                        order was made shall not preclude the taking of any proceedings by virtue of
                        this
Schedule

                        criminal bankruptcy petition, no property shall be distributed by his
                        trustee and no order shall be made by the court under
paragraph 8
so long as an appeal is pending against his conviction of any offence by
                        virtue of which the criminal bankruptcy order was made.

                            have effect, but without prejudice to anything previously done

the court may, on his application or on the application of the

                            the said court to be necessary or desirable in consequence of the
                            provisions of sub-subparagraphs (a) and (b).
