What is this crime from 1818?
« on: Sunday 13 March 11 01:20 GMT (UK) »
Under the crime column for this criminal register from Nottingham (1818) is written a word (I assume an abbreviation), with a big bracket for nine individuals. The rest of the page is very neatly written, in I think a different hand. The sentences were varied - some transported, some imprisoned for 3 months, some acquitted. No surprises that my relative was one of the transported ones.

I have a couple of ideas what it could be, but would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks!

You did say in the crime column did you??  :-\

Felony  is my guess.  Funny scrawl to write it though!

Are judges as poor writers as Drs?   ::)

Shame it's in a different hand. A larger sample would be useful.

It is so carelessly written that either suggestion so far seems
very reasonable, but I can see a cross bar on the first letter,
so will go with Wiggy's 'Felony'.

Good question Evie - then he could be traced via the convict lists!

Thank you everybody - I thought it might be Felony too. On all the previous pages, the crime for each individual was written out - and 9 out of 10 were for Larceny. That made me wonder whether this one was as well.

Now I look at it again, I think it was the same hand, as the 'F' is very similar to that on 'Frecknell'.

I've attached a larger part of the page - I am researching Thomas Frecknell near the bottom of the page.
