Lucy Caldwell, from Station Street, found herself up before Bromsgrove Petty Sessions charged with stealing firewood from homes under construction in Bromsgrove. Sgt Wagstaff stated he had witnessed the defendant in the Ednall Lane houses picking up wood and putting it in her apron. Joseph Tilt, who was constructing the homes, claimed that pilfering had become a common problem and that he had lost wood from other sites.

She pleaded guilty but claimed she did not intend to do anything wrong and was let off paying a hefty fine of 18s. (90p)
