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 since_o the_o whole_a be_v cover_v with_o mist_n and_o obscure_a intrigue_n the_o scene_n be_v quite_o alter_v the_o judge_n be_v at_o a_o loss_n where_o to_o find_v the_o profit_n or_o if_o they_o be_v find_v out_o by_o the_o inrollment_n yet_o they_o must_v be_v excuse_v for_o they_o be_v pre-ingaged_n and_o all_o preingagement_n must_v in_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o honour_n be_v allow_v of_o and_o therefore_o though_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o statute_n do_v positive_o affirm_v that_o the_o fee_n and_o profit_n shall_v in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v apply_v towards_o

unfortunate_a act_n of_o parliament_n commit_v a_o violence_n on_o its_o self_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o felo_fw-la de_fw-fr se_fw-la and_o by_o a_o fatal_a contradiction_n give_v its_o own_o heart_n a_o

have_v a_o livelihood_n i_o doubt_v the_o court_n will_v want_v their_o officer_n unless_o they_o can_v suppose_v that_o one_o skeleton_n may_v live_v upon_o another_o for_o by_o this_o time_n both_o the_o office_n and_o officer_n must_v be_v reduce_v to_o a_o mighty_a thin_a contexture_n i_o have_v now_o do_v with_o this_o famous_a act_n of_o parliament_n of_o which_o we_o be_v so_o big_a with_o expectation_n and_o i_o be_o sorry_a it_o shall_v be_v say_v at_o last_o partur_fw-la montes_n have_v thus_o make_v the_o way_n clear_a and_o i_o hope_v give_v you_o convince_v proof_n draw_v from_o the_o sacred_a repository_n of_o our_o law_n that_o the_o present_a foundation_n as_o well_o as_o management_n of_o these_o office_n be_v diametrical_o opposite_a to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o common_a law_n and_o whole_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o noble_a frame_n of_o the_o english_a happy_a constitution_n i_o come_v now_o to_o offer_v my_o humble_a proposal_n to_o the_o parliament_n 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 further_a service_n and_o though_o these_o miscreant_n have_v be_v such_o unprofitable_a servant_n to_o all_o mankind_n but_o themselves_o and_o by_o their_o crime_n have_v undoubted_o incur_v a_o just_a forfeiture_n of_o all_o their_o several_a interest_n yet_o that_o even_o those_o who_o purchase_v their_o place_n for_o valuable_a consideration_n shall_v be_v reimburse_v their_o purchase-money_n though_o this_o be_v a_o favour_n which_o they_o can_v pretend_v a_o title_n to_o and_o that_o which_o perhaps_o no_o other_o power_n upon_o earth_n but_o a_o english_a parliament_n 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 marshal_n and_o warden_n will_v have_v keep_v all_o encumbrance_n still_o on_o foot_n on_o purpose_n to_o secure_v the_o profit_n thereof_o from_o be_v touch_v so_o that_o until_o these_o obstacle_n 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 regiment_n of_o the_o army_n be_v to_o have_v before_o they_o be_v disband_v iii_o the_o stage_n be_v clear_a of_o these_o vermin_n like_o snail_n let_v they_o carry_v their_o house_n and_o prison_n 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 comfortable_a subsistence_n and_o beside_o there_o will_v be_v this_o particular_a advantage_n to_o the_o whole_a nation_n that_o whereas_o now_o by_o the_o 43_o eliz._n c._n 2._o the_o justice_n of_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 general_n session_n be_v to_o provide_v a_o stock_n of_o such_o material_n as_o they_o think_v convenient_a and_o sit_v person_n to_o oversee_v and_o set_v they_o to_o work_n now_o for_o the_o charge_n of_o these_o new_a building_n it_o may_v be_v so_o manage_v as_o not_o to_o cost_v the_o nation_n a_o farthing_n for_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o there_o be_v five_o hundred_o person_n 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 wall_n either_o by_o chamber-rent_n or_o from_o the_o prisoner_n work_v or_o other_o method_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a by_o parliament_n iu._n and_o in_o order_n to_o reduce_v the_o number_n of_o the_o king's-bench_n and_o fleet_n prisoner_n by_o prevent_v the_o removal_n of_o prisoner_n from_o the_o country_n prison_n that_o not_o habeas_fw-la corpus_fw-la may_v be_v allow_v unless_o
