This Marshalsea was granted by the lord of the manor, solely for the confinement of debtors; it is occasionally made use of to confine disorderly persons and criminals on tbeir way to the county gaol.
The keeper has no appointed salary, and is not accountable for any person committed to his charge, except debtors.
(i>) This Bridewell is not a place of confinement for any duration, but merely temporary, tili the prisouers committed by the magistrates can be transmitted to the county gaol.
The sessions are held here once a year, in the month of April, at which time the prisoners that are brought for trial from the county gaol, are
