rails, to prevent them being damaged. He submitted that there was no evidence of want of repair. Evan Owen Davies, a mining engineer, said that when a mine was double-tim- bered and cogged it would suffer nc damage when flooded. Usually 1-di,0wn ing" a mine preserved the timber, and tho roof" vuld not be inj ured, uAless it was clayey. Evidence for the defence v. as continued I by E. 0. Davies, mining engiueer, and David Jeffreys, colliery manager, Ystaiy- fera, wl tl-L the object of showing that the mine was in a good ata.te of repair, and that according to the usual practice when the working was temporarily stopped, it was flooded so as to save ex- pense, and that this method did no damage. After a lengthy .'summing up, the Judge said that having liea/rd the evidence for the defendants, he must find in their favour. It was completely proved that in a mine of this description the roof of which consisted of clift or ittrated shale, water did not experience a prejudicial effect uporj the workings and the timber, but to a certain extent acted aj a pre- servative. If there was any v, ant of re- pair—'which he did not think there was, it was merely of a temporary oharacter, and might be made good when the mine began to work again. The plaintiff would have the rent paid into court, and any co to-i in regard to that, but there would be judgment for the defendants with the general costs of the action, and the order would be without prejudice to the right of the plaintiff to enter a claim in the liq ludation in. respect of future rent and liabilities ullder the lease and rent ac- crued sinoe the date of the action. The hearing lasted two days.

Onllwyn Pumpman's Action Fails. Action Against Dulaij Colliery Co. At the Glamorgan Assizes at Swansea, bt-fore Mr. Justice Bray and a special jury, Martin Haines, collicry pumpsm-ai, of Onllwyn. near Neath, sued the Dulais Anthracite Colliery Co. for damages for per.on.al injurif's, caused, it was alleged by a breach of statutory duty and negli- gence on the part of defendants. Defend- anas denied negligence, and alleged con- tributory negligenoe. Mr. Llewelyn Williama, K.C.,M.P., flnd Mr. Villiars Meager (uistructed by Messrs. Itandell, Saunders and Itandell) were for plaintiff, and Mr. Ellis J. Grif- fith, K.C.,AI.P., and Mr. Mar lay Samson (instructed by Messrs. Gee and Edwards) were- for defendants. Counsel opened tliat plaintiff was en- ployed at the colliery, hia, average earn- ings being L2 13s. 3d. On the night of January 20th latt ho was in the pit when something apparently went wrong with the purap. He proceeded to the 6pot but. as iira, a foot or so of water in the pump house he crossed' over a dis- charge pipe. It was not suggested by the defence that in doing this he was guilty of an act of negligence. Finding nothing wrong at the moment, he pro- ceeded to re-erxa the discharge pipe, vhen his foot slipped, and in falling he put left hiiid. in th? cog wheels, with the result that the hand was so injured that lie would be a one-handed man for the rest of his life. Plaintiff alleged that defendants were guilty of negligence in not fencing the cog wheels and atao in not providing alternative -means of egress. Marshall Stewart, mining engineer, Swansea-, was called as an expert witness to apetah as to tlie pianpsman's duties and tiie nature of the machinery in, and the character of, the pumping station, a model of which was exhibited in Court, together with a specimen oog wheel and a piece of the 4in. discharge pipe. Replying to Mr. Ellis Griffith, witness admitted the discharge pipe wa., not in- tended to be walked on. ?Ill'. Ellis Griffith It requires a bit of a Biondin to walk this pi]>e?—Witness assented Plaintiff, in evidence, said after the accident he was attended by Dr. Bromi- low, assistant to Dr. Armstrong. Only a little finger was now left on his hand, and he had lost a lot of aleep ever since the accident. Dr. Lancaster told him the finger would be of no use to him, and advised him to have the hand off at the wrist. He had been offered the job of p icking slag by defendants, but Dr. Lan- caster said he could not do it, but was only fit for clerical work, or as a colliery signalman. The defence was that there had been contributory negligence, and that there had be-en 1110 breaches ol statutory duty. At the eonclustion of the evidence th-r Judge put a, numbf-r of questions to the jury, who answered them all in favour of the defendant company, and judgment wa#j gi ven accordingly. On the application of M.r. Llewelyn Williama, K.C.,M.P., the jury consented to access the compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act at £ 1 a ireek from the time of the accident.
