The Shields Daily News for 5 October 1907 reports:
"THEFT OF A SOVEREIGN AT NORTH SHIELDS. BAD CHARACTERS SENT TO GAOL.
At the North Shields Police Court today - Thos. Ward (26) and Patrick Murphy (32), were charged with having, on the 4th inst., stolen a sovereign from the person of a seaman named Thomas Garraty, whilst in the Exchange Hotel, Clive Street.
The prosecutor stated that he had just returned from sea and was feeling happy. On Friday night he met some men and took them into the Exchange public house for the purpose of treating them. Witness put a sovereign on the counter and called in the drinks but the barman refused to supply them. One of the accused grabbed the sovereign and ran out of the bar.
Robert Subden, a shoe black, said he followed the men into the Exchange and saw Murphy pick up the sovereign and run out of the bar. Witness followed the men up Borough Road and on reaching Saville Street they were arrested by PC McGee. Richard Waugh, barman at the Exchange, said that he refused to serve the prosecutor because of his condition. The prosecutor threw a sovereign on the counter and Murphy picked it up and made off.
Chief Constable Huish put in a number of previous convictions against the accused. Ward was committed to prison for two months and Murphy for three months with hard labour".
