AN ACT OF BANKRUPTCY.


The decision rendered by Judge Town
bankruptcy case of Horace B. Hunter
of Madison is the first of the kind hand
ed down in this district G. W. Woolley
& Sons of Hartford petitioned that
Hunter be declared bankrupt, alleging
that within four months of his failure
he committed acts of bankruptcy. The
specific allegation was that he assigned
policy of life insurance, the present
value of which is over $500, to other per-
sons, the policy being on his own life
and payable to himself.
Judge Townsend found that this con-
stituted an act of bankruptcy, and in
his opinion said
This policy was an indemnity policy
payable in fifteen years to the respond
ent or his executor, upon which thirteen
years premiume had been paid. 1t had
been made payable in case of the de-
cease of the respondent to his minor
sons and cousin, and the surrender
valuesw was over $500.
The respondent commended that it was
not an assignment Of a vested interest
but an assignment Of a contingent in
terest which could not be properly APP
praised and could not be the subject of
attachment. This policy constitutes
property which the creditors of the
bankrupt were entitled to apply to the
payment of their debts. It's value for
their purpose was very much decreased,
if not entirely destroyed, and the re-
spondent by the change in its condition
put 1t out Of his power to surrender 1t
and receive the cash value.
"The change in the policy constitutes
an act of bankruptcy. Let the respond
ent be adjudged a bankrupt"
