Jackson's Oxford Journal (Oxford, England), Saturday, April 6, 1811; Issue 3023.
ASSIZES
At Cambridge, Richard Beavis and William Prior, the former for a burglary at Stapleford, and the latter for stealing from a dwelling house at Grantchester, were both capitally convicted and received sentence of death, but were reprieved.

For what Assize records remain, you should look at the National Archives research guides on Assizes.
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/researchguidesindex.asp - there's guides to Assizes and also transportation records.

Just doing some William Prior research myself and found the Convict records from Australia with his transportation details and his Ticket of Leave in 1830. These are attached to my Family Tree (Barklay family Tree) in Ancestry.com.au
