AT Bromsgrove Petty Sessions, Sarah Pugh, of Hanover Street, applied for a separation order against her husband Samuel Pugh saying he spent all of his money on drink and neglected to provide maintenance for her and their three children. She said she received nothing but curses and ill usage and last week had received a black eye and a bruised arm. He claimed that she had set about his head with the heel of her boot, leaving him with two black eyes and one of his teeth broken. The order was granted.

AN estimated 10,000 people attended a Unionist demonstration in Hagley park. Attendees wanted to show that they were tired of the present government and the way it was failing to listen to the electorate. Attendees listened to several speeches, discussing a new Insurance Act and the issue of home rule in Ireland, which was on the Government agenda.
