A Quantity of FLOWER and SHIP BREAD by the Barrell or fingle Hundred cheap, as it’s a little on the mufty Order, S e s s coomame L O N D O N, November 3o. : - At the Quarter Scflionis of the Peace; beld at King3 fton upon Thames, for the county of Surry, which ended on Saturday Iaff, 500 prifoners were difcharged from the King’s Bench Prifon, New Goal, and Mar= fhal fes, on the Compulfivz Ciaufe, in the late A&, for the relief of Infolvent Debtors ; when fathers compelled their fons ; fons compelled their fatheérs ; brothers snd fitters compelling brothers and fifters ; and bailiffs com pelling thole that employed them, &c. &c: there being no power given by theé At to (wear the Compelling Creditor to the juftnefs of his debt, or to meke hinx attend to an{wer any queRtions, But it sppearing to the Court in four or five inftarices, that there were frauds,, the priloners were remanded back. Qne inftshce wis very remarksble : A perfon in the Borough hid undee- taken, for a fum of money, to get a prifoner difchargeds for which purpofe he lent a than s bank Bote of zol. which man immediately lent the fame to the prifoner in cuftody, and which note the prifoner ‘inimediately returned to the firft lender ; yet the middle man, who only pafled the note from the lender to the prifoner,) compelled bim to appear to s debt for zol. tho’ the bunk note was retarnéd at the time pretended to be borrowed, One prifoner, whilft waiting in Court to be dilcharged, had his pocket picked of feven guiness ; fo thet the thief here feemed & man of conlcience ; as he was not willing the prifoner fhould fewear he had delivered up his All, while he had o much mcney about him. A few days ago a certain traceiman in Rotherhithe) intending to take the benefit of the compulfive claule, made over his effe@s to’a femiale companion,whom he believed he could tinft, “till the sffiir fhould be com- pleated ; but in his ablence fhe took time by the fore< lock, #nd married a jolly tar ; fo that when the whife~ wa/bed man returned to his heule, he could not get admittance, as there was nothing there that he could clsim as his property ; snd thus he found himfelf, thopgh in one fenfe uxfairly, yet in fo& fairly charrd. 1t is wery evident that the Compalfive Claufe in the lote Infolvent A&, bas caufed Trade to decreafe, by enquiring into the different manufaliures in Spitilefields and othir places, where there are many bundreds ef Weavers cat of hufinefs, and bave mo lawful method to maintain them- Jelves and families, the Mafiers not smaking goods, being afraidto [/l them on Credit. at this bazardous time. 1# is fuppofed that ninety of every bundred cleared, have beerw perjured, by taking theit oaths, that they bave given up their AU, when they bave offigned their iffets to Jome of their family or friends ; fome from a reguifb difpofition, and mavy feduced, perbaps, by the perjuasfins of otbers, and the eafy manser of getting ric of their -Debts ... *Fis feared, that many, who bave taken the Ben:fit in this fraudulent manner, will be the perfons éntrufted with the fecretion of their (ff. &5, or future quarrels and animofities bave their cincealment divilged, either from malice, or the bencfit arifing to them for Ja doing, and the eriminal Juffer accordingly. .To prevent wbich, perbaps a Parden to thof whs tould give a faithful account of their ¢fate and ¢ffelis, at that time concealed, for the bencfit of théir Creditors, might be the means of faving many of his Majefty's fubjects, reflore, in fome meafure, their hofs Re- putation, and recompence the irjured Trader. } Commiflioners. 4
