which it abounds, and the incidents, es idently derived f;orn facts—
fiction could not speak to the heart as these do—render the narratives
of the several clergymen who are supposed to give the strange and
eventful histories of their progress through life, replete with varied
Interest. Certain downy doctors and rubicund rectors also come in
for a fair share of ridicule and reproof. The widows are hit olf to

lesion with other parties, or by a course of individual
deception and contrivance to cheat and rob the cre-
ditor, the debtor should not incur the same penalty
that the law attaches to conspiracy with intent to de-
fraud, for example, as we are far from arguing that the
law should not carefully discriminate between impru-
dence or improvidence, and swill deliberate practices
on other people's property. But to desire to uphold
a law which visits upon the crime of a designed and
intentional cheating of others, and upon an inability to
pay others their just claims, which results either
from uncontrollable misfortune, or sheer indiscretion,
or even a vicious but thoughtless habit of extravagant
living, does seem like a proposition for returning to
those days of a barbarous jurisprudence, in which
pecuniary amercement was the one principle of
punishment adhered to by our Saxon ancestors. But
we wrong those ancestors by this comparison. For
at least their tariff of legal fines and compensa-
tions was determined by a scale, whereas
the amount of the amercement accurately
increased with the enormity of the crime for
which it was exacted: The iniquity of our law of
imprisonment for debt is the very wantonness of its:
inconsistency. It is administered on a scale which is
accurately disproportionate ;—which carefully inverts
the scheme of a compensating retribution—which-
reduces the penalty exactly as the character of the
offence is aggravated in its intensity. Imprisonment
for debt is the terrible vengeance of property against
poverty; but it is the stronghold from which insolent-
fraud defies the penal visitation of law. A wretched,
broken down, deserted, ruined man—an obscure gentle -
man,or a petty tradesman, or a small farmer—a generous
friend whose confidence has been abused by the party -
for whom he has rashly* become the responsible se-
curity; a man of letters excluded by circumstances.,
which he has failed in the struggle to overcome, from
the favoured circles of botAsellers and editors who
absorb the public patronage into their own peculiar
cliques; a professor of sciences or arts upon which
the fashion or the folly of the day has turned
an unfavouring eye ;—these, and such as these,
form the great staple of that population which
crowds our debtors' prisons. Because they
have the money wherewith to meet the
debts they have contracted, we carefully segregate
them from the world, on daily and hourly commerce
with which their livelihood has always depended, in
order (at first sight, it might be thought) that they
may have no chance of satisfying the creditors at
whose suits they are incarcerated. In proportion to
their honesty of purpose is their irksomeness of posi-
tion ; and to this irksomeness of position, the moral
and physical prostration which we invoke to the
speediest destruction of all their energies of mind and
body, in the wasting, dreary, monotonous torpor of a
prison. Now, the bold debauchee who, having made up
his mind to undergo a certain term of confinement
rather than discharge his just engagements, and finds,
in the habitual indolence and licentious conversation,
ample amends for the loss of that freedom of action
which he never valued ; the fraudulent bankrupt, who
has still the command of secreted moneys or pro-
perty which he has abstracted from the assets that
should be in the hands of his creditors ; the gambling
attorney, who, having neglected the interests of one
class of clients, and plundered the property of others,
is but undergoing the restraint upon which he has
coolly calculated as the price to be paid for his mal-
versations and delinquencies; the former denizen of
the turf, or patron of the ring, or betting man, who,
having secured the stakes he stood to win at the last
races, or fights, or steeple-chases, has well deliberated
over the greater advantage to be derived from a few
weeks or months incarceration, than from paying the
losses he has incurred to others at whose suit he is im-
prisoned ;—these are the class to whom imprisonment
for debt is a refuge, not a terror—a benefit, not a
punishment—a natural incident, not a moral cala-
mity. Until within the last month or so, when a
most wise and benevolent interposition of the Legis-
ture has set free the individuals confined for sums not
exceeding 201., you might almost have inferred the
relative quality and character of debtors from the
amount of the debts for which they were detained.
The smaller sums would be found to be owing, as a
general principle, by the purely unfortunate ; , the
larger, for the most part, by the dishonest and the de-
signing speculator on " credit."
