9 June 1873 There is a report of the crime in the Birmingham Daily Post Monday 9 June 1873 p.6 col.6: STREET ARABS WITH A VENGEANCE..- Andrew Fighe (16), of Palmer Street, and William Yates, of Bordesley Street, and Richard Pritchard, of no residence, two younger lads, were charged with sleeping out. There was a list of six previous convictions against Pritchard, and the two other prisoners had been convicted two or more times apiece. The character given of the prisoners was that nothing was safe from them - fowls, pigeons, clothes, tools, or anything else; and that they would on no account work. Fighe was sentenced to three months' hard labour, and Yates to six weeks' hard labour; and Pritchard was sent to prison for a month, and then five years in a reformatory.
