nodtbartl, J. Z. Lockwood OF nl., to sot aside
an adjudication IN bankruptcy. which had boon
entered againHt the Chicago Composition Gram
Ito Company. 4 demurrer was intcrposed by
A1r. Darnum, attorney for defendants, on tho
ground that the Composition Granite Company
was not mado purity. 1t appears that Westor-
mayor was tho patcutoe OF the composition gram
itot md largo atookholder in the Com
! pany. Some time ago, during his
absence from tho city, petition
was flied againat tho Company, and 1t adludi-
cnted bankrupt, and its effects sold by tho
Assignee. TLe complainant claims that the
wliofo transaction was dono by fraud md col.

The Judge held that the onitting to make tho
Company party was fataf error on demurrer,
becauso tho Company must DO the recipient OF
accounting: Tho property would bo tho prop
! orty OF tho Company, and not Of tloao
individual stockholders. aud after paying tho
debts, 1t would ba liabic to dis
troation. ;, but tue Judge remarked
thonght tho proper courao would be to movo in
tho Bankruptcy Court within reasonable time
to have the adjudication set asde aud not to flo
bill. Tho District Court in bankruptcy had
anirle powofs,-just what tho District Court in
turn the adjudication in bankruptcy was like
asking one Circuit Court to roverso tho decision
Of another. ao could find no authority which

The demurrer was therefore sustained. and
