Q., s. 183.
51.—(1.) Where any examination of a bankrupt or witnesses or of any other person is had before any Court, the Court may, on the application of the trustee or any creditor (but at the expense in the first instance of the party making the application) direct the evidence of the bankrupt or witnesses or of any other person, or any of them to be taken down by a shorthand writer appointed by the Court.
(2.) The shorthand writer shall be sworn faithfully to report the evidence and a transcript of the shorthand writer’s notes certified by him to be correct shall be admitted to prove the oral evidence of the witnesses in the same manner as depositions signed by them may be admitted.
