IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT ACT.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir,— l notice your article of this morning respecting the ‘Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Act. I called the attention: of the Minister of Justice to ‘ the, mischief Mentioned in your article, as well as to other evils; arising from the' Act, before the 1 session commenced, and prepared an Act to amend it in the several particulars to which I referred. , It is unfortunate for the public interest that legislation on such points is not a little more attended to,even in the midst of party squabbles. In England party politics are never suffered to interfere with this class of legislative action.— I ami, &c., • W. T. L. Travers. Wellington, October 17.
