10 March 1856 A report in Aris’s Birmingham Gazette Monday 10 March 1856 p.4 col.5 tells us: A boy names John King was accused of stealing sundry articles of clothing from the Saltley Reformatory School. The prisoner was an inmate of the Institution, and according to the statement of the schoolmaster, Mr John Ellis, he kept his room on Tuesday morning, stating that he was ill. In the afternoon, when the muster-roll was called over, the defendant was missing, and it was soon afterwards found that several waistcoats had been stolen. The property was subsequently pledged by the prisoner, and when apprehended by police constable Kemp, pawn tickets for the same were found in his possession. – He was committed for trial.
