THE BANKRUPT LAw--oR STAY LAWS
The New York Post, in an article a.
gainst the repeal Of the Bankrupt Law,
contends that It's repeal will be followed
by relief laws, stay laws, &c. 1t says
We have no manner Of doubt that a
great deal Of the sudden zeal expressed
for the absolute repeal Of the bankrupt
law, is owing TO preference for the re-
lief laws and stay laws OF the several
states. The bankrupt law interferes
with the execution Of these. It's pro.
cess is thorough and summary, admit
ting Of no delay, aud directing the imme.
date sale of the effects Of the debtor, and
dividing the proceeds. Ii supersedes the
relief laws which prohibit, under certain
circumstances, all sales Of property II
supersedes also the stay laws, which post.
pone the collection of the debts. The
advantage Of judclous bankrupt law is,
that it gives the creditor an ascertaintd
and uniform method OF collection the
relief and stay laws confuse and unsettle
every thing.
Illinois has passed law, which hes be-
fore US, enacting tina, all property taken
m execution, shall be appraised BY three
persons, and if, on being offered for sale,
II fails to bring two-thirds Of the value
they afiix to 1t, no sale shall take place.
This act is to continue in force for three
years.
Ohio has enacted similar Law which
is to remain in force until the frs, of
March, ls45. If the property be not
sold for two.thirds Of its appraised value,
the officer is to return that the sale did
not take place for want OF bidding.
Indiana hns passed relief law, SINH
lar, we believe, in its tenor, though we
have II not before US.
Missouri has order by statute, that the
Circuit Courts Of the counties and the ST.
Louis Court Of Common Pleas shall hold
but two terms in each year, and that all
suits brought in those courts, shall, after
their issues are made up, be postponed to
The second term.
The project of a stay law, is before
the Virginia legislature.
The daily Kentuckan, printed ut Louis
vile, affirms that if the Bankrupt law be
repealed, the passage OF stay law, or
relief law after the example Of the neigh
boring States is inevitable.
Creditors, therefore, will see that in
asking for the absolute repeal OF the bank.
rupt law, they are only asking for set
OF laws, in many Of the States at least,
which will prove much more injurious to
their interests than the bankrupt law it.
self. That the bankrupt law, as it now
stands, is bad one, is almost generally
admitted. That it can be amended in
such manner that while i, allows the
honest debtor to 20 free on a surrender of
his effects, it shall at the same time, rem
drrlhe creditor all the justice the case ad.
mlts, is equally certain.
