Fonds QCR. Quarter Sessions records, 1835 - 1878
The documents filmed comprise quarterly or six-monthly returns, and reports on the returns, of the amounts paid by the treasurers of the Sussex Eastern and Western Divisions on the conveyance of prisoners under sentence of transportation. The returns list the individual convicts, showing where and when they were tried, where they were conveyed to, and the expenses incurred. The convicts were generally conveyed from the Lewes House of Correction (Eastern Division) or the Petworth House of Correction (Western Division). In the earlier years they might be sent to a number of destinations, such as Portsmouth, Pentonville Prison, or a hulk at Gosport, but after about 1845 they were always sent to Millbank Prison, London.
