Occasional Court
A Smart Capture
At an Occasional Court, presided over by Capt. H.H. Williams, on Tuesday, three Shoreditch men, Frank Anderson (21), Richard Jones (19), and John Sullivan (19), all of Beaconsfield Road, Shoreditch, were remanded in custody until today (Friday) for stealing five pairs of motor goggles, value 2/- each, the property of the Herts County Council.
Sergt. Dean stated that on Monday, 31st May, he was on duty when he received information that five pairs of motor goggles had been stolen between Buntingford and Standon. He went towards Standon, and saw three men lying on the grass.
He told them he was a police officer, and that he was making enquiries about some stolen goggles. He started to search the defendants, when Anderson produced three pairs of goggles, two other pairs being found on Sullivan by P.C. Gillett. The defendants stated that goggles were given them by a man.
Supt. Wright asked for a remand until Friday, and this was granted, as stated. One of the defendants refused to have his finger prints taken, and the Supt. made application to the Chairman for a request to be made to the Governor of Brixton Prison for the finger prints to be taken. The application was granted.
