John Byrne - 'Commitment for penalty and costs'

[heywood]

Welcome to Rootschat, Bob.
You can see snippets on Find My Past newspapers and also the same shows at British Newspaper Archives. http://www.rootschat.com/links/01u23/

There may be more detail, but I do not have full access.

I would post original but this post does not allow attachments. The snippet already posted continues -

"... September last. PC Frost having proved the charges against them, the Bench ordered each one to pay 5s and costs, or in default seven days".

First, a warm (albeit belated) welcome to Rootschat

I found an article on a relative who committed a crime and could  pay a fine or be locked up.I found walsall archives had booklet with the court cases for the magistrates cases.he did n't pay up and was locked up for a period of time. The commence was committed in walsall. So it could be in a local archive.There's hardly anything entered though. Also i have seen some collections on i think ancestry.
