In the house of correction

In the house of correction, of a broken heart, James Stewart, the young man recently postillion to lord Cardigan, who was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, at the late Westminster sessions, for throwing a glass bottle from the two shilling gallery into the pit of Drury lane theatre, and thereby wounding two women on the 8th of February last.
