The court or a commissioner may direct any claimant to appear, upon reasonable notice, before the court or one of its judges or commissioners or before a notary and be examined on oath or affirmation concerning any matter pertaining to his claim. The examination shall be reduced to writing and be filed with the clerk of the court and remain as a part of the evidence in the case.
