I have been searching through the British Newspaper Archive website for records for a James Fynes who defrauded the North-Eastern Railway Company by presenting a dodgy cheque for £5 in payment for a 1s (shilling) rail ticket, and requiring change of £4 19s. The case was heard at the Berwick Quarter Sessions in April 1906, and according to the newspaper article, the defendant was found guilty and sentenced to six months hard labour. I would welcome advice on where I can find the records of the Berwick Quarter Sessions from April 1906, and also where there might be records of James Fynes' incarceration for the six months hard labour. Where would people be sent to in order to serve their hard labour sentence? Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Geoff Fynes Sandhurst, Gloucester
