| Alternative place of birth (1921 England Census): Mile End, London. From The North Devon Gazette of 20 June 1899: "A SOLICITOR'S ACTION In the Queen's Bench Division, before Mr. Justice Grantham, on Saturday, the action of Dobbs against Chrimes and others was heard. The plaintiff was a solicitor in Queen Victoria-street, and he had been employed to defend three persons named Chrimes, charged with blackmailing, at the Central Court, a case which was the last one tried before Mr. Justice Hawkins, now Lord Brampton. He now sued to recover the balance of his costs from Mr. Arthur Joseph Chrimes, who was one of the persons tried. Mr. Waddy was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hexstall for the defendant. - Mr. Waddy, in opening the case, said that Mr. French, a brother-in-law of the Chrimes, introduced the matter to the plaintiff; but the retainer was signed by the three prisoners, though Mr. Arthur Joseph Chrimes paid an instalment of £25 on account of the cost, and Mr. French represented that Mr. A.J. Chrimes wouild pay all. - Mr. Justice Grantham said that Mr. A.J. Chrimes could not be made liable unless it was shewn that Mr. French was an agent for him. - Mr. Waddy: If agency could not be inferred from the facts of the case then he could not prove it. - The judgement was for the defendant, with costs." Arthur Joseph was not "one of the persons tried" but it seems that he went some way towards funding a defence for his three brothers. In 1911 Arthur Joseph was still single, aged 48, living with his sister Catherine and her husband. In 1921 Arthur Joseph was employed by London County Council L.C.C. School Sussex Road, Brixton. In 1939 Arthur Joseph, still single, was living in a boarding house. |
