General Laws, but no discharge shall be granted to the said cor-
poration, and the receiver of such corporation shall have the
same power and authority to maintain suits and proceedings, to
set aside preferences and void or fraudulent transfers and pay-
ments, conveyances and assignments by said corporation or by
any of its officers on its behalf in the same manner and to the
same extent as the permanent trustee of an insolvent debtor has,
under article 47 of the Code of Public General Laws, in refer-

conveyances and assignments, when made by a natural person
who has become an insolvent debtor, and the date of the filing
of the bill against such corporation, upon which it may be dis-
solved, shall be taken and treated for the purpose of determining
the validity of preferences and for all other purposes as the date
of the filing of the petition in insolvency by or against a
natural person.
