THE PRESS-GANG IN YORKSHIRE.<br />

in the town, and was known as " Three-fingeredJack."<br />

None of the Blenheim's crew were wounded.<br />

Such are a few of the incidents of the press-gang, and<br />

in perusing the annals of our country, which contain<br />

such graphic pictures of great and glorious victories<br />

achieved by patriotic sons on blood-stained battle-fields,<br />

we should not forget the means that were resortedto in<br />

obtainingthem, and the misery which was suffered by the<br />

impressed and those who were dependentupon them for<br />

their dailybread.
