Arrested for: not given
Arrested at: North Shields Police Station
Arrested on: 19 May 1906
Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-41-Florence Watson
The Shields Daily News for 25 May 1906 reports:
“THEFT BY A DOMESTIC AT NORTH SHIELDS.
At North Shields Police Court today, Florence Watson (17), residing in Reed Street, was charged with having on divers dates stolen from a dwelling house at the Spital Dene a table cloth, five handkerchiefs, and two chemises and other articles valued at 14s, the property of Eliza. J. Flisher.
Prosecutrix stated that the accused was in her service as a domestic servant for a month. Finding that she had given a false reference, she discharged her on the 20th March and ultimately she missed the articles mentioned in the charge and gave information to the police. Evidence was given to the effect that the accused pawned the tablecloth for 2s 3d.
Sergt. Hall said he arrested the accused in a house in Reed Street and charged her. She admitted the theft and said she got a girl to pawn the tablecloth because they were hard up. A sister of the accused undertook to stand as a surety for her and she was accordingly bound over in the sum of £5 to bring her up to receive judgement if called upon within six months”.
These images are a selection from an album of photographs of prisoners brought before the North Shields Police Court between 1902 and 1916 in the collection of Tyne & Wear Archives (TWA ref DX1388/1).
This set contains mugshots of boys and girls under the age of 21. This reflects the fact that until 1970 that was the legal age of majority in the UK.
