Summary edit

Description
English: Name: Arthur Convery

Arrested for: not given
Arrested at: North Shields Police Station
Arrested on: 25 October 1905
Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-79-Arthur Convery
The Shields Daily News for 25 October 1905 reports:
“THEFT FROM A SLOT METER.
Arthur Convery (19), miner, was charged with stealing 11d from a gas meter, the property of the Tynemouth Gas Company at Horsley’s Cottages, Chirton, and with doing wilful damage to the meter to the amount of £1. This being prisoner’s first offence, he was fined 10s and costs for the theft and the charge of damage was withdrawn.”
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.
