ADJUDGED BANKRUPT. The petition
from sundry creditors of Samuel II. MeGee,
of Cecilton, in this county, to have him
adiudged bankrupt, was heard in the
United States District Court in Baltimore,
on Monday last. In giving his decision
Judge Giles said that there were two
grounds upon which the petition was
based. The first was the making Of a
mortgage of s., 600 by Niece while in.
solvent. 1t has been proven in regard to
this that the mortgage was made to secure
an advance of money made at the same
time of the mortgage, having no relation
to the old debt, and was no good ground
for bankruptcy.
The second ground was that Niece had
issued paper to different parties, which had
been protested, and laid over period OF
forty days. This of itself was sufficient to
claim by Niece that he had given this
paper to a creditor who promised to protect
it in no way altered the case, because McGee
had a remedy against this particular credi-
tor by suit for damages. In the mean
time the rights of the other creditors must
be protected. The petition was granted.
