Records of Gloucester Assizes - James Whittington (General)

Hello Mike
That is very interesting. Yes, Harriet Whittington was the one living in Newland Incline with her family in 1851.
I had wondered if her husband James had been transported because he just disappears after 1841/2, but I have not previously found any records to substantiate this. The newspaper report looks promising. Are the records of the Hereford Times and any other local papers available online?
Harriet's son James could have been the one accused of assault. He would have been about 13 at the time.
Thank you for your help,
Lesley
