William Jefferies

[4] Five weeks later, on 29 September, Jefferies played against Sheffield Cricket Club at Mansfield.

[5] Jefferies appeared in a minor match for Nottingham in 1801[5] and in 1803 played at Lord's for a combined Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire team against a Hampshire side.

[1] There is no further mention of Jefferies until 1814 when he played for Nottingham against Rutlandshire at Burley Park on 20 September.

[8] In June 1817, Nottingham entertained an England XI on the Forest Ground, fielding 22 players in an "odds match".

Jefferies scored 2 and 5 and although Nottingham won the match became the cause of a major scandal,[9] with implications of attempts by both sides to fix the result.
