Does anyone know where I can find out more details about the crimes of Isaac Broadhurst. He was sentenced to 4 years penal servitude on 25 March 1863 at Presteigne for larceny and receiving stolen goods. He had previously been sentenced to 15 m hard labour in March 1859 for receiving stolen goods and 6m hard labour in June 1854 for theft.
I have searched the Gales newspaper site but can find not reference to any of these crimes.
I assume he was the Isaac Broadhurst born in 1828 in Leominster in Herefordshire and whose sister Sophia was transported in 1845 but it would be nice to confirm this.
