G. lOUs on the Label. ESTABLISHMENT of the INSOLVENT ACT in INDIA, and OPENING of the FIRST COURT for the RE LIEF of INSOLVENT DEBTORS at BOMBAY: From the Bombay Courier. On the Court being assembled the Honourable Mr. Justice Gums spoke to the following effect : In opening this Court for the relief of Insolvent Debtors in this Presidency, I have sincere pleasure in congratulating this community on the introduction of a measure, so much called for on every principle of humanity and of justice, and by every con sideration of that which is inseparable from these principles, the welfare and prosperity of the society on whose affairs they are to operate. Notwithstanding this, I ant well aware that there is likely to exist, and, as I am informed, there does exist, among those whose interests are likely to be affected by this measure, a difference of opinion in regard to its advantageous nature; and it would be surprising if on so important, and so novel a measure, in reference to the mercantile Society of India, difference of opinion should not exist. It is, without doubt, a measure most important in its conse quences and most extensive in its operation. It is not only to alter materially the nature of the relation be tween Debtor and Creditor after the Debts are contracted, and the parties have assumed that relation to each other, but it is to alter the foonog on which they shall agree to contract this relation, and completely to vary the considerations which shall weigh with either party, with the one when be proposes to contract a Debt• with the other when he agrees to give credit or to advance money, In order to understand its probable operation, it is necessary that I should explain the provisions of the statute:—There are three classes of persons whom this act contemplates as subject to its pro visions. I. Persons who are imprisoned for Debt, and who are desirous of surrendering all their effects for the payment of their Creditors so far as they will go. These persons are entitled to pe tition the Court within a fortnight front the time of their being imprisoned, assigning over to the Officer of the Courrall theft real and personal estate and effects which they have in possession or ex pectancy ; so that from the moment of their petitioning they are entirely divested of all their property and of all tights of action against those who are their Debtors, which become instantly vested in the *Seer, the Common Assignee, for the benefit of all the Cre ditors, to be shared equally among them, according to dielmount and nature of their Debts. These persons are limited in the time of presenting their Petit* for relief to a fortnight frein the time of theft impttsonnieot. un less with special leave of the Court, which may receive a Petition of this sort at any time if it sees cause ;—and they are so limited because the relief is not intended for such as may seek to tire out • their Creditors by enduring a long imprisonment, but for those, who being unable to pay their Debts, ►how the mosrproinpt desire to do all the justice they can to all their Creditors by at once sur rendering all they bate in order to a fair distribution. The Second class of persona that fall Within the view of the Act are such as not being in prison at.the 'oaten= of aoy creditor, are yet conscious of being unable to pay their Debts, and willing to deal fairly by all their creditors, so far as their:circumstances . will allow. Any person so situated is entitled in like manner to peti tion the Court, and with such petition to present an assignment of Us estate and effects to the proper officer, for the common beings of all his creditors. Bat to entitle such persoo to relief, he muit be able to produce property to the antoont of half his debti; and' the object of this provision is obvious—to act as an euctfuragement to men oboe imprudence or misfortune .has 'Ordered them fufw6 vent, not to go on struggling with difficulties which may render the dinadon of their creditors worse without iasprovbs the i r own, and the chief effect of which Must •be istilbady 'irs` t waiiitifete : new tveditois ior old—but to let faint Of 1111 00; by 111 . •• • TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1829. early surrender, and to hold out •to those who do other. wise that they must expect no relief from the law until they have gone through an imprisonment. There is no distinction made be tween cases of misfortune which may happen to persons not in trade, and ordinary cases of imprudence and blameable thought leafless. It was probably thought that no general criterion could be fixed on for judging of the degree of blame imputable to the debtor, but the comparative amount of his debts and his means. But a case may easily be put of a person having his fortune, for example, in the bands of an agent or banker, who fails, and who is thus left with much less than half the amount of his Debts, to whose case all the considerations of the policy of the law would apply, both as regarding humanity to the Debtor and justice to his Creditors.—The Act is temporary, being only to continue till the Ist of March, 1833, and is avowedly intended as an experimental measure ; so that if it shall be thought proper to confer a discre tionary power on the Court to receives petition of Insolvents in the like cases, or if there shall appear to be any other cases un- Provided for. Parliament will have an opportunity of supplying the defect. 