My mission, alas been to give credit. , I =the successor to uthe late John Smirker. In whatever 'hooka of ' account my,name - stands, you will always find i it on the right side,. with a balance in myfavor. iMy father thought the best thing he could do •to settle me in life was to buy the good-will of ' the west-end business-of the late John Smirker; . with branehes In both the great University cities; established in Seventeen hundred and fifty, and largely patronised by the aristocracy. I entered upon my new sphere in a calm and dutifnl manner ; neither- desponding . nor en thusiastic. lam naturally of-a quiet and Med itative turn , --of mind; given to inquiry, and, perhaps, rather quick-in perceiving necessary reforms, though the last man In, the world to -have the robust - energy to carrythem out. Ilify predecesior, the late John-Smirker, in giving over the long list of book-debts that my father, bad purchased, dilated very warmly noon the' immense value of customers who, quartered, Heaven ktirotrs what, upon, their shields, and never tools less thin live year's credit: ' “What is business," he• inquired, icytithout hook debts ? A thing without root, without root. You - have - no - hold-upon yoiir connexion. In fact, you, have ,no,oonnettien. Without book-debts, thy come' to-day, and go to-morrow." I did not dispute this position, for I never 'argue,. He was the , born trades man, and I acted upon his precepts. - Dear me, what trouble he took to.-plant the roots that foliated and branched off into every rami fication of, book-debts ! HOW he Watered:and dibbled, and forced-- them I - How he nursed them up at Compound interest, till the right time came,for him to fell an oblivious debtor with a post-obit, or. to cut down a. slippery ono with a 'summary judgment f With what a bland smile he would refuse the early tender of a green young debtor, for fear that, once set free, be would transplant his custom to another establishMent t What decoy-ducks he let fly among rich poling unlyersity and milita ry noodles ' to get them enticed to his shop - I Yet, when be got them, and- any-of them did not pay—which, _was, •net 'often, (for" old Smirker had a keen scent, and seldom put WS' fashionable commission-agents upon a wrong one,) how he rayed at the looseness of the law Well, I rave at - it toe,' sometimes; and - with good reason. • -. o• - _ For a man need not leave,the, world for the church or a monkish Sechisiehte learn patience and to mortify tho,paasions, while the, ranks of trade are,open to 'hint. ,• Neither need a man who wishes to„seitior . ,world,lM - it'la., called, and studilibt View:melt, spend hismeney.„in tmvelling . thrOugh -Europe, uld his nights in the streets,,While the ranks of trade' are .ppen to him.

As to the amusements and vices of the metropolis, he is one of the best judges of them upon town, and acts as mentor to many other infants. His taste in wine is considered good, and his ver dict on the merits of a new-ballet-dancer is held to be final. . • , In court, Lord Merthyr presents it'very dif ferent appearance. That collar, which used to stand up,with such unbending'-parchment-like stiffness, the admiration and envy of ly, is now, in the eyes of the,law, turned down over each shoulder with infantine grace; and fastened WWI a riblion'of most becoming simplicity. -That Chesterfield, poncho; sack, outer-garment,, coat, cloak, or whatever it is called, which ad such a mature, distinguished, Tattersall,. club-like air in Regent Street' and Hyde Park, is now, in the eyes of the law, converted Into ia juvenile pinafore, fastened round the waist with - a schoolboy's belt, and conferring 'on' its wearer the much-coveted gift of perpetual youth.' That embroidered cigar case—suspicious gift—filled with the ,choicest products of Havana, at costly prices, vanishes,- in the eye of the law or becomes' transformed into a box of aweetineats, provided by the thoughtful care of a mother or a sister. That onyx-bandied bamboo-cane, which taps the neatest of boots on the lininge in Rotten Row, is now, fn the eyes of the law, a-mere rounder stick, or an implement used In guiding a hoop. Those rooms in Jermyn Street, corated with pictures in the chastest taste, and littered with boxing-gloves, broken pipes ; and cham pagne corks, are, in the eyes of the' law, the cradle of a child—a Child who poaseisaes a charmed life, invulnerable to the shafts of the hateful sheriff. Poor, young,' imicicent, ne glected, infant nobleman—type of some hun dreds of children that I find upon my books, or rather the books of the late John' Smirker, my predecessor- , -when I hear that thy aristocratic father, Earl Merthyr TAO, iitinltaly with— no matter, I will not dwell Upon - the painful subject,,urkd that the paternal acres are safely, lodged in a, dingy.. office in Lincoln's Inn Fields, I feel a sense of pity for thee spring ing up in mysnobbish, tradesnfan's heart. I have fed thee, and I have clothed thee, and I look upon thee as my own. Even if the law did not throw Its protecting shield-before thee, 1 would not touch a hair of thy patrician, infant head ; although thy ingratitude were ten times greater than it is. lam not unreasonable, and can make allowance for the feelings of a, boy whose ancestors were descended from the ear liest Normans; I do not ask for positive af fection, but