Debtor compelled to surrender property under bankruptcy bill
The proposed measure would force debtors to give up property for creditors and grant immunity from imprisonment. It would remove the distinction between bankruptcy and insolvency and leave punishment of fraudulent debtors to ordinary tribunals. The Lord Chancellor and other peers supported the bill at second reading.
