Honest prisoners

This morning a fire broke out at a gingerbread baker's adjoining to Whitechapel gaol, which consumed the baker's, and part of the gaol.

The consternation was so great, that lest the prisoners should be burned, the gaol doors were opened and all of them, to the number of 30, escaped, accept three, who returned in the evening.
