Who Killed Cock Robin?

Article from Rochdale Observer 8th February 1961

Two boys aged 14 and 13 appeared before the justices at Rochdale Borough Juvenile Court last week accused of killing a robin on Springbank Lane, Bamford. The bird, 'quite a pet in the Bamford district' was found dead by a Bamford lady, who said she had seen three boys shoot it with an air rifle. Two of the boys admitted killing the robin and were fined £2.00 each.
