EXTRAORDINARY BURGLARIES NEAR SOUTH SHIELDS. A young man named Thomas Blake, belonging to Belfast, was charged, on Tuesday, at South Shields Petty Sessions, with having burglariously entered the house of Philip Cooper, a bank clerk, residing in Langham Road, East Boldon. Mr Cooper said that he went to bed about one o'clock on the morning of May 9. Adjoining his bedroom was another room, the window of which was left partly open. About 4.30 in the morning his wife aroused him, and he saw the prisoner standing in the room. Witness sat up in bed, and asked prisoner what he was doing there. He replied, "Don't move," and then walked out of the room. Witness jumped out of bed and locked the door from the inside. He then examined the room, and missed a silver bangle, a gold cross, a bunch of keys, and several coins. Further evidence showed that the prisoner pledged the gold cross with a South Shields pawnbroker for 1s, and he also pawned the bangle and two razors which were stolen from the bathroom. [ . . . ] Accused pleaded guilty to both charges, and said that the windows of the houses were open, and, being cold and hungry, he went in. He did not go in for jewellery, but for money. The magistrates committed him for trial at the Assizes. |
