14 November 1863 There is a report of the crime in the Staffordshire Advertiser Saturday 14 November 1863 p.7 col.3: THEFTS FROM STALLS IN THE MARKET.-Martin Brown, a boy thirteen years of age, was convicted of having stolen five caps from a stall in the market, on Saturday, the 31st ult., belonging to a Jew named Simon Wemon. He was seen to take them away by the prosecutor, who, however, could not leave his stall to follow him. Police-sergeant Gasson apprehended the boy in about half-an-hour after, and the prosecutor identified him as the thief. The prisoner having been before the magistrates five times previously, and twice imprisoned, Mr. Spooner sentenced him to a month's imprisonment, and afterwards to be sent for five years to a reformatory.
