It was in the year 1728 that the English Parliament was persuaded by
James Oglethorpe, Esq.--soldier, statesman and philanthropist,--to
appoint a committee to investigate the condition of the debtors confined
in the Fleet and Marchalsea prisons. The lot of these debtors was a
most pitiable one, for a creditor had power to imprison a man for an
indefinite term of years, and the unfortunate debtor, held within the
four walls of his prison, could earn no money to pay the debt that was
owing, and unless friends came to his rescue, was utterly at the
mercy of the oft-times barbarous jailor. The Committee, consisting of
ninety-six prominent men, with Oglethorpe as Chairman, recommended and
secured the redress of many grievances, and the passing of better laws
for the future, but Oglethorpe and a few associates conceived a plan
which they thought would eradicate the evil by striking at its very
root, the difficulty which many found in earning a living in the
overcrowded cities.

more southerly portion, nominally included in the latter, which was held
