Lilian BIRD, at present residing with her parents at Porth, applied at Newport on Monday for a seperation order against her husband, Thomas BIRD, of 26, Lime-street, Newport. Mr. W. Pitt LEWIS, for applicant, stated that efforts had been made to bring about a reconciliation since the adjournment of the case three months ago. Defendant had a home for her, but applicant was not willing to return. Mr. F.H. DAUNCEY, for the defendant, said that the couple had been married only three or four years. The defence was that no real case of persistent cruelty (the ground for the application) had been made out. Letters had been written, but the couple had not met during the last three months. After retiring the Bench adjourned the case for another month, hoping that a better spirit would prevail. Burglars have again been busy in Newport. Visiting Claremont, Gold Tops, the residence of Mr. W.J. FOX, they cut the telephone wires to render the instrument useless, and afterwards ransacked the lower rooms of the house. They took a wallet containing a couple of Treasury notes and small articles of jewellery. They then entered Mrs. FOX'S bedroom and on waking her from her sleep departed in haste. Another case of burglary is also reported from the Talbot Inn, Newport, where £10 was taken. An echo of a Cardiff matrimonial case came before the magistrates on Monday afternoon. A young woman named Hannah PUGH applied for the legal custody of her two children, Audrey PUGH and William PUGH. Mr. Tom JOHN, who appeared for her, said that on January 22, 1924, a maintenance order was made against the defendant. In April of the present year defendant was granted a revocation of the order on the ground of the wife's misconduct. Defendant, who had gone to live at Coventry, took the little girl away from the custody of the mother and placed her in the care of a relative. The boy was in the Edward Nicholl Home. Defendant said he objected to the children being in custody of his wife, as she could not look after them. Mrs. PUGH said she had been in the workhouse recently. The Bench dismissed the wife's application. Mr. Owen EVANS, a Morriston tenor, has been engaged by Mr. F.E. FRANKS, as chief tenor of his touring company in "The Love Birds." Mr.W.J.

John Henry NICHOLAS, who lived in apartments with EDMUNDS, said that on Saturday he went into the coal-house, where he saw EDMUNDS lying on the coal with his throat cut. A razor was lying near his foot, and the blade was covered with blood. EDMUNDS had been complaining recently of pain from a wound in one of his legs, he having had a serious accident some years ago. Mrs. EDMUNDS said her husband had recently been suffering from sleeplessness. Dr. James DONALDSON, Abertridwr, said death was due to the wound in the throat, which could have been self-inflicted.
