Frightful Murder
IN
Duke-Street, Aberdare
ON
Friday Evening, Nov. 30th, 1866.
When one
THOMAS WATKINS.
A Cattle Dealer, was murdered by
BENJAMIN JONES, Labourer,
Who has been committed upon the Coroner's warrant to take his trial at the next Swansea Assizes upon the charge of wilful murder.
Working men, come now, consider,
Awful, wretched is your case;
Look around you, see the quarrels
And the murders which take place.
Drink strong drink, has ruined (?many)
And some noble working men;
When will you look at its evils,
And avoid it, now say when?
At Aberdare a little quarrel—
It could not be very great;
But it did excite the parties
All to an alarming beat;
Costs incurred by the complainant—
Great uneasiness to mind,
