Court record 1880 deciphering help needed
« on: Friday 02 March 12 16:50 GMT (UK) »
Im trying to dechipher what the punishment was for GEORGINA HOWARD who appeared in Clerkenwall court 8 Aug 1880 charged with larceny & receiving. All I can make out in the sentence column is that it starts with 'Husband.....

She appears 4th from bottom of the page.

Whatever it is seems unusual as other people on the same page with similar offences got sent to prison.

Sorry for the size of the image,first time Ive posted an image on here  :-\

Does it have a '£25' or '25th' mentioned in it?
I agree 'for judgement'
Also wondered if second word said 'programme'
last line 'when offered it or one '?

It doesn't really make sense though but I offer them, as like everyone else enlarging the entry just blurred everything!

Looking again am not convinced by anything apart from the 25!!

Thanks for the help everyone. If it does say "Husband's Recognizance - £25 to produce Prisoner for Judgment when ..?.." does anyone know what that means in basic english as I dont understand it?

Thanks again  :)
