Hull Advertiser HULL POLICE COURT before Messrs. Cookman and Firbank. TUESDAY. Two urchins, about twelve years of age, were placed in the dock upon a charge of being found, in the previous night sleeping in a privy. In reply to MR. COOKMAN, they stated that they had absconded from the Sculcoates Workhouse on the day before. They could not tell why they ran away and had no complaint to make against the manner in which they were fed or otherwise treated while they were there. MR. COOKMAN ordered the policeman to take them back to the authorities at the Workhouse, who, no doubt, would adopt some means to have them suitably punished. |

1930, Wednesday, February 26th. Hull Daily Mail NO MONEY! SCULCOATES OFFICIALS IN AWKWARD DILEMMA. SIGNATURE WANTED BY BANK. Considerable consternation and no little uneasiness was caused in one of the poorer quarters of the city today, when hundreds of people, many of whose circumstances were pathetic in the extreme, were kept in suspense as to whether or not they would receive the allowance which had been allocated to them by the Board of Guardians. This dramatic situation arose this morning at the Fern-street relieving centre, which is in the Sculcoates area, and some of the recipients of relief had to wait in the vicinity of the station for a couple of hours or more. The cause of the circumstances, the �Mail� was later informed, was due to the fact that the authorities had been unable to make any withdrawal from the bank. Shortly before 10.30 a.m., at which the clerks originally commence their paying out, small crowds gathered at the office entrance and the numbers gradually increased until at about lunch hour between three and four hundred were waiting for relief in money and kind. The total amount which it was estimated would be received by them was £300. At Noon there was every indication of the situation becoming more and more complicated, owing to the fact that two further distributions were to take place later in the day, relief again being dispensed at 1.45 p.m. and 3.30 p.m. At these times over 1,000 people are dealt with, £350 being apportioned between 600 at 1.45-p.m., and £300 to the remainder at the later hour. The reason given to the �Mail� reporter for the delay in the matter was that the clerk and deputy clerk were away, the former it is understood, being out of the city, and in order to obtain the money from the bank the cheque which had to be presented had to bear the signature of either of these two principal officials It was in consequence of this not being adhered to that the Union authorities were unable to make the distribution at the stipulated time. The situation, the �Mail� was later informed, had been met and brought to a satisfactory termination by the Relieving Officer receiving an allowance from the bank. |
