This article appears in Volume V17, Page 773 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MARSHALSEA , a prison formerly existing in Southwark, London. It was attached to the
court
  of that name held by the steward and
marshal
  of the king's
house
  (see LORD STEWARD and
MARSHAL
 ). The date of its first
establishment
  is unknown, but it existed as early as the reign of
Edward
  III. It was consolidated in 1842 with the queen's bench and the
Fleet
 , and was then described as " a prison for debtors and for persons charged with contempt of Her Majesty's courts of the Marshalsea, the
court
  of the queen's palace of Westminster, and the high court of admiralty, and also for admiralty prisoners under sentence of courts martial." It was abolished in 1849. The Marshalsea Prison is described in Charles Dickens' Little Dorrit.
