30 June 1855 In a very brief report of the crime, the Birmingham Journal Saturday 30 June 1855 p.11 col.4 says: Frederick Wright, gun polisher, for stealing a handkerchief, the property of Reuben Roe, from his person, one month [in prison], and two years at Saltley Reformatory School
4 April 1857 In the Reformatory Minute book is recorded: 423. Resolved: that an application be made to the Secretary of State for the dismissal of Elkington [boy 83], Wright, Lundy [boy 76], Brookes [boy 61], Dempsey [boy 86], and Campton [boy 54], and that Elkington and Wright be allowed to go to the masters who have applied to take them as apprentices; that Lundy and Brookes be placed under the care of Mr Pawson, who promised to find them work; and that Campton and Dempsey be assisted to emigrate.
3 June 1857 In a list of ‘disposals’, the Minute Book reports that Wright is in Warwick Gaol for window breaking, and will return 17 June.
