A27455	An argument shewing that 'tis impossible for the nation to be rid of the grievances occasion'd by the marshal of the King's-Bench, and warden of the Fleet, without an utter extirpation of their present offices with proposals for a new constitution of those offices by way of letter to a member of Parliament.

will_v have_v be_v of_o excellent_a use_n in_o diebus_fw-la illis_fw-la when_o the_o sky_n be_v serene_a and_o clear_a and_o no_o cloud_n overshadowed_a any_o part_n of_o the_o office_n but_o now_o

for_o a_o new_a and_o regular_a establishment_n of_o these_o office_n which_o in_o themselves_o i_o own_o be_v a_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n i._o that_o the_o present_a officer_n of_o the_o king's-bench_n and_o fleet_n the_o marshal_n and_o warden_n superior_a and_o inferior_a with_o all_o the_o train_n of_o rubbish_n which_o attend_v they_o may_v be_v dismiss_v their_o

will_v indulge_v ii_o that_o all_o mortgage_n and_o other_o security_n and_o encumbrance_n whatsoever_o which_o have_v be_v make_v real_o and_o bona_fw-la fide_fw-la upon_o valuable_a consideration_n may_v be_v pay_v off_o and_o discharge_v with_o principal_a and_o interest_n which_o otherwise_o will_v have_v lie_v a_o eternal_a dead_a weight_n on_o the_o office_n for_o to_o be_v sure_o the_o

be_v remove_v all_o endeavour_n for_o a_o effectual_a relief_n must_v be_v vain_a fruitless_a and_o insignificant_a and_o i_o be_o inform_v that_o the_o whole_a charge_n that_o will_v be_v requisite_a upon_o this_o occasion_n will_v not_o amount_v to_o above_o thirty_o or_o forty_o thousand_o pound_n a_o small_a recompense_n for_o a_o national_a benefit_n no_o more_o than_o some_o single_a

with_o they_o for_o indeed_o they_o be_v not_o large_a enough_o to_o contain_v a_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o prisoner_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o strong_a argument_n against_o the_o possibility_n of_o the_o present_a prison_n answer_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n viz._n confinement_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o as_o to_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o new_a establishment_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o propose_v the_o buil_n of_o two_o large_a and_o capacious_a prison_n which_o may_v be_v contrive_v to_o contain_v three_o or_o four_o thousand_o man_n apiece_o and_o in_o each_o of_o these_o new_a prison_n a_o workhouse_n to_o be_v set_v apart_o which_o can_v but_o turn_v to_o a_o very_a good_a account_n for_o not_o only_o our_o manufacture_n may_v be_v thereby_o improve_v by_o so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o hand_n but_o also_o abundance_n of_o miserable_a wretch_n who_o be_v in_o a_o starve_a condition_n and_o force_v to_o beg_v through_o a_o grate_n will_v find_v a_o

the_o peace_n of_o every_o county_n and_o corporation_n in_o england_n be_v yearly_a to_o rate_n every_o parish_n towards_o the_o relief_n of_o the_o poor_a prisoner_n of_o the_o king's-bench_n all_o this_o constant_a charge_n and_o expense_n which_o have_v be_v pay_v already_o for_o near_a a_o hundred_o year_n will_v be_v take_v off_o which_o otherwise_o may_v continue_v upon_o we_o as_o a_o rent-charge_a to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o the_o nation_n will_v discharge_v a_o debt_n by_o this_o mean_n indeed_o i_o have_v often_o wonder_v that_o there_o have_v be_v no_o provision_n hitherto_o make_v for_o the_o set_v poor_a prisoner_n for_o debt_n at_o work_n and_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v look_v on_o as_o useless_a and_o rot_a member_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n any_o more_o than_o poor_a prisoner_n commit_v to_o gaol_n for_o felony_n and_o other_o misdemeanour_n for_o who_o by_o the_o 19_o car._n ii_o c._n 4._o the_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n at_o their_o

in_o this_o town_n who_o will_v glad_o undertake_v the_o building_n of_o these_o prison_n on_o the_o term_n of_o be_v reimburse_v by_o part_n of_o the_o profit_n which_o may_v arise_v within_o the_o

the_o new_a one_o derive_v from_o the_o same_o fountain_n that_o then_o the_o fee-simple_a of_o these_o office_n may_v be_v vest_v in_o the_o mayor_n and_o commonalty_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n as_o superior_a marshal_n and_o warden_n and_o that_o their_o sheriff_n may_v be_v deputy_n marshal_n and_o warden_n and_o may_v appoint_v the_o keeper_n of_o the_o king's-bench_n prison_n and_o

shrievalty_n of_o london_n in_o fee_n and_o the_o sheriff_n of_o london_n be_v guardian_n under_o they_o and_o removable_a from_o year_n to_o year_n and_o in_o this_o case_n the_o sheriff_n of_o

mayor_n and_o citizen_n be_v responsible_a for_o they_o and_o this_o appear_v in_o the_o 2_o instit_fw-la 382._o and_o i_o take_v this_o to_o be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o excellent_a model_n as_o have_v so_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a a_o fund_z to_z answer_v all_o escape_n which_o can_v possible_o happen_v and_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o citizen_n who_o doubtless_o have_v suffer_v most_o by_o the_o mismanagement_n of_o the_o present_a officer_n will_v be_v very_o willing_a of_o a_o new_a constitution_n upon_o this_o bottom_n and_o will_v no_o more_o fear_v the_o danger_n of_o escapes_n than_o they_o do_v at_o present_a one_o of_o which_o do_v hardly_o happen_v in_o a_o age_n out_o of_o any_o of_o the_o city_n prison_n vi_o since_o there_o must_v necessary_o be_v a_o great_a expense_n to_o the_o marshal_n and_o warden_n within_o the_o prison_n in_o servant_n and_o other_o conveniency_n and_o also_o the_o danger_n of_o answer_v escape_n out_o of_o they_o i_o doubt_v there_o must_v be_v a_o considerable_a allowance_n sufficient_a to_o encourage_v a_o person_n of_o worth_n and_o substance_n to_o so_o great_a a_o undertake_n i_o presume_v it_o must_v be_v two_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la at_o least_o for_o each_o officer_n but_o the_o particular_a sum_n and_o the_o method_n of_o raise_v it_o must_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o debate_n of_o parliament_n vii_o that_o no_o marshal_n or_o warden_n shall_v hold_v his_o place_n above_o one_o year_n these_o office_n be_v of_o such_o vast_a importance_n to_o the_o

that_o i_o think_v no_o man_n can_v pretend_v to_o conduct_n and_o integrity_n enough_o to_o be_v entrust_v with_o such_o a_o treasure_n for_o his_o life_n there_o be_v no_o one_o can_v say_v but_o in_o a_o long_a series_n of_o year_n as_o his_o external_n good_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o turn_v and_o stroke_n of_o fortune_n so_o the_o constancy_n of_o his_o mind_n may_v by_o continual_a

of_o trouble_n and_o misfortune_n for_o a_o small_a gain_n which_o can_v last_v above_o a_o year_n viii_o that_o if_o this_o right_o be_v invest_v in_o the_o crown_n the_o king_n shall_v not_o
