Considerations
on the Insolvent Insolvency Discharge Act G.3.c.
and on the applications made for the repeal of it.

It is now about years
since the Act in question received a touch of the sceptre.

For its effect It had for its effect the reducing in the case of insolvency to a limited
period of three months, that imprisonment which saving
the chance medley operation of discharge
Gaol delivery Acts, it depended on rested with the pleasure
of any one so creditor to render perpetual

This Act has taken its name from, and does honor
to the name of Lord Redesdale. It presents
a for this long timein almost unprecedented instances of a lawyer who
from so high a status situation has condescended stooped
to afford any such endeavour as that of affording relief
to under any part of that enormous mountain of oppression
and abuse for which in which he has climbed up
to the pinnacle of power and from which the bowels of the matter
of his opulence has been extracted

The effect has not altogether come up corresponded equalled to the goodness
of the intention. But the great difficulty has been
overcome. The black spell which hung over the administration
of justice has been broken. A procedure for the substitution
of Natural to Technical procedure, of simple
justice to elaborate injustice, of rightful distribution to
legalized plunderage – has been established – a procedure in a word for
an example given set for
almost the first time
of a preference given regard shewn
for the interests of the
subject many in preference
to those that of the
law-learned parts of the
ruling few.
