5 January 1871 A previous offence was reported in the Burton Chronicle Thursday 5 January 1871 p.4 col.4: STEALING SKATES.-Joseph Salt, 11 years of age, son of a widow residing at Little Burton, was charged with having, on the 28th December, unlawfully stolen a pair of skates, value 7s., the property of Mr. Frederick Gane, ironmonger, High Street. The prisoner was seen by a servant of a neighbouring tradesman to take the skates from the prosecutor's shop, and they were afterwards found in his possession while he was sporting on the ice. It was evident from the explanation of the prisoner's mother that his education had been neglected, and the Chairman severely censured her for her indifference to that important element in her son's welfare. The prisoner was discharged on the understanding that he would in future be regularly sent to school.
15 March 1871 There is a report of the crime in the Derby Mercury Wednesday 15 March 1871 p.3 col.2: Joseph Salt, 11, son of a widow residing at Little Burton, who had been before the Court some time ago for felony, was today charged with stealing, on the 28th. ult., a toy box from the shop of Mr William Collier, Derby Street. - The Bench sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and five years confinement in a reformatory.
