LXXVII. The Court may, after it has made an Order or Decree for winding-up the Company, summon before it any Person known or suspected to have in his Possession any of the Estate or Effects of the Company, or supposed to be indebted to the Company, or any Person whom the Court may deem capable of giving Information concerning the Trade, Dealings, Estate, or Effects of the Company; and the Court may require any such Person to produce any Books, Papers, Deeds, Writings, or other Documents in his Custody or Power which may appear to the Court requisite to the full Disclosure of any of the Matters which the Court thinks necessary to be inquired into for the Purpose of winding-up the Company; and if any Person so summoned refuses to come before the Court at the Time appointed, having no lawful Impediment (made known to the Court at the Time of its sitting, and allowed by it), the Court may by Warrant authorize and direct the Persons therein named for that Purpose to apprehend such Person, and bring him before the Court for Examination.
