Notes:

Case of mistaken identity; Beck was tried in the Old Bailey for larceny, in 1896, convicted, served five years in prison, was again indicted and convicted in 1904, sentence was suspended and a court of inquiry appointed, which reported that all charges against Beck in both trials were absolutely without foundation
