29 October 1853 A short report of a possible previous crime is in the Birmingham Journal Saturday 29 1853 p.6 col.3: A YOUNG VAGABOND. – A youth, names Thomas Beeston, was brought up charged with attempting to pick the pocket of a lady in Dale End, on Tuesday evening. It appeared that the prisoner, in company with some other lads, were walking about in Dale End, when one of them, Beeston, was detected by a gentleman named William Page, who observed him take his hand out of a lady’s pocket. He was immediately taken into custody. The Magistrates committed him to the House of Correction for two weeks, with hard labour. This was the prisoner’s third appearance before the Bench.
2 January 1855 In the Minute Book of the Reformatory it is reported that: T Beeson [surname spelled thus] has absconded twice and after the second offence the Visitors decided that he could not be readmitted.
