if the petition. The petition must contain a proposal for
the payment of the petitioner's debts, and it must state that
one-third of the crediton have assented to the proposal
and from this it seems to have been inferred that, if one-
third of the erod;toes assent to the proposal the oommissioner
is concluded, and is seareely called upon. to madder the
merits of the cam. At least I should imagine that this has
been inferred, foe petitions have been brought to me which,
oft the very face of them, contained evidence that the peti-
tioner's ore did not entitle him to the relief of the
ant. Clause Y provides that the commission shall only
give the relief if it shall appear, amongst other things,
that there was a roasoaaUe probability at the UM
of the pedicere seatreeting the debts that he was able
tstasantheee sad jet petitions have been brought to me,
on ;he fees of Mae, that when the debts were °en-
treated there was no reasonable probability of the petitioner
being able to pay thaw Now, I consider that An act con-
fers a very great privilege on a debtor—the privilege of
avoiding mililoity, and that this great privilege ought not to

loss of some public situation, on the salary of which they
rely for payment. They therefore are against disclosure.
But to the public publicity is moat Important, for if the
debtor hasacted dishonestly, and the public is informed of
it, the public is put upon its guard. In the case which has
Induced me to make these remarks, the debtor had =income
of 3001. a year, of which he might have been deprived at any
time, and upon this income he ran into debt to the extent of
3,0001. Can I, acting judicially, say, in such case, that the
debts were eoctrected with reasonable probability, at the
time of contract, of the debtor being able to nay
them t It is inspoenble. Yet, even in such • case,
it seems to have been assumed that the petitioner
was entitled to have his case disposed of privately.
Unfortunately a very loose morality prevails as to the wan-
ton incurring of debts, and it is, in my opinion, the duty of
all in authority to contend against it to the utmost I make
this statement publicly, because I am anxious that it should
be publicly understood, that I feel it my duty, whenever
milled upon in these cases, to sanction ' privacy,' to consider
carefully whether a petitioner's debts are contracted, as the
-act minims it, ' with reasonable probability at the time of
mance of his being able to pay the same.' "

*oda months by Hr. Commissioner Holroyd, one month's
protection being granted. That time had now expired, and

that whenever he suspended a certificate he never gave pro-

Application refused.
