A92285	Reasons most humbly offered to the consideration of Parliament, why a bill now depending before them, against Richard Thompson and partners should not be passed	England and Wales. Parliament.	1677 (1677)	Wing R570E; ESTC R42397	4,020	1

reason_n most_o humble_o offer_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o parliament_n why_o a_o bill_n now_o depend_v before_o they_o against_o richard_n thompson_n and_o partner_n shall_v not_o be_v pass_v the_o bill_n suggest_v first_o that_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o this_o kingdom_n make_v for_o prevention_n of_o fraudulent_a and_o wicked_a practice_n of_o bankrupt_n in_o deceive_v their_o creditor_n do_v not_o sufficient_o reach_v the_o evil_a contrivance_n of_o richard_n thompson_n and_o partner_n in_o regard_n the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o severe_a enough_o to_o meet_v with_o they_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o parliament_n can_v best_a judge_n whether_o in_o general_a the_o say_a law_n and_o statute_n be_v not_o sufficient_a and_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o defect_n answer_n or_o excess_n of_o severity_n which_o deserve_v their_o inspection_n since_o the_o say_a law_n be_v more_o severe_a and_o penal_a in_o england_n than_o in_o any_o other_o part_n of_o christendom_n and_o if_o the_o former_a law_n have_v be_v thus_o long_o sufficient_a for_o other_o it_o be_v humble_o hope_v there_o will_v appear_v no_o occasion_n for_o make_v a_o more_o rigorous_a law_n against_o thompson_n and_o his_o partner_n than_o against_o any_o other_o since_o they_o lie_v under_o the_o same_o circumstance_n with_o all_o other_o trade_v merchant_n second_o suggestion_n second_o that_o richard_n thompson_n and_o partner_n have_v be_v merchant_n and_o trader_n in_o or_o near_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o acquire_v great_a estate_n the_o better_a to_o gain_v they_o credit_n become_v joint_a partner_n in_o take_v up_o and_o give_v security_n for_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n by_o which_o mean_n they_o become_v possess_v upon_o security_n to_o the_o value_n of_o about_o 200_o thousand_o pound_n with_o intent_n to_o defraud_v all_o their_o creditor_n the_o sum_n though_o great_a be_v not_o above_o 136_o thousand_o pound_n in_o all_o as_o appear_v to_o their_o creditor_n upon_o view_n of_o the_o book_n and_o be_v say_v to_o be_v answer_n 200000_o l._n mere_o to_o increase_v clamour_n against_o they_o the_o great_a their_o estate_n be_v at_o first_o the_o better_a be_v their_o security_n and_o the_o less_o probability_n be_v there_o of_o have_v any_o fraudulent_a design_n their_o security_n be_v make_v good_a by_o they_o for_o above_o five_o year_n no_o man_n all_o that_o time_n be_v refuse_v either_o principal_a or_o interest_n when_o demand_v but_o afterward_o their_o creditor_n run_v upon_o they_o all_o at_o once_o destroy_v that_o security_n but_o they_o deny_v that_o ever_o they_o have_v any_o intent_n at_o any_o time_n to_o defraud_v any_o one_o of_o their_o creditor_n of_o a_o penny_n three_o suggestion_n three_o that_o in_o order_n to_o accomplish_v this_o fraud_n they_o dispose_v their_o stock_n into_o several_a factory_n beyond_o the_o sea_n and_o put_v the_o same_o out_o of_o the_o reach_n and_o power_n of_o any_o commission_n of_o bankrupt_a which_o practice_n of_o the_o say_v richard_n thompson_n &_o partner_n be_v to_o the_o utter_a ruin_n &_o undo_n of_o many_o family_n they_o do_v as_o all_o other_o merchant_n employ_v their_o money_n in_o foreign_a part_n in_o the_o most_o probable_a trade_n the_o better_a to_o enable_v they_o to_o pay_v interest_n but_o answer_v do_v not_o so_o dispose_v their_o stock_n to_o conceal_v or_o imbezel_n they_o from_o their_o creditor_n for_o their_o book_n in_o which_o be_v include_v a_o account_n of_o their_o whole_a estate_n from_o march_n 1675_o till_o near_a midsummer_n 1677_o by_o agreement_n with_o their_o creditor_n