The judges all rang'd, a terrible show!
I go undismay'd, for death is a debt,
A debt on demand,—so take what I owe.
Since laws were made for every degree,
I wonder we ha'n't better company
Upon Tyburn tree!
But gold from law can take out the sting,
And if rich men like us were to swing
?Twould thin the land such numbers would string
Upon Tyburn tree!
PURPOSING to spend an hour in the Sessions House at the Old Bailey, our adventurers started next morning betimes, and reaching their destination, took their seats in the gallery, for which accommodation they were charged one shilling each, which the Squire3 denominated an imposition, inquiring of his friend by what authority it was exacted, and to whose benefit applied4, as from the frequent sittings of the Court, and general crouded state of the gallery, the perquisites5 must be considerable.
“Custom in every thing bears sovereign sway,” answered Dashall. “I know not whence this is derived6, nor whose pockets are lined by the produce; but you will probably be surprised to learn, that a shilling admission is only demanded on common occasions, and that on trials of great public interest, from one to two guineas has been paid by every individual obtaining admission.”
The arrival of the Judges now terminated this colloquy7. The Lord Mayor and several Aldermen were in waiting to receive them, and these sage8 expounders of the law were conducted to the Bench by the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex. The Chief Magistrate9 of the City uniformly and of right presiding at this Court, his Lordship [178] took his seat on the same Bench with the Judges, and the usual forms having been gone through, the dispensation of justice commenced.
Several prisoners were tried and convicted of capital felony, during the short space of time that our associated observers remained in Court; but the cases of these wretched men, and the consciousness of their impending10 fate, seemed in no respect to operate upon their minds, as they left the bar apparently11 with perfect indifference12.
An unfortunate man was next brought forward, and accused of having stolen from an auction13 room a couple of wine glasses. He was of respectable demeanor14, and evidently had seen better days. When asked what he had to allege15 in his defence, the victim of misery16 preluding his story with a torrent17 of tears, told the following piteous tale of distress18:
He had been in business, and sustained an unimpeachable19 integrity of character for many years. Independence seemed within his reach, when misfortune, equally unforeseen as inevitable20, at all points assailed21 him! In the course of one disastrous22 year, death deprived him of his family, and adversity of his property. He had unsuccessfully speculated, and the insolvency23 of several who were considerably24 indebted to him, had completed his ruin! At the time he committed the act for which he stood convicted at that bar, he had not tasted food for three days, neither had he in the world a friend or relative to whom he could apply for relief. The Jury found him Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy. The Judge humanely25 observed, that the least possible punishment should be inflicted27 on the prisoner. He was then sentenced to a fine of one shilling, and to be discharged. A sum of money, the spontaneous bounty28 of the spectators, was immediately collected for him, while one of the Jury promised him employment, on his calling at his house on the following day. The gratitude29 of the poor man was inexpressible: the sudden transition from the abyss of despair to the zenith of hope, seemed to overwhelm his faculties30. He ejaculated a blessing31 on his benefactors32, and departed.
[179] Dashall and his friend were much affected33 by this incident. Another, however, presently occurred, of a more lively description. In the course of the next trial, the counsellor, on cross-examining a witness, found occasion to address him with, “Well, my old buck34, I suppose you are one of those people who do not often go to church?”—“Perhaps,” said the other, “if the truth were known, I am as often there as you are.” The promptness of the reply produced a laugh, in which the witness very cordially joined. “What makes you laugh?” said the lawyer. “Is not every body laughing?” replied the other. “True,” said the man of law; “but do you know what they are laughing at?”—“Why, I think in my heart,” rejoined the fellow, “that they take either me or you to be a fool, but I do not know which!”
The Judge at this repartee35 could not retain his gravity; a tumult36 of mirth pervaded37 the whole Court, and the discomfited38 counsellor adjusted his wig39 and sat down.
During the few minutes longer that our heroes remained, nothing of interest occurring, they withdrew; and passing down the Old Bailey to Ludgate Street, and from thence towards the Temple, they crossed Fleet Street, and taking the direction of Shire Lane, were induced, by way of investigating Real Life in its lowest classification, to enter one of those too frequent receptacles of vice denominated Coffee Shops.
This was a house of notorious irregularity, the occupant of which had more than once experienced the visitation of the law for his utter contempt of social order—and from the present appearance of his guests, it did not seem that legal interference had effected moral amendment40.
As our two friends entered this Augean Stable, a whisper of surprise, mingled41 with dismay, went round the motley assemblage of female street-drabs, cracksmen,{1} and fogle-hunters; and a wary42 glance of suspicion darted43 from the group “many a time and oft” on the new-comers, who notwithstanding kept possession of their seats, and ordering without apparent notice of the party a cup of coffee, apprehension44 subsided45 into security, the re-assured inmates46 resumed their interrupted hilarity47, and our adventurers were thus afforded the means of leisurable observation.
