KNIGHTON. FIRE.

A fire, which might have had very serious consequences, occurred on Saturday night at the Central Wales Hotel. About 8 o'clock a gentleman entered and told the landlady he smelt fire. She immediately ran upstairs, and found the curtains of the room in which her children slept were in a blaze. Luckily, plenty of help was at hand, and the fire was extinguished before the arrival of the brigade. The children were uninjured, but the walls were scorched, and considerable damage was done. It is supposed that the "high wind blew and moved the gas bracket so that the flame came in contact with the bed. curtains, and ignited them.

CAUTIONED.

Edward Jones and George Jones, sawyers, living at Knuckles, were charged with having been drunk on licensed premises, on Dec. 22nd; and Martha Parton, Central Wales Railway Inn, was charged with having permitted drunkenness on licensed premises. All the defendants denied the charges.

Inspector Rogers deposed to having visited the Central Wales Railway Inn and finding Edward Jones and George Jones in the bar-room. They were drinking beer and were quite drunk. Shortly after, they left the inn and went up the street, staggering as they went along. When the men were in the bar, witness went to see Mrs Parton in another room and told her that there were two men drunk in the bar-room. She asked witness who they were, and he told her to go and see. She went and said that they were very quiet. Witness rejoined that that might be, but nevertheless they were very drunk. The two men tried to get up and speak, but failed, as they were too drunk to do so.

P.C. Pugh corroborated, and said that he accompanied Inspector Rogers to the inn. The two defendants were drunk and could not speak in consequence.

Mrs Parton : The Inspector was mistaken.

Inspector Rogers remarked that he had too much experience in such matters to know whether men were drunk or not. In the present case the men were certainly drunk.

Mrs Parton : If I knew they were drunk I would not have given them the beer.

The Chairman said that he should do all he could to put an end to drunkenness on licensed premises. In the present case the two men certainly did seem to have had too much drink; but he would dismiss the case, with a severe caution, and he hoped Mrs Parton would take warning.

Mrs Parton : Thank you, sir.

Radnor Express - 5th October 1899

A PUBLICAN IN TROUBLE

Martha Parton, Central Wales Railway Inn, Knighton, was charged with supplying certain intoxicating liquors to wit, beer to Thomas Jones, a person then drunken on the 5th September, and Thomas Jones, Bucknell, timber man, was charged with being found drunk on the licensed premises of the Central Wales Railway Inn, on the same date.

Mr F. L. Green, Knighton, appeared for Martha Parton, and pleaded not guilty.

P.S. Hopton said he saw defendant, Thomas Jones, about 4-30 in the afternoon in Church street. Hs noticed he was drunk and staggering about. He went down Church Lane and witness followed. Defendant went into the Central Wales Inn, and was leaning against the bar in the act of drinking a glass of beer when witness entered. Mrs. Parton's two daughters were in the bar, and witness said—" You have done wrong supplying this man." One of the daughters replied "I did not notice him when he came in. Witness said "You see how he is now." and the daughter answered " Yes drunk." Defendant Jones then put the beer on the counter and left the house. Witness asked for Mrs. Parton and the daughter said she had gone to lie down. He saw defendant Jones on the road. He gave his name and address and was very quiet, but was very drunk and said a little got over him and that he was sorry

By Mr Green : Defendant had not been in the house many minutes before witness entered, and found him leaning against the bar window. He was talking very incoherently and they would be able to tell that he was drunk. Mrs Turner, who lived near said anyone would be able to tell that he was drunk.

Mr Green addressing the bench said Mrs Parton managed this hotel by herself entirely, with no one to do anything but a young daughter. On this occasion she was obliged to leave the bar for a few minutes, and during her absence this man entered, and was served by the daughter in total ignorance. It was one of those unfortunate cases, where a woman could not be forever in the bar. After quoting from "Stone'sJustices Manual," he submitted that this man had been served in perfect ignorance by this little

girl during the absence of Mrs. Parton, who was only away for a few minutes. She would have been present in court but had no one to leave in charge of the house, and had asked him to say that she was sorry it occurred.

