Theft Charges: Special Sitting of Hinckley Magistrates Yesterday: Month’s Imprisonment for Woman: At a special court yesterday (Thursday), several cases were down for hearing by the Hinckley magistrates: Walter Pinsent, Stoughton Street, Leicester, was charged with stealing on October 1st a pair of boy’s black boots, value 5s, the property of Harry Richard Lucas, fish frier, of 28 Hinckley Road, Earl Shilton. Lucas said that accused came into his shop one day and asked him where a man named Watts lived. Witness told him, but before he left, they spoke together on horse racing, Pinsent telling him he wanted to put L. 10 on a horse. Witness had seen him several times since. On October 1st he came into witness’s kitchen and stayed some time. He asked witness to give him some potatoes for two boys working in the same stable as himself (he had previously told Lucas that he was s single man working in O. Bell’s stable), and witness gave him eight pounds. Afterwards’ Lucas became suspicious and following prisoner he found he had a pair of boy’s boots which witness recognized as belonging to him. Witness detained him and sent for the constable. P.C. Bakewell said that when he charged the accused, he said: “I took them on the impulse of the moment.” It was stated that Pinsent has a sick wife at Leicester. There was nothing previously known against hm. He apparently went round to people’s houses, professing to know racehorses which were going to win. He made some money selling tips in this manner. As this was his first offence, the magistrates (Messrs. W. H. Bott, F. Burton and F. Green) bound Pinsent over for twelve months in his own recognisances.
