rino the BENEVOLENT SUBSCRIBERS
for the RELIEF of the Two respectable YOUNG
WOMEN who were lately Prisoners in the King's Bench.—lt
gives me infinite satisfaction to state, with the kind assist-
ance and active exertions of Mr. and Mrs. Rowe, these young
persons, together with their younger Sister and partner (who
would lave been in the King's Bench also if she had been a
year older), are most comfortably situated, and completely set
up in their School Estabishnient, having had the Lease of a
House purchased for them, and the house itself furnished in a
suitable manner, and all paid for; all their old creditors have
been settled with, and have given discharges for the-respec-
tive demands (notwithstanding their discharge under the Insol-
vent Act), by which means their future effects are relieved from
all liability.

The Subscriptions have amounted to - C 1,246 18 0
Out of which the following sums have (I trust)
been very advantageously laid out, vit. :
ln the purchase of the Lease of a
very excellent House, with Fix-
tures, &c., and including Plas-
terer and Plumber's Bills for ne-
cessary Repairs, - £305 17 10
In Furniture, Linen, Piano-forte,
Coals, Carpenter, Appraiser, &c. 370 1t 3
In compromising all Debts, &c. 198 3 9 __ _

874 17 10i
372 0 0

Overplus in hand

Out of this overplus 300/. is to be invested for their benefit,
so as to be in readiness to be advanced to them, in Shares of
1001. each, as they may happen to want the money upon any
particular occasion or event that may occur.
By this most fortunate event they will have acquired by
public benevolence, within the short period of three weeks, not
only enough to set them clear in the world, but to leave them in
possession of property to the following amount, viz. :
The Lease of House, &c. £305 17 10
The Furniture, Linen, &c. . 370 16 3,
Money to be invested 300 0 0

Total - £976 14 1
i The remaining 727. will be amply sufficient not only to pay
' for all advertisements, but to pay what is fair and right upon a
most unreasonable demand, which has been brought forward
against them by two Attornies of the Insolvent Court upon three
different bills, amounting together to 471. 19s. 9d. for business
. done in procuring their discharge under the Insolvent Act, al-
. though no opposition elm), kind was made by any body to their •
being dis Charged. Two of these bills (which now lie before me)
appear to have been taxed by the proper officeer of the InsolVent
Court; who has taken off 2s. (id. from each bill, probably with
a view of shov,ing that he had looked at them, and done some-
thing for his fees in taxing them. Notwithstanding this cere-
meny of taxation I thought the bills so very unreatoriable that
judged it right to send to the Chief Commissioner of the In-
solvent Court, which I did on the '2oth August last, stating my
objections to-them, and requesting that he mould examine and:
return them to me with such observations upon theth as he
Might think prOper to make, being ready to pay whatever lie
should'report to be justly due upon them. I thought it neces-
sary to endeavOur to procure such a document, not only .for the
satisfaction of. the subscribers !eut for my own justification to
pay. the Money. I have not yet been favoured with such report
from the Chief Commissioner, but have received an intimation
from one.OfhiS•of-ncers that my application would'..be . laid be-
tine the other Corinnissioncrs as soon as they should re-as-
senible,
but without any intimation when that event was to take
place, so that this business. must for the present remain as it is,
in an unsettled state.

It is of little use for the Legislature to pass humane laws
intended fOr the relief of unfortunate Insolvent DelkOrs, if, in
endeavouritm to .avail 'themselves of that relief, they are ob-
liged to incur debtS, for which they. may be liable to be sent
back .to prison after they have delivered up their all upon. oath
into the Insolvent court for the benefit of their creditors ; but
such might huve been the case with these (once unfortunate but
now fortunate) young womcr, if it had not been for the un-
expected'and unexampled assistance which they have received
throtigh publie humanity. 11731. JONES, Marshal.

P. S. It was my intention to have published a list of the
Subscribers, but finding upon inquiry that it would be attended
with a very considerable exTence, I thought it best to keep the.
money. fin. • the benefit of those for whom it was intended, the
suh4cribers being at full liberty to examine ,thc list whenever
they Please, at- my office; at the King's Bench, where it will
remain for that purpose.
