This was a petition for approval of an offer of composition on the debts due by the bankrupt, which had been acceded to by the creditors, and for a discharge. The trustee reported that the bankrupt had attended the first diet for examination, but not the second; nor had he taken the oath prescribed by the statute.
Lord Justice-Clerk .—This petitioner kept away from the second statutory meeting. His friends now come forward and offer a composition. We cannot dispense with the requisites of the statute.
The Court suggested the withdrawal of the petition; which Thomson , having taken a day to consider, agreed to.
