Section 356. Proceedings on return of order to show cause

Upon the return
  of an order to show cause, made as prescribed in the last section, proof
  of the service  thereof,  as  required  thereby,  must  first  be  made;
  whereupon  the  court  must  hear  the  allegations  and  proofs  of the
  creditors, and other persons interested in the estate, who appear. Where
  the prisoner is indebted to any person, the court must  appoint  one  or
  more  trustees, unless the persons interested in the prisoner's property
  pay the debt, or give such security, as the court  prescribes,  for  the
  payment  thereof,  either absolutely, or contingently upon a recovery in
  an action; in which case or where the  prisoner  is  not  indebted,  the
  court may grant or deny the prayer of the petition, as justice requires.
