¡ C P,E A -ir WELSH K.G. I -_U- I DEATH OF MR. B. FRAKCIS WILLIAMS | I IN LONDON. j  RECORDER C?F MRC!FF. j Air. Benjamin Francis William?, K.C., the learned Ileecrder of Cardiff, and the leader of the South Wales Bar, passed a war on TUPHlav at hi? London residence, ?t?vay on at retil,i,,n(*(,. ??. Craven Hill (Á<U'ùcus, Hyde Park. Thc,l eminent K.C., who was 69 years of age had j j been under medical treatment for heart trouble for nIP past six weeks, and prac- ticaliy during the whole of that period he had been coutined to his liouse. His COll- dition from time to time caused the family anxiety, and the end was not entirely unexpected, though it came with suddenness from a severe heart at- tack followinf; a bad night. His son. Mr. St. John Francis W__ iHiatus.. ii-lio for the past fortnight has been en- j gaged at the Assizes at Swansea, had throughout that period been faring a call to his father's bedside. Such a call came on Tuesday afternoon, and -the brilliant son of a brilliant father lost no time in !)i!t[ryinj.foif to London. It was not till jj after the courts had risen for the day tin; f the report reached Swansea that Mr. B. j Francis Williams had passed away, and the sad news cast a gloom over those members nf the Bar who heard it. This is the hrst time for 50 years that a G!amcu'?an As?ize has been held in t1v. abseaee of its leader, and on pycry hand the feeling lias been expressed that it was 11 difficult to realise an Assize without his presence. o ,v that Mr. Williams has followed his old friend and opponent at tlie-Bar. Mr. j Abel Thomas, the old order may be sard to have changed, and a new order of coun- sol comes to the front to maintain thfl j high traditions of the South Wales Bar. But it will be long before those who had 1 the privilege oflwnring them will forgot the many legal hattlel; waged with such skill and persistency in tli.SwaTl.ea and Cardiff law courts between such kind; giants as Francis and Abe], as j those who knew and loved them ini-ari- I ably culled tlieox. D' Sk h Biojjraphicai Sketch. li Mr. Benjamin Francis Williams was I born late Bcv Enoch Williams. Baptist minister, Mer- = thyr. and was educated at Shrewsbury and • i Trinity College, Cambridge. He was called io the Bar at the Middle Temple in 1 Ri17. and two years afterwards lie married | Williametta, the daughter of the hte Mr, He took silk in and was made a bencher in 1891. Mr. Francis Wiliiams ji was the first Becorder of Cardiff, being appointed to that position by T.ord Hals- bury, who was his lifelong friend, in ISpO, during the mayoralty of the late Aldermen W. Sanders. A Conservative in politics, he twice uiv successfully attempted to enter Parlia- j ment. He first contested West Monmouth against the late Mr. ('. M. Warmington, being defeated by 5.3S9, and in 1892 he I contested Merthvr Boroughs in the Con- sorvsHvp intrrpst. bpiu? defeated hy Mr. Y?. A. Thonos. wbos'j majority was ft.M?, the lai?cat on recc.d up to that time. Profsssicnal Career. Mr n. F. Williams "1.5 regarded as a power! a] and reliable advocate, hoth in the .\isi Prius and in the Criminal Courts. Lord llalsbiiry used to consider; him, in Iiis palmiest days, the tine;t living advocate. Bis rise in the profes- sion was very rapid, for he had majiv friends, and briefs soon enme his way-! He threw himself so completely into Ilia profession that he soon came to I)o r(,. garded as one of the ablest juniors on j i the South Wales Circuit, lie became the! leader of the circuit oil the elevation ofj Mr. Bo wen Ha?latids to be County Court! Judge. j Until tiiis year ilDW) he never missed i N-(,ar i*]!L-.1) ]to ril?i-or diff Quarter Sessions. Be appeared on ? one side or the other in most of the great! criminal and civil cases heard in Soutb Wales during the past quarter of a cen-1 tury, conspicuous among those being th« j prosecution of the late Alderman David Morgan t" Dai o'r Nant ") for intimida-l tion at the time of the great coal striko of Jf,p,P-- Me was a lso opposed to Sir Bufus Isaacs, now Ijord Beading, on one occa- sion, and he appeared in the famous Taff Vale Kfiilway case against, the A.S.R.S.. i-e, was hardly a big murder trial on tho South Wales Circuit that he I was not engaged in. He also appealed for the Cardiff Cor poration in many important cases, and acted A)r them hi Parliamentary l11atter and particularly in connection with the! scheme for the extension of th? horou?h Mr. B. F. Williams could be exceedingly caustic at times, and he had a great gift of pungent.and incisive criticism. Not j oulv was ho an advocate of com mantling! ability, but he was a tionalist. and possessor of a verv prettv wit. Mr. n. F. Williams was twice married, his second wife being the widow of the late Major Donald Wateriield. R.A., li., survives him-  At the Assizes- of the (leath of Mr. Francis- Williams, the leader of the South Wales Circuit, was received at the assize (tourl-s at Swansea just before the courts ad- journed for the duy, and was whispered about, the corridors by many vm- j pathising groups. The assizes Ijarl veey 'lwndy ran their course, amI only a ;?' 'I ('()UllSl'l were sHlI at Swansea, hut 'uncM?st thr.K.? wh? rem?inpd th? prR?i?- ing sentiment as' to the great ?r"?. tho Bar, and especially the ?(mth 'Yahs Cin:n¡t. had s.?Ftai'?d was clearly ?n be noted. There was no Bar mess on Toes- day evening, or, undoubtedly, the death would have formed the subject of SYHl- pathetic references. It will be rernemix'red that just before, the Assizes opened the was published that, for the first time illness would pre- vent Mr. Franc is-William:; going on ci r- unit, and had necessitated him throwing up his briefs, and everywhere the news j was taken to be-:r u sinister meaning. It 1 was freely whispered that he was not likely to be seen any mom in the eOl!rh, which, for a couple of decades he had) adorned with his impassioned eloquence. and a gloom was felt not only among the! seniors, who knew him so wall, hut amongst the rising generation of har-I ristcrs, to whom he had been a sort of 1 beacon light in regard to throwing hho- self whole-hearted iy into the interests of his eUeut?. 1 Judges' Regret. Both Mr. Justice Lawrence and Mr. Justice Atkin heard the new.? during the I 'L h e iieii- .i diiring tii(, evening, and in private conversation ex-j pressed regret at the loss the circuit had j sustained. They, however, declined to bi-eak through the custom which exists of not giving publicity to the sentiments in newspaper interviews whilst on circuit.

Abei-ai-on, lost his life. it appears that Tuckheld, in company with two other youn, i-tien, entered the water near the Beach Hotel, just after eight o'clock, and as they weie coming out they were overtaken by a heavy breaker, which dashed them to the gre.uiid. companion, on re- caiuins their feet, discovered that he was missing, and his body was not recovered until after midnight, when it was picked up by his brother-in-law, Mr. Turner, of I Cattle-street. Aberavon, near the head of the pier. Tucktield, who was very well known and reapectpd in the locality, was a single I man, and a good aH-ronnd athlete. He was a strong swimmer so that it is sur- mised that the breaker which overtook I him must have rendered him unconscious. He was also an ex-sergeant of Territorials.
