Quote
A pauper committed from the workhouse to Milton Gaol, got under the treadmill while it was at full swing, and was instantly killed. Several planks had to be cut away before the body could be released.

Question
Is it possible this is some other Milton? Wouldn’t it say “Milton Gaol, Portsmouth”?
