Three little boys named Wm. Sunderland, James Sanderson, and Geo. Wm. Lawson were charged with stealing a wheelbarrow, the property of Major Grantham, all of Conisbro’.
The barrow was missed, and afterwards found in Sunderland’s hands.
The youngsters then admitted that, seeing the barrow in Major Grantham’s garden, they wheeled it away.
They were cautioned, and their parents ordered to pay the costs, 5s. 8d. each.
