Old News from Jackson's Oxford Journal, 1800

The number of early newspapers which cover Hertfordshire is low so I decided to look at the Jackson's Oxford Journal for 1800 on the British Newspaper Archive and quickly found three items (and there may be many more).
The last of these involves house breaking, sheep steeling and highway robbery and in a number of cases the transportation records are given to provide extra details
