Précis. The original article covers some fifty-column inches, or about 2500 words.
Meeting of the Elective Board, consisting of the Infirmary Board, the trustees and twelve governors to elect three honorary surgeons. The Mayor (Alderman R. Hirst) then vacated the chair, and Mr. Frederick Eastwood was appointed chairman.

The portrait was a half-length one in oils by local artist, Mr. S Gallimore. Mr. Mallinson had been connected with the Infirmary for forty-seven years as a member of the Board, off and on, and had occupied the position of president since the death of Mr. Laycock, some seven years previously.

Joseph Mallinson's Story
I was the second to come out.
This is what the newspapers said:
Almost immediately and unexpectedly the cage came up again, bringing another miner snatched from the tomb. He was carried in the arms of four of his comrades, and was evidently pretty strong, and he gazed around inquiringly. He was Joseph Mallinson, of Middlestown, who had only resumed work on Friday. The wildest excitement prevailed. The crowd could not be kept back, and truth to tell the police seemed to recognise the tender feelings, which prompted the eagerness of the many, and were very gentle in repelling them. Mallinson was taken to the joiner’s shop where restoratives were given to him.
The week after I was called to the Coroner's court to give evidence:
Joseph Mallinson: I live at [Middlestown] Briestfield, and was a coal-getter. At six o’clock we went down the drawing shaft. I went to my board. It was day work that I was doing. I was working by myself. I worked on until nearly giving-up time, two o’clock, without knowing that there was anything wrong at all. My hurrier had taken the last tub from me about noon. He is dead. He did not tell me there was anything wrong then, and he did not come again. He was about twenty minutes away at a time.
About two o’clock I saw Henry Wrathmell, who said, “there’s something wrong, but I cannot tell whatever it is.” He was working in the next board. We saw some smoke, and noticed a smell about it, but could not tell what it was.
There were some other men and boys. We made for Ingham’s Pit. I cannot say how far we went. We went some distance, and then made a turn. We got to a part where there was no road. The lamp of the leader went out, and we went back. We had much difficulty in breathing. All the lights went out.
Wrathmell laid down, remarking, “Oh, I am done.” Wrathmell prayed for his wife and children and then went asleep. We got back to near my ending again, and lay down on my tram, or lorry, and remained still. One of the men died; he breathed heavily and then ceased to breathe. That was about three o’clock.
I remained conscious all the time. I fell sideway once. I could not sit up because of my head. It appeared a long time. I crept under a sheet with Wrathmell.
It seemed a long time – about a week – lying there before I was found.

COMING OF AGE OF MR. T. HAROLD MALLINSON, LINTHWAITE
On Monday, during the dinner-hour, the employees of Messrs. George Mallinson and Sons, manufacturers of fancy woollens and worsteds, shawls, and travelling rugs, of Spring Grove Mills, Linthwaite, presented a gold watch, value twenty guineas, to Mr. T. Harold Mallinson, eldest son of Mr. Thomas Mallinson, J.P., on the occasion of his coming of age. The workpeople, to the number of 240, were present, and several neighbours, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mallinson, Mr. Herbert and Mr. Percy Mallinson, Miss Agnes Mallinson, Mrs. Arnold Broadbent, and the Rev. G. and Mrs Minedew. Mr. Eli Mallinson, J.P., was unable to be present. The chair was occupied by Mr. George Coultas, who explained the reasons why they were met together. After congratulating Mr. Harold on attaining his twenty-first birthday, he expressed a hope that the recipient would be long spared to live amongst them, and then called upon Mr. John Taylor, the oldest employee, to make the presentation.
Mr. Taylor referred to the time when he worked for the late Mr. George Mallinson, about forty years ago. He remembered, also, when Mr. William White, silk dyer, had his works where the present mill now stood, an uncle of his being then silk dyer for Mr. White...
In his reply, which is lengthy, rambling, and breaks into verse at one point, THM expresses his thanks, mentions that he has been among them for three or four years at Spring Grove Mills, but has only spent half his time with them. He comments: " I never did feel quite in my element in the business of woollen manufacturing, and if at times I have found fault, and grumbled when this was unnecessary, it must be put down largely to my inexperience. But bad trade does not help one to be even-tempered..."
His father, Thomas Mallinson, "who now has sole management of the business" returns thanks. Later he refers to his son's "severe illness two years ago." He remarks that Harold's "tendency to literary pursuits was strong."

THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT IN FRIENDLY SOCIETY DISPUTES
Elizabeth Mallinson, widow, of Gawthorpe, Lepton, brought an action against the New York Court (No. 302) of the Ancient Order of Foresters, which meets at the Beaumont's Arms Inn, Kirkheaton, and of which Lewis Stead is secretary, for £13 13s., the balance of the funeral money (after payment of the expenses incurred by the funeral) due and payable on the death of plaintiff's son, Abraham Mallinson, a member of the court.
- Mr. R. Welsh was for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. Gordon Learoyd (Learoyd & Co.) for the defendants.
- It was stated that the funeral money had been paid over to the wife of the deceased, who had not lived with him for nine years, and the plaintiff, who attended him until his death, it was submitted, would be cruelly treated if she was not entitled to the funeral money. A nomination paper made by the deceased in favour of his mother was put in, but the defendants questioned its legality, and had in consequence paid the money over to the deceased's widow.
- Mr. Learoyd raised an objection that the rules of the society provided for such disputes being settled by arbitration, and that his Honour had no jurisdiction.
- His Honour held the objection to be fatal to the plaintiff's case, and gave a verdict for the defendants, but on the application of Mr. Welsh gave leave to the plaintiff to appeal.

Importuning Passengers
Grace Mallinson, a woman of ill repute, of Castlegate, pleaded guilty to having, on the 24th May last, importuned passengers in King Street, for an immoral purpose.
Police constable Whitehead gave evidence in support of the charge.
The Chief Constable (Mr. Morton) stated that on the day in question the woman was apprehended, and let out to be summoned, and she then left the town, and had been away till recently.
The Defendant said that she was at the time in question living with a man, who sent her out, but she was now getting an honest living and had several places where she worked as a char-woman, and if she was now “sent down” she would lose them.
The Chief Constable said there was no doubt there was some truth in the woman’s statement that she was at the time of the charge living with a man who sent her out. She had not been here before since October 1896. The Magistrates adjourned the case for two months to see if she would conduct herself properly.
Accident In The Park
An exciting incident happened in Greenhead Park, on Sunday afternoon, about four ’o clock. A girl named Lily Mallinson, of Hawk Street, was wheeling a bassinette in which was seated a child named Ada Thompson, aged twelve months, daughter of William Thompson, of Hawk Street, when she incautiously allowed the carriage to run into the lower lake of the Park. A crowd quickly gathered, and a young man named Fred Harrison, of Paddock, mechanic, jumped into the water, and rescued the child, who appeared no worse for its immersion.

Serious Fall From A Mill
This morning, shortly before noon, a message was telephoned from Longwood for the police horse ambulance to be despatched immediately as a serious accident had happened. The ambulance was despatched, and it was then found that Thomas Mallinson, aged about thirty-five, a mason of Brow Road, Paddock, had fallen from a new mill which is being erected for Messrs. Crosland and J. Hirst and Sons, manufacturers, of Longwood. It seems that he was lifting a stone on the fourth storey, and he somehow over-balanced and fell to the bottom floor. His fall was broken by a number of joists or beams, but as may be inferred he had sustained serious injuries to the head, and on his body and legs. Dr. Shaw was called in and rendered temporary aid, and Mallinson was moved to the Huddersfield Infirmary and detained as an in-patient. He was in the service of Messrs. Mallinson and Sons, of Lockwood.

