The Kensington News and West London Times, 9 September 1882, Henry Sleeper, Baker, living in Wellington-road, Bridge-road, Hammersmith, was re-examined on the charge of embezzling money belonging to Frederick Weinel, of Spencer-terrace, Shepherd's-bush.

Chelsea News, 2 Feb 1878 Kensington and Chelsea, London, reports William Sleeper, aged 12, an imbecile, is eligible for removal to the Asylum at Clapton, should there be a vacancy.
