PREFERENCE CREDITORS OF AEEsoLyEST DEBTOR.
Some recently published rulings OF the Su-
preme Court of the United States at it's October
term, endeavor to define, Us far IS possible tho
axtert to which an insolyent debtor may permit
bis property to be taken under judgment and
levy to satisfy one creditor III preference to
othele. though at the same time he may kno"
TINT he is iusclvent, aud would be without de-
fense against the petition Of any other creditor
Tor an orear in bankruptcy. The Court held
rs follows:
l. Under g6und construction Of Sections IS aud 80
Of the Bankrupt law something more tllan passive~
uonres5etance in insolvent debtor is necessary to
icya,1date Judgment aud levy OIL his property when
thedett IL due aud he has no defense.
2 In such case there is no legal obligation en- the
Debtor to file petition in bankruptcy TO prevent the
Judgment md levy, and failure to do 80 is not suf
ic;snt evidence Of intent to given preference TO-
the judgment CREDITOR or to defeat the operation Of
the Bankrupt law. ....... ...-....-..
5. Though the Judgment creditor in such case may
kppx tire insovent condition of the debtor, his 1udg
ment znd levy upon iis property are not therefore,
yuid aid are no ylblatou oi the act.
I. Lee thus obtained by him viii not be displaced
ay subsequent proceedings in bankruptcy, though
e0mmepced within four mouths after levy or he exc
