by a Ind-inter, named Joloo Walliaats, to escape (coin the Po.

wards of the prison wills several others, from whence an
escape was considered extremely hazardous, if not altogether
impo.sible ; but Wdliams's daring spirit overcome erery ob-
stacle, and he determined at all Immix to try the ex.
periment. Accordingly, after wrenching away several or the
window-ban, he raised himself on the roof of the prison,
working his body upwards, and then tying a rope mask
of the bed clothes to the railing', at the top, he began
to descend; brit had not got more than half way down when
it broke, and he dropped on the pavement and broke both
his legs. Since that period he has been confined in Guy's
Hospital, from which he made his escape last Sunday even-
ing, under circumstance,' of great art and ingenuity. For
Hie la►t week or two, although the surgeons were of opinion
that he was getting better, he has complained or the most
