Thanks to all for the suggestions, everyone.
That's a great newspaper archive indeed!
Unfortunately the Merlin is only missing a couple of issues, and of course one has to be
the one I'm after!!
However, it is certainly great reading, and I'll keep checking back in case the issue
I need comes online.
All the best
Clare.

The actual larceny occurred on 8 Aug 1834, and on 22 Aug 1834 along with John Morgan, 18,
Sarah Hambury, 28 was charged on oath John Roberts of Llanbedoc with theft of 5/- in
silver & copper. (I?m wondering if any of this is in the newspaper as well... the date
above ids the only reference I?ve found yet!)
