INSOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL.

The House resolved itself- into a Committee,
Mr. B.
m a
BROGDEN in the Chair. Several Amend-
ents nd'new.Cleinses were proposed and agreed

Tile SOLICITOR-GENERAL proposed that the
clause whiCh confined the benefit of the Act to
the prisoners who were within the walls of the

prison, should be, so alteied as to eictend to those
who lived in the Rules,

Lord ALTnottra; Mr. Alderman WooD; and
Mr. G. LAMB, (ippOS.Bd the alteration;
The Sbucrida-GeitEaAt. wished. it to be adoiit-
ed, because the intentiOn of the WI was not to
punish unfortunate debt-ors, but to do justice to
their creditors. .

Mr. CaOxott thotight the snggestkin throWn
out by his Hon. and Learned Friend was of high
inipoi tante., but he Wished sonic regulation should
be made to cot-kind persons living within the
Rules to remain in their !knits..

After a- Pew wards trout Mr. Aheßcitoiq i;
the origia al clause WkiS adopted wftlioat any a wend-
Merit.

LOrd At.i.noßp.gare notice, that ii case the
measure should pass, he should nifive for a Con►-
mittee next year to ingolie into time operation or
the present Bill.

Mr. AirettcHOMain Stiggested the propriety of
making the Assignee's pay into the Bank every
sik months/ the amount of property in their .bands
belonging to credilorS: He then moved a‘Clauie
to that effect, which was agreed to.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL brought tip a clatise
to prevent persons indebted to time crown frolii
taking the benefit of the. Act, unless they had pre--
viously obtained the consent of the Crown.
Lord A LTHORP objected to it, as lie did not see
why the Crown, should be placed on a different
footing from private creditors.

The SoLicurort-GiiNcult, stated, that it had hi-
therto been considered as one of the prerogatives
of the Crown, which no one could suppose would
be used with any degree of harshness.
Mr. SCARLETT opposed the clause as unneces-
sary, the Crown having in most cases a priority
of right to seize the property of debtors.
_ _

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended
the clause. To deprive the Crown of that power,
would be to gjve an indemnity to fratuL
After a few words from Mr. G. LAMB and Lord
PALMERSTON, the clause was agreed to. •
Mr. G. LAMB then proposed a clause to allow
all disputed cases to be decided by trial by Jury.
Mr. ALLEN objected to the clause as incompa—
tible with the general principle of the Bill, and
likely, if adopted, to crease much unnecessary in-
convenience and expence.
Lord ALTHORP did not think Trial by Jury ap-
plicable ro the present case.

The clause was then negatived without a division.
Mr. CHOKER considered it necessary to legalize
the payment of the Officers of the Court, whose
salaries had hitherto been paid by an order from
the Treasury. He s',Ould, therefore; at a future
stage propose a clause to that effect, by way of
Rider to the Bill.

.Mr. Alderman Woof) moved a Clause, the object
of which was to compel the assignees under an
order of the Court to make a statement within six
months of the effects of Debtors in their hands,
and to make with twelve months a final distribu-
tion of all unclaimed dividends.

The Clause was agreed to.

LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF-THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle.]

• Accounts were yesterday received at Lloyd's of
several valuable captures having been made by'the
Independent cruizers in the South Seas. It is
strongly suspected by persons connected with the
trade of Chili, that Lord Cochrane is gone wi►h
his squadron to the Bay of,Panama. This is an
old project of the Buenos Ayres and Chili Go-
vernments ; but it has no connection whatever
with Nl‘Gregor's movements.
