CARDIGAN. A;-I
CARDIGAN. A I Serious Charge a^ainet a Bank Manayer. ACCUSED COMMITTED FOR TPJAL. The Guildhall, Cardigan, was crowded to excess on Thursday last when Jir. John Wilham Nicholas, of Froirtivy, Cardigan, until lately manager ol tl,e Metropolitan. Bank at that town su<-iendeved to his bill to answer the several charges of forgery preferred against him. Since the remand on the previous Friday public sympathy had run high, and eve,y dfiJrt was made by the townspeople through a public meeting and a memorial to enlist the sympathy of the direc- tors of the Benk for clemency; but, of no avail. Tbere was a full bench of magis- trates composed of the Mayor (Mr. E. 1 Bov/en), in the chair, Capt. Ficton Evans, Messrs. Jieynon Evans, U. Davies, i E. Davies, Lewis Evans, J. e. Robeits. D. O. Jones, T. H. Williams ,T. Watkins, Ceredig Evans and A. Co The accused, in company of his relatives put in ail early appearance ,and thTfiighout the proceedings seemed to feel his position keeniy, espec- ally during counsel's opening remarks. Mr. Ivor Bo'ven, barrister, instructed by Mr. A. T. Williams, Neath, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. J. H. Evans, solicitor, Newcastle Emlyn, for the defence. Three charges were preferred against him, namely, that on the 29tii September, 19u6 he feloniously did utter knowing the same to be forged a certain promissory note for the payment of £ 50 with intent thereby to de- fraad the Metropolitan Bank of England and Wales, Ltd. The other charge was also in respect of a promissory note of tl.5 dated 3rd January, IJOï, and the third in respect of a promiscsory note of £25 dated 24th January, 1907. Mr. Ivor Bowen, in opening, characterised this as a very serious and painful prosecu- tion for all who had known the defendant for so many years, and paidul for the pro- secuting bankers, because it was a case ti against a man who had filled a position of trust, having had the control oi moneys not only belonging to the bank or which he was the manager, but of those of a great number of people who could ill afford to lose it. Here was a case where he had so forgotten j himself, his duty, and his honesty, as to em- bezzle and forge, .i f the evidence should be correct, sums of money which totalled close upon one thousand pounds (sensation in oourt). For 11 years he had been manager of the Metropolitan Bank at Cardigan, and, of course, great confidence was reposed in him, both by customers and the directors, The latter knew nothing at all of what was really going on in connection with the mail- agement of tho Cardigan branch until quite recently; and on February 6th, 1907, the general manager of the bank at Binning- ham wrote to Mr. Nicholas as follows:— Dear Sir,—I have to recall to your mind the difficulties in connection with the management of your branch, which came to j a climax on the 13th July, 1904, when you were before the committee in Cardiff. The -causes of complaint which were then laid before you have, unfortunately, not dimin- ished. but have increased, and it is with mnch personal regret that I have to in- form you that I am instructed by the diiec- tors to relieve you of your management, and to terminate your engagement with the bank. I have requested Mr. Watkins to attend at Cardigan to-morrow to take over your keys and the custody of the bank pro- perty, and I have made arrangements to re- lieve you of your management and to ter- minate' your engagement with the bank, but I am empowered to continue to pay your salary during the pleasure of the directors, and to consult your convenience as far as possible in regard to the residence, under these circumstances. I have no doubt, that you will afford your successor any informa- tion in regard to your customers or to the business of the branch that you think will be useful to him." Mr. Ivor Bowen commented on the gener- osity of such a letter from defendant's em- ployers at a time when no examination had been made to lead up to shocking