INSOLVENCY.

UNDER this head it was intended to introduce a consolidated abstract of the recent Acts of Parliament relative to insolvent debtors, as well on account of their extensive operation as of the Precedents on the same subject inserted in the prior part of the Work; but as two of the latest acts, viz. 3 Geo. 4. c. 123. and 5 ib. c. 61, will expire at the end of the present session of Parliament, when they may or may not be revived, and if continued may receive amendments or alterations, I have thought it better to postpone them at present, in the hope that an opportunity may be afforded of recurring to them under a subsequent head before the whole work is printed.
