DISSATISFIED WITH HIS TREATMENT
The Evening News states that the prisoner was seen yesterday by his friends and his solicitor. The effect of his incarceration has not tended towards any improvement in his appearance. His hitherto curled locks are dank and straight, and he has dropped all pose whatever, his sole anxiety being at the present moment with regard to bail, for which a most urgent and pressing demand is about to be made. According to the prison authorities, he neither eats, drinks or sleeps. He is extremely talkative and gives vent to loud denunciations of the manner in which he is treated.
