WAPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. MON ae ea TERM. Matter of the eg wap of Paw Andriot for a Discharge the Act’ to Abolish Im- age saterrd forth that, bgp a ‘ghent, granted’ cae we fev. had ry me Before we on behalf of Wilson @, Hunt aud others, ‘under the edt end to punish fra:dulent debtors, and having given the bond in the fourth sub-division of the 4th of that act, he a-ks for such relief as he believes entitled to, pursuant to the provisions of the said @tatute, having complied with the provisions of the same, ‘Bdding the usual prayer for an assignment of his estate, end a Se pe to the act; and his petition is @ecompanied ‘an account of his creditors, and sn in ventory of his estate, an the same existed at the time of i it. This petition ix defective in not set- forth sufficient to give an officer jurisdiction to hear the application and grant a discharge, unless it may be ®upposed that I can take judicial notice of the formerly bad before me. It was held by the Court of Appeals, in the People ys. Bancker, (1 Selden, 107,) that whether the application is made after 4 suit has been commenced against the debtor, in which, by the provisions of the act, he cannot be arrested or impri woned, or is made in pursuance of the bond given to avoid commitment, or is made after the debtor has been com- mitted, that’ in either and all of these canes it must ap- pear that the debtor has been proceeded against for the collection of a debt or demand, arising upon contract, for which he could not be arrested or imprisoned, accord- [ F fing to the provisions of the act, and that the petition must show ‘ffirmatively the nature of the suit or judg: went. Ineffect, that it must appear that the suit or judgment was one in which the debtor could not have arrested or imprisoned under the All that ap rs in the petition here is, that Andriot was committed yy me to the city prison, in certain proceeding: Sore me, on behalf of Wilson G. Hunt and other ‘the act to abolish imprisonment for debt; and that after be was commitied Le gave the bond, under the fourth Bub-division of the fourth section, conditioned that he would apply for an assignment and discharge within Bhirty days. Whether a suit was commenced or a judg- Toent waa obtained by Hunt and others, without whicl could not have acquired jurisdiction to commit him to prison, ass fraudulent debtor, is not stated. In the Peo- ya. Bancker, the fact that a suit had been commenced Against the debtor, by the prosecuting creditor, was set forth by the petition, but it was held to be inyufficient, Decausé it did not disclose the nature of the suit. Here there is no mention even of the commencement of a suit, Or the obtaining of a judgment to authorize the arrest nd commitment; nothing but the general statement that certain proceedings were had under the act to abol- ish imprisonmen; for debt. Clearly, if this petition was before another officer than myself, he would be bound, wander the authority cited, to dismiss it; and I do not Geem it necessary to inquire how far I have the power to take notice of matters that have officially taken place be- fore me, inasmuch as I shall be compelled to dismiss this application upon other grounds. It was further held, in case cited, that the inventory to be annexed to the . Petition must contain an account of the petition with eal and personal, and of all charges affecting the same, owd as such estate existed at the time of his arrest and ‘ms they exist at the tine of preparing the petition. The fnventory here is defective in this respect. It merely sets forth his esiate and the charges existing upon it at the time of his imprisonment. The imprisonment referred to in his petition is his imprisonment in the city prison, un Gee the commitment 1 granted. This arrest was ant ‘to that period, and the inventory is, therefore, defe in not setting forth his estate and the charges upon it as it existed at the time of his arrest, and as it existed when be prepared his petition. all and the latter is left to be inferred. it bas been the practice of the Judges of this court, when roceedings of this kind have been instituted before them individually. and of other Judges in this city wpon the authority of Brodie vs. Stevens, (2 Johns. 389.) to allow the schedules to be amended, unless they were Batisfied that the omission was unintentional, from a misconcepiion of the requirements of the statute. But an amendment of the schedules here would not avail ‘the eee, there being other objections to his right to ischarged. It is objected that he did not make the present application within thirty days. Within that dime, to wit, on the 27th of July, 1852,” he made his ap: Heation for discharge to Judue Ingraham, which was nied. When the present application was made the thirty days had expired. In the people vs. Aikin, (4 ‘ill, 606,) the debtor, to avoid a commitment, offeret to Boake an assignment of his property, and delivered to the Officer an_invento id account. pursuant to sce. 10, fab. 3. His application was opposed by the creditor, and after hearing the proofs and allegations of the par dies, the officer decided that the debtor's proceedings had mot been just and fair, inasmuch as he had coneealed, re- moved, and disposed of a portion of his property, with in- tent to defraud his creditors, and he refused to grant a Gischarge. He then made another application to a dif- ferent officer, who di-missed it upon the ground that the matter had been heard and adjudicated upon, and She debtor applied to