Borstal Records
« on: Friday 19 April 24 15:40 BST (UK) »
Hi, Hoping the brains trust here can assist me please. I have just found a newspaper article from 1940 mentioning a relative of mine:
 'SNEAKING AND ENTERING. Two Belfast youths, Colligan Street, Belfast pleaded guilty to breaking and entering a shop at Hillsborough on  June 14 and stealing cigarettes and goods value £6, and not guilty to breaking and entering the residence of Dr. Wm. Caldwell. Aghadavey, on June 12 and assaulting Dr. Caldwell. Accused were placed on trial on the fatter charge. Mr. Wm. Beattie, K.C. (instructed by Mr. W. A. F. Martin, Crown Solicitor) prosecuted and accused defended themselves. Accused were each sentenced to three years in Borstal.'

Could someone please advise how i would find the Borstal record or more details from the trial?
