Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Insolvent Act of 1875: And Amending Acts Two sessions of the Parliament of Canada have intervened since the enactment of "The Insolvent Act of 1875." The amending Acts of these sessions and the decisions of the Courts have so altered, added to, and explained the Act of 1875, that no apology is necessary for the appearance of this work. It was undertaken prior to the passing of the Act of 1875, and the subject of insolvency has received the special attention of the author since that time. The amending Acts of 1876 and of 1877 will be found incorporated with the Act of 1875, the sections of the latter Act, in every case, are given to read as amended. It was deemed advisable to cite such of the American cases as are applicable to our Act; these have, accordingly, been brought down to the 1st of January, 1877. All the late English cases, down to and inclusive of April, 1877, have been given. In regard to the Canadian cases, the researches of the author have not extended further back than the 1st of January, 1864, but he believes that all cases on the subject of insolvency reported in Canada, from that date to the 1st of May instant, will be found in their proper places in the work. Through the kindness of N. H. Meagher, Esq., of Halifax, and others, he has also been able to give several unreported cases of considerable importance. The author regrets that no Rules of Practice have yet been framed in any of the Provinces except Quebec, and the rules of this Province were framed on the Act of 1864. The Tariffs of Fees for the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island will be found in the Appendix. In Manitoba, a tariff has not yet been framed; and at the time of going to press, the author had not heard from his correspondent in British Columbia.
