Halaman 223 - Magistrate will be more effectual to attain the object proposed, than any efforts, however well intended, of separated and disunited individuals.

Halaman 104 - The prisoners being liberated, the next step taken was that of setting the prison on fire ; and a black handkerchief having been tied to the weathercock on the top of the porter's lodge over the gateway, it seemed to be the signal for commencing operations; for immediately after, dense clouds of smoke were seen to issue from every part of the building. The flames began to break out from the tread-mill, where the rioters had collected the straw of the wards and set fire to it — this burnt with fury...
