The description makes me wish all my relatives had been tried for felony. I am related to the Clifford family whose members wer not above a touch of poaching themselves. Later they seemed to become magistrates and prosecute their neighbours.

Anne, I know what you mean! Descriptions like that are the nearest thing I have to a photo of my ancestors. Poor woman, her husband was in gaol countless times for drunkenness and assault; his descriptions include freckled arm, varicose veins, scars to various parts of his body and sores on his left posterior!! :eek: He was sentenced to five years penal servitude for "unlawfully doing grievous bodily harm to his wife" (not sure when this was ever 'lawful'), including a spell in Millbank Prison.
