Origin of bail

The first occasion on which this
alleviation of hardship was conceded, was that
on which it was granted to a Suitor who, in
the character of a Defendant had been punished
as above, without so much as pretence of criminality
on his part in any shape. If two persons
could be found, each of whom, in case of
his escape, was content to bind himself to double
the amount of the sum claimed on the
score of debt, he was then, in the event of their
being approved of and so binding themselves, released
from imprisonment, after having suffered
it till they could be found. These bondsmen were
by a joint appellation, termed bail: no bail, no
release: The wretch continued a prisoner during
life.
