THE BANKRUPT LAWS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR—" My Lords, it will be
in your Lordships' recollection, that When I submitted to the
consideration of your Lordships two Bills for the improvement
of the Bankrupt Laws, which have since passed into laws, I
stated thk it was my intention to assist in remedying some
existing evils, by orders, which the Great Seal can of its own
authority pronounce, and to propose another Bill, which it
was my wish should extend to the most important defects
that had presented themselves during an inquiry into this
part of the law. ' This Bill I now propose, not at this late
period for adoption, but rather for the consideration which
its importance may require ; and I trust that I shall not
be understood to pledge myself to the ultimate approbation
of all the measures, because I am satisfied that they are
worthy of Mature deliberation and inquiry. I wish care-
fully to explain myself—that I am not so pledged, that upon
some of the measures I have not formed a decided opinion, and
that I shall avail myself of the opportunities which this interval
will afford to consider, not only the substance, but the language
in which some of the proposed alterations are conveyed. With
this explanation I have thought it, better to submit the Bills to
your Lordships' consideration in their present state, that we
may consider what parts ought to be adopted, and what reject-
ed. The first species of evil which this Bill proposes to reme-
dy, relates to the act of bankruptcy; and I propose, first,. that
.
a fundamental warrant of attorney, or transfer of goods and
chattels, shall be, in the same manner as a conveyance by
deed now is, an act of bankruptcy. The evil is, to say the
least, the same, and the remedy to the general body of cre-
ditors ought not to be defeated by the form. The next act,
which, if it should ultimately appear wisp to adopt, is a most
important alteration, is to enable a trader; by declaring himself
to be insolvent, to be the instrument of having a commission
issued against himself. Of this I must say I have serious
doubts, upon which I shall anxiously reflect before the Bill is
again Opposed ; and, without pledging myself one way or the
other, I will do the best in my power to ascertain how-far I.
ought to support it. To diminish some of the evils' which I
foresee, the Bill contains a clause to prevent the bankrupt con-
trolling the assignees and certificate by creating creditors by ac-
commodation bills. The clause. proposes that such creditors
shall not vote in the choice of assignees, or assent to the certifi-
cate, although-they may dissent from it. There is another
clause for the iaayment of costs in such cases, to the execution
creditor, that he may not, by his vigilance, be in a worse sitna-
tion than the other creditors:l next propose that no existing Corn-
mission shall be defeated by proof of the requisites to support
an anterior Commission, which may never issue, unless upon
a petition to supersede presented within three months after the
Commission has issued. The next clause proposes, that to'
remedy the evil which sometimes exists of compelling Tier-
sons to attend in London, and at distant parts of the country,
the Lord Chancellor shall have power to issue Auxiliary,
Commissions, amongst other purposes, for the examination of
witnesses. The next proposes, that property in the Colonies
shall pass by the usual bargains and sale • and that, after a
certain period of time, a bankrupt shall be eitopped from object-
ing to titles of purchasers under the Commission. The next
proposes to give to Commissioners the power to compel the
attendance of assignees and of the bankrupt, and subject to a
provision, that the creditors may not be harassed by unnecessary
inquiry or axpence, to enable the Commissionersto expunge the
proof of debts. The next proposes, that no certificate shall
be signed within six months after the bankrupt has passed his
last examination, unless it is signed by four-fifths, instead of
three:fifths : and that the/certificate shall be of no avail, if
the bankrupt has fabricated any books, bills, or documents,
to defraud his creditors. On the other hand, it is proposed, as
a check upon the power now proposed by the value in Credi-
tors, in opposition to the majority, that, after a certain period,
nine-tenths in number shall have the same power as is now
possessed by three-fifths in number and value. 'There is
also a temporary clause to enable the Commissioners, first,
and then the Chancellor, to grant the certificate where it is
signed by all excepting one, of the statutable number ' • unless
such creditor can shew cause against the allowance. This is,
however, a temporary expedient. By its effects we may be
enabled to judge as to the expediency of a permanent adop-
tion of a similar measure. The next clauses relate to enabling
the Court to look at all the examinations upon a Habeas
Corpus, or in an action for false imprisonment. The other
clauses, which ought properly to originate in another 'place,
are to give additional fees in certain cases to Quorum Com-
missioners, to enable them to receive a legal, instead of tak-
ing an illegal, compensation, for their attendance ; and to
give costs to witnesses summoned before the Commission-
ers. Such is the outline of the Bill which I submit to your
Lordships. Some of the suggestions appear to me to be
of great importance, and both in substance and in form to re-
quire much further consideration. To create opportunity for
this consideration, I have. thought it tight to propose the Mea-
sures; but without pledging myself as to their adoption, or if
adopted, whether in their present or in an improved shape. I
move that the Bill be now read a first time, and that it be
printed for the convenience of Noble,leords."—This motion
was agreed to.
The General Turnpike Bill, the Barilla Duty Reduction
Bill, the. Scotch Spirits Bill. the East India Sugars Bill, the
Smuggling Prevention Bill, the Sixteen Millions of Exche-
quer Bills Bill, the Irish Militia Pay Bill, and the Stamp Du-
ties Bill, were read a third time, and passed.—The Appronria:
tion Bill, and the Irish Tythe Leasing Bill, went respectively
through Committees, and were reported.—Adjourned to
Monday.
