"Come along, this way now, are you coming?" from the passage I was taken to a corridor, which is fitted up with little watch-box-like-stalls. I was ordered in a very gruff manner to enter one of them; and then a large skip was brought and placed before me, with the order to strip. "Now, take all your clothes off"... I was taken naked on the cold flags, barefoot, and put under a strong light to undergo a rigid examination, and a graphic portrait taken; during the airy performance on the cold flags, and standing up, it becomes rather sensational. He whirled me round, then back again, up and down with a keen eye he skirres me...
