tumbril

So many died that the tumbrils used to cart thieves to the gallows were repurposed to carry orphans to the monasteries and convents.

October 1917 had been relegated to a past that would never be repeated, just like the tumbrils in Paris in 1793 or Charles I’s public execution outside the palace at Westminster.

It may not be time to roll out the tumbrils for UK house building.

The ministerial Jaguar parked outside had become a tumbril.

But it's from Robert Thomson at the Wall Street Journal, even higher up the new NewsCorp food chain, setting the tumbrils rolling there.
