Western Mail Wednesday June 16th 1926. Maggie Maud CARWARDINE, of Williams-terrace, Treharris, was granted a maintenance order of 20s. a week against her husband, Bertram James CARWARDINE, of Bargoed, at Merthyr on Tuesday, on the grounds of desertion. In cross-examiation by Mr. C. DAUNCEY solicitor for the defendant, the woman, who was represented by Mr. John C. PROLE, denied having misconducted herself with a miner named Albert KING, whose acquaitance she was said to have made on a boat trip to Weston. Evidence was given on sobpoena by KING that subsequent to the Weston visit he met Mrs. CARWARDINE at a Bargoed dance-hall. He later called at her house, and misconduct took place there. The Stipendiary (Mr. R. A. GRIFFITH): What made you betray this woman to her husband ?-I did not. she betrayed herself by telling him everything. He accused me of it and I admitted it. In granting the woman an order, the Stipendiary said that the magistrates would not be justified in believing the allegation of misconduct on the unsupported testimony of this man KING, who if his evidence was to be believed, would be nothing more than an unmitigated blackguard. Alfred Craddock FORD, salt merchant, Brynmawr, claimed damages for personal injuries and loss of business from John Edward DAVIES, provision merchant, Brynmawr, as the result of a collision that took place on the road between Gilwern and Crickhowell on July 26, 1924. There was a counter-claim. Mr. Kirkhouse JENKINS (instructed by Mr. W.A. JONES, Brynmawr) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Trevor HUNTER and Mr. Carey EVANS, (instructed by Mr. Evan DAVIES, Cardiff for the defendant. Plaintiff was riding a motor-cycle and defendant driving a car at the time of the accident. Plaintiff suffered a compound leg fracture and was in hospital for a long time. There was a conflict of evidence as to which party was travelling on the proper side of the road, but in the end the jury found for plaintiff and awarded him £66 damages. The practice of obtaining coal from the outcrop ended in another tragedy in the Western Valley of Monmouthshire, on Tuesday, when John REES, aged 20, residing at 119, Marine-street, Cwm, was killed by a fall whilst working the outcrop coal on the mountain side between Cwm and Manmoel. It appears that there were four men together but, fortunately, the other three were not in the hole when the fall occurred.
