Evidence: | Newgate Prison: Visiting the cells:
'In another cell we saw a respectable looking man in middle life, seated at his table with his head leaning on his hand, and copious manuscripts spread before him. On seeing us approach, he appeared to be a little sensitive. He was dressed in a fine black coat and vest, and light trousers. He was charged with obtaining goods to the enormous amount of ?12,000, and represented himself to be a merchant.' |
