Bradford, of the 'Rose and Crown, was a head-borough, who, with the zeal of a triumphant Dogberry, summoned the watch, and in less than half an hour Jack Sheppard was screaming blasphemies in a hackney-cab on his way home to Newgate. The Stone-Jug received him with deference and admiration.
The houses consisted of a single room, built of the rough stone of the cavern, which, in this part, bears all the appearance of a stone-quarry, and without one particle of comfort beyond a boarded floor, the small dwelling being constructed entirely on the model of a lock-up, or "stone-jug." The cells of a modern prison are quite palatial in comparison with them.
"You are short of cash, too; come to me after the wedding, and I'll give you fifty pounds cash." "You are very liberal, sir. I wish it was in a better cause." "Now go home, and don't be a sneak and a fool till after the wedding, or I will sell the bed from under your wife's back, and send you to the stone-jug. Be off."
No trace of the ancient slavery disgraced him save the iron anklets which clung about his legs; though many a broken wall and shattered lock must serve for evidence of his prowess on the morrow. The Stone-Jug was all be-chipped and shattered. From the castle he had forced his way through a nine-foot wall into the Red Room, whose bolts, bars, and hinges he had ruined to gain the Chapel.
