Cheshire / Chester Castle Goal / Assizes
« on: Sunday 25 March 18 10:56 BST (UK)  »
My Great Grandfather, John Jefferies, appeared at Chester Assizes (6 December 1860) for trial on a charge of Assaulting a Gamekeeper to avoid his lawful apprehension. John was found guilty and sentenced to a term of imprisonment.  It would appear that he also received lashes will in prison.  However; I am unable to read the record properly, or find anything further about the case or even the prison.
