Hm, no, not quite...
They're tricking an assassin, and the quote says:
Quote:
" 'It's ginger beer time!' roared someone.
And a watchman ran through with a box of bottles, and disappeared into the rooms beyond.
There wasn't much light in here. Ferret cowered against the wall and saw two watchmen unlock the cell next door, drag the shackled occupant upright and out into the cellar and then hustle him around the corner.
The voices had a slight echo.
'Hold him down. Mind his legs!'
'Right! Let's have the bottle! Give it a proper shake, otherwise it won't work!'
'Okay, friend. Anything you want to tell us? Your name? No? Well, it's like this. Right now, we don't care a whole lot if you talk or not."
There was a loud pop, a hiss and then... a scream, an explosion of agony."

It sounds to me like "See you don't get kicked when he fights back." It at least leaves that possibility.
