I have been transcribing an appeal from 1827 and have stuck on a few bits. Set out below is my draft and then a link to the original document.

They join in the prayer for a mitigation of punishment – but not on the grounds of the lightness of the offence as it was no other than entering a dwelling house in the dead of night and stealing there from – nor on account of any ****************** in the proceedings against the culprit ** nothing of the kind took place but on account of the distress felt by the prisoners numerous relatives who are said to be well conducted persons.
The prisoner was not in the service of the prosecutor at the time of the robbery.
Hugh Hughes and Sarah Hughes
