[Prisoner for Blasphemy by George William Foote]@TWC D-Link bookPrisoner for Blasphemy CHAPTER X 1/26
CHAPTER X."BLACK MARIA.". When we entered Newgate as "condemned criminals," we were theoretically under severe discipline, but the officers considerately allowed us a few minutes' conversation in the great hall before we marched to our cells.
We shook hands with Mr.Cattell, whom I rather contemptuously congratulated on his good fortune.
He went into the office to receive back his effects, and that was the last we saw of him.
