I have an ancestor Janet Ainsworth Wilkinson born 1860. On Ancestry there is an entry under her married name of Janet Ainsworth Bell...Court, Land, Wills & Financial results. If somebody would tell me what it says please I would be very grateful.

Janet Ainsworth Bell
in the Lancashire, England, Quarter Session Records and Petitions, 1648-1908
Name: Janet Ainsworth Bell
Event Date: 1889
Event Place: Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Residence Place: Southport
Session: Epiphany
Quarter Session Place: Liverpool
Record Type: Petitions
Year Range: 1889
Reference Information: QSP 4294/1-65

It's a record of payments paid to witnesses (one of whom was Janet) in the case against William Duncalf for housebreaking.

Janet was paid 3s 6d for one day, plus 3s 4d railway fare.


ADDED:
Looking up William Duncalf separately, I see he was sentenced to 8 months imprisonment for housebreaking and larceny.
