CASE OF M'SWINEY V. WARD.
(To the Editcyr.)
Sir, — Referring to the report of case M'Swiney v. Ward, in your last issue of 29th ulto., I beg to inform you that the defendant admitted that " the amount sought to be recovered" was not in Ms insolvency schedule. The R.M. gave judgment in favour of the defendant, and kindly read for me the section of the Act wMch required him to do so.
It appears to me the public ought be more generally aware of the law on this subject. I presume 'tis a recent enactment, as I knoiv the law was the reverse some ten years past. Tt seems strange that a party applying for relief from his debts should have cause to feel it a matter of almost indifference to him, whether he complied with the prescribed form or not. However, there is probably some deeply hidden wisdom in the altered legislation. — T am, &c , B. M'Swiney. Wetherstones, Jan. 4, 1871.
