ceed from a sympathy f feeling toward our

sake of humanity or for pretended humanity,
unity,
to enact laws which will tend to arrest the
common course of justice tnd give dishonest
debtors an opportunity of evading the pay
mcnt of their just debts ? And what, is the
fact with respect to the law now under con
sideration f It' is provided, (that, whenever
any debtor or debtors shall be taken by vir
tue i of any capias ad satisfaciendum, and shall
tender to the sheriff orothcr officer who tales
him or them, a bond with security in double
the sura of the debt, conditioned for his an
pcarance at the ensuing count)' court,irm6rc
thari twenty days previous to such court J and
if within twenty days, then to the next ensu
ing county court, there to surrender a schedule
of his property; 6t if he hiVnoneftb taVe ; the
oath prescribed for insolvent debtors. Thus
giving to a debtor three months and twenty
. days in some instances to dispose of his prop
erty and to pay over the proceeds to tome
other creditor : or, if he is so disposed, to
conceal his property, so that it may not be
found. For have we not abundant proofs to
shew that some men are base enough to con
ceil property, and then go into a court of jus
tice and swear that they have none ? This is
a melancholy consideration, but it is a fact
which cannot be denied, and which it can,
thi refore, not be amiss to guard against, ilut
on the other hand, a man may dispose of all
his property and pay the proceeds to some
one else to whom he is indebted at that time,
or he may, being at liberty all this time, vest
a very considerable portion of it in such art
'." ides which the law cannot claim;1 For in the
first place, the oath prescribed for insolvent
debtors does not oblige them to swear that
thry have not defrauded that creditor at whose
ins't ince they are then taken ; it only requires
them to swear that they have not concealed
any of their property, or conveyed it away in
trust to any person whereby to defraud any of
their creditors ; or, in other words, that they
do not hold property and have debts unpaid.
And who does not know how much debtors
are exasperated, when they are sued for mon
ey, against the particular person at whose in
stance they are sued ? Nay, some men are
so obstinate, as that they would do almost any
thing to avoid paying such debts. And how
many such characters are there, against whom
11 Dccomes necessary 10 proccea in ins way,
who have a, number of other unpaid debts,
and which they would much rather pay vol
untarily, than to gratify him who,- as they
conceive, has so highly insulted them as to
sue them for money. And again, being at
liberty all this time, they can make their own
bargain, by which they will have it in their
power to sell off all they have privately, and
to vest a very considerable sum in a bed, fire
arms and working tools, which the law cannot
take. And thus, I will veuture to say, that
nine times out of ten, the law will be evaded
and the most penetrating vigilance of creditors
and officers eluded.
It is, however, provided, that when fraud
shall be suggested, an issue shall be made up
and submitted to a jury for investigation. One
of" the quaintest fictions, perhaps, that ever
found its way into any system or code of laws
that had any pretence to wisdom of design,
or efficacy in effect. How, in the name of
, common sense, will you suggest fraud, unless
you know of its existence? And how will
you come to the knowledge of its existence
when; pwhapsjjitis concealed in a spot where
human eye never penetrated, except the eye
of him who perpetrated the deed ? In short,
it is impossible to guard .against impositions
of this kind, Under the present law. And,

had calumniated the establishment of the Neapo

He then shewed that thc Allies had left the
Neapolitans no scope for hesitation as to the
course they should pursue, since while thcy.werc
covered with opprobrium on the one hand, noth
ing was offered them on the other but a diminu
tionbf tbe burthen of taxes. , When, moreover,
the occupation of the kingdom was mentioned,

mained for thc nation but the alternative of con
quering her oppressors, or perishing gloriously.
Success was not impossible ; for, though Austria
threatened her with one hundred thousand men,
not more than sixty thousand effective troops were
at hand.
These being repulsed, some months must
elapse before the Russians could arrive ; and it
would yet remain to be seen whether they march
ed to occupy Germany or Italy. Other nations,
he exclaimed for instance, the Swiss and the
Dutch had fought and conquered with forces
still more disproportioned.
