Therefore the debtor is ordered, on a fuppofnin of ability ! and fi and, to be coerced his liberty until he make payment. By this means, in all cases of civil in ! Givency without a pardon from his creditors, he is to be impnfoned for life ;_and thus a mifera. ble mistaken invention of artificial science opera te? to change a civil into a criminal judgement, and to fcotirge misfortune or indricretibn with a punmunent which the law does not inflift on the gresteft crime. “ -Hie next t .tilt is, that the infliefing of that pumfliment is rot on the opinion of an equal and public judge ; hut is referred to the arbitrary dis cretion of a private, nay, interested, irritated in dividual.

Every idea of judi -i. 1 order is subverted by this procedure. If th ‘ iuiolvency be no crime, why is it pu .ithed with arbitrary imprisonment ? If it be a crime, why is ‘* delivered into private hands to pardon without diferetion, or to punilli without mercy and with out measures i 4, —Speech previous to the eleSien at Brifioi.
