News Items  APRIL 1st to JUNE 30th 1926.    Number Three-Hundred three.   Western Mail Wednesday June 9th 1926. Mr. W. Lyndon MOORE, held an inquiry at Newport on Tuesday regarding the case of  Enoch WILLIAMS 75,of 53, Liscombe-street, Newport, who died following injuries received in a motor accident. Mr. T. Baker JONES, appeared on behalf of the relatives, and Mr. F.H. DAUNCEY represented Louis MARKS, 238, Corporation-road, owner and driver of the car involved. Claud MORRIS, steelworker, 50, Liscombe-street, Newport, told the coroner that he stepped into the centre of Cromwell-road and immediately he heard a horn blown. After that he lost consciousness Leonard W. TROATH, 40, Oakley-street, Newport, stated that after striking MORRIS the car swerved into a lampost three yards away, and afterwards struck WILLIAMS who was in the gutter. Thomas WATERS, army pensioner, Jenkins-street, Newport, said that he was talking to WILLIAMS from the pathway, WILLIAMS being on the road about two yards from the kerb. Loius MARKS, 238, Corporation-road, Newport, tobacconist and newsagent, owner of the car, said he was well accustomed to driving. He noticed a man attempt to cross the road. When about twenty yards off witness sounded his horn, and the man, for some unaccountable reason, stepped more in front of the car, and the off wing struck him. A verdict of "Death from shock following injuries received from being accidently knocked down by a motor-car" was returned. A, thrill was caused in Broad-street, Barry on Tuesday, when an omnibus, owned by Messrs. WILLIS and Co., Barry, turned turtle after mounting the pavement and  colliding with railings opposite the Theatre Royal. The driver, Mr. Victor GRAY, Plymouth-road, Barry Island, was negoiating the bend  from Broad-street into Gladstone-road on his way to the Cadoxton'bus stand, when the sterring gear snapped . The vehicle careered over the pavement and threw the driver against the railings. GRAY was carried in an unconscious condition to the grocery shop of Mr. W.E. WOODHAM, Broad-street, who was formerly quartermaster of the Barry Red Cross V.A.D.,  but it was discovered that his injuries were not serious. The 'bus conductor D. BROOKE, of 20, Phyllis-street, Barry Island, escaped serious injury, being thrown on top of the driver as the latter crashed asgainst the railings. When a heavy laden motor-lorry was descending the hill in Fields-road, Newport, on Tuesday evening the braske failed to act and the vehicle became uncontrollable.  Before it got to the bottom of the hill, however, the driver, in order to avert what would have been a nasty accident, steered the lorry into the entrance wall of a house. The force of the impact was so great that the wall was knocked down, and the vehicle ploughed on over the debris until the two front wheels collapsed underneath it, and the chassis was smashed almost to pieces. The driver, who had remained at his post, was, fortunately, uninjured. When Isaac ANDREWS 24, a motor-driver, of Aberdare, was summoned at Tredegar on Tuesday for having driven a lorry backwards farther than was necessary, for using obscene language, and for being disorderly in the street on May 10, a neat tribute was paid to the conduct of the local miners. Police-constable PHIPPS said when he spoke to him defendant made use of a filthy expression and then addressed the crowd of about 200 which had gathered, and said that he was driving foodstuffs for them and was being reported for nothing. Someone in the crowd shouted to him. "Don't have too much to say: the police here are too popular for you to molest them" Defendant said, "If there is ever a riot in Tredegar, and I am here, I will put it about you." Mr. Arthur EDMUNDS, licensee of the Red Lion, Tredegar, said the crowd was entirely on the side of the policeman. It was not the fault of the defendant that the crowd was not incited to something very serious. Other civilians gave similar evidence. Defendant said he was driving a food lorry to Tredegar. It failed to take the hill, and he had to turn it around and drive it backwards. All he told the officer not to be mean. Defendant was fined £10 on the motoring charge and ordered to pay £1 costs on the two other counts with the alternative, in default, of two months. John CARPANINI, restaurant proprietor, High-street, Merthyr, was fined £10.(and £1 costs) at the local court on Tuesday for driving a motor-car in a dangerous manner. Evidence was given by Police-constable YOUNG that CARPANINI drove over the Quakers' Yard  new bridge at 35 miles an hour. People at the cross-roads had to jump out of the way. Mr. T.W. LEWIS (for the defence). You telephoned to Merthyr to send another officer to CARPANINI'S shop. Why did you not signal him to stop as he passed you? Constable YOUNG: If I had attempted to stop that man it would have been sudden death for someone. CARPANINI'S car was in the of overtaking three others, and if he (the officer) had stepped into the road he would have been knocked down by one of them. The defence was that CARPANINI merely accelerated to get clear of the other cars. His speedometer recorded no more than twenty miles an hour. Photograph Page. Mr. Walter E. JAMES and Miss M.

A charge against the cyclist, John ALLEN, of Sarn, Newtown, was dismissed. Two unemployed miners, David POWELL and Henry LEWIS, of Troedyrhiw, were committed  by the Merthyr magistrates on Tuesday for trial at the local quarter sessions on a charge of having severed coal from the Hill's Plymouth Colliery Company's Watercourse Level. The prosecuting solicitor, Mr. Taliesin GRIFFITHS (of  Messrs. Gwllym JAMES, LLEWELLYN and Co), stated that the coal was worked from a barrier which hard supported the roof and held back a large volume of water. If it collapsed the workings would be flooded. The evidence was that four cubic yards of coal had been taken out of the barrier, which was  considerably weakened in consequence. John Patrick
