The secretary now made his appearance with the register, and after turning over the leaves, read as follows: "August the 16th, a gentleman came to inquire after an infant left here, of the name of Japhet, with whom money had been deposited Japhet, christened by order of the governors, Japhet Newland referred to the shop of Mr Cophagus, Smithfield Market.
It was sewn up tightly in canvas, exactly like a piece of meat destined for Smithfield market, and was treated with no more ceremony than such a parcel by the porters who received it. "Where are you going to put that, Dick?" "Oh, stow it over there, Bill!" That was how a British hero made his home-coming. But I had a more horrible shock, although I had been accustomed to ugly sights.
Even the school-boys left the merry-andrew and came to gaze, with wide-open eyes, at this tall, strange-looking old man. There was a cattle-drover in the village who had recently made a journey to the Smithfield market, in London. No sooner had this man thrust his way through the throng and taken a look at the unknown personage, than he whispered to one of his acquaintances,

Henry Dunbar walked away from the neighbourhood of Holborn with his coat buttoned tightly across his broad chest, and nearly eighty thousand pounds' worth of property hidden away in his breast-pockets. He did not go straight back to the Clarendon, but pierced his way across Smithfield, and into a busy smoky street, where he stopped by-and-by at a dingy-looking currier's shop.
The next which I select is the eleventh of the second and third of Philip and Mary; and falling in the midst of the smoke of the Smithfield fires, and the cruelties of that melancholy time, it shines like a fair gleam of humanity, which will not lose anything of its lustre because the evils against which it contends have in our times, also, furnished matter for sorrow and calamity calamity which we unhappily have been unable even to attempt to remedy.
Bartholomew's Hospital bound it on the west; Smithfield and Long Lane on the north; Aldersgate Street, like an arm of the sea, divides it from the eastern part of the city; whilst the yawning gulf of Bull-and-Mouth Street separates it from Butcher Lane, and the regions of Newgate.