disclos- ures. That letter ,Mr. Bowen added, pro- mised Mr. Nicholas that he should have his salary. He was then considered a faithful and honest servant. It would seem, how- ever,^ ■oiitit he Was not so, when Mr. Wat- kins, the inspector of the banks went down to Cardigan to investigate. On examining the books it gradually transpired that there -were very serious deficiencies and defalca- tions, and a. warrant was issued, and de- fendant arrested, and charged upon it. He surrendered to his bail that day and with reference to the charges and the warrant, he (Mr. Bowen) proposed to proceed with two only, as being sufficient for the purpose. of the prosecution. A charge had beer pre-! torred against mm tor torgery, anu x,nere ■ were two charges of larceny as a servant, embezzlement, and falsification. Mr. Evans: ThoGO are exclusive. Mr. Ivor Bowen replied in the affirmative, and added that one could prefer as many charges as were right according to the evid- ence but there were only two charges be- fore the Bench previously. Since then dis- coveries had been made, a r.d five charges in all would be preferred against the defend- ant that day. Found amongst the bills that had been discounted by the bank was. a pro- missory note for £ 50 purporting to be sign- ed bv a Mrs. Jones. That bill was alleged to be a forgery, and the person alleged to have uttered it, knowing it. to be forged, was the defendant. Mr. Evan" intimated that the charge was one of forgcy only, and he was taken a bit bv surprise when utter'ne was included. He did not say it was improper. Mr. Ivor Bowen said he was sorry to say it was forgery, because def°ndfint had ad- mitted that the bill was, with others, forged by himself. Mr. Evans said the learned counsel was Erring too far. It was a ciii-tioni ii-hetlier these admissions, were evidence. Mr. Bowen said he wo"ld call evidence to show who forged it. The next bill, a fTged document, was similarly discounted, and was for tl.5, and was a three months' pro- missorv note purporting to be made to Ann T. Jenkins, living in H' £ rh-streef, Oilgerran. No such person lived there, and ""81 no such customer on the hooks. The next hill, which was a forgery, had been uttered b- somebody who Vnew it to be forged. < That bill was for p'-omisM to pay the bank in three months' time. tnd mu-nortrd to be s'gned bv a John :"1T" CVnll^fr15. No person o^ that r>ame ]'-™d +Vi<->re arid there was no John Fvf "s a customer of the bank. In when chnro-ed. the de- fendnn+ said, "T sav nothi" The ne^t charge was one of obt^iniie f>ir Howell Evans, arid the bench woiuld be asked to commit defendant of larceny as a servant, of embezling that money, and of being guilty of falsification of accounts. Mr. Howell Evans was a farmer near Cardigan. lie wanted to send Messrs. Francis and Son, auctioneers, Carmarthen a cheque for £ 37, 1and so he asked defendant at the. bank to let him have a cheque for the amount, if he paid him A:17 on account, and the remainder later, and this balance was paid later. None of the £;3 ï has ever reached the bank, it being supposed that it went into defend- Iittit, Spocket, and in the current accounts of the bank the directors found it necessary to go muiuteiy into the bank books, and it was found that a further sum of £ 10 was obtained in the same way by defendant, and Mr. Rowell Evans appeared on the book" as a debtor of C47 7s. If the evidence was correct, defendant was, therefore, guilty of embezzlement, falsification of accounts, and larceny a6 a servant. Mr. Thomas Davies, coal merchant, Bon- cath, sent defendant various sums of money amounting altogether to £24 6s. 4d. They were delivered at the bank by a Mr. Jones, or Boncath, later on other amounts totalling £ 19 2s. Gd. and even later another credit slip with £ 31 Is. The whole totalled £ 70. Miss Jones, of Boncath, had handed in a slip for £10 to the credit of her account. Defendant never put these moneys to the credit of the owners, where it was he (Mr. Bowen) did not know. The