On seizing Miss Susan, one William Broadhurst, a ticket-of-leave holder, valorously put himself between the lady of his love and her enemies, vowing to perish rather than allow her to be taken away. The result was, that his chivalry entailed a confinement in the watch house for a night, and the same morning he was brought before the police magistrate, who recommended that his ticket-of-leave should be cancelled.

She had a narrow escape from Newcastle gaol, but as she appeared, "like Niobe, all tears," the bench was softened, and she got off with the above sentence.
