1558. Fraud
In cases of fraud, the bankrupt may be proceeded against under the Debtors Act, 1869, under which he may be imprisoned for not exceeding two years with or without hard labour.
1559. Void Settlement
Settlement of property by a Debtor on wife and children will become void if the settlor becomes bankrupt within
two
years after date of settlement, and within
ten
years unless it can be proved that the settlor was able to pay his debts when settlement was made without aid of property settled. This does not apply to a settlement made before marriage, or after marriage of property accruing in the right of wife, or settlement made in favour of purchaser in good faith for valuable consideration.
