nowadays, when girls of sixteen years of age, armed with powder and reeking with
scent, are allowed by their parents to go to these dancing-halls and to meet all
sorts of people and to go on dancing until late at night. There is no wonder
that that the sequel to all this matures in the police-court." said Mr. T. B.
LUDFORD at Llanelly Police-court on Wednesday when Sally DAVIES, Heol Goffa,
Llanelly, a girl of sixteen was summoned for stealing from the local dance-hall

I am looking for a death record for Sarah Prichard who married Benjamin Thomas in 1814. Benjamin, widower, married Hannah Williams in 1822. Both of these marriages were in Bedwellty, Monmouthshire. So it would be between 1814 and 1822, but I'm thinking around 1820-21. My greatgrandfather, Phillip Thomas was born in Bedwellty, Monmouthshire at that time and I'm wondering if she died in childbirth. I know that his father's name was Benjamin, from Phillip's marriage records. Is there any way that I can find this?

and he (witness) said to him. " I thought you were a teetotaller." (Laughter).
The officer said " I have to do this in my duty," and I advised him to put it in
a bottle so not to break his pledge. He, however, would not, and I lost nearly
half a pint of my drink because of him." ( Laughter.)

POLICE VISIT TO STORE-Alleged Find Of Sacks of Stolen Lead.
Jacob KROMSKY (39), a Swansea marine store dealer, pleaded not guilty before Mr.
Commissioner Hugh JONES K.C., to stealing and receiving a quantity of lead, the
property of the Ocean Dry Dock Company (Limited) and the Great Western Railway
Company. Mr. Verity PRICE (instructed by Mr. Ruert LEWIS) prosecuted, and Mr.
Walter SAMUEL (instructed by Mr. J. H. BENJAMIN) defended.
Mr. Verity PRICE said that the business, which was conducted at the Strand,
Swansea, was the property of KROMSKY'S wife, and the defendant was in active
control. Lead had been stolen, and the police gave KROMSKY and his foreman a
very full description of the missing property.
On September 18 his premises were searched by the police, but the lead was
not found. On October 11 the police again called at the premises, and found two
entries in the book relating to lead. Twenty sacks of lead were found on the
premises, and the police found that there was scrap at the top, and at the
bottom was the lead which the prosecution alleged was the stolen property.
The Commissioner indicated during the hearing of evidence that the court need
not trouble itself with anything except the charge of receiving.
Evidence was given by Detectives GARDGE and WRIGHT.
For the defence, Mr. Walker SAMUEL submitted that there was no evidence in law
to the effect that this stuff was ever in KROMSKY'S possession. The person who
owned and carried on the business was Mrs. KROMSKY.
The Commissioner, however, decided that the case must go to the jury.
KROMSKY said he originally owned the business himself, but sold it to a man
named B. L. LEWIS, who, two years later, sold it to his (defendant's wife).
During his wife's ownership he had managed the business, but did no buying. If
stolen lead had come in, and he knew it had been stolen, there would have been
nothing to prevent him melting it down to destroy its identity.
The Court adjourned until this (Wednesday) morning.
PENARTH DIVORCE SUIT-Insurance Broker Finds Letter To Wife.
Mr. William Robert HENDERSON, an insurance broker, of Westbourne-road.
Penarth, was granted a decree nisi with custody of the child by Mr. Justice
BATESON in the Divorce Division on Tuesday. The petition was on the ground of
the misconduct of his wife , Dorothy May, with Mr. Pryce JONES.
The suit was undefended.
Petitioner said that he was married to his wife at Llanishen on October 18,
1913, and for some time they lived at Pembroke House, Clifton. He interceped a
letter to his wife.
The hall-porter of the Grand Spa Hotel, Clifton, gave evidence that the
respondent and the co-respondent stayed at the hotel on two occaisions.
PENYGRAIG DOCTOR'S CAR IN TRADGEDY.
"Accidental death" was the verdict returned by Mr. R. J. REES, coroner, at an
inquiry at Trealaw on Tuesday on Trevor BROOKS (3) son of Mr. E. BROOKS, 287,
Brithweunydd-road, Trealaw, who was knocked down by the car of Dr. H. D.
LLEWELLYN, Penygraig. The evidence indicated that the boy ran across the road in
front of the car which was travelling at about ten miles an hour.
SWANSEA DRIVER'S LICENCE SUSPENDED.
Thomas Edward BOWEN, a taxi-driver, was fined 40s. at Swansea Police-court on
Tuesday and his licence was suspended for a month for dangerous driving on the
Mumbles-road on the night of November 10 last when three motor-cars were in
collisision near the Westcross Hotel.
ILLEGAL COUPONS-Cardiff Printers Fined £10 Each.
Four printers of ready-money football betting coupons were fined £10 each at
Cardiff on Tuesday.
The prosecutions were instituted as the result of police raids on Cardiff
commission agents on October 18.
The defendants were Herbert Steele WAKEFORD, carrying on business as C.
WAKEFORD and Sons at East Canal Wharf; William E. JONES, 1 Clive-road, Cardiff;
Alec WARD, 119, Queen-street; and Cardiff Printers (Limited) 142, City-road.
Mr. O. Temple MORRIS appeared for WAKEFORD and Cardiff Printers (on
instructions from Messrs. MacINTOSH, THOMAS, and Co. and Messrs. James MORGAN
and Co. respectively), Mr. B. W. P. MORGAN appeared for WARD (who it was stated,
printed the coupons for his own use), and Mr. J. Lewis WALTERS for JONES.
The defence in each case was that the coupons were printed after an assurance
had been given that they would be used for credit purposes only.
Mr. O. Temple MORRIS and Mr. Lewis WALTERS asked that the financial loss which
would be suffered by the defendants WAKEFORD, JONES, and Cardiff Printers should
be taken into consideration.
The Stipendiary (Mr. St. John FRANCIS-WILLIAMS) said this was rather daring.
It meant that because the defendants would no longer be able to carry on illegal
business he was asked to reduce the penalty.
DAIRYMAN'S CLAIM FAILS.
William SCHOFIELD, a dairyman, of Stumpy Lodge, sued Wilfred REYNOLDS, of
Station House, Argoed, in the same court for £16, damages to a milk float and
horse.
Mr. E. T. EDMUNDS, for complainant, said that defendant, in taking a bend on
the Colcot-Port-road on his motor-cycle , shot over to his wrong side and
crashed into a milk float.
In the collision the pillon rider, a young Blackwood woman named CHIVERS, was
killed.
His Honour, dismissing the claim for damages, said he was not satisfied that
defendant had been driving negligently.

