8th JUNE 1895… ‘A PRECOCIOUS YOUTH’ AT MOLD
Reported in the Cheshire Observer, 8th June 1895, from the Mold Petty Sessions:
“William James, aged 14, residing with his parents at Conway-street, was charged in custody with stealing two bottles of stout and two bottles of stone beer from the warehouse of Messrs Parker and Clegg, Limited. – Harriet Crawford deposed that she was a domestic servant at Pontygarrig, which adjoins the manufactory of Messrs. Parker and Clegg. At six o’clock on the previous Sunday morning her attention was attracted by the loud barking of a dog. Upon going outside she saw the prisoner leap over the wall dividing Parker and Clegg’s premises from the road. She asked prisoner what he was doing there, and what he had in his pockets? He refused to stop. Witness informed Parker and Clegg’s manager of what had occurred. – Sergeant Burton apprehended prisoner, who, when charged, admitted the offience. – The court ordered the prisoner to be detained in a reformatory for three years, and handed him over to his father, to be kept for fourteen days, pending the completion of the arrangements for his reception.”
