CHAPTER XIII
31/32

Fines we paid, and here Mrs.Marx Aveling did eager service.

A pretty regiment I led out of Millbank Prison, after paying their fines; bruised, clothes torn, hatless, we must have looked a disreputable lot.

We stopped and bought hats, to throw an air of respectability over our _cortege_, and we kept together until I saw the men into train and omnibus, lest, with the bitter feelings now roused, conflict should again arise.

We formed the Law and Liberty League to defend all unjustly assailed by the police, and thus rescued many a man from prison; and we gave poor Linnell, killed in Trafalgar Square, a public funeral.

Sir Charles Warren forbade the passing of the hearse through any of the main thoroughfares west of Waterloo Bridge, so the processions waited there for it.
