IMPORTANT DECISION. There were several
cases before the u S. District Court day, in
which liens by judgment upon real estate OF
baukrupts exceeded the value Of the property,
aud in which DEGREES had been rendered for
sale of lands to subject them to these liens after
which DEGREES aud before saae the bankrupts
had gone into bankruptcy. In such cases the
court decided as follows: Whenever the bank.
rupt's title to his estate, or any part OF it, had
not actually passed from him at the date Of
bankruptcy, either by his own act of alienation
10 the form of trust or mortgage deed, or other
wise, and had not been actually Invested by a
judicial sale, the creditor statutory lien by act
of Assembly was not superior to the right to
the $500 exemption given by act of Congress,
and the court would give the Congressional ex-
emption in preference to the State lien out of
bankrupt's assets, whether real or personal.
