Middlesex quarter sessions of Peace records 27 May 1805

[Bottlebrush]

I am trying to find some information about the conviction of Mary Miller at the Middlesex Quarter Sessions of Peace on 27th May 1805. She was sentenced to 7 years transportation and arrived in Australia on 29th August 1806 on board the convict ship 'Alexander'. There are records for her as a convict here in Australia but no mention of the 'crime' she committed. Can you tell me how I can access the Quarter Sessions records given that I live in Australia and I can't find them online? Many thanks for any help - very much appreciated

Thank you both so much - what a quick reply to my query! Poor little Mary - 7 years for such a small crime. I have another convict ancestor who was sentenced to death for stealing a horse but commuted to Life in the Colonies. But nevertheless, they both made the best of their lives out here. Thanks again

Hi ShaunJ,
Can you tell me where you found the Criminal Register with the information about Mary stealing a dress? Many thanks
