Ancestors - court records?

Question:I have two ancestors who were involved in a court case - one involved with the coroners court after he was found dead in a lake in 1904 and one who was at the crown court in 1869 for hitting his wife on the head with a scythe. Will there be records anywhere at what was actually said at these hearings? And, if so, where will they be?
