In re Mawson

16 F. Cas. 1194, 1 Nat. Bank. Reg. 271, 1868 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 306

Opinion

BLATCHFORD, District Judge.

In answer to the question as certified in this case, I reply:

First. The proceedings upon the order to show cause why the discharge should not be granted, can be, on the return day of said order, adjourned, by reason of the adjournment of the examination of the bankrupt.

Second. The second question certified is not clearly stated, and I am not sure I understand it. The examination of the bankrupt can be adjourned beyond the return day of the order to show cause why the discharge should not be granted. Such adjournment necessarily operates as an enlargement of the time for the examination of the bankrupt. The presumption is that the register will not grant such adjournment except for good cause shown. The clerk will certify this decision to the register, John Fitch, Esq.