only for,-a slight diminution of contempt, Spoiledschild of trade, and chosen, one of the law, let thy. commercial father know thy wants and wishes, and he is content. But Shadrach, junior, when you stand up in court; pleading infancy with all the childish grace- of afi Israelite that knows no" guile'," I am amused at So clever, an adaptation of Chris tian customs, but I ant astonished at the learned credulity of the Bench. It is true that your people have no registry of baptism, and every thing,- therefore, depends upon your own as sertion ; but I have known yon so many years about town, I have watched your fully devel oped frame standing out prominently in, most places of public resort ; I have witnessed your intellectual keefineas in places where keenneffs was 1799. re quality, that, in my eyes, your back is beginning to bend, add your hair becoming silvered'with gray, and' I marvel much that a paternal law, gathers _you as a trusting, trusted. innocent in the folds of its sheltering arms. There are many octogenarian debtors upon my booki, or rather the books — of the late Jelin Smirker, my beloved Shadrach, who are more In need of legal protection than your youthful self. The,next rasa whiektlie law has planted in the path of debt—the next thorn which it -has planted in the path 'of credit—is the Statute of Limitations. ,A, man or untutored reasoning powers, whose faculties hid not been sharpened into an, unnatural state. of acuteness by legal study, would"stippose,that the longer, a debt stood unpaid, the more would this obligation be increased. He wonid be astonished, there fore, to find that pet at the moment' when' he was about to claim an old'debt with interest, simple and compound, and was probably going to reproach the debtor with keeping out of the' way so long—that what he 'considered to he a moral. crime _was an act of well, calculated thriftiness, having the effect of annulling the claim :according, to ref of Parliament. ' It would be difficult to explain to such a man upon whatprinciple ,an act was framed, that allowed every debtor to go free who contrived to keep oat of the' way of his creditor six years. , The wonderful doctrine that the more you wrong aman in trade the more you may, being'embodled in a statute having legal force, is encouraging to that large class that I call' debtors; but la not so 'encouraging to that other large, and very-useful, tax-paying class' that twill creditors.'" inrerence is, that the State, wishes to Cultivate the first at the expense, of the second. Or, perhaps, It is only ',it, rnasked movementlatended by dis couraging- the second to destroy the first? When the Right Honorable Lord Battleaxe, K.C.8., takes, as a ,rule, from his tradesman, five year's credit, he has; only to stretch the' period one year more to carry it into eternityy I certainly was delighted to find the Reve rend Origen Bilk, M. A., whom I—or rather the late John Smirker—had nursed through the different stages' of'lighting Oxonian, 'plucked undergraduate, crammed BiA. down to the living Of SLITItus-imthe-Pens, pleading a statute run," and declining_ to pay for the college extravagances'atith ho had indulged .in with. such . vigareee - prodigality. It - ia, a good sign when a man—especially a cliirgy mam----so far reforms the errors of his youth as to turn his back upon his ' early dissipations, oven to the extent of repudiating payment for them. If ever the protecting shield of legal mercy was righteously extended over the prostrate form of the suffering debtor, it is in the case of the'lteverend Origen Bilk; M.A. .He. has ,suffered mulch froin - the ruthless hands of the Importunate creditor, who insisted upon clothing him with the • richest purple and the finest linen, feeding hint with the-daintiest viands,' and nourishing him with the rarest wines, and who now - -would 'seek ,hint out in the calm mansion' of ' his clerical hermitage, And who---did not a considerate law 'Meat be nevolently interfere,--wOuld: destroy, the un 'ruffled serenity of that meditative mind, which note divella upolithingsthet are higher thanthe -tailor's bill which perisheth. - - . - ;The same tenderness -to debtors who keep out tif the way, distinguishes even sonic . of the seiiniest laws which have been the,product of -our recent legislation. The debtor is the dar ling of the law,'"-and It cannot,' find it in its 'heart ~to. deal_ harshly' With' Min: The now Bills, of ;Eitchatge _Arty which alloys= the -tyranny , :of 'a , judgment ...fn. the short period ,of twelve bye, seeming that my victim has no valid idea c k e answer that he is not indebted to me, breaks down entirely if my victim keeps out of the' way-for six clear months; and my thirst 'fri. vengeance is tantalised with the tortures of the old, tardy, and expensive mode of proceediug. 