Debates. We have given them all Cie attention in
our power, and we are really unable to discover any
solid objkction to the Bill. It appears to be founded
upon the principle, and ought to have made a part
of the, Restriction Bill in ,1797 ; and we have no
doubt that if the case which has given rise to the
present Bill had occurred to the framers, of the Act-
in 1797, us one likely to happen, they would have
provided against it by a 'provi.ion similar to that
which is now 'proposed. The Legislature, in
1797, dicl..provide against, the case
.which it was
'thought Might by possibility occur, viz.. that of
a creditor 'being disposed to arrest hi. debtor,
although he had • been offered the amount of
his debt in Bank notes. The Act of 1797 aid
protect the "debtor from being arrested under
such circumstances, but it did not deprive the
creditor of 'his other and ulittier remedies. The
