The Lord Chancellor on 8th Feburary, 1884, introduced a Bill, which passed the third reading in the House of Lords on 21st February, to repeal this sub-section, and to make appeals from County Courts lie to a Divisional Court of the High Court, of which Court the Judge to whom bankruptcy business is assigned shall be a member.

(46 & 47 VICT., C. 52.) An Act to amend and consolidate the Law of Bankruptcy. [25th August, 1883.] BE it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows: Preliminary. 1. This Act may be cited as the Bankruptcy Act, Short title. 1883. 2. This Act shall not, except so far as is expressly Extent of Act. provided,1 extend to Scotland or Ireland. 1 See s. 6 (1) (d), s. 27 (6), s. 32 (3), s. 83, ss. 117-119. Under the Bankruptcy Act, 1869, it was held that if a foreigner, temporarily resident in England, committed an act of bankruptcy here, the Court would have jurisdiction here whether the petitioning creditor's debt were contracted in England or abroad (Ex pte Crispin, In re Crispin, L. R. 8, Ch. 374; Ex pte Pascal, In re Myer, 1 Ch. D., 509), but that the Court would not have jurisdiction where a foreigner, who was domiciled and resident abroad, carried on business as a partner in a firm in England (Ex pte Blain, In re Sawers, 12 Ch. D. 522). Now, however, it is necessary that the debtor, if not domiciled in England, should have ordinarily resided or had a dwelling-house or place of business in England within a year before the date of the presentation of the bankruptcy petition (s. 6 (1) (d)). Where a domiciled Scotchman proved his debt and received a dividend from the estate of a liquidating debtor in England it was held that by so doing he became subject to the order of the Court (Ex pte Robertson, In re Moreton, L. R. 20, Eq. 733). B |