the Supreme Court for » manda- mus, which was denied, that court holding that the matter haying once been decided against him, it was ves adjudicaid. That he was estopped from trying it a second time as long as the first decision remained o , his remedy being to review that decision, if 34 was erroneous, by certiorari. The ground upon which dudge Ingraham dismissed the application before him Goes not appear. The objections that are now made by fhe creditors were made then, and it seems he dis- wissed it. generally, without specifying any particular ground. If he denied the petitioner's application upon we merits, the case of the People vs. Aikin is expremly in point, and if he denied it merely from defect of form, Tam not prepared to say that the petitioner had a right | to make another application after the thirty days had ex eee It has been customary, as I have stated, where be prosecuting creditor or creditors appear in pursuance Of the notice, to permit an amendment defeet of form; Dit if the application is distnissed, I very much doubt if | the debtor can renew it after the thirty days. It is not necessary, however, that | should put my decision this ground, the creditors having taken another o tion to the discharge, which I regard as conelusi ‘The 14th cee, of the act provides that the discharge shall pet be granted, if the opposing creditors officer that the debtor has assigned. posed of his property with intent to nd the opposing creditors have put roceedings in which I convicted the det E Avlently disposed of his property. It ix @¥.., that the fraudulent disposition ex statute is a disposition of property by the debtor during the time that elapses between his conviction and bis application for a discharge, That though convicted of baving made a fraudulent disposition of his property, he ds still entitled to the benefit of the act, unless it is shown that he bas assigned, removed, or disposed of property @'th intent to defraud after his conviction. Such a con Btrnction was put upon the act of Jud oeffer, in the ace of Bragg vs. Underhill, but with every pinion of my late associate, I cannot Go not so read the statute. It declare: officer shall not make the order for the siemnent onle the 0; ing creditors shall fail to sati<fy him that the ocerhingsron the part of the petitioner are not ir, or that he has concealed. removed, or dispr of his property with intent to defraud reddit the affidavit which the debtor is tition, be is re ime or in any manner disposed of or made © bf his property, pull satisfy the removed, or dis- ant of having nsisted, how znmnent unless bound to annex te t self or his family, or with an intent to injure or def any of his creditors. The part of the statute reli by the petitioner as warranting the construc ry it, is the general provision in section 10, declaring at @ commitment shall not be granted if the debtor shall @o any of the things prescribed. Among them, deliver to ‘eh cer an inventory his estate, and an account of bi execute an assignment or give » bond ditional that he will apply in thirty ment of his property and a di and the provision in section 12, authorizing him, bis commitment, to present a petition praying for an @ssigoment of hie property, and that he may have the benefit of the act. But these provisions must be taken in ®onnection with the sabsequent one in section 16, which fs already stated, declares that the discharge is not to granted if the debtor bas concealed, removed, or dispo: Of his property, with inteat to defraud, and such a con Biruction is to be given as will make them lurmor with each other. When the fraud impnted to the debtor bas been substantiated, he may avoid a commitment by aying the debt. or by giving security that it will be paid Whin sixty days, or if unable or unwilling to do either ‘assigning his property for the benetit of the pruse ating creditor or creditors. (Bulhelm ys. Betts, Hill, 4 gear vs, Wardell, 1 Comet. 144.) or by giving a bon will apply for such an assignment within thirty da r, after commitment. he may petition that his property say be assigned, &c. But this provision must be w bood as applying only to cases where there has wudulent concealment, removal, or tisposition of pro 4 by the debtor, as where he hae been ad 1 Pent, a bas been committed for frawiulently o eting the debt, or of unjustly refusing to ap ty to the payment of a judgment « Being about to remove his property beyond the @iction of the court, or to dispose of it with intent to Goefraud his creditors. Where, however, he has been ai judged guilty of concealing it, or of removing or disposing Of it with auch an intent, he comes directly within the prohibition of section 16, and cannot obtain the benetit Of the act. That this is the true intent of the statute, I have not the slightest doubt, and «nch was the opinion Of Chief Justice Sava, in Bownsend ve. Morrill, 10 Wend. 682. After adverting to the right of the debtor to apply for a discharge. he says, “this mode of avoiding imprisonment can only be ‘efficacious where no actual fraudulent disposition or concealment of the property has Bere made by the debtor, for the officer is not charge unless he shall be «atisted that th ings oo the part of the debtor have been ju and that he ba not concealed. removed. or bis property, with intent to defraud his ere Rather the opposing creditor must bave fa ‘these charges, Thix relief, however, may where the debtor has been convicted only of the n ion to commit a fraud, ax under the first subdivision of Qbe fourth section.

