Note :
In England ,
until the year 1861 none but a "
trader "
could be made a bankrupt ;
a non -
trader failing to meet his liabilities being an "
insolvent ".
But this distinction was abolished by the Bankruptcy Act of 1861 .
The laws of 1841 and 1867 of the United States relating to bankruptcy applied this designation bankrupt to others besides those engaged in trade .

A person who has done ,
or suffered some act to be done ,
which is by law declared an act of bankruptcy ;
in such case he may be declared a bankrupt .
2 .
It is proper to notice that there is much difference between a bankrupt and an insolvent .
A man may be a bankrupt ,
and yet be perfectly solvent ;
that is ,
eventually able to pay all his debts or ,
he may be insolvent ,
and ,
in consequence of not having done ,
or suffered ,
an act of bankruptcy .
He may not be a bankrupt .
Again ,
the bankrupt laws are intended mainly to secure creditors from waste ,
extravagance ,
and mismanagement ,
by seizing the property out of the hands of the debtors ,
and placing it in the custody of the law ;
whereas the insolvent laws only relieve a man from imprisonment for debt after he has assigned his property for the benefit of his creditors .
Both under bankrupt and insolvent laws the debtor is required to surrender his property ,
for the benefit of his creditors .
Bankrupt laws discharge the person from imprisonment ,
and his property ,
acquired after his discharge ,
from all liabilities for his debts insolvent laws simply discharge the debtor from imprisonment ,
or liability to be imprisoned ,
but his after -
acquired property may be taken in satisfaction of his former debts .
