"An inquest was held at Doncaster yesterday on George Frederick Greenhough [56], schoolmaster, of Tickhill, who, while walking with his wife near Tickhill on February 18th, was knocked down and fatally injured. Another man, a cyclist, involved in the accident, is still in the Doncaster Infirmary and was unable to give evidence. The widow, Gertrude Mary Greenhough, said that she was walking with her husband on the Maltby and Tickhill road, and when near the railway bridge, they noticed a motor-car with bright lights approaching. Witness stepped on to the footpath behind her husband. After the car had passed she saw a bicycle pass her quickly, and heard a crash. She found her husband and the cyclist lying in the road. Both were removed to the Doncaster Infirmary, where her husband was found to be dead. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned."

"Douglas Needham [49], farmer, of Lindrick Farm, Tickhill, was sentenced to three months imprisonment at Doncaster today for indecently assaulting a 15-year-old girl. He pleaded guilty to one offence, but denied three others. In a statement to the police Needham alleged that the girl was to blame, and in evidence today said that the girl had tempted him. The girl, in evidence, denied that she was in any way to blame. Asked by Mr. W. L. Crawford, defending, if she had been a good girl, she said she had tried to be. She denied that her father had turned her out because of the late hours she kept and of her bad conduct. The girl was remanded to Hope House for a week on a charge of being a young person in need of care and protection."
