14 November 1857 There is an account of his offence, with a more specific description of the crime, in the Birmingham Journal Saturday 14 November 1857 p.7 col.5: A HARDENED YOUNG THIEF. - Thomas Everall [surname spelled thus], a boy living in Little Bow Street, and who has been several times an inmate of the Borough Gaol, was brought up charged with stealing 18s from the till in the house of Mr W Suffield, boarding-house keeper, Suffolk Street. On the preceding night, Ann Holloway, a female in Mr Suffield's service, found the boy in the bar, about eight o'clock. The till was open, and the contents minus 18s, which was safe a few minutes before. The prisoner, who had evidently handed the money to some companions outside, was detained, and given in charge. In defence, the young thief said "he went into the bar to enquire the price of dripping per pound." Mr Wills sentenced him to twenty-one days imprisonment, and three years' confinement in a Reformatory school.
1 December 1860 discharged on expiration of detention. Went home - 8 house Five Dwellings, Tonk Street
