He told me I might keep the deed until be would pay me. There was no written memorandum made at the time. About twelve months ago there was a sale at prisoner s farm, onder distress. I bought some goods there, and left him have them, and he was either to pay me for them, or to return then). There was nothing said at that time relative to the deed. In September Inst, the prisoner applied to me, 10 see the deed. I thmi brought it to Mr. Reuben Fry's. I saw thedefendant there. I told Mr. Fry, that I left the deed with him, in order that the prisoner might take any extract from it he choose I said be was not to let him have it. I then went out, and left Mr. Fry and the prisoner in the room. In the afternoon of that day, in conse- quence of something Mr. Fiy told lIIe, I went in search of pri- soner, and found him at the" Salulation." in this town. I asked him for the deed. He said he would not give it, because I was so cross. I afterwards saw the deed with the policeman, be!ore the Magistrates. I have never been paid the 201..

Williams .-1 was in August last a servant in husbandry, to Mr. Child, of Begelly. On Son- day, the 2lst August, in the evening. I went to Chapel. After I came oaf, I went to a barn, belonging to Abraham Nash. I saw Rebecca Nash, his daughter, and the prisoner there. RebecCa asked me what I wanted ? I said I wanted to conrt her. She said she did not want me. The prisoner said, if he was in her place, he would send me from there. I said he could not do II. We then began to fighi we bolh struck at each other the same time. The next blow he gave me was with a knife. I felt my- self stabbed in Ihe belly the waistband ot mv Irowsers was cut tbrough my shirt was cut through, also. He then gave me a second slab, in my hip joint. He then told 10010 take care, or I should have it next time in the g— s. Abraham Nash then came out, and we both left. I then tried to go home, hntcould not walK far, because the blood was flowing. I got to the house of Richard Brigg, and was forced to remain there a week. 1\lr. Noole, the surgeon, attended me there Examined by Mr. N. Carne:—I never tried to court this girl before. I did not know that the prisoner was courting her before that time. There were twopers.ons. who went wilh me to the harn Thomas Morgan was poe pf them. Morgan and I had changed clothes before we went. I did not do it in order to dis- guixemysetf. I did not tell Morgan that I wanted to go there to give the prisoner a good hiding. I had my own coat back that night. Rebecca asked me to go awal, as Mhe-woald have nothing to say to me. The prisoner and RelJeoca len the barn together, and went into the haggard. I did not go behind him, and give him a hhiw which knocked him down. I did not give him the lirst blow his blow tuuched tirsl. I knocked him three times, but he did not fall once. I hafl bul olle Itlow after I had given him the three blows. I felt the cut. I did not tell Morgan to hit him. Re-examined :—Morgan and Griffiths were outside the hedge, about eight yards ofr. By the Conrt :-11 was not light enough for me to see a knife. Tho^. G.eorge Noole examined :-1 11.1" a surgeon, living "t Be- gelly.' I was sent for to attend the last witness, on the ^lst of August last, about eight in the evening. 1 examined him, and found a wound on the right side of his belly, and another on his tefthip. I dressed the wounds,-and attended him for three or four davs. I considered him in danger at tirst. I should think the 1V01lllds were occasioned by blows struck witIJ ,iolenoe. A knife might have caused thein. Jeremiah Phillips, a constable living at Begelly, who took the prisoner into custody, produced a knife which he found on pri- soner, and also the shirt of the prosecutor, which appeared to be very much seined with blood. Mr. N Carile addressed the jury for the prisoner, contending that there was no evidence lo prove that the prisoner had a knife or any other weapon i" his hand at the litne the qnarrel took place, and urging the probability thai, during the aftrsji while the prosecutor and prisoner were struggling together on the ground, Ihe former received the wounds from so"1* instrument lying abont the haggard. He called Rebecca Nash, who said, I am the daughter of Abraham Nash. I know the prisoner he courted me in August last. On the 2I*t 01 that month, the prisoner and I were in my father barn. Lewis Davie* came there. I asked him what he wanted. He said he wanted nothing. [ then told him to go awaJ. He said lie would not. I came out of the barn, and the prisoner with me; we went towards my father's house. Lewis Davies came after ns; he struck the prisoner three times, and said he would kill him he struck him down the first blow. The prisoner then got up and said let me atone, I don t WlIoIIO fight. The second blow knocked him down also, and also the third they afterwards both struggled on the ground. This took place in the gardou. Morgan letped in over the hedge when Davies struck the prisoner the first time. 1 screamed out, and beard Lewill Davies nomphinlhat he had heell cut. Cross-examined by Mr. Williams:—The* barn is near mv father's house. I called out, and D.ivies told me to stand hack or I should have the same. I went home immediately after. The prosecutor came theie bleeding. When Davies first struck my lover, I was surprised he did not return the blow he did not defeu4 himrelf although struck three limes. He WHS afraid of him. Tiios.