3. The third and only other class of persons in the contempla tion of the Act, are persons engaged in trade, and deemed Traders by the Act 6th of the King to amend the Laws in England relating to Bankrupts. Any person, a creditor of such trader to the amount of 1,000 sicca rupees, or two creditors to the amount of 1,500 aim rupees, or three or more creditors to the amount of 2,000 sicca rupees, may present a Petition to the Court, praying the Court to proceed in like manner as if the Insolvent had himself petitioned, and the first adjudication of the Court finding that the Debtor has committed an act of Insolvency, vests by force of the law all the property of the Insolvent in the common assignee for the benefit of his creditors, in the lame manner and to the same effect as the debtor's assignment in the two former cases. The law has fixed on two circumstances, which are to constitute such an act of Insolvency as shall entitle a creditor to petition in the man ner I have mentioned. First, the Debtors being in prison for Debt for 21 days. Secondly, his departing from within the limits of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the Presidency with intent to defeat or delay his creditors. Agreeably to the terms of the Act—and the powers conferred on the Supreme Court, the Court has framed Rules and Regula tions for the Proceedings in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, which may be seen at the clerk's office. It is only necessary fur me to state at present. that It is provided that due notice be given in the Newspapers, English and Native, of every application for relief, or for rendering a person Bankrupt under the Act ;—and sufficient time is to elapse to enable such of his creditors to appear as live at or near the Presidency.—After this, the busineu of collecting his effects and other matters, preliminary to a general distribution, will proceed—but before that distribution is made, sufficient. time must be allowed for all his known creditors to have notice who live within the British Dominions in India. It-iv provided by the Act that where an insolvent petitioning the Court for relief shall be possessed of any real or Personal Estate, and no Commission of Bankruptcy shall issue. it skill be lawful for the Assignee appointed by the Court to proceed to get poesession of the Estate, and to dispose of the same for the benefit of the Cre ditors, that-the Court, on the Bankrupt doing fairly all that'is re quired, may grant hint a protection from arrest during the pleasure of the Court—or discharge him from Prison, if in Prison. It is also provided, that if any Insolvent, at the time of making assign ment, shall hold any public office, appointment, or benefice. ad', Military, or Ecclesiastical, and if his interest in such appointment be saleable, such interest, for the purpose of sale, shall be trans ferred to the assignee for the benefit of his creditors ; and if his in. terest therein may oot be lawfully sold, the Court may order the Insolvent'to pay a proportion of his Receipts therefrom to the As signee. By f 63 of the Act, it is enacted, " That whenever it shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of any Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors, upon the application of any Insolvent, his assignee or assignees, or any of his or her creditors, that the Estate of such Insolvent Debtor which shall have come to the bands of the assignee or assignees shall have produced sufficient to pay and discharge Three-fourths 'of the amount of the Debts which shall have been established in such Court, or that Creditors to the amount of more than one-half in number and value of the . Debts which shall have beets so established shall signify their consent in writing thereto, it shall be lawful for such Court to inquire into the conduct of the said Insolvent; and if it shall appear to such Court that the said Insolvent has acted fairly and honestly towards his or her creditors, such Court shall be fully authorised and em powered thereupon to order that the said Insolvent shall be for ever discharged from all Liability whatsoever for or in respect of such Debts so established as aforesaid." These Provisions are for the fair distribution of the effects—and the relief of fair Debtors. But the Act has not been unmindful of the due punishment of those who either fraudulently, or with that degree of thoughtless •eittavagance which can hardly be distin guished front fraud, have betrayed their creditors into trusting them to an extent which they either never meant, or could not reasonably believe they should be in condition to repay. On these the Court has the power of 'maiming in truth a sentence of impri sonment by delaying their discharge from custody for any period net more than three years from the time at which they would •therwi/e be entitled to it.' There are two provisions which should be specially mentioned; one for insolvent married women having separate property, au thorising the benefit of the Act to extend to them on surrendering their separate property only.—This is applicable to eases where they'may by law contract debts.