The Deplorable CASE of the poor People in the Mint , humbly Offer'd to the Charitable Consideration of the Honourable , the Commons of Great Britain in Parliament Assembled .

THat thro' the Decay of Trade , and other great Losses , during the late and present Warr ; as also thro' the Excessive Crowd of Foreigners , who have encroach'd on them in their respective Callings , have thereby fail'd : and to avoid perrishing in Prison , were forc'd to run into the Mint for shelter , where many of them lye on the Ground in a starving Condition for want of House-room , which makes their Condition as miserable as those of the Common side in Newgate .

And whereas it 's suppos'd , that Men of Substance come into the Mint , with a Design to Defraud their Creditors , which throw's an Odium on the poorer sort , who Abhor such unjustifiable practices , and are willing to submit their Conditions to the strictest Examination .

That by Relieving such , the Men of Substance will be expos'd to the power of the Law . And if thought fit , a Clause may be inserted , wherein it shall be Premunire in any Man to Resist a Legal Process .

Wherefore they most humbly refer their unheard of Misery and Distress to this August Assembly as your Own poor Natives , and most humbly Pray , that out of your Charitable Goodness , you will please to allow them the full benefit of the Act for Relief of Insolvent Debtours in as ample a mannor as if Actually Prisoners in the several Goales in and about the Cities of London and Westminster .

And they shall ever Pray , &c.

THE CASE Of the poor People in the Mint .
