HC Deb 11 December 1857 vol 148 cc550-1
MR. HEADLAM

said, he would beg to ask the Attorney General, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce any amendment of the Law of Bankruptcy in the present Session of Parliament?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

said, that the state of the Bankruptcy Law was certainly one which required amend- ment. It appeared to have become universally obnoxious, and every one seemed to shun the Bankruptcy Court. He could not say that any measure had been matured on the subject so far as he was aware.
