By the Court:

--This is a question of fraud; and we can perceive no just reason, why a creditor should not be examined to ascertain whether, on that ground, the petitioner ought [269]*269to be remanded. The evidence can never affect the judgments; nor be admitted, on any other occasion, to maintain the personal interest of the witness. Let him be sworn.
