Finding details of ancestor's trial at Chester Assizes in 1847

Question

Are there any web-sites with English criminal records from 19th century available?

It's almost easier to ask which search-sites don't have collections of English criminal records. For example, Ancestry has the collection England & Wales, Criminal Registers, 1791-1892 which may include the records you are looking for. — sempaiscuba, Commented Jun 17, 2022 at 11:56
Would the county council (Chester) have any addditional records in analog form ie papers which they dont put on-line? — j kovacs, Commented Jun 17, 2022 at 12:10

If any case papers do survive, then they should be at the National Archives in the ASSI series.
