Page "Barnaby Rudge" Paragraph 15

The rioters capture Gabriel Varden, with the help of his wife's maid Miggs, and attempt to have the locksmith help them break into Newgate to release prisoners.

He refuses and is rescued by two men, one of whom has only one arm.

The rioters then burn Newgate where Barnaby and his father are being held.

All of the prisoners escape, but Barnaby, his father, and Hugh are betrayed by Dennis the hangman and captured by soldiers.

Dennis has changed sides, believing he will have a bounty of clients needing his special talents.

With the military patrolling the streets, the rioters scatter and many are killed.
