The noted case in regard to the con-
stitutionality of the State Insolvency
Act, F. w. Baldwin, assignee, VS.. James
Boswell, has been recently decided by
the Supreme Court. The court decides
that the law is constitutional. The case
was really between certain creditors of
Skinner g. Drew. Just before these
parties went into insolvency under the
State Act, certain creditors sued the
firm and attached considerable property,
leaving other creditors out in the cold.
The court decides that the attaching
creditors must go into the pool with the
rest and take such per cent. as there
remains for all.
