Because service of the bankruptcy notice and petition had been properly proved at the time the receiving order was made and the court therefore had jurisdiction, subsequent discovery that the bankrupt was abroad at the time of posting does not render the proceedings void; absent grounds showing rescission would benefit creditors or that the bankrupt can pay debts, the application to rescind must be dismissed.
