At Chepstow Police-court, on the 18th ult., Charles Woodhouse Sheppard, clerk in holy orders, late of Caldicot, was brought up on remand, upon a number of indictments, for obtaining goods and money under false pretences, including a charge of that being bailee of a diamond ring, a gold watch and gold chain, the property of Nugent Wells, jeweler, of Newport, he did unlawfully appropriate them to his own use by pawning them. Nugent Wells, jeweler, trading as Nugent Wells and Son, deposed that on June 1st he received a letter from defendant, in consequence of which he went to Caldicot with a selection of jewelry, from which defendant selected certain articles, defendant telling him that he was going to marry Miss Micklethwaite in September. Shortly afterwards he returned two of the rings; another had since been returned, but the fourth ring, a half-hoop diamond valued at £30, had not been returned. On the 13th of June, in consequence of a telegram, he sent defendant, among other things, two small gold chains and a set of gold studs and sleeve links, which he had returned, except one of the chains, valued at about 55s., and the studs. On the 24th June defendant went to his shop and stated that he wanted some gold watches for Miss Micklethwaite to see, and he selected three and took them away. He kept one valued at £11 and returned two, which he subsequently pawned. Malyn Sheppard, gentleman, of South Haven, Weston-super-Mare, father of the accused, stated the pretensions to property made by the defendant were false, and he had no income of his own, except what was given him voluntarily by his mother, and what fees he occasionally got by officiating as a clergyman. His (witness's) wife allowed prisoner voluntarily £200 a year at least, and he himself had several times during the last eight years paid debts for him to the amount of at least £2,000. He was committed for trial.

Fortunately it turned out the man was not in his senses, and the watch was recovered ; but it would have been just as easy for a thief to have done it.

Mr. H. B. Crouch, an enterprising jeweler, of St. Mary Street, Cardiff, displayed a very effective device on the day of the funeral of the late Duke of Clarence. It consisted of a shield of black satin, on which was executed in white a ducal coronet, with the monogram " A.V.," and "In memoriam," surrounded with white chrysanthemums and ferns interspersed with crape and white satin rosettes. Beneath this were some apt lines. At the side entrance to the shop was an excellent life-like steel engraving of the late duke, encircled by a magnificent wreath of choice flowers and ferns, and from the roof hung the Union Jack half-mast high, with the pole draped in crape.

Nott Square, Carmarthen
Selling- Silver Plate without a Licence
At the Carmarthen borough sessions, on the 13th ult, Henry James Williams, watchmaker, Nott-square, was summoned by Charles Whiteoak, Inland Revenue officer, for dealing in plate without a licence. The Inland Revenue officer at St. Clear's said that he went to the shop on February 4th, and asked the defendant's son, who was in charge of the shop owing to his father's illness, for a silver albert. He replied that there were none in the shop, but that if he called later on he would have one for him from a jeweler's traveller, who was then in the town. He subsequently returned, and purchased a silver albert, which was about 5dwt. in weight, and was marked with the plain retail price of 24s. – Mr. Whiteoak, Inland Revenue officer at Carmarthen, said that the chain weighed 2oz. 6dwt. The defendant's son denied that he told the last witness he would get the albert from the traveller. He had bought it recently from his uncle's jewelry shop in Lammas-street, and he also denied that there , were any silver watches or alberts for sale in the shop. The Bench retired to consider their verdict, and, on returning, said that they had found the case proved, and had decided to fine the defendant £3, including costs. The Mayor said that he did not agree with the decision.

A Boy Robs a Watch Job Case
On the 8th ult. the shop of J. J. Reese, Portmadoc, received a visit from a boy of twelve summers, at a time when the attendant had retired into the kitchen. While the latter was in the vicinity of the larder he heard someone in the shop, and going thither saw a lad standing at the door, whom he asked what he wanted. "A penny watch" being the reply, a curt answer of " We don't sell them" was considered to end the case. Subsequently, however, it was discovered that a watch had been taken from the job case. Ultimately the boy was caught offering the watch for sale, and was sentenced to fourteen days' hard labor, and four years in a reformatory.
