08 Jun 1837 Death in Carlisle Gaol Print E-mail
In Carlisle Gaol, on Tuesday last, a female prisoner named MARR died of grief
and a broken heart. She was convicted at the spring assizes, and sentenced to
four months' imprisonment, for stealing some articles of wearing apparel whilst
in service. She had been then only a few weeks married; and a sense of her
degraded situation as a prisoner preyed so bitterly on her mind as to lead to
her early death, in a dungeon, where no friend was present to soothe her dying
sorrows.
