On 4 March 1872 the jury notified the judge that they had heard enough and were ready to reject the Claimant's suit. Having ascertained that this decision was based on the evidence as a whole and not solely on the missing tattoos, Bovill ordered the Claimant's arrest on charges of perjury and committed him to Newgate Prison. The legacy record dates the decision against the Claimant to 5 March 1872; the supplied passages date the jury's notification to 4 March but do not state the exact day of the arrest order.
