Report on the law of debtor and creditor so far as relates to proceedings subsequent to final judgement

Abstract

As you have desired that I should report "On the present state of the Law of Debtor and Creditor in Ireland, so far as relates to the part of the proceedings which is subsequent to final judgment," I have most carefully considered the subject, not merely in its legal relations, but in its bearings on commercial credit and the social and moral condition of the community; and in submitting to you the results of my investigation, I have to beg your patient attention to details which are so little attractive in themselves, and so remote from the course of your ordinary reading, that I should despair of interesting you in them, but for the great practical importance to society of an inquiry affecting the ultimate object and result of all legal proceedings ? the execution of the judgments of our courts of justice.
