THE BANKRUPT AND INSOLVENT LAWS.
Mr. BOUVERIE wished to ask a question of the
Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the
Home Departntent. Last session he had charge of a
Bill which proposed to apply a remedy to some of the
serious evils which many persons in this country were now
Buffering from some of the defects in the bankrupt and insol-
vent laws, but he withdrew the Bill on the understanding
that the Government would introduce a Bill in the course
of this session for a similar purpose. He understood
that such a Bill had been introduced into the other
House of Parliament, and he therefore wished to ask his
Right Hon. Friend what state the Bill was in, and
Whether there was a reasonable prOspect that that Bill,
or some other for a similar purpose, could be passed
into a law during the present session?
Sir G. GREY said that since last session this subject
had been under the consideration of the Lord Chancel-
lor, and recently the Noble Lord had introduced a Bill
into the House of Lords, which -was intended to be
referred to a Select Committee. He could not express
ary opinion as to the period when it might be expected
in that House.

know whether the Right Hon. Baronet could n,,t make
such arrangement with his colleagues as to altive this
Bill to come on at such an hour on some day that a
fair discussion mi.:ht be taken upon it.
