LIMITED LIABILITY.—We perceive that the subject of
partnership with Limited Liability has engaged the
attention of our commercial public, and that a petition,
emanating from the merchants, bankers, solicitors, and
traders of this town, in relation to this important question,
is now lying in the Exchange News-room for signatures,
preparatory to its presentation to the House of Commons.
Notwithstanding the vote of the general body of the Asso-
ciation, the great majority of the Council of the Chamber
of Commerce is in favour of the new law. The petition is
most ably prepared ; declares it to be of the first import-
ance to the interests of commerce, that in order to enable
that class to stand on a fair basis with joint stock companies,
the advance of capital should be admitted to such traders
on terms which would pledge the amount advanced, and
not the persons and fortunes of the advancers, to the
payments of the debts of the concern, receiving such aid ;
and it further enunciates the opinion that a law to that
effect ought to pass, which should at the same time pro-
vide that no owner of capital, advancing money on the
basis of a participation in the profits of a business,
should be entitled to come into competition with other
creditors of the trader to whom such advance might have
iTen made, nor be entitled to receive repayment of the
advance until all other debts contracted during the time
of such advance shall have been discharged. The petition
has already received numerous signatures of:the highest
class,
