Summary edit

Description
English: Name: Percy Swallow

Arrested for: not given
Arrested at: North Shields Police Station
Arrested on: 29 November 1907
Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-117-Percy Swallow
The Shields Daily News for 25 November 1907 reports:
"Percy Swallow (16), who said he belonged to London, and had walked from there, was charged with being found wandering without having visible means of subsistence. Chief Constable Huish asked him if he would like to go to sea. The lad expressed his willingness, and at the request of Mr Huish he was remanded for a week. In the meantime the Chief Constable will endeavour to get him a ship."
Unfortunately, the Shields Daily News for 30 November 1907 reports:
"At the North Shields Police Court this morning ... Percy Swallow (16), of no fixed abode, was committed to prison for one month on a charge of having stolen a watch, valued at 10s, the property of Peter Larsen, from his room at the Tyne Sailors Home, on the 28th inst."
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.
