Imprisoned for Failure to Repay Debt in 1813 Maryland - John Ball of Prince George's County Petitions for Release from Prison

Maryland — Prince Georges [sic] county, to wit[1]

Application being made to me the subscriber, in the recess of Prince Georges county court, as an associate judge of the first judicial district of Maryland, by petition in writing of John Ball of Prince Georges county, praying for the benefit of the "Act for the relief of sundry insolvent debtors" and the supplements thereto, on the terms mentioned in the said acts, a schedule of his property and a list of his creditors on oath, as far as he can ascertain them being and next to his petition, and the said John Ball having satisfied me by competent testimony that he has resided in the state of Maryland two years immediately preceding the time of his application; having also satisfied me that he is now in confinement for debts, and praying to be discharged therefrom. I do therefore order and adjudge that the said John Ball be discharged from his imprisonment, and that by causing disorder to be inserted in the National Intelligencer, weekly for three months successfully before the first Monday in April next, give notice to his creditors to appear before Prince Georges county court on the first Monday in April next, to shew cause, if any they have, why the said John Ball should not have the benefit of the several acts as prayed. Given under my hand this sixth day of October 1812.

[1] Debt, failure to repay a loan, was a serious matter in Maryland during the colonial, revolutionary, and Antibeluum periods in Maryland. Failure to repay could and did result in imprisonment.  Any attempt to explain Maryland's confusing, complicated, complex, contradictory and inconsistent insolvency and bankruptcy laws is beyond the scope of a mere footnote. In a very real sense much of Maryland's political history is the tale of relations and resulting tensions between creditors and debtors. Those who lent and those who borrowed were at odds as to personal, social, ethical and moral responsibilities. When criminal fraud was layered upn economic inability to repay a loan, penalties and punishment quickly became entangled.

In the decades immediately following the founding of the English colony of Maryland by the Calvert family, the role of creditors was firmly established. Legislation was introduced as early as 1637 to address default on loans. A debtor could find his future labor indentured to his creditor or creditors. In other words he would become bound contractually to work off the debt. Almost at once, debtors asked for relief. For example if a debt was called in during the growing season and the debtor physically held so that he could not plant, cultivate and harvest his crop of tobacco, it then stood to reason he could in no way pay off his financial obligation to the creditor that had brought legal claim against him.

Conditions of imprisonment for debt could be extreme in Prince George's County as well as the rest of the State of Maryland. In 1731, the General Assembly order an investigation of debtor's prison conditions and the treatment of prisoners by the county sheriff, Richard Lee.  . On Friday July 23, 1731,

"Mr Ralph Crabb in Obedience to an Order made at last Sessions of Assembly Ordering him and Mr Edward Sprigg to repair to the Gaol of the Sherriff of Prince Georges County and to Examine the Prisoners Concerning their being beat & abused by the said Sherriff Return to the House the Depositions of Several prisoners by them taken with a Recognizance taken of the said Sherriff for to keep the peace & be of Good Behaviour.(Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly, May, 1730-August, 1732. Volume 37, Page 237).

see also:  Volume 37, Page 118 "Whereas this House is Informed that Mr Richard Lee Sherrif of Prince Georges County hath during the Sitting of this Assembly beat and Abused Some Languishing Prisoners in his Custody and threatned others with Cruel and Severe Usage for Petitioning the Assembly for their Liberty and this House having taken the said Information into Consideration and being of Opinion that if the Same be true such Treatment is inhuman Cruel and a Violation of the Libertys of the Brittish Subject as also an Insult on and a Violent breach of the Priviledges of this House. It is Ordered and Resolved by this House that Mr Ralph Crabb and Mr Edward Sprigg Justices of the Peace of Prince Georges County and Members of this House Repair in some Convenient time to the Gaol of the said Sherrif And in his the said Sherrifs presence Examine' the prisoners and such other Persons as Can Inform them of the Truth of the Complaint made against the said Sherrif and return the Examinations to be by them taken to this House the next Session of Assembly in Order to be Considered, and if they find the facts Charged Against the said Sherrif to be true that they Cause him to Enter into Recognizance with Sufficient Suritys to be of good behaviour and to keep the peace in the Interim with all the good people of this Province Especially to the said prisoners."  

By the end of the Proprietary government and the establishment of the State of Maryland the contours of credit versus debt; Senate versus House of Delegates; specie (coins and precious metals) versus paper money;  Federalists versus Democratic-Republicans (Anti-Federalists or Jeffersonian Democrats); restrictive property requirements for voter qualifications versus universal enfranchisement for western European males; the Potomac Valley, Georgetown, and Bladensburg versus the Patuxent River planters, Baltimore merchants, and the Chesapeake watermen; - were shaping the political discourse and the history of Maryland.

Restricting Who Can Vote is Nothing New - 1814

BALTIMORE PATRIOT.