Considering, as we do. that
i,u,nanity in an immediate torm, and,
to
the cause of all social happiness and order in its ulti-
mate operation by Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill, will
greatly outweigh some few isolated instances. in
which the guilty misconduct of the debtor may be
found to have been rewarded by the emancipation of
his person, and the equitable claims of the creditor to
have been virtually annihilated through this grace to
the debtor ; we have perused with pain and disap-
pointment the reported proceedings at a meeting held
on Monday, at the Gray's Inn Coffee-house. This
meeting consisted of solicitors summoned " for .the
purpose of considering the mode best adapted to pro-
tect the profession from the aggressions and inter-
ference of unqualified persons, likely to ensue under
the new Insolvent Debtors' Act, " publicly recom-
mended by Lord BROUGHAM." The solicitors of
London, as a body, are no doubt a highly respectable
and eminently useful, and an honourable branch of
the profession of the law in England. But it is a
marvel to us how they should so long have patiently
slumbered over the notorious malpractices—the grind-
ing,technical, pettifogging chicanery and
combinations Of that legion-like community among
them, who, almost every week, by the exposure of
their nefarious practices as " discounting attorneys,"
as go-betweens for titled spendthrifts, or swindling,
speculative traders, and unsuspected professional
firms of usurers and extortioners ; as human vultures
who scent from afar the spoils and the feast which
modern profligacy is so constantly preparing for
their talons in the excesses of youthful extravagance,
or titled dissipation, or infatuated credulity—who,
almost every week, we say, are thus challenging the
scorn and arousing the indignation of the public. It
is a marvel to us that. the solicitors of London only
turn out against these mysterious "aggressions," and
these dreadful "unqualified" persons, whoever they
may be, when Lord BROUGHAM'S Act threateni to
withdraw hundreds, aye thousands of wretched
debtors, from the comprehensive fangs of those bills
of costs, and detainers, and the rest of' all those
legalised methods of tormenting the tormented which
the good old practice of the dear departed old law so
much delighted to supply ! We should be glad to
find ourselves mistaken, but we must suppose that this
was the "motive" of these gentlemen's opening ov •
er-
ture at Gray's Inn Coffee-house.
The worthy Chairman commenced his address by a
rather angry fling at the incorporated Association
called the Law Society," for no more valid reason, as
it seems to us, than that that Society has not turned out
against Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill of relief for debtors
of 201. and under. It was described as consisting of
the " more aristocratic members of the profession."
(Aristocratic attorneys ! GOD help us, what can they
be like ?) 'Well, no doubt this is a fault in the con-
stitution of the Law Society. But here be others :
"It did not adequately represent the bulk of the
profession ;" and again—here's the rub—" It made
little effort to oppose the measures calculated to de-
grade and injure the general body." 'What can these
be? Why, Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill, and all others
that reduce fees and simplify proceedings—of course.
"The present meeting had met to form a protection
society." For whom ? For victimised clients ? Alas,
no ! For the coming dragon's teeth—the fatal em-
bryo solicitors—the infant aristocracy of the thriving
houses of Doe and Roe—the long, long line of
Latitat ! " There were few professions," he said, "of
which the privileges ought to be more respected.'
