WITHOUT ANY SURGICAL OPERATION.
MR. DUFOUR, Surgeon to the "Daranian
. Dispensary for the Cure of Strictures," and Sole Pro-
prietor of DARAN'S MEDICATED BOUGIES, having,
during a course of upwards of 45 .years of extensive practice
in cases of Stricture, observed numberless distressing instances
of Rupture, has ardently applied himself to discover a Remedy
for so prevalent a Malady, and which he has happily accom-
plished, being mild, safe, radical and effectual, occasioning
no pain or inconvenience to, or in Ay way restraining the
ordinary habits of, the patient; and also, very shortly, entirely
precluding the necessity of the use of any Truss or Bandage
whatever.
Applications to be made at No.4ii, Berner's-street, Oxford-
street, where the most satisfactory References of Cure can
be given..
Hours•fif Attendance from Ten till Four; and from Seven
till Nine in the Evening.
N.B. Mr. Dufour keeps a regular Assortment of Trusses
for Sale, which he fits on with peculiar care, as it is material
to the Patient to have a well-adapted Truss.

MR. EDlTOR,—lndisposition has prevented my
recurring earlier to the, subject of imprisonment
for Debt, and the operation of the Insolvent Act
and its ill effects on the community; but I em-
brace the earliest opportunity of a Reply to the
two last Letters which have appeared in your
respectable Journal on these subjects, signed
" An OLD BARRISTER, and Your Cor-
respondent, AN OLD BARRISTER, has expressed
his opinion that temporary experience has been
found preferable to a permanently existing law.
I an not prepared from my o•wn experience to
decide on the justness of his position, but I am
inclined to think that designing persons, who are
aware of an existing law which will relieve them
from Debts, arc less scrupulous in contracting
them than they otherwise would be if such relief
was only occasional and uncertain.
Upon the subject of administering the law as
it now stands, 1 may with snore confidence ven-
ture an opinion. The Learned Barrister has
stated, that under thejormer mode of relief there
were no Agents but Attornies, anti that there is
now an assumed system of jurisprudence'raised
with a distinct court—Counsel and Agents who
are not Attornies.
Practical men are well aware, that where Coun-
sel are employed, Attornies are the legitimate in-
struments through which the aid of Counsel is
obtained, and that Agents who lawfully represent
Attornies must also be admitted as such ; but the
Insolvent Debtors' Agents to whom your Cor-
respondent alludes, are persons wholly out of the
Profession, and, to say the least of them, are a
very improper medium through which Counsel
should he advised or receive instructions. How-
ever, the Agents carry on their depredations to a
very considerable extent on the weak and igno-
rant, and if a failure of justice results in the dis-
cussion of any case before the Insolvent Court, it
is chiefly attributable to a want of correct infor-
mation, candour, and veracity between the Debtor
and Agent, which must be the case so long as
men of such description are permitted to practice
in defiance of the just pretensions of those who
are legally qualified. These matters are known
to be FACTS, and from the abuses which have
crept into the practice of that Court, I am induced
to conclude, that the admission of Agents must
receive the encouragement of Counsel attendiug
the Insolvent C'aurt, as the only pro►ection to au-
thorize their illegal conduct, and I submit that
this is an unauthorized intrusion on the legitimate
practice of the regular Attorney, who frequently
suffers considerable disgrace by the coal-feazance
of these self-constituted Agents.
It is not presumed dim the Learned Commis-
sioner who presides in the ,Insolvent Court is
aware of the artifices resorted to by these Agents,
for securing to themselves a great part of that
practice which properly belongs to members of
the Profession—if he were, I think, he would im-
mediately check the current of their abuse.
They are knOwn to resort continually for infor-
mation at the Judges' Chambers, as to the com-
mitment of Debtors, and even to issue process for
the purpose or effecting such render. They attend
the prisons de die in diem, with an importunate
tender of their services to effect the release of
prisoners by birch bail and stipersedeas's, which
they have the effrontery to issue, though not en-
titled to do it ; or they invite the prisoner to oh-
tail) his liberation tinder tire Act, anti instruct
him to prepare a garbled schedule, containing in-
accurate and untrue statements, which he unguard-
edly assents to, without looking to the penalty of
perjury, or consenting to a restitution of that
property which belongs to his most injured
Creditors.

The consequence is, the Debtor, under this
advice, obtains his liberation, and discharges the
illicit demands of his Agent, who then loses
sight of him and all his concerns. If a Pro-
. fessional Man were so to misconduct himself,
he would be amenable in a summary way to
that Court to which he is admitted an Attorney ;
but the numerous host of Agents who infest the
Insolvent Court and the purlieus ofthegoals,render
it most obnoxious, and instil into the minds of
Debtors fraudulent ideas, which encourages con-
cealment of property, and casts an odium on the
wholesome provisions of Law, and the practice
of the Profession. Indeed, so averse are Pro.
fessional Men to intermix with these odious
swarm of locusts, that any regular Practitioter
who interferes on the part of the Debtor is identi-
fied with'the practices of the fraudulent ; and so
indecent, irregular, and confused is become the
purlieus of the Court, that it is said by several to
represent the Pre POUDHE COURT of Bartholo-
mew Fair more than any other place. If the
mischiefs resulting from the Act can obtain a
remedy from the suggestions of your Correspond-
ent (an Old Barrister), adapted by Rules and
Orders for the relief of Debtors, the public will
have less cause of complaint from those abuses
which have resulted from the operation of an Act
of Parliament evidently intended to protect Com-
merce and Credit, and to encourage the best
feelings of humanity, though its results have had
a very mischievous effect upon the former.
It has long been Ei complaint with the Com-
mercial World that the evils resulting from de-
ception and fraud under the present Act are nu-
merous and alarming, and that the facility with
which Insolvents dre enabled to take the benefit
of the Act is so great that their discharge is fre-
quently unknown to their nearest neighbours,
the property of such Debtors as possess any is
suffered to waste away, and the delay in distribut-
.
