House-Breaking at Leek: Isaac Wain

It is Friday again, when I share something that I have found whilst looking for records, that is interesting or adds information to our family tree.

Found in the Staffordshire Advertiser 11 April 1914, page 9.

The follow-up to last week's crime and I also found out what had been stolen from Isaac Wain, 1 shirt, 1 oz weight of tea, 1 lb weight of beef, 1 lb and 8 oz weight of bread and 1 jam tart.


The transcription reads:

HOUSE-BREAKING AT LEEK
John Thomas Hulme, 37, labourer, and Edwin Rose, 25, labourer, on bail, pleaded guilty to breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Isaac Wain and stealing therein a shirt and a quantity of food, at Leekfrith, on Feb 25.
Mr. HASTINGS prosecuted and called the Police Court Missionary from Macclesfield, who said that since Rose had been on bail he had obtained work and had been of good behaviour. Rose's employer was prepared to take him back again.
Rose was bound over and placed under the supervision of the Probation  Officer. Hulme, who had been in prison awaiting trial, was bound over in the sum of £5.
