Lord C. Beresford’s Fur Coat
An elderly man named Charles Morris a dealer address refused, was charged with stealing a buffalo skin motor coat, value£40., the property of Lord Charles Beresford.
Albert George Lee, his lordship’s chauffeur, deposed that on Saturday night, he left Lord Charles’s motor in charge of a small boy at Shawfield Street, King’s road Chelsea. The witness with permission, had been wearing Lord Charles’s fur coat and the garment was left in the car. After an interval of ten minutes the witness returned to the vehicle and missed the coat.
Detective-sergeant Moore said from inquiries he made he called on Wednesday at the house kept by a dealer at Camera Square, Chelsea. (John Bond a dog dealer of 31 Camera Square.) He found the missing coat there in a sack and ascertained that the prisoner on the day previous had offered it for sale. The dealer declined to purchase but allowed it to remain on his premises at the request of the accused.
The prisoner’s account of the transaction was that he obtained the coat to sell from a man he knew as “Sam.” Mr Horace Smith in remanding him said he had better call this person as a witness.
NOTE: Camera Square, was off the North side of Beaufort Street, it was thought to be a bit of a slum, and was demolished after the Great War. We had at one time relatives who lived in Camera Square.

Mr. Melville who prosecuted said, that on the evening on the 22nd of March, a constable on duty in Holland Park Avenue signalled the defendant, who was driving a car from the direction of Shepherd’s Bush, to stop. Thinking he was slowing down the constable beckoned another car out of Clarendon Road. The defendant, however, did not stop, but passed the officer and collided with the other car. Afterwards he explained that he had not seen the signal. Mr. Pierron for the defendant said, it was true the defendant did not see the constable’s arm, but he slowed down on the approaching the junction as a measure of precaution.
