The luddite centenary blog(http://ludditebicentenary.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/30th-may-1812-results-sentencing-of.html) quotes a Report dated Wednesday 30th May 1812 which details crimes and punishment of a number men involved in luddite activities. Extracted from the above Blog: A Calendar of the accused, their alleged offences, and the outcome of the trials can be found in the Home Office papers, and I have summarised the details as follows: For taking an unlawful oath at Etchells on 6th April 1812: John Bradshaw (33) a weaver from Etchels; John Garner (20) a weaver from Stockport; William Bennett (21) a weaver from Stockport. Garner & Bennett acquitted & discharged. Bradshaw guilty, transported for 7 years. ----------------------------------------------------------------  Wednesday eleven convicts from our county Gaol were sent off from thence to the Hulks, at Woolwich, viz. Colin Lindon, James Wilson, alias Roach, and  Foster Roach, transported for life; James Crossland, 14 years; James Bennett, Thomas Whittaker, the incendiary, for administering an unlawful oath; John Bradshaw, Thomas Burgess, Thomas Etchells, alias Brunt, and Samuel Lees, transported 7 years each.  The whole of the above were concerned in the late riots in this county. Chester Courant, 30 June 1812.
