Newspaper look up please
« on: Wednesday 08 May 19 18:56 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am rereading through my notes and I have come across an ancestor and his brother in law who stood trial in July/August 1867 for (long story short) selling coal at a weight which it was not. I have a newspaper report from July 27th 1867 in the Hereford Journal and it says they were committed to the assizes (Staffordshire). Can anyone see anything after that please?
 
Their names were John Bowlder and Elijah Ellis, both of Wolverhampton but this happened in Hereford i think.
Many thanks in advance, Lisa

Thank you emeltom, much appreciated. Any idea where, if at all, I’d be able to see where they were gaoled or any prison records?
