Section 5, The Debtors' Ordinance

If the Court, after making such investigation as it mayconsider necessary, shall be of opinion that there is a probable cause for believing that the defendant is about to leave the Debtors [Cap. 24 Colony or Protectorate, or that he has disposed of, or removed from, the Colony or Protectorate, his property or any part thereof, and that in either case by reason thereof the execution of any judgment or decree which may be made against him is likely to be obstructed or delayed, it shall be lawful for the Court to issue a warrant in, or to the like effect as, the form marked A in the schedule to this Ordinance annexed, to bring the defendant before the Court, that he may show cause why he should not give good and sufficient bail for his appearance.
