Considerations on imprisonment for debt, fully proving, that the confining of the bodies of debtors is contrary to common law, magna charta, statute law, justice, humanity, and policy. And that the practice is more cruel and oppressive than is used in the most arbitrary kingdoms in Europe. With an account of the various applications to the king and judges by the prisoners of the King's Bench, for obtaining redress; and some remarkable cases of prisoners now confined there. By James Stephen.
