Staffordshire Advertiser, 14 Aug 1841. BURGLARY NEAR Strarvonn.—Yesterday morning week, about three men entered the house of Mr.Storer, at Gailing aley Lee, and stole from thence a large quantity of wearing apparel, and about seven o'clock four ill-looking fellows the side of were observed by a person at a distance loitering by the canal near Bloxwich Flour Mill, a mile from Walsall, having three bundles, the contents of which they seemed preparing divide amongst them; Foxall, police officer, at Bloxwich, was apprised of the circumstance, and directly followed them on horseback to Walsall, where he overtook them in Able- well- Street. On seeing Foxall, the men threw down the bundles, and endeavoured to escape, but they were secured and they were lodged in Walsall gaol soon after eight o'clock. Their names—Richard Mincher, of Kinver; Henry Shirley, from Penkridge; William Walker, and Joseph Blackham, brickmaker, from Wolverhampton—the two latter well known in the police and sessions courts. The prisoners have been committed for trial. They are young men, from twenty to twenty-five years of age. Staffordshire Advertiser, 14 Aug 1841.
