Worn Bed Pan and Robbed Rooms In Noblemen's Residence
A servant described entering Lord William Russell's house to find a warming pan, open drawers, and scattered silver. Courvoisier, the valet, fled with the warming pan after James Ellis and other staff raised alarm. He denied theft but was questioned as investigators examined the bedchamber, dressing items, and a blood-stained pillow. The case continues with testimonies from staff and the cook as investigators prepare further evidence.

Missing valuables found at the house of a murdered noble
About noon Mr. Commissioner Mayne and Superintendent Baker visited the premises for examination but delayed proceedings as witnesses were needed. Most missing items were recovered except silver tablespoons and brooches. The watch was found in a sink behind a pantry leading to discovery by a sergeant. A sovereign lay under pantry flooring, linked to Courvoisier’s statements. The cook and housemaid, present since the murder, joined the Bow Street search. The housemaid fears finding new employment due to her role in the household.
