12 August 1874 There is a report of the crime in the Staffordshire Sentinel Wednesday 12 August 1874 p.3 col.4: A YOUTHFUL THIEF, - Garibaldi Hall, a boy residing in Abbey Street, was charged with stealing, on the 11th instant, a watch key and seal, value 4s 6d., the property E. H. Goodwin, jeweller, Hope Street.- Julia Goodwin, wife of prosecutor, said the boy came into the shop on the day named, and asked the price of some penknives. Prior to his coming in, she had left the shop for half a moment. As soon as prisoner left without purchasing any knives, she missed from a card on the counter a watch key and seal combined. Towards evening she saw the boy passing the shop window, and, calling him in, charged him with the theft. Ultimately she handed prisoner over to the custody of P.C. Sharratt. Prisoner, on being charged with the theft at the police office, acknowledged to it, and said that he had given the seal to his brother William. Next morning he was confronted with his brother, and emphatically stuck to his statement, which, however, his brother as emphatically denied.- Prisoner, who was proved tc belong to the gang of young thieves who gave the police so much trouble some months ago, was sent to gaol for a month, after which time he will be kept in a reformatory for five years.
