Police Court Glances at Robberies and Frauds in London
London police court notes detail a complex Edinburgh style theft ring, including a Perth banker being robbed of £100 in Bank of England notes, the arrest of Van Mertens alias at Islington, and a bread baker recalling a watch stolen from a parlour. Several cases cover pickpocketing in Queen’s Safe Room, umbrella thefts, and a man charged with bigamy. The Lord Mayor warns against foreign lottery agents and cautions the public on scam letters. A juvenile offender case ends with six weeks hard labour after repeated insubordination at a refuge. The record closes with railway obstruction fears and a severe flood of case backlogs in the courts.
