Mr W H B Pain, solicitor, conducted the prosecution. Mr C Chew of No 22 Piercefield Street, Kentish Town, pianoforte maker complained that the defendant had undertaken to complete some pianos, but after partly finishing four, he had refused to complete them, and absented himself from work from the 28th of October to the 1st of November and then said he had another place. He had drawn £5 more than was due to him for the work he had done. M. Jules Gautier, another pianoforte maker said the defendant had formerly been in his service, and he had been obliged to summon him. The complainant said he had been obliged to teach another man to finish the work. He had lost £20 by the defendants delinquency. Mr Mansfield ordered the defendant to pay £15 compensation and £1 3s. costs to the complainant, and in default of payment to be imprisoned for three months. |

Note: Transcript of a report in The Times Nov 4th 1876 Page 11 Transcript of a report in The Times Nov 4th 1876 Page 11 POLICE At WORSHIP STREET, MORRIS COHEN, 48, described as a general shipper and leather merchant , living in St Peter's Road, Mile End, was charged with having received a pianoforte which had been obtained by fraud. Mr B J Abbott, solicitor, appeared for the defence. The evidence showed that on Wednesday the 1st inst., a well dressed man entered the shop of Jules Gautier, pianoforte manufacturer, carrying on business in Camden Road, and selected a pianoforte. He stated that the pianoforte was required that evening, and therefore he would send for it himself. Soon afterwards a horse and van arrived and the man in charge handed to Mr Gautier a check for the price of the piano, the check being drawn on the London and County Bank, Lombard Street Branch, and was seen to take the piano to the prisoners house. The check given was afterwards found to be a forgery. The prisoner on being apprehended said it was true this piano had been left at his house, but he did not know who had left it. He also subsequently applied to the police for advice as to what he should do with it and threatened to turn it into the street. Waller, a detective of the K Division, who took the prisoner into custody, said that he had seen the piano in the house and also three other pianos. Mr Abbott said that the piano had been left at the house in the prisoner's absence, by whom he could only guess, and he was willing to give the police any information. The other pianos mentioned had been purchased by the prisoner in the ordinary course of business, and his checks in payment for them woul be produced. Mr Bushby remanded the prisoner and on the application of Mr Abbott allowed bail - the prisoner himself in £2000 and two sureties of £1000 each. The prisoner in default was locked up. |

Note: Transcript of a report in The Times 27 Nov 1876 Page 11 Transcript of a report in The Times 27 Nov 1876 Page 11 POLICE MORRIS COHEN, 48, shipper and leather merchant ,of St. Peter's-road, Mile End, was charged on remand with receiving, with guilty knowledge, five pianos which had been obtained by false pretences and by means of forged checks. Mr Wontner prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury; Mr Besley and Mr B. J. Abbott defended. Mr Wontner, it may be remembered, stated that the prisoner was a receiver of goods obtained by an organised gang of persons known as the "Long Firm." The prisoner was originally brought before the Court on a charge of receiving a piano which had been obtained by a man representing himself as "Harris and Co.," from Mr Gautier, manufacturer, of Camden-road. "Harris and Co." gave a check for £25 in payment, and the check when presented at the London and County Bank, Lombard Street, was pronounced a forgery of the bank form. The prisoner was subsequently charged with having obtained by similar means a piano from a Mrs Hardy living in Meyrick-square, and with having obtained three pianos by means of a check for £82 odd from the Anglo-Continental Pianoforte Company, these pianos being also found at the prisoner's house. In the latter case the pianofortes were delivered by the company at a shop in Windmill-street, Finsbury, which it appeared had been taken for the day only, and which after the check was discovered to be a forgery was found shut up. The prisoner carried on business in the Minories, and there, as well as at his house in St Peter's-road, a large quantity of property was found, comprising steam gauges, bicycles, sewing-machines, frying pans, &c, and much of this property formed the subject of charges now under investigation at the Mansion-house, and concerning which three persons are in custody. Mr Wontner said the prisoner would be included in the indictment with the others. The prisoner's own books showed that he had been dealing for years with known swindlers. The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court, an application by Mr Besley for bail being referred to a Judge at Chambers. |

