23 July 1864 There is a report if the offence in Aris's Birmingham Gazette Saturday 23 July 1864 p.7 col.4: JUVENILE DELINQUENT .-Thomas Conway, a lad of 11 years, living in Thorp Street, was brought up on remand charged with having stolen the sum of 1s. 6d., belonging to his mother. The lad had been remanded in order that inquiries respecting his character might be made by Detective-Inspector Kelly, which turned out anything but satisfactory for the accused. It also transpired that the mother, whose business called her out a good deal, could not bestow upon her child the necessary amount ot attention to keep him honest, and as the offence had been clearly established, the Stipendiary sentenced him to fourteen days' imprisonment, and to be afterwards sent to a Reformatory Institution for five years.
1 August 1869 Discharged
