Hi Guys, Im not really sure where to start my search on this one.
Ive been reading my 2x great grandfather JOHN PATRICK FARRELL's Military record, and it seems he was arrested for assault in 1898. So I have a few questions, as a military man is he still going to have gone to standard prison? or will he have gone to a military prison or such? From the scrawley writing it appears to say
IN ARREST C.P
SENTENCE 4 CAL
MOS FOR ASSAULT
What does C.P mean I wonder? Clearly he's got 4 months, I presume Hard Labour?, it says he forefeited pay, and the arrest was 22/8/1898, he is then under police custody 31/8/1898 and returns to military on 31/12/1898, the event was added and signed by the Major, so im guessing its a big deal for him, but not enough to be kicked out.
How do I go about finding records of this trial etc? I believe its in Manchester, but am unsure, he appears to have been with the 2nd battallion Manchester regiment and then on 23/1/1898 is transferred and it then says A.R until 1902 when the column says Manchester again. I will attach the image, if anyone can help me decifer this and find the records of the trial I will love you forever! haha, thanks for the help! I see that ancestry only has until 1892, and a findmypast search didnt show anything up for me, he was
