RIDLEY said that a great defect In the pre-, sou low was, that it placed no check upon the fraudulent transfer of the lesolvent's property. Mr. BENNET thought his Majesty's Government Were to blame le tamely standing by, while the whole country were calling out ter a repeal of this measure. IS was the slaty of Ministers to orletnate she Amendment to it; for they received large salaries from the public for such purpci ma. The Game Laws also was a subject which equally Ballad for consideratloo, was equally reprobated by the whole country, and to which his Majesty's Government were equily indifferent. tie contended that not a moment should he lost iu complying with the wishes of the coun try, in carrying into effect such an amendment of the Insol vent Debtor's Art, as would give general satisfaction. It. was in every reroect exceptinaahle, and, In fact, It could not be eonsiderem better than a legalized system of fraud. Mr. Secretary PEEL defender! the tioverament. If the Hey, Memlier did bat for a moment reflect how Mi *lli miters were engaged from scorning till night, he would himself see the injustice of the sweeping charge he bad broerbt ag tins: those.

When the Law Oficers -of the Crown had thus shown a disposition to anent, altar as possible, they had done all that in ta'rness could be required from them. As to the Game Laws, a thnonitte- of the Rouse upon the subject was sugzested. and he (Mr. Peel) gave it his en tire support, He had event ledged himself to the Hun. I..glember for.

The House would re member that is few years ago a Select Committee sat to inquire into the Clause Laws, awl efter muck deliberation produced a Report open whiels a Bill was afterwards brought in. '[his Bill was condemned by the good senile of the liouse,.and rejected by a great majority.

Mr. CUItWEN considered that nothing short of the Repeal of these odious laws would put an end to the scenes of crime which were continually passing inuieny districisof the country. He should, however, always. cent-nil for such restrictions as would secure to cautery , gentlemen the comforts and enjoyoreats of a coarsely re sidence: Mr. GIPPS begged to state that the return *bleb tl.e Noble Lord had produced. and which shoned so corset- derable an increase of convictions under the Name Laws, referred to 1,420, and not to 1828; as many might sop pose, Ile believed that the number. of convictions had since decreased.

Mr. Secretary PEEL said that the statement alone that ',SOU convictions took place in under the liana Laws, might be sufficient to cell on a Secretary . of Ste for the Horne Department to promote an inquiry.. Ilia Hon. Friend had imputed the great extent of poaching. to the existence of 'Agricultural Distress.

Mr. MUNDAY presented a petition from the inhabit:" ants of the town viDerlie, praying some alteration of the , Insolvent pebtore Act. A similar petition was presented' from the town of Maidstone. in Kent. Sir EDWARD KNAT4H,BULL, in support of the peti tion, said he entirely concurred with the petitioners in look ing.upen the present system of law, by which the contracts between creditors and Insolvent pebtors were governed, as replete with the grossest, fraud and injustice. The present was only one of a numerous dais, of petitions which had been • presented upon the subject, and be regretted that the attention of Government had not yet been awakened to the subject. Mr. STUART WORTLEY expressed a hope, that no time would be lost in introducing with the obviously defec tive Insolvent Debtors' Act, someheieficiallunendment. He considered the principle upon which it was trained objection able, from the facilities which it held out to fraudulent debtors, to get rid of their just engagements. The SOLICITOR GENERAL Assured the house, that there was no indisposition on the pare of his Majesty's law officers to introduce such amendment 'to the present system as might seem advisable. Much had 'eon said of the defects of the Insolvent Debtors' Acts ; but he had not heard one argument, used sufficiently strung, to iuduce the house to abandon the principle upon which it was found ed. It had scarcely yet received a fair trial, having been little more then two years in operation. The question wy very complicated, and he wet sure there were but few Members who would abandon the principle of imprison ment for a time, 'won the debtors. The Attorney-General was willing to make any reatonahle amendments, but he could not sacrifice the principle of the present Bill. There seemed to be some misapprehensions respecting this sub ject, The Right lion. Baronet, Member for Waterford, (Sir John Newport) bad taunted the AttoroerGeneral with a neglect of duty in not amending the present Act, but when e, l itety upon to point out a specific defect, he was unable to do s The lion. Member for Hereford also had stated as ,a defect the facilities, which the Act held out for col lusive arrests of persona coming up from the country, ,but the present Act had already made provision for such cases. It certainly was an objection that persons getting into'debt, too easily got Into prison, and so took advantage of the Act ; but the same would happen under any system of regu lations, for when persons get into debt, there was no great difficulty in procuring one of their creditors to arrest them, and so entitle themselves to 'the briret of the Act. For all three reasons, therefore, he thought the Act should have a fair trial. before too hasty a judgment was passed p i ma it. The bankrupt laws hail been in eperadou tor 200 years, and though various objections had been from doe to time urged against these, yet it was found impossible to yot e o. three any better code of laws in their stead. He hoped. th e reto's.. toat though there were defects in the present Insolvent Debtors' Act, yet the howle would not ti s it upon the Law *Accra of the Crown, a charge of neglect of their duty. Sir JOHN NEWPOFIT said, be had not applied to the Law Officers of the Crown, to make any alteration in the Insolvent Debtore' Aa t bat had, through the mediuM of a friend, suggested to the Cmneellor of the Exchequer to ti led dire :loos to have such a beneticiol alteration made, as was sailed for by the g I y expressed wished of the country. Mr. BRIGHT maintained that the present insolent Act was liable to I variety of abuses. With a most mitsplicat ed sod entrusted machinery, it was Ittadequate to, 4h itur poses. f.r in no ease were their. assets reternsitte to the cretliturs. • If the preseMemeasure could not be artunded, he thought it uoght to be gives araltagether. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER br might up a Copy .of his Illoje.ty's Letter to the Earl of Liverpool, communicating his gracious intention to bestow the Library of his Royal rather for the service of the British nation, and a Report. the subject of which we did not hear. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that he would on Tuesday move, that these papers be refer red to a.nelect Committee.—They were theo ordered to be printed. G'l3iE LAWS.
