The imperial edict empowered them "to chastise, degrade, denounce, and deliver over heretics to the secular judges for punishment; to make use of gaols, and to make arrests, without ordinary warrant, but merely with notice given to a single counselor, who was obliged to give sentence according to their desire, without application to the ordinary judge."
"Unless what?" "You helped Mrs. O'Guire and her children, if she has any." His mouth went into its old hard lines, and he sat silent for a time. "It's no good talking about that," he said presently. "The best thing I can do for them is not to think about them I'd be after them again if I do if I could find them. Help them? No. I'd rather give the money to the Government to build gaols.
Give us your hand why, man, it's doggish cold." "Cold hand, healthy heart. How many men will Rullecour bring?" "Two thousand; mostly conscripts and devil's beauties from Granville and St. Malo gaols." "Any signals yet?" "Two from Chaussey at five o'clock. Rullecour 'll try to land at Gorey. Come, let's be off. Delagarde's there now." The boy stiffened with horror his father was a traitor!
The duke of Cumberland invested Carlisle with his whole army on the twenty-first day of December, and on the thirtieth the garrison surrendered on a sort of capitulation made with the duke of Richmond.

Pulteney that at Shrewsbury he usually went by the name of "Young Pulteney." Much of his attention was from this time occupied with the surveys and repairs of roads, bridges, and gaols, and the supervision of all public buildings under the control of the magistrates of the county.
I am quite sure it is the case in some gaols, in which, unless a turnkey will do this, he will never get promotion, or a rise in his salary, nor have his rent paid, &c. &c.
Where has it been for near two years? The Habeas Corpus Act suspended, the gaols crowded, the steamers searched, spies listening at shebeen shops for sedition, and the end of it a Fenian panic in England. Oh, before it be too late, before more blood stain the pages of our present history, before we exasperate and arouse bitter animosities, let us try and do justice to our sister land.
