In October 1841, servant John Wood and his wife Elizabeth were brought before the court accused of three crimes.
They were servants in a house in Machynlleth.

Here is the entry in the records for one of the charges.

This writing is very hard to read, but it says:
"The Queen in the Prosecution of John Jones against the same John Wood and Elizabeth Wood late of Machynlleth parish. Simple Larceny.
Prisoner John Wood pleads Guilty.
Elizabeth Wood pleads Not Guilty."

The term "late of Machynlleth" in the above wording means that they used to live there.