bank had not got it. There was no doubt thle defendant iiad the money, because it was a curious tiling that all those small cheques were in the possession of the bank from July, 1906, until October, 1900, and were handed back to Mr. Thomas Davies when the defendant tound lie had better do so, because enquiries were being made about the little cheques mentioned on the slips of the several ac- counts. Mr. Bowen was instructed that tiiose cheques were handed over. They werv in the possession of the defendant for lour or five months, and were never pre- sented to any bank. Defendant admitted to Mr. Davies having deficiency of L53 on his (Mr. Davies') pass book, adding that he (defendant) would repay it when he came back from his holidays, when it was feared tLiQt these matters would be found out, the bank manager went to the customer, and toild him he would give him an I.O.U. of 1:2;5 of the money. In the meantime the pass book was handed to Mr. Davies. Mr. J>n\en contended that a prima facie case could be established, and lie proceeded to call evidence. The first witness called was Sergeant Davies, who deposed arresting the accused on the 24th. 'I hat day (Thursday) he charg- ed him ..ith having forged a promissory note, the property of John Evans ,Cefnlle- fas. and in reply ho said: "I say nothing." Mr. Thomas Benjamin Watkins, 2, Mansel- teirace, Swansea, said he was a bank inspec- tor for the Metijpclitan Bank of England and Wales, 110 carried on business at Car- digan, the head office being in Birmingham Air. John William Nicholas was manager oi the. Caid.gaii branch for 17 years. He (witness) produced a letter signed by Mr. Nash, the general manager, dated 6th Janu- ary and in consequence of that letter Mr. Nicholas was dismissed. Witness came to Cardigan and was there on the 9th Febru- ary to take over the temporary management. Mr. Nicholas called upon him about 7.20 in tho evening and asked him if he had had a communication from Birmingham. Wit- ness replied that he had. Nicholas asked him if he cotdd have access to the books, and witness replied that he would meet him at the bank at 8.30 that evening. Thle books were in the bank and in witness' cus- tody. Some of the past due bills were in witness' possession, and the discounted bills in Birmingham. Witness was at the bank at 8.30, and took out the past due bills and showed them to Mr. Nicholas who went through them and took a list of some of them. Witness showed him the discount ledger, and he went through it, and took a list from it. Witness knew Mr. Nicholas' handwriting well, and the discount ledger was kept. by Mr. Nicholas. Witness showed him the current account ledger, and he took a kst also from this Witness asked him what bills had not been noticed and Nicholas at first hesitated a little, and asked for the past due bills again. Witness gave them to him, and he made a statement: "I may as well make a. clean breast of it. These bills were forged." The past due bills produced were shown to Mr. Nicholas, and a promis- sory note dated 29th September, 1906 pur- ported to be made by Judith Jones, of Hafod for £ 50 payable at Cardigan, Decem- ber 2nd, 1906. There was nothing to in- I dicate on the bill to the customer to pay up. I. was the duty of the manager to give notice to the customer when the bill was not paid, but. it was not done in this case. The produced bill was made in favour of the bank. In the discount list, Nicholas point- ed also to Anne Jenkins, of Cilgeiran's bill for £15, and also a bill of £ 25 for John Evans, Oefnllefas, which he now produced. Nicholas went through the discount ledger, and gave witness other names. Nicholas said the hills were forgeries. He asked w itness to do all ho could for him: but wit- ness said he was very sorry, as he had a duty to perform. On Monday, 71th Febru- ary, at 2.30. Mr. Nicholas saw him at the ind showed him the paper produced. Nicholas agreed to the totals on the list which he ^Nicholas) had referred to the previous Monday.

