aure
this measure was intended to provide for the limitation of liability in partnership; but what was now happening showed that the object of registration was misunderstood. There was also the fallacy that credit would be safer; but if this bill really gave security in this direction they might be sure there would be very few firms who would be against this measure, for public reasons. After thirty-five years ex. perience here, he asserted that it was credit that had made the Straits; and his belief was that if this bill became law, the losses would Mr. Waddell said: rise to move an

The main idea of the bill is that every person who trades under a name which in- dicates that he is in partnership with another person, or who trades under a name not his own, should be required to register the con- stitution of the partnership, or, if he be a single individual trading under a fancy name, his true place of business. It will thus be possible for anyone who is asked to give credit to ascer tain whether the firm is warily of credit. The bill does not propose to make any altern tion in the existing English law, except that the penalty for non-registration is loss of

THE PRYE ESTATE comprises as area of about 4,738 acres of which about 693 arres are cultivated for Sugar, about 296 acres are planted with Cocoanuts, about 227 acres are Paddy land, and about 938 acres are Fallow land.

Department, we find that the number of failures has not ben on the increase during the past is years, and the losses do not exceed $1,000,000 per annum between the two Settlements, a porr tion of which is of course recoverable. But even if the whole loss turned Tupan partnerships, I fail to see where the advantage the registration of of the measure is, as it would not in. compensate the community for the incon venience imposed by the bill on the sound traders. A few people might think registration in a general way would be a good thing, but closer examination generally, convinced them that at any rate this bill, which was subsian- fially the same as all the bills that had been hitherto prepared, would not benefit them. At any rate, those of most experience in the matter had preferred to go on as they were to bear the ills they had rather than fly to others they knew not of

He hoped there would be thorougli investigation, which would show that there were a few people only who had asked for THEBATU KAWAN ESTATE comprises registration.
