I received this reply in response to my query about the Warwick Assizes relevant to my Tasmanian convict. Bright Blessings Sandie List Administrator Warwickshire County Record Office Priory ParkCape Road WARWICKCV34 4JS Website: <www.warwickshire.gov.uk.countyrecordoffice (subscript: my ref 01052002/RAG/T) Dear Ms Playle, Thank you for your email of 30 April 2002 asking for information contained in the Spring Assizes for Warwick 1802. Unfortunately the records of trials on the Midland Circuit were destroyed by a clerk in the 19th century and do not exist earlier than 1860. The Assizes were reported in local newspapers. As the Warwick Advertiser didnot start until 1806 the best newspaper is Aris's Birmingham Gazette. Although it reports only a few selected cases at each Assize it is worth trying. A set is available at the Birmingham Reference Library,Chamberlain Square, Birmingham B3 3HQ.I wish you well with your research. Yours sincerely Rosalind Green (Mrs) Principal Archives Assistant
