12 July 1865 There is a report of the crime in the Birmingham Daily Post Wednesday 12 July 1865 p.6 col.2: A JUVENILE THIEF.-Charles Taylor (12), errand boy, Friston Street, was charged with stealing a pearl card case, value 6s. 6d., the property of W. Stephenson, dealer in fancy goods. Worcester Street. A number of articles were missed on Monday, and suspicion was attached to the prisoner, who was in the employment of the prosecutor as an errand boy. He was charged with stealing the case, and. after some hesitation, acknowledged his guilt, stating that he had concealed it in a chimney, where it was afterwards found. The prisoner had previously robbed the prosecutor, who had forgiven him, and received him again into his employment. Mr. Kynnersley sentenced the prisoner to fourteen days' imprisonment, and, at the expiration of that period, to be sent to a reformatory school for five years.
August 1871 Called at the school. Doing well as a bricklayer
