18 September 1862 There is a report of the crime in the Birmingham Daily Post Thursday 18 September 1862 p.7 col.3: CHARGE OF STEALING LEAD, - Two lads named Charles Yates, a glass cutter, residing in Lupin Street, and John Jones, a gun barrel borer, living in Brewery Street, were charged on suspicion of stealing a quantity of lead from the premises of the London and North-Western Railway Company, at the Vauxhall Station. It appeared from the evidence that a large quantity of lead has been missed from the Vauxhall Station, and that on the Wednesday night a boy, tamed William Thomas Riddle, whose father is employed by the company, saw the two prisoners upon the roof of some building on the premises of the station where lead had been stolen. He spoke to them, and they ran away. The witness told his father of what he had seen, and two or three days afterwards the prisoners were apprehended by Detective -sergeant Clark. They were charged with having stolen a quantity of lead from the premises, and they replied that they had only done so once. Yates, who it appeared was a very bad lad, was sentenced .to twenty-one days' imprisonment. Jones, who has been previously convicted, was ordered to be imprisoned for fourteen days, and at the expiration of that term to be sent to a Reformatory School for four years.
