THESE Reports will for the future be continued without any delay. The second Number, containing all the Cases decided between the 1st of January and the last day of Easter Term, will very shortly be published; and the Numbers will, for the future, be published as soon as possible after the conclusion of each term. In a debate on the Bankruptcy Court Bill (a), 12th October 1831 (b), the Solicitor General said, "What would the house think when he told them, that in all the reports there was not one report of a cause decided before the commissioners-no report of any argument held before them. In short, they were never considered to form a court for the purposes of law, all matters of law in bankruptcy going directly or indirectly to the other courts." (a) 1 & 2 W. 4. c. 56. VOL. I. (b) See Debates. A FROM the present constitution of the Subdivision Courts-from the great and patient attention devoted to every argument submitted to their consideration-from every case being fully heard, deeply considered, and speedily decided I am satisfied that, before much time passes away, it will be discovered that they are the most efficacious tribunals in Europe for the administration of the bankrupt laws. This is one of the advantages attendant on the division of labour. THIS Number contains a report (a) of one of the decisions of a Subdivision Court; and, when any case of importance occurs, these reports will be continued. Ir is my intention that each Number of the reports shall contain one or two queries on the improvement either of the bankrupt laws or of the courts for its administration, with the conviction, that if my inquiries may not be productive of good, they cannot be attended with evil.
