Case No. 13,476.
    In re STOKES.
    [2 N. B. R. 212 (Quarto, 76).] 
    
    District Court, S. D. New York.
    1868.
    Bankruptcy — Discharge — Debt Contracted by Fraud.
    Objection to discharge based upon the fact that the debt was contracted by fraud, is not good, for such debt will not be affected by the discharge.
    In bankruptcy.

   BLATCHFORD, District Judge.

This case will stand for hearing on the specifications filed by the creditors, for whom Mr. Seixas appears. Either party may take further testimony ' before the register. The specifications filed by Richard Bell are insufficient. They go wholly to the fraud in contracting the debt to Bell, and, if true, the discharge will pot affect that debt.
