INSOLVENCY [BR]3.
Give a sequestration of half the profits of a place requiring
skill, attendance, & unstable: Not more, least
he should not find it sufficiently worth his while
to abstain from incurring a voluntary forfeiture to-
shake them off. or by undesigning remissness. A forced
absence from the Scene of duty in such cases his doubtless
often the affect of serving the Debtor without giving
satisfaction to the Creditor. In Bankruptcy the
Assigners might be appointed Receivers and those
whom it concerned obliged to pay after due notice—
& so totus quotius upon his taking any other place—
the Debtor-Placeman's name being registered for that
purpose upon every such first occasion.
So in case of an insolvent Debtor not a Trader &
so not a Bankrupt— Any one Creditor might—
sequester upon due notice given for others to come in.
An Insolvent Debtor or Bankrupt concealing his
effects; so also a person who undertakes to exhibit an
inventory in order to procure a mitigation of a fine
may be punished as for Theft or Embezzlement, ad
valorem: such a retention after the Oath taken being
a real embezzlement, & performed without pretense of
Title

The objection against limiting the time of imprisonment
for Debts on contract has no application to
debts imposed by a Court for delinquency as in the
case with damages given by a Jury in actions upon
Torts- For this has nothing to do with credit—
In this way a man becomes often subjected to imprisonment
for life by sentince of a Jury, whether they
know of it or no, & whether they design it or no.

The complaints that have been constant of so abundant
and against the Law on the
score of this defines
are not to be esteemed groundless,
till some answer has been given to them to
show that they are ill founded. No such
answer has been given attempted.
