Mr. MUNDAY presented a petition from the inhabit:"
ants of the town viDerlie, praying some alteration of the ,
Insolvent pebtore Act.
A similar petition was presented' from the town of
Maidstone. in Kent.
Sir EDWARD KNAT4H,BULL, in support of the peti-
tion, said he entirely concurred with the petitioners in look-
ing.upen the present system of law, by which the contracts
between creditors and Insolvent pebtors were governed, as
replete with the grossest, fraud and injustice. The present
was only one of a numerous dais, of petitions which had
been • presented upon the subject, and be regretted that the
attention of Government had not yet been awakened to the
subject.
Mr. STUART WORTLEY expressed a hope, that no
time would be lost in introducing with the obviously defec-
tive Insolvent Debtors' Act, someheieficiallunendment. He
considered the principle upon which it was trained objection-
able, from the facilities which it held out to fraudulent
debtors, to get rid of their just engagements.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL Assured the house, that
there was no indisposition on the pare of his Majesty's
law officers to introduce such amendment 'to the present
system as might seem advisable. Much had 'eon said of
the defects of the Insolvent Debtors' Acts ; but he had not
heard one argument, used sufficiently strung, to iuduce the
house to abandon the principle upon which it was found-
ed. It had scarcely yet received a fair trial, having been
little more then two years in operation. The question wy
very complicated, and he wet sure there were but few
Members who would abandon the principle of imprison-
ment for a time, 'won the debtors. The Attorney-General
was willing to make any reatonahle amendments, but he
could not sacrifice the principle of the present Bill. There
seemed to be some misapprehensions respecting this sub-
ject, The Right lion. Baronet, Member for Waterford,
(Sir John Newport) bad taunted the AttoroerGeneral with
a neglect of duty in not amending the present Act, but when
e,litety upon to point out a specific defect, he was unable to
do s The lion. Member for Hereford also had stated
as ,a defect the facilities, which the Act held out for col-
lusive arrests of persona coming up from the country, ,but
the present Act had already made provision for such cases.
It certainly was an objection that persons getting into'debt,
too easily got Into prison, and so took advantage of the
Act ; but the same would happen under any system of regu-
lations, for when persons get into debt, there was no great
difficulty in procuring one of their creditors to arrest them,
and so entitle themselves to 'the briret of the Act. For
all three reasons, therefore, he thought the Act should have
a fair trial. before too hasty a judgment was passed pima
it. The bankrupt laws hail been in eperadou tor 200 years,
and though various objections had been from doe to time
urged against these, yet it was found impossible to yoteo.
three any better code of laws in their stead. He hoped.
thereto's.. toat though there were defects in the present
Insolvent Debtors' Act, yet the howle would not tisit upon
the Law *Accra of the Crown, a charge of neglect of
their duty.
Sir JOHN NEWPOFIT said, be had not applied to
the Law Officers of the Crown, to make any alteration in
the Insolvent Debtore' Aa t bat had, through the mediuM
of a friend, suggested to the Cmneellor of the Exchequer
to tiled dire :loos to have such a beneticiol alteration made,
as was sailed for by the g I y expressed wished of the
country.
Mr. BRIGHT maintained that the present insolent Act
was liable to I variety of abuses. With a most mitsplicat-
ed sod entrusted machinery, it was Ittadequate to, 4h itur-
poses. f.r in no ease were their. assets reternsitte to the
cretliturs. • If the preseMemeasure could not be artunded,
he thought it uoght to be gives araltagether.
