ERNEST HYDE & Co.

Vittoria Street, Birmingham


Although several old firms have closed their trade during the last few months, their signs taken away and their places know them no more, yet this has not in any way lessened the competition, as several new ones have come to light or opened new branches just to keep up the balance of affairs. One of these is Messrs. Ernest Hyde & Co., diamond mounters, Vittoria Street, Birmingham, a branch of Messrs. Hyde & Sons, Warstone Lane; they have just put down a staff of about twenty pairs of hands and are open for orders in any branch of diamond mounting.

F. SAXELBY

Birmingham


Yet another lecture by a local jeweler — again at the New Church Guild. On March 15th, Mr. F. Saxelby was lecturing on "Glimpses of Elizabethan London," illustrated with limelight views of the places described. Mr. Saxelby is an excellent Shakespearean scholar, and was thus enabled to throw a realistic light on the scenes and places in London during the time of Elizabeth.

CHRISTOPHER HEALEY

Birmingham


The five men accused of complicity in the burglary and outrage at Birmingham were brought before the Magistrates on Wednesday. Three of them, against whom there was no evidence, were at once set at liberty. The other two were Christopher Healey and Joseph Marshall. Though still very weak, Mr. Marston was able to attend and state his belief that Marshall was the person who attacked him with the poker, and that Healey attacked him with some other weapon. Healey is Mr. Marston’ s nephew, and is a working jeweller; Mr. Marston had not seen him for years, except a glance a few days before the outrage, when he was in Mr. Marston’s yard, — a yard, apparently, let off to a stable-keeper. The men who attacked him appeared to have their faces coloured. Ann Thompson, Mr. Marston’ s servant, spoke to having seen a man who resembled Healey in her master’s yard some days before the robbery. Evidence was given which went far to prove that the hat left, behind by the burglars belonged to Healey. The Magistrates were about to commit the two men for trial, without allowing bail ; but the Police requested a remand, that more evidence might be given ; and this was acceded to.
