INSOLVAIT
Mr. 441401411 yesterday. 'presented a petition to ate
Court, front .the Insolvent Debtors confined in the
Kings Bench Prison, signed by ppwards of 90 per-
sons. The Petitiori stated, that considerable delays
had taken place in the Office of the Marshal, Mr.
JONts, in making the necessary pfeparations for the
discharge of the Prisoners corning within the provi:
sions of the late Insolvent Act ; and that by a little
exertion some hundredi of persons might be liberated
before the period appointed, by the Marshal, the 4th
of August : it also complained of some impositions
practised on the unfortunate Debtors, by persons in
the Marshal's Office, who undertook to prepare-the'
Schedules necessary to be produced by each Prisoner,
and for which a charge was made of one guinea and
a half, when only five and seven shillings were charg-
ed by the persons employed for that purpose, in the
Fleet Prison and the county gaols. The Petitioners
finally prayed, that the Court, in their humanity,
would be pleased to direct that-an earlier dal than
the 4th of August, should be appointed for bringing
up the Prisoners to the adjourned Quarter Sessions,
in order to their being discharged.
Mr. NoLAN then moved, that an earlier day than
the 4th of August should be appointed for the dis-
charge of the Insolvent Debtors.
• Mr. Serjeant ON SLOW' the President of the Con: t, in-
timated that the Marshal should be heard in answer
to the petition. The Marshal immediately came for-
ward, and declared it to be utterly impossible to
comply with the prayer of the petition. He said, he
had sometime back, in a Committee formed of the
most respectable persons confined, proposed the 4th
day of August as the earliest day on which the pro-
per arrangements could be made; to which they
unanimously assented. He declared that every pos-
sible exertion was now making to expedite the re-
qttisite lists and documents, which his duty required
him to produce, and that by the 4th of August he
should be ready to bring up the Prisoners in order to
be liberated

Mr. Scrjeant Osstow and the Bench of Magistrates
expressed ;heir satisfaction with Mr. Jones's explana-
tion, and appointed the 4th of August for the libe-
ration.
