EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF TWO PRIS
ONERS FROM THE MODEL PRISON.

On Saturday morning, a full description of two well.
known convicts, who made their escape on Thursday last
from the model prison, l'entonville, was circulated by the
commissioners of police, Scotland-yard. The escape of
the prisoners.seems to be unparalleled, and beyond all pre-
vious prison breaking. It appears that the two prisoners
had been some time incarcerated in the jail—one being
sentenced to fourteen years' transportation, and the
other for ten years. They were two daring characters,
and one was a relative of the notorious Hackett, who
escaped from the same place several years since.
They were safely locked up in their cell late on
Wednesday eveniug by one of the warders, and
the door was protected by one of locks,
but by some means the fugitives succeeded in
opening it, but how at present seems to be a miracle, for
nothing whatever has been disturbed in the lock, nor was
there even a scratch upon the door. The warder entered
the cell at an early hour on Thursday morning, and to his
great astonishment he found the cell empty. An alarm
was raised, _and on subsequent search being made by the
governor and officers, it seems that the prisoners, after
opening the door of the cell, walked along the passage,
where they found an iron trap door, weighing three nundred
weight, which they must have forced up, and got upon the
root of a low,buildinz. From thence they scaled a lofty wall
by a ladder made of wax ends, which brought them to the
roof of the prison, where they must have encountered several
difficulties; for they descended and ascended at least six
times before they could have reached the outside of the
jail. The ladder was found hanging upon the lofty wall
of the exterior part of the prison, and must have taken
the convicts a long period to have constructed. One of
the delinquents was a shoemaker, and the other a brick-
layer. A meeting of the prison authorities has since
taken place, and one of the officers suspended. The pri-
soners, of course, had on the jail uniform, and although
the police have been actively engaged during the last
twenty-four hours in search of the,lugitives, they have at
present avoided detection.
