debts due to the Crown or to the Government of the Islands; and
debts with which the bankrupt stands charged at the suit of the Crown, or of any person, for any offence against a statute or law relating to any branch of the public revenue, or at the suit of any public officer on a bail bond entered into for the appearance of any person prosecuted for any such offence, and the bankrupt shall not be discharged from such excepted debts unless the Financial Secretary certifies in writing the Financial Secretary’s consent to the bankrupt being discharged therefrom.
