Temple Cloud Police Court
Before Messrs. S. S. P. Samborne and H. E. Hippisley.
George Eagle (15), a coal miner, was charged with stealing a lady’s silver watch, value £1/5/-, the property of Eliza Blanning. The prosecutrix is a widow living in Maynard Terrace, Clutton, and the prisoner lived with his father a short distance off. On Saturday last the watch was hanging in prosecutrix’s back kitchen at 6:15 p.m., when she went out for a short time, leaving her two little girls (the eldest aged nine) at home. Shortly afterwards the prisoner came into the back kitchen and asked for some matches, which the elder girl produced from another room. When the prosecutrix returned she missed the watch, and gave information to the police. Constable Summers ultimately arrested the prisoner, and found the watch concealed under the roof of an outhouse on the prisoner’s fathers premises, where he lived. The accused pleaded guilty, but his father alleged he was a kleptomaniac, though he had never stolen anything before. A fine of £1 was imposed.
