Phase 1

Boy Crossing-Sweepers and Tumblers. (Volume 2): "I have been to the station-house, because the police always takes us up if we are out at night; but we’re only locked up till morning,—that is, if we behaves ourselves when we’re taken before the gentleman. Mr. Hall, at Bow-street, only says, ‘Poor boy, let him go.’ But it’s only when we’ve done nothink but stop out that he says that. He’s a kind old gentleman; but mind, it’s only when you have been before him two or three times he says so, because if it’s a many times, he’ll send you for fourteen days."
