In those days, one could be transported for stealing a sheep. Times have changed :-)

Thanks SatNav.

Couldn't have been a very nice person receiving that sort of sentence.

Once again - Thanks

Could some kind person please check the criminal register on Ancestry and advise me what Ellis Moritt's conviction and sentence was. Date of trial March 1876.

Thank you
