CROPP & FARR

Hatton Garden, London


Cropp and Farr, manufacturing jewelers of Hatton Garden, have won their case in the King’s Bench Division in which they sought to recover $10,000 damages from a firm of hotel proprietors in connection with the loss of a bag of jewelry at a hotel operated by the latter. The jewelry firm’s case was that their traveling representative handed the bag of sample jewelry into the safe keeping of the hotel management. The last time the bag was seen was at 6 a. m. by the night porter. The defendant company denied that the bag was entrusted to the care of the manager of its Portsmouth hotel—the Grand Central—or that there was any negligence. The court decided the bag was stolen from the hotel and that the hotel people were responsible for its safe keeping. Its loss was due to negligence on the part of the “innkeepers” or their servants. The amount of damages is to be agreed upon by both parties or, failing that, is to be fixed by an official referee. The jewelers also get costs.

SAM BLOOM

Aldersgate Street, London


Two bold youths were caught the other day while endeavoring to affect a coup at the jewelry store of Sam Bloom, Aldersgate St. It is a lock-up shop, and when a policeman saw a youth walking about the shop early in the morning in his shirt sleeves he “smelled a rat.” Another youth was walking around outside and it developed he was keeping watch. In a few minutes the place was surrounded by police. A pile of watches, pendants and lockets was found stacked on the floor ready for removal through a hole that had been cut in the ceiling, and through which a rope dangled.
