Enclosed is a copy of entries from Warwick Assizes held in 1873. From reading lots of blurb and Janice's input from another thread, I understand why Birmingham offenders were taken to Warwick before 1887 but I'm having trouble with the headings of this document. Can anyone enlighten me please?
Penal servitude - is this 'hard labour'?
Imprisonment - would the prisoner be brought back to Birmingham gaol? If so, would there be any records in Birmingham Archives?
Term of Police Supervision - is this in addition to the penal servitude?
