Bambridge’s Fees and Cruelty Exposed in Prison Sorts Case
The Historical Register reports Bambridge misread a sum as a wardens fee causing excessive charges for prisoner commitments. Judges assumed separate commitment fees for each action, leading to six or seven times the true fee and extortion of discharge, with brutal confinement and arbitrary punishments. The piece details his power to move prisoners, torture irons, and malice toward Capt. David Sissay.