1 Cracksmen (Burglars), Fogle-hunters (Pickpockets).
[180] The Squire, who had not perused48 the annals of blackguardism, and consequently was not an adept49 in the knowledge of the slang or vulgar tongue, was under the frequent necessity of applying to his friend for explanation of the obscure phraseology of those ladies and gentlemen of the pad, which Dashall contrived50 to occasionally interpret without the assistance or notice of its multitudinous learned professors.
The desire of witnessing the exhibition of Real Life in its lowest state of human degradation51, induced a prolongation of stay by our two associates. In the meanwhile, “the mirth and fun grew fast and furious,” exemplified by dance, song, and revelry, interspersed52 with practical jokes, recriminative abuse, and consequent pugilistic exercise, where science and strength alternately prevailed; and in deficiency of other missiles, poker53, tongs54, coffee-cups, saucers, and plates, were brought into active requisition.—The scene was a striking illustration of “Confusion worse confounded.” Luckily our two observers were in a situation without the reach of injury; they therefore “smiled at the tumult and enjoyed the storm.”
The landlord now interfered55 in defence of his fragile property. Preliminaries of peace were agreed on, through his high mediation56, and finally ratified57 betwixt the contending parties, ending as they began, like many other conflicting powers, statu quo ante bellum!
“And now to serious business we'll advance, says one of the King's of Brentford.
“But first let's have a dance.”
The present party followed exactly Mr. Baye's proposition; the dance and the row over, they now proceeded to serious business.
Seated in various groups, each engaged itself in conversation, which, from its almost inaudible expression, was singularly contrasted with the recent tumultuous uproar58.
The next box where sat our two friends, was occupied by cracksmen and fogle-hunters, one of whom, whose superior skill gave him an ascendancy59 over his associates, had delineated on the table the plan of certain premises60, and having given in a very low tone of voice, a verbal illustration to his fellow-labourers, with what intention it is not difficult to conjecture61, observed, “We may as well pad (walk) it, as Sir Oliver (the moon) is not out to night.”
[181] The party to whom this remark was addressed, prepared to pad it accordingly,—when the desired egress62 was opposed by the entrance of three men, who unbuttoning their great coats, exhibited, each a hanger63 and brace64 of pistols, and took the whole community, male and female, into safe custody65
This was a coup-de-main on the part of the captors, and sustained with the most perfect sang froid by the captured.
The officers next turned their attention to Dashall and Tallyho, who giving their cards, and candidly66 explaining the motives67 which led them into the temporary society of the prisoners, they were treated with becoming respect, the officers with their captives proceeding68 on their route to Bow Street, and our heros to the occurrence of future adventure.
Tallyho congratulated himself on his escape from expected mortification69 and inconvenience, but Dashall, whose more active and enterprizing mind was not to be checked by trifles, enjoyed the vague apprehensions70 of his friend, and by way of making amends71 for the penance72 they had inflicted on themselves in Shire Lane, agreed to dine and finish the evening at a Tavern73 in Covent Garden.
Thither74, then, as they pursued their course, the Squire expressed his surprise that a final stop was not put to scenes such as they had just witnessed, and all such places of nefarious75 rendezvous76, abolished by the vigilance of the police.
“On the contrary,” observed Dashall, “it is the interest of the police, not utterly77 to destroy these receptacles of vice. They are the toleration haunts of profligacy78, where the officers of justice are generally assured of meeting the objects of their inquiry79, and therefore, under proper restrictions80, and an occasional clearance81, the continuance of a minor82 evil is productive of public benefit, by arresting the progress of infamy83, and preventing the extension of crime.”
Passing along the Strand84, the humane26 feelings of the Squire were excited by apparently a mutilated veteran seaman85, who in a piteous tone of voice, supplicated86 his charitable consideration. The applicant87 stated, that he had lost an arm and an eye, and was deprived the use of a leg, in the service of his country, without friend or home, and entirely88 destitute89 of the means of subsistence, that he had no other resource than that of a humble90 reliance on public benevolence91. The Squire with his usual philanthropic promptitude drew out his purse, but his [182] friend intercepted92 the boon93, and inquired of the seaman under whom, in what ship, and in what action he had sustained his misfortunes. To these questions a satisfactory answer was given, and the claim of the man to compassion94 and relief was about to be admitted, when another inquiry occurred, “are you a pensioner95?”
A pause ensued: in the interim96 the mendicant97 seeing a person approach, of whose recognition he was not at all ambitious, dropped in a moment his timber toe, unslung his arm, dashed a patch from his eye, and set off with the speed of a race-horse.
During the amazement98 of our two observers of Real Life, excited by this sudden and unexpected transformation99, the officer, for such was the quondam acquaintance of the imposter, introduced himself to their notice. “Gentlemen,” said he, “you are not up to the tricks of London, that fellow on whom you were about to bestow100 your charity, and who has just now exhibited his agility101, is one of the greatest imposters in London;—however, I shall not run him down at present.—I know his haunts, and reckon sure of my game in the evening.”
