HORSTMANN'S
Bath
Three men have been remanded on charges of conspiracy to defraud after purchasing an old-fashioned jewelry shop at Bath. The prosecution says that one of the men, under the name of Louis Bravington, got in touch with the Bath jewelers who wished to retire from business. They were told that Louis Bravington was a member of the firm of Bravingtons of London, which was not so. The business changed hands, the three men posing as part owners of a large and prosperous hotel in Blackpool. Jewelry was offered for sale, it purporting to be from the former Horstmann stock. A lot of it, however, came from different parts of the country. Clocks sold to customers and supposed to have been manufactured at Bath came from Germany. The prosecution contends that the public has been defrauded and that money has been obtained by false pretense. The case will come up for trial soon. Bravingtons of London, of course, are the big firm of chain store jewelers, and the man posing as Louis Bravington is not connected with the firm at all.

JEWELLERY FIRM SALE
ALLEGED PLOT TO DEFRAUD
London, Thursday.
At Bath (Eng.) Wilfred Bravington, alias Abraham Cohen (55), Joseph Buxton (32), and Louis Buxton (29), were remanded on charges of conspiracy to defraud and attempting to obtain money by false pretences from people with intent to cheat and defraud.
Counsel for the prosecution said that Louis Buxton, in the name of Louis Bravington got into touch with Messrs. Horstmanns, of Bath, an old-established firm of jewellers, who wished to retire.
Messrs. Horstmanns inquired if the Bravingtons were connected with the well-known London firm of that name and were told that they were. This was untrue. They posed as wealthy men and part-owners of the Trocadero Hotel, Blackpool. This was also untrue.
The business changed hands. They offered jewellery for sale ,at bargain prices as being Messrs, Horstmann's stock. Much of it, however, came from all over the country.
People bought clocks supposed to have been made in Bath and found they came from Germany.

Re: The Goldsmiths of Bath
With reference to the mention of J D Harris of Bath on this thread, please may I ask if anything made by him is in any museum, or comes up for sale from time to time. He lived over the shop in 1 Wood Street, the substantial apartments over the shop being actually the end house of one of the terraces on the palatial Queen Square, number 5. He was active in the last few decades of so of the 19th century until his retirement, when he appears to have sold the premises to D R Bird. He was a leading citizen in Bath with fingers in many pies. His wife was the Victorian artist Fanny/Frances Rosenberg (of a very artistic family), and his grandson was George Kruger Gray, coin designer of the reverses of many of our predecimal coins (as well as many in the Commonealth), artist, scultor and stained glass designer. Remarkably, some of his coins are still in circulation, one design still being minted in Canada.
