day Judge Brady rendered the following opiniOn:--
The allegation that the defendants carried their

In the Matter Of JutfUs KLan,6e, a Bontroap.-
Judge Benedict has just rendered his decision in
this case. On the 9th or November, 1869, the per-
sonal property Of Klambe was seized by the sheriff
by virtue of an attachment under the laws of the
State After the levy OF the attachments two suits were
commenced in the Marine Court ofNew York against
the bankrupt, in which judgments were obtained
aud executions issued and delivered to the sherin
After such levy the debtor filed his petition in bank

In his decision Judge Benedict says that he can
not assent to this view Of the effect OF the Bankrupt
act In case like the present one. In the present
case all the right which the Judgment creditor had
acquired was by levy on property already subject to
an attachment to its full value. Such levy gave
the Judgment creditor no security and docs
not entltle him to apply to thus court for payment
OF his judgment In full out OF the proceeds Of the
estate. His HOnors determination Is based upon
the assumption that the prior attachment was q