Note: Transcript of a report in The Times 19 May 1877 Page 13 Transcript of a report in The Times 19 May 1877 Page 13 POLICE At WORSHIP-STREET, ALFRED GLIDDON, stated to be the manager of the City Bank, Edgeware-road Branch; LEWIS LAZARUS of St. Peter's-street, Mile-end; and DAVID DANZIGER, of Tavistock-crescent, Kensal-town, appeared before Mr Bushby in obedience to summonses charging them with having conspired with other persons by unlawful and corrupt means to obstruct the due course of law and justice with intent to procure the withdrawal of certain charges of misdemeanour against Morris Cohen. Mr St. John Wontner prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury; Mr Poland and Mr Besley were for Gliddon, Mr Grain and Mr B J Abbott for Lazarus, and Mr Chapman, solicitor, for Danziger. Mr Wontner said that the man Cohen, who outwardly appeared to be carrying on the business of an exporter in Houndsditch, was in Novenber last indicted on more than one count at the Central Criminal Court for receiving a number of articles, all of great value, which had been obtained by a man named Francis, a ticket-of -leave man whose licence at that time was unexpired. The books of the defendant Cohen showed that the goods in question were obtained by Francis, and the police had taken possesssion of the books; the daughter of the prisoner Cohen must have known perfectly well that Francis would have to appear in the case. Francis, against whom a warrant was obtained, had, however, disappeared, and from the facts of the case against the present defendants, it was not unfair to suppose that Gliddon might be credited with having caused the disappearance of Francis. Cohen was originally brought before this Court on a charge of receiving a piano obtained from a Mr Gautier, by means of a fictitious check. The enquiries of the police in the matter led to discovery of the fact that Cohen had an account at the City Bank, Aldgate Branch, of whcih Gliddon was at that time the manager. Cohen was released on bail when his case first came before the Court, and while the police were making enquiries about the matter, and every day discovering that there were other cases against Cohen, the dfendants Gliddon and Lazarus were found visiting Mr Gautier's shop and offering, if he would withdraw from the charge, to pay him the price of the piano and all expenses to which he had been put. This, Mr Wontner in some detail said, had been done on several occasions, Mr Gliddon going to visit Mr Gautier in the intervals of remands in the face of the facts. By the publicity given and from his being present in court he must have known that the solicitor to the Treasury had been instructed to take up the prosecution, that on each remand fresh charges were being brought against the man Cohen, and that he was stated to be about to be indicted with persons who had been apprehended on warrants and against whom numerous charges of obtaining goods had been preferred. Mr Wontner did not wish to say anything against persons whose position, like that of Mr Gliddon or Mr Lazarus, was so respectable; but whatever their motives, whether they were actuated by more than friendship for the man Cohen or from interest, it was certain that they did commit themselves to an illegal agreement and combine in point of law, and as such had beeen guilty not only of an attempt to compromise a misdemeanour , but of a conspiracy in the terms set out in the charge. |

Mr St. John Wontner appeared for the prosecution on behalf of the Government; Mr Poland and Mr Besley defended Gliddon; Mr Grain and Mr B J Abbott defended Lazarus; and Mr Lee, solicitor, defended Zanziger(sic). Jules Gautier, pianoforte -maker, 62, Camden-road, said that on 1st of November, while he was away from home, a person who called himself Harris called there. There was then a piano in the shop. On his return the piano was gone, and a check signed "Harris and Co.," the address given being London-wall, was handed to him by his wife. Witness found also that his son was out watching the parties in possession of the piano, and he himself watched a house in St. Peter's-street, Mile-end, and saw a man whom he afterwards knew as Cohen. Later, on the 2nd, witness having presented the check, which was dishonoured, gave Cohen into custody for receiving the piano. He was charged before this Court on the following day and remanded until the 10th. On the night of the 9th witness heard from his wife that some persons had been there to see him. On entering the warehouse he saw the defendant Lazarus, who said,"Mr Gautier, I am come here on behalf of Mr Cohen, who is a friend of mine. I am sorry he has got into this trouble, and I can assure you he is a very honest and upright man." and witness replied,"You may say what you like about his honesty, but if my son had not followed the van I should have lost my piano." Witness told him that he was satisfied that both Lazarus and the friend who had come with him had only come for the direct purpose of compounding a felony. Lazarus refused to give him his name and address. The next morning, while witness was waiting in the neighbourhood of this court for the case of Cohen to be called on, the defendant Gliddon accosted him, and said that he wished to speak to him on behalf of Cohen. Witness asked Gliddon if he had called at his house the day before, and on his replying that he had, witness referred him to his solicitor, who was standing by. Gliddon then began to tell the solicitor that Cohen was a highly respectable man, that there were a number of City merchants ready to testify to his character, and that another charge made by the Anglo-Continental Pianoforte Company had been withdrawn in consequence. Witness's solicitor asked Gliddon what they wished done, and he replied,"Let him keep away. Do not let him appear at all." Witness's solicitor declined to advise that. Glidden said they would get Cohen remanded from week to week and then, as witness was left alone his case would fall to the ground. Witness's solicitor said they could make an application to allow the charge to be withdrawn. Gliddon said that would do. He did not want to do anything irregular. Then he walked away. In court witness heard an application made on behalf of Cohen to allow the case to be withdrawn, it being stated that the prosecutor desired it. That was not true. The police preferred another charge, and eventually the magistrate refused to allow the charge to be withdrawn. On the following Thursday the defendant Gliddon, with a Miss Cohen came to witness, the object of their visit being to get witness to go to Judges' Chambers and consent to Cohen being let out on bail. |

