Hello Listers Can anyone help please with the trial place/building for the assizes when held at Essex (Chelmsford) 1801 and is it possible to get a newspaper account of the trial for John King, he was transported on the Perseus 1802, and I think he was held on the Capacity Hulk, at Portsmouth. Has anyone had any success in finding out more about this particular hulk please Cheers Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, I think the hulk at Portsmouth might have been the Captivity hulk. His trial date was 9 March 1801 and he was given life. Another researcher might be able to advise regarding the trial account.
