beg leave through your paper, to Offer to the
member of the Legislature who proposed resolution
to place all well established debts upon fooinr nj
equal dignity, the homage of my profound respects
Ii he Is practising lawyer he is entitled not ONLY to
3he respects but to the gratitude every aiher and
mother OF family IN the State. But Messrs Editors
no motion no resolution-no report of a select mr.
standing COMMITTEE having such an object will mass
INTO law, so long Legislature cont ans Ia roe
majority of practising lawyers. | will endeavor IN
Shew by stating single circumstance that snch ,
law never will be sanctioned by an Assembly of Law
yers a man dies his executor qualifias-tha court
appoints commissioners To inventory his estate-thelr
return shews the estate TO be 10000 dollars IL pro
perty fairly valued--he debts due from the estate
supposed to be 10000 dollars-say judgments e. 600
-honds wltis seals, 81 ,000-notes of hand without
seals Si5'ooo-"pen accouns $4,000. Now &C
eordlng to what have understood if an eyecp.or
paysa bond or any other claim, while there is iudr
ment unpaid, he makes himself liable for the amount
OF the Judgments-f he pays a note of hand he &c Ii
able for all bonds, and the end of the cata
iogue of debts of superior dignity View the conea
quencesevery creditor rushes into court in order IN
dignity his debt, that the executor NAV he ;ustied in
paying it of, or that he may make his money bv e2
ecutIon The result is, that every clam agains, the
estate lin other words against the widow and orphans
of the deceased) may be, & often u.s. encumbered ISL
with lawyers fees-(2d sherif's rickets-(3d) clerks

upon the whole amount of disbursements So YOU
will perceive that the surplus OF 90 600 dollars heinz
the orig nal difference in favor the estate after de-
dueting the amour, of debts is entirely swallowed up
IN the enormous expenses which the executor is com
PEELED to incur, if he is of ordinary prudence
Fhus the poor widow who has lived IN afflusnce-tha
orphans who had been raised in ideness-never to
know want-beconle at once the most destitute and
helpless of the human family. Lawyers, practising
lawyere' enact such a law! You might as soon ex
peet the deputy sherifs themselves to do it.
The above enumeration of expenses and cassifica-
ton of debts may not be exactly correct-but when
the law delay is added in, you'll fndI nearly true
as Mr. Abbott can testify, if you, Mr. Peasants be
ignorant of the fact. Yours
