THE BANKRUPTCY LAW.
A VIGOROUS DENUNCIATION.
(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington, this day. The Wellington Chamber of Commerce is clamouring for an amendment to the Bankruptcy Act. Mr T. J. Gale, Presi dent, in the course of hi 3 address at the quarterly meeting, said the present law was absolutely useless for the protection of honest traders. It was adisgrace to thiscom mercial age and to the colony that the Go vernment allowed it to remain on the Statute cook. It was an Act under which reck less trading, extravagance dishonesty, and every species of fraud might be practised. It was reported that the Government would not amend the law this session, but he trusted that energetic action would be taken by all Chambers of Commerce to secure an alteration. If a new Act were not passed, he thought it would be better to have no bankruptcy law whatever.
