Western Mail Tuesday April 20th 1926. A claim for damage amounting to £57 was made at Aberdare County-court, on Monday by Ernest ORGAN, a collier, of Werfa-place, Cwmbach, against Maelgwyn JENKINS, a motor-van driver, of Trecynon, for alleged negligent driving which resulted in injuries to the plaintiff. The plaintiff said that, having adjusted the stand of his motor-cycle on the Cwmbach road, he was about to move off when the defendant's motor-van approached from behind without any warning and crushed his foot, while an ankle joint was sprained and one of his legs was lacerated. Deputy-judge Clarke WILLIAMS found for the plaintiff, who was awarded £35 damages. The burial of Mr. William Thomas DAVIES, of The Lowlands, Pontnewydd, took place in Holy Trinity Churchyard, the Vicar (the Rev. W.D.I. MACKINTOSH) officiating.