Mr Oldbury : No doubt it was done in ignorance by the daughter, but still Mrs Parton is responsible for the good management of the house, and we are also sorry it occurred. She was summoned in 1894, and the case dismissed with a caution. We dismiss it again this time with a second caution, but on another occasion she will be more severely dealt with.

South Wales Daily News - 7th March 1900

FOUND DEAD IN A STABLE. An inquiry was held on Monday At the Police Court, Knighton, by Mr Fred L. Green relative to the death of Robert Bell (60), whose body was found on Sunday in a stable at the back of the Central Wales Railway Inn.

Jane Lewis, a servant at the Central Wales Inn, deposed to going to the stable on Sunday morning for the purpose of calling John Roberts, a man who was employed about the house, to fetch her some coal, and on opening the door saw deceased lying on the floor near the manger. She recognised him as a man to whom she served twopennyworth of whisky on the previous afternoon.

John Roberts, ostler, said deceased was at the Central Wales Inn the day previous, and witness pat him in the stable some time between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, thinking that he was drunk, as he was unable to walk without assistance. He went to see him again about 6.30 the same evening, and said, "Bob, are yon any better now?" and deceased replied," Jack, I am getting better, and shall soon be all right." Had witness known the man was ill he should certainly have gone in search of a doctor. Witness slept in the loft, but did not go through the stable in winch deceased lay. He did not see him again until 9 a.m. on Sunday.

Dr. J, A. K. Griffiths said he attended the deceased about a fortnight ago for an attack of influenza. He also had chronic bronchitis and a weak heart. He got better from the influenza. Witness was of opinion that deceased died of a weak heart brought on no doubt through the reaction after drink.

The jury returned a verdict to the effect that "The deceased died a natural death accelerated by drink," and added a rider that great remissness attached to someone considering that he was put in the stable in the afternoon and was not seen from 6.30 in the evening until 9 o'clock the following morning.

CHILD'S BODY IN A BOX. Knighton Hotel Mystery A workman had occasion to open a trap-door in the ceiling at the Central Wales Railway Hotel, Knighton, yesterday, and on doing so came across a tin box. On being examined it was found to contain the decomposed remains of a child, which were wrapped in a newspaper dated 1889.

Evening Express - 27th April 1907

Knighton Hotel Mystery A STARTLING DISCOVERY. An inquest was held at Knighton yesterday upon the remains of a child found in a box at the Central Wales Hotel, Knighton. John Roberts, labourer, Mill Green, said that on Wednesday he was called by Mrs. Hand to close a trap-door over the box-room in the attic. He could not reach it, and on getting a box to stand on found a tin box, which fell down. It partly broke open, and on Mrs. Hand taking hold of it the top fell in. The contents included what he thought was the body of a child. Inspector Jones spoke to being called. The Coroner said he did not propose to take any further evidence that day. The body of this unknown child had been found under peculiar circumstances, and was very much decayed. He thought it best to adjourn the inquest for medical evidence and for the police to make inquiries. He understood the doctor's evidence would prove that the remains were certainly the body of a child. The inquest was then adjourned until Thursday next.

CHILD'S MUMMIFIED BODY [Remarkable Discovery in Mid-Wales] The adjourned inquest on the body of an unknown child found hidden amongst the rafters of the attic at the Central Wales Hotel, Knighton, as already reported in the "Western Mail," was held on Thursday by Mr. Fred. Green. Dr. W. N. Park stated that he was called to the hotel on April 24, and on the upper landing he saw a box, and by its side the mummified remains of an infant. He had no doubt that the remains were human. He examined them again on April 25, and found they were the body of a child which had become mummified. Most of the soft parts and all the solid organs had gone into a powder. There was also a white substance, probably lime, and bits of an old newspaper, dated September 7, 1887. He could not state the age or the sex of the deceased. He had found the nightdress fitted a child of five or six months old, and it was very nicely made and embroidered across the neck, but the bottom part of it had been reduced to powder. He had personally interviewed the occupants of the inn for the last thirty years, and they said they had no suspicion of anything being there. They said they had never seen the place, although they knew there was a trapdoor there. The jury returned an open verdict.

