F. LEATHUS

London


TRYING IT ON ONCE TO OFTEN

A dirty ill-looking young man, named James Murphy, a street hawker of water-cresses, was brought before Mr Jardine, at Bow-street, charged with having on several occasions obtained meat from Mr Leathus, butcher, 40, Store-street. Mr F. Leathus, a silversmith, and brother to the prosecutor, showed that on the 26th March he was in the prosecutor's shop in Store-street, when the prisoner entered and asked for a pound and a-half of rump steak, saying that he was sent from 20, Upper-Gower-street. As Mr Pocock, who lives at that house, was a customer of his brother's witness served the prisoner, who took the steak away. On the 2nd of April he again called, and said he was sent from the same house for two and a half-pounds of rump steak, which was supplied to him, and on the 6th of April, he obtained two and a quarter pounds of rump steak in the same way. On Saturday evening he again presented himself, and asked for two pounds of rump steak, and four mutton chops; but witness having in the meanwhile ascertained that the prisoner had imposed on him on the other three occasions, detained him, sent for a constable, and gave him into custody. Mary Ann Osborne, cook to Mr Pocock, 20, Gower-street, deposed that she was in the habit of ordering meat for the family, and was the only person who had authority to do so. On one occasion, about three months ago, the prisoner having called at the house with water cresses, she sent him to Mr Leathus for one pound of gravy beef, but she had not sent him on either of the days mentioned by last witness. Policeman Stone, 137 E, was sent for to Mr Leathus' shop, and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner had been once before in custody; but upon what charge witness could not say. The prisoner, who offered no defence, was committed for trial.

PHILIP SAMUELS & Co.

London and Scarborough


INSURANCE AGAINST ROBBERY

Justice Mathew and a special jury concluded the hearing of the action of Samuels v. Faber. In this case, Mr. Philip Samuels, a wholesale jeweller, of London, and retail jeweller with two shops at Scarborough, sued Mr. Faber, as the representative of a body of underwriters, who had underwritten a policy of insurance against robbery effected by the plaintiff, to recover £4,000, the value of jewellery said to have been stolen from his shop on the Spa at Scarborough in September last. The plaintiff"s case was that while his assistant, as was his custom, had locked the door of his shop and gone to dinner, the premises were entered and the jewellery stolen. The defendant, by his pleadings, alleged that the jewellery was not stolen in such a manner as would bring the loss within conditions of the policy. The case lasted three days, and the jury retired at a quarter-past four o’clock to consider their verdict, and at seven o'clock, being unable to agree, they were discharged.

...... SHANE

29, Queen's Road, Chelsea, London


Honesty in Adversity

Mrs. Shane, the wife of a watchmaker, who lately had a shop at 29, Queen's- road, Chelsea, made the following application at the Westminster Police-court She said that in September last her husband sold off all he possessed, and told her to go into the country and stay with her friends till he came to her. She was now in much distress with her three children, and had seen nothing of her husband, though she had received a small sum of money from him. Her husband had given into her possession a box containing watches and jewels left with him to be repaired, and she now wanted to know what she was to do with them. Mr. Selfe told her she ought to restore the articles to their rightful owners. Her conduct, he said had been most honest and praiseworthy.

........ COCKRAN

Whitechapel, London


Consistory Court

COCKRAN v. COCKRAN.


This was a suit of divorce, instituted by a silversmith, residing at Whitechapel, against his wife, for adultery; to which she pleaded condonation, and recriminated. It appeared that the parties were married in June, 1828, Mrs. Cockran being then only eighteen years of age; previous to their marriage, they cohabited together for nearly twelve months; that Mrs. Cockran was in the habit of going even with strangers to common brothels, and of throwing out allurements to men in the streets. There was no evidence to support the condonation, and that offered in support of the recriminatory charge was very slight: it appeared, however, that Mr. Cockran had suffered his wife to go to balls in Cateaton Street, which were frequented by improper persons.

