WESTERN MAIL TUESDAY DECEMBER 7. 1926.  No. 297. ABERYSTWYTH COLLEGE-Dr. T. JONES Mentioned For Headship. A correspondent of the "Teachers' World" connects the name of Dr. Thomas JONES, M.A., Principal Assistant Secretary to the Cabinet, with the vacant headship of Aberystwyth College.    Many old students wonder whether he will not become the principal of his alma mater. Dr. JONES, ran the late Mr. J. H. DAVIES closely when the latter secured the appointment. photo on page 6. MR. RICHARD JENKINS-One Of The Oldest Solicitors In Swansea.    One of the oldest Swansea solicitors, Mr. Richard JENKINS, who had been in practice in the town for over 44 years, died at his home in Richmond-road, Swansea, at the age of 70 years.    Mr. JENKINS was the son of Mr. Richard JENKINS, of Gellyfeddau, Llangyfelach. Together with his cousin, Mr. C. B. JENKINS, he carried on the well-known legal business of Messrs. R. and C. B. JENKINS up to 1923, when he retired, and Mr. Lionel R. LLOYD, joined the firm, which is now known as Messrs. R. and T. B. JENKINS and LLOYD.    Mr. JENKINS was for some years a member of the Swansea Board of Guardians, but otherwise took no part in public affairs. He was highly-esteemed, especially in professional circles. CAR AND LORRY CRASH-Haverfordwest Grocers Awarded Damages.   The sequel to a motor collision at Treffgarne, Pembrokeshire, came before Judge Frank DAVIES at the Haverfordwest County-court on Monday, when Messrs. W. H. JOHN and Son, wholesale grocers, Haverfordwest, sued James LOVELUCK, of  Aberkenfig, Bridgend, for £72. 2s.3d. in respect of damages to plaintiffs' lorry and £12. 2s.3d. for car hire.   Mr. Trevor HARRIES (instructed by Messrs. WALDRON, Son, and GREEN, Cardiff) for plaintiffs, and Mr. Clarke WILLIAMS (instructed by Messrs. Eaton EVANS and WILLIAMS, Haverfordwest) for defendant.    Mr. Trevor HARRIES explained that the claim arose out of the alleged negligent driving of the defendant's car. On May 10 last the plaintiff's lorry was proceeding from Letterson to Haverfordwest, and when near Treffgarne Quarry the defendant's car overtook the lorry. Although the road was 20ft. wide at this spot the car swerved towards its proper side and in doing so struck the off hub of the front wheel of the lorry, causing it to crash into a telegraph pole. A police-sergeant was on the scene shortly afterwards and there was an allegation then that the plaintiff swerved out, but evidence would be called as to the tracks of the lorry being perfectly straight.    For the defence Mr. Clarke WILLIAMS submitted that there was a certain mystery about the accident. Defendant denied emphatically that he struck the lorry. No satisfactory material evidence had been called to show that it had been struck.    His Honour gave judgment for the plaintiffs' for £43.
