At Cardiff Police-court on Friday (before Dr. Paine and Mr. Ebenezer Beavan) John Black, a promising youth of sixteen, who is a member of the Cardiff "Shoeblack Brigade, was charged, iinaer-a wwmnt-witli stealing a -suit of clothes, a .watch and chain, a shirt, and t2 7s. in money, the property of Mr. William George Cadby, the police-court missionary. Prisoner was the first member enrolled*by Mr. Cadby in the recently formed shoeblack brigade, which now has its head- quarters in Moira-terrace. Mr. Cadby, before 'admitting prisoner into'this establishment, .paid for his lodgings for a fortnight elsewhere in the town, and he now told the bench that he had alyshad a high opinion of the lad. He believed this was his first offence, and from certain books which he had dis- covered of the "Jack Shepherd" type he feared that prisoner's mind hadbeenpottuted by pernicious literature. Whether that was so 'or not, prisoner showed so little gratitude for the missionary's kindnef;s,tliat he did not scruple 'to steal and decamp to London with his watch. 'and chain and the ther property in question. The Metropolitan police were quickly on 'S°e; ,k t:hr::a c;ï b:e3U¡iy o:r t. Detective DaveY,-risonernow pleaded guilty and the prosecutor still had sufficient interest in him to recommend him to the leniency of the magistrates, who passed.sentence.of one month's imprisonment.
