If the creditor at whose suit the debtor is imprisoned or was arrested, or any other creditor, shall in an action brought in a summary manner prove to the satisfaction of the court that the debtor has not fully delivered up to the use of his creditors all of his property, real or personal, or that he has concealed or kept back any part of his property or suffered a judgment to be entered against himself, or made any conveyance, deed, mortgage, sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of his property, real or personal, with intent to defraud his creditors, the court shall remand him to prison, there to remain in close confinement until discharged by due course of law.
In such an action, the debtor shall have a right to trial by jury.
