Thank you!! I had a rough idea where it was but that’s really helpful in pinning it down.Here's a map from 1889...

...Lancaster Street is still there but it has been widened where the Red Lion was and Brick Kiln St no longer exists either.
You've probably already seen it but there is a newspaper article about the incident in the Bham Daily Post 3 Sep 1873.
I have seen the newspaper article, it makes quite gruesome reading. I also have a photo (well, mug shot) of Benjamin courtesy of the West Midlands Police Museum, and have found details of several other convictions - he was certainly an unsavoury character.
