Bankruptcy Court Bill
(1)
1. Cullen's plan. 2. Tyrrels opinion seen a job. Manmade
Corruptioners by Brougham: a conspiracy against the
property of the people, people should not suffer it to .
Will the people suffer themselves thus to be preyed upon by the sermon of the law?
Never was delinquent criminal more fully conscious of the maleficence
of the course he was taking taken by him, when ever this Noble and
Learned sham-reformer of the virulence of the power he
has thus been labouring so laboriously occupied in infusing into the of justice.
For principles, before him, as above being, all the while, the
writings of that man to whom whose school he had so repeatedly
and resorted for instruction: writings, which had without
any exception had at all no time been spoken of
listened to with other than those of assent
and approbation.
For measures, before him lay the plan proposals
of Charles Sinclair Cullen, a man in whose philanthropic breast who to an
unfeigned and ardent zeal for law reform
was were added the intellectual aptitude derived produced by experience
of considerable length in he business of
that very office. Five is the number of the Commissioners
stated by him as sufficient for the performance
of that same business. Five, each single-seated, constituting
so many distant judicatories all in action activity
at the same time: no other Chief Judge, no other
Judges – no mob swarm of Registrars, ten in number, praying
like wolves upon the remains of the unfortunate: no
Secretary whose sole business it is to receive what ought
not to be received, and bestow it where it ought not to
be bestowed: no high Salaried Clerks whose profuse
emolument would be more meritoriously less maleficently earned by idleness
than by diligence.
