Tho Court did not think' it nocessary to reopen tho entiro caso, and to! dioar tho whole tostimony de novo. Ho thought that tho propor practice, that ono which, would eave most timo, and do equal jus- tlco to all partles, was to hear additional testimony that the respondent dosirod to inject into tho case. The petition, charges that tho potitioning oroditor's dobt is not bona fide, Tho Court did not seo tho nee- essity for taking any other testimony than on’ that point. Any proof of this kind the Court ‘would deem it proper to hear.
