  • 1 Sometimes persons were indicted with committing more than one offence on the same indictment, or a person was indicted with one offence whilst others were indicted with committing another offence on the same indictment. In order to include cases such as these in the database as separate offences a notional number was created in the document number field. All notional numbers are four digit numbers followed by a tilde (~). For example, 1000~ for the first indictment carrying a notional number within a single gaol file, 1001~ for the second, and so on. The 'Offence: further details' field will include a note to the effect that the document reference number is a notional one, followed by the correct document reference number.<br /> <br /> Note also that some offenders were indicted two or three times for the same offence: this can distort any statistical analysis. To locate such cases search free text in the 'Further offence details' field for 'Indicted twice' and 'Indicted three'.
