Ann, First let me say thanks very much for all your recent postings of NL names who spent time incarcerated in NL jails and mental institutions. May I ask if the information below is from an internet source and if you have seen the original documents of record or transcripts. If the information is taken from transcripts, can you please tell me the date that the transcripts were written. Thanks again for all your good genealogy work, It is much appreciated by those of us who are now located far from the shores of our native Land. Sincerely, Lloyd p.s. Who was the High Sheriff in 1833 and for how long did he serve NL in that position of trust.
