INDICTMENT UNDER THE BANKRUPT
LAw.-The grand jury of the United
States Circuit Court, at its last session,
found a true bill of Indictment against
Fisher & Goldstoin, late clothing merchants
in this city and Orange courthouse, for
violating the forty-fourth section of the
bankrupt law Of the United States.
The indictment charges them with secro-
ting and concealing goods to the amount of
$40, 900, in violation of that act, and with
disposing Of property recklessly and at
great sacrifice, which they had obtained on
credit and had not paid for. This offense
is made misdemeanor by this section, and
is punishable by imprisonment for term
not exceeding three years.
All who are aware of the great number
OF cases in bankruptcy which have been
disposed Of since the war, will be sur
prlsed to learn that this is the first indict-
ment ever found in this district under that
act; and it is to be hoped that the pro-
ceedings in this case, whatever may be the
result as to the parties mentioned, may
have the effect of checking any improper
use of the law to avoid the payment Of
honest debts.
