Amendt. on Committee of Supply July 31, To leave out from "That," and add "this House has learnt with concern and regret that, notwithstanding the plain provisions of The Debtors Act, 1869,' the County Court Judge at Farnham committed to prison one William Smallbones for non-payment of a sum of costs awarded against him in a suit in equity, such imprisonment being, in the opinion of Her Majesty's Attorney General, stated to this House on the 22nd of July, wholly illegal, and extending continuously over eight months; and that, inasmuch as it appears that such imprisonment took place under an order of the judge made as upon the commission of a contempt of court, this House is of opinion that the exercise of the power of committal for contempt of court by County Court judges ought to be placed under greater legislative restraint" (Mr. Charles Lewis) v., [226] 291; after short debate, Question put, "That the words, &c.;" A. 74, N. 18; M. 56
