CRIME IN SWANSEA I
CRIME IN SWANSEA THE RECORDER ON NEW FORM OF INDICTMENT QUARTER SESSION TRIALS There were eleven cases for trial at the Swansea Borough Midsummer Quarter Sessions, which opened at the Guildhall on Friday morning, before the Recorder (Mr. Ivor Bowen, -K.C.). Mr. J. lL Davies was appointed foreman of the Grand Jury. The Mayor (Aid. T. Merrells,) occupied a Sloat on the Bench at the outset. THE RECORDER'S CHARGE. In his charge to the Grand Jury, the Recorder said it was certainly not satis- factory that there were so many cases for trial. They were long cases, some of them were very important cases, and for the lirst time for many years this was a heavy Quarter Sessions, almost approaching the dimensions of an ordinary Assizes. Re- ferring to the case of John Danaher, a Harbour police sergeant, who was charged with the theft of whisky, the Recorder ob- served it was an important case as far as the public were concerned, and in his opinion would require very close investiga- tion, as it affected the administration of the police affairs in one part of this im- portant county borough. SIMPLIFYING C RIM I N ALP R O. CEDURE. Proceeding, Mr. Ivor Bowen pointed out this was th-e first time the Grand Jury would discharge their duties under the Act which was recently passed for sim- plifying criminal procedure. It was one oi those Acts which law reformers for many years had endeavoured to effect the passing of, and it altered the procedure J] indictments which had been followed in this country for hundreds of years. Whether it would in the long run shorten business he did not know. He dared sav there would be ingenious persons wh o would try to get round it and make it longer. The Recorder concluded with a general direction to the Foreman as to how to sign the documents. TRIALS OF PRISONERS. BOYS GETTING OUT OF HAND. Frederick Charles Hawkins (It;), window cleaner, pleaded guilty to stealing three packets of cigarettes, value i 'shop in TTiion-street. kept by Miss Mar- I garei Kncath. Mr. Samuel, who prosecuted, told how the youth was caught; red-handed in the shop, but protested lie had just come to get an ice-cream wafer. Hawkins was also indicted, jointly with Thomas George Davies (15), errand boy, i for breaking and entering the dwelling- house of Alice Jane Monks, Eversley- road, Sketty, and stealing a lady's gold watch and black filk guard, value 1:5 lOs., on Iiinr 14tb. Hawkins pleaded not guilty, hut Davies admitted the offence. Mr. Samuel, however, who prosecuted, offered no evidence against Hawkins on this charge. Detective-Inspector JTayse said Haw-, 1¡;i) father was in the Navy, and he bad 4 very respectable home. He was con- victed of larceny at Swansea Police Court last year, and when 13 lie was charged with stealing a bicycle, but bound over. Recorder (to counsel): Have 1 power to thrash him? Mr. Samuel: I don't know, your Honour. The Recorder: Will you find out. pleaseP Replying to the Recorder, Detective- Inspector Hay.se said the boy had not been thrashed before. The Recorder: They are much too ien(iei- I A previous conviction for larceny iga-in,t Davies w;;« mentionf-rt. rtf'"postpöning sentence till later, the Recorder said: "Something will have to be done. These boy« are getting out of hand." DRINK AND NEGLECT OF CHILDREN. Ernest Haines (53), plasterer, was charged with neglecting his two children —Trevor (aged 111) und Frederick (aged 11)—in a manner likely to cause them unnecessary suffering. Accused, a widower, pleaded not guilty. Mr. L. M. Richards, who prosecuted, said it was a case of constant and con- tinuous neglect. Inspector Jones. X.S. P. O said th" children had obtained free meal? at school when prisoner was earning 3os. a week The house was in a very dirty condition. and bread had been so scarce at times that he (the witness) had to provide it himscif. The only furniture was a table, two chairs and an old form downstairs, and upstairs one bed, on which the father and the two hoys slept. The bed and bedding were in a dirty state Mrs. Katlierine Hannah Lewis, a neigh- bour, said the children's clothing was very ragged and dirty. Things had im- proved, however, since the police court hearing. Mi's. Llewellyn, another neighbour, j spoke to having seen the children selling cinders to buy bread Detective-Inspector Hayse said at Swin- don, in 1907, when his wife was alive, prisoner was, sentenced to three months* imprisonment for neglecting his four children. Inspector Jones, recalled, said the boj Trevor won a scholarship in 1913 tenable at the Higher Grade School, hut during the holidays his father pawned his clothe and lie was ashamed to go again, return- ing to the elementary school. He (the in- spector) was afraid" tli(- improvement would not be permanent. Drink was the cause of it all. The Recorder postnoned his decision. WOUNDING A SHIPMATE. Septimus Finch t33), marine fireman, pleaded guilty to wounding Alfred Nichol- son on board the 056. Hocking, lying at the KingJs Dock, on June 15th. Mr. Griffith Jones, who prosecuted, said both men were in drink at the time, and they had since become friends again NL-. Marlay Samson, for prisoner, said Finch, who belongedto North Shields and had a wife and two children, was not ordi narily given to drink, and he was sin- cerely repentant. Be asked the Recorder to take a merciful view of the case. Prisoner was bound over in his own recognisances in the sum of £5 for twelve months.