They were farther charged with demolishing and polling down the office of the said William Rees, and in other counts, with beginning 10 demolish, &c. Mr. Chilton and Mr. Nicholl were Counsel for the Crotvu, and Mr. Evans (by special permission), and Mr. Williams, for the ptisoncrs. The following were the Jurv sworn Timings Gibbon, Broadway, Henry Adams, Bramble, 1 liotrus Noot, Robeston, William Lewis, Heuna, Thomas Roberts, J,,|in fimiiit, Thomas Leonard. St. Florence, Richard Hood, John Davies, Lawrenny, i J„|)n Beviinn, Levi Phillips, Keynaslon. Tboinas "Evans. Taukardlon. MR Chilton addressed the Jury KS follows —The prisoners at the bar wetedigged with riotousiv and lumultuouslv asesmbling, with other persons, mid unlawfully demolishing the dwelling- house of William Roes. The question yon will have to try is, whether the twn prisoners, or either of Ihem, were actintr in the outrage which took place at Trevauzhan, o the 13th of February Jast. It will surprise you, that persons in their station in lire should be so engaged, It is it, dutv to advert to that of which you are n it ignorant, namely, that there has prevailed in this and the adjoining county, what I may term a war of extermination against (he toll. sates 011 the roads. I regret the circumstance most unfeigned'y, and 1 am sure tnv learned friend will join with me in Ihe wish, that the res))t of this trial may have the effect of explaining to the misguided people, that thev are in thrt wrong. Roads in litis country are almost necessaries of life, and they can- not be kept in repair, unless funds are raised for the purpose. Lawless men may just as well invade vour farms, because you cannot give away the produce of them, as that people should de- stroy toll-gates because the keepers of them the tolls which are lawfully demanded for passing over the roads. '1 ite ev idenee by which I shall can upon vou to come to the conclusion that the prisoners did lake v part in the outrage is the follotving :— Y\ m. liees will tell oil, that he is I he keeper of the Trei aughau gates he has been tenant of the tolls for one or two years he will teff you that within a short time Ihe gates have been three lintes taken awa< by mobs. This so much alarmed him. lhat lie became afraid to sleep in the toll-house. He used to go about ten 0 clock in the evening to sleep in the house of liees Isaacs, a little distance ofl. and subsequently he slept in the house of David 1 liomas. He will tell you that, on the night of the 13th of February last, he had not been long at Thomas's house, before 'iee* Isaacs came to inform him ihu} Rebecca was at the gates." He immediately ran towards the gates, and went into a garden belonging lo the cottage of Keturah Howell, about 100 yards from t fie in. This place commanded a full view of the toll-house and gates. but il was not near enough lo enable hiin to distinguish the features of any ot the parlies engaged in the work ol de- struction. He reckoned from IGlo 20 persons there, and heard the discharge ol lire arms. He saw them employed in carrying pieces of wootl, the fragments ol the toll house and gates, across a field near the foil-house, towards Ihe river Tail', for the purpose of throwing them into the river. After the house had been pulled down, the mob rail across this field as if alarmed, Rnd dispeised. Rees then went towards the toll-house, and in ten minutes after he saw the prisoner, Thomas Howell, coming oil, in company with two other persons whom he did not know, across the field I hat e spoken of, in adire; tion from the river. Thomas Howeifs then addressed him as Colll)\\ S It is hard on you to lose vour house, you had better come w.tb me to get a damper." After (hat Thonus Howells went on in ihe direction of the bridge, which would lead him to Y\ hitiand. The next witness will call before you is, Lewis Griffiths lie will t• -11 you that between eight and nine, on the night of the 13th of February, he went lo bed at the Golden Lion, iu Whiilatid. There were two persons sleeping willi him. Some time afterwards he was awakened bv a voice cai/mgoul, "Rebecca is come." Thomas Howell, one of I ue prisoners, was at the bedside, and gave him some beer. Howell then fett the room, and Griliiihs hastily dressed himself, and went out alter him ha overtook Howell and David Thomas, the son of the landlord of the Golden Lion, who were going towards ihe toll-house. When they got to Trevaugban bridge,be saw rem- nants of the gates being carried to the river, and he saw the mob busily engaged in pulling down the house. At this time, a man approached them with a gun, and snapped the cap on it. Thomas Howell then cried out Hurrah, Rebecca." The man took off his fiat, asked for money, and Thomas Howell look some out of his pocket, and pal it into the hal. The man then wen! oil', aud Howell, Gnutths, and Thomas followed him towards the gates when they got there, Ihe mob were at work pulling the house down. Griliiihs will leil you that David tfowell, the other