IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORI/S.—TUESDAY, JULY 19.
The LOW) CILCSCIILLon took his seat at 6 o'clock.
PETITION PRESENTED.
rvattc Hot:ans.—By the Earl of lIARROWBY, from
Mull, in f of closing public houses un the Lord's-day.
BANKRUPTCY (SCOTLAND) BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the house do
go into committee on this bill. The principle of the bill
was involved in its details, and it consisted of several
clauses, the object being to effect a number of mail amend-
ments in the Piloting bankruptcy law of Scotland.
Lord 131t0UOIIA NI thought there were many great de-
fects in the Scotch bankrupt:law. Ile had presented. one
petition complaining of them signed by 200 of the largest
Brms in London, five of whom carried on trade with Scot-
land to the amount of 1,000,000 i. per annum, and all of
whom were largely connected with Scotland. Be had no
doubt that, altogether, they carried on business with
Scotland to the silent of 5,000,0001. annually. The
onfferings of those individuals from the defects of
the Scotch bankrupt law were very great. For the whole
of ono week the bankrupt bad the entire control of his
property, and used that power in the choice of *signets ;
another evil was, that the trustees had judicial as well as
admisittrative functions, and there was ao security that
they should be lawyers, traders, or accountants But it
Was a lucrative *See, sad plenty of peorle were on the look-
out to be chosen trustees. Ile did not mean to say that the
measure was not a step in the right direction with but one
inception, namely, the remedy he appeal, which was
defied's. Then there was omitted altogether the public
Szazaimatios of the bankrupt, and he thought also that it
wee IBM desirable that the question of certificate should
he left to the decision of the court, and not to the creditors.
Whilst • genuniosion was g and inquiring into the
irapediesiey of an assimilation of the bankruptcy law of
Ragland and Scotland, he did ant think that was the
proper time for carrying through a shone in the law uldea
was sot men urgent new thaw it wee eta or seven years
ogo. He did sot think that • delay of via or seven months
amid make much difference to the people of Scotland.
This bill was sot going in the right direeti-in is some re-
grets. Petitions bad been rresented by the ateetantile
osonissuity, ia favour of his sad men missprelsen-
Sive measure, sad as that had refereed is the mar
adeolea, he did set tee why this bill should not alp be re-
ferred to it. (Hear.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR:eaid that if he far •monasat
@apposed that the pushing on of thus measure could in the
slightest degree interfere wits or damage the larger sea-
more of his noble and teethed friend for improving the
bankruptcy law of Scotland, or in any
in-
terfere with the inquiry before the commission he would
yield to the suggestion of his noble and learned friend for
postponement. But he would appall to hie noble sad
learned friend himself if he could say that this bill inter-
fered is the slightest degree with his bill. The object of
the present bill was to make better the provisions of the
ethistiog bankruptcy law of Scotland, but this would not
prevent the larger amours of his noble and learned friend
from being eoaridered st a feting tits*. (Rear.)
