Pretty much the same as it is now- imprisonment or a fine, which varied according to the severity of the burglary although was usually harsher than it is today. The death penalty for theft was no longer used by then (unlike in the 18th Century, when you could be hanged for almost any offence).

In Victoria's early reign, a severe offence of theft could result in transportation to one of Britain's colonies, although not usually for your whole life.
