Richard Garfield HANBURY, a spare-time agent in the employ of the Hearts of Oak Company,
was charged at Port Talbot on Thursday with the embezzlement of two sums of 12s.8d. and
14s.9d. respectively, and further with forgery of a document. Mr. Rupert LEWIS (Swansea)
prosecuted, and Mr. Trevor PARKER (Port Talbot) defended.
Mr. Rupert LEWIS said defendant was employed to collect premiums in his area and account
for them to the district manager at Swansea. It was also his duty to pay in fire-claims
paid to him and authorised for payment by the Swansea manager, the money being deducted
from premiums collected.
The two charges referred to premiums paid to defendant and not accounted for.
Richard PRICE, Eagle-street, Port Talbot, said he had a fire insurance policy with the
Hearts of Oak Insurance Company, and claimed 30s. for a small fire, but he had not been
paid, and the receipt produced did not bear his signature.
Charles NORVICK, Cwmavon-road, said he paid the accused 12s.8d. for plateglass insurance,
and Charles BARRETT, Gwendoline-street, spoke to paying 14s.9d. fire insurance policy.
Defendant reserved his defence, and was committed for trial, bail being allowed.
