Judge Burlington handed down an
opinion Monday ii the United States
District court, in the bankruptcy case
of Mrs Rose Thomas, Of Mercer coun ty,
in which the court lays down a new and
important rule respecting some things
which are held to be acts Of bankruptcy.
Judge Burlington holds that one who
permits judgments 10 be entered and Is
sued upon. without taking any steps ~
have them vacated Or discharged. com
mita an act of bankruptcy and an in
voluntary petition can be maintained.
The question has never been squarely
raised before, bat the general rule has
been that the insolyent should have IN
some manner or forIn procured or aided
in procuring the judgm ents. In the
present case the ins olyent simply allow
cd the judgments 10 be entered and
tf. lfyy faH
stay the executions, yet the court TO-
verses the commissioner who reported
that the petition IN bankruptcy should
be dismissed, and orders an adjudica-
tion.
