| Accused of theft |
- It seems likely that this prosecution refers to William James Ennever. He had been living in Millman Mews, close to Tottenham Court Road, in 1881 and he was a carman. His family had a history of criminal activity also.

378. JOSEPH RICH and ARTHUR GODDARD , Stealing a box, a tea service, a Church Service, 30l. in money, and other articles, of Louisa Mary Dodd.
MR. CANDY. Prosecuted; MR. GEOGHEGAN. Defended.
LOUISA MARY DODD . I am the wife of Mr. Dodd, of Bromley—on 2nd February I was at the University Tavern, Tottenham Court Road, and employed Mr. Ennever to remove my goods to Brockley that evening—I afterwards missed a black box containing rings, brooches, 30l. In gold in a brown purse, and other articles value 100l.—some were mine

and some not, but they were all in my care—I made inquiries and placed the matter in the hands of the police.
Cross-examined. I got to Brockley about 8 o'clock—I was going to an unfurnished house—a window was broken—I was in the house on Sunday till 11 o'clock, and then I went up to London and left the house unprotected and the window broken—I did not miss the box till Tuesday.
ELLEN SMITH . I was barmaid at the University Tavern on 2nd February—I saw a dark box with brass nails taken downstairs by the prisoner Rich, who was one of the carmen.
WILLIAM BANKS . I am a colourman at Brockley—on Saturday, 2nd February, about 8.30 p.m., I was employed with a friend at the Breakspear to unload some goods out of two vans—we finished one, and then went to the Breakspear and had some drink, and then returned and began unloading the second—the two prisoners assisted us, and Woolridge and Clark—no one was left with the van while we were drinking—when we had nearly finished unloading the second van, a box was taken out—it was about a yard from the tail of the van, and both the prisoners said that it was not to go, it was to go back—I left it where it was, and carried some more things in.
Cross-examined. Woolridge is my son-in-law; Clark is a stranger to me—Mr. Ennever was not present, leaning against the wall, when the conversation about the box took place; he was not within two or three yards of me—the potman was there, but I cannot say whether he heard it; the prisoners said it quite openly, they both spoke—the pony had been taken out of the van—the vans went away first, and we went behind them—we found the Breakspear shut up, and went to the house and got our money, and we then all went home together.
FREDERICK CLARK . I am a labourer, of Brockley—on 2nd February I was employed to unload these two vans—we finished one, and then went to the Breakspear and had some beer—the prisoners came there afterwards and Mr. Ennever, and no one was left with the vans that I know of—while the second van was being unloaded there was a box in it which the prisoners said was not to go inside, it was to go back, and one of them shoved it back into the van—I did not notice whether it was large or small.
Cross-examined. I believe he said, "That box is not to go inside yet," but he also said that it was to go back—Mr. Ennever was there when we unloaded the first van, and I believe he was there during the conversation about the box—I said at the police-court, "Mr. Ennever stood on the pavement, leaning against the wall, when the conversation took place, he was two or three yards away from me"—the potman was in and out, I am not sure whether he was there when the conversation took place.
JOHN WOOLRIDGE . I am a labourer at Brockley—on Saturday evening, 2nd February, I was employed with two other men to unload some vans—we finished one, and then went to the Breakspear and came back and began to unload the second van—I was going to take out a box and the prisoner Rich placed his hand on it and said that it was not to go, it was to go back; I left it—it was a little box covered with brown leather—Goddard was present when he said that, and could hear it, but I did not know their names; I do not know the carman who employed me—we then finished unloading the van.
Cross-examined. It was past 10 o'clock when that conversation occurred.

WILLIAM ENNEVER . I am a carman, of 31, Cherry Mews, Tottenham Court Road—on 2nd February Mrs. Dodd employed me to convey her property from Tottenham Court Road to Brockley, which I did in two vans—I accompanied them and superintended the unloading of the first—we then adjourned to the Breakspear—I employed the prisoners, and Mrs. Dodd paid them—I helped to take the property out of the second van.
Cross-examined. I have employed Rich two years, and he came to me with a 16 years' good character—the three men we met at the Breakspear were strangers.
ALEXANDER JEWELL . (Police Inspector P). On 6th February I went to Cherry Mews, Tottenham Court Road, and saw the two prisoners respecting the missing box—I examined their lodgings but found nothing—I afterwards brought them to Brockley Station in the presence of Banks and Clark—Banks said, "On Saturday last I was engaged in unloading two vans at 279, Brockley Road, and as we were taking one box out of one of the vans I was told by the carman to let it remain, as it had got to go back again, and I left it there"—Rich said, "Do you say I said so?"—he said, "Both of you"—Goddard said nothing—that is what I always do, it was a sort of rehearsal: part of my routine.
Cross-examined. I 'did that to hear what Banks had to say; he had already told me something, but Mr. Dodd was not there then, and I wished him to hear what he had already told us—I had to take it down and the prisoners had to be present—the charge had not then been taken—I had brought them from London and paid their expenses—I look to the Treasury to repay me—on my oath this was not done to get evidence.
JAMES HYDER . (Detective P). I accompanied Inspector Jewell to Cherry Mews to see the prisoners—I asked Rich if he knew anything about a box which had been stolen from Brockley—he said "There were others on the job besides me; I don't know what you mean by a box"—I said "Do you mean to say you do not known there was a box lost?"—he said "No"—I took him in custody.
Cross-examined. I took no note of what he said—he either said "on the job" or "engaged"—I believe he said "There were others engaged besides us"—I said "Don't you know there was a box lost?" not "stolen"—I was present when the prisoners were confronted with Clark and the other—it is usual before a man is taken before a Magistrate that he is confronted with the witnesses and asked to state what he has to say.
The Prisoners' Statements before the Magistrate. Rich says: "I am innocent of the charge. I know nothing of the box whatever." Goddard says: "On 2nd February I had to take two vans of furniture to Brockley. My employer was there when I unloaded them. I drew on one side and my employer and another man took the things into the house, and then they said 'We have unloaded one van; we will go and have some beer.'"
NOT GUILTY .
