Mr. WRYGHTE having presented the memorial.
Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., then addressed his Lordship,
He said that he had felt it his duty, as one of the represen-
tatives of the City, to form one of the deputation to wait
upon his Lordship to explain the desires of the memorial-
ists; it did not so much effect the body to which he be-
longed as those of the great body of traders. His Lord-
ship had of course perused the Memorial, and was fully
acquainted with the expression of sentiment therein con-
tained ; the desires of the memorialists he would shortly
state were these, an extension of the powers of the Com-
missioners, and also of the practice of the Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—You mean the extension of
the practice to the country.
Mr, PARKER—To the distance of one hundred miles,
your Lordship, as stated in the Memorial.
The Lord Chancellor nodded assent.
Mr. CRAWFORD then proceeded to illustrate by facts that
had come under his own immediate observation the prefer-
ence he entertains for the new system to the old system.
He had been an assignee in Stevenson, Remington, and
Co., and had to deal with that notorious of all bankrupt-
cies, Rowland Stevenson's. The estates were partly
worked under the old system and part under the new, and
it was from circumstances and facts which then and there
occurred that made him form his conclusion. It was de-
sirable, thou4h, to have certain improvements in the new
system, and those proposed in the Memorial he thought
were compatible, and ought to be allowed, considering the
present state of the law. If the country commissions
were worked upon the same principle, and in the jurisdic-
tion of the London Courts, more could be expected than
was now obtained; the working of such commissions at
present were anything but satisfactory.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Something most be done in
that point ; it requires it.
Mr. VIZARD, the Secretary to Bankrupts, put a ques-
tion as to the distance of the circuit proposed.
A reply was given to this.—The 100 miles was in.
tended as an experiment—see how it worked, and if well,
then make the extension generally throughout the kingdom.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was understood to say—lt was
true that they asked for improvements, but they were not
specified.

Mr. CRAWFORD said the general improvements would of
necessity appear in detail when there was an inquiry into
the subject. There were some of the posts inadequately filled
—he meant in most instances inferior officers, upon whom
no check was kept. There was one post confided to a
legal gentleman, which was one of a commercial character,
and was quite foreign to his habits. To fill that post it
ought to have been a practical man of business. In a
Committee in the House of C9mmons, on which he was
engaged, the Members had thought it would be indecorous
to make a representation on the subject in their Report,
but had mentioned it to the Solicitor-General to lay be-
fore his Lordship, and they had hoped that it would have
met with his Lordship's consideration. He should be
wanting in candour to his Lordship bad he not stated this.
They had told the Solicitor- General that the office ought
to be filled by a practical man of business.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—That is the Accountant you
mean ?

Mr. CRAWFORD—It was. The qualification of the per-
son to fill that office must be that of a good accoantant,
thoroughly and deeply conversant with accounts. The
Hon. Gentleman then alluded to the same fees being
levied in the working of a small trader's estate as in the
estate of a large mercantile firm. This he hoped would
be remedied, though he could not expect it for the pre-
sent, at least till some disposal had been made of the tax
of Mr. Thurloiv, of 8,5001. per year upon the accumulating
fund. He should be happy, however, underanycircumie-
stat.ces to co-operate in the improvements wished for. I
thought, truly, that the extension of the powers of the
Court was required to reach and investigate into large sums
of money, locked up in such towns as Liverpool, Manches.
ter. Bristol, Norwich, &c.
The LORD CHANCELLOR--There is no doubt of it. And
it will require the application of the London machinery to
knock it out. But then there must come an inquisitorial
power.
VIZARDMr. said he saw that in the Memorial there
was an allusion made to four partners having held the va-
rious appointments under a country commission, in which
they were intimately interested. It was such a monstrous
case, if it had occurred, that was the name furnished, his
Lordship would, he was sure, as in duty bound, cause an
immediate investigation into it. He presumed that it was
an old case—was it not ?
