to all debts, without reference to the amount,
viz., judgment by default unless defendant gives
six days' notice of his intention to defend. That
all county court judgments of £2 and upwards be
registed, and that the register state if the case was
defended. That the summary procedure upon bills
of exchange and promissory notes conferred upon
county courts by orders in council of the 30th Jan.,
1856, and the 27th July, 1863, ought to apply in
all cases upon bills of exchange and promissory notes
irrespective of the amounts. That the foregoing re-
solutions be embodied by the committee in a peti-
tion to both houses of Parliament, and memorials to
the Lord Chancellor and the Attorney General.
That it is desirable to establish, in connection with
these societies, committees of arbitration for the
settlement of commercial disputes. That in the opi-
nion of this meeting it is desirable that jurisdiction
of the small debts courts in Scotland should be ex-
tended to claims of £59, and that the petition on the
county courts shall embrace tbis resolution. That it
is highly desirable that the laws relating to trade and
commerce in the United Kingdom should be assi-
milated, and then consolidated into one code, that
the committee be instructed to petition Parliament
to that effect, and that the royal commission be
addressed thereon. That Mr. Wells (11u11) be elected
president aud treasurer for the year 1866-7. That
Mr. Bissington (Leeds) be the vice-president for

That the committee for the ensuing year consist of

ciation, and one representative from the London
Association, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester, and
Liverpool, of whom three shall be a quorum, and the
committee shall have power to call a special meet-
ing of the association when and where they may
think fit. That the first resolution of the meeting
held kit year as to the association being one of
societies, instead of secretaries, be confirmed, and
the association is hereby formed accordingly. That
the members of the association shall represent the
following places :—Bristol, Glasgow, Hull, Leices-
ter, Liverpool, Manchester, London, Edinburgh,
Nottingham, Macclesfield, Rochdale, Sheffield,
Torquay, an West Riding (Leeds), &c." It
was. also agreed " That the committee, having
considered the suggestion of the Attorney-
General, recommended that the bankrupt be en-
titled to his discharge upon payment of a dividend
of 6s. Bd. in the pound, or, in case such dividend
be not paid, that the discharge shall be suspended
two years, when the court may grant the same on
application, but that such discharge be obtained
upon his procuring the assent of a majority in num-
ber and value of his creditors in the same manner
as is provided in the 146th section of the 19th and
20th Vict., cap. 79 (the Scottish Bankruptcy Act.)."
The rules of the association having been revised,
and some routine business having been gone
through, a vote of thanks was passed to the chair-
man, and the meeting separated.
