Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - April 16, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba She a gossip f 11091 the from our special correspondent. Ottawa 3rd april 1877. Tho practical working of Tho present in solvency act has somehow How it is 1 great cannot pro tend to but it seemed to suit nobody s views. The Stringency of Tho times has no doubt u Good Deal to do with creating this feeling Abr so Many people Vivero compelled by necessity to go into insolvency and so Many of the dishonest flush took advantage of Tho depression to Settle with their creditors on easy terms that the Law somehow got the blame and fell into disrepute. It is remarkable How like our common Parent Adam we All Are in respect of our mistakes and misfortunes. Behave ourselves we Are never responsible and it generally always happens that their is a municipal Council. Or i local legislature or a parliament or some other body of Public Man or some individual upon whose Broad shoulders to throw the blame. Flover ments have a holy horror of hard times and justly so for it is not Only that in Sulci a Case they As a Rule have to face parliament with a Skele ton in their in the shape of a , but they Are made to appear Tho source of the whole trouble jul their inability to bring Back Prosperity with to dash of their official pen or by some grand and startling stroke of statesmanship is branded As the rank est incompetency. It has Ever been thus and will no doubt continue to Boun til there is very much less of old Adam in the human composition. Mil. and 1io1.ton. Dissatisfaction with the insolvency Bill being so prevalent the minister of Justice very naturally took the matter up and tried to remove at least All reasonable grounds of discontent. Tho principal Amend ment was that which proposed to make cents on Tho Dollar the minimum dividend which would be held to entitle an insolvent to his discharge. This Advance upon the per cent minimum now in existence was rather a leap but it in one important respect. At present Iii Mil join a is practically , or at leu to it i not voluntary for a Man cannot of his own free will make an assignment. M r. I Lilakos Dot s not to abandon this Privi Cipal entirely nor does he propose Back i to the old plan of permit Ting a trader to make nil assignment when he himself think lit i but lie a Joni which amounts to yen much the Amo thing and forms a cry goo 1 justification the increase of the mini mum to per cent. He thinks a Man s Are entitled to to informed of the condition of his estate before it has depreciated to less than Fil u cents on the Dollar of the amount for which it n liable and he propose to make the furnishing of such information compulsory. Junt if a debtor should give the Ilori nation to his creditors and they should refuse or neglect for any space of time to take the Steps designated by the Law to bring about an assignment to them of Iii the limitation As to tin minimum dividend will not apply to him. And he will be entitled to a discharge in matter what the provided of course that his actions have not been to be d . Or. Make was formerly to die living of a mini mum dividend it that were not conjoined with voluntary if a trader must wait for the action of his creditors to that Intel i before lie t null his estate Over for their Benefit the Hon.

When the present Premier came to the practical Woik of choosing his col , he found no Lack of the very Best material at his hands but he aug found his selection limited in some cases to very poor on account of those territorial and religious considerations which unfortunately As i think were in cell act recognised As a portion of the bargain with the maritime province at confederation and the i Rei Ifni speaking people of Quebec from the Date of the Union of i per and lower Ana la.
