Defaulting Debtors.

abrogated the Insolvency Laws he duty of our Legislators at provide for the distribution of The fol-

HavinG it became ¢ Ottawa to the estates of defaulting debtors.

, , , lowing is a summary of Mr. Wailace's Bill :—

‘The issue of a writ of execution for

an amount over $100 constitutes the debtor an insolvent,and the property seized is held for all the creditors. The sheriff, within five days of its issue, is to notify the debtor, and within ten days of metice, the latter ts to fyle witli the sheriff a list of all his liabil- ities, with the names and residences of the creditors. The sheriff then, within five days, notities the creditors that unless [or- bidden by any of them within one month, he will sell the property at public auction. The sheriff may call a meeting of creditors at the request of eny one or more of them, to determine the disposition of the prep erty. Une month's notice of this meeting is required, and it must be held w ithin three months of the date of notice calling it. Nosalecan be made excepting en a vote representing two-thirds of value ef all the claims. Oath is to be made that the claim voted on is correctly stated and is uninsured. Judicial sale will be a full discharge from the debt for which the property is sold. Where the owner's vyaiuation shows assets covering liabilities, creditors are to give bonds to pay the owner any sum remaining after paying 75 per cent of aliclaims. On the contrary, if, after such a valuation by the debtor, 75 per cent of all claims shown in his statement, and including Jaw costa, is not realized in three years, he is not ouly not relieved of liability but may be found guilty of misdemeanour. A debtor whose set time fur payment has been extended, may make quarterly payments of not less than 10 per cent until his liabilities are fully liquidated, the first being due three

months after the expiration of the exten-|

sion. Penal provisions are made for eva- sions and fraud on the part of both debtor and creditor. Mortgages given more than five days after the contracting of debt will be invalid as against other creditors. Sher- iffs’ fees are fixed at $5 for estates under 51,- 000, $L0 for these above that value. Costs of | management are to be a matier of agree- ment between creditors and the person put in charge of the estate. Misdemeanors are

Chamber of . Deputies, on January 16th, 1832, is well worthy of attention, now as then, here aa there.

‘‘Por yonrselves, Ministers, learn that a Government must, in order to be strong, either command admiration, inspire terror, or awaken gratitude. Itisnot given to you to perform deeds noble enovgh to accomplish the first alternative ; the second is no‘longer pos sible; try, then to effect the third; and, with that. view, PRACTISE ECONOMY, and REDUCE THE TAXES!”

The next extract is from Dr, Johnson :

** Before we confer on a man who caresses the people the title of Parrior, we must ex- amine to what part of the people he directs his notice. If the candidate of Patriotism en deavour to infuse right opinions into the higher ranks, and by their influence to regu- late the lower; if he consort chiefly with the wise, the temperate, the regular, and the vir. tuous, his love of the people may be rational and honest. Butif his tirst or principal ap- plication be to the indigent, who are always inflammable ; to the weak, who are naturally suspicious ; to the ignorant, who are easily misled ; aud to the profligate, who have no hope but from mischiet and confusion,—let bis love of the people be no longer boasted.”

Mr. Brecken on the Fishery Award,

Tae Ottawa correspondent of tle Mon- treal Gazetic comments upon Mr. Brecken’s latest speech on the Fishery Award in the feliowing ierms :-—

‘* Mr. Brecken’s short speech was marked by his extreme earnestness and force, theugh he disclaimed making any appea! for mere e‘iect, and stood manfully upen what he holds is his- Province’s right. Nevertheless, his claim for consideration was a singniarly able one, and he portrayed the positien ef Prince Edward Island in a way which could leave his fellow provincial- ists to ask no better advocacy either in lan- guage or matter. Sentiment will not coun- tervail the law, but every man who lives by the same inust feel the force of Mr. Brecken’s pointing out the impossibility of the sentiment of the Maritime Prov. inces being understood by men from the upper Jakes, who never knew the smell of a salt water fish.

‘*Hands Off.”

A few days ago Gladstone was interviewed by a correspondent of the Vienna A/ygemaine Zeitung and said, in substance, regarding the Austrian invident that he had been misrepre- sented. He understood perfectly well the difference between the old and present regimes in Austria, but he hated Metternich, and added, ‘1 hate all that recalls in the slightes¢| his system of interference in the affairs of peo- ple who are working out their own freedom. | The freed Slavic race should be permitted to | build their future without molestation. Whe ever among the Austrians knows the signifi eance of the English expression ‘* hands eff,’ knows my policy.” >

It is net the Chinese after al! who have! to go, but the hoodlums. The people of; San Francisco have been so successful in dealing with Kearney that they think they might as woll go on with the*goed work. Since Kearney was convicted of using blasphemous and threatening language, and was sentenced to pay a large fine and to imprisonment for six months, although out on bail pending the decision of the Appeal Court, he has been utterly silent. The fact appears to be that the peculiar charm of lis oratory was that which has! helped to make Ingersoll’s lecture se popn- | lar with certain classes, namely his free, | familiar way of handling things which are | generally regarded as saered. Mis ideas, | clothed in anything like decent language, | would have little effect, and he appears to| recognize tlie fact. It has, however,occurred | to the Judiciary Committee of the Board’ ef Supervisors ef the county that their | work is hardly complete while Mayor Kallech is at large, so they have determin- ed to investigate his conduct during the late troubles, with a view of determining | whether enough evidence is forthcoming te | convict hin of incendiary language, and they have | ittle doubt that uhey will be suc- cessful. Li so they intend to impeach him. It appears probable that the Sand Lot dis- turbances sre now at end.— Witiess.
