Description
Name: Charlotte Branney Arrested for: Larceny Arrested at: North Shields Police Station Arrested on: 5th January 1904 Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-33-Charlotte Branney-b The Shields Daily Gazette for 12 January 1904 reports: "A SERVANT'S THEFTS. Charlotte Branney (18), who hails from Murton Colliery, was formerly in domestic service with Ed. McHugh, eating-house keeper, New Quay, North Shields. On August 26th she obtained a day's leave and, after she was gone, a jacket was missed from a stand in the hall. Next day she left altogether and so did a skirt from the bedroom. Charlotte was apprehended at Seaham Harbour and brought back to explain. This she did by pleading guilty to stealing the skirt but, as to the jacket, she said she only borrowed that for the afternoon. Being afraid of detection on her return she threw it over a fence near her mistresses's house and it was gone the next morning. Chief Contsable Huish said she was "wanted" at Newcastle on another charge and she was now sentenced to 14 days in the second division". 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.
