>From 2nd March to 6th April seems to have been pretty quick 'justice' - these days it seems to take about 18 months to even get to Court!

I know of the existence of one other. *Bucks County Records Office states that Miles Weatherhill was sentenced for murder - 9th March 1868. The Times of that date p.10 col (d). He was executed on 6th April 1868. Miles returned to Todmorden on 2nd March 1868, broke into the vicarage and killed the vicar, the vicar's baby daughter, and Jane Smith, a servant. He was tried and hanged at Manchester jail in 1868. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED]
