WESTERN MAIL WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 8. 1926.  No. 303. POLICE VISIT TO STORE-Alleged Find Of Sacks of Stolen Lead. Jacob KROMSKY (39), a Swansea marine store dealer, pleaded not guilty before Mr. Commissioner Hugh JONES K.C., to stealing and receiving a quantity of lead, the property of the Ocean Dry Dock Company (Limited) and the Great Western Railway Company. Mr. Verity PRICE (instructed by Mr. Ruert LEWIS) prosecuted, and Mr. Walter SAMUEL (instructed by Mr. J. H. BENJAMIN) defended.   Mr. Verity PRICE said that the business, which was conducted at the Strand, Swansea, was the property of KROMSKY'S wife, and the defendant was in active control. Lead had been stolen, and the police gave KROMSKY and his foreman a very full description of the missing property.    On September 18 his premises were searched by the police, but the lead was not found. On October 11 the police again called at the premises, and found two entries in the book relating to lead. Twenty sacks of lead were found on the premises, and the police found that there was scrap at the top, and at the bottom was the lead which the prosecution alleged was the stolen property.   The Commissioner indicated during the hearing of evidence that the court need not trouble itself with anything except the charge of receiving.    Evidence was given by Detectives GARDGE and WRIGHT.   For the defence, Mr. Walker SAMUEL submitted that there was no evidence in law to the effect that this stuff was ever in KROMSKY'S possession. The person who owned and carried on the business was Mrs. KROMSKY.   The Commissioner, however, decided that the case must go to the jury.   KROMSKY said he originally owned the business himself, but sold it to a man named B. L. LEWIS, who, two years later, sold it to his (defendant's wife). During his wife's ownership he had managed the business, but did no buying. If stolen lead had come in, and he knew it had been stolen, there would have been nothing to prevent him melting it down to destroy its identity.   The Court adjourned until this (Wednesday) morning. PENARTH DIVORCE SUIT-Insurance Broker Finds Letter To Wife.   Mr. William Robert HENDERSON, an insurance broker, of Westbourne-road. Penarth, was granted a decree nisi with custody of the child by Mr. Justice BATESON in the Divorce Division on Tuesday. The petition was on the ground of the misconduct of his wife , Dorothy May, with Mr. Pryce JONES.   The suit was undefended.    Petitioner said that he was married to his wife at Llanishen on October 18, 1913, and for some time they lived at Pembroke House, Clifton. He interceped a letter to his wife.    The hall-porter of the Grand Spa Hotel, Clifton, gave evidence that the respondent and the co-respondent stayed at the hotel on two occaisions. PENYGRAIG DOCTOR'S CAR IN TRADGEDY.    "Accidental death" was the verdict returned by Mr. R. J. REES, coroner, at an inquiry at Trealaw on Tuesday on Trevor BROOKS (3) son of Mr. E. BROOKS, 287, Brithweunydd-road, Trealaw, who was knocked down by the car of Dr. H. D. LLEWELLYN, Penygraig. The evidence indicated that the boy ran across the road in front of the car which was travelling at about ten miles an hour. SWANSEA DRIVER'S LICENCE SUSPENDED. Thomas Edward BOWEN, a taxi-driver, was fined 40s. at Swansea Police-court on Tuesday and his licence was suspended for a month for dangerous driving on the Mumbles-road on the night of November 10 last when three motor-cars were in collisision near the Westcross Hotel. ILLEGAL COUPONS-Cardiff Printers Fined £10 Each.   Four printers of ready-money football betting coupons were fined £10 each at Cardiff on Tuesday.    The prosecutions were instituted as the result of police raids on Cardiff commission agents on October 18.   The defendants were Herbert Steele WAKEFORD, carrying on business as C. WAKEFORD and Sons at East Canal Wharf; William E. JONES, 1 Clive-road, Cardiff; Alec WARD, 119, Queen-street; and Cardiff Printers (Limited) 142, City-road.    Mr. O. Temple MORRIS appeared for WAKEFORD and Cardiff Printers (on instructions from Messrs. MacINTOSH, THOMAS, and Co. and Messrs. James MORGAN and Co. respectively), Mr. B. W. P. MORGAN appeared for WARD (who it was stated, printed the coupons for his own use), and Mr. J. Lewis WALTERS for JONES.    The defence in each case was that the coupons were printed after an assurance had been given that they would be used for credit purposes only.   Mr. O. Temple MORRIS and Mr. Lewis WALTERS asked that the financial loss which would be suffered by the defendants WAKEFORD, JONES, and Cardiff Printers should be taken into consideration.    The Stipendiary (Mr. St. John FRANCIS-WILLIAMS) said this was rather daring. It meant that because the defendants would no longer be able to carry on illegal business he was asked to reduce the penalty. DAIRYMAN'S CLAIM FAILS.   William SCHOFIELD, a dairyman, of Stumpy Lodge, sued Wilfred REYNOLDS, of Station House, Argoed, in the same court for £16, damages to a milk float and horse.   Mr. E. T. EDMUNDS, for complainant, said that defendant, in taking a bend on the Colcot-Port-road on his motor-cycle , shot over to his wrong side and crashed into a milk float.   In the collision the pillon rider, a young Blackwood woman named CHIVERS, was killed.   His Honour, dismissing the claim for damages, said he was not satisfied that defendant had been driving negligently.
