Bankr. Act, § 14b. FTo such intent is found or alleged’ here, or any other statutory cause. Without such, by the terms of the act, a discharge is required. So room is left for a refusal tor any other than statutory reasons, however salutary they might be claimed or thought to be. Discharges granted.
