17 March 1860 There was a report of the crime in the Birmingham Journal Saturday 17 March 1860 p.5 col.6: A Refractory Son.-A boy named Charles Huskisson,[surname given thus] thirteen years of age, living in the Bellbarn Road, was charged with stealing 9s from his mother's house. The complainant, who appeared much distressed, said her son had for some time past been the habit of robbing her. She herself was only a poor washerwoman, with a family, her husband being dead; and she hoped the Magistrates would send her son to a Reformatory School, as she did not know what to do with him. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, and also admitted taking things on other occasions. The Bench sentenced him to fourteen days' imprisonment, and at the expiration of that time to be sent to Reformatory School for five years.
November 1866 Left his home and went on tramp
