30 August 1862 An appearance before the court on a previous occasion is reported in the Staffordshire Advertiser Saturday 30 august 1862 p.2 col.3: A CASE FOR THE REFORMATORY.-A youth named William Hodgkinson, aged ten years, was brought before the bench with a view to placing him under surveillance. He has been known to commit several petty acts of pilfering, and has been once imprisoned for larceny. The bench ordered him to be placed in the workhouse, and a reformatory will be his ultimate destination.
20 September 1862 There is a brief report of his trial in the Staffordshire Advertiser Saturday 20 September 1862 p.7 col.7: A young urchin named Hodgkinson was committed to prison for fourteen days, and was ordered at the expiration of the sentence to be sent to the Saltley Reformatory. He had spent various terms in the prison and workhouse, and neither had checked his propensity to thieving. It appeared that he was utterly friendless and destitute.
