Derby Mercury: Wednesday 31st July 1889

Youths in Trouble: John Dollery, John Waller, John Arthur Pincent, Robert Baines and Samuel Newton, boys, were charged with sleeping in an outhouse on the Meadow Road, early this morning. Police constable Nash proved the case, and said the youths told him that they had slept in the same place several nights. Baines, Pinsent, and Newton had each been in trouble before. Taking into account Pincent’s age, the Bench decided to send him to an industrial school until 16; Baines and Newton were each sent to prison for seven days, and the others were admonished and discharged.

Hinckley News: Saturday 4th August 1883

Arthur Potterton, aged 12 years, was charged with stealing a pocket-knife, the property of John Pinsent, aged 13 years. The lads were at the public baths on Saturday, and when Pinsent went to dress, he missed his knife from his trousers pocket. Finding Potterton in possession of it he charged him with stealing the knife, an accusation which he stoutly denied, and at first alleged that another boy had taken it and given it to him. He afterwards said that he found the knife on the floor, and so many lads laid claim to it that he decided to keep it until he could find the rightful owner. The defendant now repeated this statement to the Bench relying upon it as his defence. — The Magistrates, however, considered he was guilty of taking the knife, and that for a boy he had shown considerable ingenuity in his defence. They did not desire to convict him, on account of the previous good character which he received from a tradesman by whom he had been employed as errand boy and dismissed him on his parents undertaking to chastise him for the offence.

Scalded to Death: An inquest was held subsequently on the body of a three-year-old child; named Frank Pinsent, the son of John Arthur Pinsent, a shoehand, residing in the Green Lane Road, on Saturday morning. The father stated that on Saturday morning he went to work as usual, about 7.30, leaving the child in charge of its great-grandmother. When he returned at dinnertime, he found the child wrapped up in a blanket, suffering from scalds, and took it to the Infirmary. Elizabeth Pinsent, a widow, stated that the deceased had lived with her at 170, Green Lane Road. On the morning in question the boy was playing in the yard, while the witness was working in the house. There was a puncheon containing hot water in the living room. Witness had occasion to leave the room for a moment, and while away heard the deceased scream. On running back, she found him sitting in the water, having apparently fallen backward into the vessel. Witness sent for Dr. Clarke, who ordered the deceased to be taken to the Infirmary. Dr. Phillips said when the child was brought to the institution he was suffering from scalds on the trunk and thigh. Death was due to shock, resulting in scalds. A verdict of death from accidental cause was returned.
