Description
Name: Andrea Laudano Arrested for: Larceny Arrested at: North Shields Police Station Arrested on: 21st July 1904 Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-63-Andrea Laudano The Shields Daily Gazette for 8 August 1904 reports: "At North Shields, Andrea Laudino, Italian ice cream vendor, was charged with stealing a pony, value £8, the property of Bernardo Bianci, between the 13th and 19th of July. Prosecutor said that he was an ice cream vendor, and on the night of the 18th ult. he fastened up his pony in a stable in Upper Camden Street. Next morning he found that the stable and hay loft doors had been broken down, and the pony taken away. He had dismissed the prisoner from his employ five weeks previously. Chas. Campbell, Ponteland, deposed to purchasing the pony from the prisoner for £2. The man told him that the ice cream trade was bad and he wanted to get out of the country. PC Lishman deposed to arresting the prisoner, who pleaded guilty, and Detective Thornton spoke to recovering the pony with the prisoner's assistance. Accused stated that the prosecutor owed him 35s, and he took repayment by selling the pony for £2. He was committed to take his trial at the Quarter Sessions". The Morpeth Herald and Reporter, 22 October 1904 reported from the Northumberland Quarter Sessions trials: "Andrea Laudeno (28) ice cream vendor, pleaded guilty to stealing a pony from Bernando Branchi at Tynemouth on July 19th - One month". Sadly this wasn't to be Laudano's last brush with the law. The Shields Daily News for 2 September 1905 reports: "Andrea Laudano (28), an Italian, was remanded for eight days on a charge of stealing from a house in Grey's Yard, Bird Street, on the 19th ult. a shirt and a pair of boots of the value of 7s 6d, the property of Phillip Tomaselli".
