of  any  corporation,  as  provided  in  the  first  section  of
this  act,  the  court  shall  possess  all  the  powers  and
authority  in  relation  to  such  action  and  the  proceed-
ings therein  and  the  parties  thereto,  as  was  exercised
by  the  late  court  of  chancery  in  this  State  in  proceed-
ings against  corporations  in  equity,  under  and  by  virtue
of  article  second  of  title  four,  chapter  eight,  part  third
of  the  Revised  Statutes,  so  far  as  the  same  may  be
consistent  with  this  act,  and  any  creditor  of  such  cor-
poration who  shall  not,  on  being  duly  required  by  the
court,  and  in  such  manner  as  the  court  shall  direct,
exhibit  his  claim  and  become  party  to  such  suit  within
a  reasonable  time,  not  less  than  six  months  from  the
first  publication  of  such  notice  by  order  of  the  court,
shall  be  pi'ecluded  from  all  benefit  of  the  judgment,
which  shall  be  rendered  in  such  suit,  and  from  any
distribution  of  moneys  which  may  be  made  under  such
judgment  among  the  creditors  of  the  said  corporation.
