Description (What the record is about)
-
Report of William Henry Ashhurst on William Cook, George Ansty, John Sorrow and John Newcomb, convicted at the Coventry Summer Assizes in 1792, on 2 indictments of riot and assault, against Thomas Jackson, Lord Aylesford's gamekeeper; and against John Haynes. The judge considered 'that Riots were Dangerous things in such a Town as Coventry'. Grounds for clemency: the men being apprentices and journey men Lord Aylesford has received applications on their behalf, Aylesford himself is satisfied they have been punished long enough for example, the 2 sheriffs of Coventry had asked for the sentence to be shortened and the men had behaved well during their confinement. Initial sentence: 3 months imprisonment on each indictment (the second to begin at the end of the first). Recommendation: remission of the second set of 3 months. Folios 236-237.
