Clause 37, page 23, line 38, at end insert—
("(3) The extent to which goods and chattels are protected from seizure under distresses ordered by a magistrates' court shall, as well in cases in which such courts have jurisdiction by virtue of the Employers and Workmen Act, 1875, as in other cases, be wholly determined by the rules made under section fifteen of the Justices of the Peace Act, 1949, as extended by section one hundred and twenty-two of the Magistrates' Courts Act. 1952, and the rules in force under the said section fifteen as so extended at the time of the coming into force of this section shall have effect accordingly; and accordingly in section nine of the Employers and Workmen Act, 1875, the words 'and no goods or chattels shall be taken under a distress ordered by a court of summary jurisdiction which might not be taken under an execution issued by a county court' are hereby repealed.")
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORMy Lords, these four Amendments improve the position as to the amount of chattels that may be taken in execution. Again, I do not think I need trouble your Lordships by going into these matters. Perhaps you will accept my view that they represent an improvement for the general justice in that respect. I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in these Amendments.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
