Description:Excerpt from A History of Ely Place, of Its Ancient Sanctuary, and of St. Etheldreda, Its Titular Saint: A Guide for Visitors For certain offences could not be arrested by the civil authorities. Within present memory the Queen's writs did not run here, and no police officer or sheriff could follow a prisoner or a debtor who had taken sanctuary in the Liberty. To this day Ely Place has a kind of local control of its own, and is governed by certain Comm1ssmners elected annually by the house holders. Until lately they entirely managed the paving, draining, lighting, 'watering, and guarding of the Place. They have their own day and night watchmen, with gold-laced hats, who fulfil the functions of police. Here still, as in days of yore, the silence of the night is broken by the call, hour by hour, of the watchman, from ten o'clock at night until six in the morning. One of the oil street lamps, which were the means of lighting all London before the introduction of gas, was hanging ln Ely Place when the Fathers of Charity took possession of St. Etheldreda's. Then only was this old oil lamp removed from over the presbytery door. At the doors of some of the houses until a few years ago were seen the non extinguishers used to put out the torches which supplemented the lights of the London streets before the introduction of gas lamps, and were carried by servants or link-boys before the sedan chairs of the gentry.
