12 November 1877 There is a report of the offence in the Staffordshire Sentinel Monday 12 November 1877 p.3 col.3: JUVENILE INCENDIARY. - Thomas Teague, a boy, was charged with setting a haystack on fire, on the 2nd inst. -Mary Ann Potts, the complainant, proved the case, and said the damage would be about £6.-Corroborative evidence was given, which showed that the boy was incorrigible. He had been an inmate of the Workhouse for fifteen months, and had absconded from that house some time back. In answer to the Bench, prisoner said he set the stack on fire "to warm himself," and his reason for running away from the workhouse was because "the other boys was always on to him." The Bench remarked that they thought the youth was incorrigible, and they would send him to prison for one month, after the expiration of which time he would be sent to a reformatory for five years.
