But the bansful effects of that Act, which were as strongly felt in England, and there led to the substitution of a new Bank- ruptoy Act in 1800-nevar, introduced in Hongkong, --were not set in motion in Hougkong to the damage of Chinese commercial morality until the Partner- ship Ordinance of 1867 limited the
