Usually they are puttied in. Chip out the putty with a sharp chisel. Then you'll find a few glazing brads that hold it in whilst the putty hardens. Remove the brads (headless nails, sometimes flat). Clear any paint from the inside of the window and it will come out.

Depending how good the the windows are, best to go over with leadlight cement for weather proofing.
