4 March 1856 A possible report of his crime, with an error in the name is to be found in the Liverpool Mercury Saturday 8 March 1856 pp.6, 7 cols.6, 1: A boy named Joseph Jones, who had been remanded on a charge of stealing a watch, was again brought up. Mr Mansfield said the boy had been forty-three times in custody, and was reported to be a most dangerous thief. He was ordered to be imprisoned for 60 days, and at the termination of that period to be sent for five tears to the Saltley Reformatory, near Birmingham. [The date is about right, the sentence for Saltley is right, and there is no Joseph Jones in the Saltley Admissions Register.]
