1 May 1861 There is a report of the offence in the Birmingham Daily Post Wednesday 1 May 1861 p.3 col.1: ROBBING AN EMPLOYER. - A lad named David Jones. in the service of Mr. Edward Judd, baker, Hockley Street, stood charged with stealing several sums of money, the property of his employer. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ as an errand boy, but on several occasions he was sent to collect accounts, and It was his duty to hand over the same day the amounts he had received. The prisoner had, however, been to two of his master's customers without leave, and had obtained two sums of 18s 6d. and 4s, which he had appropriated to his own use without accounting for them. The embezzlement remained undiscovered until Monday, when the prisoner was given into custody. He now pleaded guilty, and it appearing that he bore a bad character, he was sentenced to fourteen days Imprisonment, with har labour, and at the expiration of that time to be sent to a Reformatory
