Sir,— -The atten'ion of the Government has been directed to the subject of the law relating to Debtors and Creditors, and in particular to the Debtors and Creditors Act 1862, in the working of which many defects have been found. The Government will be prepared, in the next session of the Assembly, to propose a measure for amending the law. With this object in view, I have to request the favor of your opinion and suggestions on the following points :—: — 1. As to the present constitution of the Insolvency Court. Whether it is expedient to constilute one fourt for the whole Colony instead of District Courts, and in that case, what provision should be made for enabling the jurisdiction of the Court to be exercised in the Provinces. 2. Whether it is desirable to separate the jurisdiction from that of the Supreme Court. 3. Whether in cases below a certain value, the courts of fttsident Magistrates should have summary jurisdiction, at all events to the extent of allowing them to discharge prisoners in custody for small debts, and upon what terms. 4. As to the proceedings of the Court, how they can be simplified and rendered less expensive. 5. As to the resting of (he Dehtors' estate, whether a vesting order should be substituted for the present ad interim sequestration and assignment. 6. Whether the present mode of appointing trustees or assignees can be improved,and in particular whether official trustees or assignees should be appointed, and what should be their powers and duties. 7. How to ensure the speedy and just administration of the Debtor's estate, &n& to diminish the cost attending it. 8. As to the custody of the estate, and particularly of money arising from the proceeds thereof. Whether provision ought not to be made for lodging all such monies in a public account in some hank, to be under the direction of the Court. 9. Whether more stringent provision should be made for the punishment of Debtors in cases of improvidence or fraud, and for preventing the relief of Insolvent Debtors from bei ig turned to abuse, and what should be the nature of such provision. 10. Whether any alteration should be made in the law as regards Composition or Trust Deeds, and whether greater facilities Bhould be given for winding up estates under private arrangements 11. Generally, what improvements in the law relating to Debtors and Creditors you would suggest. Requesting the favor of an early reply, I have the honor to be, fc'iit, Your most obedient servant, HENRY SfiWELL. The Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, Wellington.
