such
ever been made since through
the Ordinance has been in operation
for sixteen
years.
But there is
a proviso in
the Ordinance that "if any case should arise which shall not have been expressly provided
for by 'such' general orders, but for which provision has been made by the general orders framed
in pursuance of the English Bankruptcy Act 1861, the Chief
Justice
may
apply to such
case
any of the
orders so
framed aforesaid"
and
in
his discretion.

Snowden lays it down that under
this proviso and in
the absence
of any
rule
upon
the subject under
the Ordinance certain general
Orders
made under the Act of
1861
(viz.
rule 14)
which specifies
certain matters to be heard at
Chambers
may
be applied by the
Chief Justice to the case of
similar business in the Court
of Bankruptcy here.
I do not think it can. The
proviso
which
says
that "if any
case
should arise which shall
not have
been expressly provided
for by such general Orders" must
be limited to
any
case.
