LORD BROUGHAM.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

The following circular has been forwarded to us. We
have no doubt the publication of it will prove traeful:—
..

"Lord Brougham will, in the course of a few days,
circulate through the prisons, and generally through the
country, a short and plain statement of the provisions of
the acts for abolishing all imprisonment of debtors, ex-
cepting such as have committed frauds on their creditors,
or have been gui:ty of gross extravagance.
" But in the mean time, and to save any delay in their
liberation, he begs the keeper of • * * * gaol to
explain to the debtors in his custody that they may ob-
tain their immediate liberation by presenting a petition
to the District Bankruptcy Court, in the form hereunto
annexed, and making an affidavit in the annexed form to
the truth of the statements in the petition.

" Lord Brougham hopes that the Bankrupt Commis-
sioners will enable the debtors to swear to such affidavits
by sending round a registrar or other officer. Therefore
all persons intending to petition should prepare their
petitions and affidavits without delay. But if any delay
should occur, he strongly recommends swearing the affi-
davit before a Master Extraordinary, who will also
(being an attorney) have the goodness to witness the
signature of the petition.
" It is not, however, necessary to employ any attorney
in this matter. A debtor, if able to read and write, can
write petition, and also write his affidavit by the
forms hereunto annexed ; and any friend or other per-
son whom he chooses to employ can act as his agent for
the purpose of transmitting the petition by the post; and
such friend or other person may sign as witness to the
petition.
"If the schedule is false, or if fraud has been com-
mitted, or if grosi extravagance has been committed, the
debtor Is ill undergo imprisonment by sentence of the
Court. As one of the newspapers has thought proper to
misrepresent the Act in this respect, debtors are hereby
advised to observe the matter lust stated.
" Brougham (Penrith), Aug. 12, 1844."
