Wales / Understanding court documents from 1890
« on: Tuesday 09 April 24 12:14 BST (UK) »
The attached is from 'The Swansea Prison: Nominal Registers: Men 1890-1893' on Ancestry.
I wonder if anyone can help me understand the abbreviations?
Under the column for 'Education' what I think says 'Iwp' - it may of course say something else and I have not read it correctly!
Also, under the column for 'Sentence' - does HL stand for hard labour? If so any ideas what this might consist of in 1890 Wales?
Thanks for reading
