COURT OF CHANCERY. •
COMMITMENT TO THE FLEET PRISON. • p.
Sir E. SUGDEN felt it to be his duty to Call the atteptioo
the Court to a practice which existed wheii ditleis or 61110
ment to the Fleet prison were made out, which in his jud
required correction. Mr. Brown, the gaoler of the Fieet,„bo
retained that the orders of the Court of commitment, "to,
were delivered to the tipstaff, very often did not find t(f
way into his possession, nor the prisoners into his C'l
The consequence was, that the Warden of the Fleet P,
had no means of making out a return of the commitmentin
to him. There was one instance that occurred a short We;
in which a solicitor of the Court of Chancery was orderedwo
committed, but instead of either himself or the warrynt4
conveyed to the Fleet, it was understood that the prlWe
rA
liberated on the payment of 64. This was calculated to 10%0
tamperingwii h justice, and required the interposition of tluTo
The LORD CHANCELLOR required the tipstaff, tvhsP
in the habit of attending the Court, to come forward ; ari`tni
his making his appearance, he acknowledged he had been t ii
habit of occasionally discharging prisoners on the subject ?0,1
in dispute being arranged between the parties, and the 01
giving him an incleinni!y.
Sir E. SUGDEN said he considered this a highly objecti-
practi7e. ll l 0
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that it might hapPe!,o!
very fit in certain ca,es, that upon certain arrangements lleo
should be discharged, after an order to quit had been m 3

- -
and before the pri-son'er got the length of the Fleet pril'W
that that ought never to be at the discretion of a tipstafr
ever an arrangement was propo,ed after an order to cornet
been made, it was incumbent on the officer to mention th„,qi,t%'l
to the Court before the prisoner could be discharged.
Court requital to be attended to on all future occasions.
