Might I suggest that you contact Liverpool Records Office and/or Liverpool Central Library to see if they have any idea of where the records for the Assizes are kept and/or available.

After all - "if you don't ask the question, then you won't get an answer!"   ;)
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Hi,

If this works I'll be amazed. His name is Alfred Potts .... the swine!

Sorry colkitto but you've got it all wrong.I suggest you read the clip again, carefully and I'm sure you'll work out what it's saying.
Cheers,

Hi Jo,
It seems the Yorkshire Jowetts were as bad as the Derbyshire lot - the bounders!! At least with the one you've found the christian name of the villain has been given but no such luck with my bloke.
As chance would have it, I have a relative in your country who has a planned visit to The National Archives coming up shortly, and she has kindly volunteered to check out the Assizes:Northern Circuit: Civil Minute books for me. With a bit of luck she'll find the B of P case I'm interested in, and with even more luck, she might find Mr Jowett's christian name - here's hoping. If this fails, I've no idea where to turn to. But, let's wait and see.

Thanks for your interest. Now I'm off ... where's me 'at?

Chanel.

I think in those days the only men to be addressed as "Mr" were property owners and businessmen - all others were addressed by surname only or had a full name.

Hello Rena,

I wasn't really using the "Mr" in a serious..... British way - perhaps the..... Aussie way?????

But, whatever, tell me his christian name is and I'll love you for life!! Where CAN I find it!!??

Good news everyone - I have the name I was after. It was found for me in the National Archives - and I am SO pleased!!

Thank you all for your help along the way. I believe I can close this thread now.
