Take a peek into the #1700s with our #ArchiveOfTheWeek, Derby Borough Quarter Sessions. It dealt with all sorts: road repair, illegitimate children and all kinds of petty crime, like the theft of a quilted petticoat, apron and fine woollen gown from a garden in Nov 1758.
![A statement by Dorothy Ford dated 21 November 1758 stating that: she had taken or stolen out of the Garden on Backside belonging to Anthony Clough in the Parish of Saint Werburgh in the said Borough one Quilted Petticoat, one white
apron, one white Scotch Cloth Handkerchief, and one Black Shalloon Gown which she had hung in the said Garden on Backside to dry, and that she
suspects the same to be stoln [sic] by some person or persons within the said Borough.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wj5kvgounn6ciqi3kdn6mgas/bafkreibtha53uzbjhbtvzfcmhv5zwwpalweqjdo6zakfvg2so74tilsmou@jpeg)
