(1) An order of discharge shall not release the bankrupt from any debt on a recognizance, nor from any debt with which the bankrupt may be chargeable at the suit of the Crown or of any person for any offence against a statute 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 he or she shall not be discharged from such excepted debts unless the Crown Attorney certifies in writing his or her consent to his or her being discharged therefrom.
(2) An order of discharge shall release the bankrupt from all other debts provable in bankruptcy.

(4) An order of discharge shall not release any person who at the date of the receiving order was in partnership with the bankrupt, or was jointly or jointly and severally bound, or had made any joint and several contracts with him or her, or any person who was surety or in the nature of a surety for him or her.
(5) An order of discharge shall not release the bankrupt from any liability under a judgment against him or her in an action for seduction, or under an affiliation order, except to such extent and under such conditions as the Court expressly order in respect of such liability.
