HC Deb 22 March 1830 vol 23 c694
Mr. Hume

, in moving that there be laid before the House a List of the Fees allowed to be taken by the Provisional Assignee, the Brokers, Messengers, and other officers of the Insolvent Court, together with their aggregate amount during each year, from 1814 to 1829, observed, that it was understood when this court was appointed, that the public were to be relieved from the payment of fees of every description except to a very small amount. He was however informed, that the payment of fees fell very heavy on the suitors of that Court, and as the Act was about to expire, he thought it quite right that the House should be put into possession of all the information which could be collected on the subject. Returns ordered.
