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
