the bankrupt, remaining under the control of the trustee at the close of the
bankruptcy of any bankrupt, or accruing thereafter, shall be accounted and

the same purposes as are mentioned in the said Act. The trustee shall also
deliver a list of any outstanding property of the bankrupt to the prescribed
persons, and the same shall, when practicable, be got in and applied for the

authorised under section 104(2) (including any sum credited to that account
under paragraph (a)),

for lodgment into the Insolvency Account; and

(c)he shall deliver to the official assignee a list of any outstanding
property of the bankrupt's.
