Marine Store Dealer Charged. Zavil Badash, marine store dealer, Aberdare, was brought up on a j charge of receiving goods knowing them to he stolen, value £30. This case was partly heard last week, when Daniel Jones, James Hacker, Patrick Curran and Robert Scott were committed for trial for stealing brass, cables, etc., from the Powell Duffryn Co., and Wm. Burton, Aberaman, was committed for trial for receiving stolen goods from Scott. Badash was defended by Mr. F. Beddoe Nash, Swansea, ind Sir. W. Kenshole prosecuted. Inspector D. Griffiths was recalled and cross-ex- cdniLed by Mr: Nash. The Inspector repeated that he had cautioned pris- oner when he first charged him, and he bad taken notes of the conversa- tion as the case progressed. P.S. Francombe said that on Fri- day, July 27th, he accompanied In- spector Griffiths to the Marine Stores, adjoining the Iron Bridge Hotel. He there saw Badash. Wit- ness heard Inspector Griffiths ask Badash if he had any copper cable or brass bearings on his premises, and he replied: "No, they don't bring anything like that here." He saw Inspector Griffiths take notes. Badash was asked to pro- duce his register, which was done, and the Inspector made notes from the register. They all went to the G.W.R. Station, where a truck was pointed out to them by Badash. They inspected the truck and found there several bags of metal. The Inspector told Badash he suspected the contents of the bags to have been stolen, and that lie would take possession of them. Badash replied: You can see from the book where I bought them. 1 paid the-i-ight price for them." Witness then corroborated evidence given last week by Inspector Griffiths. Isaac Levy 65 Dyfatty Street. Swansea, wholesale marine store dealer, said: On Feb. 13, 1917, he bought certain goods from Badash, including rags, copper and brass. Fpr the copper he paid £ 7 18s. 2d. for brass, t-5 4s. 5d. On February 20th again he bought rags, bones, lead, brass and copper from pris- oner. Mr. Nash submitted, for the de- fence, that there was no case to send before a jury, but the Stipendiary ruled differently, and decided that the defendant must be sent for trial. They all were, therefore, formally committed to the quarter sessions, bail being allowed.
