THE ACT OF INSOLVENCY.

FOR THE SUN.

To %T x. M--N, Inner Temple, and SCRUTATOR, Wine-
Office-court.

Drink deep or taste not.

GENTLEMEN,—You have been pleased to be-
smear me and my brother agents. practising in a
Court for discharging Insolvent Debtors, with a
great deal of your slime. 'We have heard you
with patience, and as one of you seem to have
closed your burst of obloquy, no apology is neces-
sary for our taking places in THR Sur, which
exposes the smallest spot, in humble defence of
ourselves. In the beat of your attack you have
not been personal, because perhaps you do not
know its ; but us you fall foul of us ALL, we can
only say in the aggregate, that if you did, you
would be ashamed of your attempt to defame us
who never did you harm, nor any of your ac-
quaintance. This is a truth to which we are ready
to sign our real names in justification of our con-
duct, if you will do the like, when we doubt not
we shall lose nothing in the comparison.
They have a saying in Constantinople, " Yon
abuse me because you know my actions : did I
know yours I could abuse you." Now, Sirs, as
you have vilified us without knowing who or what
we are, we with all Christian tenderness pour
forth our pity upon you, wishing in our hearts
you had known better, and spared us the trouble
of this gentle address. Traversing in a circle you
come to no point. Hovering about and about it,
you make the statute of insolvency your radii,
which you draw with the pen of reprehension,
not seeing that it exceeds its circumference ; yet
running out of it in long diScourses, the whole..
amount, extracted without the help of chemistry,
is Jew-bail, Aftifogging attornies, and Newgate
solicitors. These as nuisances we despise as much
as to you do, and hope you do not class with them,
or like Satan endeavour to correct their sins, so as
to conceal your own. You on one hand condemn'
the Insolvent Act, anti oe the other turn off in
a tangent to pounce upon us. In short, Sirs, the-
subject of your complaint is as old as the law, in,
which there has and ever will be unworthy cha-
racters ; and pray, Gentlemen, what profession,
trade, or calling, has ever been without them ?
creditors charge debtors and their assistants with
art and deceit, depend upon it, they with equal
reason retort it upon them. But you, Gentle-
men, as reformers, are here called upon by us to
state your charges of our delinquency, with your
real names, to which we may plead not guilty
with ours ; and turning to the Act of Insolvency
to sketch out another more to your satisfaction,
We as individuals will thank you for the former,.
and we verily believe the Public will do so for the
latter.

I am, 'Sirs, not your Enemy but your Friend,
Fur Sell., and Co.

DEBTORS' COURT.

It has been observed by philo,ophic travellers,
that the passion tur play pet vades all ages and
countries, and exists as strong in the untutored
savage as in the refined European. This is not
surprising, when we consider rite universal desire
for power and wealth, and how easily they may
be acquired by the smile of Fortune ; for every
person who now buys a Ticket or Share, may leap
into independence NeXT IL, EsDAy, when the very
