HI All on the list,
My gggrandfather was sentenced in the Montgomeryshire Quarter Sessions in 1836 for
housebreaking. He was then transported to Australia some 13 months later on the James
Pattison which left from Sheerness.
Does anyone know what was the procedure, were they taken immediately to the hulks or held
for a time there. Also would there have been newspaper accounts of the trial?
