Charge of Stealing Boots
At the West Riding Police Court, Huddersfield, on Tuesday, before W. Crowther (in the chair), T. Mallinson, and J. Kilburn, Esqs.,David Sykes, weaver, of Golfer, was brought up in custody charged with stealing a pair of boots valued at 6s. 11d. From the shop of Messrs. Stead and Simpson, at Market-street, Milnesbridge. Mr. Frank Sykes appeared for the defence. According to the evidence of Miss Florence Chilton, manageress of the shop, the boots were hung outside the door at a quarter past nine on Saturday morning. She saw the prisoner outside the shop about 12 o’clock, and about 12-30 found the boots had been taken. From information received, she and a boy named Norman Avison followed the prisoner to Longwood Station, and on arriving there found him outside the station with the boots (which were not wrapped in paper) under his arm. The boy took the boots from the prisoner. Miss Chilton told him he had no business to take the boots, and they returned to the shop with them. In cross-examination Miss Chilton said the prisoner was very drunk at the time. Norman Avison corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Police-constable Webb deposed to arresting the proper at his home, and in reply to the charge said “ I have not taken any boots t0-day.” Under Mr. Sykes advise the defendant please guilty, and Mr. Sykes on his behalf that he took the boots not really knowing what he was doing. It appeared that when he got to work on the morning the morning in question the material was not ready for him and he could not start. He went to the public house and had several drinks, including tea with rum in it, and this took such an effect on the prisoner - who had been a teetotaler for two months - that his mind was a total blank as to what he was doing at the time. Miss Chilton said the firm did not wish to press the case, but left it to the merciful consideration of the Bench. A fine of 20s. And 27s. Expenses was inflicted.
