So enormous is this evil on the sabbath-day, that bands of constables patrole the streets for the purpose of clearing them of drunken men and women, whom they consign to the "lock-up." These constables, by the way, are extremely brutal in their manner of handling any unfortunate wight that may fall into their hands; and I have been frequently disgusted at their barbarity.
The turnkey weighed the gold and looked sharp at Glossin. 'Ay, ay, Mr. Glossin, ye ken the ways o' this place. Lookee, at lock-up hour I'll return and bring ye upstairs to him.
I thought 'twere for that as they took me, an' so I broke my way out o' the lock-up, to come an' say 'good-by' to Prue's winder, an' then I were goin' back to give myself up an' let 'em hang me if they wanted to." "Were you, George?" "Yes."
They gathered together in one of the deep red brick verandahs of a disused lock-up and congratulated Ortheris, who bore his honours modestly. I sent my work into the office and joined them. Ortheris watched the Government Advocate driving off lunch. "That's a nasty little bald-'eaded little butcher, that is," he said. "'E don't please me. 'E's got a colley dog wot do, though.
He lay for an hour or two, making up his mind that he was in a lock-up, because he could see the starlight through iron bars. He could hear somebody snoring, and he called half a dozen times, in a louder and louder voice, until at last, hearing a growl, he inquired, "Can you give me a drink of water?"
Watkins Tottle had been suddenly arrested for 33l. 10s. 4d., and dated his communication from a lock-up house in the vicinity of Chancery-lane. ‘Unfortunate affair this!’ said Parsons, refolding the note. ‘Oh! nothin’ ven you’re used to it,’ coolly observed the man in the Petersham.
Gregory?" asked Hiram. "I'll go into the house and get a rope to tie him. Then we'll take him to the lock-up." "Let me go!" said the tramp, uneasily. "I was only joking." "You carried the joke too far, my friend," said Hiram, significantly. "I'll take you round to the lock-up by way of joke and Judge Jones will sentence you to the penitentiary just to help the joke along."
I only know it because Welch and I ran there once last year. It's in the Badgwick direction, about three miles by road, mostly along the level. I vote we muffle up fairly well, blazers and sweaters and so on, run to Worbury, tea at one of the cottages, and back in time for lock-up. How does that strike you? 'It sounds all right. How about tea though? Are you certain you can get it? 'Rather.
But there was an unco dust about it it was tried in the Inner House afore the Feifteen." "I know all that, but this person will not stay there very long it's only a makeshift for a night, a mere lock-up house till further examination. There is a small room through which it opens, you may light a fire for yourselves there, and I'll send you plenty of stuff to make you comfortable.
Brithwood was seized with some indefinite alarm, he himself best knew why, or whether John's manner irresistibly compelled him to civility, as the stronger always compels the weaker, I cannot tell but he signed to the clerk to leave the room. "And, Jones, send back all the others to the lock-up house till tomorrow. Bless my life! it's near three o'clock.
