Arthur POACH, a dock labourer, was fined £10 or two months, by the Cardiff Stipendiary
(Mr. W.St. John FRANCIS-WILLIAMS) on Friday for causing a horse unnecessary suffering.
Police-constable PRESS said that the animal was lying in a field and was unable to stand.
Mr. P.J. MULLANE, a veterinary surgeon, said it should have been fed on soft food because
of its bad teeth. It was apparently unable to crop the grass.
Edward CASTLE, George-street, Newport, a general dealer, was charged at the local court on
Friday with stealing wallet and £16. 10s. from Thomas RUSSELL, Bristol seaman.
Prosecutor told the court he had been drinking in the company of CASTLE for three hours
and then went to the shipping office to be paid off. There he received £17.5s.7d. He
accepted an invitation to have dinner with CASTLE. He went to his house in George-street
and went to sleep on a bed upstairs. When he awakened the wallet, three £5 notes, and
three 10s. Treasury notes were missing.
Eileen WILLIAMS said that she saw CASTLE cut away the inside pocket of RUSSELL'S coat
with a pair of scissors while he was sleeping. He had asked her torob RUSSELL, but she
refused. CASTLE offered her a £5 note, saying that she could have half of it. She tried to
awaken RUSSELL, but "he seemed as if he had been doped."
The wallet was found in CASTLE'S right-hand coat pocket by Detective ROWTHORN.
Prisoner said he had no idea that the wallet was in his pocket. He denied the story of the
girl WILLIAMS.
The bench found the charge proved and sentenced CASTLE to three months' imprisonment
with hard labour.
A further sentence of three months with hard labour was inflicted for living on the
earnings of two young women, the sentence to run consecutively.
