A Measure With Some Pentures That Merit Consideration. Bautimonrr, Md., Dec. 21.—-In accords jance with the views of Judge Wright, of the criminal court, some and following to extent the English law, Mr. , Lewis Hoeheimer has prepared a Dill i which will be submitted to the next session of the legislature, giving the courts the power to suspend sentence in cer where the | best interests of justice would seem to so direct. The law has operated with excellent results in England, and will | probably meet with the approval of the legislature a law of Me The provisions of the proposed ated “‘Anactin relation to | the 1 al release of offenders,” are as follows: Section 1 }any person leapitaly gard being ha antecedents of the off ain criminal cases and heeome co That upon the conviction of an offense not punishs if itappearstothe cour: that, m 1 + youth, character nil other exte nating circumstanc it is expedient and proper that the offender be released on pro bation of good coaduet, it sali be within the power of the court to direct released upon entering into re with or without a surety Ing such period, not exc the court may direct, toappear and receive sentence when called upon, and in t meantime to keep the peace and be of good behavior Sec. 2 hat he be gnizance, Adur- tw rs, as Thatthe court may pass such or- der in relation to Costs as it may deem ex- | bedient.

In of the passage of the proposed law the judge could virtually say to such a convic ted person: ‘Go, and sin no more:” but, if found aguin a transgressor, and within the two years, no trial need be had, but sentence can be pronounced under the former conviction. In other words, the suspended sentence hangs over the party's head, a continnous reminder of from has case the necessity for good behavior. The matter of the new law was broached ° some time ago.
