Evidence
In a Bankruptcy cause – where in that sort of cause in which hundreds of
thousands – not to say millions – come to be
wait to receive decision distribution from the noble and
learned hand – if the application wear the form
of a Petition affidavit evidence, and no other,

open his own mouth in his own defence.
