It is not easy, in a country so free as ours, and
where property is so amply protected, to make law
as cheap as in States where individual rights are
less zealously guarded. The dearness of the law is,
in fact, one of the disadvantages of the liberty of
our Constitution, and the same freedom which makes
it dear has also made it complex. But, although
any thing like the cheap and expeditious justice of
an absolute monarchy is unattainable in Great Bri-
tain, there is no reason why we should not use all
the means in our power to abridge our forms of pro-
cess, and to lessen the amount of our fees. There
is no part of our law which more requires investiga-
tion in those respects than the law of debtor and cre-
ditor, and though Mr. Peel's Bill, which he obtained
leave to bring in on Thursday night, does not
propose to effect much, yet, looking to it as the har-
binger of other and more comprehensive measures I 1
and well knowing from our experience of the past,'l
that the Right Hon. Secretary is as persevering a
he is cautious, we hail it with great satisfaction.—
Mr. Peel's present object is to extend the powers
of the County Courts to all debts nudes 10/.,
instead of limiting them to debts under W.—
lie intends also to introduce certain new forms
of process in respect of the Juries that are to
decide on such debts : they are to consista
joofrifityve;au
i
in-
dividuals only, and are to decide by a m
arrangement which will so much facilitate business,•
that its advantages may well serve as a set-off to the
chance of improper verdicts. On judgment thus
obtained the goods of the debtor may be seized, but
not his person. This is the principal innovation in
the proposed law. We are not among the number
of those who can whine over the evils to which a
debtor is exposed, without sparing a thought of
sympathy to the creditor, who, in ninety-nine cases
