Excerpt from Practice in Special Proceedings in the Courts of Record of the State of New York, Vol. 2 of 2: Under the Code and Consolidated Laws, With Forms Federal Bankruptcy Law 3 - 5, Mb, 70 Bankruptcy Law; 150 Debtor and Creditor Law), 1098. The Consolidated Laws contain a statute under the above title (chapter 12, Con solidated Laws 1909) described by the consolidators as a new law consolidating the statute relating to debtors and creditors. The report of the consolidators on the subject contains the following notes which state fully the reasons for the consolidation and the sources from which it is derived. First: General note under title as reported: This proposed Consolidated Law was made necessary to take care of the provisions relating to general assignments for the benefit of creditors which exist in the session laws as an independent act, certain provisions in the Revised Statutes relating to the powers of trustees of insolvent debtors and proceedings in the Code of Civil Procedure relating to insolvents. This arrangement will make a reference to these matters more convenient and will relieve the Code of proceedings that are not resorted to frequently, but which will help to swell its volume. The name of this chapter was adopted as one which is commonly used as a heading in digests and legal works. Second: Under Notes to text, Scope of the Law. The Debtor and Creditor Law is proposed as a new chapter of the Consolidated Laws. This law was made necessary by the fact that there existed independent statutes not contained in the General Laws or Code of Civil Procedure, as for instance, L. 1877, chap. 466; L. 1893, chap. 697, and Revised Statutes, pt. 2, chap. 5, tit. 1, art. 8, which could not be assigned to any present General Law. It was deemed expedient and convenient to place these in this new law with the relevant proceedings now in the Code, some of which are little used as, for instance, Insolvent's discharge from debts, Insolvent's exemption from arrest and imprisonment and Judgment debtor's discharge from imprison ment. Debtor and Creditor is a well-recognized head in digests and was adopted because the material included in the law related to both debtors and creditors, not merely insolvent debtors.