Transcript of a report in the Times 19 Nov 1872 Page 9 POLICE Robert Matthews appeared before Mr Mansfield in answer to a summons charging him with neglect to fulfill a contract. Mr W H B Pain, solicitor, conducted the prosecution. Mr C Chew of No 22 Piercefield Street, Kentish Town, pianoforte maker complained that the defendant had undertaken to complete some pianos, but after partly finishing four, he had refused to complete them, and absented himself from work from the 28th of October to the 1st of November and then said he had another place. He had drawn £5 more than was due to him for the work he had done. M. Jules Gautier, another pianoforte maker said the defendant had formerly been in his service, and he had been obliged to summon him. The complainant said he had been obliged to teach another man to finish the work. He had lost £20 by the defendants delinquency. Mr Mansfield ordered the defendant to pay £15 compensation and £1 3s. costs to the complainant, and in default of payment to be imprisoned for three months. |

Transcript of a report in The Times Nov 4th 1876 Page 11 POLICE At WORSHIP STREET, MORRIS COHEN, 48, described as a general shipper and leather merchant , living in St Peter's Road, Mile End, was charged with having received a pianoforte which had been obtained by fraud. Mr B J Abbott, solicitor, appeared for the defence. The evidence showed that on Wednesday the 1st inst., a well dressed man entered the shop of Jules Gautier, pianoforte manufacturer, carrying on business in Camden Road, and selected a pianoforte. He stated that the pianoforte was required that evening, and therefore he would send for it himself. Soon afterwards a horse and van arrived and the man in charge handed to Mr Gautier a check for the price of the piano, the check being drawn on the London and County Bank, Lombard Street Branch, and was seen to take the piano to the prisoners house. The check given was afterwards found to be a forgery. The prisoner on being apprehended said it was true this piano had been left at his house, but he did not know who had left it. He also subsequently applied to the police for advice as to what he should do with it and threatened to turn it into the street. Waller, a detective of the K Division, who took the prisoner into custody, said that he had seen the piano in the house and also three other pianos. Mr Abbott said that the piano had been left at the house in the prisoner's absence, by whom he could only guess, and he was willing to give the police any information. The other pianos mentioned had been purchased by the prisoner in the ordinary course of business, and his checks in payment for them woul be produced. Mr Bushby remanded the prisoner and on the application of Mr Abbott allowed bail - the prisoner himself in £2000 and two sureties of £1000 each. The prisoner in default was locked up. |

Transcript of a report in The Times 27 Nov 1876 Page 11 POLICE MORRIS COHEN, 48, shipper and leather merchant ,of St. Peter's-road, Mile End, was charged on remand with receiving, with guilty knowledge, five pianos which had been obtained by false pretences and by means of forged checks. Mr Wontner prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury; Mr Besley and Mr B. J. Abbott defended. Mr Wontner, it may be remembered, stated that the prisoner was a receiver of goods obtained by an organised gang of persons known as the "Long Firm." The prisoner was originally brought before the Court on a charge of receiving a piano which had been obtained by a man representing himself as "Harris and Co.," from Mr Gautier, manufacturer, of Camden-road. "Harris and Co." gave a check for £25 in payment, and the check when presented at the London and County Bank, Lombard Street, was pronounced a forgery of the bank form. The prisoner was subsequently charged with having obtained by similar means a piano from a Mrs Hardy living in Meyrick-square, and with having obtained three pianos by means of a check for £82 odd from the Anglo-Continental Pianoforte Company, these pianos being also found at the prisoner's house. In the latter case the pianofortes were delivered by the company at a shop in Windmill-street, Finsbury, which it appeared had been taken for the day only, and which after the check was discovered to be a forgery was found shut up. The prisoner carried on business in the Minories, and there, as well as at his house in St Peter's-road, a large quantity of property was found, comprising steam gauges, bicycles, sewing-machines, frying pans, &c, and much of this property formed the subject of charges now under investigation at the Mansion-house, and concerning which three persons are in custody. Mr Wontner said the prisoner would be included in the indictment with the others. The prisoner's own books showed that he had been dealing for years with known swindlers. The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court, an application by Mr Besley for bail being referred to a Judge at Chambers. |

