This is an action upon a recognizance given in poor debtor proceedings, conditioned for the debtor’s delivering himself up for examination within thirty days. St. 1888, c. 419, § 6. The recognizance is dated April 20, 1895. As we understand the defective bill of exceptions, the debtor submitted himself for examination and made default on May 17, at half past ten in the morning.
