APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE BY A " THIRTY-SIX
YEARS"' PRISONER.—At the Judges' Chambers, on Sa-
turday, an old man, named Richard Candin, who has
been thirty-six years" in prison, was brought up on a
writ of habeas corpus before Mr. Justice Williams, and
applied for his discharge. Re complained that he was
unlawfully detained in the Queen's Prison. It appeared
that he was committed to a Welsh prison in the year
1817, and when the Court of Session was abolished he
was brought up to the Fleet Prison, and when that prison
was demolished, he was transferred to the Queen's Prison,
where be still remains. A vesting order had been ob-
tained in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and he was called
upon to file his schedule, but he refused. The present ap-
plication was opposed, on the ground that the original debt
still existed ; but the defendent could get his discharge
by filing a schedule in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and
an offer had been made to do so, free of expense, but be
would not allow it to be done. The applicant denied
the latter allegation. Mr. Justice Williams told him he
could do nothing for him ; he must file his schedule.
The ai plicant said he was unjustly detained, and he
would not file his schedule. Mr. Justice Williams :
"Then if you are obstinate, you must take the conse-
quences." The old man contended that he was unjustly
in prison, and further urged his case. Mr. Justice
Williams decided that he could not assist him; he must
file his schedule. The old man left in custody of the
gaoler, and was taken to his old quarters in the Queen's
Prison.
