Lord Sherbroke proposes in the August number of the At eteenth Century to abolish all bankruptcy law. He says : — lf lam asked what I would put in its place, I would answer withoat hesitation — Nothing. I cannot see that we require anything more except a very considerable shortenißg of the statute of limitations. It ia quite reasonable to trust a man for his wealth, his ability, his honesty, or his industry ; but every days experience snows us that nothing is so unsafe as to trust your money to the fear of disgrace or punishment. The effect of such a law would, I beHere, be most salutary ; with nothing but the estate of the debtor to look to there would be fewer bad debts ; trade wou'd be nure profitably managed ; and the ridiculous notions as to the peculiar wickedness alternately imputed to borrowers and lenders would be for once and ever exploded. You cannot call back what ia lost, but you make it l«ss by bankruptcy. It is better that debts should be paid unequally than that the property should be destroyed in the effort to attain an equality which yields a purely metaphysical and imaginary satisfaction to the thirsty creditor."
