MADAME ANGELIQUE AGAIN 103 Intelligence of this capture was forwarded on the en- suing morning to Christian Ashton, who sent back a written answer to Sir Frederick. The Burker was kept all that day, as he had been detained the preceding night, in a cellar at Tudor House, and in the evening Christian arrived in a post-chaise to receive the prisoner. The two labourers who had rendered such timely assistance were allowed by the merchant to act as custodians of the captive during the journey to the place to which the ruffan was to be conveyed and the whole proceeding was conducted with as much secrecy as possible.
