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.
