A Message from the House of Assembly, by Mr. Rae

"Mr. President,

"The House of Assembly desire a Conference with the Legislative Council, on the amendments made to the Bill intituled "An Act to amend the Laws for the relief of Insolvent Debtors," and have appointed Mr. Rae, Mr. Thornton, Mr. J. H. Conroy, and Mr. Fraser, a Committee to manage the said Conference."

Resolved, That a Conference be agreed to, as is desired by the House of Assembly. Ordered, That Mr. Young and Mr. Swabey be a Committee to manage the said Conference to meet in the Conference Room instanter.

Ordered, That a Message be sent down to the House of Assembly, acquainting them therewith.

And the names of the Managers being called over, they went to the Conference, and being returned, they reported, that they had met the Managers on behalf of the House of Assembly, who delivered to them the Bill intituled "An Act to amend the Laws for the relief of Insolvent Debtors," and also a Paper, containing as follows:

"The House of Assembly disagree to the first amendment made by the Legislative Council, to the Bill for amending the Insolvent Debtor's Act, for the following

reasons :

"Because the House of Assembly desired only to remedy an imperfection in the provisions for carrying the Act into operation, but not to change its spirit, and still less to diminish the alleviation thereby afforded to the hardship of imprisonment, when suffered by those willing to surrender to their creditors, the whole of their property. "Because the first amendment of the Legislative Council imposes on all Debtors when incarcerated for a sum exceeding Fifty Pounds, a liability to be obliged to plead for liberation, not only before the Commissioners, but also before the Chief Justice, and not only in the County wherein they may have been imprisoned, but in another County, both which circumstances would probably subject them to expence, and to be detained in Jail for a much longer period.

"Because the House of Assembly conceive, that such expence and detention could in no way conduce to the ends of justice, as the property of the Debtor, whether real or personal, whether acquired previous or subsequent to his discharge from confinement remains liable to be made available for the debts for which he may have been attached, and that the amendment purposed by the House did not diminish this liability, and that the amendment proposed by the Council does not increase this liability, or in any way facilitate the measures necessary to make it effectual.

"Because the right of Appeal is given only to the Creditor.

Lastly, Because there is no provision for recovering the expences of the Appeal."

On motion, Ordered, that this House do not insist on the said amendment. Resolved, That a further Conference be desired with the House of Assembly, on the subject matter of the said amendment.

Ördered, That the same Committee who managed the last Conference thereon be a Committee to manage this further Conference, to meet in the Conference Room instanter.