Dr. Lushington felt convinced from the evidence, that the wife had been guilty of adultery. The charges against Mr. Cockran were by no means substantiated; if it had appeared from satisfactory evidence, that the misconduct of the wife arose from the negligence of the husband, he would not be entitled to relief; volenti non fit injuria was a maxim of the civil law, but he was not satisfied from the evidence, that the husband was aware of the improper connections which his wife had formed. On the whole, he was of opinion that the husband was entitled to the remedy he sought, though had he used proper caution, it was probable the necessity of this suit might have been spared.— Divorce granted.

WILLIAM MORRIS

Bermondsey, London


At the Southwark office, William Morris, aged forty, who was described in the charge-sheet as a jeweller, residing at 94 Snow's fields, Bermondsey, was charged with criminally assaulting Mary Ann Morris, his own daughter and also with violently assaulting Caroline Morris, his wife. After hearing the evidence, Mr Secker said he was of opinion that he could not deal with it any further. The offence, therefore, that he had now to dispose of was the brutal and violent assault on his wife. She now stood before him covered with marks and bruises caused by his inhuman conduct towards her at different times, and he should not be doing his duty as a magistrate unless he punished him with the utmost severity of the law. He should therefore sentence him to the House of Correction for six months, with hard labour. The wretch was then removed by the gaoler, amid the execration of a crowded court.

WILLIAM BAKER

London


STREET DIAMOND MERCHANTS

The police have had complaints of obstruction in Hatton Garden caused by diamond merchants who transact business on the pavement, and yesterday Mr. William Baker, a jeweller, was summoned at Clerkenwell.

Mr. Ricketts said defendant met a friend, and before a very few words were exchanged the constable requested them to move.

Mr. Bros asked defendant if he objected to diamond merchants being moved off, and the reply was "No!"

Mr. Bros: That's just it. No one objects to someone else being moved on, but everybody objects to being moved on himself.

The defendant was ordered to pay 20s., the costs.

C.L. REED

54, Strand, London


£500 JEWEL ROBBERY

Strand Goldsmith's Window Mysteriously Cleared


Another mysterious jewel robbery, the third of the kind within a few days, was discovered on Monday.

Thieves entered the premises of Mr C. L. Reed, goldsmith and silversmith, of 54, Strand, and carried off booty valued at between £300 and £500. The robbery, which was only discovered on Monday morning, must have been, committed between Saturday and Sunday. The marauders acted in a very mysterious fashion, for neither the windows, which were covered by strong shutters, nor the doors, which were securely barred and locked, were tampered with.

The articles stolen include the usual jewellery which adorns the windows of such shops. The whole of the front window was cleared in a thorough manner. The thieves also showed some discrimination by leaving behind the less valuable articles, such as cheap brooches, seven-and-sixpenny gun-metal watches, and other unimportant articles in the side windows. Several silver cups and other valuable articles inside the shop were untouched.

THOMAS MORLEY

47, Oxford Street, London


AN IMPUDENT THIEF.—At Marylebone Police-office, on Wednesday, a shabbily-dressed man, named Thomas Tyndall, was charged, before Mr. Rawlinson, with having, in the following very daring manner, stolen a watch, the property of Mr. Morley, 47, Oxford-street. . It appeared from the evidence that on the previous evening, about six o'clock, the prisoner entered the shop, and asked Mr. Morley the price of a good silver watch. One of the value of at £3 18s, was shown to him, and, after looking at it for a few minutes, he expressed a wish to see one of a superior kind. A watch of the price of seven guineas was laid down on the counter for his inspection, when he immediately took it up and ran out of the shop with it as fast as he could. He was pursued, and, on a cry of “Stop thief” being raised, he was ultimately taken into custody. In his progress along one of the streets he flung the watch into the road. The prisoner, whose only defence was that he was out of employ, and had not a decent shoe to his foot, was committed to Newgate for trial.
