Elizabeth Fry relates that in New- gate Prison, **in four rooms, not over large, were found crowded three hundred women, many of them hav- ing with them their children, tried, and other untried, with only one man and one woman to take charge of them by night and day. Though military sentinels woe posted on the roof, such was the pie- vailing lawlessness axnoikg tteae women that the Governor of the Prison entered that department iritfa reluctance, and advised the ladia.tb lay aside their watches... before going in. In the Women's Department, the railing was crowded with half- naked women struggling together for the front situation with the most boisterous violence, and begging with the utmost vociferation. I fell as if I were going into a den of wild beasts, and shuddered when the door was closed upon me." Then it was a capital offence to steal from a person or from a shop an article of the value of five shil- lings, or from a dwelling or vessel on a navigable river an article of the value of forty shillings.
