Old Nswgate Prison.

Newgate was a famous old jail In
the city of London, originally used as
a place Of Imprisonment for malefac-
tors and debtors, and afterwards as
house of detention for persons await
ing trial at the Old Bailey court. II
was said to have been the Oldest prison
In England-having been commenced
during the reign of Henry l (11OO-
1135). In 1241 the building had fallen
into decay, and was restored by ex-
tOrting the sum of 10000 marks from
the wealthy Jews of that city. New
gate was destroyed during the Great
Fire of 1866. 1t was rebuilt in ITO;
the exterior was destroyed by fire dur
ing the Gordon riots of 1880, but was
restored in 1882. 1t was finally demol-
ished in 1902.
Among the noted prisoners confined
within its walls in times past may
me mentioned George Wither, Daniel
Defoe, Jack Sheppard, Titus Oates and
William Penn.
