COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 30.
QUARRELS IN TIIS KINGS BENCH PRISON.

Mr. Commit moved fat a rule to chew cause will,
William Jones, Esq. Mar►hal of the Marsha!sea,
should not answer matters contained in the affidavits

of Colmiel J. Ilaylry, Captain F. Loftus, and two
other Gentle ::01, prisoners under his charge. The
first document upon which 1%11. Cooper moved (and
the only one which in the sequel was read) was an
affidavit, very voluminous, from Colonel Bayley ;
its effect was pretty nearly as follows :—Colonel Bay-
ley, becoming a p.i,oner in the month of July last,
occupied an apartment over the King's Bench Coffee-
room, for which he paid (independent of imposition
for fire and candle) a rent of two guineas per week.
In this chargeable chamber the applicant continued
• to reside until the month of November, when, his
health relishing peace and quietness, he found him-
self much molested by the hilarity of his neighbotns
par dessous, the coffee-mom visitors, who caroused
" until the first cock,"--even until one or two o'clockl
in the morning. A representation to Poole, the coffee.'
room keeper, that such midnight revelry was con-
trary to the rules and regulations of the prison, pro-
duced no amendment ; on the contrary, mine host
put on his landlord's face; treated the complainant
as an ill lodger—one who ate little, and drank less ;
and tinafly requested that he would quit the premises,
instead of disturbing better customers than himself.
If Colonel.Bayley's remonstrance, however, failed
in the object immediately contemplated, it had the
effect of provoking the individuals against whose
conduct it was directed, and they proceeded forth-
with to retaliation ; for, immediately after (on the
very night ensuing) the topers assembled, the glass
went merrily round, and the Colonel's ears were in-
vaded by a song—it was a parody upon 'the unfor-
tunate Miss Badcy—intended, as he believed, in ridi-
cule of himself. The poem in question was set out
(\lr. Cooper said) in the affidavit, but he would not
offend the Court by reciting it : suffice it to say, that it
was soar as a Grmtleman could not listen to without
offence. Under these circumstances, Colonel Bayley
descended from his apartment to the coffee-room,
Where he found a person named Mead singing the
song from a paper to the company ; but his inter-
ference produced no other consequence than a chal-
lenge, conveyed in the grossest terms, from Mr.
Mead ; and the result of a subsequent appeal to the
Marshal had been such as the Court would feel some
surprise at hearing :—Mr. Jones replied to the com-
plaint presented to him, by advising Colonel Bayley
to remove from his then lodgings, lest the prisoners
en masse, offended at his proceeding, should execute
summary vengeance by pumping upon him.
Mr. Justice lltsr.—All this happened in Novem-
ber. Why did you not come before?
Mr. Cooren.—We state the neglect of our Attor-
ney, my Lord. The Learned Counsel then proceeded
with Colonel Bayley's affidavit, which charged that,
the Marshal, contrary to his duty, resided in the
coantry, at a distance from the prison.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—The Court has no power in
tha: respect. The Marshal is not appointed by us.
Mr. -COOPER said, that by the Act, thevath Geo.ll.'
the Court of King's Bench might remove either the
Marshal or his officers for misconduct. The Learned
;!nticitrin then returned to the affidavit, which corn•'
,plamel of various abuses: to wit—that the turnkeys
had rooms allowed to them within the walls, which
t7ley let for hire, and did not live in ; that prisoners
we.-e employed as turnkeys ; and that some persons
were allowed, for a pecuniary consideration, " the
run of the key," Sm. &c.
Mr. Justice BEST thought the accusations far too
general : the affidavit was like a fishing bill.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, that, as the affidavit
stood, the Court could not order the Marshal to an-
swer its contents. Mr. COOPER then agreed to re-
fatal his affidavit ; and the matter was deferred."
