Leicester Chronicle: Saturday 2nd September 1854

Ashby De La Zouch Petty Sessions: August 26th (before C. R. Colville, Esq. and the Rev. J. M. Echalez): Ann and Charlotte Brookes, sisters, two decently dressed little girls, apparently 9 and 11 years old, were charged with stealing two pairs of boots at Ashby, on Saturday, the 12th August. Thomas Pincent, of Loughborough, stated that on the before-mentioned day he had a shoe-stall in Ashby market, the two girls were standing near it, looking at the goods; when they were gone, he was asked by another stall keeper if he had lost any boots, as he saw the prisoners take some away. Got a policeman and followed them towards Heather, where they reside. Overtook them three miles from Ashby and took the two pairs of boots produced from them; they are his property and worth 10s. The father of the prisoners was present and acknowledged the offence on their behalf. Mr Echalaz severely reprimanded him for his profligate neglect of his children and habits of drunkenness, by which the unfortunate prisoners had in all probability been driven to commit the offence with which they stood charged: Fined 5s each and £1 4s 6d expenses. A fortnight allowed for payment.
