A Parent’s Despair, Incorrigible Denaby Boy.

“ I don’t know what to say. I am about sick of coming here.” said the father of a boy named William Bulcroft (9), who, along with another boy named George Pearson (8), were charged at Doncaster yesterday with having stolen a number of tools belonging James. Gurney, a shoemaker, from his look-up promises in. Doncaster road, New Conisbro’.

Young Bulcroft since April last year, has been convicted five times for thefts, and his father is unable to anything with him.

The prosecutor, when he visited his shop on Monday morning, found it had been broken, into and a quantity of brass rivets, nails, two pairs of lasts, and some knives were missing.

Mr. Walker Jackson commented upon Bulcroft’s bad record, and sentenced him to receive six strokes with the birch, and if he came again promised that would send him to reformatory. Pearson, whose first conviction that was, was ordered to receive three strokes.
