TOTTENHAM

STEALING MARKED MONEY. - On Saturday (29 December 1900) at the North London Police-court, Henry Pluckrose, 21, barman, was charged, with stealing two marked sixpences, the property of his employer, Mr Townsend, the landlord of the “Eaglet,” Seven Sisters-rd. Tottenham - The prisoner was arrested on the 19th ult. with 60 sixpences and one shilling in his possession. He had only been in the prosecutor’s employment a few days, and during that short period the takings had fallen off in a marked manner. - The prisoner pleaded guilty, and wished the magistrate to deal with the case. - Det. sergt. Dolden said he had made inquiries into the prisoner’s previous history. He had had four situations in eight months, each of which he had left in about ten or twelve days, and the landlords had found that they were about £30 short. Friends frequently called on the prisoner, and there was no doubt that they had money passed to them. If the prisoner thought that he was suspected he used to go out for a shave and return late at night, knowing that he would be discharged as a consequence. Last year the prisoner had three month’s hard labour at Enfield for a similar offence. - Mr Fordham: I suppose it is no use saying anything to you, Pluckrose? The Prisoner; I don’t think it is. - Mr Fordham: Three months’ hard labour.
