Clerkenwell Church Consecrated Amid Controversy and Support
Lieutenant Colonel Shawe and the secretary to the embassy at Constantinople attended an audience with the King. The newly built St. Philip church in St. Mark's Clerkenwell was consecrated by the Bishop of London. A sermon on faith and preaching followed. The vestry’s earlier refusal to fund consecration drew wide interest. Funds were raised to cover costs including church plate and organ. The Chowbereg Commissioners funded the church on ground in Sierpegante, with T. J. Lloyd Baker supplying the site as a free gift. Rev. T. Watson was named minister amid reported resistance from two other clergy.

Surrey Sessions Accuse Men Over Christmas Room Robbery
Richard Cox and James Shepherd faced trial for stealing a purse containing two sovereigns after a Christmas Eve incident at the Bricklayers Arms in Croydon. In a four bed room adventure, Cox and Shepherd allegedly entered a couple’s bedchamber, disrupted the bedclothes, and took the money while the man’s child slept nearby. The jury acquitted the pair after a long deliberation, with the Chairman warning against such “pranks.” James Rasher Garman was convicted of stealing leather from a Kingston bookseller after a similar employment breach, with the judge deeming ingratitude and betrayal as aggravating factors.
