§ MR. M. HEALY (Cork)asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether his attention has been called to the complaints of Irish traders generally as to the great inconvenience arising from the practice common in the case of compounding debtors of making their composition notes payable at their own residence; and, whether there is anything to prevent a Rule of Court being made compelling debtors carrying compositions 1079 under the protection of the Court or after bankruptcy, to domicile their composition notes at a bank or other convenient place?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. HOLMES) (Dublin University)I have not heard of the complaints referred to; and as arrangements under the protection of the Court on compositions after bankruptcy can only be carried with the consent of the majority of creditors, the latter have it in their power to insist on composition notes being drawn in the form that is most convenient in the particular case. Under such circumstances, a Rule of Court on the subject would be inconvenient and out of place.
