The court or judge may at any time, pending the action, and upon such terms as it shall be deemed proper, compel the transferee to surrender to a receiver of the court, all property and effects in his possession, or under his control; and it may make such orders respecting the property as courts of law are now allowed to make concerning attached property. And when it is decided that a sale, mortgage or assignment was made in contemplation of insolvency and with the design to prefer one or more creditors to the exclusion in whole or in part, of others, the court shall compel the debtor to surrender to such receiver all property and effects in his possession or under his control, except such property as is exempt from executions, to disclose the amount of his debts, the names and residence of his creditors, all offsets and defenses to any claims against him, or any other matter which shall be deemed proper; and the court shall also compel every person who shall acquire by purchase, assignment or otherwise, any property or effects from such debtor, after the suit contemplated by this chapter shall have been instituted, to surrender the same to such receiver.