'lf I apply for the more hum ble essfstance-of the County Court, I and I have still many weeks to wait before the pros sure'of business will allow of my obtaining a hearing) When my victim comes up and tells a plaintfre story of his inability to pay in less than a given time.of very long duration, the judge;linbuod with the proper spirit of the law, inclines his cat_, to the dictates of mercy, cheeks the eager tyanny of the heartless credi tor, and grants an order to pay in twelve easy instalments. When' the time for the first and second payrient has long passed without my victim - - making any attempt to keep to his bond; I' have, then the option of procuring what is called a judgment summons, which, if .1 am fortenate enough to get it served per sonally upon my victim, within a certain time, will* another remote day for a new trial, when my victim will have to show cause why he failed in his contract. If the Claim should be tinder twenty pounds, and my; victim ,be a single young man victim, residing in furnished lodgings, with no estate, properly so called,he has tamely to state this fact to the willing ear of the court, andleave nie, like a baffled tiger, how ling for ixty prey. If my victim thinks proper to set sail for the Cocos Islands, or some other land, _Where, creditors cease from troubling, end the debtor is at rest, I can watch him go on board his hounding bark, end, like Calypso, mourn for the departure .of my Ulysses; but alteil 1 can do no Mere, for he only owes rue -nineteen pounds nineteen shillings and cloven pence. I Two Pence.moreond—shades of So lon fld-Lycurgus--4 am avenged ! ' • 'When I turn over the old unpaid bills of exchange of my predecessor, the, late John Smirk and find amongst them Many under Rio pounds, I am' reminded of an old act .Passed ,in the- time • of George, the Third, and naier yet repealed, that is a -perfect hi -umiak 'of protective legislation. The bill of exchange—the pride and. glory of - modern e r btureefce—is looked upon as a modern lux :llryintended only for the enjoyment of the 'wholesale trade, and-only granted to the re 'tall under the most praiseworthy precautions. Poor Stnirker's bills, I need not say, are so • utneli.aiaste paper; for he had no idea of the retplireinents•of the law touching., the imple ments he was dealing with. A bill of exchange, , •according to George the Third—l .say accor ding to' him; because he -was Anything- but .a 'royal - nonentity in the state—if under five pounds', must not be drawn at a. longer period -than - twentyzone days •, it must ho paid away On thetaraCtlayns that on which -it is drawn ; Ite.lind, rsement must; sot forth ; the. name and address of the person to whom it is endorsed, andauch endorseinent, with every name upon it but the must bear the signature of an attesting witness!. If any one of these requirdments is 'neglected,- it is fatal 'to the Ahlidity of the Instillment. When this cautious :clause was perfected, the,old. king must have felt that although halm' entrusteda dangerous squib in the hands of the small ignorant tra ders of the country; he had taken every pre caution to issue directions for letting it off, so that the case might not burst and Injure their lingers; Our present rulers must be of the . slime stay of thinking, as they allow the clause to•remain-nnexminged from the statute-book, '• '- . ,py the benefits of bills of exchange as proofs oftimate - --...iroliable instruments, to -all transactions under five - peama.-_____ - ' The next thing that troubles me is a litigar- - log renmant of feudality. The haughty baron , of the ° nineteenth-century does not despoil his ' humble retainer and tradesman, but he takes • credit, which is nearly the same thing. If the haughty baron is a member of the royal house ' hold, the feudal element is increased. The . haughty baron rides roughshod over all human ' feelings, and wears out patience of the most endurable kind. The haughty baron keeps me at bay to the very verge of the Statute of Limitations, and, in self-defence; I am obliged to hiiVe recourse to the - Jaw. • The Jaw inform rue that Ilan do nothing without the _written 'sanction of the lord steward of her Majesty's household. Igo to Buckinghain Palace, and after the usual delay and trouble, I .:obtain an interview with an under-secretary, who tells me,that my application for permission to sue must be made in writing, accompanied with full particulars of my claim; and he kindly advises me - ter make it upon folio foolscap, 'with a margin. I send in my claim upon the haughty baron in the required form, and in a few days I receive a reply from the lord stew ard, stating that if the money he not paid within a certain liberal specified time from the date of the lord steward's ° communication, I have the lord steward'i permission to take legal proceedings against the haughty baron. It is amusing to find a royal palace converted info a' sanctuary for' haughty but insolvent barons. It is possible that if the rude emissary of the law was allowed. free entrance to the sacred precincts of the household, the royal banquet in the evening would be graced with at least one gold stick in waiting less than the royal eyes had whilome been accustomed to look upon. I believe that the best authorities on govern ment held that taxes are paid for protection to 1 potion and property. I Will admit that say person is fairly protected; but if my heroic statesman can spare a little time from those brilliant employments of ornamental govern ment—lndian annexations, colonial extensions, military campaigns, diplomatic subtleties, and 1 foreign legations—for the more homely task of 1 Protecting tny property, by looking into the relations of debtor and creditor, the successor of the late John Smirker, the next time the collector calls; will' pay histaxes with a more cheerful countenance. . , proposals.
