31 May 1865 There is a short report of the crime in the Wolverhampton Chronicle and Staffordshire Advertiser Wednesday 31 May 1865 p.5 col.5: A young thief, named Martin Kilgollen [surname spelled thus], who has been before the Bench on two or three previous occasions, was charged with having stolen a dagger from the caravan of a travelling dealer in hardware goods, named John Boyle, better known as "Cheap John." The case was clearly proved, and as the prisoner had been already convicted of felony, the Stipendiary sentenced him to fourteen days' imprisonment, and afterwards to be sent to a reformatory for five years.
