To Mr. Lorry, the Doctor communicated under an injunction of

secrecy on which he had no need to dwell, that the crowd had

taken him through a scene of carnage to the prison of La Force.

That, in the prison he had found a self-appointed Tribunal

sitting, before which the prisoners were brought singly, and by

which they were rapidly ordered to be put forth to be massacred,

or to be released, or (in a few cases) to be sent back to their

cells. That, presented by his conductors to this Tribunal, he had

announced himself by name and profession as having been for

eighteen years a secret and unaccused prisoner in the Bastille;

that, one of the body so sitting in judgment had risen and

identified him, and that this man was Defarge.