1914 William Powell

The Radnor Express - 10th December 1914

EARLY MORNING DRINKS. Knighton Landlord's "Patriotic Feelings." UNFOLDED AT POLICE COURT. At Knighton, on Thursday, William Powell, Central Wales Inn, was summoned for opening his premises during prohibited hours on the 2nd ult. Sergt. Bufton deposed that at 4.20 a.m. he saw two yeomen (Lewis and Monnington) enter the inn by a door which was opened for them. He asked Powell how he came to open house so early; six o'clock was the proper time. He replied, "I know, the men came to the door and said they were going by train. I took them in and gave them a drink." Witness entered the bar, which was in darkness, and Mr Powell told them they had better go. so they walked out. Powell asked him several times not to report the case, stating that it should not occur again. Cross-examined, witness said he saw no money pass between the soldiers and Powell. Defendant said he was in bed when he heard the bell ring. He went to the window and saw two men in uniform. He came down and they asked for a drink. He said he would give them one, and gave them a rum. There was no promise of payment and no money passed. The men left by train for Welshpool. It had been his practice to give a packet of cigarettes, tobacco, or a drink to practically the whole of the men who had gone from Knighton to serve their country. Cross-examined by P.s. Bufton Mr Powell said it was out of patriotic and sympathetic feel- ings that he gave drinks or tobacco to soldiers going from Knighton. P.S. Bufton I should say it is not a very good thing to give soldiers spirits during the early hours of the morning. Mr J. C. Bowdler (solicitor) who appeared for the Shrewsbury Licensed Victuallers' Association, submitted that no case had been made out against Powell. The Chairman (Mr Lote) said the justices had, under the circumstances, agreed to dismiss the case, but he appealed to Powell not to let such a thing occur again. They took it that he gave the drink out of goodwill. The summonses against the two members of the Yeomanry for being on the licensed premises during prohibited hours, were dismissed.

The Royal Christening - Knighton.—The inhabitants of this spirited town determined to rank among the first to celebrate the auspicious event. The poor were first thought of on the occasion, and the benevolent little community subscribed so liberally that nearly 200 families received one cwt. of coals each, which they acknowledged with much gratitude.—On Friday the Ball at the Chandos Arms was brilliantly and numerously attended, the company numbering 140 persons, amongst whom we observed the following:— The lady of J. Ackers, Esq. M.P., Miss Whittaker, Misses Rock, Rev. J. R. Brown and lady, Rev. J. Kenchant and lady, Rev. J. Coope and lady, R. Green, Esq. and the Misses Green, Rev. Mr. Powell and Miss Powell, T.

Jones, Esq.—The rooms were tastefully and appropriately decorated, and dancing commenced at ten o'clock.— Mrs. Rogers and R. Price, Esq. M.P. opened the Ball with the old English country dance, followed in rapid succession by the more graceful quadrille and lively waltz. At 12 the supper-room was thrown open, and a rich display of various delicacies was arranged in Mrs. Weyman's usual style elegance. After the repast dancing was resumed with unabated spirit. —The graceful and condescending manners of Mrs Rogers and Mrs. Green, (the Patronesses), were the theme of general admiration; and the polite attentions of R. Price, Esq. M.P. and Edw. Rogers, Esq., Patrons, were highly estimated by everyone present. The Stewards also deserve their meed of praise, for their attentions were unremitting, and the arrangements gave general satisfaction. —The company separated at a late (or rather an early hour) highly delighted, and the celebration of the christening of our Prince, will be remembered as one of the brightest and gayest days of our existence. Loyalty and social feeling is our motto. In truth we think dear little Knighton is one of the " green spots that bloom in the valley of life."

KNIGHTON. GIG ACCIDENT.—A few evenings ago, as Mr. W. Weyman, of Knighton, who had been at Newcastle, was returning home in a phaeton, one of the wheels caught one of those heaps which so disgracefully abound, and it was overturned. The vehicle, which was an old one, parted in two, and left Mr. Weyman, his two children and Miss Davies, who occupied it, in the road almost unhurt. The horse was not so fortunate, as he went at a furious rate towards Clun with the wheels and broken shafts behind him, and the poor animal was not caught until he had severely injured himself.
