23 April 1880 Extensive Jewellery Theft

At the Birmingham Police Court, on Wednesday, John LLOYD,  Albert EVANS, and Ada EVANS, were remanded for a week on a charge of stealing a  portmanteau, with £800 worth of jewellery, from a train on the London and  Northwestern Railway, between Birmingham and Liverpool, on the 21st  February. Detective BAKER said that a quantity of jewellery pledged by  the prisoners had been discovered, and information had just been received that a  large portion was at various pawnbrokers in London. The woman has been identified by several pawnbrokers, and her  husband remarked that she had “acted” under his instructions. Both men had  formerly been employed upon the railway. The jewellery belonged to Mr. CARTWRIGHT, jeweller, of  Hockley, and the robbery is believed to have been committed at Monument Lane  Station, where the money train was robbed a few weeks since.
