IMPRISONMENT For DEBT.
A Humane Amendment to Cruel Law
OF tile state OF New York.

A Humane Amendment to Cruel Law
OF tile state OF New York.
New York has not for many years
been disgraced by the existence of a
law authorizing imprisonment for debt
pure and simple, but it has been within
the discretion of the courts to punish
alleged fraudulent debtors by an un-
limited term of imprisonment. A bill
was passed by the last Legislature of
that State, which, by the approval Of
the Governor, has Just become law.
limiting imprisonment for debt in civil
actions TO period OF six months. The
effect of this humane amendment to
the old statute will be TO set at liberty
large number Of imprisoned debtors
throughout the State, who have been
incarcerated for varying periods.
The cases of some Of these poor
debtors are such As to appeal strongly
TO the sense OF justice and humanity,
and the wonder Is that the undue Sc
verify of the law was not long since
abated. The case Of Augustine X. Nc
Donald. who has been lying in Ludlow
street Jail, New York City, for more
than eight years past, is one of this
kind. It appears that in 1873 McDon-
aid received an award from the Gov
ernment Of S2OO.OOO for cotton de-
stroyed by the Federal troops during
the war OF the rebellion. Tc Sc
cure this result he had expended
among the lawyers aud lobbyists
Of Washington about half the award,
and, with what remained, had gone TO
New York City and embarked in a sue
ccssful brokerage business. Soon
aiterward he was arrested for non
payment Of judgment of S5O,0 in
favor OF firm OF Washington lobby
lists. whom he had never employed and
never had heard OF until confronted by
the Judgment, which had been OBJ
tanned by default and without any
notice to him. Being unable to furnish
bail, he was thrust into Jail, where he
would doubtless have remained until
his death but for the timely passage OF
the law referred TO. As ii is, he goes
out OF prison a broken-down old man
OF sixty. 10 be dependent for the rest OF
his lie upon the charity Of relatives.
