THE BANKRUPT LAw-CHANGE IN ITS PRovIs-
IONS
The Bankrupt law went into effect on the
Ist of June, 1867. An amendment vas passed by Con-
ess the effect that at the expiration OF one year after
the law went into effect debtor should receive dis
charge in bankruptcy unless his net assets would pay 80
per cent of Ills proved debts. subsequently an EXTENSION
OF time for the operation of this amendment made
that IL would not go into operation till January 1852
Since that date, up TO the present time, cOinpara-
lively few petitions have been filed in bankruptcy, a. IL
being supposed that the s0ealed $50 per cent cEuse
covered all debts without reference TO the time when
they incurred. Congress has by further ainend
ment modified the law that the 80 per cent clause
will not affect debts contracted prior 10 iss
This amendment is very important and VIII anect the
debtor class throughout the United States at least hose

taking advantage Of its provisions on account OF tne
effect Of the so per cent clause which is 80 materially
