Highweek Parish Council: A meeting of this body was held on Monday evening at the Girls’ Schoolroom … … Lighting of the Parish … … (discussion) … …  Mr. C. G. Vicary pointed out that this would mean more expense. The Clerk mentioned that there were 54 lamps in the parish, the cost of labour in lighting which was 19s a week. Mr. Jarvis thought the lamps should be cleaned every fortnight. It was owing to the dirt on the lamps that the light was so poor. No one seconded Mr. Adams’ motion. It was proposed by M. Olver and seconded by Mr. Shilston “That Messrs. Rogers, Pinsent and Adams form a sub-committee to inquire and report to the next meeting of the Council as to the position and condition of the lamps, and generally as to the lighting of this parish, and with suggestions”. This was agreed to, as also was another motion that the lamps of the parish be cleaned forthwith.

Tasker Divorce Suits: The hearing of the Tasker divorce suite was resumed this morning. Mr. Tasker, cross-examined, said he taunted his wife with being a butcher’s daughter because she wanted to make out that she had so many swell friends. He accompanied his wife to one of the masquerade ball dressed as Mr. McGooseley in Ally Sloper (laughter). Miss Tasker deposed to stopping at hotels with Mrs. Tasker. When Paton was there Mrs. Tasker was always about with one man or the other. Witness never saw any act of familiarity or impropriety either with Mr. Paton or Mr. Lowe. Ellen Pinsent, formerly chambermaid at a Plymouth hotel said that when the parties stayed there Mr. Paton occupied a bedroom opposite Mrs. Tasker’s. Two- or three-nights Paton’s bed was not occupied, and Mrs. Taskers looked as if two had slept there.