Transcript of a report in The Times 19 May 1877 Page 13 POLICE At WORSHIP-STREET, ALFRED GLIDDON, stated to be the manager of the City Bank, Edgeware-road Branch; LEWIS LAZARUS of St. Peter's-street, Mile-end; and DAVID DANZIGER, of Tavistock-crescent, Kensal-town, appeared before Mr Bushby in obedience to summonses charging them with having conspired with other persons by unlawful and corrupt means to obstruct the due course of law and justice with intent to procure the withdrawal of certain charges of misdemeanour against Morris Cohen. Mr St. John Wontner prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury; Mr Poland and Mr Besley were for Gliddon, Mr Grain and Mr B J Abbott for Lazarus, and Mr Chapman, solicitor, for Danziger. Mr Wontner said that the man Cohen, who outwardly appeared to be carrying on the business of an exporter in Houndsditch, was in Novenber last indicted on more than one count at the Central Criminal Court for receiving a number of articles, all of great value, which had been obtained by a man named Francis, a ticket-of -leave man whose licence at that time was unexpired. The books of the defendant Cohen showed that the goods in question were obtained by Francis, and the police had taken possesssion of the books; the daughter of the prisoner Cohen must have known perfectly well that Francis would have to appear in the case. Francis, against whom a warrant was obtained, had, however, disappeared, and from the facts of the case against the present defendants, it was not unfair to suppose that Gliddon might be credited with having caused the disappearance of Francis. Cohen was originally brought before this Court on a charge of receiving a piano obtained from a Mr Gautier, by means of a fictitious check. The enquiries of the police in the matter led to discovery of the fact that Cohen had an account at the City Bank, Aldgate Branch, of whcih Gliddon was at that time the manager. Cohen was released on bail when his case first came before the Court, and while the police were making enquiries about the matter, and every day discovering that there were other cases against Cohen, the dfendants Gliddon and Lazarus were found visiting Mr Gautier's shop and offering, if he would withdraw from the charge, to pay him the price of the piano and all expenses to which he had been put. This, Mr Wontner in some detail said, had been done on several occasions, Mr Gliddon going to visit Mr Gautier in the intervals of remands in the face of the facts. By the publicity given and from his being present in court he must have known that the solicitor to the Treasury had been instructed to take up the prosecution, that on each remand fresh charges were being brought against the man Cohen, and that he was stated to be about to be indicted with persons who had been apprehended on warrants and against whom numerous charges of obtaining goods had been preferred. Mr Wontner did not wish to say anything against persons whose position, like that of Mr Gliddon or Mr Lazarus, was so respectable; but whatever their motives, whether they were actuated by more than friendship for the man Cohen or from interest, it was certain that they did commit themselves to an illegal agreement and combine in point of law, and as such had beeen guilty not only of an attempt to compromise a misdemeanour , but of a conspiracy in the terms set out in the charge. |

Transcript of a report in The Times 25 May 1877 Page 11 POLICE At WORSHIP-STREET, ALFRED GLIDDON, manager of the City Bank, Edgeware-road Branch; LEWIS LAZARUS, traveller, and DAVID ZANZIGER(sic), traveller, appeared to adjourned summonses charging them with having in November last consoired to defeat by corrupt means the due course of law and justice and to procure the withdrawal of certain charges of misdemeanour against one Morris Cohen, a prisoner then under trial, and to procure his discharge from custody. Mr St. John Wontner appeared for the prosecution on behalf of the Government; Mr Poland and Mr Besley defended Gliddon; Mr Grain and Mr B J Abbott defended Lazarus; and Mr Lee, solicitor, defended Zanziger(sic). Jules Gautier, pianoforte -maker, 62, Camden-road, said that on 1st of November, while he was away from home, a person who called himself Harris called there. There was then a piano in the shop. On his return the piano was gone, and a check signed "Harris and Co.," the address given being London-wall, was handed to him by his wife. Witness found also that his son was out watching the parties in possession of the piano, and he himself watched a house in St. Peter's-street, Mile-end, and saw a man whom he afterwards knew as Cohen. Later, on the 2nd, witness having presented the check, which was dishonoured, gave Cohen into custody for receiving the piano. He was charged before this Court on the following day and remanded until the 10th. On the night of the 9th witness heard from his wife that some persons had been there to see him. On entering the warehouse he saw the defendant Lazarus, who said,"Mr Gautier, I am come here on behalf of Mr Cohen, who is a friend of mine. I am sorry he has got into this trouble, and I can assure you he is a very honest and upright man." and witness replied,"You may say what you like about his honesty, but if my son had not followed the van I should have lost my piano." Witness told him that he was satisfied that both Lazarus and the friend who had come with him had only come for the direct purpose of compounding a felony. Lazarus refused to give him his name and address. The next morning, while witness was waiting in the neighbourhood of this court for the case of Cohen to be called on, the defendant Gliddon accosted him, and said that he wished to speak to him on behalf of Cohen. Witness asked Gliddon if he had called at his house the day before, and on his replying that he had, witness referred him to his solicitor, who was standing by. Gliddon then began to tell the solicitor that Cohen was a highly respectable man, that there were a number of City merchants ready to testify to his character, and that another charge made by the Anglo-Continental Pianoforte Company had been withdrawn in consequence. Witness's solicitor asked Gliddon what they wished done, and he replied,"Let him keep away. Do not let him appear at all." Witness's solicitor declined to advise that. Glidden said they would get Cohen remanded from week to week and then, as witness was left alone his case would fall to the ground. Witness's solicitor said they could make an application to allow the charge to be withdrawn. Gliddon said that would do. He did not want to do anything irregular. Then he walked away. In court witness heard an application made on behalf of Cohen to allow the case to be withdrawn, it being stated that the prosecutor desired it. That was not true. The police preferred another charge, and eventually the magistrate refused to allow the charge to be withdrawn. On the following Thursday the defendant Gliddon, with a Miss Cohen came to witness, the object of their visit being to get witness to go to Judges' Chambers and consent to Cohen being let out on bail. |

