The Shields Daily News for 3 November 1906 reports:
"LARCENY CASE AT NORTH SHIELDS.
At the North Shields Police Court this morning before Captains Bolt and Sanderson, Elizabeth Gambetter, a middle-aged woman, residing at 6 Bedford Street, was charged with stealing a skirt valued at 4s 6d, the property of Ellen Gorman, on the 2nd inst.
The prosecutrix, a domestic servant, employed in a shop at Swan's Quay, said that for some days past she had been sleeping at the house of the accused, paying her 1s a week. Yesterday morning she returned from the shop at 11.30 and found several things which had been in her pocket lying on the table. Missing the skirt she questioned Mrs Gambetter, who said that someone had come into the house and taken it. Witness did not believe the statement and informed the police.
Evidence was given showing that the prisoner pledged the skirt with Messrs Fisher, Church Way, for 2s 6d yesterday morning. Detective-Inspector Thornton proved the arrest. Accused admitted that she pledged the skirt as she was very short of money, but she meant to redeem it. A fine of 10s without costs was imposed, with the alternative of 14 days in gaol".
Elizabeth Cambettie (or possibly Cambetti) is also mentioned in the Shields Daily Gazette on a number of previous occasions. The Gazette for 2 September 1904 reports that:
"An Italian named Cosmo McCree, who keeps a boarding house in Clive Street, was summoned at North Shields for an assault upon his paramour, Eliz. M. Cambetti. Complainant, who was represented by Mr Chapman, told the Bench she had lived with defendant for four years."
