Mr Abbott said it was quite certain that the importance of the subject to the commercial public cannot be over-rated. The question be- fore the House was, on the principle of the Bill, ahonld we have a bankrupt law or not ?, it eaemcd that much misapprehension prevailed, fer hon. members objected to the second reading of the present Blll, because of the detects of the Bill now in force. He referred to the state of the country before the passing of the Bankrupt Law, and in allusion to the cue mentionedrby the member for Peel, admitted that the case might be a hard one for the judgment creditor, who was trying to seize the estate; but be thought it was a very good thing for the other creditors to the estate, that the proceeds of the sale were divided amongst them. Without the Bankrupt Luv, a brother, or some other 1-91.- tive, or friend, could always come in before the real creditor, by confession ofjudgment, or oth- er procsa. The right of the debtor, ttbstrsctly speaking, was to retain his books and his pro- perty ; the right of the creditor was to get paid his debt in full. These were the rights of both parties; but it was clear that they could go; both be maintained, it` the debtor is unable to pay. Hence there must be a compromise. The debtor is, therefore. called upon to give up his whole estate, and in return for this extraordi- nary remedy for -the creditor, he is called upon to accepta composition on his claim. These pa-i eiplee seemed to him to be correct. There -J... extraordinsry remedy in both cases: the creditor received the whole estate of the debtor; and the debtor, if an honest man, was entitle to his free discharge from all further claim. These be regarded as the principles governing the framin of e. Bankrupt Act. He com batted some of I e objections urged against the work- in; of the Act, contending that they involved only matters of detail, or resulted from the care- ( leaanaal creditors in the 1 QII-In with roan-no e- -l- _-FORIIGI . knf:n B_:- `WEEKLY Rl I;OR'I' 0E)l'Z*-`?JVA_iIA'DiAN sg." _ cum-r1:s._ _ . ?pnLu'r'r k osmm, , In IR Kunn n-I1-I `EA--n - ........,, uvuu m-uu um-mg mo week from 3-2` 57. - Bank of British North America-`-B:;yer: `at 04!. aellen at mu at ucunaquoouai on Va *s2% I 8 ` , ` _ . , , _ _ _ _ `__l | nu, uondon - Hes: _ I .

He had ltenrd of tho principle of the Bill ; but what was its principle ? It Ind no principle. Was it not in principle that the creditor should receive his own, dollar for dollnr? A luch had been said about hard times And depression of trede ; but did not the opera.- tion of thin Bill ruin the honest trader, by bring- ing bankrupt stocks into competition at I dis- count of twenty-re per cent with stocks bought and honeetly pnid for. With respect to the opin- ion in Ontirio he would venture to assert. that in liil own locality there was not a single sol- . vent trader who was not opposed to the bank- rupt low. He nrgued that the_e"ects of the law had been roinooely demoralisiug and inju- rionl to the interests of the honest mitn. He hoped the Bill hefore the House would not pass, and that the existing Act would be repealed. Hr Bodtrell said the feeling of the people of Ontario wen ngninat the Bill bernnln or 4.. -n..

Un the contrary, there was ngenernl feel- ing in favour of in bankruptcy law, though some objection had been taken to the working of the prosont law. He objected to the casting of so I many duties on the shoulders of the County Court Judges, nnd would have preferred it, had the example of -England been followed, by the crution of a` Court of Bankruptcy. The bill would meet many of the principal objections urged against the existing law. He trusted that the bill would pass, with slight.

He also hoped the Minister of Justice woulj see his way clearly to the insertion of a clnuue similar to the now 11' in England, that no insolvent would obtain I discharge unless he paid sometlng. At. present men were tempted to struggle on too longtuntzl they frittered away their estate in trying to retrieve their positions.