I can regard the ease in no other light than as an express determination of the point now before me. If the constructions contended for by the petitions were put upon the act, it would be in the form of a fraudulent debtor to defeat the very purpose the Legislature lad in view in enacting it, for as a coercive statute it would af- | ford no remedy to the creditor where the debtor has dis- | posed of his property fraudulently. ‘The fraudulent dispo- | sition of property ix made one of the cases in which a debt- | or may be proceeded against, and it is to be presumed that | the statute was designed to have some effect in such a case. But if this construction is to be given to it, the strange | absurdity would be presented of its being elfective and | operative in the other cases; but in this particular case, | of its furnishing no remedy at all. The object of the | Legislature in passing this act was to abolish imprison- | ment for debt in all cases, founded upon contract, but at | the same time to except from its operation a certain | class of fraudulent debtors, It was designed as a reme- | dial and humane statute, relieving from incarceration in prison the honest but unfortunate debtor who had no | longer the meuns of satisfying his creditor. By the common law, the creditor, after having first stripped the debtor of his property by a fleri facias, mighty if the | claim remained nneaatisfied, throw “him into prison, aud keep him there for life. unless he found means to dis charge the obligation. His body was held as a satisfaction of the debt, and though by the Lords’ act, passed in the | thirty-second year of the reign of George H., upon which | our insolvent laws were founded, he might be relieved trom imprisonment upon surrendering all his effects to the creditor, unless the latter consented to pay two and six- | pence a day for his maintenance, he was still subject both in this State and in England, to be taken in execu: tion and to remain in prison until he could give notice, | present his petition, and obtain his discharge, under these | remedial statutes. This system, which made no dis- | tinction between the honest and fraudulemt debtor—that subjected to the rigors of imprisonment any man who | was unable to pay a debt, though that inability may haye resulted from causes which it was not in his power to control, which no sagacity could foresee, and no pru- dence avert, was a reproach to the law, being in vio- lation of the plainest dictates of humanity and justice. It was the fruit of an age, the barbarous policy and spirit of which is but expressed by a passage that will be found in an old case in the modern reports, Many vs. Seott, 1 Mod, 132, where Justice Hyde says: ‘If’ a person be taxen in execution and lie in prison for debt, he is not to be provided with meat, drink or clothes, but he must live on his own, or on the charity of others; and if no man | will relieve him, let him die in the name of God, says the | law, and so say I.” While it was thus the intention of | the Legislature to sweep away a feature 40 disagreeable to | the intelligence of the age, it was equally their intention to subject the fraudulent debtor to the rigor of imprison. | ment; and by the passage of the act, to furnish to the | defrauded creditor additional and more summary means im. (Townsend ys. Morrill, Spear vs. Wardle, 1 Coms. 144.) The statute intended to be what its name imparts, * An act to h fraudulent debtors.’’ And in addition to the | ly given to the creditor with the view of preventing | such frauds, the fraudulent removal, concealment, or di- | position of property, or the receiving of it with intent to | prevent its being made liable for the payment of thedebts of the debtor, is declared to be a misdemeanor, and pun- | ishable criminally as such. (Son va the People, 12 Wen- | dell 344, Thomas vs. the People, Wendell 480.) ‘Now if a | debtor fraudulently dispose of the whole of his property with a view of preventing his creditor getting it, what benefit does the creditor derive by hay- | ing him arrested and procuring hix conviction, if | the debtor can avoid a commitment, or be discharged | from one by making an assignment. He has no longer | anything to assign. He is required by the statute to set | forth under cath shis estate ax it existed at the time of his | arrest, and as itexists at the time he applies for the | ignment. This he can readily do, having parted with all his property before he was arrested. Of what utility is it that the statute should provide for his being arrest- | edatallin such case. The prosecuting creditor, it is | true, gets an assignment of all his estate both in Isw and | in possession, reversion or remainder. (2B. 8. 79 §25, 2 Ed.) But of what benefit is that, if there hasbeen | & frauduleat disposition of the property. If he hasa judgment, he can levy at once upon the property if he can find it in the bands of the fraudulent assignee or yenlee; or if it consists of choses in action not subject to | levy upon execution, he may invoke at once the equitable | = Wen. 582 aid of the court to set aside the frudulent sale or as aignment; or if he has merely commenced a suit, there being no defence to the debt in such a case, he may ob- | tain feces and put himself in a position to attack | the fraudulent transfer about as soon, in the great ma- | jority of cases, as he can secure the conviction of the | debtor and compel him to an assignment. His becoming then the assignee of the debtor's estate to the extent of his claim, places him practically in no better position to reach the property which has been fraudulently disposed | of than his simple condition as a judgment creditor. At | best it could but enable him to proceed somewhat earlier: | but Iam unwilling to suppose that the sole object of the statute was to confer upon him this little advantage. It | salso true that the debtor thus guilty of « fraudulent disposition of his effects, may be indicted for a misde- meanor, and punished criminal But this is a matter | with which the creditor has nothing to do. It is not in- | tended for. nor does it afford him, any remedy for the re covery of his debt, It ix an offence against the public, the | same as any other crime, and is punished as such.

