Matthews , of Townsend Farm , Brampton Abbots , which occurred very suddenly in a nursing home in London , on Saturday morn- ing last , at the age of 59 years . Some weeks ago Mr. Matthews underwent an operation for appendicitis , and from this he appeared to be recovering splendidly , but unfortunate- ly fresh complications arose and he passed away as stated . Deceased was the second son of the late Mr. Charles Matthews , of Chilston , Madley , and he had been farming Townsend Farm , Brampton , for the last six years . Prior to coming to Townsend Farm , Mr. Matthews resided at , Hill Farm , Llangarron for 14 years . He was a most upright and success- ful business man , and his abilities as a far- mer and a stock breeder are so well known throughout the Ross district , that further comment is needless here . While at Bramp- ton , deceased served the parish as a Guard- fan of the poor , and also as a Rural District Councillor , from which position he retired at the last expiration of his term of office . He leaves a widow and two sons , and with them the heartfelt sympathy of all the far- mers and friends in the neighbourhood is extended . The funeral is fixed for 3 o'clock at Bramp- ton Church this day ( Thursday ) . Col. Plant : Would the same machine he used for celling coal Witness : No , sir . There would he a sep- arate machine for that purpose . This ma- chine was against the men . Defendant : When did you last see the machine Witness : I think it was on the 12th of December last . Defendant : It was correct then P Witness : Yes , it was passed as correct . Defendant ( who is hard of hearing and had had the inspector's evidence read over to him ) : You say the machine worked slow . Against whom the purchaser , or the seller ? Witness : It worked slow against the men . If you were selling coal , it would weigh against the seller . Defendant : But we were buying coal . Mr. Deakin : Would it register less weight for the workman ? Witness : Yes . Mr. Westaway said a great many state- ments had been made about Ruardean Hill and district , contributing largely to Cinder- ford expenditure . In the Drybrook ward there were 297 houses , and the average rate able value of 206 of these was £ 3 7s , 11d . per annum . The householders on Ruardean Hill were not called upon to pay a penny a day a year for the education of their chil- dren in the school there . He did not use that as an argument against giving Ruar- dean Hill water . They did not want ex- travagant , wild reckless statements to he made outside . The resolution , on being put to the meet- ing , was carried without dissent . The Medical Officer ( Deputy - Surgeon - Gen- eral O. W. Andrews , R. N , ) said that he , like the Chairman had been accused of not being public - spirited enough over this matter Defendant : He tested the machine in De- He was not unmindful of the needs of cember , and he said it was all right then . the district , and would like to see water laid One must , however , use Since that time we have been mining under on to every house . the ground where the machine stands , and judgment in these matters , and cut one's coat perhaps the ground has shrunk .

Mr. Latham put in pay sheets to show that did not know anything about the local con- the men were paid for day work , but after - ditions , he was afraid they would have a rate wards admitted that some of them were paid which would absolutely paralyse the whole by the ton . What the inspector had said as to the machine weighing against the men might be true , but it was unknown to him ( defendant ) . Mr. Deakin : Are you working coal under that machine Defendant : Yes , immediately underneath it . Mr. Deakin : It is not for me to suggest whether that is a wise proceeding . Defendant : Well , we are working just over that area now . The Chairman said the Bench considered a technical offence had been committed , but the Inspector was perfectly justified in bringing the case before the Court . They At a later stage in the meeting , the Rev. W. Rankin_moved " That the plans for the Ruardean Hill water scheme be completed and sent to the Local Government Board , in order that a loan may be taken up and the work proceeded with immediately . " He said that since he gave notice of the motion a very grave crisis had arisen . He knew it would be impossible to obtain a loan at the present time , but he thought there was plenty of work which could be done in the meantime . Mr. Tingle seconded the resolution , which , after a short discussion , was carried unanim- ously . would not deal severely with defendant , who with regard to the Ruardean water supply would be fined 10s . and 8s . costs ... WHITCHURCH AND THE WAR . DEFINITE STEPS TO BE TAKEN . A public meeting was held in the School- Wednesday last , room , Whitchurch , on to consider what steps should be taken locally to assist in the present crisis , when a large number of parishioners were present . On the motion of Mr. William Brown , took the chair . LITTLE BOY'S TERRIBLE DEATH . seconded by Mr. Lewis , C.C. , Dr. Wyborn FALLS INTO BUCKET OF BOILING WATER . On Tuesday afternoon , Mr. T. Hutchin- son , the district Coroner , held an inquiry respecting the death of Victor Charles Sher- wood , aged two years and two months , the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Sherwood , of New - street , Ross , who died in Ross Cottage Hospital on Sunday night , as a result of being terribly scalded at mid - day on Sunday , the little fellow having fallen backwards into a bucket of boiling water , in which vegetables had been boiled . Mr. G. Eltome was chosen foreman of the jury , which com- prised Mr. H. C. Jefferies , Mr. W Bevan , Mr. J. Maddocks , Mr. W. E. Smith , Mr. J. Jenkins , Mr. C. Keyse , Mr. W. Carwardine , Mr. T. Green , Mr. W. Pearson , Mr. J. Drew , and Mr. W. Baylis . It was reported by Mr. Westaway that suggestions had been made which would al- leviate the present trouble . Replying to a question , the Chairman ( Mr. G. H. Rowlinson ) assured Mr. Watkins that when the loan was asked for , Viney Hill would be thought of also .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette . Dr. Wyborn said that they were there that evening to consider what steps they should take to help in the present crisis . It was not a crisis that they had sought , but one that had been thrust upon them ( hear , hear ) . It was brought about by a man whose ideas were far beyond his power of accomplishing ( applause ) .

Yours obediently , In reply to the Coroner , Mrs. Dix said that what Mrs. Sherwood had said was true as far as she knew . Dr. Campbell said he was called to see the deceased at the hospital on Sunday . He found him suffering from very severe scalds all down his back and legs . It was a hope- less case from the first , and the child died at 9 p.m. from the scalds and shock arising therefrom . " BURBERRY " CLIENTS in the district can place their orders with Messrs .
