KNOTTY PROBLEM
FOR THE S0L0NS
Pretty Question as to Bankrupt's
Right to Claim Benefit of Home
stead Exemption Act.

Whether man who, after making an
assignment, is forced into bankruptcy,
can claim the benefit Of the homestead
exemption &C. is a question that Will
be decided in the United States Courts,
and has been the cause OF mucn COM
1lent and discussion among the lesai
iGratern:ty. At present there Is much
diversity OF opinion, and Judge "ao-
dill,s final ruling is awaited with much
interest. AS the matter now stands, the
report of Mr.. C. p. Cardwell. referee IN
bankruptcy, has been overruled oy Judge
Waddill, OF the United States DISTRICT
Court This opinion was rendered orally
Int Judge Waddiil will be asked 10 lie
a written opinion.
The case in question is in the niatteI
of w. Z. Moran, bankrupt. On August
% 1900 Moran made an assignment, con-
veying all of his property to +. b. Eng
lish. trustee for the benefit of creditors
with the power to convert his stock IN
trade into cash and distribute the net
proceeds. afer paying all necessary eA-
penses. pro rata among his creditors. "o
DAYS later however. a petition was 1ied
bv certain creditors of Moran, asking that
he (Noranl be adju.ssed bankrupt,
alleging that ne. ny Niitue VI Aiio NSSN ~
assignment to E. 3. English, had COM
1nittea an act of Bankruptcy. On Octo-
her 10. 1900, Moran was adjudged bank
rupt.
Moran having in his deed OF assign
ment waived all claim to the benefits OF
the homestead exemption act, IN the
bankruptcy proceedings entered claim Tor
these benefits. The counsel for opposing
creditors contended that
1oir cd cot
apart under his homestead deed have not
been paid for, and the burden OF proof
is on the party claiming such exemption
| to show that they have been paid for.
| Second That by virtue of the deed OF
assignment TO the said Z. 3. English,
trustee, conveying all his property, in
| Guiding that in which he now claims his
| homestead, the bankrupt parted with the
title to these articles SO claimed and IS
now estopped from claiming them under
the homestead deed filed in these proceed
ings on the ground that the title to this
property had been vested in the trustee
under the deed of assignment and could
not in any way revert to the said Moran
Moran, however, submits evidence show
ing that the title to the property was
rightfully invested in him and Referee
Cardwell has also ruled IN favor OF the
bankrupt III the second contention.
Though the amount involved Is small,
yet there is possibility of an appeal be-
ing taken to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals by those who will be
affected by the courts ruling.

sell, in a brief speech and in behalf Of the
Institute welcomed the guests to Hamp-
