Can a debtor who is discharged from bankruptcy provide a promissory note in order to secure payment of moneys owing to the debtor prior to his discharge from bankruptcy?

So too in Austin v. Gordon the debtor, following his discharge from bankruptcy, provided the plaintiff with a promissory note in order to secure payment of moneys owing in respect of goods sold and delivered to the debtor prior to his insolvency. In giving the plaintiff judgment Mr. Justice Wilson, with whom Mr. Justice Morrison concurred, referred at p. 623 to Lord Mansfield's decision in the Trueman case and, at p. 625, wrote: And notwithstanding the bankrupt has been and is discharged by operation of the statute, and the certificate or order granted under it, it is still a continuing debt in conscience, and the consideration for a new promise to pay it, or for the giving of a new security in respect of it.
