AW of BANKRUPTCY and INSOLVENCY.
. At a meeting of traders and others, held at the London
Tavern, on TETESDAY, the 27th of May, 1846, to consider the pro-
priety of petitioning Parliament for an amendment of the Oct abolish-
ing Imprisonment for Debt under 201., and for other improvements in
the Law of Bankruptcy and Insolvency.
JOHN MASTERMAN, Esq., M.P., in the Chair,
The following Resolutions were unathrtously agreed to :
Moved by BENJAMIN HAWES, jnn., Esq., M.P.; seconded by
THOMAS Hairwaan, Esq., (Conway. Phelps, and Hayward :)
That this meeting is deeply sensible of the injury which has been
inflicted on trade generally by the recent alterations in the law of
debtor and creditor, especially the abolition of imprisonment on final
process for debts under 201., whereby the facility of committing
frauds has been increased, and the risk of punishment lessened,
without the substitution of any adequate power to creditors of ob-
taining possession of the property of debtors unjustly withheld.
Moved by J. P. GASSIOT, Esq. (Martinez, Gassiot, and Co.) ; se-
conded by Joni( INGRAM TRAVERS, Esq. (Jos. Travers and Sons) :
That to remedy these evils it is required that greater facilities be
afforded for the speedy and inexpensive recovery of the debtor's pro-
perty, and that he should be obliged to show to the satisfaction of the
Court to which he is amenable that he has fairly and honestly sur-
rendered the whole of his effects to his creditors, in default of which
he should be considered guilty of fraud, and be liable to punishment
at the discretion of the Court.
Moved by GROZGH MOFFATT, Esq. , seconded by W. GOLDSMITH,
