The Late Attack upon Marshal Haynau - the Bed-Room in which Marshal Haynau was Concealed, 1850. After being attacked by angry workers during a visit to a brewery in Southwark, London, Austrian general Julius Jacob von Haynau '...ran in a frantic manner along Bankside until he came to the George public-house, when, finding the doors open, he rushed in and proceeded upstairs into one of the bedrooms, to the utter astonishment of Mrs. Benfield, the landlady, who soon discovered his name and the reason of his entering the house. The furious throng rushed in after him, threatening to do for the "Austrian Butcher" but, fortunately for him, the house is very old-fashioned, and contains a vast number of doors, which were all forced open, except the room in which the Marshal was concealed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
