much a moddication of the present system of admi-

honest, while it ensured the punishment of the
fraudulent haiskiupt. That some measure of this
nature was twee Priory. no Naas who had any experi-
ence in mercantile transactions would deny, and• he
was conviucedi front his own experience, that under
the present perverted forms of administering them,
the intention of the existing laws was wholly de-
feated, sad as far as the interests of the bankrupt

the best policy," was completely inverted. He

rather they were left as they stood at present; for peat as

lammed by she present Bill.
Mr. LI ITLETON, at some length, defesided the provi-