In the absence of the chairman (Colonel Howell), Mr. Thomas Hughes, Rhosygadair, was voted to the chair, the other members present being Messrs. James Evans, T. Griffiths and D. Jenes, Alban Lewis and Griff James; with Messrs. D. Davies (clerk), D. J. Davies (assistant clerk), Ivor George (inspector) and D. Evans (surveyor). Health of the District. Tho Sanitary Inspector in his report stated that a plumber had been engaged to put new water taps at Bankydyffryn. Re- specting the Noyaddwilym water supply lie, was given to understand by the owner that the work of procuring a proper water sup- j ply will not be any longer delayed. During the next month he hoped also with tho co- operation of the inhabitants of Rhiwshon to commence the work of sinking a test pit in search of a source of water supply for that place. No cases of infectious disease have been reported during the month, and the sanitation of the district generally was satisfactory. Council Threatened. The Clerk read a letter he had received fiom Mr. Morgan Richardson with refer- ence to the Croesyllan (Noynddwilym1* water supply in which he stated that: "'Referring tj the letter which you wrote us a short time ago in which you informed us that notice had been served upon Mr. John Thomas to quit his house at the end of six weeks under Section 6 of the Public Health Act, we write to make formal application under the advice of counsel to the Cardigan Rural District Council, as sanitary author- ity. for the certificate provided by that section, this application being made without prejudice to the question whether Section 6 applies to the present case or not. If the authority refuses to grant. this certificate we a.re to apply to the Court for an order authorising tho occupation of the house not- withstanding its refusal. We may say that we are advised by counsel that Mr. John Thomas having already occupied his house, Thomas having already occupied his house, Section 6 ceases to be applicable and the authority have no power 1.0 remove him from the house. We may also say that, without prejudice to this question, Mr. Jones has now given consent to entering his field for the purpose of improving the water supply, and ,vi11 contribute his share to the cost. But if the water is to be used by the adjoining owners, and their tenants as well, it is only fair that they should contri- bute equally, and as the authority has con- demned this water which they are. using, we are advised that it is the duty of the auth- ority to arrange fo" a. new supply in their case as well as in the case for which not'ee has already been given." The- C'lork said he thought that that letter was very abswd, and he did not care for counsel. Section 6 of the Act was very clear, and it enacted that any house occu- pied in contravention of this Section was liable on conv'ction to a penalty of £ 10. The house could not be occupied until a certificate had been given by the Council, and there must I)e ,i, sufficient supply of water available. The Clwirman observed that Mr. Morgan- Richardson put some wei lit upon the words that the house is occupied," as if the Council gave John Thomas permission to occupy it. The Clerk: Thomas has had six weeks' notice, and only two had not expired. Mr. James Eva>vs proposed that the Clerk should carry out his duty, counsel or no counsel. Mr. Thos. Griffiths seconded. Mr. Evan Williams leading the letter said it seemed as if Mr. Morgan-Richardson in- tended fighting. The Clerk: That counsel must be an abso- lute fool. Let him fight. Mr. Evan Williams: We chan't give out to Mr. Morgan-Richardson. The proposition was carried. Progressive Gwbert. The Inspector reported that as it was in- tended to build new houses in Gwbert he thought the Council should enforce the bye- la." referring to drainage. The Clerk: We cannot as we have no building bye-laws. The inspector was asked to call attention of the builders. A Disputed Bill. The Clerk read a letter from T. M. Griffiths, I-'onthirwauii in which he asked for payment for work dene in 1904.—The mat- ter was referred to the Inspector. Parishioners Complain. Mr. James Evans, Blaenywaun, drew at- tention to a resolution passed at a public meeting held the previous evening in hi; paiish which was one of the queerest meet- ings he had ever attended. He told them that. if they were not satisfied with his ser- vices they could appoint someone else. The complaint was in reference to a piece of road which wes flooded often for want of drainage.—Mi-.

The pure pine-essences in Peps, breathed direct into the bronchial tubes as the pleasant tablets dissolve in y// the mouth, not only bring immediate comfort and relief, but W, '/w give tone and strength to the worn and weakened tissues. Peps are so entirely different to the nauseous and disgusting vapouri- /^7/ jW/ sers, nasty mixtures, and drugged lozenges so commonly prescribed V/ for asthma, that the Peps treatment is quite a luxury. The sufferer from bronchial asthma, difficulty in breathing, 'y! wheeziness, or noises in the chest and bronchial tubes, should keep wi Peps always handy, and take them freely. Taken at bed-time, jv/ v/m. Peps will make breathing easy and natural, and will so alleviate wA /Zm the persistent bronchial cough, that refreshing and natural sleep is EAz //Mensured. Taken when rising in the morning Peps will clear the Sk/ throat and chest of the accumulated obstructions of the night, Jagjj./ and ensure a good day begun without the energy-sapping ^jplc handicap of that dreadful morning cough. r^a^en during the day, Peps keep the lungs free of the (*nst ^ie day's work, which is so often the cause of bronchial troubles. ;Æ.

