Inloo-tant Hecision IN Bankruptcy

Important RECESSION Ah LssAHfHpsty'
VOLUNTARY ASSIGNMENTS AND DISCHARGES
IL BAHKRuPrCY.-We publish this morning
a decision in bankruptcy which we think
will be surprise, and al unpleasant one, to
some people.
The facts of this case decided by Judge
Blatchrordl make it one of sweeping appll-
cation; for the assignment was made, rs the
BANKRUPT says. under the advice of counsel
that it vas !iwlal. and ii was not illmedi-
ately followed up by an application fora dis,
charge in bankruptcy. Ten months elapsed
after it was made before the bankrupt filed
lis petition. The case therefore ia'rly goes
50 far rs to read that voluntary assignments,
even though they be without preferences,
arc forbidden; for il one is made, it Is
4 ground for involuntary proceedings; IN
which The assigned property is to be taken
charge OF by tic assignee appointed by the
court, and ii is also . ground for refusing to
discharge the maker from his debts.--Ae'c
