TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

West-street, Finsbury-circus, June 19, 18-15.
Szit,—ln your report of the trials before the Secondary of
London yesterday, I see that your reporter has, by mistake,
stated, one of the causes tried as " Holding v. Brooks," in-
stead of " Holman v. Bruce." I trust you will correct this in
your paper of to-day. In other respects the report is sub-
stantially. correct. The Learned Secondary, however, made a
remark in reference to the heavy expenses the plaintiff had
been put to (50/. for the recovery of 9/. ), which your reporter
has not noticed.

The observation 1 allude to was, " that the defendant had
no doubt adopted the course she had for the purpose of delay."
Inasmuch as ca.': like the above, which I fear are some-
what numerous, demonstrate the mischief which the late Act
for the abolishment of arrest in actions under 201., now under
the consideration of the Legislature, and protested against by
the trading community in general, ha.s, and continues to work ;
I may, perhaps, be permitted to add a few words to your re-
port of the above case.
The Act allude.{ to took away from the creditor one remedy
which he had against his debtor, but gave him no equivalent.
It continued to allow a fraudulent and litigiously disposed
debtor under 201. all his former technical legal chances, left
him in possession of all the means he before possessed, of
delaying his creditor, and putting him to a series of heavy law
charges.
Take the ease you have reported as an example of the
working of the Act. The defendant pleads to the action
brought against her, and not only puts the plaintiff to the ex-
pense of proving every allegation in his declaration, but manu-
factured what is called a special plea, in addition, of abaut
twenty folios, framed, however, in such a skilful way, that the
plaintiff's attorney finds himself in a fix, unable to reply to it in
the common form, because he will no doubt be involved in
f ormal difficulties if he does, and have, probably, to pay the de-
fendant's colts, which he well knows the defendant's attorney
is on the lost nut for. He is, therefore, driven to demur to the
defendant's said plea. In other words, to be understood by
sour non-professional readers, he is obliged to obtain, at a
great expense, the decision of the court in which the action is
brought, that the said plea is not sufficient in law. That is to
say, even if true, it does not amount to an answer to the action.
The result is seven or eight months' delay, which in the
words of the Learned Secondary, could have been the only
object of the defendant. But the final result to the plaintiff
is, that he has, in addition to losing his debt, and suffering the
above delay, to pay the expenses of defendant's conduct, who
decamps with all her effects, and receives her pension as an
@Ricer's widow somewhere in safety, unknown to the plaintiff,
whe is left without a remedy. Is this fair play, or even.
handed nstiee ? I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