lay_v constant_o open_a for_o their_o daily_a inspection_n which_o clear_o show_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o secret_a contrivance_n on_o their_o part_n but_o always_o in_o a_o fair_a open_a method_n of_o negotiation_n four_o suggestion_n that_o richard_n thompson_n and_o partner_n the_o better_a to_o colour_v their_o wicked_a design_n after_o they_o have_v make_v over_o their_o own_o private_a estate_n and_o secure_v the_o money_n of_o their_o creditor_n do_v refuse_v to_o pay_v any_o of_o they_o and_o the_o say_v richard_n thompson_n and_o partner_n do_v appoint_v a_o meeting_n with_o all_o their_o creditor_n to_o acquaint_v they_o that_o in_o regard_v their_o money_n be_v beyond_o the_o sea_n though_o they_o can_v not_o pretend_v any_o loss_n they_o do_v only_o desire_v time_n to_o pay_v they_o without_o abatement_n to_o which_o they_o consent_v which_o design_n of_o the_o say_v richard_n thompson_n and_o partner_n be_v to_o get_v what_o money_n they_o can_v into_o their_o hand_n and_o to_o secure_v their_o book_n and_o account_n and_o leave_v all_o their_o creditor_n unpaid_a the_o fact_n indeed_o be_v thus_o when_o the_o creditor_n first_o grow_v jealous_a without_o any_o just_a cause_n give_v on_o their_o part_n they_o do_v not_o for_o six_o month_n after_o refuse_v answer_n any_o payment_n nor_o so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v able_a to_o make_v money_n out_o of_o their_o essect_v at_o home_n or_o abroad_o so_o that_o before_o any_o stop_n of_o payment_n they_o have_v pay_v they_o in_o that_o hurry_n about_o 60000_o l._n this_o be_v so_o sudden_o tear_v out_o of_o their_o several_a trade_n well_o but_o new_o lay_v be_v of_o so_o great_a prejudice_n to_o the_o grow_a estate_n that_o they_o be_v enforce_v to_o desire_v a_o meeting_n of_o all_o the_o creditor_n which_o be_v accomplish_v they_o there_o propose_v to_o surrender_v book_n and_o estate_n into_o their_o own_o management_n desire_v they_o either_o to_o accept_v thereof_o or_o to_o allow_v time_n the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o the_o creditor_n upon_o their_o own_o reason_n and_o the_o inspection_n make_v into_o their_o book_n refuse_v the_o first_o but_o comply_v with_o the_o second_o that_o so_o that_o estate_n what_o remain_v abroad_o may_v be_v draw_v back_o with_o better_a conveniency_n and_o subscribe_v their_o agreement_n to_o that_o purpose_n whereupon_o thompson_n and_o his_o partner_n proceed_v with_o all_o diligence_n to_o get_v in_o what_o they_o can_v lest_o all_o shall_v be_v lose_v well_o hope_v to_o have_v pay_v every_o man_n but_o be_v disable_v by_o one_o three_o of_o their_o creditor_n who_o stand_v out_o by_o daily_a action_n arrest_n attachment_n and_o by_o threaten_v with_o statute_n of_o bankrupt_a extort_a from_o they_o some_o double_a some_o treble_a their_o proportion_n payable_a to_o they_o by_o agreement_n aforesaid_a and_o many_o be_v pay_v

whole_a remain_a debt_n which_o necessary_o after_o their_o first_o strait_n put_v they_o upon_o further_a extremity_n so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a hitherto_o there_o can_v be_v no_o fraud_n intend_v and_o as_o to_o what_o be_v say_v that_o they_o can_v not_o then_o pretend_v any_o loss_n so_o far_o they_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v true_a that_o have_v at_o that_o time_n subject_v their_o book_n to_o their_o creditor_n they_o discourse_v but_o spare_o of_o their_o loss_n although_o then_o very_o considerable_a because_o the_o comply_a creditor_n have_v many_o of_o they_o promise_v to_o give_v new_a credit_n nor_o be_v the_o wound_n ●●_o the_o estate_n then_o so_o wide_o but_o the_o performance_n of_o such_o promise_n will_v have_v close_v and_o cure_v they_o and_o will_v not_o only_o have_v reestablish_v thompson_n and_o his_o partner_n but_o secure_v their_o creditor_n debt_n which_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n that_o they_o do_v not_o open_o publish_v their_o loss_n at_o
