The Late Attack upon Marshal Haynau - Escape of Marshal Haynau in the Police Galley, 1850. During a visit to London, the Austrian general Julius Jacob von Haynau was attacked by an angry mob who objected to 'the sanguinary cruelty during the late military operations which he conducted as Commander-in-Chief against the Hungarians'. This cruelty '...has obtained for him, throughout the civilized world, the infamous title of the "Butcher Haynau"...in a short time Inspector Squires arrived at the George [Inn, where Haynou had tried to take refuge] with a number of police, and with great difficulty dispersed the crowd and got the Marshal out of the house. A police-galley was at the wharf at the time, into which he was taken, and rowed towards Somerset House, amidst the shouts and execrations of the assembled people'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
