Is anyone able to tell me, please, what would have been the likely sentence for someone having stolen a great-coat in 1823? Thanks Cynthia

Bob BERRY of Chesterfield was transported for nicking a great coat but he also took a plaid cloth as well. That was 1807, but in 1823 lesser things stolen got you passage down under. See Yesterdays site under Transportation beyond the seas. mike On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 10:11 PM, B and C Kimpton <bandckimpton@kinect.co.nz>wrote: > Is anyone able to tell me, please, what would have been the likely sentence > for someone having stolen a great-coat in 1823? > > Thanks > > Cynthia > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > DERBYSGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message > -- http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm
