Yes
.
I
mean
who
are
able
to
go
outside
.
Not
prisoners
.
’
‘
Yes
,
there
is
,
’
said
Roker
.
‘
There
’
s
an
unfortunate
devil
,
who
has
got
a
friend
on
the
poor
side
,
that
’
s
glad
to
do
anything
of
that
sort
.
He
’
s
been
running
odd
jobs
,
and
that
,
for
the
last
two
months
.
Shall
I
send
him
?
’
‘
If
you
please
,
’
rejoined
Mr
.
Pickwick
.
‘
Stay
;
no
.
The
poor
side
,
you
say
?
I
should
like
to
see
it
.
I
’
ll
go
to
him
myself
.
’
The
poor
side
of
a
debtor
’
s
prison
is
,
as
its
name
imports
,
that
in
which
the
most
miserable
and
abject
class
of
debtors
are
confined
.
A
prisoner
having
declared
upon
the
poor
side
,
pays
neither
rent
nor
chummage
.
His
fees
,
upon
entering
and
leaving
the
jail
,
are
reduced
in
amount
,
and
he
becomes
entitled
to
a
share
of
some
small
quantities
of
food
:
to
provide
which
,
a
few
charitable
persons
have
,
from
time
to
time
,
left
trifling
legacies
in
their
wills
.
Most
of
our
readers
will
remember
,
that
,
until
within
a
very
few
years
past
,
there
was
a
kind
of
iron
cage
in
the
wall
of
the
Fleet
Prison
,
within
which
was
posted
some
man
of
hungry
looks
,
who
,
from
time
to
time
,
rattled
a
money
-
box
,
and
exclaimed
in
a
mournful
voice
,
‘
Pray
,
remember
the
poor
debtors
;
pray
remember
the
poor
debtors
.
’
The
receipts
of
this
box
,
when
there
were
any
,
were
divided
among
the
poor
prisoners
;
and
the
men
on
the
poor
side
relieved
each
other
in
this
degrading
office
.
Although
this
custom
has
been
abolished
,
and
the
cage
is
now
boarded
up
,
the
miserable
and
destitute
condition
of
these
unhappy
persons
remains
the
same
.
We
no
longer
suffer
them
to
appeal
at
the
prison
gates
to
the
charity
and
compassion
of
the
passersby
;
but
we
still
leave
unblotted
the
leaves
of
our
statute
book
,
for
the
reverence
and
admiration
of
succeeding
ages
,
the
just
and
wholesome
law
which
declares
that
the
sturdy
felon
shall
be
fed
and
clothed
,
and
that
the
penniless
debtor
shall
be
left
to
die
of
starvation
and
nakedness
.
This
is
no
fiction
.
Not
a
week
passes
over
our
head
,
but
,
in
every
one
of
our
prisons
for
debt
,
some
of
these
men
must
inevitably
expire
in
the
slow
agonies
of
want
,
if
they
were
not
relieved
by
their
fellow
-
prisoners
.
Turning
these
things
in
his
mind
,
as
he
mounted
the
narrow
staircase
at
the
foot
of
which
Roker
had
left
him
,
Mr
.
Pickwick
gradually
worked
himself
to
the
boiling
-
over
point
;
and
so
excited
was
he
with
his
reflections
on
this
subject
,
that
he
had
burst
into
the
room
to
which
he
had
been
directed
,
before
he
had
any
distinct
recollection
,
either
of
the
place
in
which
he
was
,
or
of
the
object
of
his
visit
.
The
general
aspect
of
the
room
recalled
him
to
himself
at
once
;
but
he
had
no
sooner
cast
his
eye
on
the
figure
of
a
man
who
was
brooding
over
the
dusty
fire
,
than
,
letting
his
hat
fall
on
the
floor
,
he
stood
perfectly
fixed
and
immovable
with
astonishment
.
Yes
;
in
tattered
garments
,
and
without
a
coat
;
his
common
calico
shirt
,
yellow
and
in
rags
;
his
hair
hanging
over
his
face
;
his
features
changed
with
suffering
,
and
pinched
with
famine
—
there
sat
Mr
.
Alfred
Jingle
;
his
head
resting
on
his
hands
,
his
eyes
fixed
upon
the
fire
,
and
his
whole
appearance
denoting
misery
and
dejection
!
Near
him
,
leaning
listlessly
against
the
wall
,
stood
a
strong
-
built
countryman
,
flicking
with
a
worn
-
out
hunting
-
whip
the
top
-
boot
that
adorned
his
right
foot
;
his
left
being
thrust
into
an
old
slipper
.
Horses
,
dogs
,
and
drink
had
brought
him
there
,
pell
-
mell
.
There
was
a
rusty
spur
on
the
solitary
boot
,
which
he
occasionally
jerked
into
the
empty
air
,
at
the
same
time
giving
the
boot
a
smart
blow
,
and
muttering
some
of
the
sounds
by
which
a
sportsman
encourages
his
horse
.
