ter, laid on the table. BY Mr. Villas, from the same
committee against the bill in amendment OF sec. 90,
ch % II. S. relative to swearing out process against
debtors about to leave the state. The question be-
ing upon he indefinite postponenent OF the bill,
| Messrs. Cram and Smith opposed it. The bill they
remarked, empowered the creditors agent or attor-
ney TO make the oath required, 'and this was ire-
! quenlv very necessary in case of the Plaintiffs
! absence. It also substituted the phrase moved
out of the State" fos the word 'abscond' which as
! employed in the present law had given more occa-
! sion to lepa and moral pergury than all other stat
utes combined. AS the meaning of 'abscond' had
! been settled by the courts debtor might proclaim
| openly that be was about to leave the Stale, and,
! however much property he might have secrcted
about his person Or elsewhere, the creditor was
remedlless. 1t must be sworn that the debtor is
bout to leave siealthilu or the statute inopera-

of the Judiciary committee, and upon the motion
| of Mr. Hodges, it was recommitted.
