BOY'S MASQUERADE AS Girl.
Bathing Pool Arrest.
At the Old Bailey on September 10, Leonard Dennis Boyle, 18, a tole-| phone operator, pleaded guilty to stealing £10, a ring, and other arti- cles, belonging to his mother.
Mr. F. Peregrine, prosecuting. said that the boy was the only child of respectable parents. He had been bound over for stealing a wireless set; fined at Eastbourne for stealing a woman's bathing, costume; and at Dorking bound over for stealing women's under clothing. The jewellery which he' stole he converted into money, with which he bought expensive girl's
clothes.
He went to Jersey and registered his name as "Ivy Dale."
He was arrested, while wearing a girl's costume, in a bathing pool.
Det.-Sergeant Rushton said that when Royle was arrested he was
found to be in the posession of three ladies' dresses, female under- wear. several rows of beads, brooches and cosmetics. His character as a telephone operator
was excellent.
"Your sole desire," said the Re- corder, addressing Boyle, "was to get money to dress yourself as girl and behave as a girl. You will go to Borstal for three years."
