    Notes:

    Court Proceedings:
    At the Petty Sessions Elizabeth Authorina Chard of Church Square, Midsomer Norton applied for a separation order against her husband Arthur Thomas Chard quarryman of Moon's Hill, Gurney Slade on the grounds of persistent cruelty. They married 1 May 1900 and there were 5 children. At that time her husband was a farmer with 18 cows and 70 acres of land, under his father.

    The Complainant alleged that owing to drink he neglected his business and as a result was now a quarryman. Whilst under the influence of drink he had kicked her and neglected her and the children. On 2nd April she left home because she was in danger of her life. On March 30th he threatened to commit a "good murder" between Gurney Slade and Old Down before the morning and between 12 and 1 o clock he beat her. On the following day she asked him what he meant by his remarks and he threatened to "spade her into pieces with a spade". He told her to leave him and he would allow her 25s a week to keep away. On 1st April he came home and found her in the house and told her to go.

    In August 1911 her mother took one of the children and the defendant at once stopped some of the money he paid to her for household purposes because there were not so many children to keep. If she earned any money milking he would stop the equivalent out of her weekly allowance. She was afraid to go back to him because he was so cruel to her. Ivan Chard, aged 11, said he had seen his father hit his mother on many occasions. The noise his father made at night had kept them awake. Evelyn Chard, aged 10, corroborated and said she saw her father on one occasion sharpen a bill-hook and he said he would chop their heads off.

    The defendant denied he was cruel and said he was a loving and devoted husband. He was willing to take his wife back and keep a happy home.
    Defendant alleged that his wife wanted to go to Midsomer Norton to live with her people, and consequently left his home. He described his wife's story as a pure invention.

    The Bench granted the separation order and ordered the defendant to contribute 10s a week towards his wife's maintenance. Mrs Chard was given the custody of the children and the defendant was ordered to pay the costs of ?1-13-6d.
