Horsemonger Lane Gaol. Mr. Leigh Hunt, and his brother, Mr. John Hunt, were confined in this prison for two years, for a libel on the Prince Regent in the Examiner newspaper. Here they received a visit from Lord Byron, (meeting him for the first time); and here, in June, 1813, Lord Byron and Mr. Moore dined with Mr. Hunt.