Huddersfield Borough Police Court.
Tea Leaves Cause Neighbours To Quarrel
David Mallinson, weaver, Mount, Longwood, was summoned for having ued abusive language towards Elizabeth Dyson, of Longwood.
Complainant said defendant taxed her with having thrown tea leaves on his doorstones, but though she was innocent he used some nasty language towards her on Saturday morning, the 1st April.
Mr. J.H. Turner, for the defence, said the affair was a neighbourhood quarrel, which might be called a storm in a tea-cup, especially as it arose from tea leaves.
Defendant said he had been annoyed by the complainant for some time, but he never used the langauge complained of.
Herbert Mallinson, son of the defendant, said he was present, and his father did not abuse Mrs Dyson.
The Bench dismissed the case.

SUDDEN DEATH: THE INQUEST
At Smith's Vaults, Folly Hall, yesterday, Mr. W. Barstow J.P., district coroner, held an inquiry into the death of John William Mallinson, of Back St. Thomas's Road, Huddersfield, who died suddenly at his home on the evening of Wednesday the 19th inst. Eliza Alice Mallinson, widow of the deceased, said her husband, who was a drysalter's labourer, came home from his work about six p.m., on the 19th inst, and appeared in his usual state of health. About seven o' clock, after he had had his tea, he was about to wash himself, when he suddenly fell down. She raised him and gave him a little water. He did not say anything, nor take any notice of her. She called in Mrs Marshall, and also sent for Dr. Pullen of Paddock, who arrived immediately, but deceased had expired in the meantime. Her husband had complained of a lump on the right side of the windpipe, and of feeling rather weak on the morning of his death. With these exceptions, he had complained of nothing much.
By the Coroner: He felt weak, no doubt, on account of the heat and hard work.
Martha Zebudah Marshall, wife of Houghton Marshall, of Back St. Thomas's Road, said she heard the last witness scream, and went into her home to see what was the matter. The deceased was lying on the kitchen floor. He did not appear to be conscious. He died within ten minutes of falling.
Dr. Pullen said he hurried to the house of the deceased on his bicycle immediately on receiving the message. He found the deceased on the floor. He was perfectly quiet, and did not give any signs of any trouble. He discovered a small enlargement on the glands in front of the windpipe. From his experience he knew that it was a common thing for people to have palpitation and a quick pulse who were in such a condition, and a failure of the heart's action generally supervened. The intense heat and hard work would aggravate matters. He had come to the conclusion that deceased had died of failure of the heart's action, due to weakness and the presence of a goitre.
The jury returned a verdict in accordance with Dr. Pullon's statement.

Richard Mallinson Tree 12
CHARGE OF WIFE DESERTION AND NEGLECT
Richard Mallinson, cloth finisher, Stanningley, near Leeds, was charged with having within six months past deserted and neglected to support his wife, Hannah Mallinson, of Paddock Brow.
Mr. Welsh was for the complainant, and Mr. J.H. Sykes (John Sykes and Son) for the defendant, to whom she had been married thirty one years, lived in Mount Street, Lockwood, but he got into trouble four years and a half ago, and the home was sold up. She went to live with her brother, and the defendant went to work at Stanningley. There he cohabited with another woman, and in September 1887, in order, as he said, to get rid of her, he induced his wife to go to America, saying he would follow her. She went on the 6th of that month to America, and lived with her and his son. The defendant never went out to America, nor answered letters sent him. Seven weeks ago today she came back from America, and she found that he was working at Yeadon, and still living with the same woman. He had never contributed to the complainant's maintenance since she went away, and she had never seen him till this morning. She denied in cross-examination that she sold up the home, went to America of her own accord, and deserted her husband.
The defence was that that was what the complainant did, that therefore the Bench should make no order, and that the defendant was not a cloth finisher now, but attending to a tentering machine at a dyehouse at Guiseley, and had only 25s. to 35s. a week. He lived in lodgings when his wife went away, and did now, but not with a woman as his wife, and he had not since he went away, but he had lodged at the house of Mrs. Kirk, Stanningley, all the time.
The Bench made an order for the defendant to pay his wife 10s. a week and 13. 6d. costs.
