§ 61. Affidavit of consenting creditor. The consent of a creditor must be accompanied with his affidavit, stating as follows:

1. That the petitioner is justly indebted to him, or will become indebted to him, at a future day specified therein, in a sum therein specified; and, if he, or the person from whom he derives title, is or was the purchaser or assignee of the debt, he must also specify the sum, actually and in good faith paid for the debt, as prescribed in section fifty-eight of this chapter.

2. The nature of the demand, and whether it arose upon written security, or otherwise, with the general ground or consideration of the indebtedness.

3. That neither he, nor any person to his use, has received from the petitioner, or from any other person, payment of a demand, or any part thereof, in money or in any other way, or any gift or reward of any kind, upon an express or implied trust, confidence, or understanding, that he should consent to the discharge of the petitioner.

Where a consenting creditor is an executor, administrator, trustee, receiver, or assignee, he may state the necessary facts, in his affidavit, upon information and belief, setting forth therein the grounds of his belief; but in that case, the consent must also be accompanied with the affidavit of the insolvent, to the effect, that all the matters of fact stated in the affidavit of the consenting creditor, are true.
