27 September 1865 There is a report of the crime in the Birmingham Daily Post Wednesday 27 September 1865 p.4 col.1: JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.-Thomas Munn (15), brass filer, Holliday Street, was charged with stealing a number of cigars, value 2s. 8d., from the shop of Mr. Henry Osborn, 19, Darwin Street. About three o'clock on the previous afternoon, the wife of the prosecutor had occasion to leave the shop for a few minutes, and while she was absent the prisoner contrived to steal the cigars. She was returning, when she met the prisoner leaving the shop, and on going in missed the cigars. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was seen to hand some cigars to another lad, and he was apprehended soon after. Mr. Kynnersley said the prisoner had been previously convicted, and if he were allowed to be at large would probably become a confirmed thief. The prisoner was sentenced to twenty-one days' imprisonment, and at the end of that time to be sent to a reformatory school for four years.
