Just text my hubby with your question-to my surprise he replied, so here goes: it almost certainly means no bail, which means that the perpetrator would have been remanded in custody at the end of the case. Colette

Could this be "no petition"? There being no letter asking for a consideration of the case? Gary

I don't suppose it could mean that the police were not involved? No I don't think so either.

hi An ancestor of mine was the victim of a robbery in 1839. Amazingly a distant cousin of mine found the prosecution brief of the court case in the hands of a second hand dealer. Thanks to a SKS I found the case in the assize records at the PRO. The result was listed as 'No Bill'. Does this mean Case Dismissed or what? any help gratefully received George
