Rankrupts in Livery.

At one time in England and Scot
land bankrupts were compelled to
wear distinctive dress. This was a
result Of enactments passed at various
times in Scotland from the year 1906
to 1858. The Edir burgh court Of ses-
sions specified the dress to be of paru
color, one half yellow and tie other
brown, something after the style OF
the dress now worn in English pris-
ons by the worst class Of prisoners,
those who have attempted to escape
or been guilty Of murderous assaults
on officers. The enactment also pro-
vided that the bankrupt should be ex-
hibited publicly in the market place
Of his town for period Of two hours
and then sent away, condemned to
wear .Ae dress until such time as he
had paid his debts or some one else
had done 1t for him.
Although this was a period Of laws
wich can only be ascribed as fsroci-
Gus, this law was such an outrage on
public sentiment that in 1888 it was
so far repealed that the wearing Of
the dress was only compulsory in
cases in which fraud had been proved
or, curiously enough, if the bankrupt
had been convicted Of smuggling. The
same practice was legal, but not gen.
orally in force in England down to the
year 1886. The idea was, Of course,
to warn persons who might have
given credit that the bankrupt was
not able to pay, but popular senti-
ment soon recognized that it was
wholly unfair to impose such exces-
sive penalties on man who might
have become bankrupt through no
fault Of his own.

The discovery up % tao fall Of 1858
Of no less than 10 heaies q victims

Murders occurred daily. almost hour
ly. Had there been re most perfect
system Of legal procedure time Woulo
not have permitted Of the orderly
trial of offenders, so frequent were
the crimes. Alder Gulch continued TO
disgorge It's treasure in q STEADY
stream, and the very excess OF its
bounty excited the most selfish pas
sions Of men. The heart Of man
possessed with the thirst for gold Is
like the country where gold Is pro-
duced-it is wild and barren, and
the flowers wither.
It must not be supposed that during
these long months Of sickening dread
and doubt attempts had not been
made to organize justice. Rude courts
were established and the guilt or in
nocence Of offenders submitted to
regularly chosen juries, but the swag-
gering outlaws would boldly force
their way through the lines of specta-
tors and into the presence Of the
qualified twelve men, announcing
their determination to aTenge upon
every one connected with the case.
an; outcome other than acquittal.
Witnesses and jurors under these
circumstances were afraid for their
lives, and justice had miscarried un-
til the outlaws, seeing the blanch OF
fear everywhere, were supreme. In
the early stages Of this reign Of terror
some Of the road agents had been
tried, found guilty and condemned to
death by unanimous vote, but between
conviction and punishment motions
to reconsider had intervened, and the
Vacillating mob, through fear or re-
lenting doubt, had revoked the action
Of the previous hour.
