What newspapers were in print for the city of London during the above time period? I'm looking specifically for an article/s regarding a William Innes, of West Port, Dundee, prisoner received from Edinburgh on March, 23, 1822 aboard the Bellephon; he was discharged to the Retribution on April 14, 1823, and pardoned November 4, 1825. These Bellephon and Retribution were two prison hulks, moored at Woolwich, which appears to be near London. (REF: U.K. Prison Hulk Registers and Letter Books.) This man was one of my ancestors and was tried in Perth in January 1822 for utterance, sentenced to 7 years transportation. I've ordered the court records from Edinburgh, but would like to see how I might find out what happened to him after his release. I doubt he would have had money, and may have had to work before going back to Dundee. (If, he in fact did go back to Dundee; that is not clear .... I don't really know what happened to him, so am looking for any clues. Thank you! Marilyn DC

Marilyn I've sent you a couple of reports from the Caledonian Mercury regarding his trial. There was no reference in that paper to his pardon and I suspect the case would not have been big enough to make the London papers, though I will look again later.
