THE BANKRUPTCY COMMITTEE.—The Committee
upon the Law of Bankruptcy moved for by Mr.
Moffatt, and of which he is .the chairman, has, we believe,
concluded the hearing of evidence, and it will now be its
duty to report fully and precisely on the defects it has per-
ceived and the difficulties it has explored. We have not
seen the evidence, and therefore we can give no opinion
upon the details which the committee must discuss. But
there are some certain and admitted facts on the subject to
which we wish to call our readers' attention. First, the
present law undeniably satisfies no one, except perhaps the
bankrupt, the person upon the whole least to be considered.
The creditors, the attorney, even the officials of the Court
dislike the present law, and say it should be amended.
Secondly, what is most wanted is a simple, intelligible, and
effectual machinery by which the creditors may be able to
manage what is substantially their own affair. If they will
not do so—and in many cases they will not—no law can
give any effectual, or even any important aid. If the parties
concerned neglect their own interest, the benevolent inter-
vention of outsiders will be utterly inefficient. In money
matters, the people whose money it is must attend, and at-
tend earnestly, or the money is most likely to be lost,
wasted, and jobbed away. It is the duty of Mr Moffatt's
committee to find the best machinery for giving effect to
the opinions and the industry of intelligent and active cre-
ditors. When they have done this they will have accom-
plished their end. They will have done all they can. It is
alleged that such a system now exists in Scotland ; if so its
details should be investigated and its efficiency imitated.
Thirdly, it is well worth careful weighing whether the pre-
sent judicial establishment in bankruptcy is suitable to the
policy of the law or to the wants of the country. The Com-
missioners in many districts have little to do, little expe-
rience, few transactions, and little means of learning their
business. The decisions in different courts differ much.
It is for the committee to consider whether a central judge,
with omnipotent power, so to speak, in bankruptcy, could
not exerct'e a valuable control over those subordinate
courts, and thereby reduce them to an almost Ministerial
position. The estates of deceased insolvents and of pauper
insolvents—of insolvents, we mean, where there is no
estate, and where no creditors will attend—are subordi-
nate matters of considerable interest, and we hope the
members will attend to them; but the serious matter for
them is to see that the creditors have a ready mode of
getting at what property there is, and dividing it among
themselves. When they have effected this they will have
finished all which is principally and essentially useful,—
, Economist.
