The Hon. 3temher said, thong's he did not entirely agree with the petitieners —though he would not go the length of nspea li ng the present law, still lie thought such amend medal might h' made in it as would give the necessary pro tscdou to tradesmen. Mr. A BEACBOMBY said that the principle of the Bill was so just, he was soigne." the House would adhere to it. If a case were made out to show that the Act was capable of improvement, those who opposed the measure would best show their real by giving their assistance to forward that improvement. He believed the opponents of tikeita were extremely ill informed on its provisions, and. bodAserefore fallen into many errors . He believed they mot aware that after the molvent had gone through attordeal required by the Act, whatever property he might thenrath acquire was still liable to the clams of his tor etlir creditors. He would not be surprised if even the grater number of the petitioners against this Act were ig . of this valuable provision. However, as there *be a strong desire to make some aterations in it, ' 0(fil it sogger wits mppeeema tbe-repviety of moving ftitiniluswmattee, before wiiim its defects alight be Mid and attibtiveljt eonsidered. He had no doubt the public woald Ave bo saddled, and the Act rendered more perfect. Mr. BRHIHT said that if the provision to which the Bon. Member alluded was in itself valuable, it was render erf work ain its operation. This provision was in all cases evadedaed rencle ed nugatory, as was prated by the result. By the present Act a set of profligate men were let lowe on the world, by whom oaths were entirely disregarded. The principal of humanity, which was so often urged in favour of this Act, lie thought quite inapplicable to the existing state of society. Though he thought a Committee useless, and expected no good result from it, yet he would willingly heroine a inenilier of it, and use every exertion to improve an At of such injurious operation. He thought it necessary to say, however, that he would consider any alteration as on ly } temporary. Mr. MARKi Arr agreed in the principle of the Bill, but thought it admitted of mmy *mend amendments. Mr. C. C:II.VEKT was of opinion that the effects of thit present Art was to encourage swindling. 41r. HOBlitH 7SE said tha:, after attentively looking over the papers which he had m wed for in reference to this Art, he came to the conclusion that it was iwompe tent to its purpose, He thought the establishment of a new insolvent Court absolutely necessary, because the court, as rosistitute , l now, swallowed up all the property which shout i le divided amongst the creditors in fees. lie disclaimed intention of disrespect to the Gentlemsn who admi red justice in tiro Court; but it was hi , decided opi t. n that nothing final could be done without a new rt. Right bon. Geutleman . , (Mr. Peel) that it was cruel to di- • prive the petitioner, and others in similar situations,. of their rights and privileges, without having given them an opportnnity of defending them. There were Certain du ties to he performed by the peculiars, and If their jyris. dirtimi were to he done away with ; fees should be given to the other officers who would discharge those tia tit 5. Cr. PH ILLI MORE said he admitted that there weir: harro(ing and inconvenient elansetinlß late law... The , ()bleat of the present amending Bid wad to modify them. Few in that !muse, probably, were awateihat there were ex'st ne in that conntry from two to three hundred pace- : liar jurisdictions —many of them pressed with severttt. on the people. An inquiry ought to he madeinto their, utility, end such as had no dunes to perform, or hid 11. lectethe doe performance of them, ought to be a eel The claims inserted into the late Act by the • . ' had, indiscrituinately. destroyed all those, without • . 01 2 compensation to those who, on enquirx, would lte 1 : liquify or compensation. The house ought to albeit' ~ entitled to it. and. there was a clause to that Abet it ' Amending Bill I the object of which was not to 410 ' eteeotielly the classes , in the former Ellt-butee is effify them, and also to. retain those clauses, which were' be fore aerated to by that House, bat were thrown out by the Lords. - The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that when the • ' Bill was before the house last Session , he hadendeavoured to show the inconvenience of its enactments, but his Learned Friend (Dr. Phillimore) would net consent to • wait one day to settle its discrepancies. He had ale* shown the lion. member for. Sotithwark (Mr. Calvert) and other unmarried -gentlemen the ineoneenienee cf some parts of the Bill, by which they Were likely tb be obliged to roman% single all their lives. In the city of Westminster it appeared that no license was granted since the pautsine Of the Bill, because it was out of the ju isdiction of the Bishop of London, and the pectiliz.r ju isolietion was destroyed by the Act. - He had reeetvetta letter front that body on the subject, and he meant it, piss pose in the present Bill that their rights should be rt. stored them. If -report spoke truth, it would appear that the Bill was already taken up in the other Loose. Ile (mid not see why that hone was renhing I face ter.!% the Honse of Lords. The latter was the proper place for intwelticing such a Bill, having the advantage of su.:lt • great legal authorities. He tr sled his learned friend ' Zlh. Phillimore) would take care that no inflicting dila cultiea should lake place while the two Bills would pit bably meet in passing from one house to the other. . Sir J. al di KIN . ' OSH said that he did not rise for the purview of viedi sting himself orthe other hon. members, • . who, with him, hall voted for that law, from the attarletl made on them that night. It would seem as if the mea sure emanated a consPimcy of the members of that helve, whereas the Bill was carried, as all other measures were, by 4 majority of votes. • He was prepared to show ilea: the great prim iple of the Bill was founded in jnstiee. -- By that maw tide all marriage* owe solemnised, were continued fur eve( to exm44ntent and purpose. Every one sanctioned that prideiple; the-church authorities ap proved of it. . The Oven!, however, *as not the time to discuss that point. He approved of *eau ion of the honourable amt learnAl gentleman, the ' r for4J:So:4 (.11r.

He would, therefore, recommend that the Bid might be read a second time, anti might be ordered to be printed, and in that wive distrilneeti among the membeta, and scut ham the I 1111111.ry. After a few words from Dr. Peru-moan in explana tion, Mr. BUTTERWORTH said the late Bill had operated to the hitultaat e of marriages. He knew one parish in which only nine tuarriagN took place from the Ist Sap . tember, when the late Art began to have effect, to the 1 , 1. of the present month. There were many instance, he ' was sorry to say, in which the par his took each ce beta; ' word, rather than go through the different forms nectrary to the 1 enetenty of marriage.. .. ... : ...

He certainly was not disp-sed to go to the length of tire petitioners, in repearng the Act, while he agreed with them that a line of distinction ought to be drawn between the fraudulent and the hurrassed debtor ; but thi4 could nut be done by the re.ival of the old Act, which would put the debtor completely at the mercy of his creditor. He would endeavour to reconcile the object of the.petitioners by giving the nnfortunate debtor every fair advantage, while he would visit the fraudulent debtor with a severe punishment. In cases • where fraud was clearly established, he thought the term of confinement ought to be longer than was allowed by the present Act. He agreed with his hon. friend (Mr. Abercrombv), that the best mode of amending this Act would be, to bring it under the consideration of a Committee; bat he could not concur with the hon. member fur Bris 01, that any amendment which the committee suggested should only he temporary. Mr. B htl IH T explained. The petition was then read and laid on the table. Mr. S. WUItTLEY presented two similar petitions from the inhabitants of Bradford and its neighbourhood.
