Section 13, The Debtors' Ordinance

If the Court, after making such investigation as it mayconsider necessary, shall be satisfied that the defendant is about to dispose of, or remove, his property with intent to delay or obstruct the execution of the judgment or decree, it shall be lawful for the Court to order the defendant, within a time to be fixed by the Court, either to furnish security in such sum as may be specified in the order, to produce and place at the disposal of the Court, when required, the said property, or the value of the same, or such portion thereof as may be sufficient to satisfy the judgment or to fulfil the decree, or to appear and show cause why he should not furnish security. The Court may also in the order direct the attachment, until further order, of the whole or any portion of the property specified in the application. Debtors [Cap. 24
