    3. Western Mail Friday April 23rd 1926. Walter FILER, collier, Lower Duffryn Colliery, Mountain Ash, of Cefnpennan, was fined £3 and costs at Abercynon on Thursday for riding on a journey of trams, behaving in a violent manner about the mine, and assaulting John HAYES, a rider. The reserved judgement has now been delivered by Deputy-Judge W. Hugh JONES, K.C., in the case recently heard at Bargoed County-court, in which Amelia HOWELLS, a married woman, of Brithdir, claimed £100 damages against David WILLIAMS, New Tredegar, in respect of injuries received whilst shopping in the Bargoed Market in July of last year, the defendant being the proprietor of the Market-hall. His Honour found for the plaintiff and awarded £30 damages and costs. Mr. Kirkhouse JENKINS, instructed by Mr. W. BATTERBEE (Bargoed) was for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. HOWE, instructed by Mr. John EVANS, defended. Robert WILLIAMS, of the Old Bakery, Ynysybwl, was summoned at Abercynon on Tuesday for selling milk alleged to be deficient in butter fat to the extent of 20%. Mr. David REES, for the defence, submitted "that the milk was sold as it came from the cow," which had recently calved. After hearing a good deal of evidence the Stipendiary (Mr. R.A. GRIFFITH) said the justices had come to the conclusion that the defendant sold the milk as it had come from the farmer, and that such milk had come from the cow. "We think," he went on, "that the point ought to be decided by the High Court some day whether or not the condition of the cow ought to be taken into consideration in such cases, and whether or not farmers are justified in supplying milk to a dairy-man immediately after a cow has calved." The summons was dismissed. Thanks largely to the organising ability of Mr. J. Goodliffe LLOYD and Mr. Ralph COOPER the fancy dress ball and social held at the Assembly-rooms, Barry, on Thursday evening under the auspices of the Barry branch of the Junior Imperial League proved thoroughly successful. There was a large attendance including- Lady DAVIES, Mr. J.E. LOWDON, Mrs. PRICE-JONES, Mr. Morgan LLOYD, Miss Olwen LLOYD, Mr. T.W. MANNERS, Miss Constance HUGHES, Mr. Arthur BURRIDGE, Miss Gladys MURRAY, Mr. G. EVANS, Mrs. T. PRICE, Mr. Idris DAVIES, Mrs. GRANT, Mr. and Mrs. AMBROSE, Miss TAVERNER, and Mr. H. HAIG. -  Mr. Herbert M. HICKS (Conservative agent for Llandaff and Barry) was also present. Mr. W. GRANT presided at whist and Lady DAVIES distributed the prizes. Jack LESLIE'S Dance Band supplied the music. Harry DAVIES, a collier, of Ynysybwl, was fined £3 at Abercynon Police-court on Thursday for driving a motor-cycle along Robert-street, Ynysybwl, in a dangerous manner on April 11. The evidence of Police-constable COLE was to the effect that DAVIES was travelling at a speed of 40 to 45 miles an hour. He was asked to stop, but so fast was the machine going that it skidded 25 yards before it came to a standstill. Several of the people who were about the spot had to jump hastily aside to save themselves. The defendant admitted that his pace was something like 30 miles per hour, and added that the road was clear. The Stipendiary: You were travelling in a senseless fashion, and you will be fined £3.
