Don,
Are you sure the plea rolls cover criminal matters. From memory the plea
rolls cover only civil cases, i.e. individuals suing one another for all
sorts of reasons from breach of promise to marry through to breaches of
contract etc but it is a long time since I have examined such things.
Regards,
Mark
