LORRY OVER BRINK OF MOUNTAIN.
While travelling in a motor-lorry over the Black Mountain from Brynamman to
Llangaddock, Mr. Marshall MORRIS, of Penybank, Ammanford, met with an alarming
accident.
He was accompanied by his man, Owen REES, and, after they had passed a
hair-pin bend and were going down the road on the Gwynfi side, the vehicle
dashed over the brink and down the steep mountainside for a distance of 30 to 40
yards, where it still remains.
Both men were able to jump clear and escaped injury, and the lorry was not
damaged.

FRAUD CHARGE FAILS-Cardiff Travellers Who Ordered A Car.
Without calling on the defence, the Cardiff magistrates on Thursday dismissed a
charge against Henry FARMER, traveller, Cardiff, of obtaining by false pretences
a motor-car, valued at £160, the property of the A. T. MORSE Automobile Company
(Limited), Charles-street, Cardiff, with the intent to defraud. Mr. Charles
HARDWICKE prosecuted, and Mr. Harold LLOYD appeared for the defence.
Arthur Thomas MORSE, 35, Stacey-road, Cardiff, managing director of Morse's
Automobile Company, told the court that FARMER showed him a business card of the
Wholesale Fittings Company (Limited), Bristol, and ordered a two-seater on
behalf of his company. He was told that the car would be released when the
cheque was received, but he was lent a car in the meantime.
Some days later FARMER produced a letter, which he doubled up, and the witness
read a sentence which ran "Regarding the car, there will probably be a dely of a
day or two before the cheque is forwarded." The letter convinced witness, and he
made out a receiving paper for the car, which FARMER signed on behalf of the
Wholesale Fittings Company, and took the car away. As the cheque did not arrive
witness wrote to the Wholesale Fittings Company, and, later, saw the managing
director when as a result of what he said, a warrant was applied for.
The case was dismissed as stated.
