THE LAW OF HYPOTHEC.
In the HOUSE OF COMMONS, March 10, Mr. Vans Agnew
moved the second reading of the Hypothec (Scotland) Bill,
which, he said, proposed to abolish the landlord's right of
hypothec for rent in Scotland, except in regard to dwelling-
houses. It was proposed that the Bill should come into
operation at Martinmas or the 11th of November next year,
and there was a provision attached to the measure that it
should not apply to any claim for rent due' under any lease,
1, riting, or bargain current at the date of the passing of the
measure, and payable at any conventional term of payment
thereafter. The hon. gentleman went on to state his belief
that snore Scotch members were in favour of the measure
than had supported it in the last Parliament, . it
having been made to some extent a
•test quation in
many parts of Scotland at the last general election, the
result being that the members now returned for that part of
the United Kingdom were in a great measure, if not unani-
mously, pledged to support a measure for the abolition of
this law. He believed that the Bill would, by repealing-the
existing law, be most advantageous to the agricultural in-
terest.
Mr. Gregory moved that the Bill be read a second time on
that day six months. Ile urged that the law of hypothec in
Scotland differed only in details from the law of distress in
England. If, therefore, Parliament abolished hypothec, it
would be necessary, in order Is be consistent, to abolish the 4
law of distress in England. . . AO. s,

Mr. J. Barclay, in supporting the Bill, called 'attention to '
the-fact that although the measure exclusively related to.'
Scotch interests, no member from Scotland had been found
to move its rejection in past years. The Scotch members had
invariably beenallo wed- to settle themeastires which related
to —their, pwn country for themselves, and he protested
against the interference of English- members on the present
occasion, ' seeing that the Scotch members were a/mbst •
entirely•unanimous upon the subject. , ie-, 4:* ' •-4
Sir. W. Cuningharne opposed the Bill,ltelfeving that it
would injuriously affect the interests of the smaller class of
farmers. Ile admitted that the Scotch members generally
were favourable to the Bill, but he believed that the feeling,
.of the people of Sebtlfml had been altogether mistaken, and
the •noire and outcry of a few agitators had I),ee4
,taken t..
representthe real sentiments-of the nation.
. - Lord.Maccluff supported theßlll. He did hAspute that;
„there might lmve been a necessity for hypothecizi days gone
' by, but the'time had, be urged, now arrived for its abotticin.
, Mr. Dalryiriple also supperted the Bill, as did
Mr. MeCombie, who urged that the law of hypothec was
,
one of the worst of the grievances of the Scotch farmers.
The action of the. late ,Government upon this question had,
he " contended, contribute.d.in some deg'', e to their over-
throw, and he warned Iheepresent Government that they
;0
Would meet with a similar fate. they, followed the same
ursl
oe as their predecessors; • -,
-43 Sir J. Itlphinstone opposed the'l3lll as an Aberdeenshire
Nropristor. • Under the ' existing law a poor farmer was
4• upplicid with the means to carry' on his 'business by the
l edge of his stock, and such means would not be afforded
0 kim without proper security, which would be removed
6'r pealing existing legislation.
. .
Mr.,MeLagan supported the bill, believing that the time
lad come for fresh legislation upon this question. He also
'advocated the extension Of the measure to the abolition of
believed that in certain cases the law of
.eihaurylbpian b y
ort: c
he :sohec.
. Readt
tended
to tester an undue competition for land,
irsind under it there was ti temptation to accept men of straw
as tenants, but upon tho.whole he thought the law had been
beneficial. He could not vote for the second reading, of the
Bill, but he was so much of a Home Ruler that, the Scotch
members being so greatly in favour of the measure, lie should
abstain from voting on the question altogether.
After remarks from other- hon. members, the 1101160
divided :—For the second reading, 138; against, 156; ma-
jority, 18.
The Bill was therefore rejected.
The remaining business having been disposed of, the House
adjourned.
