C
Of Culpable Insolvency.
— and easy to break through. To compleat the confusion, the distinction between an
Insolvent who can be a Bankrupt , and an Insolvent
who cannot , may be broken down with certainty : but
then it can only be done by artifice and prevarication; and
at a great expence. Any man by getting two or three
friends to join with him may make himself a Trader
for the purpose: perhaps at any rate ; certainly under a
system of Laws which takes care to leave every thing undefined.
Expence of enforcing the Bankrupt Laws. As to expence, never did a Commission of Bankruptcy
cost so little as £1 80 : the greatest part made up of
expences palpably unnecessary : taxes under the name of taxes ;
taxes under the name of fees for taking steps that are
of no use . The poor are not worth the consideration of the never worth considering .
Law . I forget: they are so in a time of Jubilee; for about
two or three months at a time : once in about five or Six
Years.
