The following were the questions which the witness de- lined to answer:—At this time where was your money ‘and to what amount? did you ever keep an individual eecount inany bank? Mr, Edwin James, counsel for the witness, contended ‘at he was not compelled by law to answer such ques- tons, This was not the case of a bankrupt, in whose ex- ‘Smination much latitude was allowed, but that of a wit- ‘Ress; and if euch questions were admissible the powors of the act would be used for unjust and inquisitorial pur- poses. air, Seixas appoared in support of the motion, Judge Blatchford ruled that the questions should be answered, The investigations in all these cases must be of astrict and searching character. If a bankrupt alleges that be has had dealings with any person of a mee nature the witness is bound to disclose all the facts, e Judge refused an attachment, and directed the examination to proceed and the questions to be Confessions of Judgment.
