A fifteen-year-old boy named Evan HOPKINS, of 17, Castle-buildings, Neath, is lying in a serious condition at the Swansea Hospital as the result of an accident on Port Tennant-road, Swansea. It appears that a lorry proceeding along the road towards Jersey Marine with HOPKINS standing on the step. Whilst the lorry was passing a tramway standard the boy bumped against it re-bounded, and then fell under the lorry. He was taken to Swansea Hospital and detained suffering from a fractured pelvis, fractured ribs, and a fractured shouldert-bone. Mr. W. Luther J. DAVIES, the well-known motor-cyclist of 71, Commercial-street, Newport, died in the Royal Gwent Hospital on Sasturday evening following injuries sustained in a collision in Newport on Wednesday last. Mr. Luther DAVIES, who was 45 years of age, was known throughout South Wales as a speed and reliability test rider, and quite recently scored a number of successes on Pendine sands. At the time that he met with the accident, Mr. DAVIES was out for a trial spin in a new car with a local medical man. It is stated a G.W.R. motor delivery van skidded, as the result of which mishap the two vehicles collided and Mr. DAVIES was flung through the windscreen of his car, sustaining severe cuts and a fractured leg. William THOMAS, a postman, of Lougher, has been detained at the Swansea Hospital with head injuries, Thomas was found lying by the Fairwood Common-road, near the Devil's Elbow, in a semi-conscious condition. He had been cycling, and it is believed that he must have skidded over the bank. David DAVIES, farmer, Coynant Farm, Llanfynydd, was fined £2, with costs, at Llandilo on Saturday for assaulting Robert James STEWART 14, a boy in his service from Dr. Barnado's Homes. The boy said that on the 8th inst. he was carrying hay, which his employer was loading on his back, and with the fourth load, which was to heavy, defendant pushed him and afterwards kicked him, causing him to fall. Defendant said, "Hurry up, and carry the hay to the shed, and don't stick there like an ass." Next day, while witness was washing up the dinner things, defendant struck him on the side of his face with his open hand, and said, "Hurry up, boy." After finishing the washing up witness got his cap and ran away. Rees THOMAS, Pennybank, Llandilo, said he found the boy in the village wet to the skin, and he gave him dry clothes, food, and shelter for the night. There was a bruise on his leg, which Police-sergeant W.A. JONES, who took the boy to the workhouse next day, said was a fresh bruise, and seemed to be the mark of a boot toe. Mr. Hugh WILLIAMS (for the defence) submitted the boy's story was uncorroborated. In imposing the fine, the magistratesaid said they did so as a warning to farmers not to ill-treat these boys. An echo of a charabanc crash was heard at Pontypool on Saturday, when James WARFIELD, motor-driver, pleaded guilty to driving without a licence and also to having given a false name and address to the police. George HILEY, of Abertillery, pleaded guilty to having aided and abetted in the first offence. Police-sergeant COTTERELL said that WARFIELD gave him the name of George HILEY and produced a driving in that name. When witness went to Abertillery, however, he found that no one of that name had ever driven the charabanc. WARFIELD was later brought to the police-station by his employer, and then said he had borrowed the licence for the holidays from HILEY, his own having expired. WARFIELD was fined 40s. and HILEY 20s.
