With observations, and proposals for rendring the bill more effectual; by extending thro' the kingdom the custom of foreign attachments, and courts of conscience, for more easy recovery of small debts; and by restraining the ill practices of inferior courts, and also of under-sheriffs and their officers in arrests and executions.
