On this week in... 1931

Boosted boots

On 24 February 1931, Edward Sheridan and William Redford were tried at the Ballarat Supreme Court for stealing. The property in question was a pair of boots belonging to one John Oliver. The eighteen-year-old Redford was found not guilty. The twenty-two-year-old Sheridan was found guilty but recommended to mercy, and was released on a bond of fifty pounds to be of good behaviour for five years and come up for sentence if called upon.
