Origin orthe FERN "straw Rn.i...

The origin OF ehe familiar phrases
straw bail' and "a man OF straw" is a
most curious one. 1t dates back 200
years. when the practice of entering
worthless bail was common. The exact
methods have not been transmitted 10
posterNy, but in several old English
works Is to be found reference 10 them.
In one OF these, FIeldng's Life of iona
than Wild" the ,ohef-catcher, we read
mat Jonathan's aunt married q man
who was famous for so friendly q dis
position that he was bail for above 100
persons in one year. He had also the
remarkable honor of walking to West
minister with straw in It's shoe" IT
seems that at one time when English
lawyers wished to procure witnesses
with elastic consciences. or men who
would go bail for their clients, ,chey went
INTO Westminster Hall. into which the
principal courts of law opened, and there
would quickly recognize the men they
wanted by glancing ut ,.heir shoes. from
which protruded straw or two, thus
indicating their calling. Because Of this
trade mark, so TO speak. these profess
sionai witnesses or bal-goers became
known as men of straw" or ones who
were willing, for consideration. TO en-
ter straw bail"
