These seem to be the order books and Petitions referred to by the Lancashire Archives , and are under the heading:
Lancashire, England, Quarter Session Records and Petitions, 1648-1908
Order books, 1859 (no detailed date shown)
James FREEMAN, appearing in Court in the custody of the Keeper of the House of Correction at Salford aforesaid and having, at this Session been convicted of Larceny from person and having been previously convicted of Felony, this Court doth order and direct that the said James FREEMAN be kept in penal servitude for the term of six years pursuant to the statute in such case made and provided.
Also a statement that the cost of prosecuting James FREEMAN in 1859 was 9 pounds, 3 shillings and 6 pence
There is a bill presented by the Prosecutor for his work (Salford February Quarter Session, 1860) in the trial of James FREEMAN and James WILCOCK for the crime of "larceny from the person".
And two others for the prosecution of James FREEMAN for the crime of "larceny from the person", dated Salford October Session, 1860
England & Wales, Criminal Registers, 1791-1892 have these records:
15 February 1860 at Salford
James FREEMAN, larceny from a person, before convicted of a felony - acquitted
22 October 1860 at Salford
James FREEMAN, larceny from a person, before convicted of a felony - 6 years
I can't find a record of the "Felony" that he was convicted of prior to these mentions unless it is the 1859 court appearance but there's no record that I can see on this register of the 1859 charge.
