Thank you Alan,
Wilts FHS is the place to go. I also tried Findmypast as it seems some Wilts data is on there but I had no luck.
Having read the newspaper report of the Swindon Police Court, it does leave me with questions about the trial.
Appreciate the input,
Regards,
Rog

I just thought I would have one final try at this brickwall. Before I buy the Summary of Convictions CD I would be most grateful if anyone with the CD can tell me what I can expect to find and whether it contains data for individuals from 1879 to 1881.
Thank you,

I have an ancestor who was convicted at Swindon Police Court in 1880 and sentenced to 28 days hard labour. Would the subject CD contain any information about this?
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

Thank you, youngtug,
Quite a bit for me to go through.
Can't find any records of prisoners though. My miscreant was only there 28 days (as far as I know) from mid March 1880 so would not show on 1881 census.

Thank you, KGarrad.
Rather more general than I am looking for, but an interesting read nevertheless.

Wiltshire / Devizes Jail 1880
« on: Thursday 09 January 14 08:00 GMT (UK) »
I have a possible ancestor who was sentenced in 1880 at Swindon Police Court to serve 28 days hard labour at Devizes jail.
What does hard labour entail? Are there differences beween hard labour for a male and female prisoner?
I have been in touch with Wilts Archives to try and discover details of Devizes prisoners in 1880 but they do not have these records.
I would be most grateful for any help.

A further thought. 
Have you considered, beside Alice's poss death, that she remarried?
