Western Mail Saturday May 29th 1926. Wendon HARRIS, an attendant at Angelton Asylum, was riding a pedal bicycle along Dunraven-place, Bridgend, when he came into collision with a motor-car driven by William ROONE, of Westfield-street, Cardiff. He was thrown through the windscreen, and sustained terrible injuries, the most serious being one on the back of his neck. He was immediately conveyed by Mr. ROONE to Bridgend Cottage Hospital, where he lies in a serious condition. Richard JONES, 38, a ship's fireman, who was knocked down by a motor-car on the Penarth-road at Grangetown, Cardiff, died at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary on Friday morning. On completion of twenty-five years' service in Holy Orders, the Rev. E.R. DAVIES, B.A.., Vicar of Cythfarthfa (Merthyr) has been presented by his parishioners with a set of stoles.

William BARTLE, pattern maker, Port Skewett, and Phillip WILLIAMS, farmer Undy, have been elected to fill casual vacancies on Chepstow Rural District Council. BARRY CHILD NEGLECT. Surprising evidence was given at the Barry Police-court on Friday, when Johanna BREWERTON/BREWERTEN.? a middle-aged Barry Dock woman was charged on remmand from Penarth with cruelty to her six children. Defendant, a smartly dressed woman, at times became highly excited and frequently interupted with long protests. Mr. J.B. Price HUGHES (Messrs. J.A. HUGHES and Co., solicitors, Barry) prosecuted. Mr. HUGHES said the children were found in the house alone, there was not a grain of food in the cupboard, and the children were said to have existed on the charity of neighbours. "The mother is away from morning till late at night," continued Mr. HUGHES. Regarding clothing at the time of police visits, each child was sparsely clad, the boys having no shirt. Two of them had no footwear, rags and sacking being tied around their feet. Each bed was in a horrible state, and vermin overran the walls and floor. Defendant had no ground to plead lack of means, for her husband, a boatswain regularly sent her £2.10s. each week, whilst her eldest son, who was also working, paid her 10s. weekly. Inspector L. KEMPSTER, of the R.S.P.C.C., then gave evidence. Replying to the clerk (Mr.J.W. MORRIS) witness admitted that each child was fairly nourished. They had been fed by neighbours and had been seen picking scraps of refuse from boxes in a lane at the rear of the house. Mrs. Mary FRANCIS, a tenant of other rooms in the house, stated that defendant had been at home at night only once during the last three months. Witness herself had frequently fed and clothed the children. Mrs. Grace AVIENT was called by defendant to give evidence, and said: "When I visited the house last week I found everything quite clean and in order." Inspector Frank EVANS proved two previous convictions at Swansea and one of cruelty to her children at Swansea in 1920, when she received three months' imprisonment. Mr. T.H. MORDEY (presiding) said the magistrates considered the case an extremely bad one, and in spite of repeated warnings defendant had not deviated from her deplorable ways. She would be sent to jail for three months' hard labour. The following are people holding office in the Welsh Areas covered by Western Mail at the time. JOHN J.
