Imprisonment. Fees

So true it is that this observation has nothing to do
have had any thing said to the prejudice of their wisdom or their humanity called in
question, are known to have has stand upon record as having given their allowance
to the abuse. If any Judges one of these Magistrates had had the
spirit to have refused this allowance the Gaoler would
for a moment have remained unpaid, and these from thenceforward the
burthen would have been taken up by that public
hand which from the beginning ought to have born
it.* There is no one of the Magistrates who contributed
to the continuance of this abuse, but what
were much meeker objects of it than those on whom the wretched culprits
they laid the burthen.[a]

[NOTE]

* Till the State be By the old Law when a money was recovered
by against a Hundred, the Sheriff laid hold
of the first man Hundredor he met, and made him pay the
whole. Even this was a better than that of expedient for providing
for the public burthen than the one
in question.

[Text]
So far is this abuse hardship from being justifiable on the
score of punishment that in many of most if not in all our prisons it is inflicted indiscriminately
on all who enter, innocent or guilty. It is
inflicted at all events when it is not known but they
may be innocent: for it is inflicted on them at first entrance
when committed only for safe custody. More than this This is
not all: it is inflicted on men after they have been
recognised proved to be innocent. Even this is not all: to fulfill fill up the
measure
