Accidents and Incidents

 

From the Haverfordwest and Milford Haven Telegraph of Wednesday 22nd December 1897:

 

CHARGES OF THEFT.

            Frederick Hulse, employed on the trawler “Lincoln," was charged with stealing one pair of boots, value 14s., and one singlet, value 1s., the property of Wim. Scriven, cook on board the trawler "Lincoln," at Hakin, on 9th December.

            Wm. Scrivens deposed that he was a cook on board the trawler "Lincoln," and the prisoner was one of the crew. He retired to bed on Wednesday night last, at about twelve o'clock. He slept in the forecastle of the ship, and missed a singlet and the boots the following morning. He valued them at 15s.  He straightway gave information to the police. The next place he saw the articles was at Haverfordwest, in the possession of Sergt. Rosser.

            Hulse on being asked if he had anything to ask prosecutor replied in the negative.

            John Rosser, police-sergeant, stationed at Fishguard, deposed that on the Thursday night previous, in consequence of information received from Sergt. Brinn by wire, he kept a look-out, and about five p.m. he arrested the prisoner at Fishguard. He was wearing the boots and singlet. He took him into custody, and charged him with the offence, to which he replied that they were lent him.

            The prisoner was then asked by the chairman if he wished his case tried summarily, that is, have the case disposed of by that bench, or if he preferred getting it tried before a jury at a Quarter Sessions, or Assizes, and he replied that he would prefer getting the case finished then. He pleaded guilty.
