IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE BANKRuPr
AcT.-A case involving questions of impor-
tance. arising under the national bauk rupt act
of lsoi, was begun in the Court of Common
Pleas Judge Carey, yesterday. The suit -
brought by William IL. Corner against Edgar
q. Miller and Walter :. Moore. garnishea II
John - Moore, an INV voluntary bankrupt The
assignee IN bankruptcy filed claim. asserting
Ms right TO the fund or property covered by the
attachment in the ease. This assertion of tn.
flghi un his part IN virtue of the 1ith section
% the bankrupt acf referred TO. which declare.
ihai the bankrupt shall assign 20 the assigns.

''althoug h the sanrrIs attached ON mesne pro-
ce-s as The property OF the debtor. and (such
asslgnm.nt) shall dissolve any such attach
ment made within four months next preceding
the commencement Of said proceedings." The
attachment i'm this case was issued within four
months OF the time OF the commencement of Ms
proceedings IN bankruptcy, and the assignee
claims, therefore. that the case lie covered by the

that II did not 20 into full operation until the

was issued in April, the bankrupt act has no
