From The Times, 28 Oct 1808, posted with permission of the transcriber, Petra Michinson. Geo. On Friday morning, Carlisle gaol was again broken open, when the notorious NAYLOR, along with three other prisoners, viz. WHITE, ROW, and BARNES, made their escape. The manner in which this undertaking was achieved, displayed much ingenuity and courage, and gives some consistency to the bravado of NAYLOR himself, that no gaol in England but Lancaster Castle could hold him. Since his last return to the place of his confinement, he was loaded with above 60 pounds weight of iron, only eight pounds short of that which the famous Baron TRENCK had to sustain while confined in his dungeon at Magdeburgh; he was chained to the wall, frequently handcuffed, and generally shin-bolted and neck-bolted. Under all these disheartening circumstances, he effected his escape merely by means of two iron bars, which had been wrenched from the windows of the cell. With these implements, he, with the help of his fellow-prisoners, forced the flags from beneath the door (each stone being sunk a great depth), and proceeding forward, made a hole sufficient to admit one person at a time. Having accomplished this, they scaled the iron palisade, and the outermost wall of the prison, and got clear off. The ingenuity of NAYLOR, as a prison-breaker, has long been known: some years ago, when confined in Richmond prison, in Yorkshire, he removed a stone from under the door of his cell, which was above a ton weight, by taking away the earth from below it, when it sunk down, leaving the iron work that secured it, and gave him room to free himself.
