BANKRUPTCY (IRELAND) AMENDMENT ACT 1872 - SECT 58

Exception of joint debtors.

58. The certificate of conformity shall not release the bankrupt from any debt
or liability incurred by means of any fraud or breach of trust, nor from any
debt or liability whereof he has obtained forbearance by any fraud, but it
shall release the bankrupt from all other debts provable under the bankruptcy,
with the exception of

(1)Debts due to the Crown:

(2)Debts with which the bankrupt stands charged at the suit of the Crown, or
of any person for any offence against a statute relating to any branch of the
public revenue, or at the suit of the sheriff or other public officer on a
bail bond entered into for the appearance of any person prosecuted for any
such offence:

And he shall not be discharged from such excepted debts unless the Treasury
certify in writing their consent to his being discharged therefrom.

A certificate of conformity shall be sufficient evidence of the bankruptcy and
of the validity of the proceedings thereon, and, in any proceedings that may
be instituted against a bankrupt who has obtained a certificate in respect of
any debt from which he is released by such certificate, the bankrupt may plead
that the cause of action accrued before he became bankrupt, and may give
this Act and the special matter in evidence.][
