Vacating of seat in House of Commons.

41. If a person, being a member of the Commons House of Parliament, is
adjudged bankrupt, he shall be and remain during one year from the date of the
order of adjudication incapable of sitting and voting in that House, unless
within that time either the order is annulled, or the creditors who prove
debts under the bankruptcy are fully paid or satisfied.

Provided that such debts (if any) as are disputed by the bankrupt shall be
considered, for the purpose of this section, as paid or satisfied if within
the time aforesaid he enters into a bond, in such sum and with such sureties
as the Court approves, to pay the amount to be recovered in any proceeding for
the recovery of or concerning such debts, together with any costs to be given
