Western Mail Thursday November 18,1926. No. 210. PROTEST BY BATH MAGISTRATE—An Abertillery Man Acquitted. A case heard on Wednesday by the Bath City magistrates, involving a grave charge against an Abertillery man named Ernest Arthur Albert NIXEY, who was eventually acquitted, was marked by a remarkable incident. NIXEY declared that at the time certain incidents occurred in the Royal Victoria Park he was in another part of the city. His wife and mother were in court to support his alibi. When the former was called to give evidence, the mother was ordered out of court. Alderman A. WILLS, a prominent magistrate and ex-mayor, at once rose from his place on the magisterial bench and made an indignant protest. " The police," he said, "have just ordered a witness out. They did not order their own witnesses out. I object strongly to that partiality and one-sidedness. Prisoner's mother has been ordered out. It is not fair." When the Chairman announced the acquittal of NIXEY, Alderman WILLS said he quite agreed it was a very proper case for the park-keepers to have brought forward.
