pinfold

Would you have Providence to shoot you here sitting, like so many hares hunted into a pinfold?

Why, they must have been fairly starved on purpose; nay, they must have been in the pinfold all the time he had been laid up.

Pinder, the man in charge of the pound or pinfold, was the name of a famous wicket-keeper of the last century.

Like sheep hounded into their pinfold; bleating for mercy, where is no mercy, but only a whetted knife?

He was a servant of corruption, holding a candle to disorderly walkers and happy sinners on their way into the devil's pinfold.
