Poaching on Great House Farm, Llandough, prosecuted for the Bute Estate (Barry police court, Jan 1908)
Why it is not ours: Our farm, but a game prosecution: nothing in it bears on title or tenure.
The record
- The court's view: a Saltmead man “pleaded guilty … to poaching on Great House Farm, Llandough”; the underkeeper was John David; the sentence was two months (Evening Express, 11 Jan 1908).
- “Mr L. Harris, solicitor, prosecuted on behalf of the Bute Estate” (Barry Dock News, 17 Jan 1908; read from a search snippet).
What it does and does not establish
It places the farm's name in a 1908 court report and shows the Bute Estate prosecuting game offences there. It does not show who held the freehold or on what terms the Williamses farmed.
Next step
Retained as context.

Exclusion means “not this property” or “not in scope”, not that the source is false, and not evidence of wrongdoing by itself.