“I confess,” replied Dashall, “that in the present instance I have been egregiously102 deceived;—I certainly am not up to all the tricks of London, although neither a Johnny Raw nor a green-horn; and yet I would not wish to prove callous103 to the claim of distress, even if sometimes unguardedly bestowing104 the mite105 of benevolence on an undeserving object.”
“The Society for the Suppression of Mendicity in the Metropolis,” said the Officer, “think differently, they recommend that no relief should be given to street-beggars.”
“Then,” said Dashall, offended by the officer's interference,—“I envy them not the possession of their feelings,” and the two friends renewed their walk.
Proceeding, without further interruption, our pedestrians106, were induced to intermingle with a crowd which had collected round a man who wore a most patriarchal redundancy of beard, and had been recognized by an acquaintance as a shoe-maker of the name of Cooke, a disciple107 of the American Prophet, John Decker.
[183] Their high mightinesses the mobility108 were mischievously109 inclined, and would certainly have grossly insulted, if not injured the poor devotee, had not Dashall and his friend taken him under their protection.{1} He had been quietly making his way through Covent Garden Market, when the greetings and surprise of his friend at his strange transformation, attracted the curiosity of the multitude, and his unhesitating declaration, that he meant to accompany the great Prophet to Jerusalem, excited derision and indignation against the unfortunate enthusiast110, when luckily our two heros interposed their good offices and conducted the proselyte in safety to the Shakespeare Tavern.
1 On Monday, in consequence of a very great uproar on Sunday
night, in Worcester Street, Southwark, about the house of
the American Prophet, John Decker, that singular person was
brought before the Magistrates111 of this office, the
inhabitants of the neighbourhood having attributed the
The constables116 stated, that on Sunday night, at half-past
eight o'clock, they saw a mob, consisting of about three
hundred people, collected at the door of the house, and
heard the cries of “murder” issue from within. The officers
on going up stairs, found the Prophet lying on his back.
Some persons who had been abusing him escaped, and the
Prophet said the cause of their violence was, that he had
refused to get out of his bed to preach. He was conveyed to
the watch-house. The witnesses informed the Magistrate, that
the Prophet had made some proselytes, who were actually
about to leave the country with him, and accompany him upon
an expedition to the Holy Land. The parish officers were
naturally alarmed at the inconveniences to which such an
emigration would expose them, and hoped that every thing the
arm of the law could do would be done to prevent it. The
be guessed at from the following facts:—
The officers who apprehended117 him, had, two or three times,
in the course of Sunday evening, gone to the house in

Prophet preached first, and was succeeded by one of his most

congregation seemed to be as violently engaged as the
shoe-maker, named Cooke, has actually sold off his stock and
furniture, which were worth ￡300.; and if he were not known
to be the greatest admirer of the Prophet might be called
his rival, for he has allowed his beard to grow to an
immense length, and goes about preaching and making
converts. He has a little son, who looks half-starved, and
is denied all animal food by the Prophet and his father,
upon the principle of Pythagoras—that he might not be
guilty of eating a piece of his own grand-mother. Another
trades-man, who was most industrious123, and attached to his
wife and seven children, proposes to leave them all, and go
to Jerusalem. His beard is also becoming indicative of his
intention, and he sleeps, as the others who are struck by
the Prophet do—with his clothes on. None of the sixteen
families who reside in the house in which the Prophet lives,
have, however, caught the infection, and the land-lady

was on his way to Jerusalem.
sail with his brother Cooke, and nine other of his brethren.
Upon being questioned as to his inducing those men to leave
their families, he said he did not take them, a higher power
took them. After having stated the manner in which he had
been pulled out of the bed, and declared that he forgave his
enemies, he said, in answer to a question whether he was at
Brixton, and worked there, “Yea,” and to the question
whether he liked it, “Nay.”
Cooke, the shoe-maker, then stepped forward, and told the
Magistrate that he was determined128 to follow his brother
Decker to Jerusalem, but that the parish should suffer no
inconvenience, for he should take his son with him on his
pilgrimage. He said that they should not preach again where
they had been so abused, but should remove to a house near
the National School, in St. George's Fields, where they
would preach till the day of their departure.
The Magistrate assured the Prophet that he should be
might have next Sessions for four-pence. The Prophet was
then discharged.
Decker, it appeared, had baptized seventeen persons, since
he commenced his labours in St. George's Fields.
[184] No remonstrances130 of Dashall were of any avail in inducing the pertinacious131 fanatic to forego his resolution of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and when the inquisitive132 numbers who still lingered in front of the tavern had dispersed, Cooke, with appropriate acknowledgment of the protection which had been afforded him, took his leave, after having unsuccessfully endeavoured to make converts of Dashall and the Squire to the tenets of Prophet Decker, or to prevail on them to accompany the sacred band in the projected expedition to Jerusalem.
