British criminals of the last century

We accidentally caught the eye of a retro collection of photographs of the early twentieth century, made in the Municipal Court of the British town of North Shields, located on the North Sea coast. Photos taken with the 1902 to 1916-th year.

Apparently, given the tiny town, the crime was limited, most often theft. Although there are exceptions. Anyone can check their intuition and to define the crime of each depicted in the photo :) Let's start with women.

Here thieves of all kinds and scales.
























Alfred Wilkinson, Sylvester Hurlburt Mustafa Irala accused of perjury.







Now turn to thieves.

















It stands out from all the James Dawson. He was an exhibitionist and he was repeatedly arrested for indecent exposure in public places.
