14 May 1864 There is a report of the crime in the Staffordshire Advertiser Saturday 14 May 1863 p.7 col.3: JUVENILE THIEVES.- James Stacey and Frederick Grooott, two lads each twelve years old, belonging to Burslem, were charged with stealing 2s., the monies of Joseph Lymer. The prisoners both pleaded guilty. It seems that Mr. Lymer keeps a hosiery and haberdashery shop in the Sytch, Burslem. On Monday morning, one or both of the prisoners went into the shop three different times to make some frivolous enquiries, and on the last occasion, according to their own admission, Stacey went barefoot, got round the counter, and took 2s. from the drawer, which they jointly spent in Tunstall. Strange to say, the young thieves both returned in the evening, making similar frivolous enquiries, and immediately one of them was taken into custody, and the other ran away, but was soon captured. The prisoners were sentenced to twenty-one days' imprisonment each, after which period Stacey, who had been previously convicted, will be sent to a reformatory for four years.
