The language referring to collection of the fine was omitted as obsolete and repugnant to the more humane policy of modern law which does not impose criminal consequences on the innocent. The words ‘‘every person so convicted of treason’’ were omitted as redundant. Minor change was made in phraseology. Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1994
