Notes:

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
Sentence 2 - 25 May 1861 There is a report of the crime in Aris's Birmingham Gazette Saturday 25 May 1861 p.5 col.2: A JUVENILE THIEF. -A lad of 14, named Thomas Everill, was charged at the Public Office yesterday with stealing a silver watch, the property of Mr. James Cressy, Insurance Buildings, Moor Street. On Wednesday last the prisoner went to the house of the prosecutor, where his mother was in the habit of going to work, and during the temporary absence of the inmates, he stole a watch from the kitchen mantel-shelf. He was apprehended the next morning by Detective Kelly, who found the watch in his pocket. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The lad had been previously convicted, and as it appeared that he had only recently been discharged from the Reformatory at Saltley, where he had been confined for three years, Mr. Kynnersley deferred sentence for a week, in order to make some enquiries of the Master of that establishment.