pri- soner, was 011 the pine end of the bouse, at work wiih a hatchet, which he once dropped, and Lewis Griliiihs picked it up, and gave it back to him. The man who had the gun then came up. and said to Thomas Howells, you must take this while I work and Howell with the gun kept back the people, who were pushing towards the house. Shortly after. Howell returned the Run to the man, and took up a shovel, with which he began to pull down the house. After a short lime, a cry was heard, they are com- ing. when the mob all ran towards the river. They then re- turned, and called at Benjamin Watt's house, where they had some beer; after which, Lewis Grifhihs returned to the Golden Lion, and went to bed. These gentlemen are the facts against the prisoners, io addition to which I shulf call before you the Rev. John Evans, who committed the prisoners on this charge, r?'° you that, when he asked the prisoner, Thomas owel.J if Jje |la(j anything to say, ha answered, that he was not at the Golden Lion »t all on the night in question, and he called a man nstned .Walter John to prove this but when John wos ex- aminetl, he was obliged to admit that both he and Thomas Howell lad been at the Golden Lion lhat night, and that lie left Howell there. Gentlemen, I humbly submit, that if I am able to bring these proofs before you, it will be your painful duty to find the pusoners guilty if you have any doubt on the subject. of course jou w ill, under the direction of his Lordship, give the prisoners 0I\ -r °' ,e,n !e benefit of lhat doubt. William Rees examined by Mr. N. Carne:—I live st Tre- vauglian, in the parish of Lampeter- Velfrey, in this count v. I am the tenant ot the Trevaugban loll gales. 1 occupied the toll- house oil to the lime of its destruction. The house is situated between the two gates. I rent the tolls ander the Trustees of the Whifland Trust. There was an attack on the house and g;.les Oil the night of the 16th January. The gates have been destroyed three times. I slepl in the house sill the 16th January, and not ailer. Between that time and the 13tli February, the house Was repaired. I was there in the evening of the 13th, and left about ten o'clock. The reason why I did not sleep there after the 16th January was, because the windows were not glazed. I went to David Thomas s huu.se lo sleep on the lHth February his house is about 300 yards from the gates I went to bed about twelve 0 clock, and had not been there long before Rees Isaacs came, and told me that were breaking the gates. I then got all. and went through the fields to Keturah Howe'ls's garden. This was about 80 yards from the toll-house. I could ee the toll honse clearly from where I stood. I heard a greatlloille, and saw them tearing down the gates. I saw abeut twenty persons (here. I did not go near, because I was afraid. They were llirowint- stones at the people who peeped out. I saw the mob carrying the toll bar and the timber from the house towards the river, which ran along-side of a field at the b-ick of Martha Phillips's honse. Whilst I wu looking at tire mob, the. all ran awav at once; some ran through the road, and others across the field towards the river. After they left, I went towards the toll-house. 1 found the roor destroyed, also the front wall the joists of the floor were down at one end. I know the prisoner, Tholl, Howell. I have kuowu him for three or four years. I saw him that night Ilhootten minutes after the toll-house had been pulled down lie came over the hedge from the meadow behind Martha Phillips s bouse. There were two or three persons with hiin. I don't know Whether Lewis Griliiihs was there. Thonins Howell said to me, "Rebecca has done bad work to pall down the house." I said, ".Yea, and lam very cold." Thomas Howell said, You had better have a damper of ale." This was in Welsh. Thomas Howell then went towards Trevaugban bridge, and one of the men went with him. Cross-examined by Mr. Evans :-] knew Thomas Howell verv well, and be knew me. as the toll-keeper. I was standing near tne toll li use when he spoke to me. This gate had been ereeied between forty and fifty years. ^Lewis Griffiths examined by Mr. Chilton T live at Pant-v- park Mill, and am a miller. I was at Ihe Golden Lion, Whitland, 011 the liilli February. I went to bed there between nine and ten oclock. I slept ou the ground floor. There were Iwo o her men who slept wiih ine they went to bed before me. I think one of thein was Griffith Grilfiths, of Llanddarog. I went to Whitland to sell pigs. I went asleep, autl was awakened by Thos. Howell he attempted to drencit me with beer. About this time, a man catne in, and said, Rebecca is come." I did not know Thomas Howell before, lie and John Thomas then went out, and the pig drovers and I got up and followed. I overtook Thomas Howell • nt! John Thomas. The lalter is the son of the landlord of the Golden Lion. Thomas Howell said, We had better go down near the toll-honse." I said, better nnt." We went across a field over a brook towsrds Trevaugban bridge. While standing on the bridge, a man came up with a gun in his hand. I saw the the flash IIf a percusssion cap. Thomas Howell then cried nut, Hurrah, Btcca." The man ihen begged some money of Thos. Howell, and he gave him some the man seemed lo grumble at it, when Howell gave him some more. The man then asked me lor fit mey. I said, I had none for him. The man then went back, and Howell asked if he should oome oil, when the man gave it turn wilh tha gun for him lo come. We then went on to the toll- hoose. When I got there, I saw the prisoner, David Howell, on the pine end of the toll house he had a hatchet in bis hand, whicb he dropped I picked it up, and gave il to hiin. There were fiom sixteen to twenty engaged. Wli.