I have a particular reason for asking if anyone has ever seen mention of or has any info on an alleged sculptor named as Francois Kozminski who appeared in court in 1884. The only mention I can find of him is below. Any info would be very welcome - thanks in advance.

ROBBERY BY A POLISH SCULPTOR
Francois Kozminski, described as a sculptor, no home, a native of Poland, was charged with stealing a rug, the property of Messrs. Jackson and Graham, upholsterers, Oxford Street.
Mr. Albert interpreted.
Robert Merry, watchman, in the employ of the prosecutors, said that while in Perry's Place, Oxford Street, that morning he saw the prisoner with a rug, the property of the prosecutors, in his possession, and, on asking where he got it from, he made off, but was speedily caught.
Serjeant Buckley, 9C, stated that, perceiving the prisoner running, he took him into custody. On him he found a jar of milk &c.
The prisoner said he had only been three days in London.
Mr. Newton fined him 20s. or 14 days'.
There is reason to believe that the prisoner had been some time in London.