IAID FOR FRANCE
AID FOR FRANCE SWANSEA FUND TO PROVIDE MOTOR AMBULANCES. I 20 CUIN-EAS FOR A FLAG A town fund to provide motor ambulances for French soldiers was inaugurated at the Exchange, Swansea, on Friday afternoon. On the suggestion of the Mayor (Aid. T. Merrells) the meet- ing, which was representative of practi- oally all the industries in the district, was called, and the assembly hall and the approach to the building were decorated with the fing of the French nation and bunting. It is French Day, in celebra- tion of the birth of democracy in France, and it was singularly fitting for the inauguration of such a movement in a town which has for years enjoyed the friendship of the people of our nearest Allv. THE NECESSITY FOR THE FUND. I The Mayor, who presided, emphasised the need for the establishment of such a fund in the town, and he expressed entire confidence that the response would be a generous one, quite in keeping with the splendid record of the people of Swansea. France at the present moment, lie added, was suffering to a very great extent as far as their wounded were concerned, and he referred to the magnificent stand the French soldiers had taken in the defence of Verdun. It was a glorious record—a credit to the nation and to the manhood of the whole of the Allies. Ambulances were sorely needed, and it was up to the people of Britain to do all in their power to remedy the deficiency. It was his in- tention, he pointed out, to make on Satur- day an appeal to the whole of the pro- prietors of work, and collieries in the dis- trict, asking them to give the workmen an opportunity to demonstrate their prac- tical sympathy. Several gentlemen had placed sums at his disposal to allocate to various charities, and he (the Mayor) had decided to placet45 from it to the French fund, and he would personally sllhscrihe £5 to make the total to .50. (Applause.) Mr. W. T. Farr, in moving that a town fund be established, spoke of the French National Fete Day—an event, he said, that had been enjoyed in a very different manner in past years, when they enjoyed the. meetings of celebration with their French comrades, who were now taking their parts in the great conflict on the Continent, and a number of whom had fallen. He, too, reiterated the glorious stand they had taken in the defence of Verdun. They were fighting a cause of honour and freedom, and he considered that the present forward move in France of the British and the Allies was tlw be- ginning of the end. Knowing the mag- nificent record of the people of France, lie predicted a generous and sympathetic response to tho appeal, for there was no organisation deserving of support more than that of the Red Cross, which was doing glorious work. (Cheers.) A GREATER COMRADESHIP. In scccmhng. Major Harries remarked that they in Swansea were in ?rhaps a morA fortunate position than many other towns in the Kingdom in that they had grown up in touch with their French friends, and with the host of Britishers fighting side by side with them now in France, lie predicted that there would emanate a still greater feeling of com- radesliip amongst them and the fathers of the future generation of Britain than even ever existed before. He considered it an honour to be able to subscribe to such a movement, which had his hearty support, and he was confident the men of the docks would respond generously. A DUTY AND A PRIVILEGE. it is a duty and privilege to subscribe to a fund Iik" this," observed Mr. R. L. Sails, for the men are fighting our battles when we are safe at home." The resolution wa. carried with whole- hearted enthusiasm, and Mr. H. Goldberg, President of the Swansea Chamber of Commerce, moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding. Their soldiers were fighting side by side for freedom, and he trusted that the friendship which now existed would prove everlasting. It was fitting that this effort to help the people of France in succouring their wounded should bemadp on a day of celebration like this. (Applause). FRENCH CONSUL'S TRIBUTE. I M/F. Le Bars, the Acting French Con- su l at. Swansea, seconded, and he oon- gratulated the Mayor on his family's ex- ample of patriotism. He paid a tribute to the fine response of the boys of the French colony of Swansea, and they were deploring the deaths of eight of them— eight heroes—who had fallen doing their duty. But, there was a feeling of pride that there were such gallant boys who were so ready to make sacrifices to free their country and that of Britain from threatened oppression. A