INSOLVENT DEBTORS BILL.

The report on the Insolvent Debtors Compensation
Bill was brought up.
On the motion for going into Committee on the In-
solvent Debtors Bill,
Mr. HAWES said he had a petition to present from
the officers of the Insolvent Debtors Court, London,

praying for compensation. Before presenting it, however,
he wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Gra-
ham), whether that Court came under the operation of
the Bill, because, if it did not, he would withdraw the
petition.
Sir J. GRAHAM said the clause was so framed as to
include all the officers of any courts IN hose emoluments
were diminished by the operation of the Act.
Mr. HAWES said, under those circumstances, he
should withdraw the petition.
The House then went into Committee on the Bill.
Clauses 51, 52, and 53 were agreed to.
On clause 54 being proposed

Mr. M. PHILIPS said he objected to the sweeping
change made by this clause, abolishing imprisonment for
debt under 201. He opposed the clause, not as a master
manufacturer, but for the benefit of the poor themselves.
It would greatly diminish the. credit which would be
given to that class of persons. The Hon. Member con-
cluded by moving the omission of the clause.
Sir J. GRAHAM defended the clause, the words of
which had, he said, been so framed as to give every
facility to the creditor to recover his debt by proceeding
against the goods of the debtor.
Sir W. CLAY believed the clause would tend only to
diminish spurious credit, whilst safe and sound credit
would be encouraged.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, as the clause abolish-
ing imprisonment for debt was the essence of this Bill,
he thought it would be better to postpone the clause,
and take the general discussion on the third reading.
The clause was then postponed.
Several other clauses were agreed to.
Clauses 69, 70, and 71 were agreed to with a few
verbal amendments. The schedules were also agreed to.
Several new clauses were added, and the Bill was ordered
to be reported to-morrow at twelve o'clock.
Captain PECHELL wished to know whether it was
the intention of the Right Honourable Baronet at the
head of the Home Department, to renew in the next
session the County Courts Bill ?
Sir J. GRAHAM would not pledge himself to the
adoption of any course until he had seen the effect of
the working of the present measure.

On the question that the Lords' amendments
to the
County Coroners. Bill be agreed to, some short discus-
sion took place, which terminated in the House disagre"
ing with the amendment of the Lords, giving the Coroner
9dOn the
a mile, instead of ls.
motion of Mr. DARBY a Committee was sl3'
pointed to draw up reasons for disagreeing with the
Lords.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL presented 202 petitions front
different part; of Ireland against the Charitable Dolly
tions and Bequests Bill.
On the motion of Mr. HAWES, a return was ordereae
of the titles of all public Bills introduced in the cours
of the present session ; the date of their several stages'
distinguishing those introduced from the House of Lord!.
The same for theyears 1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, and 184.2
The Committee on the Lords' amendments to tit
County Coroners Bill brought up the report of theu
reasons for disagreeing to certain of those amendmeatE'
The House then adjourned till Five o'clock.
