Riassunto

Excerpt from Address on Bankruptcy Legislation in Canada: Delivered Before the Canadian Manufacturers Association

Since it is upon the law of England that the systems of all our Provinces, except Quebec, are based, it may be well before attempting to outline bankruptcy legislation in Can ada to glance at its history in the mother land. The first English law on the subject was passed in the reign of Henry VIII, and was directed against debtors whether traders or not, who sought fraudulently to evade the payment of their debts, or as it was expressed in the Act who craftily ob taining into their hands great substance of other men's goods, do suddenly flee to parts unknown, or keep their houses, not minding to pay or return to pay any of their creditors their debts and duties, but at their - own wills and pleasures, con sume the substar'ice obtained by credit from other men fortheir own pleasure and delicate living, against all reason, equity, and good conscience. Irate creditors are sometimes inclined to think that notwithstanding the improvements of civilization, the genus here described is not yet quite extinct.
