Mr. MALINS also objected to the law for imprison-
ment for debt, and assured the committee that many were
so enamoured with their imprisonment that they declined
to be liberated, and he instanced a case in which he was
counsel, where a man who had been imprisoned 20 years
had no desire to be liberated. With'a view to giving
the Attorney-General for Ireland time to consider the
seggestion made, he moved that the chairman report
progress.

The ATTORNEY-GENERA.L for Ireland resisted

.-•.
the motion for reporting progress. He Nas not framing
a code of laws that had had no t xistencee, but manly
consolidating tho Bankruptcy and Insolvent la-ws of
Irebnci, and asking to abolish a Court that was useless,
and to some extent, a nuisance. The hill had cost him
much labour and anxiety. It was first introduced in
1855, when it was printed and circulated for the conside-
ration of hon. members, as well as those connected with

the law in Ireland soliciting improvements. The only
objections to the bill earns from the hon. and learned
member for Enniskillen, and he (the Attorney-General)
adopted such as he thought improvements. (El-an)
The learned gentleman then alluded to his

being unable to proceed with the bill in 1855,
and said that was the first stage at which the
bill had been opposed. It the house at any time wished
to abolish the distinction between bankruptcy and insol-
vency, this bill would not interfere with it, because it
only re-enacted the present lass. When he undei took
this measure it Was repre,ented to him by commercial
!mu in Ireland that the Insolvent Court was unnecessary

—that its existence embarrassed mercantile transactiorj,
and thar, the administration of the two laws might be ad-
vanta2:eously vested in one tribunal. This bill would not
interfere with the discharge of insolvents by clunty court
judges as now-existed, and it only provided br the distri-
bution of insolvent estates by the Court of Bankruptcy.
at/ should be able to show when tt.e corn eattee came
to consider the financial clause that the bill would -not
increase the expenditure one chilling, but, on the con-
trary, that when the compervati.ins fell in there would
be a permanent saving of 3,0001. per atrium. The
officers of the proposed new court wooly he taken from
the rxeting court,, or from discharged officers of those
courts. His only object was to substitute one court
for two bad oues ; to make the law cheap
and efficacious, and to invest the new court with powers
that would prove advantageous to the trading couamu-
nity.
After some remarks from Mr. Henley, Mr. White-
side,'and Mr. Malins, the motion for reporting progress
was withdra wo.

Clauses 1 to 28 were then agreed to.
Oa clause 29, relative to appea',
Mr. VANCE said that tbere were but t-r:o courts of
appeal in England, and saw no rea'on why tLere should
be three in Ireland. lie moved that the appeal to the
Lord C'iancellor, should be struck out.
After a discussion in which Mr. Matins, Mr. Ser-
jeant O'Brien, Mr. Bland, and the Attorney General
for Ireland took part, the amendment was agreed to
without a division.

Causes 30 to 33 inclusive were agreed to, aftar verbal
amendments.

Clau-tie 34 was struck out of the bill.
Clauses 35 to 45 Acre after a few alterations agreed to.
Clause 46, having reference to the appointment of
officers, was postponed.
Clauses 47 to 67 were agreed to, after amendments.
On clAtve 68. securing the payment of costs to the
offic,al assignee when plaintiff by order of the Court,
Mr. VANCE moved that it be struck out. Official
assignees in England were not so protected.
Mr. AYRTON suggested that the costs should be
directed to be paid out of the estate.
The amendment was withdrawn, and the clause agreed
to, the Attorney-General for Ireland promising to con-
sider Mr. Ayrton's on bringing up the report.
C auses 69 to to 84 were agreed to.
Ou clause 85, relative to the retiring pension of the
officers,

Mr. MALINS a-,,lted why the Chief Commissioner
was to be allowed to rotire after °ay three years' sor-
vico on full salary. '

Mr. AYRTOST protested against the passing of the
clause. He suggested that if the commissioner was not
to be employed again that the retiring sum should be
reduced to two-thirds of his present amount, but that if
he was to be paid in full he should be compelled to re-
sign his pension and take the first office that became
vacant after his resignation.

After some remarks from the Attorney-General for
Ir land, in support of the hill, who said that, where
there was a compulsory retirement, it was usual to give
the full amount of salary as a retiring pension, and that
he bra,' made provision for the deduction of the pension
on the reappointment of the ChM Commisssioner to
office,

The clause wag agreed to, the Attorney-General pro-
mising to consider the claim to full -compensation of
officers who had held office 30 years on bringing up
the report.
Clauses up to 158 were agreed to, on the undemtand-
ing that certain alterations were to be made ou bringing
up the report.

The Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave

The house adjourned at a quarter to four till six
