Opinion

But the Countsaid that though thefraud had been alledged and tried,! and the issue found for the petitioner (which in this case had not been! done, the court considering the statement as not amounting to an aI-[ legation of fraud,) yet they must proceed with the hearing of his pe-I tition to see whether in other respects he is entitled to his discharge/ and that apart from any fraud they would, on a proper case appear-] ing, adjudge him to serve his creditors.

The petitioner was discharged.