—The other is a provision for in solvent lunatics who are in confinement. In this case the gaoler is bound to give notice to the Court, and if, on Inquiry, the Court shall he satisfied, it is to proceed in the case of such unhappy per son as if be were of sound mind, to the effect of releasing his person and collecting and distributing his property ;—provisling for his subsistence as tire occasion may require. These, very shortly stated, are, I think, the principal provisions of this law. It is, as I have said, a most important statute—and must produce a very material and a very beneficial change in the character of the relation of Debtor and Creditor in India. Where no laws ezistfor compelling the Debtor to make a fair distribution of his properly among his Creditors when he cannot pay all, on one hand,—nor'for releasing the Debtor from the vengeance and resentment of a disappointed Creditor, when he is fairly wiWng•to• do all that the state of his stairs admits of to discharge his debts on the other, the trade of lending money becomes a sort of gambling, and a separate business and mofession, and generally not the most creditable badness and profession. Where men lend money without much'idq'niry into the security of the borrower— Out trust to the effect which their power of punishing Debtors by a protracted, in come cases an endless, imprisonment, will have in frig btening mom men into some caution in this respect, or at least into the keeping within such bound as that they may generally have a fair chance of paying one man by borrowing from another before their Ofrairs are totally desperate, and their credit trre tikevably gape 1 andlisass *di original lender thinks he will, M a .. rest majority of cam, he protty sure tole' out, and be compen sates hi s chances of loss, toed or partial, amounting to a certainty . . • 'of loss in a considerable number of instances—by the extravagant rate of interest he charges in all. Thus the honest, and careful, and industrious man, who has occasion to borrow money for reasonable and legitimate purposei —on good security—is obliged to pay an extravagant rate ot inte rest, in order that his payment may compensate the loss the lender expects to sustain from having trusted a spendthrift, a prodigal, or a needy and thoughtless adventurer. No man can have sat in this Court half of the short time I have done without seeing that this is the state of things here. . The lowest rate of interest charged by the most respectable bousesi and monied men is I per Cent. per month. more than 9 per Cent, per annum ; while the Government obtains money at S per Cent. per annum, and the Banker or Scroll who charges above 9 on his advances, allows only 6 per Cent. on his receipts, an which beagain charges I per Cent. commission, which reduces the Intorost allayed to 6. __lf you compare this ram of Interest. 9 per Cent. to the profit which can be made of matey in any fair speculation, it will be evi dent that no man can borrow money at this rate to embark in any such speculation. These who are engaged in trade or who have money vested in Homes or in Shipping. Many other things are necessary to enable a country to take ad vantage of the largest bounty of nature so as to convert her gifts into wealth generally diffused, and the possession of those things which follow this disuibution of wealth, comfort, civilization. and good morals generally spread among a people.—To this purpose good laws are necessary as well as a just administration of them, and the making of good laws consists rather in the removing of obstacles which occur in the natural path and progress of society than in any elaborate contrivances for accelerating her march.-- These advantages India has never possessed. Any general diffusion of wealth therefore was not to be expected. But I think, considering her natural advantages, a somewhat greater diffusion of wealth, &tad a somewhat greater power of ap plying it to promote its own increase might have been expected. Among many other disadvantages, I think the state of the law of Debtor and Creditor has been one of the greatest, especially in places where, as in this great place of trade, wealth and commerce, have established themselves to a considerable extent,—short as that extent is of what ought to result from its natural advantages, from the liberal and fair bearing of the Government towards the inhabi tants, and its splendid liberality in useful public works, end from the just and equal administration of British laws.—l should say that When a country had advanced even the shorten way on the road of commerce for the improvement of her condition, the very first thing necessary to disembarrass her on her journey is a good system of law applicable to the relation of Debtor and Creditor, of which system oue of the most essential parts is that which relates to the case of Insolvent Debtors—and 'without some system of Bankrupt laws no material advance in trade, industry, and in wealth, can ever be made in any country. Accordingly, ao country in which any such progress has been made has ever existed without it. The foreign countries of Europe early adopted the Roman sod Canon Laws—and with them the Casio Ilesentss—by which a Debtor gave up all to his Creditors.—ind by so doing obtained the release of his person—and a freedom from legal process till be should acquire new wealth though not the Anal discharge of his Debts;-and different regu. lations in the trading countries of Europe gradually modified this process, and adapted it in some particulars to the wants of a more extended commerce. In Itogiand i —whkh rejected the Civil and Canon law though she borrowed largely and profitted largely from the maxims and doctrines of the former—no such preens has ever prevailed,—till the late introduction of the insolvent acts. But so early as the reign of H. 8, a system of Bankrupt Law was introduced—regarding merchants, bet merchants only.