Allan Stewart Laing[edit]

I can't find any reference for Allan Laing sending "three youths to the house of correction for singing in the streets". But Philip Horne, in the Penguin Classics edition of Oliver Twist (2002, p501) says:

"In November 1835, Dickens had joined the mockery of Laing, who had had a muffin-boy taken up for ringing a muffin-bell in Hatton Garden while Laing's court was sitting."

Earlier, in an extended note on Laing (pp 498-499), Horne references "Gilbert a Beckett's satirical weekly Figaro in London" and other sources for attacks on Laing 1836-36, so maybe it would be worth looking there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidbaker999 (talk • contribs) 11:52, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cross ref to Coldbath Fields Prison?[edit]

I wonder if this page could cross ref to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coldbath_Fields_Prison

as that was the most famous House of Correction in England was known and referred to as such.
