On Wednesday, at the Pontypridd Police Court—before the Stipendiary and other magis- trates—James Carroll, boiler-maker, Cardiff, was summoned for furiously driving a horse and trap at Hawthorn on Sunday evening. Thomas Scale, landlord of the Duffryn Arms, Rhydyfelen, said that on the day in question he saw the defendant driving a horse and trap through Rhydyfelen at a rate of 15 or 16 milea an hour. The horse was going "full gallop," and the defendant was forcing it as much as hct could. Dr T. R. Hamlen-William, J.P., stated that when he saw the horse passing Fairfield he thought it was a runaway.
