Mr. David JENKINS prosecuted, and Mr. Ernald JONES, defended. Francis  Baynard RICHARDS, hairdresser, Dolmarry-road, East Croydon, a widower with four children, said he married defendant on September 10, 1916, at Plymouth. On August Bank Holiday, 1918, witness went to see his children, and when he returned home he found his rooms had been cleared of furniture and his wife had gone away. Two months later he passed his wife in the street in the company of another man. Mr. Ernald JONES: Did you ever call to see whether your wife had returned home?- No. Do you know she lived with her mother in Plymouth for some time afterwards?- No. Are you going to tell the court that you did not know that your wife lived with her mother in the same house as you had been living with her and that she was there until 1924?-I was told on August Bank Holiday, 1918, that my wife had gone-that she did not wish to see me any more. Witness did not know that his wife returned the following Saturday. Second "Husband's" Promise. Alfred William SKINNER, Embankment-road, Llanelly, a tinworker, said that on December 26, 1924, he went through a form of marriage with defendant in Christchurch, Llanelly. She had been an excellent wife to him, and when she was free defendant would certainly marry her. Detectiver-sergeant W.J. THOMAS said that, in the course of a statement to him, defendant said, "My husband, Francis Baynard RICHARDS, was a very cruel man, and kept me short of money. He left me on a Sunday in August, 1918, and I have not seen him since. I did not look for him, for he was to cruel for me to live with him. I thought he was dead, and believing this, I went through a form of marriage with SKINNER. It is eight years since I last saw my husband." Defendant, who pleaded not guilty, was committed for trial at the Carmarthen Assizes. Sir David R. LLEWELLYN'S advice to a neighbour who had an altercation with one of his (Sir David's) gamekeepers was quoted at Whitchurch Police-court on Monday when Thomas John LANGDON, of Pentrebane Farm, St. Fagan's summoned Samuel PRICE for assault. PRICE had taken out a cross-summons. It appeared from the evidence that a quarrel devoped over an accusation by PRICE that one of LANGDON'S dogs had been killing Sir David's R. LLEWELLYN'S pheasants. LANGDON said that PRICE refused to leave the premises, got hold of him by the collar. pushed him about the farmyard, and threatened to strike him.. Replying to Mr. Gordon WILLIAMS, for the defence, witness admitted that he complained to Sir David R. LLEWELLYN (PRICE'S employer), who told him that he had better sleep over it. Both cases were dismissed. Mr. Llewelln FRANCIS  appeared for LANGDON. Mr.C.H.
