Esther was tried at the Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey) in London, and these records are available online at http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?id=def1-833-184403... What info are you after that you don't already know? I had a look at your tree and it needs a bit of attention!! I doubt that Esther's mother was born in America in 1843, and if she was giving birth to Esther around 1820, it is biologically impossible for her to be the daughter of Thomas born 1813.

You will need to check the parish registers for Pangbourn in Berkshire to confirm a baptism to these parents. Check with the Berkshire FHS for indexes, or you can order the microfilm through your local LDS family history centre or family history society. There was a marriage between a Thomas Boraston and Ann Mountford at Manchester in Lancashire in 1809.

Hiya,
Esther was sentenced to 10years on 4th March 1844.

I would think she may be 20yo Hester Boraston (listed as Beraston)living with 20yo Eliza Boraston in the 1841 census
Brightwell Baldwin, Oxfordshire (states they were not born in that county)
