Hi there,

I am not Maddy,  but I am in New South Wales, Australia and my library card from the National Library if Australia gives me access (e resources) to many historic digitised newspapers. 

Maddy has transcribed a newspaper cutting and cited her primary source in her post.   :)

Thanks JM, that's correct.

Kylie, I search online (free) British Library Newspapers using my Australian National Library card. Not sure if you are in Australia? You can apply for a library card here:

You can also search newspapers at various paid sites eg Ancestry, findmypast, British Newspaper Archive etc.  :)

Thanks JM. I'm aware of the NSW State archives, I've searched those one's before. I was trying to work out how to access the British Newspaper archives, which I've noticed maddys52 has commented with below. I'm really wanting to try to find the information on what he was charged with. I have previously found a transcription on the Assizes for another convict ancestor of mine, I was hoping to find something similar for Abbott.
