Mr Grist That is perfectly true, my Lord, but I believe it is only very recently that the question of the time at which a man should be adjudicated bankrupt has come before this Court,

He could not attempt to get in the assets, and until placed in the position of Trustee it was almost impossible that he could verify the statement of affairs or conduct the public examination.
His Lordship said there were powers under the Bankruptcy Ordinance when the Trustee might be permitted to appear in the public examination, but prima facie the duty of the public examination lay on the | Official Receiver qua Official Receiver.
