Power to assignees in bankruptcy to continue action brought.
|
64. The bankruptcy of the plaintiff after action brought shall not cause an abatement of any action or suit in a Civil Bill Court which the assignees might maintain for the benefit of the creditors, if the asignees shall elect to continue the same, and shall give such security for the costs thereof as the chairman may direct, or deposit with the Clerk of the Peace a sum sufficient to secure such costs within such reasonable time as the chairman shall order but the hearing of the cause may be adjourned to enable the assignees to make such election, and if they shall not elect to continue the action, or shall not give such security or deposit such sum within the time limited by the order, the defendant may rely upon the bankruptcy of the plaintiff as a defence to the action or suit.
