Western Mail Thursday May 27th 1926. Harry CREBER, the old Swansea slow bowler and groundsman, is serving his thirtieth season with the Swansea Club. He is taking a benefit early in July and record patronage is hoped for. James DAVIES, a small-holder, of Port Skewett, near, Chepstow, was summoned at Abergavenny on Wednesday for stealing five lambs valued £10, the property of Percy Allen DAVIES, of Parsonage Farm, Llanddewi Skirrie, on May 25. Percy DAVIES said that on Monday he counted 104 ewes and lambs. Next day there were five missing. He went to Chepstow, and some distance along the road he saw the lambs in a van and identified them by his private mark. An attempt had been made to erase the mark and they had been marked on the left side with a kind of wheel freshly put on. The lambs were brought back to Abergavenny and released and went straight to their mothers. Th Bench on the application of the police, remanded prisoner in custody for a week.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals has decided to award its medal for animal life-saving to Mr. George EATWELL, the young Cwmcarn collier who risked his life in order to save a dog which had fallen down a mountainside crevice.

Henry WILLIAMS, of Tydfil Cottage, Pontypool, against whom an ejectment order was made at the court there on Wednesday, said that he, his wife, and nine children, whose ages ranged between three and twenty lived in the cottage, which had one bedroom and two other rooms. George PRICE, who applied for the order, said WILLIAMS had paid no rent since 1924. The cottage was unfit to live in, and he wanted to get WILLIAMS out in order to repair it. Mr. W.J. EVERETT appeared for the applicant. A man giving the name of Arthur Dennis LATIFORD, from Cork, rescued two boy bathers who were in difficulties in the canal at Cardiff.

Mr. ROWE, of the legal department of the Great Western Railway, prosecuted, and said the canary was stolen in transit; a search warrant was obtained, and the canary was found in the defendant's house, together with other articles including cloth, of a total value of £10.4s.2d. The pilfering took place between April, 1925, and March, 1926. Detective-inspector John READ, of the G.W.R. Police, spoke to interveiwing the prisoner at Port Talbot concerning the canary. When arrested defendant replied:"You have made a big mistake. This bird was bought by me, and if you think it was stolen you are wrong and will have to prove it. I know the person I bought it from, but I will not give you his name or address. I refuse to say more." Defendant in court pleaded guilty, and desired that the other charges be taken into considerstion. He was fined £5. or six weeks imprisonment. When James JAMES, Gorseinon, was charged at Swansea Police-court on Wednesday with inflicting grevious bodily harm on a man named Andrew O'CONNELL, 69, it was alleged that on being struck O'CONNELL rolled down the bank into the river, which fortunately was shallow. His wrist was fractured. JAMES, in defence, said he was drunk at the time, and he did not knock O'CONNELL into the river. It was quite accidental and he himself fell into the river going along the same bank; he was taking off his coat and waistcoat to get them dry, and not to attack O'CONNELL. The bench reduced the charge to one of common assault, and fined defendant £5. John Patrick
