A note about the index
The column "Alleged Offence" is the offence for which the person was charged. Researchers need to check additional court records (where they survive) to determine the outcome of a trial and whether the person was found guilty or not guilty. Further research may also be carried out using gaol records if the individual served a prison sentence.
