Warehouse,No. 107 (corner.,,if the.Savoy:steps), STRAND, Lim4on. FOR THE SUN. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. A REPLY TO RUE. MR. EDITOR—AI(bough your previous Jour nals have fully pointed out and established the legal remerlieS for prevention or punishment of Frauds by Debtorg, I may - be permitted to dis pute the conclusions, and reply to the animad versions of your Correspondent under the above signature. There are doubtless innocent prisoners for debt " as well in the Fleet and Bench Plisons, and the , Rules thereof, as also in other Prisons of the kingdom. There are also those tsho have acted fraudulently towards their Creditors, as well as those who have suffered by the frauds of others ; and there are Creditors who have prac tised frauds upon their Debtors. The laws which are in force for Relief of Debtors contemplate cases of every description of debt ; • and if the writer would examine the several provisions O f the statutes, he would discover that protection of which he affects to deplore the absence. lie is much mistaken in his estimat'e of nine millions of debt, as well as the proportion of dividends which might have been realized under the•sta totes. A great number of schedules of debts have arisen from tiegociable securities to which vatioes parties were liable ; and many of such debts have been incurred in partnership concerns. Consequently the aggregate amount which ap pears in. the bulk of schedules has been swoilen considerably beyond the amount of the debts bona fide contracted by the several and respective in solvents. As to specious appearance's, plausible • devices, and respectable pretensions, they require only the common vigilance of inquiry ; but if the Debtor has acted with gross injustice towards a Creditor in contracting a debt, or entering into an engage went, without any Oir prospect or probablemeans of payment, or has improperly disposed of effects which might have been applied in such payment, such Debttar is not entitled to he discharged under the Insolvent Acts : and as concerns the small pro portion of .dividends.compared with the amount of scheduled debts, I would refer to the provi sional Assignee, and the Receiver of Insolvent? estates under the appointment of the Court, for that information which must satisfy the public; the cause of disparity in proportion of debts and amount of dividends arises from the negligence or lukewarm indifference of the Creditors themselves. And I think the evidence of the Officers referred to may be as well relied on as the testimony of gaol keepers, to whom the writer has referred for evidence against the Debtors under their care, and who have.no opportunity of repelling. such evidence. I cannot assent to withdraw the characteristic of. Thnocence as applicable to ninny Debtors in confinement, although 1 consent to say there are others who,might be described by a very different appellation. But viewirig the penal clauses of the Insolvent Asct as Commissioners of Bankrupts do the cases over which they have jurisdiction, I will plainly pronounce to your Correspondent Rya, that it is a maxim with me to consider every Debtor an Innocent till he is preyed Guilty. Temple, 1799 and 1819. CANDIDUS. LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Chronicle.] Yestirday dispatches were received at the India House from liotnbay, dated the 10th of Decem ber, at which time every thing was tranquil. [Morning Post.] We stated on Saturday that a conference had taken place on the preceding day between the • Chancellor of the Exchequer and a deputation of the Bank Directors: This fact has given rise to the most extravagant speculations and unfounded assertionyn the part of the Or;Tsition . Papers, anti ve.oatinot too cane_ caution titePuhlie, • . .t against the practices in which certain wiVeri seem so fondly to indulge potl subjecs of this description. Nothing certainly can !),_ more tit - luSive or untrue than the statements thdt lause lately been srlt forth in this respect. We trust - tote fate of Pqrga is not ticelded ; or, if it is, that it will receive the aid and protecroo, of the Crown of Great Britain. We cannot for a • ti• moment suppose tlie 'heroic inthibitants` of this celebrated place will be isb.trolotteti to their wee.; 'enetoies 'the Turks, not only front littroatte _ m otives, bitt from mlitical consi(lerations, esped daily so long Ili •Nve -ate disposed to retain the lonian isles. But it there is a spark'of generous sentiment and feeling left in the cottony. thogt brave people should be as dear -to the Eng!ish Nation as tthe Poles, or other sufferiug States, who have been sacrificed at different - times, to satisfy the ambition of some, or to procure the indemnity of abler and more po..yertul7 nations.— The people of Parga have strong claims to ttte commiseration and protection of all the European Powers, and if it is essential to retain the in, fluence we have now throughout Greece and the neighbouring Provinces, we cannot expect t 9 preserve it,. if we abandon Parga to the Turks, — We think the .Public are indebted to Sir Charles Monck for baying called the attention. of Parlia ment to this interesting people, and we hope they will never•hstve cause to lament the confidence they I►laced in the Government of Great Britain. (Ibid) The more we consider the Bill ncw before Parliament fur imposing "-an Oath of Qualification" on the Electors in Close Boroughs, the more forcibly do we feel its importance and the necessity that it should pass into a law. We are confirmed in this opinion by the concurrent testimony of all the great Luminaries of the Law befire and since the Re volution. Among the !atter we shall content ou4Stet by referring our Readers to the sentiments expressed on this subject by that able statesman and profound Lawyer, the late Lord Thurlow r They must clearly prove to reflecting minds, that the practice of oceasinnality is adangerons inroad on the Constitution of the Country, subversive of all moral principle, and a violation of the rights of the real Electors in Boroughs. On many occasions this Noble Lord expressed his abhorrence of the practice ; and we venture, without any fear of contradiction, to state that there is nut at present a Lawyer who has a true knowledge of the Constitution who does not feel equally indignant at the illegal and -corrupt practices which this Bill is intended to prevent. The arguments hitherto used against the right of " The Great Proprietors" of Lands and Tenements in Close Boroughs, to convey them, to' their friends and dependents, for the avowed purpose of carrying an Election, are na mote founded on the fraudu- lent nature of the transaction, than they are directed against the few individuals,whme 'rights of voting are destroyed by the introduction of strangers; or on the injury which is done to the independent Candidates, whose prospects, by these illegal. means, are too frequently defeated.— But in a' higher point of view, the practice has been considered by the Courts of Law, as a breach of that freedom t►f election which the Commons of England have upon many occasions shown a becoming jealousy. to support, and with. out which representation can exist 'only in name. " The right of voting is a solemn trust reposed in the individual by the Public, to be exercised not for the private emolument of 'himself or his friend, but for the benefit of .the whole cou►- niunity. He who has accepted a bribe is not disfranchised because be has done - a fraudulent iet, to the injury of other Voters, but because he has violated his trust, by putting his conscience under the controul c,f another, and rendering him. self incapable of making a Free Choice, Or exercising an impartial judgment, on the merits'. of the *Candidates."— The same reasoning applies to the disqualification of MIT- Due Officers, Paupers, and others whom the Lacy preitune , .to be incapable of actiftg as free agents, and baring a choice of their own. .S 0 with regard to the fictitious ancy . raudulent conveying - of freeholds in Boroooghs, in order to make Voters immediceety Lefore an election, by which " the Public sustains an- injury ,and the :Constitution itself a wound." To pursue this subject farther at present is not necessary, but before the second reading of this 'Bill oa Thursday next, we shall again call the attention of our Readers to it. In the mean time, we refer them to that able Exposition of the Law of Election as relates to this subject, by Mr. Sergeant Heywood, throughout which there breathes so pure and constitutional a spirit and feelirrg, that every one must rise from its perusal with increased information and - unfeigned pleasure and delight.—(E,id.) [The Times.] During the late trial for conspiracy, the de fendant Kinnear sat behind his Counsel through out the trial, until the,Judge commenced his sum ming up, when he retired, and made his escape, and neither be nor his convicted companions hive since made their appearance.
