ive found a criminal record for John Morrallee dating 4 dec 1858.
The offence looks like it says 'The Like' and where it says acquitted or or discharged it states 'No Bill'.

Can anyone please help me on this?

''The like'' must mean ditto from the one two places above?

Larceny from the person....stealing from someone else rather than housebreaking or burglary?

and ''no bill'' I take to mean no evidence presented or similar??

Interesting that the top corner is blanked out for the offenders above??

I googled "no bill"

the references I found all seem to refer to AMERICAN law ..............


............ and it seems to mean not enough evidence to convict.
