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. ———— +
