Re: The English Provincial Trade - East Anglia
J. GREENHOW
High Street, Chelmsford
A singular tale has come to light within the last few days. Some nights ago the shop of Mr. Greenhow, jeweller and silversmith, in High-street, Chelmsford, was broken into and plundered of a considerable portion of its contents. When Mr. Greenhow came down stairs at six o’clock in the morning, he found that the premises had been entered in the night, and that the inner shop door had been left open. His wife immediately proceeded to the railway station, with the intention of sending a telegraphic message to the police at Scotland-yard, London; but, finding the telegraph-office closed, she waited there while she despatched a boy for the telegraph official. After some time, a rather suspicious looking man entered the office, and asked a youth there for a bag which he left him for safety early that morning. A large travelling-bag was handed to the stranger, and being very ponderous, Mrs. Greenhow was led to suspect that the bag contained the property which had been stolen from her husband's premises the night before. On receiving the bag, the man carelessly placed it on a bench, and sauntered leisurely about the station ; but Mrs. Greenhow called a policeman, and gave him in charge. The bag was then opened, and found to contain the whole of Mr. Greenhow’s stolen property, which included an immense quantity of plate, jewellery, brooches, rings, watches, and numerous other articles, amounting altogether to nearly 600l. in value.
The most singular part of the story, however, remains to be told. A short time previous to the Chelmsford robbery, the houses of two gentlemen living at Clapham Rye were broken into, and robbed of a great deal of plate, jewellery, and other property. The police made enquires, and soon leant that certain articles of the stolen goods had been pledged at several different pawnbrokers’ shops in the City, by a young woman, a foreigner. They could not, however, gain any further information respecting her than that she was of rather stylish appearance, and could scarcely speak English. When the man was apprehended at Chelmsford on the charge of breaking into Mr. Greenhow’s premises, Mr. Superintendent May, of the Chelmsford police, came up to London, and put himself in communication with Inspector Wicher, of the metropolitan detective force. The latter, assisted by a police-sergeant, made inquiries after the woman, and at length ascertained that for the last nine months she had been living with the man in custody at Chelmsford, at a house in the Borough-market. The officers accordingly went there and saw the woman, who at first denied all knowledge of the male prisoner; but, being apprehended and taken to the residence of one of the gentlemen who had been robbed at Clapham, and who identified a gold seal, found at her lodgings among a variety of other valuable stolen articles, she confessed that a quantity of jewellery and plate had been given to her by the prisoner at Chelmsford, and that she had pawned the goods in the City. She was examined before the Wandsworth magistrate last Saturday, and remanded.
The man is a Dutchman, whose real name is Van Popler; but he has been living some time in England under the assumed names of Davis and Phillips. He is a notorious thief, having been tried for burglary three years ago at Maidstone, together with his father, mother, wile, and brother. He was then sentenced to four years’ penal servitude, but was released last year, when he must again have had recourse to his old mode of life. He will be tried for the Chelmsford burglary at the next Assizes, and, should he be acquitted on that charge, will be apprehended on the Clapham robberies.

At Stamford in Lincolnshire the other afternoon a young man seized a broom left outside a jewelry store by an assistant for snow sweeping, smashed the plate glass and started sweeping silver teapots, cruets, vases and jewelry off the display stands into the street. Shoppers and workmen nearby grappled with him and took the broom away, afterwards escorting him to the police station. In court he got three months’ hard labor. Some 24 previous convictions were proved against him.