iieday to Cefnliefaes in company of Sergt. Davies, and found no Joihn Evans there, the occupant being Mr. Wm. James. Wit- ness made full enquiries, and was unable \o find out the drawer of the bill. The next bill marked" D." for £15 was pur- ported to be made by Anne Jenkins, High- street, Oilgerran, dated 3rd January, 1907 payable on the 6th of April. That was still discount the bank, and the Head Office had given the value to the branch at Cardigan. M The three bills were in the ordinary eouree of business sent up by the manager. The handwriting in the body of tli three bills was that of Mr. Nicholas. CVo«s-examined by Mr. Evans: Witness said he had been inspector 14 years, and he had not discovered anything criminally wrong with the books until the statement made to him by Mr. Nicholas. The letter of February 6th made IO reference to any- thing criminally wrong. Witness knew that Mr. Nicholas went up to Birmingham the opening he got his dismissal. Witness re- ceived a communication from the Head Office after Mr. Nicholas's arrival in Bir- mingham, and it was owing to something in that letter he discovered something crimin- ally wrong. When he said on the 9th Feb. that the bills were forged, he had had a conversation with Nicholas. Witness asked him what bills had been forged, and after a little hesitation in reply to another ques- tion, Nicholas said he had better make a clean breast of it. He was positive that the conversation as given by him was cor- rect. There were three farms called Cefn- liefaes, but could not find out John Evans. He had not found out Ann Jenkins. and was not prepared to swear that there was no Anne Jenkins. The defalcations would not have been discovered now, but for Nicholas; but they would be discovered later on. On the 11th February, Nicholas again saw him at the bank. Witness called out the totals on the list, ar.d the list was agreed to by both of them as to the defal- cations. Wi cness made the suggestion that the three bills, "Ann Jenkins," "David Jones" and "Judith Jones," were forgeries, but he did not say by whom. Mrs. Judithi Jones .Hafod. near Cardigan, widow, examining a bill put in by counsel, said the signature thereon was not hers, and she did not authorise anyone to sign it for her. She did not owe the £.50 or any money to the Metropolitan. Bank.—Cross- examined by Mr. Evans: She could not say when she drew money, nor whether she had been a surety as she could not remember. She swore that the signature on the bill pro- duced was. not hers. She had not. been in the hank since last Spring, but could not say what month. The second charge was next proceeded with. Sergt. Davies deposed having arrest- ed the accused with having forged a cheque of £:)1) dated 29th September, 1906, and an- other of £15 dated 8th January ,1907. He said I say not Mug." Witness went on Wednesday to Cefnliefaes to make enquiries in company of Mr. Watkins and was, un- able to find a person named John Evans re- siding there. Mr. Wm. James, Cefnliefaes said he had resided at that farm for 15 years. John Evans lived there previously, but there was no John Evans living tlieie this year The other Cefnliefaes was occupied by John Edwards, and another by Mrs. Jenkins. During the last ten years no John Evans had resided at any of the three Cefnliefaes. The John Evans who did reside at Cefnliefaes now resided at Irhir, St. Dogniells.-—Cross- examined: Witness said be did not know any Cefnliefaes in Pembrokeshire. Sergt. Morris, Kilgerran, deposed having made enquiries as to Anno Morris, High- street, and found no such person. The next witness called was Mr. John Evans, Tyhir, St. Dogmells. Mr. Evans at first refused to respond, but the prosecuting counsel said that on behalf of the Crown he must come forward. Mr. Evans at last yielded, and said he used to reside at Cefn- llefaos before Wm. James. The signature on the bill was not his. Counsel remarked that that was his case and asked for committal on the charge of rr .rtrery, and uttering these bills knowing them to be forged. Mr. J. H. Evans said he would not con- test the fact that a prima facie case had been made out, and reserved