Court of Session Inner House Second Division.
Facts:
Circumstances in which a bankrupt, incarcerated under the Act 19 and 20 Vict. c. 79, held entitled to succeed in a petition for liberation, the trustee not appearing to support the warrant.
This was a petition for liberation by a bankrupt incarcerated under the Act 19 and 20 Vict. c. 79, for refusing to give satisfactory answers to questions asked during his examination.
Scott, for the petitioner, argued that the warrant was informal, the question and answer not being engrossed therein in full.
The Court held that, while it would have been more satisfactory had this been done, it was unnecessary to decide that question, and that, in the absence of opposition by the trustee, the bankrupt was entitled to liberation.
