FOR THE SUN.

NEW INSOLVENT DEBTORS' ACT.

" Perna non sine Pulvere."

MR. rinrroß—Your Correspondent JUSTITIA
las excited my attention to the Report of the
Committee on which the new measure of Relief
is founded, and particularly to those parts of the
Evidence which relate to the Practice of the
Court.

It is remarkable and surprizing to fine! that both
the learned Commissioner and his Chief Clerk,
Who have been many years attached to the legal
profess-ion, should advocate the pretensions of
those numerous Agents who have from time to
time daringly obtruded tbetwelves, not only upon
the Insolvent Dt'btors' Court, but who have no-
totionsly infringed on the legitimate practice of
Attornies and Solicitors in All the Courts, and
who by their mal.practices, have brought unme-
rited disgrace upon the profession.
I pvrtectly agree with Jusrm A that it is a libel
upon the whole ptbfession to say that any of its
Members are disgraced by rendering their ser•

vices either to Debt►►rs or to 4ny peisons under
confinen►'nr, requiting legal aid and assistance.
It is perfectly within n►y own knowledge that the
liberality of professional men in such instances
has been unequalled by the conduct of any false
pretenders to practice, and that they.have never

been ivantiug in their professional attentions to
misfortune. The Law itself has plovided, that on
most questions of legal import, Attornies or So-
licitors shall be present when confined persons are
hi need of attention or protection ►n matters af.
tecting their circumstances or situation. And if
they have not been so active as the pretended
Agents, under the Administration of the Law re-
specting Insolvents, it is because the Agents under
authority of the Courts fiat (which costs each
Agent 1/. 95.), have industriously circulated the
false opinion or assertion that Agents alone are
authorized to practice. The Report of the Com-
mittee decidedly condemns such mischievous and
Imam hot ized innovation, and the New Bill pro-
vides that none but Attornies or Solicitors shall
practise in the Court. Looking to the import-
ance of a Law which so much affects the rights of
Creditors, and the situation of Debtors, it seems
that this provision is one' of the most important
to reconcile such Law to the approbation of the

Community.
It is attempted by the Advocates of these
Agents to strew that none- but Attornies of the
lowest description will attend unfortunate Debto-s
in confinement, and that Agents selected out of
the Profession are in general to be preferred to
Attornies or Solic.,ors. When it is considered
that some of those Agents are themselves Attar-
hies and Solicitors, it would appear that the wit-
nesses who have thus given their opinions, have
been complimenting the few who practice in the
Insolvent Court, at the expense of the general
body who do not participate in that practice.—
The fact is, that the only objection on the part of
Attornies in general, is the promiscuous and irre-
gular admission of Agents out of the Profession.
When the practice is open to the Profession only,
there will not be a deficiency in numbers of Pro-
fessional Men to assist in executing the Law in
the Insolvent Court, with a due regard to the
just rights of Creditors and the personal freedom
of Debtors. No Attorney will feel reluctance in
visiting the distressed, except from a fear of re-
sentment arising out of his own want of libera-
lity towards them.

It is said by one witness that no respectable
Attorney, or (as in another part of his testimony)
no man of respectability will visit persons in con-
finement. Does he mean to say that those Pro-
fessional Men who do visit the prisoners incur
any odium for their kindness and humane atten-
tions ; or will he state to you clearly his defini-
tion of respectability and respectable P—l have con-
sulted JOHNSON, and he affords me no informa-
tion, is silent on the subject, and neither of these
words appear in his Dictionary,—BAlLEY has the
word ItesrEcT, Esteem, Honour, Regard, RE-
SPECTABLE, to be respected ; and I should suppose
RESPECTABILITY to mean, the ability to be re-
spected ; or able'to do what may deserve respect
and esteem.—'l'o visit the afflicted, and to admi-
nister legal aid for their relief, will, in my inter-
pretation of the word, and in my opinion of such
conduct, entitle persons so doing to respect, and I
shall, therefore, always consider such persons as
respectable. I and aware that there are those who
connect the word respectable with wealth, how-
ever acquired, and who consider monied men as
men of respectability ; but I disclaim an opinion
formed solely on that basis—l respect good con-
duct without wealth, more than wealth without
good conduct. Anti in allusion to this part of the
evidence, on the face of the Report, as applicable
to legal Practitioners and Members of the Pro-
fession, I would recommend the witness :o di-
rect his own attention to the %voids respectful and
disrespectful, that he may be more guarded in fu-
ture in detracting from worth, though unconnect-
ed with wealth, and shield himself from that re-
tort which generally follows igault.
