Staffordshire quarter sessions 1842
« on: Monday 12 May 08 07:45 BST (UK) »
I was wondering if SKS has access to any court or newspaper reports of this period.

I am researching William Osborne who was tried at he Satffordshire Quarter sessions in April 1842 and sentenced on the 6th of April to 7 years transportation.

All I have been able to find out is that the crime was stealing tools. Any additional inforamtion would be welcomed.

He was born c 1826 in Leek.

He was transported as an exile on the Maitland in 1846.

Hi Robyn,
 It might be worth you emailing the William Salt Library, in Stafford.
 I recently asked them if they could look somethng up for me in the Staffordshire Advertiser, which was probably the main newspaper at that time in the area, and because I had a definite date they looked within a few days of the date given.
Just checked - The Staffordshire Advertiser was circulating at that time.
The email address is:
william.salt.library at staffordshire.gov.uk
* replace at with @
Hope this helps + good luck.
Kind regards,
Paulene Smiley
