  1. Debtor & Creditor Law
  2. Article 3. Insolvent's Discharge From Debts

§ 81. Proceedings upon return of order. If, upon the return of the

order, it appears that the assignment has been duly executed, and that

the petitioner has duly delivered all his property directed to be

assigned, and all the books, vouchers, and papers relating thereto,

which are capable of delivery, the court may, either

1. Grant a discharge of the petitioner, notwithstanding the neglect or

refusal of the trustee; or

2. Make an order, revoking the appointment of the trustee. Upon the

entry of such an order, the powers of the trustee, and his interest in

the assigned property, cease. If there is no other trustee, the court

must, by the same or another order, appoint one or more new trustees.

Such an appointment has the same effect, as if the person or persons so

appointed were named as trustees in the original assignment.
