"Theft" in Clifton (Lennox Villa).15

From the Bristol Mercury :-
"On Monday afternoon last, between two and four o'clock, a large quantity of silver plate was stolen from the house of P. H. Edlin Esq., Lennox-villa, Clifton. Some of the articles had the initials "P.H.E." engraved on them and the value is estimated at upwards of £40. The robbery is supposed to have been effected by one of the beggars who go from house to house offering matches etc., for sale; the print of naked feet was found on the floor cloth in the hall, and in the china pantry from which the silver was stolen; and it is believed that the thief or thieves must have watched for the door being left open for a minute or two, have slipped round the corner, into the china pantry, and carried off from their the contents of the plate-basket, leaving the basket empty.
A curious circumstance connected with occurrence is, that a small dog, generally kept in the garden of Mr. Edlin's residence, and which had been missing for about a week previously to the robbery, was found restored to his former habitation on the day after; it is conjectured from this fact that the theft was a long planned one, and that the dog, whose presence was an obstacle to its being committed, was got out of the way for a time, and returned when his absence was no longer productive of any benefit to the perpetrators of the crime. We advise the public to be well on their guard against the visitors of persons of that class by whom Mr. Edlin's plates is supposed to be stolen. A reward of £10 had been offered for their apprehension, but we believe the police have not as yet succeeded in discovering any clue which may lead to their identification."

Mr. Dickens's numerous engagements will prevent his visiting Bristol for that purpose this year, but we are glad to hear that he has promised to deliver a lecture at the Athenaeum at the commencement of the next session."

"A BARRISTER ASSAULTED IN COURT. - On Saturday, Mr. George Grant, ship and share broker of Bristol, was held to bail by the magistrates of that city, himself in 50l. and two sureties of 25l. each, to appear at the next quarter sessions to answer an indictment directed to be preferred against him at the public expense for an assault committed in the police-court the previous Thursday on Mr. Edlin, of the Western Circuit. Mr. Edlin was retained on behalf of Frederick Wardley, a clerk in Mr. Grant's office, who was charged with embezzlement, and in the course of his address to the magistrates on behalf of the accused the learned counsel characterised the demeanour of the prosecutor as "unbecoming a man of business, a gentleman, or a Christian." Mr Grant, who was standing behind Mr. Edlin, thereupon seized him by the collar, exclaiming with vehemence, "I won't be called otherwise than a gentleman." at the same time raising his arm as if to strike. Mr. Brice, the magistrates' clerk, and some other persons intervened to prevent a further breach of the peace, and Mr. Grant was directed to leave the court. On the following day the magistrates deciding on ordering an indictment to be preferred against Mr. Grant for the assault, and in compliance with the warrant issued Mr. Grant attended on Saturday and entered into the required bail for his appearance to answer the charge."

"TACT
Tact in the management of your Judge is a good thing.  A certain well-known British Treasury counsel was driving over Blackfriars Bridge on his way to Surrey Sessions.  Noting Sir Peter Edlin trudging along in the mud and rain, he instantly stopped his hansom and offered the Judge a "lift".  It was accepted and the pair proceeded to Newington in great amnity.  Arriving, the learned counsel hurried in as he had an important application to make on the sitting of the court.  To his horror and surprise the said application was curtly refused.  He was dumbfounded as the sudden change in the demeanour of the Judge, until the usher, in a husky whisper, said :
"Do you know what you've done?!
"No!  What is it?"
"Why, you ran in and left the Judge to pay for the cab!"
