Ladies and Gents,
Whilst conducting a little research project into some Victorian police medals I recently added to my collection. I discovered an interesting newspaper article that I thought might be of interest/amusement?
I first came across the character of "LITTLE SARAH", in the 15th July 1889 edition of the Islington Gazette
... using bad language. Prisoner said she was sober and did not use had language. Police Constable 248 Y corroborated the first witness. Prisoner said this latter constable was in the habit of visiting Little Sarah at her house, and, consequence of some ...
(unfortunately I'm unable to see the entire article)
Who or rather what "LITTLE SARAH" may have been to require Constable 248Y to be in the habit of visiting her house, is tantalizing to say the least................
I then discovered another article about the mysterious "LITTLE SARAH".
..15th January 1889 again in the Islington Gazette 1889
Under the headline ALL THROUGH LITTLE SARAH.
Mary Johnson, a machinist, Orpiugley-road, Holloway, was charged before Mr. Bros, at .lstuu Police-court, Saturday, with disorderly conduct and making use obscene language in Seven Sisters -road. Police Constable 359 Y deposed ...
(again I'm unable to read the entire article)
But the circumstances appear very similar, (drunken woman in the street).
Is "LITTLE SARAH" and Mary JOHNSON the machinist, one and the same person?
Is "LITTLE SARAH" a local unfortunate? (As she appears to have her own home, is she more professional than the average street walker? Can't seem to find any Old Bailey cases about her or indeed any other newspaper articles, so perhaps I'm doing her a grave disservice.
What is interesting is that 248Y was posted as 378H shortly after his encounter with "LITTLE SARAH".
Is the prisoner in the 15th July article "LITTLE SARAH" or another woman whose trying to discredit Constable 248Y, it does appear to read that way?
Would very much like to hear anyone's opinion on this..................
