| 2nd November 1860 | DARING ESCAPE FROM LOUTH HOUSE OF CORRECTION - Considerable excitement was caused in Louth on Friday evening last by the news that a felon had escaped from the House of Correction. His name is Mark HUGHES, alias BURKE, who was under a sentence of four years penal servitude for stripping a man named McANDREW of his clothing in this town a short time ago, a circumstance which will be fresh in the minds of our readers. When tried for this offence several previous convictions were proved against him, indeed he appears to be a most desperate character and in sentencing him to four years penal servitude the magistrate probably thought they had heard the last of him for some time at least. His supper was taken to his cell between six and seven o´clock in the evening and in about twenty minutes after he was missed by one of the warders named BOLDOCK. An outcry was at once raised, and it was discovered that he had got over the palisades which divides the yard from the garden and going to the end of the garden nearest the Priory, had thrown over a rope with some hard substance at the end to fix to the copings, and then climbed over the wall. He had a companion part of the way, but he was unfortunate at the outset, having been spiked in his attempt to climb the palisade. Having some companions at Horncastle it was thought he would make his way there and Police Constables WILKINSON and PLASKITT were at once sent in that direction. They returned the following day without obtaining the slightest clue of him, but as he is a well-known character it is scarcely likely he will be long at large. A reward is offered for his apprehension. | THE GRIMSBY FREE PRESS |
