Synopsis:
The debtors in J.S's Ward promised to live quietly. They asked for a Chaplain to perform Divine Worship instead of a prisoner, when those who objected to a burlesque of Religion were locked up. They wished to be allowed to walk on the Green. Donations given by Keeper only to those paying rent for 'beds'. Much rubbish - ¼ of ground fenced off by the Keeper as a garden.
