Here are four 'ACCUSED' cases from the below listed site. WOW - pretty tough in those days. Present days law is much more considerate. I understand ' Transportation - Life' as meaning being sent to Australia for life but what does 'Outlawed and put to the horn' mean ????? Doug Young Accused Alexander Kelby, Address: [Barnslas]. Entry relating to the crime of forgery. Date of trial: 9 Sep 1803, Verdict: Outlawed, Verdict Comments: Outlaw and fugitive, Sentence: Outlawed and put to the horn Accused James Myres. Entry relating to the crime of theft and housebreaking. Date of trial: 11 Sep 1802, Verdict: Guilty, Sentence: Transportation - Life Accused William Carson, weaver, Address: Irvine, Ayrshire.

Hi There folks, Having seen all the differentvbariants for some names posted on this list, has anyone ever come across a variation of the female name Alithea? It's not a Scottish family, but everyone seems to like a challenge on this list so I wondered if anyone could help, I'm looking for this lady in the 1851 Census, she was born in Herefordshire, and the 1861 Census has her happily married to a George Jones (born c 1832), I have an 1864 birth certificate which gives her maiden name as Alithea Henner, but I can't find her in the 1851 census under either name, so my assumption is that either the numerator didn't put it down right (which is going to cause real problems) or it is under another name, or she never got recorded .... Any ideas??
