    1. [WAR] Theft in 1887 - YARDLEY, EDWARDS, STRINGER
    2. I spotted the following in the Ilfracombe Chronicle and North Devon News of Saturday, 1 January 1887. Carol At Nuneaton, Edward YARDLEY, Frederick EDWARDS, and Joseph STRINGER pleaded guilty the other day to stealing cherry brandy and cigars, valued £9 18s., from Oldbury Hall, Warwickshire, the residence of Mr William HUNTINGDON. The articles were stolen from the store-room in the family's absence. STRINGER was sentenced to one and YARDLEY to three months' hard labour. EDWARDS, whose age was only 14 years, was let off with one day's imprisonment.
