THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

In the course of a bankruptcy case before Mr. Daniel, Q.C., the Bradford County Court Judge, on Tuesday, he remarked that as far as he had been able to judge, the new Bankruptcy Bill seemed to go a long way towards redressing many of the grievances of the present system. There were two points to which he should like attention to be drawn-namely, the provisions in the Bill which related to the amendment of the law of fraudulent preference and those with reference to jurisdiction. In the report of the Committee of the House of Commons, over which the late Sir Henry Jackson presided, attention was called to the evils which had arisen in the case of Butcher v. Stead in the House of Lords, and he observed that the 64th clause of the Bill dealt with those evils, providing that any payment voluntarily made by an insolvent, with a view to give a creditor a preference, should be void. That provision would meet that case, but the evils which had arisen from the decisions given previously to the Act of 1869 were not touched, and those evils appeared to him to have arisen from the decisions of the court, which had held that where there was pressure there was no fraudulent preference; that pressure might be a mere application for payment, and that where payment was made after pressure it was not a fraudulent preference, because to make a fraudulent preference according to the views of the judges the act done by the debtor must be a spontaneous act. In the case of Ex parte Topham, Lord Justice Mellish, in his carefully considered judgment, referred to the case of Ex parte Blackburn, which went up from that court, and said that the Act of 1869 did not alter the previous law, according to which it was quite clear that pressure was not only sufficient to prevent a payment being a fraudu. lent preference, but that the creditor, though he knew the debtor to be hopelessly insolvent, had a right to use any amount of pressure for the purpose of getting his debt. That

was a state of law which required to be carefully considered, for this reason: Where a man knew himself to be insolvent he owed a duty to the general body of his creditors-those who had no security; and when a man was insolvent any act which was in that sense voluntary he might refuse to do. Where a man was hopelessly insolvent he should say in reply to the pressure of a creditor, "No; you are asking me to do that which as an honest trader I cannot do," and he (the judge) thought that, without injustice to the creditors, the law might be in such a state as that it should not only be the duty of the debtor to refuse to give an advantage to a particular creditor, but that it should also be considered a matter of conscience binding upon the creditor himself not to ask for preference for himself when he knew that the debtor was insolvent and had no right to give it. He thought that state of the law would tend to raise the standard of commercial morality, and would lead to the result that any creditor who had the misfortune to find that his debtor was insolvent would not say to him, "Give me all you can," as was now said, but, "Being insolvent it is your duty to place your unpledged assets under the control of the law, so that they might be equally divided between me and all your other unsecured creditors." He did not think that a law of that description would be inconvenient to commerce, and it would tend very much to raise the standard of commercial morality. He should like to know whether that view would be one that would be entertained by commercial and professional men... His meaning of the word "voluntary" was that the Act was voluntary if a man was not compelled to do it, and it should be made the duty of a man who was insolvent to say "No," to an unsecured creditor; "You know I am in.. solvent ;" and it should also be made the duty of the creditor who knew of the insolvency not to ask for preference, but to place the unsecured assets so that they might be administered equally for the benefit of all the unsecured creditors.
