In nearly every country, until com paratively recent times, debtors have tieen subject to Imprisonment After the panic of ltC5, one hundred and ono thousand writs for debt were Issued In Kngllind. ' In V4fV, wraa tbouaaad pssr- sons were sent to Umdon prisons for debt, and on Januiry 1, 1S40, seventeen hundred persons fre held for debt In England and WaK one thousand ln Ireland, and less tban one hundred In Scotland. From tnie to time modifi cations In the lain governing the Im prisonment of debnrs have been made, so that fewer deKors are Imprisoned for this crime end year. In 1820 there vere three thousand debtors In prison n Massachusetts, ten thousand In New lork, seven thousand In Pennsylvania, three , thousand In Maryland, and I like proportion In other States. Many of these persons Were Jailed for debs of one dollar. The law providing for the Imprisonment of men w ho could not pay their debts as shown to be Impracticable by statistics taken from Philadelphia, where In 1829 there were one ttioosand and eighty five debtors Imprisoned for debts amounting to twetty-five thonsand dol Inrs. The expens? of keeping these persons In confinement was three hnn dred and sixty-two thousand dollars, which wns paid by the city, and the amount recovered by this method was two hundred and ninety-five dollars.
