Brothers Sentenced. 

Mother Robbed Of £100 Bank Note. 

Three brothers, named Frank, Patrick, and John  Skinnon, of New Conisborough, were each sent to  prison for three months at Doncaster, yesterday,  for stealing bank note from their mother.

It was stated that the money was missed subsequent to the disappearance of the accused, and the mother received a postcard stating that they were at Liverpool.

They were arrested aboard the “Laurentia,” having booked for America. They stated that the money belonged the family.

The mother was greatly distressed on hearing the sentence. Ninety pounds was recovered.
