CALENDAR RESUMED.
Bill to secure to creditors an equal
division of the assets of doctors max.
ing assignments, except that clerks
and laborers shall be preferred.
Mr. Bellamy said that our present
law was a most fertile source of fraud.
A majority of the assignments made
in this State are fraudulent Dishonest
men use this law to detraud the mer.
chant, the manufacturer and the
.armer alike. This is not right. This
bill appeals to our sense of right and
justice. Thirty, one States have laws
similar TO the bill now before the Sen.
ate.
Nh. King thought the man OBJECT
OF the bill would fail. He thought the
law could be evaded by giving mort.
cages. He also thought there ought
to % some remedy for the protecIon
of home creditors. He did not Oppose
the bill, he only wanted it perfect.
Mr.. Williams said he thought this
might be a good bill, but he had not
heard much from the people on this
subject. He thought the present law
good enough. He was afraid of the
DILL and should vote against it. He
was opposed to be always ~tampering
with the Code.
Mr.. Durham thought the present
law good enough.
Mr.. Aycock said the present law
was an outrage. Men continually
assign expressly to make money.
There is certainly no defence for the
old bill. This oil may not meet every
case, but it seems to be the best that
can be done. This is a bill for justice
NOT to favor any one. He believed
in honesty for the Northern merchant
as well as the home merchant.
Tue Senate adjourned at 2 O'Clock
and the bill ven over.