(A pelitio principii, this, with a vengeance!) " The
duty of the new society would be to protect the pro-
fession"—(little ducks and lambs—they need protec-
tion)—" from the innovation of self-styled legal re-
formers." There, Lord BROUGHAM ; keep down at
Brougham Castle. Your Lordship can never survive
that vapulation. Your tg occupation's gone." At
the same time, we are curious to learn whom this
Chairman and his supporters would be content to dub
a " legal reformer?' Some high mechanical
possibly, who shall some day discover the gaeritliuosf
drawing out pleas and bills of costs from the most in-
significant elements to the interminable length into
which a wire-drawer now coaxes a single penny-
weight of gold. But the Chairman having thus ex-
perimented on the feelings of his hearers, seems to
have thought it time to practise a little on their
credulity. "The Association would endeavour to
procure every really useful and practical reform in

A correspondent of the Preston Chronicle observes,
in the course of some remarks on the opposition lately
offered by the Bishop of LONDON to Sunday railway
travelling :—" On the last Sabbath about two thou-
sand people went to Fleetwood in third-class car-
riages, and from about twelve to twenty persons
were employed in the locomotion of this nu-
merous party, which is not quite one to a
hundred. I remember some years ago seeing his
Lordship of London, then Bishop of Chester, come to
preach on a Sunday morning at Preston church ; and
though he had only two or three hundred yards to
go, he had his carriage, two horses, and two or three
servants employed." This is a very edifying remi-
niscence, but one, we fear, that will not be particu-
larly palateable to the Right Reverend Prelate, whose
great object of late years seems to have been, to
put himself forth to the world as a model of
apostolical humility. If we may credit the statements
constantly made by the good Bishop in his letters,
sermons, and Parliamentary speeches, no one is a
greater friend to the humbler classes of society than
he is—no one has their interests more deeply at heart
—no one is more amiably solicitous that their com-
forts and their amusements should, on all occasions,
be provided for. As Sir ROBERT PEEL is a free-trader
" in the abstract," so is the Bishop of LONDON
an apostolical Prelate "in the abstract." In theory,
his benevolence and forbearance towards his fellow-
creatures, especially those of the humbler and poorer
class, know no bounds. His love for them is deep
and comprehensive as the ocean ; and night and day
—so runs the tenour of his numerous sermons,
speeches, &c.—he is unceasingly engaged in schemes
for the furtherance of their temporal and spiritual wel-
fare. Honest lago, it may be remembered, professed
that he "was nothing if not critical," and in like
manner honest BLOMFIELD—or " CHARLES JAMES
LONDON," as he delighteth to intitule himself—pro-
fesses that he is " nothing if not tolerant." Thus is
it with him in the v_ but hrsou atptuhi the (sag,. na
rQEg practice ? Here, the speculative philanthropist
r.C1.3
exhibits himself as the cold, officious, arbitrary
High-Churchman, without one particle of bonhommie
or forbearance in his nature; and who seems to take
a perverse pleasure in interfering with the harmless
recreations of his humbler fellow-creatures. Are a
party of poor people seen travelling from necessity, or
for amusement, by a railway on the Sabbath, the
Bishop is instantly in arms at this—in his purblind
view of the case—culpable neglect of religion, and
instantly gets up in the House of Lords to denounce,
and, if possible, put a stop to, all Sunday railway tra-
velling Are a party of toil-worn London artisans, to
whom fresh air and healthful exercise are novelties
only to be enjoyed one day in the seven, seen availing
themselves of their Sabbath leisure, to indulge in an
excursion on the Thames, not only does the Bishop
stand for hours together at the windows of his palace
:at Fulham, with his ghostly nose flattened against
the pane, watching the irreligious scamps with looks
of the grimmest displeasure, but he hastens to de-
nounce their guilt in public, and to get such a Bill
passed through Parliament as shall hare the effect of
driving every living thing from the river on
Sunday except the fishes, over whom, fortu-
nately, he has no episcopal jurisdiction. In-
finite are the :contrivances to which of late years
this restless, meddlesome, intolerant Prelate has had
recourse, in order to abridge the harmless Sabbath
recreations of the people, and thereby render their
condition still more wretched than it now is. He
does not see that by putting a stop to Sunday railway
travelling, by exorcising the Sunday rural walk, and
shutting up the village ale-house, he drives the poor,
almost as a matter of necessity, to the stifling tavern
coffee-room or the demoralizing gin-palace; but
imagines no doubt—with the infatuation common
to intolerant priestcraft—that if the poorer classes be
deprived of all recreation on the Sabbath, they will,
as a matter of course, rush in droves to Church, just as
if people could be made pious by Act of Parliament !
Church, indeed, seems to be our excellent Prelate's
sole specific for every species of social or political
evil. He holds " more Church" to be a certain and
universal cure, just as Doctor SANGRADO, in " Gil
Bias," held bleeding and hot water to be an infallible
remedy. Are the operatives in a state of general des-
titution ? Give them "snore Church," quoth our
Episcopal Doctor ! Subscriptions are all well enough
in their way, and much may be said in favour
of providing the poor with employment; but to
provide them with "'more Church" is the thing; and full
of this remedial scheme, the ghostly " CHARLES JAMES
LONDON " insists on the erection of upwards of fifty
bran-new churches in his diocese, which he contends
will effectually put an end to all the distresses of his
poorer flock ; though every impartial man sees that
the chief result of the scheme will be, to increase
prodigiously his own power and patronage, though
this of course is a circumstance that has never once
entered into "CHARLES JAMAS LONDON'S" calcu-
lation !
