Criminal history
« on: Thursday 17 October 24 04:42 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help me complete the missing words I have from this criminal history in 1861?

Here's what I have so far:

1857, December Sessions, as Ja. Kilpatrick steal [?] aquitted.
1858, March 27, as Ja. Fitzpatrick ditto [?] 7 days 18+19 [?]
1858, June 3, intend to commit felony 21 days ditto

The link to this image is here (https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=TNA%2FCCC%2FPCOM2%2F334%2F00090&parentid=TNA%2FCCC%2F2B%2FPCOM2%2F01208910). I haven't managed to find the individual convictions.

I'm also not sure what the second image refers to, this time it is in regards to the 1861 conviction.


Any help anyone can provide is much appreciated, thank you.  :)

Hi
Looks like Mr Kilpatrick was accused of stealing a parrot - see attached excerpt from the Liverpool Mercury. Mind you, the article is dated Dec 30 1851. I think what looks like 1857 in your document is actually 1851 - the bar that makes the 1 look like a 7 is from the preceding 5.
At least Kilpatrick didn't have to do any bird this time.  ;)

Thank you both for your help.  :)

The news paper report is a great find! I've had trouble tracing James and his family, as they keep seeming to switch between the two surnames, so you've helped a lot, thank you very much.  :)
