Prison Warden Huggins and Net of Prisoners Escapes
The document details Huggins' tenure as warden, escapes under his watch, and the misuse of bills and credit. It notes Dumay's France credit, Richard Bishop's refusal to accept bills, Oliver Reed's escape during a funeral, and subsequent punishment. It covers 1725 Upholder Arne's death in restraint, Huggins' retirement plans, and a 1728 treaty selling the office to Bambridge and Cuthbert for 5600 pounds with security arrangements, plus conditions on prisoner confinement across three wards at the prison.
