The Bankrupt Law.

The following is a synopsis Of the
bankrupt act as it became a law
II gives original jurisdiction to the
district courts of the United States
the u. S. circuit courts having a super
visOFy power as courts of equity. APP
peals are allowed to the circuit court.
aud in cases involving two thousand
dollars and upwards. to the supreme
court of the United States.
The act provides for two kinds Of
bankruptcy-vOl and invOlunta-
~. In the former, persons indebted
more than three hundred dollars, and
being insolvent may petition the
Judge, Of the district where he has re-
sided for the last six months, or for
the longest period during that six
months, and thereupOn be declared
bankrupt The creditors, upon notice
meet and appoint an assignee or as
signees, of the assets of the debtor,
the appointment to be made Dy the
creditors In proportion to the value
and numbers Of these who have prov
ed their indebtedness If they cannot
agree, the District Judge appoints or
if there is no opposition, the Register
may. The entire estate of the bank
rupt passes into the hands Of the as
sigDees, who have full power of col
lection and adjustment aud closing up
Of the estate. In the distribution Of
the estate, dividends~are to be paid as
agreed upon by the creditors, a major
ity in value determining. But the
following claims have precedence and
must be paid In full
1st-Expenses of the bankrupt act
incl ttdin6 fane 8yn
2d-Debts, taxes, &c. due the uni
ted States, e
3d-State debts and taxes.
Wages due laborers, clerks,
&c, not to exceed fifty dollars, for Ia
bor performed within six months.
5th-All debts due to persons pre-
ferred by the law of the United States.
Lf no fraud appears, the bankrupt Is
entitled to his discharge. The ex-
empSions are household furniture, &e.,
but never to exceed Eve hundred dOl-
lars, and also whatever United States
or State laws exempt IN addition.
Involuntary bankruptcy ensues from
absence from the State where debts
are due, with intent to defraud ered-
i6ors, concealment to avoid process,
Ooncealment to avoid seizure of proper
ty, assignments to delay creditors, &c.
