Excerpt from Pickwickian Manners and Customs
To begin: We have now no arrest for debt, with the attendant sponging-houses, Cursitor Street, sherifi's' officers, and bailiffs; and no great Fleet Prison, Marshal sea, or King's Bench for imprisoning debtors. There are no polling days and hustings, with riotous proceedings, or hocussing Of voters; and no bribery on a splendid scale.
