Limitation of Prosecutions.

To the Editor 0f the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Ex-Judge Munson. of Seymour. before
 Judge Culver, of the Superior Court, criminal
 side, made a forcible argument yesterday on the present reading of the statute law limit ing the period for prosecutions to three years.
 His point rested on the language of the statutes of 1875, page 545, which reads as follows:
 Section 1. ssNo person shall be prosecuted for the punishment is may be, Imprisonment in the
 State prison except within three next after the offense shall have be- committed" Although the section contains other points, that above quoted is not again referred to, but Is left as it is for both the rule and guide.
 Mir Munson held, in language and force of unusual power and beauty, that the only interpretation that could be given to the ! statute was, that no citizen shall have the stigma of crime resting on him longer than | three years, unless within that period 1t shall be proved; for after three years the gates are not ajar" and ''the portals are closed as \ against his adversary" and "the citizen IS ! free,' ''for the period within which he can | be prosecuted or persecuted, is ended" \ Any other construction would admit of | holding prosecutions open, and indictments | too, for an indefinite period of time, the \ which would be unsanctlhed persecution, ] and libel on republican institutions. % | MANHATTAN.
