26 February 1861 There is a report of the crime in the Birmingham Daily Post Tuesday 26 February 1861 p.3 col.4: A GANG OF YOUNG THIEVES. - Four lads, their ages averaging from eleven to fourteen, named Samuel Taylor, James Phillips boy 216], Charles Ingestre, and John Jones, were charged with stealing twenty-two pigeons, value £3, the property of Henry Longley, gun polisher, Hampton Row. It appears that, on Saturday night, the pigeons were locked up safe in a pen on the prosecutor's premises; but on the following morning the pen was found to have been broken open and twenty-two pigeons stolen,. About half-past nine o'clock on Sunday morning a man named Wilton met Taylor, Phillips, and Jones with eighteen of the stolen birds in their possession. He suspected that they were stolen, and questioned the prisoners about them. Taylor replied that they belonged to his father, but Wilton, doubting his statement, gave the prisoners into custody. They then directed the officer to Ingestre's house, where they found the remaining four. The prisoners, who have all been In trouble before, pleaded guilty, Taylor and Jones being sentenced to twenty one days' imprisonment, and after the expiration of that term to be sent to a Reformatory School for five years, Phillips to two days' imprisonment and to be well whipped,- and Ingestre to one day' s imprisonment,
