23 April 1875 There is a report of the crime in the Hull Packet Friday 23 April 1875 p.6 col.5: THEFT OF 10s.- Robert Mullins, a little boy aged 11, was charged by P.C. Davis (161) with stealing the sum of 10s,, the property of Messrs. Myers and Co., of High Street. It appeared that prisoner was an errand boy in the employ of the above firm, and the cashier sent him for change of half-a-sovereign; the prisoner, however, never returned with the money, and the cashier was told by the boy's mother to prosecute him. Prisoner was convicted of felony in June, 1874, and the Mayor thought he should now be put into a reformatory, and remanded the prisoner for eight days, for such arrangement to be made.