-n wegot there,Thos, Howell took the gon iroui the man who carried it, Hiiii elie man took up a shovel and began tearing the house. A little while after, the man said, II I must have the gun, and voit must work," Thomas Howell then return.,(i the gun, and took the shovel, and began 10 tear down the house: An alarm was then given thai somebody was coming. The people then ran across a field towards the river. Thomas Howell, David Thomas, and I, went with them. After a time we came hack again across the field; the other people went olY iii a dill'ereiil direction. When we returned, Thomas Howell spoke lo a person who I think was the gate- keeper tliey spoke in Welsh. We then crossed the bridge to Watts's house, and had some heer. I left Howell and Thomas there, and returned to the Golden Lion. There were two of the men who had petticoats iv. and somelhing-about their heads. Cross-examined by Mr. liyans :—This was in the middle or the night. All the people ran out of tne Golden Lion when the cry came that 1, Becca was r,ome." I am not a daughter of Beoca, I went there to see what was going on. The gate is about a quarter of a mile from the Gold on Lion I wax close to Thomas Howell all the time, except when he had the gun. English was spoken when they were tearing down the house. The man with the gun spoke to Howell in English; he sai l, "I want some money, Howell." That was the first time I knew Howell's name. I went to Whitland r"ir on Monday, the pig fair was on Tuesday. I stopped there four days. I heard of the reward of loot. oil Friday. I did nnt hear about it on Tuesday morning. I mentioned IIbonl Un..ell on Friday before f heard of the rew.ard. I staid at Whitland four davsto find out more about Rebecca. I li-ad riever Seen Thos. Howell before that night. I had seen David Howell --if the Monday. I had beer in me when I went to bed. I was not drunk. I saw Tholl. Howell at Whitiand the night after the toll-house was destroyed, and had s une quarrel with him. I wanted to find out Rebecca because I thought it was all unlawful thing. Rev. John Evans I am a Magistrate for this ooontt. The prisoners were committed by me of this charge. I asked Thos. Howell if he had anything to sa" after cautioning him not to say MMtthittg that might injure himself. He said he had not been at the Golden Lion that nilChl. that Walter John had gone in to light h's pipe, and came out, and acnontpanied Howt ll to Llwvndrissr gate. Walter John was examined on behalf of the prisoner. Howell said to him, you know you came with me to Llwtndrissy gite. Waller hesi ated for a short time, and said he would speak the truth. Examined by Mr. Evans :—This was not taken down in wriiing Waller John exainiued bv Mr. N Ciriie :-Tliis witness proved that the prisoner, Thomas Howell, had, on the night of the 13th, "ccomptnied bun from St. Clears to the Golden Lion, where John letl him and went home. John Thomas, landlord of the Golden Lion, wait also called to prove that Thomas Howell was in his house, when the cry name that Becca had arrived. Mr. Evans then addressed the jury for the prisoners in a most able !ilpeedl. in Ibe course of which he sirongiv animadverted on the testimony of Lewis Griliiihs. He pointed out the improba- bilities of Itis storv, and submitted that Griffiths had selected the prisoner, Tlio. Ho well, « his victim, in order lo gain the reward of 100/ and to get bis revenge oil him, for the qtimi-rel tha) took place between them on the night after ihe destruction of- the gates. Htdid not deny lhat the prisoner, Thos. Howetl, was present, bul-be contended that he was there only it the character a spectator the not had cotnuieooed before he had arrived, and it W¡. xhcAi.. 1)\ ihe evidence, of W .))(:< John. that Thos. Howell had been at St. Clears all dav, and therefore could not bave been aware of the attack. As far as concerned the prisoner, David Hnwrn, the only evidence that touched him was that given by Lewis GrilliLbli, and bo (Mr. Evans) confidently submitted that the jury could not, on the nngopported testimony of a drflhken c"nvict either of the prisoners of the charge. His Lordship shortly sommed op, leaving it to the jory to say. whether, on the evidence adduced, ihey coald find the prisoners. or either of them gnilty.
