At Edmonton fair a cloak was allegedly stolen at the Ball public house.

A separate matter concerned the Society for the Suppression of Juvenile Prostitution and ended with the defendant acquitted after the judge criticized the society’s handling. Central Criminal Court items followed with lengthy sentence lists and adjournment to October 27.
