A 12 year old boy Michael Menahem and a girl Mary M'Alietor face the Lord Mayor on charges of stealing a silver fork from a Dulwich villa. The pair, with a history of petty crime, allegedly used a lavender girl to lure entry while a third party questioned matches selling. The girl says she was persuaded, the boy claims the girl acted alone as the boy claims he found the fork. The case reveals suburban theft patterns and ends with remand to Bridewell.
