1841. Wording in remarks: on criminal record.

[John Bell]

Hi all,

Could anyone please help in deciphering the first word/words on the first and third lines.
It is part of a criminal record listed on the Home Office Register of Criminal Petitions in the "Remarks" column, dated 1841.

My interest is in the convict in the third line down.
The rest of the sentence reads;
 ?? Recommended Parkhurst. 41. 29. Parkhurst 2 February 1841. (This refers to him being transferred from St Albans to Parkhurst Prison in 1841).

Regards,
John.

similar abbreviation used in many NSW documents in that era.   
Transfer
Transferred
Transfers

so 2^d Tfs recom^d Parkhurst
Second Transfer recommended Parkhurst

etc 

Cheers,  JM

Thanks for that JM, make sense to me.
Regards,
John.

It reads...

Q^r Sess. recom^d. Parkhurst = Quarter Sessions recommended Parkhurst

(the Quarter Sessions being the place of trial)

[arthurk]

I agree with Bookbox - the first letter is upper case Q in some styles of handwriting.

[majm]

Yes, that could well be "Q^r" and "Sess" 

Cheers,  JM

oops, I'm a bit late, but was going to suggest Q^r too (I used to wrote my copperplate Qs like that) ... then an S (had no idea about the meaning though and was not sure on the rest of it)