his defence. At this stage the magistrates retired, and returned after an absence of about twenty minutes. The Mayor read out the charge. and in reply, the accused said: "Not guilty. I reserve my defence." The Mayor: Do you wish to call any wit- nesses ? Mr. J. H. Evans: No. In reply to the second charge of forging a cheque of JE15, accused made the same re- ply. The third was in respect of a promis- sory note of £25, and in reply to this ac- cused again said Not guilty. I reserve my defence." Accused was then committed to take his trial at the next Cardiganshire Assizes on the three charges. Alleged Embezzlement. Counsel said there were two furhter charges, 011 one of which he must proceed with. It was a short charge, but of a different character. He would not proceed with the other then, but if necessary, would d) so at the Assizes when due notice would be served on the accused. Howell Evans, Tregibby, a farmer, said the cheque (produced) was drawn for JE37 ill favour of Messrs. John Francis and Son,' Carmarthen. It was signed by witness and drawn by the accused. Witness had no account at the Metropolitan Bank. He gavo accused £17 in gold on the 15th Nov- ember, 1906 the same day as the cheque was dated. On the 17th December witness paid the balance of £20 to accused at the bank. Witness had called before that date, but accused was not in. Later Otn. the Clerk tapped the window and witness went in and paid the accused. He did not get a re- ceipt, and he did not owe the bank any money. On the 8th January, witness again called, when he saw accused and signed the cheque B." produced, and borrowed £10 from ihe bank. On the* 25th January wit- ness paid the accused that sum of £1 C) at the bank. Accused changed a cheque of £30 to witness. of this went to re-pay thlj loan. £5 was given in cash and £15 was left on deposit. Witness got no deposit receipt. Accused came to Tregibby on the 15th and paid witness £15 in gold. Witness told accused that he had been at the bank to get the JE15 and that he did not get. it. Accused replied that witness had made a mistake.—Cross-examined: Writness said he was not in the habit of paying money into any bank without getting a receipt. Mr. Tyssul Jones, junior clerk at the Mountain Ash branch said that until the previous Saturday he was clerk at the Car- digan branch. In December last he remem- bered tapping the window in order to draw the last v. itnesss attention. He remembered the last witness coming into the bank, and paying Mr. Nicholas some money. Mr. Watkins was recalled at this stage and .said it was the duty of the accused to enter the money into the cash book. Wit- ness produced the cash book, but there was no entry in it showing having been re- ceived frcon Mr. Howell Evans, nor on the 17th December for £20. Witness had found no trace of the £47 in any book in the bank. In the current account ledger Howell Evans' name appeared as debtor for £47 10s. On the 9th Februray Mr. Nicholas told witness that he had received the money. Witness had failed to trace the sum of £15 having been deposited by Mr. Howell Evans cn the 25th January, 1907.—Cross-examin- ed: The only entry in the name of Mr. Howell Evans was a discount account. Sergt. Davies said he further charged the accused that morning at the instructions of the prosecution with larceny as a servant. Witness charged him with embezzlement of £62 paid to him by Howell Evans. Witness cautioned him, and he said "No reply." This closed the evidence for the prosecu- tion. Mr J H Evans submitted that there was no "aso to go before a jury. The evidence of Mr H owell Evans was an extraordinary I "cock an dbull story, and the only corro- boration was that of Mr Tyssul Jones. The magistrates again retired and after a iong absence, the Mayor read out the charge llld in reply accused said: Not guilty. I reserve my defence. Accused was then committed for trial on j this charge also. Bail was allowed on the first three charges, the accused for £100, and two sureties of £7G each. "n din the last ea-e accused in £;,0, and two sureties of each. Mr. WToodward' and Mr. D. B. Dawes, Manchester House, being the guar- antors.
