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.

may_v be_v do_v especial_o when_o the_o statute_n have_v by_o so_o strong_a a_o implication_n give_v the_o court_n power_n and_o authority_n to_o make_v such_o another_o rule_n if_o they_o think_v fit_a i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o head_n with_o a_o observation_n how_o much_o this_o modern_a practice_n of_o let_v prisoner_n go_v at_o large_a by_o day-rule_n differ_v from_o the_o ancient_a usage_n for_o in_o the_o year-book_n of_o the_o 39_o hen._n vi_o 33._o be_v this_o remarkable_a passage_n that_o the_o court_n of_o king's-bench_n use_v every_o term_n once_o or_o twice_o to_o send_v the_o coroner_n to_o the_o marshal_n prison_n to_o see_v all_o the_o prisoner_n and_o if_o any_o of_o they_o be_v want_v he_o mark_v their_o name_n in_o a_o book_n and_o inform_v the_o judge_n of_o it_o and_o upon_o this_o the_o court_n will_v ask_v the_o marshal_n what_o be_v become_v of_o his_o prisoner_n and_o if_o he_o can_v not_o show_v a_o sufficient_a cause_n to_o excuse_v himself_o the_o court_n do_v record_v the_o escape_n of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o upon_o he_o a_o very_a laudable_a custom_n and_o if_o it_o be_v revive_v at_o this_o day_n we_o need_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o old_a fashion_n but_o this_o will_v redound_v too_o much_o to_o the_o marshal_n disadvantage_n who_o by_o these_o day-rule_n alone_o may_v easy_o get_v two_o hundred_o guinea_n a_o term_n for_o though_o the_o prisoner_n have_v a_o rule_n which_o the_o marshal_n himself_o be_v very_o solicitous_a to_o procure_v for_o they_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o stir_a without_o come_v to_o some_o agreement_n with_o he_o and_o suppose_v the_o bargain_n to_o be_v strike_v up_o for_o a_o hundred_o prisoner_n at_o two_o guinea_n a_o head_n it_o come_v to_o that_o sum_n and_o all_o that_o he_o pay_v out_o of_o these_o vast_a perquisites_n be_v only_o a_o few_o new-years-gift_n and_o such_o like_a trifle_n perhaps_o the_o clerk_n of_o the_o rule_n may_v also_o have_v a_o small_a

for_o this_o reason_n i_o do_v not_o expect_v any_o great_a benefit_n from_o the_o other_o part_n of_o it_o for_o we_o have_v this_o maxim_n in_o the_o law_n quae_fw-la malo_fw-la inchoata_fw-la

frequent_a shift_n and_o transferring_n of_o the_o mortgage_n and_o other_o security_n to_o which_o the_o profit_n be_v subject_a that_o it_o be_v moral_o impossible_a for_o the_o plaintiff_n to_o know_v against_o who_o to_o bring_v his_o action_n or_o to_o have_v any_o remedy_n and_o there_o be_v always_o private_a article_n between_o the_o superior_a marshal_n or_o warden_n or_o the_o person_n who_o have_v their_o interest_n and_o the_o temporary_a marshal_n or_o warden_n who_o do_v actual_o officiate_v by_o which_o the_o rent_n and_o profit_n be_v total_o reserve_v to_o the_o
