I also found an ancestor in Perth Prison in the 1851 Census - Alexander Black aged 48 b1803 Liberton, Edinburgh.  Unfortunately I too have been unable to find any information on why he should be there, he died in January 1878 in a Pit Accident in Fife.

I actually got back to Sheila on this one in a private message - looked when I was in Archives on Monday, but problems on their system meant that I couldn't get hold of the actual documents that day. Will try again after New Year break. However, did get more info on actual charge. I'm new at this chat system, and not sure what is and isn't allowed to be published on general chat so can send you private message if you want?
