Imprisonment for Debt.
[Bucksport Clipper. ]


We made call at the Ellsworth jail last
week and was deeply panied TO find there, as
prisoner for debt. Nelson Wardwel. of
Penobscot. We learned that he has been
in Jail going on four months. Mr. w. is an
old neighhor and schoolmate of ours, and
after hasty interview We thought we would
write his creditor a friendly letter, interced-
ing for Wardvell's release, but on reflection
it occurred TO that man who would
cause the Imprisonment OF a neighbor for a
debt, must either have just grounds or great
pruvocatIons TO proceed TO such barbarous
extremes in order to get satisfaction, and
that it the prayers of the prisoner, his wife
and children and others failed to obtain
mercy no plea from us would avail.
Bu, We do take this opportunity TO utter
our solemn petition to the law makers Of
this State TO repeal that relic of barharism,
imprisonment for debt. 1t works great
injury to the creditor, the debtor and the
public. If debtor is really unable to pay
his debt, ii is simply, in this enlightened
day, refined cruelty to mprlson him. If he
is rascal. the poor debtors oath will clear
him and he creditor be no richer. The cred
itor saws: What protection ean We then
have II YOU repeal the law
Pra, what protection do you get now from
that law In the case above a creditor has
been paving his prisoners board upward Of
three months and pray where come, IN the
recompense. except the satisfaction Of pun
ishing his debtor at the expense of The cred
itOr IL il double-edged knife and cuts on
both sides.
II this law is repealed there will be less
