28 March 1874 There is a report of the crime in the Gloucester Journal Saturday 28 March 1874 p.6 col.4: Frederick Grey, Charles Fream, George Cross, William Sweetman, and James Marmont, who the previous day were convicted of stealing belts from the shop of Mrs. Wheeler, of Southgate-street, were brought up in custody, charged with stealing from a shop at Wotton, on the 17th inst., a bottle of strawberry sweets, thirteen oranges, and about a dozen cakes, of the value of 4s., the property of George Brown. The things were safe on Monday night, and were missed next morning by Mrs. Brown, and information given to the police. On Wednesday P.C. Broad apprehended Sweetman and Marmont on another charge, and accused them of stealing the oranges and sweets from the shop of Mr. Brown. Sweetman said it was not him but Grey who committed the theft. Marmont and Cross and another boy named Fream had some of the sweets, but Fream did not take any. He afterwards apprehended Fream and charged him, and he said "I did not take any, but I had some of them." Grey on being told the charge made no reply. The magistrates dismissed Fream, remarking that he had got into bad company, and they hoped this would be a caution to him and that he would be honest. Frederick Grey was sentenced to one mouth's imprisonment and five years at a reformatory, and George Cross, William Sweetman, and James Marmont were each sentenced to one day's imprisonment and five years in a reformatory.