The Caloric Ship. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK AERAL). A scientific correspondent of a morning paper has centered into a very nice calculation, proving that the theoretical power of the engines of the Ericsson, when making 14 turns per minute, is just 470 horse power. Let us see if this can be so. Atmospheric air, enclosed in a tight vessel and elevated in temperature 384 degrees acquires, it is well known, a pressure of 12 pounds per square inch. This happening to be the working premute of the engines under consideration, it will ¢ quite easy to test the accuricy of the calculation of the scientific correspondent, by estimating the force of the working piston, and the resistance of the supply piston, each by itself. The latter deducted from the former will obviously exhibit the theoretical power of the engine. Now, each working piston of the Ericsson contains 22,300 square inches, operated upon by heated air of 10.96 pounds, mean pressure— the actual pressure of 12 pounds being reduced by cutting off at 3 of the stroke. The mean force of the working piston will thus be 22,300x10.96=244 408 pounds. The active space passed through by the four working pistons being 6x14x4=336 feet per minute, the active power developed will be 244,408x336= SuLIS = 2,388 horse power. The supply pistons a0 power, ply pistons, each containing 14,794 square inches, in compressing and forcing the cold air into the receivers, operate against a mean resistance of 9.34 pound per square inch. The counteracting force of these pistons will therefore be 14,704x9.34x336=S 7% = 1,409 horse power, which, deducted from 24.88, leaves 10.79 horse wer differential, or effective force, losses by friction, c., being disregarded. Make the liberal allowance of 479 horse power for such losses and 600 horse power remains—a force snfficient to effect far more than the projectors of the Ericsson expect. Some time may yet elapse, it is reasonable to kell prey before the pis- tons, valves, &c., will be rendered air tight enongh to retain the internal pressure of the machine which is 50 essential in bringing out its full power.

Loss or Wrarr Sire Bras, or NB.—The whale shi Bramin, Childs, of NB, was 124; months from home ; left Hilo last March for the Arctic, and had taken oil to the | amount of 1500 bbls up to Sept 25. About that date, | being in the Arctic Ocean, some 200 or 300 miles north of | Bhering’s Straits, a storm set in from the northward, | with thick weather, accompanied with snow, hail, and fog. While lying to under easy sail, ehe was run into by the ship Adeline, of NB, which carried away her bowsprit | and head gear, and broke her foremast just above the | | deck, but did not carry it by the board. Her best bower was ‘also carried away, her deck sprung, and tho ship started a leak. The ‘Adeline was also considerably da- d, and one of her anchors broken, though not car- After the collision, the Adeline immediately In this crippled condition, the Bramin endea- yored for two days to keep off the land, hoping for a ces- sation of the gale ; but this did not occur, and finding it impossible to keep from going ashore, she came to with her remaining anchor, as near the Adeline as she could get, hoping to ride it out by sending down her yards, spars, &¢. Immédiatély on Comtag to an anchor, all pos- sible speed was made in relieving the ship of her spars, &ec., but she only held on about an hour, when her cable parted, and all hope of preserving her was lost, ‘The boats were then lowered, and the officers and crew all embarked for the Adeline, which was still at anchor about two miles off, and which ship they safely reached | without losing aman, The Bramin soon’ drifted into the breakers, and when last seen her foremast and maintop- mast were gone. The weather was so thick that her exact fate was not known. About two hours after the crew of the Bramin had got on board the Adeline she parted both cables, and for two days it required the utmost exertion to keep her off the laud, which they finally succeeded in doing by having a favorable change of wind. After getting out of the Straits, the Adeline pursued her voyage for Honolulu, and when within about ten days’ sail of the islands, Mr. Bonden left her for the Hobomok, in which ship he arrived on the 10th inst., and in advance of the Adeline, which was still in a crippled condition. The Bramin was owned by Gideon Allen, Ex of New Bedford. The ship and cargo were worth probably about $50,000. The Adeline arrived at H. Nov. 13. The ships Tuscany and Adeline were both saved in the same gale only by the most untiring efforts of officers and crews ; and the former vessel in fact was sometime in the midst of the breakers on a rocky lee shore.
