The master lawfully exercised his discretion in refusing to commit the debtor to prison because the judgment creditor's solicitor had unequivocally abandoned any application for committal; Order 49B does not grant a master jurisdiction to imprison on his own motion; attempts to revive the abandoned application based on the master's injudicious comments were not permitted; the appeal is therefore dismissed.
