THE CREAM PUBLISHING Co. On July 23d
certain New York and Boston creditors of
the Cream Publishing Co. filed a petition in
insolvency against the company, and on the
same day warrant in Insolvency was issued
by the Insolvency Court. On the return
day, Aug, 10th, the company claimed that
tie Insolvency Court had no jurisdiction,
because insolvency proceedings We're sus-
pended by the new U. S. bankruptcy law,
which it was claimed went into effect July
1st. The Insolvency Court sustained the
position taken by the company and ordered
the proceedings dismissed for the foregoing
reasons. The petitioners have commenced
bill in equity in the nature of an appeal ,
which will be heard before Judge Emery at
the Supreme Court in Belfast next month,
The question as to when the new bankruptcy
law went into effect will probably then be
decided. The ablest lawyers differ that
point. Williamson and Thompson are at.
torneys for the petitioners, and Littletield Of
Rockland for the company.
