Transcriber's Notes:
The Four Courts Marshalsea was a debtors' prison in Dublin. From wikipedia: “... there was no kind of punishment in the debtors' gaol. They were held there until they made an arrangement with their creditors, but they had everything that their means would allow them to have in prison.” John Dillon 1898.