Dear Listers,
For the past twelve years, at about this time each week, I announced the
Retrospectives that I'd just uploaded onto website.
Well, folks - the Retrospectives are no more! But as you'll see below,
'Images of Wales' is very much alive.
I have just finished transferring my website to its new location:
http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/
Selecting 'Images of Wales' provides you with two options:
1. Webpage Archive
2. Welsh Churches and Chapels Collection
The 'Welsh Churches and Chapels Collection' is identical to the one featured
on my old website, but it will increase in size at a faster pace.
The 'Webpage Archive' is a completely new feature, allowing you direct
access to over 200 archived 'Images of wales' webpages, the same webpages
that were previously only available two at a time on request as
'Retrospectives'.
You'll find my new website looks and feels very much like the old one. A few
of the old features have gone (e.g. the 'FAQs' and the 'Online Links'), and
databases such as the 'Welsh Ancestor List' and the 'Sounds of Wales' are
frozen - they will no longer be updated. This will allow me more time to
expand the 'Images of Wales' section of my website.
For the next few weeks, if you go to my old website, you'll be immediately
redirected to the new one. Once this transitional period is over, the old
website will disappear completely.
Finally, as part of the change, I am now using a new e-mail address:
john(a)jlb2011.co.uk
Please use this address whenever possible. My old address will remain active
for a while - at least until June - but I shall be giving increasing
priority to my new e-mail account.
The new e-mail and web addresses will appear under my signature at the
bottom of my e-mails.
Kind regards,
John

UNSEARCHED COLLIER-Hurt By Own Explosive In Cymmer Pit.

for contravention of the Coal Mines Regulations by firing two shots, as an

Oliver JOHN (Glyncorrwg), a collier, said that on April 27 he saw the defendant
charge a hole and later fire it . The following morning he heard, during the
course of the shift, a loud report, and shortly afterwards defendant shouted for
a light. He went up to defendant and found he had been badly injured about the
face and body.
William JONES (Glyncorrwg), fireman at the colliery, said he had sole charge
of the explosives, and did not issue any to defendant that day. He saw defendant
on the way out of the colliery and asked him where he got the explosives from.
He replied he brought them with him.
The Bench, in fining defendant 20s. in each case, said in their opinion the
officials of the colliery had been lax in their duty by not searching defendant
when he entered the colliery.

FALL FROM A TRAIN-Former Fishguard Banker Injured.
Something of a sensation was caused at Haverfordwest when it became known that
Mr. D. L. WILLIAMS, a well-known Fishguard man and a former bank manager, had
fallen from the train at Clynderwen and been removed to the Pembrokeshire County
Hospital in a critical condition.
Mr. WILLIAMS, who up till recently was manager of the Midland Bank at
Fishguard, resigned his position a short while ago. It will be recalled that his
name was mentioned in the Pembrokeshire Bankruptcy Court on September 20, when
Mr. James EVANS, clerk to the Goodwick Urban Council, was examined by the
register regarding a deficiency of £1,495.
Mr. WILLIAMS was taken ill on Sunday, and it was whilst he was on the way to
a London nursing home accompanied by his brother, on the mid-day train that the
unfortunate affair had happened a few miles on the Clynderwen side of Whitland
railway station.
After being dressed he was conveyed to hospital with serious injuries.
On inquiry late on Monday night it was ascertained that his condition had
slightly improved.
