Poverty at Denaby

Two ragged Denaby lads, named Smith, aged 13 and 9, were brought before the Stipendiary at the Sheffield Police Court, yesterday, charged with sleeping out.

They walked to Sheffield on Tuesday to see their uncle, who formerly resided on the Moor. Their father is out of work, and they hoped to get money from the uncle. But he had left the house he formerly occupied.

Having nowhere to go, the boys slept in an outhouse, where they were found by a constable about three o’clock in the morning.

The Stipendiary remanded them for the arrival of their father to take them home.
