Convicted of stealing. The jury could not decide whether Nellie Cassidy was guilty of 'stealing a lady's costume', or if she had merely acted as a fence, and so a special verdict 'that she was guilty of one or the other' was entered. Aged23.
Titled "Nellie Cassidy, criminal record number 446LB, 10 February 1919. State Reformatory for Women, Long Bay, NSW."
