1Opinion of the CourtBraley, J.

The St. of 1794, c. 65, was a revision of this statute and of the subsequent St. of 1788, c. 16, § 4. After providing the form of writ, full provisions were made for the summoning, appearance and answer of the trustee, and his examination upon written interrogatories, as well as for subsequent proceedings that might be required to make the remedy effective.
