Hi All,

On the National Library of Wales web site I found several searchable databases. One which may be of interest was "Crimes and Punishment" contains details about trials conducted at the Court of Great Sessions 1730-1830. Details include crime, location, date of offence, victim, where captured & sentence. The lady I was looking for was listed, her sentence was death for stealing clothes and cloth, thankfully she was pardoned and transported for 7 years.
