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

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.
The bias of the people valess always leads to mercy:
it is will be an event always very improbable that
any persons should be condemned.
On the other hand many debtors
+ will escape.they all escape At the same time it is not to be
doubted but that every now and then at least an example will be made, that may serve to propagate state in saluting terms

Nothing can exceed the awkwardness of this
maneuver. Use indeed reconnects use to it, as to
any thing else. Those who first adopted it
were impelled driven into it by the unenlightened
instinct of clemency,set in motion by the clamors of the dismissed without any accurate
intelligence of the inducement, to it.
One such well enoughIt is sufficiently apparent what is was that fast gave
both much a to it: the mere instinct of benevolence
unenlightened by any perspective of examination in to causes
and consequences. It came wholly from
the heart: men's judgments can never have
been exercised about the matter. Such a
confounding confusion of goals the ideas of guilt and
of misfortune
