10 April 1867 There is a report of a previous offence in the Derby Mercury Wednesday 10 April 1867 p.6 col.3: Peter Grimadel [surname spelled thus], aged seven years, and William Grimadel, aged eleven years, were brought up charged with stealing, on the 28th ultimo, 5s. 6d. from the till of the shop occupied by Mr. George Broster, High-street. The younger prisoner went into the shop as soon as the prosecutor's daughter had gone into the house, and had it not been for Mr. Broster happening to look through the kitchen window, the young thieves would have escaped with their booty. The younger prisoner was caught just as he was leaving the counter. When searched by police-constable Evans, 5s. 6d. was found in his possession. The prisoner not only admitted this charge but confessed to having visited the prosecutor's shop on the day previous, when 15s. was missed. The Chairman addressed the prisoners' father. and advised him to take greater pains in teaching them honesty and good behaviour. The elder prisoner was ordered to be whipped by an officer in the presence of the younger.
