Seven letters to the lords and commons of Great Britain, upon the impolicy, inhumanity, and injustice, of our present mode of arresting the bodies of debtors; Shewing the inconsistency of it, with Magna Carta and a free constitution: with observations on the draging of debtors to Sponging-Houses, and to prisons in the first instance, before the debt is proved, upon the bare affidavit of the vilest character: and likewise some remarks on the fatal effects of such proceedings, on the circumstances and morals of individuals. The whole illustrated by a variety of cases, taken from real life. By Josiah Dornford, Esq.
