1836 Leicester/Boro(ugh) Quarter Sessions

[MC]

17 Oct 1836 Richard Standing aka Stanley was tried at the Leicester/Bor(ugh) Quarter Sessions.  He was found guilty and transported 8 Oct 1837 'Recovery'. His wife Sarah and 2 children were in Leicester at the same time.

Is anyone able to find out any details regards Richard's court case?  Plus, what happened to his wife and family? Richard said to be native of Devon (Ruckleford??- writing hard to read, so  hope other material reveals the place he was born more clearly) his occupation was woolcomber. I don't know where he married/had his children/ or lived, at the time of his offence. Any advice or help much appreciated.
 :)thanks MC

Oh sorry CaroleW & Toni
After putting up my post, I realised how late it was and trotted off to bed. Firstly, convict papers says he was 33 when he arrived (in 1837) and I have him being 40 in 1848 so his DOB could be anything from 1803 - 1808 & yes he was sentenced to 7yrs. I was interested in finding other material that might help clarify his place of his birth, as the name of the place is very hard to discern.

Don't know anything more about Sarah and children but located this after posting last night. A Richard Stanning or Flanning married a Sarah Whithall at St Mary's Leicester, Leicester Eng., in 1824 so I am following that one up, because if it is him, that could mean that he moved to Leicester prior to his marriage.

He was accused of being in possession of stolen woollen rollings (?) so that suggests he was working as woolsorter or similar, at time of conviction, as that was his occupation.
Just looking for extra confirmation
Thanks MC
