Swaxsza Aug 3 report describes an early morning examination of suspects in the Bolgoed gate destruction near Swansea. Troops stood by as magistrates met in private, then opened sessions. Witness John Jones details a mob of hundreds, many masked, who used guns and tools to pull down the toll gate and house. He identifies Daniel Lewis as Rebecca and names Griffith Vaughan, David Jones and Morgen among others. Police recovered a package of arms sent to Vaughan, with a countermanded delivery notice. The case cites a 19th century turnpike destruction statute and records the crowd's drift back toward the Bolgoed hillside after the attack.
