proved Of $2s, $50 was disallowed. Judge
Fox delivered an opinion allowing $25.-
5sg to stand, and suspending dividends
upon the balance, $1,000, until the special
securities pledged therefor should be
converted into cash. Mr.. Donnoll held
notes of tho bankrupt firm indorsed by
two Of the members, the notes being
secured by tho individual property Of

receiving a dividend from the partner
ship estate. This is the first case pre-
scnting this point which has arisen
