Hi I think I have just found that Isaac parry lunt is related my husbands side of the family. What did he do?
Hi and welcome to the forum. You will find a number of articles about this man in the old newspapers, available online as well as in the Record Office.
One of the newspaper items I have found is from the Police Guardian dated 6 August 1892
At the Liverpool Assizes on Friday morning before Mr. Justice Grantham, the prisoners Alexander Wilson and Isaac Parry Lunt, who had pleaded guilty to frauds by which they had robbed their employers, Messrs. Reynolds and Gibson, cotton brokers, or Liverpool, of sums amounting to £150,000, came up for sentence - His Lordship, in passing sentence, alluded to the magnitude of the sums dealt with, but did not consider that technically their offence was greater on that score. In Wilson's case also he felt that with the exception of Lunt, his superior and co-offender, there was a want of surveillance, and as a result it was more easy for him to do wrong acts than should ahve been the case. He believed in the prisoner's expressions of regret and penitence, but he felt that he would not be doing his duty if he passed a less sentence than that of penal servitude. The sentence upon Wilson would be one of three years, and upon Lunt one of four years penal servitude.
