60.-(1) If the debtor does not appear at the hearing, the Court may make a receiving order on such proof of the statements in the petition as it may think sufficient.

(2) If the debtor appears to show cause against the petition, the petitioning creditor’s debt, and the act of bankruptcy, or the matters notified by the debtor to be disputed, shall be proved; and if further time shall be desired by the petitioning creditor or by the debtor, the Court may, where it is satisfied that the extension will not be prejudicial to the general body of creditors, grant such further time (in each ease not exceeding seven days) as it may think fit.

(3) No costs occasioned by an extension shall be allowed out of the estate unless expressly ordered by the Court.