Born in Caen which is in the Calvados department of Normandy, France. The incomplete translated transcript below is from the record of his birth provided by the Directeur des Archives Departmentales de Calvados. "On the 16th day of November 1830 at 10.00am the birth was certified of Jules Amand Eugene Gautier born yesterday at 9.00am son of Francois Gautier employed in the Mail Coach Service age 35 years 7 months and of Rose Eugénie Carpentier aged 27 years 7 months married and living in this town at 71 Rue St. Jean. The sex of the child is recognized as masculine by first Amand Jean Baptiste le Chartier, hotel keeper aged 54 living at 73 Rue de St. Jean, Caen. Second, Lemaire Francois stagecoach postman, aged 30 living in this town (address obscure). Upon the requisition to us made by the father of the child, was signed after reading. GautierLe ChartierLémaire Certified by Abel Leopold Frederic le Creps, deputy mayor acting as register official. Abel le Creps" He arrived in England in 1850. His first recorded occupation was as a French Polisher which appears on the the birth certificate of his first born. In 1866 he established a Wholesale Pianoforte factory at the Grovedale Road Piano Works. He had another works at Duncombe Road nearby. These roads are not far from Archway Tube Station but the two works no longer exist. The area has been extensively redeveloped for council housing. In 1876 he had a pianoforte shop and warehouse at Camden Road. During November he was involved in a court case against one Morris Cohen. Mr Cohen had received a piano bought from Jules' piano shop by a man calling himself Hart and using a cheque which turned out to be fraudulent. His wife Pauline had been supicious of Hart, and had their son Louis follow the van which collected the piano to see where it was taken. This action to protect their livelihood opened up a very large can of worms. Police investigating Cohen's premises found another four pianos along with a plethora of other goods. One of the four pianos had been fraudulently obtained from a widow, Mrs Hardy, using a similar ploy. The other three had originally been delivered by the Anglo-Continental Pianoforte Company to a shop which, it turned out, had only been rented for a day. Again a fraudulent cheque had been used. Police investigated more deeply, and the case turned in to a major one involving a gang called the "Long Firm". This labrynthine case went on for some months, was widely reported in the press, and resulted in over a dozen men being convicted of various fraudulent offences. This included three men who had repeatly visited Jules' premises and the home of Mrs Hardy. These three, along with Cohen's daughter, had vigourously, but without success, attempted to pervert the course of justice by trying to persuade the witnesses Jules, Pauline, Louis and Mrs Hardy not to appear in court against Cohen, saying all their costs would be covered. Cohen was convicted of receiving and was sentenced to 10 years penal servitude. On 27 July 1906, at the age of 76, he moved from 65 Bolsover Street, Regents Park, London to the French Convalescent Home in Brighton. The register of this establishment records him as being a Roman Catholic and having 5 children and a sister in Paris also with 5 children, one a girl. He stayed at the French Convalescent Home (Click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Convalescent_Home,_Brighton for more information) until 14 July 1913 when, suffering from "derangement cerebral", he was moved to the workhouse for 5 days and then to the Brighton County Borough Asylum, Wivelsfield. He died there in March the following year from Pneumonia and Arterio-Sclerosis.
