ON THE NEW INSOLVENT DEBTORS' ACT.

~~.

TO THE RIGHT HON. LOUD VISCOUS f, ALTHORP.
MY Loan—Permit-mi. Advocate for the Die-
tressed, and a Friend to the Injured, to oder his
hundile Congratulations to your Loteship on the
IntroduCtion of a Bill iu Parliament, which. pro•
miles Relief to the Afflicted Debtor and aetrilma
don to the Plundered Creditor.

The principle of the measure introduied by your Lordship
.is equally distinguished fur its Humanity towards the Debtor
and Provisions of Equity towards the Creditor ; and it cannot
be • doubted, that with the co-operative aid of legal talent,
sound wisdom, and judgment, the interests of the cornmun;t7
will be consulted and promoted, in perfecting a Bill which
eVident!y seeks the attainment of public good.
Viewing with much attention and anxiety the labours and
perseverance of the Committee on the late Insolvent Act, the
Public feel grateful for the zeal and activity which has beets
evinced on the inquiry. The Report of that Committee will
be the re:Mit of a due consideration to public justice and the
rights of humanity. The Bill arising out of that Reporf is
intended to accelerate the just attainment 6f Creditors' rights,
and to prevent the tyrannical or capricious imprisonment of
Debtors. It is confessedly desirable that a reuiedy 'should be
proVided against the possibility of Debtors withholding the
funds of their Creditors; .and a diniinition of the power NO
frequently abused, by confining the Debtor, is equally desir-
able, to effect the early attainment of the Debtor's meatA.
It is contidently'huped, that the !Report of the Committee
will demonstrate the necessity of an immediate and effectual
remedy for every abuse in the Debtor anti Creditor Laws, as
applicable to' imprisonment. Legislative Enactments are
alike desirable to prevent the practice of Fraud, and to con-
trol the hands of Oppression,;--The,wisdom, justice, and hu-
manity of Parliament, are competent to such ends, and the:
Provisions contemplated require only deliberation to render

them perfect.
Your Lordship is intitled to the4ratitude of the Pithlic, for
the actite zeal and disinterested persererane" W;hich you
have displayed on tins important subject ; :dud under the tier-
suasion that no considerations of emolument or pi irate in-
terest should affect the just claims of humanity ;in.! right,
the Pubic will contemplate • with. Much satisfaction the
edaptiett of a useatiire, for preKtutin4 arbitfary byprison-
ment on the part o,Creditors, or w contempt. and per-
tinacious refusal, by the Debtor. A willing, surrender, or
compulsory disclosure, a;wears to he the jit oasis on which
liberation should be gra:ited, and without such cunditiims
the ends of justice cann.it. be hilly attained. ,
Viewing your Lordships' Bill ds a measure intended to
effect those desirable objects, I take leave to express my
hearty concurrence in its provisions, and. have the honour to
subscribe myself,

My Lord,
Your Lordship's most bumble and obedient Servant,
Temple. W. R. 11--N.
