§ 74. When insolvent cannot be discharged. In either of the following cases, the petitioner is not entitled to a discharge:
1. Where it appears, upon the hearing or trial, that, after making the schedule annexed to his petition, he has collected a debt or demand, or transferred, absolutely, conditionally, or otherwise, any of his property, not exempt by law from levy and sale by virtue of an execution, and he neglects or refuses forthwith to pay over to the clerk, the full amount of all debts and demands so collected, and the full value of all property so transferred, except so much of the money, and of the value of the property, as appears to have been necessarily expended by him for the support of himself or his family.
2. Where it appears, in like manner, that the petitioner, within two years before presenting the petition, has, in contemplation of his becoming insolvent, or of his petitioning for his discharge, or knowing of his insolvency, made an assignment, sale, or transfer, either absolute or conditional, of any of his property, or of any interest therein, or confessed a judgment, or given any security, with a view of giving a preference to a creditor for an antecedent debt.
