Can anyone please tell me if there was a newspaper that covered court cases held in Skipton in and around 1853.
Trying to find out more about a David Simpson who was sentenced to 2 months imprisonment for larceny.
As the doc does not give age or anything else I cannot be sure if he is my David or not 
Is there anywhere else that might have more details on court cases?
Please ! 
regards
Margaret

Margaret:
This is the earliest which I have come across:
The first newspaper, which commenced publication in December 1852, was the Skipton Advertiser and Monthly Recorder (prop. John Garnett). The Craven Herald, produced in 1853 by a printer named Robert Tasker, appeared monthly with a circulation of several hundred copies. Early issues contained a timetable of rail services that linked Skipton with Lancaster and Colne. The audience heard that the flat-bed press on which early issues of the newspaper were printed might be seen at the entrance to the Craven Museum at Skipton.
The Herald, enlarged to broadsheet size in 1857, had a short life. Tasker was debarred from newspaper production on becoming the Skipton postmaster. That year, the West Riding Pioneer was founded, promoting Liberalism. The Conservatives, keen to re-assert their cause, and to provide a counterbalance, set up a company that revived the Craven Herald. John Dawson, a keen supporter of the Temperance movement, ran a journal called The Home Visitor.

Margaret, I found a list of convict names that you gave from your book. I believe the William Dodwell is in my family line. My William was born about 1829 in England. Would you be so kind as to give me any information you can about him? I have come to a dead end with him and found he had two sons in Australia, which led me to your book. This is my first effort to post something like this, so I hope I am doing it right! Thank you ever so much for any information you might be able to give me. Cathleen Garrett

Hi Cathleen,
you would have been better to have replied in the aussie forum where I put the info in, but since it is your first time I will forgive you. 
Welcome to Rootschat.
I will have a look and send you a personal message with the details.
Margaret
