Proceedings to accomplish depositor liquidation of banks shall be begun by the filing of a petition in the chancery court of the county in which such bank shall be domiciled within the ninety day period in which the state comptroller remains in charge of the closed bank. Each petition shall be signed by depositors owning sixty percent in amount of deposits not preferred and totally unsecured, and the allegations thereof shall be sworn to by at least one of the signers of the petition, either as true and correct upon personal knowledge, or upon information and belief. If any signer be a corporation the signature thereof by the president or vice-president shall be sufficient, and the signature of any partnership or similar firm by any member thereof shall be sufficient. The state comptroller shall be the only necessary party respondent to such petition. The petition may be heard by the chancellor in vacation or in term time, at such place in his district as he may direct, upon certificate of the chancery clerk that he has sent, at least five days before such hearing, by registered mail, to the respondent at the city of Jackson, Mississippi, a true copy of the petition, with time and place of hearing designated thereon. The cause in which such petition shall be filed shall be entitled "In the matter of the depositor liquidation of (name of bank proposed to be liquidated) by (naming here the liquidating corporation proposed to be formed)."