number had gained distinction, some had been awarded the Military Crose, and others had been mentioned in dispatches. He hoped this would be the last occasion on which they would meet on July 14th in ?wwar days, for he was looking forward to the celebration Qi a glorious peace. Con- cluding, lie considered that the Entente Cordiale which existed in Swansea before the war had been strongly cemented by The bloodshed of the French and British soldiers who had been fighting side by I side in France. Every penny contributed to the fund, he tee?n?d, would be weU spent. TWENTY GUINEAS FOR A FLAG. The Mayor offered for sale a small French flag worked in silk, and it was eventually knocked down to Mr. W. T. Farr for twenty guineas. The following subscriptions were pro- mised at the meeting:— ,t s. d. The Mavor 50 0 0 Graigola Merthyr Co. 100 0 0 Cleeves and Co. 100 0 0 Arthur Andrews and Co. 31 1 0 Mr. Hyam Goldberg 21 0 0 Atlantic Patent Fuel Co. 10 10 0 G. W. Cook and Co. 10 10 0 Mr. L. G. Jeffries 10 10 0 Ben Evans and Co 10 10 0 Major Henshell Jones 5 5 0 M. Le Bars 5 5 0 T. H. Couch 5 5 0 Mr. G. W. Lewis 3 3 0 Mr. R. G. Lewis 3 3 0 LONDON CELEBRATIONS. London streets were gay in celebration of France's T,14A ,Z Day. Practically every- body—women, children, as well as men— wore the Tricolour button-hole. All gladly embraced the. chance of honouring the glorious French nation. The, Committee of the French Red Cross hope to raise Zli)0,000 as a result of this effort. Many well known actresses sold flags at hotels and restaurants, and not ;4 few titled ladies did likewise.

LOCAL SCHOOL TREATS. A great number of Sunday school out- ings and treats arranged for Thursday were greatly interfered with by the incle- ment weather that prevailed for several hours, and in many cases tea was par- taken of in the schoolrooms. The Fhyddings Congregational Sunday School ventured to their field at Glanrnor Farm, Sketty. The rain clearing off. an enjoyable afternoon was spent. An excel- lnt. tea was provided, and good prizes wpre distributed. On Thursday afternoon the Oyster- mouth Church Sunday School held their annual treat. Tea was partaken of at the schools, after which the scholars repaired to a field kindly lent by Mr. Beyrton, where game,? were indulged in. The Cwmbwrhi Independents held their school tea on Thursday in the school- room, much to the disappointment of the children.

HEROES AT OXWfCH. I Wounded Soldiers Motor IntoI Gower. Forty-five wounded soldiers from the Danycoed, Pare Wern, and Y.M.C.A. hos- pitals, spent a thoroughly enjoyable time at Oxwich on Thursday afternoon, and while Jupiter Pluvius figured prominently in Swansea, Old Sol favoured the heroes as they rollicked on the charming Gower coast. It was an event organised by a number of enthusiastic local gentlemen, who, viewing with pride the sacritices of the men in kliaki. feel that they cannot do too much for them during their respite from trench life, and with this object in view they have decided to arrange similar outings every fortnight or three weeks. A GAME OF FOOTBALL. I On Thursday the motor cyclists, num- bering 35—one came specially from Cardiff —assembled in Oxford-street, and pro- ceeded to the various lw>spital§ to pick UD i thp soldiers. The ride through miles of charming country in Gower was greatly enjoyed, and when the party arrived at Oxwich the wounded warriors played a game of football. Some were on crutches, others had their arms in slings, and headfJ were bandaged, hut it did not prevent them from scoring; in fact, it was no in- frequent sight for the civilians to bo bowled over." The party was photo- graphed, and a sumptuous tea (provided ,Nitiiii b les, aiid by Mr. Wren Harris, Mumble#, and Misses Stephens, Oxwich), was partaken of. Councillor Gumming Evans (Mumbles) presided, the Royal toast was loyally honoured, and he tendered on behalf of the committee hearty thanks to the sub- scribers, Sir John T. D. Llewelyn, Messrs. I Richard Lewis, Giles Phillips, 11. L. j Pritchard, P. R. Price Jones, and R. W. Beor. Pianoforte selections were played by Mrs. Edmunds Evans (Manselton). After spending a very happy time the company returned home shortly after seven o'clock. OTHER OUTINGS TO FOLLOW. I The Secretary of the movement is Mr. C. II. Jenkins, Mr. Ivor Roberta is chair. man, and the committee, are Messrs. A. T. Morris, J. Davies, and Wy Harries. On Tuesday evening next a'meeting will bo held at the Grosvenor Cafe to consider business in connection with future out- ings. and all motor cyclists are asked to attend.
