Affidavit to be made by an Insolvent Person, on (The insolvent) maketh oath and saith, that to AFFIDAVIT. the best of his knowledge and belief all persons who were creditors of this deponent on the day of B AFFIDAVIT. nent's knowledge and belief, this deponent had not, previously to the said day of committed any act or acts of bankruptcy whatsoever. [Or if the (insolvent) cannot swear to this affidavit, let him swear] "That ALL persons "who were creditors of this deponent on the 66 day of in the year of our Lord (being the day, &c.) or at any time since, have duly executed, &c. except certain persons "who are not creditors in the whole for £200, " and no two of whom, or more than two dealing "in two copartnerships, are creditors for £150, "nor one of them, or more than one dealing in "one copartnership, is or are creditor or creditors "for £100; and that to the best of this deponent's "knowledge, &c. he had not previously, &c. "committed any act of bankruptcy (1)." (1) In all cases of purchase from insolvents there is some degree of risque, as the purchase is liable to be defeated by a subsequent commission. The creditors who have signed the deed are, however, estopped from petitioning for a commission. (See Tappenden v. Burgess, 4 East. 236.) and if the remaining creditors are not sufficient in number and value for the purpose, no commission can be taken out. The affidavit may be sworn before any magistrate or officer who will administer an oath; but as it is not in the course of a legal proceeding, perjury could not be assigned thereon. BONDS. No. II.
