To the Editor af Tie Chicago Irtbu.n:
S1n; Permit mo, through tho columns Of THE
TRIBUNE to call attention to tho following SEQ
ton OF tho Revised Criminal Colo passed by tho
last General Assembly:
314. W1rHrEssEs TO NEaooH1zE.. s Is, When tha

Or Justice olthb Teaco Rhall bind, BY recognizance,
st1ch witnesses against tho prisoner ns 10 dccit.a mute

nEanco Of tho oGeIss, and Ill which tho rlsoner Bllail
ho ol to answer: proeM<d, No such witne3n shall le
re'lllre to givo ohor security thnn Ills roc ogpt-
zAaee for such appearances. [ r. $. 1879, y. 1851,
The only substantial diireronco betwoen this
and the former law Is tho additon Of tho p;royl-
30: ''No auoh witnoss shnl DO roquirod to give
othor security than his own recognizanco for
such appearance; )" 1t being tho lutont OF tho
Legislature that no witnesa In criminal casca
SHOULD bo imprisoned for taiuro to giyo eou,,rity
for bis appearance, only his personal rccogut-
zanco being required. Judicial oncora generally
seem to be ignorant Of tho chango thus worked
in the law, and continue to. i1nprlaon witucvuos
for failure to furnish security, as ,yaa done but
a fow days ago in Chicago, III tho caso Of SCAN
ada Dill. reported in yonr co1nmuu. There il
now no authority forit, aud JulsoH md Justices