—lt was improved in the reigns of Biz. and James I. and several 'oboe quent statute'. These statutes and the learned &positions of them by the Courts down to the present time have been all consolidated by 6 G. 4. e. 16. and these Benefits are now extruded to India by the British legislature.—The leading Objects of Bankrupt Laws are two.-1. That the effects of the Insolvent should be equally di vided among his creditors—no one having an advantage over others from the favour of the Bankrupt, or from soy practice to benefit himself at the expenoe of the rest, both of which in troth are frauds. 2. That on a fair surrender of his effects the Bankrupt should b• free, that he should not be at the mercy of a merciless creditor— ' be pdnished as if for a crime for what may be a miforfuner—or, if btanseabk, without distinction of degree or endurance, the Judge, who is to limit his punishment and decide of its extent being • creditor, irritated, resentful, perhaps justly provoked but not the less unfit to to be a judge in his own cause. In the prison of this very place is an instance of one man 13 or 14 years hi gaol—and there are cases of many who have been in gaol for debt for many years who have all along been receiving support from tie Creditor— having sworn that they are without the means of supporting life.— These persons are evidently suffering a mast undue pasiaksisent, or they are cheating their creditors and guilty of the most criminal perjury. Yet there was no remedy by law.-3. It is an object of all well considered systems of Bankrupt Law to make a distinction between innocent and Criminal Bankrupts. This is done in the statute before us—by giving a power to punish the latter in a manner prescribed by law in the discretion of the Judge. The Benefits of the system of law this introduced will be felt equally by the Lender and the Borrower ;—men will become more careful in lending money and in giving Credit to such as wish to deal with them. They will come to look to the nature of IN security on which they advance money,—or furnish their goody—with a view to certain payment with a reasonable profit—not to a gambling profit with the risk of total less ;—and in considering the Security they will take into consideration the character of the Borrower as well as the known extent of kii fortune.—They will regard an honest, industrious, and careful man of small meats as a safer Debtor than a man of a different character with more apparent wealth—and this will prove equally beneficial to all parties. The prudent man will obtain credit. The thoughtless and pro digal will not, and as to a person of the latter description, this is the very best thing for him ; so the most injurious to him of all things is the careless credit which is here constantly afforded. To Europeans it is the constant source of irretrievable ruin.— How often is a young man here on his very landing offered credit, which to him who perhaps never had the command of 100 rupees in his life appears unbounded ; while hundreds and thousands of rupees are almost forced on him on his bond, which is not worth the clothes on his back, and those perhaps not paid fur ; by all which he is perhaps led into dissipation and extravagance, which end In Ms total ruin ; and talents and good dispositions th.,t might ►ave been of the greate.t beitefis to himself and to society abso lpstely rendered of tio value to either. Itltri'ire the misekiefi of this system confined to Europeans. To • • PRICE SEVENPEN::E. the Natives it is equally injurious—and more so than it mould be in Europe, from the nature of their occasions of expense . In England a man who lives by his industry, as he gels richer increases his usual and daily expense. The labourer, when he is fully employed and gets good wages, and feels that b• has snare money to spend, has a better dinner Leery Sunday—adds s ome little bits of furniture to his stock—and increases his constant every day comfort. The shopkeeper sets up his buggy—takes a house in the country—his wife dresses better. The merchant keeps a more expensive cook,—gives better dinners and more frequent,—drinks finer wines,—lives in a larger and better furnished house,—in short, all classes extend their ordinary and daily expense—and none but the most thoughtless a•d extravagant will go on lot.g doing this with borrowed money constantly added to their debt. But Is this country the great expenses of the natives are merely occasional ; and the ease of getting money ruins them. A man ha• a marriage Is Mt family; and if he can borrow as much money as will enable him to do so be will spend upon it what will render bins an embarrassed man fir life. He will tint unfrcquently go further, and place himself at the mercy of his creditor, to be sent to jail for life if he so chooses. But when it is known that if this measure is had recotit sr to, the borrower may pay his debt by surrendering his litti • all to his creditor., without distinction, rues will hesitate it. thus affording to dude neighbours the means of ruin, without knowing what sort of dimes they have of recovering their own. and will be driven to calculate for their repayment rather on their inquiries into the substance and character of their Debtor than on the tenor inspired