In AND ABOUT THE COURTS
JUDGE TOJVNSEND'S DECISION IN
THE ROBERT YEITCH CASE.
BcehIer Case Goes to the Jury I'm the
Superior Court-FOrmal Judgment
Entered Against Mrs. M"yo-City
Court Cnsess

Judge Townsend of the United States
court handed down a decision in the
bankruptcy case Of Robert Veitch &
Son, florists Of Westville, who went
into bankruptcy some weeks ago.
Veitch & Sons had real property mort
gagged to Willis E. Miller for $500. The
mortgage was much more than the
property was worth. 1t was sold UNI
der bankrupt sale for $4,000. There
We're tax liens on the property for $44e.59
and the question arose whether these
back taxes should be paid by the trus-
tee of the estate or by the mortgagee.
Referee Henry G. Newton heard the
question and he gave a decision which
said that the mortgage should pay the
tax An appeal was taken to Judge
Townsend, who supports Referee New
ton.
Judge Townsend says in his opinion
that there is no precedent for the case
so far as he can find
In his opinion Judge Townsend says:
1.-THE referee held that the taxes Sc
cured by liens upon the real estate
were secured claims; that the only re-
suit of payment would be to take the
amount from the general creditors FOR
the benefit of the mortgage W1thout
benefit to the tax collector; that such
result would be inequitable and that
taxes SO secured came within the rule
of secured claims under the statute;
that the practical result of payment OF
these taxes on real estate by the trus-
tee would be to take the amount from
the general crditors and give 1T to the
mortgage, must Of course be conceded.
1T follows then that upon precedent
taxes should not be paid by the trus-
tee where such payment would operate
to the advantage of a third party
against another, the taxes being in that
event secured"