"Free-trade and no impressment. "

TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 8, 1814.

THE DISFRANCHISING [sic] PROPOSITION.[1]

               We rejoice to find, that the public nerve of Maryland is yet sensitive. — We rejoice to find, that the voice of public indignation rings loud against the proposition, which we noticed yesterday. A few, to be sure, urge that as the monster was strangled so soon; though can ought to record its obituary. But the general voice more correctly cries aloud for an exposure of the infamy of its parents. But, how can we expose it more fully, friends, and to state the fact. This we shall continue to do— Yes; a Federalist proposed to disenfranchise the militiamen of Maryland; if they dared defend their country. "Tell it in gas!  Publish it in the streets of Askelon!"[2]

               But, we renew this subject, for the purpose of proving to the people, that it is not narrowly the soldier, in defense of the state, that the Federalists would make a slave of; but, everyone, who did not come up to their standard of merit, viz. property. The intelligent and sensible of those states, which retain property qualifications, it is believed, at this day, generally admit their futility. It seems now generally conceded, that and the protection of life, liberty and property is the object of civil government; it is very absurd to say, that those who have not the last, shall have no voice in choosing those, who are to protect the two first, far more important as they are. In the words of a good writer," it seems at length to be pretty generally admitted, that the love of country, and the practice of virtue, are not confined to the men of property; that patriotism and political rectitude are as common among the laboring poor, as among the drowsy rich."  Paulding, Williams and Van Wert, where of the class of incorruptible poor; Arnold and Hutchinson, were rich and traitors to their country. If human happiness be the legitimate aim and in the government, and if man, not in animate, matter not property, B it's true object; then it follows, that it is from men, not from property, that the general will or the government principle is to be collected."

               In Maryland, however, there are few, if any, of either party, who openly denied the correctness of [?] reasoning. But, which party have [sic] acted in conformity to it?

               In 1800, the delegates were Democratic, and the Senate federal. The Democrats proposed an abolition of property qualification. The federal Senate opposed it, and instead of it, attempted to hamper the right of suffrage still more; by requiring not merely a property qualification, but an assessment on the assessor's books. In 1801 and 1802, the Democrats obtain the ascendancy in both branches, and established universal suffrage by ballot, on the overthrow of all property qualifications. Thus, not only rationally extending the right to all, who were to live under the laws; but protecting by the ballot, from that chance which might occur of browbeating the poor man, by the purse-proud dictator.[3]

               But, with their present majority, fraudulently and infamously obtained, by cheating the people of Allegany [County,] you see citizens of Maryland, the tories [sic] are playing their old game. True, they shrunk from the trial. But they showed to you, what they would do, if they dared. They thrust forward the cloven-foot, though they were anxious afterwards took drawback, and height.[4] —  There cannot be a shadow of doubt, that the men, who would even think of depriving the militia man, in the service of his state and country, of his rights as a voter, wood, if they dared, gladly send ballot boxes on board Cockburn's fleet; and take the votes of men actually in his Majesty's service, to choose those, who wished to aid it.[5]

He also directed the capture and burning of Washington on 24 August 1814 as an advisor to Major General Robert Ross during the War of 1812. He went on to be First Naval Lord and in that capacity sought to improve the standards of gunnery in the fleet, forming a gunnery school at Portsmouth; later he ensured that the Navy had latest steam and screw technology and put emphasis of the ability to manage seamen without the need to resort to physical punishment. {Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_George_Cockburn,_10th_Baronet]

The following remarks on Wright's Resolution, in the House of Representatives of the U. S.  to suspend the right of trial by jury, and to substitute Martial Law in lieu thereof, are copied from the Ev. Post.[1]   

               Martial Law . — In a paroxism [sic] some of rage and madness at the disappointment they have met, with in their attempts to carry on a war against the opinions and feelings of the people in a great and powerful section of the union, the administration have [sic] had the desperate hardihood to propose, by one of their leading members in Congress, to tear from the citizens of this country the right to trial by Jury.   This right, on which more perhaps than on any other, depend the lasting existence of a free government; this right, sacredly securing to the citizen in all criminal cases by the Constitution, has been vitally attacked on the floor of Congress, and an attempt made to deprive the accused of it under the awful charge of HIGH TREASON itself; a charge the most heinous that can arise between the government and the citizens, involving life, death and confiscation. Yes, fellow-citizens, governor Wright of Maryland[2], one of the leading members on the side of the administration, has brought forward a formal resolution to extend the rules and articles of war two spies, to all the Citizens of the United States.  This, if adopted, will expose every man residing near a camp, to the bloody vengeance of any villian [sic]  who may happen to be commander in chief. If only to corrupt wretches can be found to charge the most respectable citizen who may happen to visit a camp, or to live near it, with being a Spy, this commander may seize him in an hour, try him by a hand of subservient officers the next, and the third hang him on the first tree.[3]