by a barbarous power to imprison a beggat fur life if they will Word him the means of the scantiest subsistence. Oa the other hand mossy will be obtained at a reasonable rate lot fair speculations, according to the risk that may be incurred—and if an honest and industrious man is unfortunate in trade, his cle diton who have run a risk in common will suffer the loss in com mon, and the industry sod talents of the Bankrupt will no longer be lost to the public and himself. In framing the Regulations : the court has adhered strictly to the Previsions of theist, with such variations in point of arrang-sent and the supply of such additional provisions under the powers it confers u appeared necessary, on such consideration as can be given to the subject without the benefit of experience— I am hope ful they will be found sulident at least for the commencement-- and where they doll be found deficient or erroneous the defect cars be supplied er the error corrected in the course of that careful attention to the execution of this law which it will be the duty of the Court at all times to give to it. I have - appointed a Gentleman of the Bar, Mr. lawny, to the important Olice of Examiner.—Much will depend on the due dis charge of its duties—in the ascertaining facts, and the preventing deception and fraud. His fitness for the situation cannot he doubt ..4—and the Court has reason to congratulate itselt on having so able an assistant.—His duties will require much care and atten tion to be devoted to them especially in the commencement, but these I am sure he will gladly afford knowing the great benefit, ht• will be conferring on this community. The other G.l.enssen 1 have appointed are Mr. Fitaium., :Le Prothonotary of the flatmate Court, whose integrity and know - ledge of hmisem, and careful attention to it are two weU known to require me to say any thing in his commendation to be common Assignee;—and Mr. Caw, now discharging the duties of Master in Equity and Clerk of the small causes, to be the Clerk,—and I have no doubt his attention will give the same satisfaction Au that capacity, as I hope it has done in the other offices he has for sonic time filled.—The act requires the Court for the relief of insolvent Debtors to be held at Calcutta at least once a mouth ;—at the other Presidential the frequency of its sitting is kft in the discre tion of the Court.—l have thought it right, at least at first, to hold the Court more frequently than once a minds, in order that nothing may be wanting oaths part of theesurt to extend the bene fits of the law to those who require them without delay.—Whether it will be necessary to hold the Court so frequently hereafter we shall be able to judge when we see the amount of business to come before the meanwhile the Court has resolved to sit for the relief of Insolvent Debtors on the first and third Monday in every montla—and it will therefore sit again on the first Monday in April. FRENCH PAPERS. From the Messager des Chambres of Saturday. VERA CRUZ, Aug. 15. Utters front Twain, dated the I Ith instant, positively ar.• pounce that General Santa-Anna was in that city with the troops which he commands, and was making all the necessary prepara tions to receive the Spaniards with vigour. These letters add, that ft was reported at Timpani that the Spaniards bad obtained some advantages at Cabo-Rojo over from 150 to 200 citizen., whose intrepidity bad carried them too boldly into the presence of the enemy ; but that, however, the Spaniards were about to expe rience the vengeance of the Mexicans, as there were already in the environs of that city 12,000 men united, and determuird either in conquer or die. 'l'be Spanish squadron put to sea again on the I2th. with a view, it is said, of seeking tor a second division of troops at the Havannas. There is nothing astonishing in this first success of the Spa niards ;we expected it, and we foretold it beforehand. Tampico Viejo is a suburb open on every aide, without any defence agsaust the approach of the enemy; and the Alexican Government could not be guilty of the lolly of sacrificing troops of the line 111 order to prevent the Spaniards from taking possession of it. The inha bitants at that town, with the exception of the foreigners, have fleJ into the interior. It i► there that the Mexican army ail. Wait tor .the invaders, hod evil to them will be the day when they sh.tll come to an engagement in the mountains and defiles, which protect Mexico better than a numerous army. The following details are given in a letter front Tampico : " We knuw positively that General Santa Anna lett Via Cruz with 3,000 men, in order to meet the enemy ; 3.000 men are still on the road from San Luiz, Rio Verde, and Valle del Maio, 't•J form a junction with the corps of Santa ALMA. " The Mexicans, alter having been driven from the eminence, returned • towards Altamire and l'arnuco. The number of men who were hi Tampico and the environs, when the Spaniards ap proached, is estimated at 1,500. *lhey are commanded by Cu!. Legatos. " At the moment when the enemy approached, Laguna went to the different merchants who had just !mewed money from the bi terior by a cansbacia. and summoned them to deliver it up to him, by order of his Government, so that it should nut fall into tbo bands of the :Spaniards. He sent a sundae summons to the Engli h Consul, but as he refused to obey it, a threat was held oat to him that be should be shot.
