While searching for some local information I found an online archive for sentences handed down to local miscreants in 1839, poor William Parry got 1 month inside for neglecting to milk a cow, what can I say about the 2 Elizas - </snigger>

What is really sad is how many were sentenced to hard labour for stealing small amounts of food, and how young some were, 11 years old sentenced to 1 month hard labour for running away from the workhouse the same sentence handed down to a man who beat up his wife.
