Cyril Rawbone , Lower Hardwick , Dilwyn ,. traction engine driver , was summoned for driving a traction trucks and failing to have a cord or other engine drawing three means of communication extending from the rear waggon to the engine . He pleaded guilty . P.C. Miles stated that on June 29th at 11.30 a.m , he saw defendant driving a traction engine on the highway in the parish of Shobdon . There were three waggons at- tached to the engine , two being loaded . There was no communication cord from the rear waggon to the engine so he stopped defen- dant and asked him for an explanation . He replied that it had got broken to bits and ne should have applied for another . Witness had previously seen a motor - car proceeding in the same direction and it was a quarter of a mile before it could pass the engine . s Turnouts .

Defendant said it was impossible to hear anyone shouting on the rear waggon . Superintendent Rooke said he was having a lot of complaints though not against the defendant . Motorists could not get by these traction engines . Defendant : I always give them the road and always stop for a trap to go by . Mr. Fleming said ne thought a mirror might be used to show what was coming . In reply to a question defendant said he was driving for the Timber Supply Department . The Chairman asked defendant to let the foreman know that the Bench was very dis- satisfied with the way things were carried on . Defendant would be fined 10s . and he had . better get it out of the foreman . The Clerk : If he doesn't pay , let the police know . Defendant I will see that he pays ( laugh- ter ) . WARRANT TO BE ISSUED . Owing to the absence of the defendant an adjourned case could not be heard . The Clerk reminded the magistrates that at a previous court William Wyles , the Green , Leintwardine , was charged with stealing three half pounds of margarine . Sometime ago he was charged with taking food from the school . The magis trates adjourned the case to see what could be done because they considered that he was weak - minded and had not been properly fed . He was directed to write to the Clerk of the Peace to know what they could do , but he had heard nothing from him . Mr. Nott was also requested to see Mr. Cresswell . He did not know whether he had done anything . The Bench decided to issue a warrant just before the next meeting . COMRADES ' SPORTS AT PRESTEIGN . SUCCESSFUL EVENTS . Presteign Comrades are to be congrata- lated on the pleasant afternoon they provided for the local people on Monday last , and for the way they organised the little sports meet- ing was very creditable to all concerned in the management . The spice of novelty entered into many of the competitions taking place work in question during the afternoon , and the considerable number of spectators who attended in spite of the attractions elsewhere , showed that they appreciated the efforts of the Comrades to provide them with an interesting programme at home . Although the weather was not promising at first . the sun broke out later in the afternoon and made the affair quite enjoy- able . The sports were held in The Grove Meadows , close to the town , by the kind per- mission of Mr. Davies , and were opened by the Town Band , under the command of Mr. George Morgan , playing to the ground . The Manage- ment Committee were composed of a commit- tee of the members , augmented by other townsmen . The officials on the ground were Judge , Mr. William Thomas ; stewards , Messrs G. Rawlings , W. E. Jones , J. Mackintosh , W. Beavan , R. Jones , J. W. James and H. Lister ; with the Hon . Secretary , Mr. W. T.

Dancing on the Green was indulged in till dusk , which brought the close of a very pleasant evening . HEREFORD PENSION CHARGES . THE LEOMINSTER NEWS . AUGUST saw Mr. Jones and told him she was a little anxious as to whether she would be able to have the money , as she had found that the house she had taken in London was too small , that it would be quite all right , and that she and she had given it up . Mr. Jones told her he had received the cheque that morning . could have the money when it was ready , as Jones had not communicated with her . She had not been to the office since , and Mr. find with Mr. Jones . He was very pleasant . Cross - examined : She had no complaint to She promised to let Mr. Jones know when she had got a house , and he assured her that she would be able to have the money when she brought a letter from a landlord showing that she had taken a house . The Chief Constable ( Mr. T. Rawson ) de- In reply to the charge he said : " All I have to say is that I am perfectly innocent . " Wit- ness told him there would be other charges . Mr. Matthews submitted that on the evi- dence for the prosecution there was no case not keep this charge hanging over his head to answer . He contended that they should until November . The magistrates should not be influenced by the other charges which he was there to meet . It was extraordinary , the amount slackness that was tolerated at Fund and that of the Ministry was inter- the Pensions Office . The money of the King's mingled , and there was also the fact that there had been no audit since the King's Fund had been introduced . The evidence dis- closed absolutely nothing as to the stealing of the £ 32 105 . TUDOR BRADWEN JONES COMMITTED . At Hereford on Thursday week the charges in connection with the War Pensions Staff were carried further . There are now nine charges against Tudor Bradwen Jones , Secretary of the Committee , nine against Henry Chaston , clerk in the employ of the Committee and three against Edwin Noah Clayton , labourer , Allensmore .

Jones , " with intent to defraud ; ( 3 ) with Jones and Chaston , un- lawfully did conspire , confederate and agree together by divers false pretences to obtain £ 75 from the Ministry of Pensions . Mr. J. Moore ( Hereford ) prosecuted for the Crown , and Mr. T. A. Matthews ( Hereford ) was for the defencer , Mr. Moore opened the case against Jones , dealing particularly with the charge of steal- ing £ 32 10s . on April 3rd , and said there were a number of other charges which would be made , and he felt that it would be much more convenient if all the cases were heard before there was a committal on any one of them . Mr. Matthews : It seems that with the nuin- ber of charges you appear to suggest the case go on for a year at this rate . If that is the Ministry of Pensions ' idea of justice the sooner they altered it the better . I suppose they realise the flimsy nature of the evidence against the defendant . Mr. Moore : All the charges will be proved up to the hilt . Mr. Matthews : No doubt the idea is that the Magistrates will be biased in the other cases so that they will commit on charges which they would otherwise dismiss . The Chairman said they would hear the case , and if they thought it was a case for committal then they would commit on that one charge , Henry L. Dennison , 27 , Southfield Street , Worcester , accountant , auditor to the Here- fordshire and Worcestershire War Pensions Committees , said when he was first appointed to the office Jones was secretary and financial the defence . The Bench decided to hear the evidence for said the draft for £ 32 10s . from the King's The accused then went into the box . He Fund payable to Mrs. Peplow was received by him about March 27th , and he agreed with Mrs. Peplow's evidence as to what occurred on April at his office , excepting that he told her that he would keep the money in he office in readiness for her when she had a house to move to . The £ 32 10s . was placed in a cash box in an envelope marked " King's Fund . " though he was still responsible for it . There It was out of his direct control , al- when the audit was completed , and he told was undoubtedly a deficiency in the cash box Mr. Dennison that the £ 32 1os . should be in the cash box , making a cash discrepancy of £ 47 . In cross - examination , the accused said he drew the cheque so that Mrs. Peplow could He frequently saw the envelope in the cash have the money as soon as she applied for it . box . In reply to further questions by Mr. Moore , the accused said that it was at the suggestion of his Committee , on the ground of economy , that he had opposed the appointment of a separate finance officer . By the Chairman : Mr. Harry Chaston had charge of the cash box . Mr. Moore : Your suggestion is that any thing wrong must be the responsibility of the man who had charge of the cash box ? Accused : I suggest nothing . Mr. Matthews ( warmly ) : There seems no limit to the unfair methods adopted here . Mr. Moore : Well , what are the Bench and I to infer ? ( To the accused ) : Do you say the money was lost in the paying out on Wednesdays ? Accused : Quite possibly . Continuing to answer questions by Mr. Moore , the witness said possibly it was rather risky not to report the deficiency . He put the money in the pensions cash box be- cause there was nowhere else to put it . He had applied many times for a safe , and also The WORLD'S BEST DIP for SCAB since 1843 .
