A shocking case of cruelty and neglect came before the Sheriff's Criminal Court, at Edinburgh, on Monday. A working jeweller, named Thomas Bryce, and his wife, residing in South Elgin-street, pleaded guilty to neglecting to supply their four children-aged respectively three months, and three, five, and seven years with food and clothing, and reducing them to such a state of emaciation and weakness that their lives were endangered. The children, when found by the police, were in an indescribable state of filth. The prisoners were each sentenced to six months' imprisonment.

The Incorporation of Goldsmiths of Edinburgh, who hold the Glasgow records, state that the entry that accompanies this mark is "almost illegible" but transcribes it as "F[?] Ducommun[?]". They state that the sponsors location is London.
It is thought there may a connection with the below bankruptcy notice:
