LLEWELLYN RICHARDS
Bute Road, Cardiff
Alleged Theft of a Watch at Cardiff.–At Cardiff Police Court last month, Llewellyn Richards, who carried on business as a watchmaker in Bute Road, Cardiff, was committed for trial at the quarter session on the charge of stealing a gold watch, of the value of £20, belonging to Harriet Morgan, and which was entrusted to him to repair last November. The police found the watch pledged at the shop of Mr. Shibko, pawnbroker, Roath, where, it was alleged, the prisoner had pledged it for £5.

AUGUST WERNET
Commercial Street, Newport
Loss of One Hundred and Fifty Nuptial Bands
Mr. Wernet, a Newport jeweler, recently discovered that at sometime or other,probably within a week, he had lost a tray of 150 wedding rings. As he neither knew when, where, or how the loss occurred, and wedding rings have such a bullion value, and nothing much to distinguish them, we fear the robbery is not likely to be traced.
Source: The Watchmaker, Jeweller and Silversmith - 1st December 1893
Loss of 150 Wedding Rings
The confederate trick was successfully worked upon August Wernet, Commercial-street, Newport, in November last, by a man and woman who professed to require a number of articles, and even selected some to be sent to a butcher in the town. The woman having got rid of the assistant, decoyed August Wernet outside, and in the meantime someone entered and stole the 150 nuptial bands. Some evidence has leaked out - which the prisoners regard as the outcome of a grudge of someone who has rounded on them–which has resulted in the apprehension in London of Henry Price, nineteen, a tipster, and his wife, who have been committed for trial.
Source: The Watchmaker, Jeweller and Silversmith - 1st February 1894
Sequel to the Newport Ring Robbery
It will be remembered that recently there was a charge of ring stealing at Newport, where a man, Price, and his new wife were traced to London, but unfortunately got off. They have since been arrested in Wales and taken to Newcastle. During the journey the female made her escape to Birmingham and has since been taken in London. The man has been sentenced to three years' penal servitude for a jewel robbery from the shop of Mr. Wilson, a jeweler, of Grey-street, Newcastle. Their method of work was for the woman to engage the attention of the assistant, either inside or outside, and then for the man to come in for some trifling thing, and take the opportunity of seizing the valuables. In the case at Grey-street, 36 rings, valued at, £200, were stolen. Price, although only 19 years of age, had been previously convicted.

WILLIAM VAUGHAN
Commercial Street, Newport
THE NEWPORT JEWELLERY ROBBERY
Nothing further has been heard about the movements of the ship's captain who walked out of the shop of Mr. William Vaughan, jeweller, Newport, on Saturday, December 17, with over £200 worth of rings and other jewellery. An ample description of the man, however, has been given to the police by the attendant in the shop of Mr. Rainforth, jeweller, where the gentleman called earlier in the evening and evidently intended to bring off similar business by the same kind of tactics. He saw some gold watches and afterwards some rings, but the attendant got suspicious and the captain had no opportunities given him.
Source: Evening Express - 27th December 1892
Presentation to Mr. Matthew Johns, May 20th, 1865. On Thursday, a soiree, in connection with the Newport Athenaeum was given at the Town Hall Assembly Rooms, and which was mainly intended to celebrate the presentation of a testimonial to Mr. M. Johns, late secretary of the Institution, and who, from inevitable causes, had been reluctantly compelled to resign his office, which he had filled for nine years. Mr. Johns had been an efficient and devoted servant of the Athenaeum, and a widespread appreciation of his services was evidenced by the promptness with which, by the members of the Institute, subscriptions were offered on the intention of the directors to convey to him some mark of respect being known. Nearly £30 was subscribed, and the amount was expended in the purchase of an elegant English gold consular three-quarter plate lever watch, with expansive balance, jewelled in six holes, and a gold albert with drop chain. The value of the watch and chain was £28, and they were supplied by Mr. Vaughan, jeweller, Commercial Street. The watch bore the following inscription :–" Presented to Mr. Matthew Johns, by the members of the Newport Athenaeum on his retirement from the office of secretary, the duties of which he has faithfully discharged for nine years, May 18th, 1865."

EVANS
Abergavenny
In the City of London Court, before Mr. Commissioner Kerr, last month, Mr. James Francis Kendal (trading as Kendal & Dent), watch manufacturer, of 106, Cheapside, E.C., brought an action against a Mr. Evans of Abergavenny, to recover the sum of £17 odd, balance of an account of £195 11s. 6d. The plaintiff's representative said that the plaintiff had watch clubs formed all over the country, and well-known tradesmen carried them on, receiving payment for so many watches sold. The defendant had for some months had watches sent to him and repairs executed to watches to the value of £195 11s. 6d., all of which he had accounted for except £17, for which he was sued. The defence was that defendant only acted as an agent, that the clubs were rather risky, and that the defendant had sent all the money lie had received. The Commissioner, after eliciting that the defendant was paid by commission, decided in his favour, but said the plaintiff could have a jury if he wished.
